The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

"It seems that this Mr. Baal is quite generous." After digesting the information, Chen Guan's lips curled up slightly. Although this uninvited tenant was dangerous, he was not the evil demon that was rumored to be.

It's quite humane.

The next day, at the library.

Chen Guan and Su Yuehe often bumped into each other here. She closed the book in her hand, waved, and greeted Chen Guan.

"good afternoon."

Chen Guan, carrying his books, sat down opposite her. The library was quiet in the afternoon, perhaps because it was lunchtime and there was no one around.

"Okay." Su Yuehe looked at him and suddenly asked, "Which club do you want to join?"

Chen Guan looked up in surprise. He hadn't expected Su Yuehe to ask him this question, but he still answered, "I haven't decided yet, but yesterday Senior Li Yuqing invited me to join the Star Patrol Club."

"You agreed?"

Chen Guan replied generously, "Not yet. I originally wanted to ask about your plans first."

Su Yuehe made no secret of it: "I plan to go to the Secret Society."

Chen Guan was not surprised by this answer; Su Yuehe's special ability destined her to spend her life exploring the unknown.

"This little girl is unusual."

A familiar voice suddenly rang in his mind. His mind raced, and Chen Guan quickly realized that it was Baal speaking.

Although he can multitask, he cannot maintain normal external activities while simultaneously engaging in dialogue with Baal within his own mental space.

Fortunately, Baal didn't become a riddle-maker and started talking to himself: "It's as if she's been divided into two parts, or in other words, her spirit and her spiritual power come from two different people."

Two people...

A mental storm raged in Chen Guan's mind. He had read a lot of books during this period and had made up for a lot of knowledge. He had all sorts of miscellaneous things, and he could think of many different scenarios in an instant.

Possession? Incarnation? Split personality? For a member of the main character group, nothing is surprising. If the protagonist doesn't have anything strange about him, then what kind of protagonist is he?

The last honest person was Long Ao, but he's been relegated to the villainous ranks.

Seeing his sudden silence and vacant gaze, Su Yuehe called out softly in confusion, "Chen Guan?"

"Oh, sorry, I was thinking about something else just now." Chen Guan quickly regained his composure, suppressing Baal's words, and his face returned to calm: "The Secret Society... well, it really suits you."

He paused, then added, "However, although the Secret Society's activities don't involve fighting, they can be more dangerous at times, so you need to be careful."

Chen Guan speculated that An Changqing and Long Ao probably wouldn't join the Secret Society, so Su Yuehe would be the only one there. Since the Secret Society's full name is the Secret Arts Society, contact with secrets often comes at a heavy price.

We are all independent adults, and no one would easily change their development path or choose a club that is not helpful to them.

Su Yuehe felt his concern and nodded: "I will. You, Changqing, and Long Ao will be going to the Star Patrol Society. You should also be careful. The Star Patrol Society's activities are generally more exciting."

"A little excitement is good, it suits me." Chen Guan smiled.

The two chatted for a while about their recent cultivation experiences. The atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious. Chen Guan admired Su Yuehe's knowledge. Unlike him, who was only half-baked, she was a true academic genius.

Chen Guan noticed her expression and became even more concerned about what Baer had said. Su Yuehe usually seemed perfectly normal, a typical childhood sweetheart.

……

A few days later, the club's recruitment month officially began.

Su Yuehe joined the Secret Society as she wished. As a student of the Tian Shu class, no club would refuse her.

On the other side, Chen Guan found An Changqing and Long Ao.

"What are your plans for club recruitment?" An Changqing spoke first. As the top student, he had recently received countless offers, but he had declined them all for the time being.

"I haven't decided yet, but Senior Li Yuqing invited me to join the Star Patrol Club." Chen Guan repeated what he had said to Su Yuehe before.

"The Star Patrol Society?" Long Ao raised an eyebrow. "Qin Wu's gang? They're pretty strong, and their missions are quite exciting. I think it's rather interesting."

Long Ao and Qin Wu knew each other; they were from the same compound and were about the same age. They used to compete with each other a lot when they were young, but they gradually drifted apart as they grew up.

Now that the old story has been brought up again, he's actually quite eager to try it out.

An Changqing pondered for a moment: "The Star Patrol Society is indeed the academy's top practical society. It has a wide range of resources and many mission opportunities, which greatly helps in improving one's strength. It is indeed excellent."

He looked at Chen Guan and Long Ao: "For the two of you, the Xunxing Society is indeed very suitable for taking the practical route."

Long Ao grinned: "I have no objection, any place with lots of fighting is fine. I really want to spar with Qin Wu again sometime; I actually miss him a bit."

Suddenly, Long Ao thought of something: "What's your ranking on the Hidden Dragon List?"

An Changqing glanced at his terminal: "Ninety-nine."

"...Just how many side jobs have you taken on?"

Long Ao said dejectedly, "There are two ways to get on the Hidden Dragon Ranking: completing tasks and participating in PvP battles."

It's clear that An Changqing didn't let any of them slip by; he was trying to do both. However, Long Ao could understand, since An Changqing was going to be the student council president, and to become president, one had to be on the list first.

He wasn't in a hurry to get on the list; he either wouldn't get on the list at all, or he would aim to be in the top ten.

Firstly, he no longer wanted to; secondly, he was someone whose position was absolutely unshakeable.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Guan opened his terminal. He hadn't checked the rankings on the Hidden Dragon List yet. It would be strange if a freshman like him, who did tasks in a relaxed manner, could even make it to the top, so he naturally didn't pay much attention to it.

The top-ranked player has a very eye-catching name—Liu Ruyan.

Is there anything else about Emperor Ruyan?

Driven by curiosity, Chen Guan clicked on Liu Ruyan's profile picture.

The resume inside is incredibly impressive, but... something's not quite right about the age!

Long Ao caught a glimpse of Chen Guan's terminal screen out of the corner of his eye and said, "Liu Ruyan was a student ten years ago and has been repeating a grade. Don't worry too much about her."

An Changqing nodded in agreement, hesitated for a moment, and finally said simply, "In short, just pretend that this person doesn't exist in the school. The top spot on the leaderboard is absolutely impossible to obtain."

Repeating a year... Chen Guan looked at the impressive data above. If people like this all repeat a year, then probably no one at Tsinghua University will be able to graduate.

Was it intentional or accidental?

Moreover, Long Ao and An Changqing seemed to know some inside information.

As expected of Emperor Ruyan, he is terrifying!
