Returning to university, starting with confessing to his ex-wife, his counselor.

[Ding! The highly anticipated gift pack has been used]

[Ding! Congratulations! You have been selected by the official Mercedes "Youth Star Power" campaign to become a special campus experience officer for Mercedes Southwest China. The employment contract and related documents have been sent to your email address. Please sign them as soon as possible.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a Mercedes-Benz A180. The default color is Polar White. If you wish to change the color, please contact the Mercedes-Benz Southwest Marketing Department (Jinguan Branch), Tel: 028-65127XXX]

[A Mercedes? Aren't they going to pay again?]

Upon seeing the words before him, Liang Chao paused for a moment, then his lips involuntarily curled into a smile.

If they don't give you money, giving you a car would be nice too!

No man dislikes a car.

In his past life, when he was young, he longed to own a car of his own.

I was thinking of using it to show off in front of my buddies, and using it to take my older sister to the Potala Palace, Sayram Lake, and Litang.

On the wildest roads, listening to the most moving songs, and seeing the most beautiful scenery, be like Xu Xiake on wheels.

With wind blowing and sun shining, I feel free and carefree!

On his 26th birthday, he got his wish and bought his first car, a Mercedes!

Unfortunately, his older sister had divorced him, and he no longer longed for the scenery of Litang.

Even when he picked up his phone, wanting to share his joy (and show off) with his former buddies, he suddenly realized that his once close brothers were either scattered far and wide and had not been in contact for a long time, or had become little boxes.

The joy of picking up the car was overshadowed, and he drove the new car alone, circling the entire city.

Finally, in the dead of night, he stopped by the roadside in the suburbs and lit two cigarettes.

One was stuck in the ground, the other was in my mouth, and by the way... I also burned some paper for the foreigners.

......

"If I'm driving a Mercedes at eighteen, shouldn't I make up for all the time I missed showing off before?"

Liang Chao pondered for a moment, then searched for the Mercedes-Benz A180 online and saw that the official guide price was 25.2 yuan.

[Wait a minute? That's not right, I only have less than 20 followers, right?]

The moment the question arose in my mind, the system automatically answered it.

The Mercedes-Benz A-Class (imported) A180 Fashion Edition was officially launched on April 18, 2013, with an official guide price of 252,000 yuan. The cost of assembling and manufacturing with imported parts is approximately 198,000 yuan. This incentive does not exceed the limit.

[6! Still based on manufacturing cost!]

Liang Chao smiled kindly, satisfied with the system's approach. His only regret was that the system was a bit inflexible and refused to transfer cash to him.

As he was grumbling to himself, a new email notification popped up in his QQ email inbox. Upon inspection, it turned out to be an "Experience Officer Employment Contract".

[What's this "campus experience officer" thing all about?]

To reverse the trend of an aging customer base and capture the younger consumer market, Mercedes-Benz Group is advancing its youth-oriented strategy through the "Youth Star Power" campus campaign.

A recent photo of the host's new appearance was unexpectedly uploaded to the Weibo comment section of the event by a netizen named "I am not a little turtle," and caught the eye of a senior executive in the Southwest region.

They believe the host aligns with the brand's youthful and fashionable image, so they have specially created an experience officer position for the host, and gifted them an exclusive vehicle and corresponding benefits.

[Wait, does it really need to be this rigorous?]

Upon seeing the system's explanation, Liang Chao was somewhat dumbfounded.

The ID "I'm Not a Little Turtle" sounded silly, and he had no interest in knowing who it was.

But this "accident" and the "Youth Star Power" event are just too far-fetched. It feels like... making a whole pot of dumplings just for a dish of vinegar?

[Does this mean I can't pick up the car if I don't become a test drive ambassador?]

Liang Chao had a toothache and asked the unnecessary question.

If the host is not satisfied with this reward, the system can randomly change the prize for you. Would you like to change the prize?

Liang Dynasty: "..."

What else could he say? Sign it!

Although he believed the system wouldn't cheat him, Liang Chao still carefully read the contract terms.

To his surprise, he found that the terms were not harsh at all; in fact, they were practically free.

Aside from confidentiality obligations and some common vehicle usage obligations, there are only some tasks related to publicity.

For example, create a dedicated Weibo account and share photos of people and cars, as well as your experience and impressions, from time to time.

Then, we participate in two official Mercedes-Benz offline promotional events each year, in conjunction with brand presentations.

Aside from the obligations, they provide quite a few benefits.

They offer things like a Mercedes-Benz original factory experience package (including a brand logo hoodie, baseball cap, keychain, car air freshener, etc.), a monthly fuel subsidy of 500 yuan, and 24-hour free roadside assistance, etc.

What interests Liang Chao is that the experience officers can participate in Mercedes-Benz's Southwest China annual test drive event and new car appreciation event for free, and can bring one female companion.

It's equivalent to Mercedes-Benz's official offline car owners' club.

Coincidentally, the next new car appreciation event is at the end of next month.

It took Liang Chao nearly half an hour to finish reading the contract, sign it, and fill out the "Transfer of Ownership Agency Authorization Form".

Less than ten minutes after he closed the cloud signing link, he received an email from Mercedes-Benz on his phone.

Dear Experience Officer:

Your "Experience Officer Employment Contract" has been signed. Within 3 working days, we will mail the paper contract (with official seal) and the electronic contract preservation report to the Sichuan University Campus Office. Please check your mail.

We will complete the registration, annual inspection, licensing, insurance, and ownership transfer procedures for your Mercedes-Benz A-Class A180 Fashion (Polar White) within 3 business days. Please keep your phone accessible and wait for the inspection.

"This is outrageous! I don't even have to pay for insurance!"

Liang Zhi was deeply shocked and read the email over and over again. Just as he put down his phone, a notification sound rang in his ear again.

A fleeting glance will eventually fade; the true essence of a perfect life lies in transforming outward brilliance into inner influence.

[Advanced Side Quest: A Glimmer of Light Becomes a Torch, Attracting the Attention of All]

[Task Content: Register and operate a personal Weibo account, gain followers, and the system will count the number of valid active followers in real time. (Note: This is a permanent task; the number of followers will accumulate over time with no end date.)]

[Task Reward: 1 real follower = 100 RMB value, redeemable for an equivalent gift pack at any time]

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The new mission came somewhat unexpectedly, yet not entirely unexpectedly.

Liang Chao frowned deeply as he looked at the task details.

Yes, at this time, long videos cannot be uploaded to the Weibo mobile app, and traffic distribution is more biased towards topic squares and manual reposting for viral spread.

The viral video from my memory can no longer be replicated...

Liang Chao thought for a while, but couldn't find a way to quickly accumulate fans.

Suddenly, he remembered that his "best friend" seemed to be a well-known anime blogger with many fans on Weibo and Bilibili, and his eyes lit up.

"Hmm, I'll find an opportunity to talk to Little Turtle."

Liang Chao muttered to himself as he lay down to sleep. Just as he closed his eyes, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

When I opened my eyes, I saw two large, precious heads on the headboard.

"No way, are you two crazy?!" Liang Chao was startled.

"I heard everything!" Chen Zihao's lips trembled, his eyes filled with pain.

"You just said 'let's talk'! So you're in a relationship, right? Say something!!!"

Liang Dynasty: "..."

Liang Chaoren felt a bit numb and didn't know how to explain for a moment, so he turned to look at A Lang, "Ah Hao Xing is repressed and has gone mad. What about you?"

"I'm not crazy!!" Chen Zihao wailed hysterically.

Liang Chao ignored the dog's barking and, looking at Jiang Zilang's dark circles, asked in confusion, "Didn't you just eat last night? How come you're feeling so stressed already?"

Jiang Zilang's lips moved repeatedly, and after a long while, he said dejectedly, "I...I've never eaten anything this good before!"

"You're not even as handsome as me, how did you manage to confess to the counselor and also flirt with Xiao and the class monitor? And you even managed to hook up with one of them!"

As he spoke, he suddenly looked up, grabbed Liang Chao's wrist, and said hopefully.

"You have the Burning Technique, right? Tell me, and I'll let you play with my ride for two days, no... a week!! Haven't you always wanted to play with it?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Chao suddenly remembered.

Jiang Zilang does seem to actually have a car, a gift from his father for his eighteenth birthday, but it's not a four-wheeled vehicle, it's a two-wheeled one.

— Suzuki GW250, costing 3 RMB after all fees.

This guy often uses this car to take girls for a ride. He wears a leather jacket and a helmet, looking incredibly stylish.

In the past, the Liang Dynasty might have actually been interested, but now...

"No need, my Mercedes will arrive the day after tomorrow!" Liang Chao smiled faintly, refusing to be taught the Burning Technique.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zilang paused for a moment, then pointed at Liang Chao and looked at Chen Zihao.

"Jealous! Look, he's jealous! Hahaha~"

Ah-hao, caught between moments of near-shattering Daoist resolve, would not miss any opportunity to "suppress" Liang Chao.

"Chief, I believe you'll own a Mercedes someday, but talking about things decades from now is inappropriate!"

He smiled kindly, looked at Liang Chao, and spoke earnestly.

"Xiao Liang, people shouldn't be too vain, and they definitely shouldn't lie! Learn from me, be indifferent to fame and fortune, and be down-to-earth!"

Liang Dynasty: "..."

Liang Chao was completely speechless. He turned to the side, facing the wall, and stopped paying attention to these two clowns.

Seeing this, Jiang Zilang felt even more pleased and said shamelessly.

"Hahaha~ A Mercedes? Dude, if you can actually produce a Mercedes, I'll just—drink my pee upside down!!"

Upon hearing this, Ah-hao echoed his sentiment.

"That's right, drink mine, my pee is yellow!"

"Get out!!!"

Liang Chao did not utter a word in defense, but silently turned on his phone to record and handed it to Jiang Zilang's lips.

"Come on, don't be nervous! Say it again!"

Jiang Zilang: "..."

......

In the afternoon, I don't know what kind of class it was.

Liang Zhao sat in the classroom, staring at the podium, feeling somewhat dazed. It was because he had taken a long nap and his brain was malfunctioning.

He looked around and realized that he was probably the most bizarre reborn person.

Even after being reborn, he doesn't skip classes every day to start a business or chase girls, treating his studies like dirt. Instead, he actually spends the whole day attending classes diligently!

This is utterly absurd!

Thinking of this, he turned around and glanced at Jiang Zilang, who was snuggling up to the "female celebrity," and couldn't help but show a look of envy.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will be difficult for him to fail a course this semester, but Ah Lang has a good chance.

If Liang Chao remembers correctly, this guy failed almost all of his major subjects in his first year of university, except for Ideological and Moral Cultivation, English, Computer Science, and Physical Education. He even failed Advanced Mathematics and Basic Chemistry!

We're both materials science students, paying the same tuition, but he has several more large lectures every week than I do—he's way ahead of me!

It's one thing to take advantage of the school, but this guy actually abandoned his brothers during class and went off to have fun with girls, without considering whether his brothers could stand it!

It's like a birth!

"Liang Chao~ I downloaded 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' last night. I heard it's really good. Do you want to watch it?" Xiao Jiayu leaned closer to Liang Chao, sneaking around like a thief.

In an instant, the scent of shampoo filled the boy's nostrils, mixed with a unique girlish fragrance that was pleasing to the eye.

Liang Chao silently scanned his lungs, then subconsciously turned around and looked towards the corner of the back row.

Then he saw Chen Zihao, who was whispering with Xia Yu, suddenly look up, stare at him, and silently utter a few words.

[Damn it, he's born!!]

Liang Chao understood immediately and nodded in agreement.

Ah Lang's birth was indeed true, there's no denying it!

He looked away, glanced at the class monitor on his right, and then at the little turtle on his left.

Then, he sat up straight, his face stern, nodded, and said in a low voice.

"I grant your permission!"

Seeing this, the little girl couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She couldn't be bothered with the lunatic. After glancing around warily, she took out her phone, placed it flat on Liang Chao's table, and, using the back of the seat in front of her as cover, pressed the video play button.

It's the first episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1, a spin-off series from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Liang Chao had heard of the show but had never seen it, so he was somewhat looking forward to it. However, as he watched, he frowned.

"No, there's no sound at all. What's the point of watching this? Where are my headphones? Give me my headphones!"

"There are only two Bluetooth earbuds, can't you just make do with these?"

The young girl frowned, thinking this person was difficult to please.

"Yes, there are two Bluetooth earphones. You only need one; give me the other one!"

"But I only have one."

"One? Then the other one..."

Seeing the little girl puffing up in anger, Liang Chao subconsciously turned his head to look at his right side.

On an early autumn afternoon, the sunlight, like a warm yellow veil, slanted across the class monitor's cheeks, neck, and earlobes, making the soft downy hairs shimmer and sparkle in the filter of light.

Liang Chao was lost in thought when he saw the squad leader tuck a stray strand of hair behind his ear, revealing a white earphone.

Oh, here it is!

Liang Chao was at a loss for what to do and was about to swallow his anger when he saw the class monitor turn around. He blinked in confusion, thought for a while, then took off his earphones and handed them over.

The girl's eyes were clear, like a calm lake.

Seeing this, Liang Chao immediately became awkward, thinking to himself, "How embarrassing!" Hehe~

"Ha~ Well, actually it doesn't matter whether I have headphones or not, I'm not really..." Liang Chao reached out to take it, speaking politely as usual.

"oh."

Li Zhiya seemed to take it seriously, and said "Oh," as the earphones reappeared in her ears.

"..."

Tony Leung's hand froze in mid-air, his smile instantly gone.

"Haha, um... this... American TV shows are pretty good, huh?! Hey, Little Turtle, can I borrow your notes to copy something?"

Liang Chao quickly withdrew his hand, swaying his body back and forth while writing and drawing with a pen, pretending to listen attentively to the lesson.

Looking up, I realized the teacher was playing a video – the "Touching China 2012 Person of the Year Awards Ceremony".

Involuntarily, he felt even more embarrassed.

Lee Ji-ah lowered her eyes to watch the American drama, the corners of her mouth curving slightly, but when the boy looked at her, she seemed to no longer be smiling.

"Hmm?" The girl raised her eyes coolly, looking at Liang Chao with some confusion.

"..."

"N-nothing!" Liang Chao smiled awkwardly, looked away, but a question arose in his mind.

He always felt that the class monitor was...not quite the same as the one he remembered?

After a brief awkward silence, the three of them returned their attention to the American TV series, exchanging a few words occasionally, but none of them mentioned what had just happened.

The atmosphere strangely became harmonious.

The Liang Dynasty was not surprised by this.

When he was first reborn, he didn't remember his past, which is why he seemed somewhat distant from them.

But in reality, because of Xiao Jiayu, he actually had a pretty good relationship with the girl in the class monitor's dormitory.

During his freshman year, he was either sitting with his roommates or hanging out with them in class. He would even occasionally make a guest appearance at their dorm's group meals.

Later, the class monitor changed his major, and he started dating the senior, so their relationship faded away.

So, in college, dating is never just a matter between one or two people!

Every beginning and end of a romantic relationship represents a severing and separation of interpersonal relationships.

Yes, so does being rejected after confessing your feelings.

"Ya Ya, are you serious? You're not going to the 'College Student Career Planning' class tonight?"

Liang Chao was feeling melancholy when a joyful voice suddenly rang in his ears.

It was Tang Xue, an unofficial member of the trio.

She seemed to be chatting with someone on QQ when she happened to see the notification in the class group chat, and couldn't help but ask the class monitor to confirm.

Upon hearing this, Liang Chao calmly took out his phone and indeed saw that Li Zhiya had forwarded a notice to the class group.

He was secretly delighted and was about to turn off the screen when Li Zhiya glanced at him.

Then... another message was forwarded to the group.

"In accordance with the relevant deployment requirements of the higher education authorities on strengthening the mental health education of college students, and in light of the actual teaching arrangements of our college, the Academic Affairs Office of the college has decided to temporarily adjust the course originally scheduled for 'Mental Health Education for College Students' to a special course on 'Mental Health Education for College Students'."

Address: Room B102, Building B, Basic Teaching Building

Time: 19:00—22:00

参课班级：生物工程1班、2班；材料科学1班、2班；新能源材料与器件 1班；金属材料工程 1班、2班，共279人。

Instructor: Yang Shuxi

Upon seeing the message in the class group chat, Liang Chao felt inexplicably flustered. He looked at Li Zhiya and tried to make conversation.

"Huh? It's been changed... to 'College Students' Mental Health Education' now?"

Li Zhiya lowered her eyes and ignored it, staring at the American drama on the screen. After a long while, she finally hummed in agreement.

"Um."
