I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

Her expression wasn't arrogant, and her features were gentle, making her seem approachable. When she spoke, she would occasionally hide her hands behind her back, lean forward, and smile, exuding a gentle yet playful charm that was so soothing to behold.

They are more attractive than the class representative for Chinese language, and are mostly players in the corridor.

Cheng Fei decisively used the scanner.

[Lucky: 6 (Excellent)]

Online dating is possible.

His perception was extraordinary.

Cheng Fei had thought his stats were pretty good, but now he felt that the world was very unfair.

Judging from the name, he's probably an international student from an island nation, although there are indeed many international students in Academy City.

At this moment, the girl seemed to sense something, and with her hands behind her back, she turned her head as if sensing something, her gaze sweeping over Cheng Fei, revealing a hint of confusion.

As expected of someone with extraordinary perception.

Cheng Fei walked away as if nothing had happened.

Although the scanner showed that the other party was available for online dating, Cheng Fei wasn't foolish enough to immediately approach them; doing so would definitely make him seem like a strange person.

Besides, with Shen Xi already in the picture, Cheng Fei wasn't in a hurry to find a new online dating target.

Actually, Cheng Fei is a pure love fan.

If it weren't for the purely financial relationship with Shen Xi, Cheng Fei would probably have ignored the system altogether.

Cheng Fei arrived at the notice board and spent ten minutes searching through strange clubs like the Camping Club, the Journal Club, and the Cthulhu Fan Club before finally finding the recruitment notice for the Corridor Research Club.

"Room 601, Student Activity Building..."

If Cheng Fei understood correctly, room 601 must be on the sixth floor.

Cheng Fei shaded his eyes with his hand, looked at the club activity building not far away, silently counted, and asked in surprise, "Where did this sixth floor come from?"

The club activity building is clearly only five stories high, does that mean the basement counts too?

With this question in mind, Cheng Fei went to the club activity building, climbed straight to the fifth floor, and found that the door number was only "5XX".

This has become a campus ghost story.

Left with no other choice, Cheng Fei had to knock on the door of a club activity room that was occupied.

Cheng Fei suspected that it was the light music club inside, because several pretty girls were sitting around drinking tea and eating snacks.

"Excuse me, how do I get to room 601?"

"Pay one dollar first when asking for directions." A short-haired girl solemnly held out her hand.

Cheng Fei: "?"

"You're here to find that club, right? The rooftop is the place to go." Another smiling girl pointed to the ceiling, seemingly very familiar with the situation.

"Thank you." Cheng Fei turned and left.

As expected of the Light Music Club.

The rooftop door of the student activity building was unlocked, but it was surrounded by very tall wire mesh on all four sides, so there was no need to worry about students jumping off the building.

Cheng Fei went up to the rooftop and found that there really was a room there, with the door number 601.

Cheng Fei looked up at the sky. The evening sun still lingered, scorching the half-dead ivy on the wall.

This club activity room has been unbearably hot for the past month, thankfully we can leave early.

With a sliver of relief, Cheng Fei knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A cool female voice came from inside.

Cheng Fei pushed open the door.

The first thing you see is a pile of tables, chairs and cardboard boxes in the corner, making it easy to imagine that this place was a storage room not long ago.

Now an area has been cleared out of the room, and six desks have been put together and placed in the center.

Next to the desk, against the wall, stood two movable blackboards, with many paragraphs of text and formulas connected by arrows, and also covered with a lot of photos and printed paper.

It's unclear what they're plotting; it's like a scientist's draft or a bank robber's crime plan.

The south-facing window of the room was wide open, and a half-person-high, unfinished telescope was mounted on it.

A young girl sat upright in a steel tube chair, seemingly assembling a telescope.

The girl had long, smooth, ink-black hair with a satin-like sheen. When she turned her head, her eyes were also as deep as ink, exuding a sense of purity. Her features were beautiful and delicate, but unfortunately, her face was expressionless.

Even though the room was hot, her shirt bow tie was still tied meticulously, a stark contrast to Cheng Fei, who had already unbuttoned two buttons.

Her slender, long legs, visible beneath her skirt, were dazzlingly white, caressed by the dappled sunlight streaming in from the window.

"The Corridor Research Department?" Cheng Fei asked.

"Yes."

While asking the questions, Cheng Fei considered whether or not to use a scanner.

Although the girl's chest was a bit lacking, her appearance was stunning, even surpassing that of the previous Japanese exchange student. Her legs were also top-tier, the kind that would definitely be praised as "legs to admire for years" if they were photographed online.

Cheng Fei estimated that she would have at least 8 points of charm. As long as her other attributes were not bad, plus her player status, he knew the result without scanning, so there was no need to waste the last scanner.

"If there's nothing else, please leave." The girl seemed displeased as Cheng Fei looked her up and down, and raised her chin as she spoke.

"Something's up." Cheng Fei looked away. "I'd like to apply to join the department."

The girl remained unmoved, turning back to assemble the telescope. She sighed, seemingly helpless, "Student, if you came here just because of rumors about me, you can leave now. Humans who think with their lower bodies are not welcome here."

"I'm not."

"You're not human?"

"At least tell us the entry requirements? Or are you saying you're no longer hiring here?"

"Since you asked," the girl finally raised her head, crossing her arms in front of her flat chest, "three requests."

4. Cheng Fei's vision went black.

“First, they haven’t joined any guilds in the game, or they’re willing to leave their original guilds and join mine,” the unknown girl said.

Cheng Fei nodded, "No problem."

“That’s true, almost no one would be unwilling to do that.” The girl put her hand to her forehead, as if she felt that she had asked a pointless question.

"Second, have participated in the server-wide first kill of any BOSS."

"May I ask if you were involved?"

"I'm the one asking you."

"Okay, it happened twice."

Seeing Cheng Fei's relaxed expression, the girl gave him a deep look. "It's not enough to just say it and forget about it. I will check the records."

Cheng Fei shrugged.

"Third, ranking in the top ten or top fifty in the most recent monthly exam can be considered on a case-by-case basis."

For reference, there are nearly a thousand students in the first year of high school at Yinghua.

"That's really true..."

"If you can't reach that level, then leave. I've already said I don't welcome humans who think with their lower bodies."

"It's one thing to be good at games, but you also have to have excellent grades. Can I ask why?"

"You forgot the club's name as soon as you walked in? Your memory is like a fish's."

"I haven't forgotten, but I still don't understand why games require scores. Also, the idea that fish only have a seven-second memory is a rumor."

"Play? Watch your wording, it's research. If you want to play, go to the game department. Also, I know that fish have a memory that lasts more than seven seconds, but there's another part of you that's very fish-like."

Which part?

"Eye."

Are you calling me dead fish eyes?

"You said it yourself."

"Tsk, can we get to the point?"

The girl rubbed her temples. "I've satisfied your request. The answer is obvious: research requires intelligent people, not a bunch of rabble. Results are the simplest proof, understand?"

"Only those in the top 50 of the grade can join. Is it really necessary to take a game so seriously?"

"Note that the first fifty are only considered on a case-by-case basis."

"Okay, I was second in the grade in the last monthly exam."

After Cheng Fei finished speaking, he thought that at least a hint of surprise would appear on the girl's arrogant face, but to his surprise, she instead revealed a mocking sneer, "Second place? That's alright, you can barely be considered intelligent. Congratulations on meeting the requirements for joining the club."

Cheng Fei was a little annoyed.

Although he is always humble, he has met the other party's demanding requirements in both games and studies, so it is understandable that he is not convinced by such praise.

"Second in the grade is alright, but are you perhaps first in the grade?"

"As expected of second in the grade." The girl clearly noticed Cheng Fei's dissatisfaction. She lightly touched her cheek with one hand, revealing a condescending and indifferent expression, and said in a deliberate and stern tone, "You guessed right, that's impressive."

"?!"

Cheng Fei couldn't accept it, so he simply used a scanner on her.

[Check-in duration → 30 days]

Cheng Fei's vision went black.

I never expected that she was Shen Xi.

Even more unexpectedly, there was a chosen one who possessed two extraordinary attributes.

Damn it, this world is so unfair!

"You still need to fill out the application." The girl, of course, couldn't hear Cheng Fei's desperate cry in his heart. She pulled out a printed sheet of paper from the table. "Write your game ID in the self-introduction section."

"Okay." Cheng Fei slumped down, pulled up a steel pipe chair, sat down at the table, and began filling out the application.
