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

"Nana, my classmate."

"Rejected." Shen Xi said without hesitation.

"She is the perfect candidate."

"I said I would reject it."

“Teacher Shen, Nana is a professional player. Even if we wanted to ask her, she might not agree. If she joins, the band’s strength will increase dramatically, and we will have a better chance of achieving your goal of a 100,000-person online concert,” Cheng Fei said sincerely.

Shen Xi fell silent.

Cheng Fei patiently persuaded, "This is all for our great cause. Compared to that, what is a little misunderstanding, right, Teacher Shen? As long as you agree, I will take care of persuading her. You don't need to worry about anything."

"You and she seem to have a very good relationship?" Shen Xi narrowed her eyes.

Cheng Fei coughed lightly, "It's alright, it's just that I asked her to be my piano teacher before."

The girl scoffed dismissively, "Why didn't you come to me?"

"Have you forgotten that you were busy stargazing earlier?"

Shen Xi fell silent again.

"So this one's approved?" Cheng Fei asked tentatively.

“I want to make it clear beforehand that your bringing her here does not mean that I have reconciled with her, nor do I accept her rejoining the organization.”

"You still have to accept the offer to join the department, Teacher Shen. The Cultural Festival rules prohibit hiring outside help."

"Tsk, fine, I'll just kick her out after it's all done."

"Teacher Shen, please don't do this. At least give me some face." Cheng Fei clasped his hands together.

"You care about her a lot?"

"No, but you can't put me in an unjust position."

The girl bit her lip and turned her head away without saying a word.

“Then we just need to find another drummer.” Cheng Fei moved on to the next point. “I really have no idea about this. Ms. Shen, could you use your connections? With your status as the eldest daughter of the Shen family, this should be a piece of cake.”

Shen Xi pursed her lips and said, "I'll take care of the drummer position. You just need to handle that person. Everyone come over tomorrow afternoon."

"Great job, as expected of you, Teacher Shen," Cheng Fei exclaimed. "So, is that the end of today?"

"Let's end it here." The girl nodded.

Cheng Fei got up, packed his study materials into his bag, and walked towards the door.

Shen Xi closed the window first, then picked up her bag and went out, before taking out her keys to lock the door.

Cheng Fei waited for her to come downstairs together, and the two walked side by side toward the school gate.

A cool autumn breeze swept by, but the setting sun on the horizon was exceptionally brilliant, casting a warm glow over the sky.

"Teacher Shen, are you going back to Guang'an Street today? Or are you going to the Shen family's private estate?" Cheng Fei asked, idly looking at the sky with his hands behind his head.

Shen Xi glanced at him. "Go back to Guang'an Street."

"Taking your private bus?"

"Regular bus".

"Oh, how about we go home together then?"

"I'll barely satisfy you."

Cheng Fei looked at the expressionless girl walking forward and said, "Teacher Shen, I have a question."

"what?"

"We live so close by, yet we haven't run into each other in two months on our way to and from school. Is that reasonable?"

"I've encountered that before."

"How come I didn't notice?"

"Because I felt uncomfortable the moment I saw you, I always avoided you."

"Hiding and spying on me?"

"You're dreaming."

"I see, like a small animal, so cute."

"Your filthy fantasies are truly disgusting."

……

55. Methods for accumulating points

After breaking up with Shen Xi at the intersection, Cheng Fei sent a message to Nagasaki Asuna via WeChat.

"Nana, if you're free to go online tonight, there's something I'd like to talk to you about."

Not long after, a response came from the other end.

"Okay~"

She always replies with the feeling that she would never refuse no matter how unreasonable the request is. A tea ceremony teacher truly lives up to her name.

While sighing, Cheng Fei threw himself into his intense study and training.

After warming up thoroughly, stand by the table and do single-arm dumbbell rows to work your upper back and posterior deltoids while writing science problems. Do four sets of fifteen repetitions with your left hand, then switch to your right hand and continue writing with your free left hand.

After finishing the single-arm dumbbell row, I studied and rested at the same time. Then I started doing combination curls, again with one arm so as not to interfere with my studies. The purpose was to train my biceps and brachialis.

Cheng Fei currently trains his upper body with dumbbells every two days, a scientifically designed workout rhythm that is both efficient and safe.

Hopefully, in a crucial moment in the future, she can easily choke Lin Xuanqi and turn her into a human shield to block bullets, making her struggle desperately but unable to utter a sound, only to be drained of her value and die with her eyes rolled back in resentment.

After dinner, I did squats while memorizing the CET-4 vocabulary list. I used a wide-grip squat to maximize the stimulation of the deep muscles in my glutes and thighs.

Finally, I worked out my core, endurance, and balance on the yoga mat, while also listening to a history lecture to improve my language skills and broaden my horizons.

It continued until 10 p.m. I went out for a half-hour jog, came back to take a nice hot shower, drank a glass of milk to replenish my energy, and then lay in bed and put on my infiltration helmet...

When Cheng Fei logged on, Nagasaki Asuna was already online, and he immediately asked the girl to meet him.

In a corner of the small square, a girl with long pink pigtails that reached her ankles stood in front of the never-ending fountain, hands behind her back, tiptoeing and waiting.

Upon seeing her back, Cheng Fei's mind immediately filled with images.

[Time-limited task triggered]

Warmth in the Snow

[Requirement: Go to the fifth floor with Nana and light a campfire to keep warm.]

[Difficulty: Hard → Difficulty Adjustment: Normal]

[Reward → 5,000 points, Item: Unlimited Lighters (worth 500 points)]

Go on a date with a girl to a deserted place; a warm campfire in the snow will connect your hearts.

Putting aside the fact that the system had become smarter, Cheng Fei realized that the triggering of time-limited tasks seemed to follow a pattern.

First, most of them are triggered online.

Second, most of them are related to Nagasaki Asuna.

Cheng Fei began to consider the feasibility of farming points around her. The points from a single task might not be much, but every little bit counts, and accumulating them might not be less than the points from signing in.

"What are you thinking about, Cheng Fei?" The girl leaned forward, her gentle smile drawing his attention back to reality.

Asuna Nagasaki is indeed a ninja; she can not only quickly detect the appearance of enemies, but also get close to them without anyone noticing.

"Nana, my classmate."

"Ok?"

“I’d like to play in the corridor with you more often in the future, what do you think?” Cheng Fei gazed into her eyes and saw his earnest reflection in them.

"Huh?" The girl seemed a little surprised and asked in a cute voice, "Why all of a sudden?"

"I want to thank you for teaching me piano, but it's not very convenient to meet in person," Cheng Fei said earnestly.

Nagasaki Asuna paused for a moment, then lowered her head, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Can I take that Cheng Fei wants to meet me?"

"That's a valid way to put it, provided you have the time."

"Of course I do," the girl replied quickly.

She pursed her lips, her bright eyes darting around, and suddenly stood on tiptoe, whispering, "If Cheng Fei wants, I not only have time in the game, but also in real life..."

"It's enough in the game, Nana," Cheng Fei interrupted her casually. "Call me anytime during your break."

The girl tilted her head, blinked, and gave a teasing smile. "You're not going to charge me, are you?"

"Don't worry, I won't charge you a penny. To show my sincerity, I'll show you my top-notch service today."

"what is that?"

"Smuggling."

"Smuggling?"

"Just follow me, we'll talk as we walk."

Watching the boy's departing figure, Nagasaki Asuna first frowned in confusion, then smiled with relief, hid her hands behind her back, and followed him with light steps.

"Okay~" she replied in a submissive and soft voice.

……

With only the mission in mind, Cheng Fei led Nagasaki Asuna straight to the fifth floor, explaining the situation to her along the way.

"You can think of it as games and reality becoming very similar now."

"It's amazing, the interface has completely disappeared, and my senses have become very clear."

"Your pain receptors will also be fully activated, so be prepared."

"What about touch?"

"Also, all open."

"What about the warning about inappropriate game content?"

"What hint?"

"It's that green box that pops up when you have intimate contact."

"That one's gone too—wait, it's dangerous here, don't bring it up!"

"Sorry, sorry, I just wanted to test it out."

"Be careful, you'll lose your equipment if you die."

"Okay, don't worry, I won't do anything reckless. By the way, if the green box doesn't pop up, does that mean I won't be forced offline no matter what I do?"

"Probably, I haven't tried it myself."

"It feels like I've entered H mode..."

"What did you say?"

"Huh? He didn't say anything."

It was easy for Cheng Fei to bring only one person. They chatted casually along the way. Although they almost had an accident due to the girl's sudden actions, they arrived at the fifth floor without any major incidents.

"Cheng Fei, doesn't this place seem dangerous?"

Arriving in this snowy wonderland for the first time, Nagasaki Asuna curiously reached out to catch the falling snowflakes.

“Extremely dangerous, especially for you.” Cheng Fei remained vigilant about his surroundings. “But don’t worry, I didn’t bring you here to take risks.”

"Then what did Cheng Fei bring me here for?" The girl was very close to Cheng Fei, almost touching him.

"Just think of it as enjoying the scenery."

Cheng Fei led her through the snow to a sheltered corner on the edge of the continent, not far from where Shen Xi had observed the stars.
