Ultimate Scheming System

1513 Oh, Men!

“What?”

Xu Que looked shocked after he’d heard what Xuanyuan Wanrong had said. He clutched his chest with both hands.

“I have to like you if I want to live? What the h*ll are you talking about? F*ck, are you trying to tell me this isn’t a joke?”

“What kind of person acts like this?”

“I’m not fooling around. What I’m telling you is true. Although where we are now is only in the world of your memory, we actually live in the World of Cultivators. Unfortunately, you and I are involved in a feud there. Due to a long series of misunderstandings, our feud has gone on for a long time. The location where we are right now is where you were from before you became a cultivator. I know you don’t have any memories of our current situation in the World of Cultivators, so you must simply believe everything I say, or else we are both going to die.” Xuanyuan Wanrong began trying to explain what was going on when she suddenly noticed Xu Que’s expression.

Even though she was explaining things in line with her usual style of doing things, someone like Xu Que, who was living in modern times, found it hard to understand.

“Who could possibly really believe a pretty girl, dressed up in a period costume, who came over in broad daylight to tell you such an absurd story one day when you were on your way to college?”

“Hey, big sister, stop pulling my leg. Are you filming some kind of a comedy program where you are trying to get people’s weird reactions to make the audience laugh? I have an important matter to attend to this evening, and it has to do with the rest of my life’s happiness…” Xu Que rolled his eyes at Xuanyuan Wanrong and turned around to leave.

Knowing his character as a jokester, if it had been any other day, he would certainly have played along for a while. But he really had an important matter to attend to tonight.

He had carefully arranged a big plan. He was going to go out this evening with his roommate and confess his feelings to the campus belle, Lin Yuxi!

So, right now, Xu Que was basically not in the mood to squander his time with this beauty in a period costume.

“What was she talking about? The World of Cultivators? Who the h*ll was she trying to kid?”

“Stop, please!” Xuanyuan Wanrong immediately stopped Xu Que with a shout, and she asked him with evident annoyance, “You don’t believe me?”

“Oh, my. Hey, big sister, can you please stop acting? Would any normal person believe you? You sound like a nutcase.” Xu Que frowned as he ridiculed her. He immediately started to walk away.

Xuanyuan Wanrong raised her hand and waved. She’d subconsciously wanted to display her Magic Arts to restrain Xu Que. But when she lifted her hand, she realized she didn’t have her cultivation abilities at this time. She suddenly felt a burst of helplessness and anxiety.

“What am I going to do? This guy has no memory of his life as a cultivator, and he still doesn’t believe me. How am I going to get through these Relationship Tribulations?”

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

A car horn sounded nearby.

One of the town’s buses slowly drove over and stopped at the school gate. Many students who had been out of the city had just returned to campus on this bus.

The bus stop was right next to where Xu Que and Xuanyuan Wanrong were standing.

The passengers who got off the bus immediately glanced at Xuanyuan Wanrong, and then did double takes and just stared at her.

What drew their glances at first was the fact that Xuanyuan Wanrong was dressed in a white period costume. However, none of the people could take their eyes away when they had seen Xuanyuan Wanrong’s countenance. It was breathtaking. Even the female stars who they’d seen onscreen, who had gone through professional make-up and photoshop techniques, would have been hard-pressed to achieve as dazzling an effect as Xuanyuan Wanrong had done naturally.

“My God, are they shooting a film?”

“Who’s that female star? She’s so beautiful!”

“Wow, she’s truly at the level of the goddesses!”

“Goodness me, d*mn, Xu Que, that animal, has already made his move and struck up a conversation…” Someone shouted and ran down from the bus toward them.

This guy was followed by a few other people, each carrying bags of various sizes and rushing toward Xu Que.

“Xu Que, you animal, I thought you were about to declare your feelings to the campus belle?”

“You haven’t even started with her and now you’re hitting on a new girl?”

PAH!

“What a scumbag!”

Several of the boys gave Xu Que ultimate sh*t.

Xu Que rolled his eyes. These jerks from his dormitory were the real animals. If not for the price of the contact details that he’d had to pay to Lin Yuxi’s close dormitory friend, would he have asked these jerks to be so active in helping him buy things?

“Okay, you guys, stop making so much noise. There’s something wrong with this woman. She insists on forcing me to like her. I’ve said that I’m not a casual person, and she just doesn’t believe it.” Xu Que began to try to explain.

All his three friends from his dormitory looked dubious, while the other students who had just gotten off the bus, plus the passengers on the bus, as well as the bus driver, looked at Xu Que one by one, giving him looks of dumbfounded contempt.

With such manners and appearance, this young lady was so beautiful that people could believe that she was a fairy, and yet she had to force him to like her?

“That’s right, you only have two choices. Either you like me, or we die together.” Xuanyuan Wanrong regarded Xu Que with an ice-cold stare and spoke in a low voice.

She was very serious about it because it was the truth. If Xu Que didn’t like her, then this first round of Relationship Tribulations would be declared a failure and both of them would have to die.

However, as soon as she said these words out loud, everyone present was struck dumb. There was a vast sea of silence everywhere around them.

Xu Que’s three roommates were stunned.

The many students who’d gotten off the bus with them stood dazed and unmoving.

Even the bus driver touched the steering wheel but didn’t step on the accelerator to leave.

This was completely unexpected.

“Such a beautiful girl would actually ask to be with a college guy?”

“And she was so determined? To either be together or die together?”

“How did this happen? Could it be this young man has a silver tongue that could seduce this fairy-like young lady?”

DING! “Congratulations to the host Xu Que for successfully Acting Tough and the successful activation of the strongest Acting Tough, Face-Slapping System, in a replicated version!”

Suddenly, the System beep rang out in Xu Que’s mind.

Xu Que was completely startled. Before he had time to cry out, he had suddenly regained his bearings. The System sounded again in his mind.

DING! “The System is detecting that part of the host’s memory is sealed. In order to avoid the fragmentation of the host’s soul, I will perfectly restore the host’s memory!”

DING! “Detecting the world where the host is as Earth, the System will remold the host thoroughly and help the host become a martial arts genius with exquisite skeletal structure!”

DING! “Since the host has activated the System’s replicated version for the first time, you have successfully obtained a newbie gift package!”

…..

After a few series of System beeps, there was a rumble in Xu Que’s mind as if something had been washed away. With a flash of Spirit Light, a ton of information surged into his mind.

He remembered when he’d first crossed over to the Fire Country, the activation of the System, the period of smooth sailing that followed, the time of Acting Tough, and finally now being sucked into the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi with Xuanyuan Wanrong to traverse the Relationship Tribulations…

All his memories came flooding back.

“F*ck!” Xu Que suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked stunned.

He looked around in horror. The familiar school gate, his familiar-looking roommates, as well as Xuanyuan Wanrong, who looked completely out of place with the surroundings… He was thoroughly confused.

“What kind of situation is this? How do I get back? Have I crossed over? Or is this an Illusory Realm?”

“How about my cultivation? How is it all gone?”

“And there’s the System too. The System is also gone and has changed into a replicated version?”

“What the f*ck, Xu Que, Miss, what’s going on with you? When did you pick up this girl?” Meanwhile, his three roommates had already surrounded him and had their arms around Xu Que’s neck, wanting to interrogate him.

“I…”

Xu Que was still fairly confused. He’d had his memory restored, but he was still baffled as to how he’d gotten here.

It seemed as if he had been sucked in by the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi to go through the Relationship Tribulations. How did it happen that he’d gotten sucked into this time at his university?

Could it be that he had had to traverse the Relationship Tribulations when he was in college? Did he have to fall in love with Xuanyuan Wanrong?

“I’ll explain it to you later.” Xu Que immediately shouted at his three roommates and quickly looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong. Speaking in a deep voice, he said, “You come with me!”

With that, he immediately strode toward the school gate.

First of all, he had to clarify everything that was going on with Xuanyuan Wanrong. After all, this was all about his own life and death. He wasn’t going to be wiped out without knowing what was going on.

Xuanyuan Wanrong also stared blankly for a moment. She somehow hadn’t expected Xu Que to have been able to make such a big change. Previously, he hadn’t been happy to do anything. Why was he taking the initiative all of a sudden?

“Oh, men!”

“This…” The roommates were also struck dumb as they watched Xu Que walk away with Xuanyuan Wanrong to take care of business. They couldn’t do anything but shout, “Xu Que, are we still going through with tonight’s plan to declare your feelings?”

“Declare my feelings?”

Xu Que stopped in his tracks and suddenly remembered what his plans had been for the evening. The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but tick up. It turned out that tonight was when he’d first wanted to confess his feelings to Lin Yuxi.

Although he’d been successful at the time, the final outcome didn’t seem to have turned out very well.

“To h*ll with the confession, I’m not going to declare any feelings. Screw tonight,” Xu Que replied without turning back, and he just continued to march on.

Xuanyuan Wanrong followed behind him, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up in a sneer.

“Oh, men, they’re all pigs!”
