Chapter 59: Meow-chan, Super Evolution!

Chapter 59: Meow-chan, Super Evolution!

“Just as I thought! The song Bai Yi sang today was super beautiful, right?!”

In Jinghe District, beneath the quiet night sky, the student council members exited a rather stylish Western restaurant.

As soon as they stepped out, You Anli Na began circling around with shining eyes.

She and Ai Xili had already changed out of their cosplay outfits and removed their makeup.

However, compared to Ai Xili, who looked drained of energy, You Anli Na appeared to be bursting with excitement.

She held her phone, where a short video app was still playing recordings of Bai Yi’s live singing.

As they walked, she suddenly touched her chin, turning her head with a puzzled expression,

“By the way, who exactly is that Fan A Bai Yi mentioned?”

Behind them, Ya Qiao Mu, carrying his backpack, finally seemed to warm up a bit after having dinner.

Yan Huan blinked but didn’t reply.

Sakura Kyoko glanced at Yan Huan and smiled slightly, curiously asking back,

“Yeah, who could it be?”

“…”

And then Ai Xili—

Ai Xili swiftly delivered a chop to You Anli Na’s head, extinguishing the blazing gossip fire in her eyes.

“Ouch~ Ai Xili!”

Afterward, Ai Xili grabbed You Anli Na by the collar and, holding the bag containing their cosplay outfits, turned back to Yan Huan and the others,

“Well, who cares about Fan A or Fan B? I’ve ordered a ride, so I’ll be leaving with You Anli Na first.”

Ai Xili and You Anli Na both lived in the North Sea District.

Sakura Kyoko smiled slightly and said,

“My house is nearby, so I can walk back easily. The president will probably return to the South District with Ya Qiao Mu, right?”

Ya Qiao Mu nodded blankly and turned to leave.

However, Yan Huan grasped his shoulder, halting him in place.

Staring cluelessly at Yan Huan, he saw him smile slightly and say,

“Let’s walk Sakura home, then we can head back together. Even if it’s nearby, it’ll still take about ten minutes.”

Ya Qiao Mu, who looked like he had lost his soul, nodded, appearing as if “whatever Yan Huan says, I’ll do.”

Sakura Kyoko looked at Yan Huan, blinked, and smiled while covering her mouth,

“Then I’ll leave it to you guys.”

Not long after, the ride Ai Xili and You Anli Na had called arrived.

“President, Sakura, Ya Qiao Mu, see you tomorrow!”

“Goodbye.”

After sending off You Anli Na and Ai Xili, the remaining three members of the student council continued along the quiet path in Jinghe District.

Sakura Kyoko held her umbrella backward, letting the night breeze brush against her cheeks.

Ya Qiao Mu was fiddling with his phone when he seemed to stumble upon some news and said,

“Ah, the whole internet is looking for Fan A, it’s trending!”

Sakura Kyoko and Yan Huan turned to look at him, seeing him quickly slide his fingers across the screen a few times, then continue,

“However, many people are starting to suspect that ‘Fan A’ actually doesn’t exist at all, it’s just a marketing ploy. After all, Bai Yi has participated in so many variety shows and never mentioned it, but suddenly it comes up today…”

“…That’s true.”

Yan Huan nodded in agreement.

Sakura Kyoko remained silent, playing the role of the elegant lady.

But as they walked, Ya Qiao Mu seemed to come across some new content and said,

“What’s this… there’s a backstage insider claiming they have seen the true face of so-called ‘Fan A’. They saw him entering and exiting Bai Yi’s dressing room. However, no photos were taken backstage because it was prohibited.

“She said he was a boy wearing a plaid shirt and cargo pants.”

As he read, Ya Qiao Mu blinked and looked at Yan Huan with widened eyes.

Upon sizing him up, and after reading the outfit description again, his expression slightly changed,

“No way! President, your outfit is exactly what she described?!”

Yan Huan turned with a helpless look, glancing at his attire and saying,

“There are plenty of guys who wear clothes like this, I just bought this on sale; everyone dresses like this.”

“Ah, that makes sense. I have a similar outfit.”

Ya Qiao Mu nodded in agreement, thoroughly convinced.

He clicked his tongue, staring at his phone and saying,

“Everyone is saying that Fan A is Bai Yi’s boyfriend, who has never been publicly acknowledged. If it were you, President, I’d say it’s quite possible.”

Yan Huan didn’t speak, but Sakura Kyoko turned her head and asked coldly,

“Why do you say that?”

Ya Qiao Mu grinned, and since Sakura Kyoko dared to ask, he was equally daring to answer,

“Here’s the thing, Vice President. Look, Bai Yi is good-looking, but the president is clearly more impressive. You were almost a child star before, and during the student council election, you had the rich girls in school swooning over you. Comparatively, Bai Yi doesn’t have as many male fans in school.”

Sakura Kyoko only smiled and replied,

“Maybe it’s because there are many more girls than boys in school.”

“Eh, that’s not right, Vice President~”

Ya Qiao Mu seemed fully revived, having overcome the pain inflicted by Shijiao Ai thanks to Yan Huan’s conversation today,

“This kind of thing should take both sides into account, right? It’s unreasonable to think only about the president.

“With Bai Yi, although we don’t see much of her, she leaves a pretty good impression—sincere and friendly.”

Sincere.

Sakura Kyoko smiled, yet inside, it felt as if someone stabbed her with a knife.

Ya Qiao Mu, completely oblivious, continued,

“In terms of height, she and the president are about the same, and today’s performance on stage clearly showed that she works out often, looking very healthy and full of energy.”

Height, physique, energy.

“Chop chop chop!”

Another three cuts.

“The key point is, there are so many rich girls in school. It’s tough to be part of the wealthy elite; the president won’t lower himself to marry into a rich family. Whereas Bai Yi’s side is much more normal. Besides, Bai Yi’s mom often asked about the president, so she probably likes him a lot.”

Family background.

A trace of blood seemed ready to spill from the corners of Sakura Kyoko’s mouth.

Ya Qiao Mu, pleased with his logical deductions, turned to look at Sakura Kyoko, only to see her smile grow increasingly terrifying.

Her forehead was throbbing as if she were a demon, softly asking,

“Is that so?”

Eh?

Why did her smile look so similar to Teacher Shijiao Ai’s from this morning?

Yikes!!

Seeing Sakura Kyoko’s expression, Ya Qiao Mu’s face turned pale in an instant as if he was under duress.

He scrambled back behind Yan Huan, only to find himself gently poked in the back.

Yan Huan turned back, looking at Ya Qiao Mu helplessly and said,

“Stop playing so many gal games in a day; it’s ruining your mind, thinking about things like that.”

“I’m sorry, President.”

He originally meant to say this to Sakura Kyoko, but now he couldn’t even dare to look at her, frightened to see that familiar terrifying smile and drop dead on the spot.

As they talked, Yan Huan and the others arrived in front of a large mansion surrounded by a wall.

There were several security guards standing at the entrance, and Ya Qiao Mu didn’t dare approach, so Yan Huan accompanied Sakura Kyoko for the final stretch.

“No matter how many times I see it, your home really is impressive, Sakura.”

Yan Huan looked up at the enormous mansion hidden in the shadows beyond the lawn, suddenly smiled slightly, filled with emotion as he said.

Sakura Kyoko, upon hearing this, paused slightly, as if recalling what Ya Qiao Mu had just said.

Bai Yi and the president…

That glamorous girl on stage may indeed match better with the president, just as Ya Qiao Mu claimed.

What he said was indeed true; she just didn’t want to hear it.

With this thought, Sakura Kyoko’s eyes inevitably dimmed for a moment.

After preparing so much today, absolutely nothing progressed.

She knew that the friend the president was meeting was very likely Bai Yi, and that Fan A, too…

Now Sakura Kyoko could only comfort herself by recalling Yan Huan’s usual expression when he said, “stop thinking about that kind of stuff.”

The president didn’t have those kinds of feelings for Bai Yi.

At least, not now.

“If her future partner’s family background is very good, would that make the president feel pressured?”

Yet even such comfort was unbearable for her, so she casually asked with feigned curiosity.

“Well, that’s likely.”

Sakura Kyoko’s pupils shrank slightly, but Yan Huan just quietly pulled his gaze away from the grand mansion and said,

“After all, if the strengths and statuses don’t match, no matter how much you’re together, there will still be more difficulties to face in the future.”

“I see.”

Sakura Kyoko nodded, biting her lip, about to say goodbye to Yan Huan and return home.

But next to her, Yan Huan suddenly continued,

“So, if it’s true love, you must work harder and strive to reach an equal standing with the other person.

“Being true to yourself and her, that’s what really matters.”

Sakura Kyoko’s movements froze slightly at the thought of leaving. Her pupils narrowed, and she turned back to look at Yan Huan.

It seemed she wanted to say something, but her throat felt dry like a desert.

She appeared to want to say,

“I will wait for you, President.”

But as she struggled to speak, a female voice suddenly exclaimed from behind,

“Miss, you’re back.”

“Eh?!”

Sakura Kyoko turned around to see Nairu, dressed in a suit, walking out from behind the fence,

“Thank you, Yan Huan, for bringing Miss back home.”

Yan Huan had seen Nairu when he visited Sakura Kyoko’s house before, but she hadn’t been in formal attire then, so she looked a bit unfamiliar.

“It’s no trouble, just doing what I should.”

“Would you like to come inside for a bit? The young lady would welcome you.”

Yan Huan looked at Nairu, then at Sakura Kyoko, who was silently gripping her skirt hem.

Then he smiled and shook his head, saying,

“Maybe next time, when I have the chance.”

“Alright! Or you can invite the young lady over to your place.”

“Nairu!!”

Before Nairu could finish her sentence, Sakura Kyoko, with a dark expression, tried to push her back into the enclosure.

But in truth, with Sakura Kyoko’s strength, she couldn’t move Nairu at all. She merely cast a glance at her young lady’s flushed face and could only helplessly pretend to be slightly pushed back into the estate.

“See you next time, Yan Huan!”

As they pushed away, she winked at Yan Huan meaningfully.

“…”

Watching Sakura Kyoko and Nairu disappear at the estate’s entrance, Yan Huan smiled wryly, just about to turn and leave when he heard Sakura Kyoko’s voice again,

“President.”

Turning back to the estate entrance, Sakura Kyoko leaned halfway out.

She smiled slightly, extending a piece of comic paper to Yan Huan.

Yan Huan glanced at it and saw it was a comic depiction of all the student council members.

It was drawn by the artist Miyazaki Hu Hu they had encountered today.

“Thanks, I almost forgot about this.”

“I knew you would.”

Sakura Kyoko smiled behind her hand and then said,

“Thank you for bringing me back, see you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow, Sakura.”

Sakura Kyoko nodded and returned to the estate.

As the mansion door closed, indistinct voices of conversation could be heard from inside.

Yan Huan, grasping the comic paper, turned to leave and returned to Ya Qiao Mu, who was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, and said,

“Shall we take the subway back to South District?”

“President…”

“What’s wrong now?”

“I suspect that the reason Teacher Shijiao scolded me earlier was that I was possessed by some kind of ghost targeting me. Just now, Vice President Sakura had the same expression; could it be that ghost is still nearby?”

“…”

Approaching midnight in a public housing unit in the South District.

After showering and drying his hair, Yan Huan, feeling quite exhausted, sprawled across his bed and stretched out his body.

He yawned and muttered,

“The sleepiness debuff from Friday is gone, yet I feel more tired than before.”

A black cat suddenly appeared on his back, curiously examining his fatigued expression.

Then the black cat stepped gently on his back with its soft paws,

“But today is already Sunday, meow! Soon, it’ll be time to unlock next week’s rewards, meow!”

“Oh, right.”

Thinking of this, Yan Huan finally perked up a bit.

He flipped over, and Meow-chan jumped weightlessly onto his belly.

Staring at the big watery eyes of Meow-chan, he suddenly asked,

“Did Bai Yi drop any fragments of the modifier at the comic convention today?”

Meow-chan shook its head, looking at Yan Huan and said,

“After she finished singing today, we looked around backstage and near the stage after finding the person in charge, but I didn’t find anything, meow.”

“Hmm, she achieved her wish of singing, yet she doesn’t seem to harbor any thoughts of misusing the modifier. Saying that, the fragment dropped at Tong Jie Tavern most likely isn’t Bai Yi’s.”

“I think so too, meow.”

“Then that means it might belong to the fifth modifier’s owner? But aside from Tong Jie and Rong Jie, did any other women connected to me go to that terrible place?”

“Meow?”

It seemed Meow-chan had no clue either.

Yan Huan wanted to think it through more deeply, but after a busy day, he was indeed feeling tired, and his brain just wouldn’t work.

Deciding to give up, he looked at Meow-chan and said,

“Forget it. In any case, if I have this large piece of modifier fragment, it should at least level up my modifier a bit. Come on, Meow-chan, let’s take a look.”

“Meow~”

The clock beside them slowly approached midnight. At the moment the time switched to Monday, Meow-chan opened its mouth and swallowed the illusory serpent scale-shaped fragment.

“Ding ding ding~”

A series of bright pink light streams were drawn from the serpent scale and gradually transformed into dazzling gold before Meow-chan’s eyes.

Meow-chan opened its mouth wide, swallowing all that golden light, and afterward, its fur appeared to become a bit smoother and glossier.

“Gulu~”

Next, its cheeks puffed slightly, then it exhaled an illusory stream of golden light.

This stream of light gradually expanded before Yan Huan, forming many lines of ethereal text.

[Modifier Level Change: 2→3]

[Reward Pool Level changed to 3, which means you will randomly unlock more powerful rewards.]

[Modifier Evolution Count +1, Random Attribute Fragment +1]

[Based on your selected evolution path “Demon Contract,” please choose one of the two evolution paths you prefer next.]

Yan Huan rubbed his chin and asked the composed Meow-chan beside him,

“Meow-chan, didn’t you say that the piece of fragment was much larger than the one dropped by Ye Shiyu? Yet both only level up once?”

“Yan Huan, as the modifier’s level increases, the fragments needed for another evolution will also increase, meow.”

“Is that so?”

Yan Huan stopped dwelling on it and chose to open the attribute fragment first,

[Stamina Fragment—slightly increases your stamina]

[Take it easy, be obedient, meow~]

[Charm Fragment—slightly increases your attractiveness to peers]

[What awaits your handsome face is either roses or steel wool.]

[Intelligence Fragment—slightly increases your cleverness]

[When you grow old, you won’t be able to sell your health products anymore.]

Yan Huan paused for a moment and selected the third option—Intelligence Fragment.

Yet again, after making the choice, the fragment transformed into golden light that surged into Yan Huan’s body, but there was no significant feeling.

Just a slight one.

Now, it was time to choose the evolution path.

[Evolution Path One: Light and Dark Contract]

[Weekly choices change from three to: one reward from two levels lower in the reward pool and one reward from two levels higher in the reward pool. When choosing a lower-level reward, it comes with a permanent buff effect; when selecting a higher-level reward, it comes with a permanent curse effect.]

[Evolution Path Two: Demon Gamble]

[The rules for selecting rewards remain the same, but before making a choice, you must additionally roll two dice. The result of the first die roll will give 1 to 6 lasting powerful curses for a week, and the second die roll will grant an additional 1 to 6 rewards equal to your reward pool level.]

Yan Huan couldn’t help but almost bulge his eyes out at the second path.

This is just too much of a gamble!

Purely written all over with “fortune favors the bold.”

The key part is that the dice rolling is mandatory, not optional.

Moreover, powerful curses sounded like they’d be nastier than last week’s drowsiness.

Yikes.

After pondering for a moment, he ultimately turned off the betting BGM and chose the “Light and Dark Contract.”

“Vroom vroom vroom!”

As Yan Huan made his new choice, the golden light surged again, ultimately spilling out three golden orbs of varying sizes from Meow-chan.

From left to right, they increased in size, but the smallest one radiated pure white light while the largest had transformed entirely into ominous black.

[Skill: Dexterous Fingers. As the name suggests.]

[Reward Level: 1]

[Description: Next, your fingers will come in handy.]

[Buff: Your related reproductive abilities will directly double.]

Seeing the first reward that popped up, Yan Huan couldn’t hold back, pulling Meow-chan into a hug with a dark expression and saying,

“What on earth is this? Is this a buff? Don’t you think you should first explain the concept of buffs to me?”

“I already told you, meow! These are all random; it has nothing to do with me, meow!!”

Unable to do anything, Yan Huan continued looking at the remaining two rewards.

[Ability: Demon Chef. Your speed of learning any dish doubles, and your dishes will be tastier but will randomly curse the diners with a mild curse lasting three days.]

[Reward Level: 3]

[Description: I am the man destined to become the king of dark cuisine.]

“…”

Yan Huan squinted his eyes, looking at the last big orb exuding black mist.

With a slightly uneasy heart, he reached out and tapped the black orb.

In an instant, vast amounts of black mist erupted, forming the longest skill introduction he had ever seen right before Yan Huan’s eyes.

[Form: Naturalist.]

[Reward Level: 5]

[Effect 1, Exercise Beauty: Your efficiency for building your body through exercises and fitness has doubled.]

[Effect 2, Figure Beauty: With working out, you will gain a significant uplift in your physical charm.]

[Effect 3, Natural State: Depending on the proportion of your unclothed state, your physical attributes will receive a boost of 25% to 100%.]

[Description: Take off those nails!!! Take them all off!!]

[Cursed: Pain from damaged muscle fibers will be doubled.]

Staring at this level 5 reward cloaked in black mist, Yan Huan, who had originally been feeling drowsy and lethargic, suddenly straightened up, eyes wide open as he meticulously read the text above.
