Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards Chapter 40 – Chapter 40: Chapter 40 A Bright Future and a Straight Path

Chapter 40: Chapter 40 A Bright Future and a Straight Path

“Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!”

Exclamations burst forth one after another, but since Chen Nuanhan and company hadn't gone far, the idiots intentionally suppressed their volume.

But that didn't stop them from expressing their admiration and submission to Dad Huai.

“Dad, teach me!”

Zhang Renhui was the most shameless, sliding to his knees and clinging to Su Huai's thigh like a natural-born jester.

The rest of the normal folks, led by the elder and younger Gao, were also up to no good.

“Damn! She's so pretty! If she were mine, I could lick her to death. Huai, you actually don't fancy her?”

“I thought Big Gao was just bragging, but now I realize I underestimated your awesomeness, master!”

“But seriously, why?”

“Who cares why? Huai, since you don't like her, this brother will shamelessly take her off your hands!”

“Scram! Keep eyeing my girlfriend, and I'll knock your yolks out!”

All along the way to the cafeteria, Su Huai's ears never caught a break.

When freshmen boys get rowdy, not even gods can stop them.

The key issue is you can't even tell who's genuinely interested and who's just in it for a laugh. Take them seriously, and you waste your feelings; don't take them seriously, and they keep on asking nonstop.

So, Su Huai used a single sentence to silence them completely.

“Adding WeChat, 500! Asking out for a meal, 1000! If you're truly interested, let's see your earnest money. I'll definitely do my best. Come on, whether or not I can strike it rich is up to you guys!”

“Damn!”

“Can't afford to chase, can't afford…”

“Absolutely can't let the profiteer make a killing!”

A group of boys simultaneously flipped the bird, vented for a bit, and finally shut up.

Truly daring to covet a great beauty like Chen Nuanhan was a minority after all. When most of the fun-seekers had given up, the remaining few didn't dare to continue their advances openly and had to wait patiently for an opportunity.

So you see, most boys actually know their limits, aware of what level of girl they're matched to.

When emotions rise, they make a fuss together; when they subside, they go back to their own business.

As for Su Huai from his past life… No, actually, Su Huai didn't overestimate himself; he just couldn't withstand Chen Nuanhan's whims of being clingy one moment and distant the next.

It's easy for boys who are far removed from girls to stay level-headed, but once a beauty of that level actively gives you a chance to get carried away, it's hard for anyone to break free.

It's not my fault!

Su Huai defended his past self once more before continuing to watch the idiots talk nonsense.

Chen Nuanhan's appearance did have its benefits. Obviously, Su Huai's prestige among the boys skyrocketed. Everyone gathered around him, making him their center.

People like to hang out with the impressive ones. It's not so much about utility but rather a natural banding together and conforming behavior.

Gustave Le Bon declared in “The Crowd,” “The hero that the crowd adores will forever be like a Caesar.”

Those who are high-ranking, powerful, and stable are natural nuclei. The individual may be uncomfortable and touch the sensitive, fragile nerves of some, but in a group setting, he's the best leader.

Now it was such a group setting, and to the boys, Su Huai seemed incredibly awesome.

Thanks to Big Gao's embellishments, the current version 1.0 of the rumor was that the great beauty was interested in Huai, but Huai's standards were too high to pay her much mind.

Of course, no one believed it at first, but now, doesn't everything match up perfectly?

The beauty herself approached Huai, and with just a few words, he sent her on her way. Sigh!

Moreover, the abilities and composure Su Huai himself displayed were indeed exceptional, which adequately filled in the most illogical parts of the rumors, lending them a strong credibility.

So much so that when they parted ways, they still marveled endlessly.

For instance, certain utterly misguided beliefs—

“Turns out beauties really don't care about a man's looks. Just look at our Huai!”

“Exactly! Men need to be reserved, stable, and cool. That's what girls like these days…”

“Got it, got it! I'm all poised now!”

Su Huai found it both sad and funny.

That's what it is, young boys who've yet to be tempered by life are full of fantasies, as if slight proactivity means she likes you, or a sweet smile means you're irreplaceable.

Su Huai was different; he saw clearly that the favorability rating hadn't even crossed 40. How could he overthink it?

Despite seeming unremarkable, Mr. Tongzi had actually come in quite handy.

If only the feedback on changes in favorability were a bit more prompt, Su Huai could guarantee that within three months, he could max out Pulling skill.

…

Nothing newsworthy happened at lunch.

The only thing worth mentioning was that a few girls serving as dorm leaders gathered around to gossip and interrogated Su Huai about Chen Nuanhan.

Then, within a couple of sentences, Gou Huai managed to scare them off.

“I'm warning you, our class's male-to-female ratio is pretty high in this school. If you still can't find a boyfriend, just resign yourselves to being single for the entire four years of college!”

“Just look at the senior girls from the School of Management… How can you tell? There's one right over there.”

“Right, that disheveled, sloppy one!”

“Why?”

“Because they've given up, lost hope, they no longer consider themselves women!”

“Whether I try hard or not, finding a boyfriend is a bust; what's wrong with being free and easy?”

“Stop laughing!”

“If you don't make an effort, that will be your future. Our school has a long tradition in this regard…”

The girls, with literal black lines on their foreheads and grinding their teeth, turned and walked away, while the boys laughed so hard their heads nearly fell off, chuckling and staggering all over the place.

Then Gou Huai, with his slow and methodical words, made them collapse in an instant.

“What are you laughing at? After graduation, it will be your turn to cry. They might be single for just four or five years, but once they hit society, they will instantly become hot commodities; you'd have to queue just to spend money on them. And you guys? For the next decade or so, you'll probably only be able to rely on your hands…”

Fuck!

Our class leader is a dog, isn't he?!!!

…

After a pleasant lunch, everyone went back to the dorms to rest, and paid their class fees in the group chat.

Then, someone started it off, and everyone followed suit, adding the note: Dog Class Leader, collect your dog food!

Su Huai naturally didn't take it to heart.

If it were really dog food, I'd be overjoyed.

Too bad, you don't deal that stuff.

Lying on the bed, Su Huai silently counted the days—14 days until the Little Gold Mine came into play.

As a carrier of ancient wisdom, a master of ‘The Art of War by Sun Tzu' from the Gao school, and an adult skilled in planning before acting, Su Huai naturally wouldn't just sit and wait.

Gu Jiuyue was hard to deal with, so in order to dig into her mine, he would have to further improve his overall strength.

There are roughly three big areas—

The first area was comprehensive influence.

The class and the School of Management were the priorities; there was no need to consider the campus level.

Things had started off smoothly; the overall class environment had already gotten off to a good start, and the School of Management, as a secondary environment, didn't need much effort.

The second area was external qualities like attractiveness and physique.

A starting attractiveness score of 62 plus 8. After a month, that's 70 points—decent looking.

A starting physique score of 65 points, which is just average.

Meaning no special talents and no professional experience in muscle building or shaping; a blank slate.

What does someone with real talent look like?

Chen Nuanhan is one example.

She has a naturally small frame, a C-shaped waist, long legs, and a perky butt, with reasonable fat distribution.

Any one of these qualities is a rare gift of physical talent.

In his past life, Su Huai, who studied e-commerce and jumped from customer service to operations, then to MCN agencies and finally to the peripherals of the supply chain, had seen too many beautiful live streamers.

With the same height of 168 cm and weight of 48 kg, some girls had breasts, hips, and a big C-shaped waist, while others were flat-chested and all bones.

The bag-of-bones girls weren't even the worst off; the truly unfortunate were those who were just chubby on the arms, belly, and thighs.

Many girls, in order to look good on camera, got abdominal liposuction, and indeed, their abs showed up, but they still had H-shaped waists.

There's nothing you can do about that; it's a matter of the genetic lottery.

Su Huai was just an ordinary person who only hit a consolation prize of 2 bucks at birth, with no obvious flaws, but also no outstanding features.

In the world, creatures like him are the norm.

But now he was no longer satisfied and wanted to look better. So what to do?

No other way but to work hard.

I'll have to march half a kilometer for the military training later, and today's amount of exercise is enough, even excessive, so what's next is… earning dog food!

So, the problem comes back to Chen Nuanhan, who's not easy to please.

No, no!

I can't rely solely on her; I need to hurry and find Sister Fluffy Number Three!

A sense of urgency rose in Su Huai's mind. Although it didn't affect his mentality, he indeed planned to speed things up.

Sigh, no choice, I'm short on provisions!

The third area involved internal qualities such as eloquence, cultivation, temperament, and capabilities.

There wasn't much to do about temperament; just try to be steady.

In terms of eloquence, I actually need to adjust slowly.

Su Huai's usual style and way of speaking, with a decade-and-half gap from his peers, made him converse most harmoniously with Zhang… Isn't that ridiculous?

Where are all these girls who like daddy-type classmates?

Su Huai really needed some informal skills, like Pulling.

Other aspects, like dealing with emergencies, tolerance, composure, he didn't lack at all.

At least until he was 25, he was clearly ahead among his peers.

So overall, the future looked bright, and the path wasn't too twisted. Just enjoy the steady progress.

And the first step to steady progress…

Was of course to lock down Sister Fluffy Number Three!
