Chapter 41

[PS: This chapter is a bit short, don't ask me why. I can tell you, I fell asleep while writing this chapter. Please recommend, please collect, please **!]

Li Huan patted his buttocks and stood up, immediately making a phone call: "Uncle Huang, come quickly and drive my car back. I won't drive anymore from now on."

"What's going on, kid?"

"Never mind, I'm going to strive to become a great hero."

There was silence on the other end.

Li Huan didn't chase after Su Wen; he didn't want to be a third wheel.

By six o'clock in the evening, Su Wen and Lin Xinyi walked into a small restaurant.

"It's time, let's eat here."

"Okay!"

The small restaurant served authentic countryside dishes, and the owner spoke with a Jiangning accent. Su Wen didn't know what to order, but the owner's wife was very enthusiastic and quickly recommended a few dishes. Upon closer inspection, she didn't just pick the most expensive ones.

"Brother Su Wen, can I also work part-time at the Treasure House?" Lin Xinyi had been thinking about this for a long time and finally spoke up.

"Xinyi, you want to come to the Treasure House?" Su Wen was surprised. "We deal in antiques, which might not be suitable for you."

"I have a minor in finance and can help you with the accounts," Lin Xinyi explained her prepared reason.

"Alright, we do need someone to handle the accounts." Su Wen didn't think much about it. He just felt that Lin Xinyi's family wasn't very wealthy, so it would be best if she could earn some money this way. Plus, this little girl was meticulous, and it would be good to have her handle the accounts.

"Thank you, Brother Su Wen." Lin Xinyi was very happy.

By seven o'clock in the evening, Su Wen stood up: "Xinyi, it's getting late. I'll take you back to Jiangning University. I have some things to do afterward. You can come to the part-time job whenever you have time, and Brother Su Wen will pay you."

"Okay, I'll come when I have time," Lin Xinyi said.

The two walked together, and it didn't take long to reach the entrance of Jiangning University.

Su Wen waved goodbye to Lin Xinyi: "Go in, I won't go in. The security guards will come and chase me away soon."

"Our dean of academic affairs is really crazy. Don't worry, Brother Su Wen. There's no security at the back gate. You can come in through the back gate anytime in the future," Lin Xinyi said with a beautiful smile.

How could Su Wen not know about the back gate? He had entered from there yesterday. But he didn't need to enter Jiangning University now.

"Hey, kid, are you Su Wen?" the old security guard shouted. "Our Jiangning University used to have only three most unpopular people. You are the fourth. The first three were all students, but you don't seem to be. Those three guys did some earth-shattering things. What did you do?"

"I didn't do much, just some minor mischief. I don't know what they did," Su Wen was curious.

"The first guy used a bag of instant noodles to break into a girls' dormitory and stole from it all night. He's now a famous international thief. The second guy hacked into the security websites of seventeen countries and uploaded a romantic action movie to each one. He was wanted by seventeen countries and is now crying in some corner. The last guy was the strangest. He claimed to see ghosts every day and wandered around the school at night, acting like a lunatic. But he was also powerful and predicted several incredible events," the old security guard seemed to know a lot about Jiangning University.

"Interesting, I'm honored to be the fourth," Su Wen smiled.

The security guard was silent.

Lin Xinyi covered her mouth and laughed: "Brother Su Wen, you're not as strange as those three legendary people."

"Really?" Su Wen smiled mysteriously. "Xinyi, go back quickly. I need to go to sleep too. See you later!"

"Okay, Brother Su Wen, see you later."

"See you!"

Su Wen left and began to collect women's items around Jiangning University.

Side Quest 3: The Collector. Task Description: Collect 100 women's items. Note: All items must be used exclusively by women. Task Reward:初级异性亲和力 (初级异性亲和力 translates to "初级" meaning "初级" and "异性亲和力" meaning "初级异性亲和力").

Current Progress: 100/100.

Status: Completed.

"Congratulations, Master! You have completed Side Quest 3 and received the reward:初级异性亲和力," Xiaotian's voice said.

Su Wen was indeed happy to complete Side Quest 3, but he didn't let it go to his head: "Xiaotian, what special abilities does初级异性亲和力 have?"

Xiaotian seemed to have anticipated this question and explained: "Affinity is a natural attraction, which is quite common in society. Some people can gain others' favor wherever they go, while others immediately make people wary upon appearance. Master's初级异性亲和力 is this ability, but it only affects the opposite sex. However, since it's at the初级 level, it's not very noticeable."

"Not very noticeable, but to what extent?"

"No woman will have an unprovoked aversion to you, to that extent."

Su Wen was taken aback and somewhat surprised: "That's already quite good. In this society, people can develop an aversion to you even if you do nothing. If all women won't have an unprovoked aversion to me, this ability is quite useful. This is just the初级 level. I wonder if there are intermediate and advanced levels?"

"Of course there are," Xiaotian told Su Wen directly. "At the intermediate level, Master will become a heartthrob. At least one out of ten women will have a good impression of you. While you won't be as popular as famous idols, you won't be far behind. At the advanced level, Master will be universally loved. Most women will have a good impression of you when they meet you. Of course, some women with strong willpower are exceptions, but fortunately, there are many brain-dead fans in society, so the advanced level of异性亲和力 is still very useful."

Hearing Xiaotian's analysis, Su Wen almost laughed himself to tears: "Forget it, I don't plan to attract any women. I'll treat this ability as a bonus. Maybe it will come in handy when I do business with women, or even use it to seduce them. Haha, interesting!"

Xiaotian was speechless. This ability wasn't meant to be used for seduction.

It was already late, and Su Wen returned to his residence in high spirits. However, today seemed different. Two people were already waiting for him in the courtyard, with Yi Xue leading and Chu Fei quickly lowering her head when she saw Su Wen.

Knowing this would happen, Su Wen calmly sat down opposite Yi Xue with a chair.

"Let's talk," Yi Xue said, her face showing a hint of seriousness.

"Sure, let's talk," Su Wen smiled.

The atmosphere was a bit strange, and Su Wen knew he needed to make a statement today.
