Chapter 5

The desire for beauty is universal, and Han Ling has a good temperament and personality, along with a beautiful figure and face, which is why she was selected as the class beauty. Moreover, it is said that she still doesn't have a girlfriend, so having such a beautiful girl sit next to him, Zhan Fei naturally felt a bit uncomfortable.

After Han Ling sat down, she threw her book on the desk, glanced at Zhan Fei and the others, and then started reading her book. Just as Zhan Fei was sitting up straight, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "Side mission: Stroke the class beauty's hand. Do you accept?"

Hearing this voice, Zhan Fei's expression changed instantly, and he closed his eyes. Three seconds later, Zhan Fei saw his attribute panel, and in the mission section, there was already a new mission to stroke the class beauty's hand, with a question mark, clearly asking if he would accept it.

Seeing this mission, Zhan Fei almost spat blood. What kind of ridiculous mission is this? Stroke the class beauty's hand?

He and Han Ling aren't that close, and if he just goes and strokes her hand in public, won't she slap him? Then he would become a laughingstock in the entire class, facing the ridicule of everyone?

Zhan Fei immediately thought about giving up the mission. However, he then realized that his game system probably triggers random missions in reality, and generally, a side mission has several stages.

If he gave up this mission, he might not receive a new one for a long time, and the next mission's timing was unknown. Relying on his life skills, he almost couldn't level up, and there were no monsters to fight. So it seemed that if he wanted to level up, he could only rely on this mission!

Should he accept it? Or give up? After some consideration, Zhan Fei decided to accept it. Besides wanting to develop his character, deep down, he also really wanted to feel the class beauty's hand! With a determined heart, Zhan Fei directly accepted the mission. The mission status then changed to accepted, and below it was the mission description: "Stroke the class beauty's hand within one and a half hours. Complete the mission to gain 50 experience points. Fail the mission, and subsequent missions will be interrupted."

Seeing the penalty for failure, Zhan Fei sighed in relief. It wasn't a severe punishment, and completing the mission would directly level him up. Leveling up in the early stages was still relatively fast.

Of course, the premise was that Zhan Fei could complete this mission. Completing it within one and a half hours, before the end of the class, was crucial. After the class, it would be almost impossible to complete the mission.

Next, Zhan Fei kept thinking about how to complete the mission. Should he pretend to touch her hand accidentally? Or ask her directly? Or just grab her hand without thinking? Zhan Fei opened his eyes and secretly glanced at Han Ling, who was reading her book, while his mind kept pondering.

At this moment, Han Ling found it somewhat amusing. This guy, as soon as she sat down, he was fidgeting like he had a nail in his butt. Then he closed his eyes, his face showing various expressions, and opened his eyes to sneak a peek at her. Did he have some thoughts about her?

Han Ling didn't have any special feelings for Zhan Fei. They were just classmates. To have feelings, at least leave a special impression first, right?

Zhan Fei was just an ordinary student among the forty or so boys in the class. He didn't like studying, skipped classes, played games, and had no particular goals. Like many other boys in the class, he had a crush on Han Ling. How could Han Ling have any special thoughts about him?

So she shook her head slightly and continued reading her book. Zhan Fei, on the other hand, was thinking about whether to directly ask Han Ling to let him touch her hand. Seeing her shake her head, he immediately said, "I knew you wouldn't agree."

Hearing Zhan Fei's words, Han Ling's eyes flashed with surprise. "What do you mean, 'I knew you wouldn't agree'?" Zhan Fei was taken aback, realizing he had been distracted, and quickly shook his head. "No, nothing."

Han Ling gave Zhan Fei a strange look and continued reading her book. Zhou Tai, sitting next to Zhan Fei, said, "Third brother? What's wrong with you? Why are you talking to yourself?"

Zhan Fei patted Zhou Tai's big belly and said, "I'm thinking."

Zhou Tai asked, "Thinking? About what?"

Zhan Fei whispered, "Second brother, you have experience. How should I go about grabbing a girl's hand?"

Zhou Tai was taken aback and then said, "Grabbing a hand? It's simple. Just do it. It's not like kissing or something. It's a small matter. At worst, she'll pull away, but she won't be angry."

Hearing Zhou Tai's words, Zhan Fei asked, "Really?"

Zhou Tai affirmed, "Really!"

Hearing Zhou Tai's words, Zhan Fei said, "That makes it easier."

Zhan Fei then reached out and grabbed Han Ling's hand on the desk. The moment their hands touched, Zhan Fei felt a soft and tender sensation, and Han Ling turned her head.

Immediately, their eyes met, and Zhan Fei could feel that her beautiful big eyes seemed to be on fire. Then he saw a fist coming closer, and his right eye turned into a black eye. Han Ling pulled her hand back and said, "What's the matter with you?"

Zhan Fei, covering his eye, was tragically embarrassed, and many nearby people laughed. Fortunately, the impact wasn't too widespread, with only a dozen or so people seeing this. Zhan Fei, now extremely angry, rubbed his eye and turned to Zhou Tai, who was laughing, and said, "Second brother! Didn't you say it would be fine?"

Zhou Tai, still laughing, said, "Do you believe what I say? Don't you know I'm a theory king? I've had ten or eight girlfriends online, but in reality, I haven't even touched a girl's hand. I was afraid of ending up like you!"

Hearing this, Zhan Fei said fiercely, "I'll deal with you later!"

Zhan Fei then closed his eyes and looked at his attribute panel. As for the impact of being punched by the class beauty, he chose to forget about it. On the panel, the mission was marked as completed, and the next stage of the mission was still hidden, requiring certain conditions to trigger.

Then, Zhan Fei looked at his experience bar, and the level-up icon was now lit up. He could level up!
