“Since the Male Protagonist has already been reborn, can your mission still be completed?”
After lunch, Mu Jing returned to the dormitory and started arguing with the System again. “This already counts as a different price.”
【The manual says that all kinds of situations can happen during a mission. One of our predecessors once said it encountered an even more outrageous world.】
“How outrageous?”
【The Male Protagonist of that mission world was reborn, the original female lead transmigrated, one of the male supporting characters directly changed gender, and there was another transmigrator competing for the same mission. The task failed halfway through.】
Mu Jing was speechless. That really did sound ridiculous. She was already struggling just dealing with a reborn Male Protagonist—she did not even dare imagine the chaos if all those other elements were mixed together.
However, even though the current Male Protagonist was a cheat-level existence, he had not sacrificed her at the start, which meant there was still plenty of room to salvage the situation.
“By the way, do you really not have a System shop? Like beauty upgrades or superpower upgrades?”
【I’ll only have those after I pass the assessment.】
Tsk… after going in circles, everything returned to the same point.
Mu Jing sighed. She decided to let things take their natural course. After all, whether she returned or not…
“Tell me, where is the original Mu Jing now?” Mu Jing sighed again. “Even though she looks a lot like me, I still prefer my own body.”
Her body had been very healthy. It was just that the state she was in after the car accident had not looked very good.
The System remained silent for a moment. 【Do you remember the unknown energy attack I mentioned? She truly died, which is why you were able to enter this body.】
“Then could that energy attack be Xu Ge’s rebirth? Why didn’t it affect anyone else?”
【My analysis suggests that the Male Protagonist was reborn on the day of the broken engagement. However, he initially lost his memories and only regained them when his abilities awakened. At that time, the original host happened to be near him, and her body was weaker than others’.】
“…Alright.” Listening to the System’s voice, Mu Jing felt that this analysis had already pushed its brainpower to the limit.
The phone beside her pillow vibrated. A new message appeared on the screen.
“Special Type 2201 Class”
Class Advisor: Assemble at 1:30 PM in Special Type Teaching Building Room 201 for the freshmen meeting.
Experiencing university life again felt a bit strange, but a university in a different world could still bring a sense of novelty.
Class 2201 had thirty students in total—fourteen boys and sixteen girls—arranged according to the alphabetical order of their names.
Mu Jing opened the class list and scanned it from top to bottom. Her gaze stopped on the name of one of the girls.
In the original novel, whenever Mu Jing encountered Xu Ge, she would immediately activate her willful young lady mode. The author had explained it this way.
At first, Mu Jing disliked Xu Ge. Later she developed feelings for him, but because of the broken engagement she could not swallow her pride, so she used this method to attract the Male Protagonist’s attention.
It was the same logic as a boy in the back row pulling the hair of the girl in front—either way, it was not likable.
Because of the influence of Mu Jing’s powerful family, no one in the class dared voice any objections. Only this girl had bravely stood up in the name of justice.
Of course, this girl also liked Xu Ge.
“Let’s go together later,” Chen Yiyun, who was on the bed opposite, suddenly spoke and broke the silence in the dormitory.
Zhou Zhou, sitting on a chair, looked troubled. “Sorry, my parents haven’t gone home yet. I’ll go with them this afternoon.”
“I’m fine with anything.” Su Linlin nodded.
Finally, both of them looked at Mu Jing.
Mu Jing put down her phone. “Let’s go together.”
It was only the beginning of the semester, so everyone was still a polite and reserved lady. Once they became familiar with each other, they would probably reveal their true forms—perverts, hooligans, idiots, and crazy women.
Of course, there was also the possibility that one dormitory would eventually split into three separate chat groups. But since she did not know them well yet, Mu Jing could not tell who would be easy to get along with and who would not.
Then again, wealthy people were rarely short of “good people” around them.
Mu Jing thought of Mu Jianbai and sighed in her heart. From now on, she would treat this father well on behalf of the original owner.
The freshmen meeting was long and boring. The teachers said the same things every year.
Mu Jing had not expected much from the meeting anyway, so after entering the classroom she simply sat down and played with her phone.
At that moment, the Class Advisor posted the military training schedule in the group chat. Starting at seven o’clock the next morning, the freshmen would begin a week-long military training.
“At ease! Attention!”
Teams were assembled on the training ground, military instructors claimed their groups, and the military uniforms in this different world were also green camouflage.
Because of her physical condition, Mu Jing had already explained things to both the teacher and the military instructor. Now she sat on a bench under the shade of a tree, watching her classmates baking under the sun.
It actually felt quite nice.
She even felt like eating watermelon.
Under the shade of the tree, Mu Jing’s fair and slender figure and delicate features attracted many glances.
One of the reasons many people looked forward to university was to experience a romantic relationship. Under the steaming heat of the summer sun, countless young hearts were stirred.
“Where is the Male Protagonist?” Mu Jing remembered that his training squad was nearby, but looking around at the sea of green uniforms, she could not spot him at all.
As soon as she finished speaking, the System kindly displayed a golden arrow within her field of vision.
Xu Ge was tall and stood at the back of the formation, so from Mu Jing’s current seated angle he could not be seen.
In the original novel, Xu Ge had even been punished to run laps on the first day.
However, he had been implicated. Someone beside him whispered during training, and the instructor standing in front simply included him in the punishment.
But now that Xu Ge had been reborn, the reborn Xu Ge should avoid this punishment, right?
…
That afternoon, while thinking about this, Mu Jing watched with a complicated expression as Xu Ge and two other students were called out by the instructor.
Because they had talked to each other instead of following instructions, the three of them were punished with ten laps.
Since most students at Federation University were Ability Users, one lap around the track was one thousand meters. The training ground was ridiculously huge.
Xu Ge should explain—
Why did he start running again?
Wasn’t he supposed to be sharp-tongued? Wasn’t he reborn?
Did he simply love this track that much? Or were cheat users fearless?
Mu Jing completely failed to understand Xu Ge’s thinking.
She shook her head and took a sip of the watermelon juice she had bought at noon. Suddenly the System reminded her of something.
【Sister, this is the perfect chance to deliver some fatherly love! When he finishes running, give him a bottle of ice-cold mineral water. Just imagine—brothers for life will be within reach!】
“…Don’t call me ‘sister’ with a Tianjin accent.” Mu Jing curled her lips.
“He’s not stupid. He definitely has his own water bottle. Besides, every formation has those big barrels of water provided by the school. If I go give him an iced bottle too, wouldn’t that just look dumb?”
While Mu Jing was saying this, the instructor suddenly called for a break and ordered the three students who had not finished their laps to return.
And then reality slapped her in the face.
Several girls suddenly surrounded Xu Ge, each holding either a bottle of iced mineral water or a cold drink.
Mu Jing: ???
Huh?
Had she been too narrow-minded?
What should she do now? The only thing she had was a half-finished cup of watermelon juice.
And it was room temperature.
