Chapter 6: A Tie

[Ding! After the underling was beaten, Host chose to inform the teacher which slightly altered the original plot trend, receiving 200 villain points.]

[Ding! The host’s current villain points exceed 500. The System Shop is automatically being enabled.]

As soon as Song Zhenyu left, Wang Haoran received a message from the system.

This was to be expected.

Even after his own underling got beaten up, he instructed him to inform the teacher about it. This action of his, deviated from the villain’s regular route, led to a change in the terrible storyline.

200 villain points.

Good enough.

In his mind, an interface of the System Shop was added in addition to his own attribute panel.

There were no items displayed in the shop except a single lottery option.

“What can I purchase with my 600 villain points?” Wang Haoran inquired the system.

[Answering the host, 600 villain points cannot be exchanged for any of the items, the cheapest item in the shop requires at least 1000 villain points.

It is recommended for the host to choose a lottery. Each draw only costs 500 villain points. The host might have a chance to draw super luxurious rewards. But the host might also end up with nothing.]

“I still have to save up 400 villain points before I can exchange items for what I need. Let’s just proceed with the lottery.” Wang Haoran intended to try his luck this time.

A roulette wheel appeared on the shop interface and began to spin. The results were yet to be revealed.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for being lucky enough to draw the reward ‘Love Affair Eyes’ that is worth 1500 villain points. Does the host want to accept it right away?]

With its literal meaning, it was not hard to understand what it really is.

A man with ‘Love Affair Eyes’ would be able to easily attract a woman’s attention.

This was indeed a blessing!

Of course, Wang Haoran chose to accept and use it immediately.

After accepting it, he took out his mobile phone to take a selfie. Looking into his own eyes, he found that there were no noticeable differences whatsoever.

Upon checking his attribute panel, Wang Haoran discovered that his Charm value had risen from 198 to 268.

This random increase of 70 Charm points must be related to the ‘Love Affair Eyes’.

“Why not check how different they are from before?”

Wang Haoran came up with this idea, so he got up to switch seats with Xu Muyan’s deskmate to discuss a remaining math problem that had not been discussed earlier.

He continued to discuss mathematical problems with Xu Muyan.

Wang Haoran clearly felt Xu Muyan staring at him more often, and when she looked at him, her gaze never left for a long time.

“What are you staring at me for? Is there something on my face?” Wang Haoran asked knowingly.

“No, I just think your eyes look really good.” Xu Muyan couldn’t help but say it.

Xu Muyan blushed as soon as she realized what she said, and swiftly averted her gaze.

It was just too appealing to see the bashful appearance of the beautiful young girl.

[Ding! Xu Muyan, one of the heroines, had a positive impression of Host +10, The current favorability value is 20 (Very friendly).]

[Ding! Chu Bai’s Protagonist’s Halo is partially devoured -10, the Host’s Villain Halo had a slight rise by +10.]

“It seems like this ‘Love Affair Eyes’ has quite a practical use, not bad.”

There were also changes in the attribute panel.

[Host: Wang Haoran]

[Combat value: 89]

[Charm Value: 268]

[Villain Halo: 129]

[Villain Points: 100]

[Skills: None]

Even after the completion of the morning class, Chu Bai and the other four had yet to come back.

Wang Haoran left for the Moral Education Department to watch the commotion.

A disturbance was heard at the door of the Moral Education Department just now.

Obviously, the problem had yet to be resolved, and both of the parties were in an argument.

Wang Haoran calmly stood by the door.

The Deputy Director of the Moral Education Department, who saw that some students were coming forward to witness the commotion, wanted them to retreat, but when his eyes landed on Wang Haoran’s figure, he swallowed his words back.

This was precisely the influence of him being a villain in the school. Except for the Protagonist, everyone else would want to be on good terms with him.

After all, Wang Haoran had a good family background with high education.

The reason that the argument was lasting for such a long time was that:

Fan Jian and the other two underlings said that they had long found Chu Bai to be distasteful, so they blocked his way after school, leading to the fight between two sides.

In the eyes of Song Zhenyu and the Deputy Director of the Moral Education Department, both sides were indeed wrong.

The fault of Fan Jian and the other two was that they had picked the fight first.

Chu Bai’s fault was that even after easily thrashing and overthrowing Fan Jian and the rest, he still went on with a dozen slaps, ending them up with a bloody nose and swollen face.

Both sides were wrong.

But why not punish them all?

Because Fan Jian and the other three wanted to report to the police.

This was naturally instructed by Wang Haoran.

Even though Fan Jian and the other three started it first, Chu Bai not only defended but ended up attacking too ruthlessly. This was beyond what they call ‘reasonable self-defense’.

This reason alone was sufficient for calling the police.

But in a situation like this, the school would not be so willing to comply.

Because once the police got involved, the matter would be exposed. It would lead to the reputation of the school being tarnished.

Therefore, the Deputy Director of the Moral Education Department and Song Zhenyu could only choose to reconcile the conflicts between Chu Bai and Fan Jian.

Under the reconciliation process, Fan Jian and the other two also compromised and said, only if they were permitted to slap Chu Bai back, they would no longer pursue this matter.

But how could Chu Bai agree?

Which Protagonist wasn’t so arrogant?

So he would rather let Fan Jian and others call the police.

Of course, the school was not pleased.

As a matter of fact, the two sides were motionless.

“Chu Bai, why are you so stubborn? Why don’t you comply with the agreement? Once the matter reaches the police, it would instead turn much more serious. You might get a criminal record and eventually get expelled from the school. Do you still choose not to agree?”

The Deputy Director of the Moral Education Department was Yan Zan, a fierce-looking man, who was around 40 or 50 years old. He began to threaten when he saw that the situation remained deadlocked.

“Deputy Director Yan, if you do this, Chu Bai’s future will be completely ruined. You can’t do this.” Song Zhenyu immediately objected.

Wang Haoran silently stood at the door watching the commotion.

Teacher Song was a really very hot-tempered woman whose attitude and appearance a moment ago was akin to a person about to slaughter. However, she now had a troubled look across her face. This was her style, she always treasures her own students.

A very kind-hearted person.

Teacher Song’s character resembles that of the heroines.

“Teacher Song, I have already provided him the opportunity. It is he who is arrogant. No wonder I have to be so harsh to him.” Yan Zan was determined.

He tried his level best to persuade Chu Bai just now, yet after wasting tens of minutes, Chu Bai didn’t know how to appreciate his kindness.

At this moment, he had already lost patience and did not even bother to listen to Song Zhenyu’s dissuasion.

Song Zhenyu had only arrived at school for not more than two or three years. She neither has seniority nor background.

Yan Zan wasn’t inclined to care about her opinion at all.

What’s more, he always had to think about the interests of the school.

Even if the School Representatives themselves knew it, they would approve of his approach.

“It’s that simple? Just expel him?” Wang Haoran felt that it was a little too hard to believe.

If Chu Bai was really expelled from the school, then the chances of him being in contact with Xu Muyan and Song Zhenyu would be basically zero, and thereby he would no longer have a chance to conquer the two heroines.

This way, there would be a drastic drop in Chu Bai’s Protagonist’s Halo.

And won’t his Villain Halo just burst up?

Won’t Chu Bai remain worthless as he was now?

However, at this point in time, Wang Haoran suddenly saw an old man with a gray beard walking straight towards the Moral Education Department.

Wang Haoran recognized him.

This was the principal.

“What did the principal suddenly come here for?” Wang Haoran was a little muddled.

Normally, the Principal would hardly be seen by anyone. Most of the affairs were handled by a few Deputy Principals below. Many students in the school don’t even know him.

It was a bit strange for him to appear here so suddenly.

Will he…

Wang Haoran suddenly had a bad premonition.
