Dubian Che focused intently on the blackboard where the Math teacher's frenzied writing was taking place when suddenly a pale blue near-transparent panel popped up.

He blinked and then wrote in his notebook: The methods to represent a set include—listing method, description...

"Snap"

The pencil lead broke, leaving a small smudge of graphite on his pristine notebook.

Dubian Che pressed the end of the pencil, but the lead didn't come out. He took out a spare 0.5 mm lead from his pencil case and inserted it into the tip like threading a needle, then completed the word "description" on his notebook.

During this time, that pale blue near-transparent panel remained within his field of vision.

Awakening a system now? Doesn't it feel a bit too late?

Dubian Che was reborn in a remote village where buses ran only every two hours. When he became old enough to attend kindergarten, he finally gave up any impractical fantasies about "systems," "awakening stands after being shot by an arrow," "aliens," "future people," and "superpower users."

He decided to study hard.

In that village, the kindergarten + elementary school + middle school, including teachers, only totaled five people. Through self-study, Dubian Che managed to take the entrance exam for a key high school in Tokyo and was admitted with the third-highest score in the whole school.

His next life goal was Tokyo University.

After graduation, he would take the civil service exam, and then live off the taxpayers for the rest of his life.

But now, after he had worked hard for so long, after he had planned his future so carefully, after he was ready to endure hardship, the system arrives?

If it was going to come, it should have come earlier; if not, then it shouldn't come at all. What's with this indecision?

After seriously finishing the math class—thankfully, the panel didn't obstruct his view; otherwise, he would have been genuinely angry.

The last time he was angry was just yesterday when the class advisor notified them that all students must join clubs and could not leave school early.

He should have gone to the school next door, Bright High School.

The girls there wore super cute sailor uniforms, and students could join the Going-Home Club. The more Dubian Che thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

Hence, one can conclude: no matter how many times life is reset, there will always be regrets.

Those who claim that starting over could lead to a life without regrets, Dubian Che could say without reservation: They're all liars or idiots with poor memory.

The math class was the last session of the morning, and while the classroom still maintained the quiet atmosphere of during class, Kunii Shuichi shouted loudly:

"Dubian! Saito! Let's go eat!"

The math teacher, just preparing to leave the classroom, glanced disapprovingly at Kunii Shuichi through his reading glasses.

"Hey, man, can you keep it down!" Saito Keisuke scolded with a laugh, then asked, "What shall we eat today? Set meal? Ramen? Or bread?"

"Ramen!"

"Okay, then it's decided. We'll have bread."

"Saito, you're asking for it. Ora ora ora ora!"

"Muda muda muda muda!"

"Damn, you caught all of it! Take this Evil Ghost Possession!"

"Nowhere near enough, Shu! Eat my Hell Burial Hand Blade!"

"Eh, my neck?! Keisuke, why are you getting physical? We agreed no actual hitting!"

Dubian Che closed his textbook and stood up, and amidst the looks from the rest of the class who saw them as outcasts, he left the classroom with them.

These two were friends Dubian Che made in high school; they usually ate together and talked about anime, manga, light novels, and girls.

On Saturdays and Sundays, when Dubian Che didn't have to work, they'd also meet up to hang out.

In the cafeteria, the three eventually settled on a 400 yen grilled meat set meal—grilled meat, grilled mushrooms, salad, rice, and miso soup.

Kunii Shuichi devoured his meal voraciously, speaking with his mouth full, "Wanna hit up the arcade after school today?"

"I'm down," said Saito Keisuke with a nod. "By the way, Dubian, aren't you supposed to be working after school on Wednesday?"

"That was the plan," Dubian Che replied, taking a bite of the so-so grilled meat.

"So what happened?" Saito Keisuke inquired.

"Is it perhaps a date? Has the day finally come?" Kunii Shuichi let out a wail, "Dubian is going to be the first man among us!"

Curious, Saito Keisuke turned his head, looking at Dubian Che, "Is that true? Who is it with? Which class is she from? What does she look like?"

"That's not it. Mr. Xiaoquan ordered me to join a club today."

"That thing. Ugh, boring." Kunii Shuichi went back to wolfing down his rice before finally starting on the grilled meat and salad.

What a weird guy.

Saito Keisuke suggested, "How about joining the computer research club? Although there are no cute girls, we can play a lot of games for free."

"Come to the baseball club, Dubian. Let me lead you to Koshien and become the star of tomorrow!" Kunii Shuichi said with enthusiasm.

Dubian Che responded dryly, "Aren't you still fetching water and towels for the second-year seniors?"

```

"This is just temporary! The Minister secretly told me that he'll let me join the training next week."

"Really?" Dubian Che thought the salad was alright, the vegetables were fresh enough.

"Hey, I'm serious! The Minister really said that to me!"

"Alright, alright, quiet down," Saito Keisuke said as he picked up his bowl and took a sip of soup.

There was an hour of rest after lunch. Previously, the three of them would have gathered to chat, but today Dubian Che decided to check out the club first.

"Shall we go with you?" Saito Keisuke asked.

"No need," Dubian Che waved his hand, "you guys go back to the classroom first."

"Alright."

After separating from the others, on his way to the club building, Dubian Che took the opportunity to explore the system.

"[Panel]" and "[Shop]" were highlighted.

He tried to open the panel with his thoughts and it opened smoothly.

"[Character: Dubian Che]"

"[Age: 15]"

"[Intelligence: 7]"

"[Charm: 8]"

"[Strength: 3]"

"[Items: None]"

"[Skills: None]"

"[Points: 100]"

"[Money: 154,650 yen]"

The average was five points.

At a glance, he was smart and good-looking, and the fact that he could be lapped by girls during a run was not a problem at all.

In terms of skills, Dubian Che had not discovered any particular talents up until now.

He then opened the "[Shop]".

"[Items: Detector (regular price: 1000/special price: 100)]"

"[Money: 100 yen/1 point]"

"[Intelligence: 1 point/100,000 points]"

"[Charm: 1 point/10,000 points]"

"[Strength: 1 point/5,000 points]"

"[Skills: Entry-level – Writing (100), Master – Editing (1,000), Master Level – Cooking (10,000), Grandmaster Level – Fishing (100,000)]"

With only 100 points, it seemed they were meant to be used to buy a detector, whose purpose was unknown.

Dubian searched for a full minute and finally found the nearly invisible "[Appendix]" menu button.

This kind of setup was obviously designed with rules to trap players.

"[Appendix]"

{1. Player death is unrelated to this game, no obligation to revive; (injuries may be repaired, the method is for the player to explore)}

"..." Dubian Che, reading this clause, fell into deep thought.

{2. Before attempting to conquer a target, it is advised to use the detector to check if they are a suitable target for conquest (detectors can be purchased in the shop)}

{3. A new item purchase option is added every month;}

{4. There is no limit to money conversion, it can be safely used in reality;}

{5. After reaching ten points in intelligence, charm, and strength, the cost of points conversion doubles;}

{6. Skills are randomly refreshed at the end of each month;}

{7. Each refresh includes one Entry-level, one Master Level, one Master Level, and one Grandmaster Level skill, with prices unchanged;}

{8. Entry-level skills correspond to the level of a regular university graduate, Master Level to industry personnel, Master Level to industry elites, and Grandmaster Level to the human limit;}

{9. When exchanging intelligence points, players must choose the specific knowledge or skill they wish to excel at (for example, if choosing painting, the player will become an unparalleled genius in painting, with the potential to Transcend Grandmaster Level);}

...

{997. Players are obligated to keep this game secret;}

{998. In the spirit of basic human rights, players may freely choose whether or not to conquer;}

{999. All consequences after successful conquest are the responsibility of the player;}

{1000. All interpretation rights belong to this game.}

There were densely packed ten pages; it took Dubian a good ten minutes just standing in the corridor between the teaching building and the club building to finish reading them all.

After reading it all carefully, Dubian Che roughly understood the game.

Conquering females, persuading them to wholeheartedly agree to be his girlfriend, and then he could obtain game points.

And these game points could practically do anything one wished, of course, that required a bit of luck—dependent on whether the skills refreshed were powerful enough, or what he desired.

This was forcing players to become playboys.

Dubian Che didn't know what to say about this game, but with the mentality that there was no punishment anyway, and it wouldn't hurt to try, he exchanged for a "[Detector]".

"[Detector: Can view female information (3/3 uses)]"

Just then, a female student passed by in front of Dubian Che, and he clicked to use it.
