Mini World Game Console

The rain pitter-pattered down. The flurry of the Rain Curtain added a filter to the night sky, making the colors of the distant neon lights even more vivid, as if thick ink was spreading on black paper.

Long ago, Ren Suo had realized that fantasy works are dramatic. You wouldn't fail to cast a Spell because you urgently needed to pee during a battle with the Great Demon King, you wouldn't get tricked into bed by an enemy snapping a nude photo of you during a transformation, and no matter how hurt you got in a fight, you would always keep an intact set of underwear...

However, in reality, the world is not a game, and things just don't work out as conveniently as in the plot.

Dong Chengling sat on the sofa, looking at Ren Suo, and asked, "So, is there something important you want to talk to me about, Ren Suo?"

Ren Suo turned his head and looked at the two girls next to him, who were both nervously and curiously awaiting his reply.

"It's raining outside. Shouldn't you be hurrying on your way?"

"We have umbrellas," Gu Yueyan and Lin Xianyu took folding umbrellas out of their bags.

"Doesn't your dormitory have a curfew?"

"I'm the class monitor; I have the right to return to the dormitory after twelve o'clock," Gu Yueyan flashed her wristwatch.

"That's terrifying. Students nowadays know all about playing power games at such a young age. The school's to blame too, for treating top students so well," Ren Suo shook his head. "Back in my high-school days, the best perk I got for being the top of the class was pretty much guaranteed permission to take a bathroom break during class..."

Lin Xianyu, a bit embarrassed, gently tugged at Gu Yueyan's sleeve. Her face flushed as she whispered timidly, "We should go back if the adults have things to do."

After all, Ren Suo had treated Lin Xianyu for several days, aiding her in her Perfect Awakening. In Lin Xianyu's eyes, he was a Healing doctor. Therefore, although she was quite curious about what Ren Suo would do next, her gratitude outweighed her interest in Gossip, and she attempted to pull her friend back to the dormitory.

"No, that would show you don't trust Doctor Ren," Gu Yueyan stated righteously, "I believe Mr. Ren is a noble person, an upright person, someone above Low Level interests. He acts with integrity and stands tall. There's definitely nothing shady going on, right, Mr. Ren?"

"Right, right, right," Ren Suo could only nod in agreement. "But adults discuss matters not suitable for kids to hear. You should really go back first."

Gu Yueyan turned to Dong Chengling, "Sister Ling, can I stay here tonight?"

Upon hearing 'Sister Ling,' Dong Chengling paused for a moment, then her composed expression softened. "Of course, that's not a problem."

"Hey! I want to stay too!" The prospect of sleeping over with the teacher seemed like such a fun idea that Lin Xianyu's playful heart once again overcame her slight guilt towards Ren Suo.

"No problem, my bed is big. Besides, I can cultivate tonight, so the two of you can sleep in the bedroom. As for the dormitory situation, I'll explain it to the dormitory manager tomorrow..."

"No, no, let's all sleep together," Gu Yueyan turned around, holding up a 'V' for Victory sign at Ren Suo. "Doctor Ren, you wouldn't also be planning to stay over in a room that already has three girls, would you? If there's something to be discussed, why not settle it sooner?"

"...Of course, I won't be staying over."

Ren Suo checked his phone; it was 10:54. "I'll be leaving in a while."

"Ah, I'd forgotten, I have to bring in the laundry," Dong Chengling stood up. "You guys chat."

Gu Yueyan breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed she had managed to thwart Ren Suo's 'different intentions'. However, her expression changed as she reflected that while Gu Yueyan herself was vivacious and bold in love and hate, she was still somewhat delicate at heart.

She indeed didn't want Dong Chengling to develop any strange chemical reactions because of Ren Suo, lest the Cultivation Goddess become tarnished.

But Ren Suo, despite not being too ambitious, was essentially a good person: ordinary yet affable, gentle without outbursts of temper, polite without being annoying. Though he couldn't be considered top-tier handsome, in a crowd of average people he was passable—practically the spare tire described by certain social media accounts.

Now that Dong Chengling had left, Gu Yueyan's tone softened, "Actually, Doctor Ren, you don't have to pine after one person. I see that there are many cute and pretty nurses and doctors at the school infirmary, and among the teachers, there are quite a few young and beautiful girls of marriageable age. Heavenly Lotus Academy is usually in seclusion, so the girls can't go out to play. You male staff have many opportunities to interact with them..."

"Familiarity breeds fondness, and love between students often arises from sharing the same classroom. Doctor Ren, with all the free time you have, you could easily show concern for those girls. Without other men to compare them to, not all of them are as steadfast as Teacher Dong. Many might harbor romantic fantasies. Who knows, one might just get confused and do something foolish in a moment of weakness..."

"Given your status, getting their WeChat or QQ is simple. Initially, it's best to invite someone out to eat, but not to the canteen. Better to invite them to your place where you can cook for them personally..."

Originally, Ren Suo wasn't really listening to what Gu Yueyan was saying, but the more she talked, the more sense it made. Ren Suo nodded again and again and even took out his phone to take notes.

Lin Xianyu was also looking at Gu Yueyan in shock as she confidently discussed everything from dress to dating, from First Impressions to how to send a message after a date. Gu Yueyan's advice was so well-structured—it made Lin Xianyu feel a bit sorry for her.

"Yueyan," Lin Xianyu whispered, leaning close to Gu Yueyan's ear, "have you been reading a lot of WeChat articles and romance novels? Do you really want to be in a relationship?"

The usually eloquent Great Guide Gu Yueyan immediately began to stammer. Glaring fiercely at Lin Xianyu and pinching her round face, she said, "How, how could that be! How dare you slander your class leader, you Salted Fish?"

"Ow... Hey... But how do you know so much?"

"None of your business!"

The two girls started to mess around, and Ren Suo came back to his senses—he wasn't there to learn how to get out of the single club from a high school sophomore.

He turned his head to look at Dong Chengling, who was collecting clothes on the balcony. Hmm, it was almost time to witness firsthand how Dong Chengling would awaken to Space Series Spells after the opening of the Mysterious Country Spirit Treasury.

Speaking of which, Dong Chengling had a lot of clothes hanging on the balcony. But on second thought, Ren Suo realized he was the same; he either didn't wash clothes or washed several days' worth all at once—not to save on water or electricity, but because it seemed wasteful to spend time washing just a few items when living alone. It was more efficient to wash a bunch together.

When Ren Suo looked over, Dong Chengling also happened to turn her head and caught his gaze. Noticing his attention, Dong Chengling seemed a bit embarrassed, gave him a glare, and then turned her back to continue collecting her clothes.

What's going on? Ren Suo wondered. He took a closer look and then understood why—she was collecting her underwear.

No matter how willing Dong Chengling was to sacrifice anything for Cultivation, she was inherently a young girl and naturally felt embarrassed if a man saw her personal garments.

Ren Suo wasn't a pervert, so he turned his head back to his phone.

It was almost time...

However, Ren Suo felt like he had forgotten something.

He was there to observe Dong Chengling's Awakening phenomenon, while also hoping to get the Key firsthand—that was his main purpose.

But he had another incidental reason: in the game, he saw Dong Chengling... sitting in a wheelchair.

However, Dong Chengling wasn't outside at the moment, so it wasn't possible for her to be hit by a car, right?...

Ren Suo turned his head abruptly just in time to see a piece of Clothing being blown away by a gust of wind on the balcony. Dong Chengling instinctively leaned out, trying to grab the fluttering garment.

CLANG!

Without hesitation, with one step and one push, Ren Suo, under the surprised gazes of Gu Yueyan and Lin Xianyu, charged in a straight line towards the balcony's glass door to catch Dong Chengling, who seemed about to fall off the balcony!
