Reborn with Consumption System

"MWAH!"

Waiting for Pan Ge at the school's side gate, the girl, a picture of innocence, happily gave Han Lie a peck on the cheek.

"Why are you being so good today? You even remembered to include me when drinking with my dad?"

Han Lie didn't answer, looking at her suspiciously. "What's going on with you? Declaring your sovereignty?"

"Exactly! Hehe!"

Pan Ge's smile was particularly radiant, revealing an exceptionally good mood.

The scoundrel sighed quietly, feeling a tad sorrowful. Just as his harem was about to be completed, ready for a big spree, his legitimate queen suddenly showed her hand... What was she thinking?! Does she have to blow up my fishpond?! This matter requires careful, long-term planning...

Han Lie displayed his Oscar-worthy acting skills, cheerfully taking her hand and heading towards the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked across the street.

"Alright, if you're happy, I'm happy."

Not many people passed by the school's side gate. However, some of those who did might have recognized Pan Ge or Han Lie, and their probing gazes were quite piercing.

After getting into the car, Brother Lie took the initiative to ask her, "So, are we going public just like that?"

"Aren't you afraid?" Pan Ge tilted her small face, looking at the scoundrel, her eyes sparkling and filled with an indescribable emotion.

Han Lie thought to himself, Afraid? Of course, I'm afraid! How could I not be?

But what he said was different: "What's there to be afraid of? You're the most important."

While soothing her, he gazed at her tenderly.

Today, Pan Ge had all her hair combed back, revealing her forehead, chin, and the base of her ears. Her face seemed to have some skincare products applied, but she was definitely without makeup.

A typical beauty would never dare to present herself like this.

Without a hairstyle to conceal them, the bone structure and facial proportions were completely exposed. Any small imperfection would be magnified, creating a focal point for visual flaws.

On top of that, her face was natural, without concealer, contouring, or the play of highlights and shadows—she relied completely on her innate gifts.

And Pan Ge's attractiveness was indeed off the charts.

Looking at her up close was like seeing those TikTok celebrities through a screen. The stunning effect was similar, but the naturalness was something beauty filters could never replicate. In a word: breathtaking!

Before his rebirth, Pan Ge was the most beautiful woman Han Lie had ever seen in real life; the most impactful had been Xi Luting. But whether it was one or the other, he could only dream of them.

Now, everything was different. The great beauty was right in front of him, smiling, with love in her eyes.

So, Han Lie couldn't hold back and leaned in, kissing her with an almost devouring intensity.

That fervor was like he wanted to shred her to pieces.

Pan Ge quietly endured for a while, then suddenly pushed him away forcefully, half-embarrassed and half-annoyed, wiping her lips.

"I knew your gentleness was just an act... Can't you be gentler? How am I supposed to face people with swollen lips? Are you ready to come clean to my dad?" she asked, a rapid-fire trio of questions that were all essentially extensions of her initial statement.

Brother Lie shrugged with a mischievous smile. "You don't like it gentle anyway..."

"SLAP!"

A slap landed on his arm.

She's flustered! She's flustered!

But it was true. Pan Ge, having been pampered for so many years, indeed had a stronger reaction to more dominant actions now.

She and Xi Luting had the same problem: a fundamental need to be conquered.

Of course, the details were slightly different. Xi Luting preferred a rougher, wilder kind of force, while Pan Ge appreciated a rational firmness that could make decisions for her. Both required a significant degree of assertiveness, yet their essence was completely different.

Prior to this, Han Lie couldn't quite distinguish the difference. But since raising his Intelligence to 79 points, he had finally, slowly, figured out the distinctions.

Simply put, Xi Luting responded to firm tactics, not gentle persuasion; her heart might agree even if her words didn't. She needed to be overcome.

Whereas Pan Ge was impervious to both soft and hard tactics—her mouth might concede, but her heart wouldn't. She needed to be patiently worn down.

Big data for picking up girls—had all that study gone to waste?

Actually, the "Dynamic Duo," as they were now, were still young and not that difficult to handle.

But the question was... who would dare to treat them that way?!

Looking around, from the upperclassmen to the underclassmen, there were only sycophants. Off-campus, one only found wimps. The few who didn't fawn over them lacked the quality themselves.

The punchline? It was all for nothing.

Thus, in the four years of college in his previous life, no one had managed to conquer either Xi Luting or Pan Ge, which was how they earned the nickname "Peerless Beauties."

It wasn't until Han Lie's rebirth—confident, filled with pent-up frustration and a fierce ruthlessness, indulging no one, and with a dash of luck—that he managed to orchestrate the current situation.

But—and it was a big 'but'—if he continued to muddle through without a clear plan, the results definitely wouldn't be pretty.

Xi Luting was ruthless, Pan Ge was cunning. Neither was a pushover.

They hadn't quite snapped out of it yet. But give it a month or two—just wait and see.

Being overwhelmed would be an understatement.

However, a cheater never just rolls over and dies!

At this critical moment, Han Lie had suddenly gained a huge amount of experience and timely raised his Intelligence to 79 points.

Don't underestimate that modest increase of 8 points. Really, it was damn effective.

Lately, whenever Han Lie had free time, he would reflect. Each session brought new insights, making him feel as if he'd ascended to an entirely new level of understanding.

The gap in intelligence among humans is truly unimaginable.

The dim-witted kids in school could never believe how someone could memorize an entire, convoluted classical text after reading it just once.

And those smart kids could never comprehend why something as simple as a math problem, which they could solve at a glance, was impossible for others to learn, no matter how it was explained.

These two types of people are destined never to truly understand each other.

When they interact, their feelings are invariably the same—
