The next day, Ling Xue wandered the streets, randomly searching for targets. Once she spotted someone, she quickly obtained their contact information and then used her Charm to increase their Favorability towards her. After that, she would block them. The entire process was remarkably smooth; although she could only use this ability once per hour, it was still better than putting herself at risk. Several days passed, and finally, she successfully charmed her first target. Eagerly, she submitted her task.
At that moment, the system emitted a crisp sound: "This task has been successfully completed. However, one of the targets is not counted as they have already been charmed. Nevertheless, since this is your first successful completion of a charm task, the rewards will be granted in full without any deductions. Please check your rewards: Appearance, Strength, Constitution, Agility, Free Points, and the skill Skill Detection (which allows you to automatically view the Favorability of those around you). You also receive a permanent Transformation Card (Ling Xue)."
She opened her interface to review her status.

Skills: Skill Detection (automatically view the Favorability of those around you), Charm (can charm opponents with higher Favorability or lower intelligence than yourself; duration and cooldown time apply), Skill Points (each skill consumes points; once reaching the current maximum value, further enhancement requires multiple times the consumption).
At this moment, aside from the Charm Skill which was still in green status, everything else remained black. She now possessed the complete transformation skill and exchanged ten thousand yuan in reality before transferring the money to Ling Yu's silver card. She then used the remaining Skill Points to increase her Constitution.

Ling Yu gazed at the newly added funds in his account, feeling a sense of relief. The upcoming plans would rely on this financial support. At that moment, he quickly completed the checkout process, revoked the Gender Transformation status, and returned to his original appearance as Ling Yu, realizing he hadn’t been back to campus for several days.
As Ling Yu set off on his way back to school, the announcement of system rewards echoed in his mind, filling him with joy. Upon arriving at school, Ling Yu first sought out his close friend to celebrate together.
“A Yu, it’s great that you’re back to normal,” his chubby friend began, but before he could finish, Ling Yu raised his glass and smiled, interrupting him. “Brother, why say all that? I’m feeling fantastic right now. Come on, let’s drink a toast to my return!” The atmosphere around them instantly became lively with cheers and laughter.
“You’ve missed quite a bit these days; Liu Ting and Xing Ming broke up again,” his friend continued. “I heard Xing Ming has moved on and found someone new, which hit Liu Ting pretty hard.”
Wang Fei suddenly punched the chubby friend’s arm, scolding him, “Why bring her up?”
Ling Yu felt secretly pleased upon hearing about Xing Ming and Liu Ting’s breakup; he thought he might have a chance now. A smirk appeared on his face as he clinked glasses with Wang Fei. “Brother, let’s not talk about those things today; let’s just focus on our friendship. We can discuss other matters later.”
The next day, Ling Yu went to find Liu Ting. As he passed by her dormitory, he spotted Xing Ming and Liu Jiang downstairs and felt an urge to greet them.
“Don’t get too cocky,” Liu Jiang said. “They just have a misunderstanding; once that’s cleared up, they’ll be back together.” Ling Yu looked at Xing Ming’s haggard appearance and felt a twinge of sympathy.
When Liu Ting saw Ling Yu’s message and came downstairs to see Xing Ming, she directly asked him, “What are you doing here? We’re no longer together.”
Liu Jiang interjected, “He just made a mistake that all men make; it’s not that serious. You should forgive him.” But Xing Ming kept staring at Ling Yu and asked, “Ling Xue is your sister, right? I’m serious about Ling Xue; can you tell me where she is?”
At this statement, both Liu Ting and Liu Jiang were stunned, while Ling Yu secretly reveled in the moment—unsure whether it was because Xing Ming didn’t like Liu Ting or because he himself had feelings for Ling Xue.
“I won’t tell you where she is,” Ling Yu replied. “If Ling Xue wants to see you, she’ll find you herself.” Xing Ming looked very sad at this response, and Ling Yu couldn’t bear it any longer; he pulled Liu Ting away.
Liu Ting said, "I know you're pretending. Ling Yu and I just wanted to provoke you. I know you still have feelings for me. But what you said earlier really upset me. If you continue like this, let's not meet again in the future."
Liu Jiang tugged at Liu Ting's sleeve, "Sister, don't be willful. Our families' union is mutually beneficial; your actions could ruin the relationship between our families." Hearing this, Xing Ming's expression grew complicated. He took a deep breath, as if trying to calm himself.
"I understand the importance of the union, but my feelings for Ling Xue are genuine," he said firmly, looking at Liu Ting as if seeking her understanding.
Liu Ting felt a mix of emotions inside her. She knew Xing Ming was sincere, but she couldn't ignore her family's expectations and arrangements. After a moment of silence, she replied, "I will consider your feelings, but you must understand that love cannot be one-sided." With that, she turned away. At that moment, Ling Yu realized that Liu Ting didn't have any feelings for him at all.
"Ling Yu, I'm sorry, but I don't like you. I've always liked Xing Ming. Whether it's family ties or a union, I won't be with you. I'm sorry for having used you all this time." With those words from Liu Ting, Ling Yu was left with only thoughts of revenge. He wanted to get back at Liu Ting for betraying his feelings.
