That morning, Jason began to get ready to attend classes at his campus. For the past few days, Jason had been skipping classes, avoiding meeting Lydia, so he preferred to delve deeper into understanding how the system worked rather than attending lectures.
After several days of skipping, initially, Jason thought there wouldn't be much change in his college life. Until Jason realized there was a beautiful girl waiting for him, only then did he realize that his campus life might change.Brena was standing in front of the campus gate with sharp eyes scanning the surroundings. Her face suddenly lit up when she saw the man she had been looking for finally arrived."Hey, where have you been for the past few days?" Brena asked, approaching Jason with a sweet smile on her face.Jason just glanced at Brena briefly before turning away and continuing his steps.Brena clicked her tongue in annoyance at Jason's disregard. However, she didn't give up because Jason was a kind-hearted person in her eyes.After receiving financial assistance from Jason a few days ago, Brena managed to pay for her mother's surgery on time. Her mother was saved, and Jason was the real savior for Brena. Brena felt indebted to Jason. That's why she was willing to wait for Jason in front of the gate from that moment on."Hey, I've been waiting for you every morning for the past few days. How could you just ignore me when we finally meet?" Brena followed Jason, expressing her dissatisfaction, her behavior truly resembling that of two people who were previously close.Jason sighed deeply at Brena's behavior. He felt uncomfortable because what Brena was doing was really drawing attention.Jason realized that there were now many unhappy glances directed at him, which was normal because Brena was a popular girl on campus.Jason realized that this could potentially turn out bad for him, so he began to think of ways to make Brena stop following him and stop talking to him."I know you're only doing this because you feel indebted to me," Jason said without expression, trying to signal to Brena that her change in attitude was not needed. "The help I gave you before was purely out of my own willingness. So there's no need to feel indebted, and let's just act as usual from now on.""What?" Brena raised her eyebrows. She was surprised to receive a cold response from Jason, something she had never expected before.Jason just shook his head slightly as he walked away, leaving Brena still in shock.[Ding!][Is the Host really going to leave her like that? She's beautiful, how could the Host not be interested?]Jason read the system message with a bitter smile. It was true that Brena was very beautiful. However, taking advantage of Brena just because he had helped her wasn't right in Jason's eyes.Jason even remembered vividly that his relationship with Brena before was really like strangers. They rarely even greeted each other when they passed by. Now, after Jason had helped her, Brena's attitude suddenly changed, even resembling that of a girl in love. Jason realized that this wasn't genuine closeness but merely based on a sense of obligation."How can I take advantage of her when my intention was only to help her? Isn't that cruel?" Jason pondered, hoping the system would hear him.[Ding!][The Super Rich system admires the Host's kindness, 100 Points are sent as proof of admiration!]Jason raised his eyebrows. He didn't know that system points could be obtained in such a way other than helping people."I accept your 100 points. Although the real reason I chose to distance myself from Brena is that I didn't want to be bothered by her fans." Jason said with a faint smile on his face.[Ding!][The System condemns the Host's actions, the Host should have stated from the beginning so the system wouldn't arbitrarily give points!]Jason chuckled softly, finding the system quite amusing because it was so easily convinced. "Everything I said earlier was true, so your point reward was appropriate."[Ding!][The System withdraws its condemnation, what the Host said has some truth to it.]Jason tried to contain his laughter so as not to appear crazy for talking and laughing to himself. It was risky to talk to the system, yet comforting at the same time."Oh, what is this? Our campus loser finally shows up?" Jason raised his eyebrows. The familiar voice really annoyed him. Sure enough, Jason immediately saw Kevin with some other classmates walking towards him.Jason observed them for a moment. Fortunately, Lydia wasn't among them, so Jason didn't have to feel hurt seeing Kevin's affection with Lydia."Take care of yourselves and stop bothering me." Jason said as he continued walking. He didn't want to get involved with them.Seeing Jason wanting to leave just like that, Kevin immediately ran up before grabbing Jason's collar and throwing him to the ground."What the hell ..."Jason immediately got up from the fall. He was angry and almost hit Kevin right there. Fortunately, Jason managed to stop his punch, because if not, he would be the one hit back by Kevin and his friends."What is this? Are you trying to hit me? Loser, is your brain not working just because I took Lydia away?" Kevin pushed Jason forcefully as he said all that.Kevin clenched his fist tightly. Kevin's provocation was really excessive, as if he deliberately wanted to provoke Jason's emotions."What do you want with your fist, Loser? Do you really want to hit me now? Go ahead and do it." Kevin brought his face closer to Jason's, inviting Jason to hit him.Jason, who knew it was just bait, chose to be patient. He understood well that Kevin was trying to create an excuse to hit him without receiving punishment from the campus."Stop doing this. Isn't taking Lydia away from me enough for you? Why do you keep trying to provoke me?" Jason felt disgusted with Kevin's behavior.Kevin immediately laughed after Jason mentioned Lydia's name. "Oh, so it's true that you suddenly became annoying like this because of Lydia."Jason stared at Kevin sharply without expression. He was sure that not only he, but every man in the world would react the same way to someone who made their girlfriend betray them.Kevin laughed as if Jason's anger was just a joke to him. "Relax, I can get Lydia back for you as long as you help me."Jason raised his eyebrows, wanting to know what help Kevin wanted that would make Lydia an equivalent bargaining tool."You know, I saw you walking with Brena earlier ..." Kevin said with a meaningful smile on his face. "What if you help me get close to Brena? I see you know her well enough, so it shouldn't be impossible for you to do that, right?"Jason gritted his teeth. He didn't expect Kevin to target Brena too. Jason, who knew that behind Brena's popularity was just a miserable girl who loved her mother so much, certainly couldn't just let Kevin play with Brena's feelings."I don't want to get back together with Lydia. So forget about helping you get close to Brena."Kevin immediately displayed a frustrated smile, "Alright, I'll do it myself. Besides, what can be expected from a loser like you. I heard Brena will perform at the auditorium this afternoon. Just watch, I'll win her heart today."Kevin quickly ushered his friends to go to the auditorium to prepare. He glanced back to throw a smirk at Jason.Jason had long known that Kevin was a playboy with many women around him. And Lydia had become his victim, so Jason didn't want the same thing to happen to Brena."Doing this is just like helping Brena, right?"[Ding!][Host's words are correct, keep Brena away from scum like Kevin and get rewarded with Points.]Jason nodded in understanding. He now had another reason to do this, so he no longer felt hesitant.Upon arriving at the auditorium, there were already many students there. They were waiting for their turn to enter, proving that Brena was very popular on campus."So it's true, this is her day," Jason said, remembering something after seeing
Seeing someone who had just bumped into him turn out to be Jason, Kevin suddenly gripped Jason's clothing collar so tightly. His pride refused to be insulted by Jason, who was just a loser in his eyes."What's your purpose coming here? Are you deliberately trying to provoke my emotions like this?" Kevin asked angrily. He had already been patient enough when Jason refused to help him get closer to Brena."I didn't mean to, why are you overreacting?" Jason asked, pushing Kevin's grip off his clothing collar."Didn't mean to? Nonsense!" Kevin wanted to do something to teach Jason a lesson. He believed Jason would never learn unless he was made to suffer.Kevin clenched his fists tightly, ready to strike. However, Brena stopped him, causing quite a commotion."Kevin, mind your behavior! Don't you have any ethics to resolve issues with violence?!" Brena said loudly, attracting the attention of the people around them.The conflict between Kevin and Jason immediately became the center of att
"I will." Brena gave her answer, after previously remaining silent.Everyone there was stunned. They were both shocked and disbelieving, knowing that Brena accepted Jason's invitation so easily.What was supposed to be a simple lunch invitation felt like a declaration of love in their eyes, making them angry and envious of Jason."How could this be?""Damn, this makes no sense. I remember how Brena rejected me when I offered something similar.""I don't mind Brena accepting it, but out of all people, why did she choose to have lunch with loser Jason?"With every word spoken, Kevin agreed with them all. Kevin was truly baffled by Brena, rejecting every invitation of his but immediately accepting when it was Jason who asked."Brena, you must be joking. How could you be willing to let him get close to you when I couldn't?" Kevin expressed his dissatisfaction.Brena glanced at Kevin nonchalantly, unwilling to admit that she felt indebted to Jason. Instead, Brena preferred to let everyone'
Jason inhaled deeply the scent of the bouquet of roses in his hand. His efforts over the past month had not been in vain. Now he managed to get the beautiful bouquet of flowers that Lydia, his girlfriend, wanted.For a moment Jason smiled, remembering that he had to scrimp for a whole month by only eating a piece of bread to fill his stomach. For his poor self, buying a bouquet of flowers plus a box of chocolates was a rare luxury.The aroma filled all his senses. Jason smiled broadly and stepped lightly regardless of the sound of his rumbling stomach. After all, he had long since made peace with hunger."Lydia, look, this flower is so pretty! As pretty as you are!" Jason stared at the bouquet of flowers in his hand. Lydia had never said directly that she wanted flowers. But as a good boyfriend, Jason could see the twinkle in Lydia's eyes whenever she passed by the florist.This blonde-haired girl could never take her eyes off the rows of roses in front of the shop. She would even wal
As Jason was puzzling over the message on the screen that appeared in front of him, something suddenly crashed into his body.A truck was speeding past when Jason refused to move out of the way. The truck had no time to swerve or brake, so the collision was unavoidable.Jason was thrown by the impact. He felt his body floating off the ground, his vision spinning before going dark, just as his body hit something."Hey, someone just got hit by a truck!" One of the pedestrians exclaimed, calling for help to the others to check Jason's condition.One of the people around, who happened to be a doctor, decided to help.The doctor shook his head slowly. Jason's condition was really messed up with a lot of blood coming out of the wound from being hit. "Hurry up and call an ambulance, first aid alone won't help his condition!"Those who happened to be around the crash site were immediately preoccupied with what had happened to Jason. Some panicked, while others stared with pity."What happened
The girl named Brena turned her head when Jason said her name. She stared at Jason for a moment, before looking away to continue her argument with the receptionist."Uh, does she not recognize me?" Jason muttered as he scratched his non-itchy head."Miss, didn't I tell you that you have to pay before the surgery is performed?" The male receptionist said in a frustrated tone, Brena's stubbornness making his job harder than usual.Brena put both hands on her waist, the umpteenth rejection did not stop her from persuading the receptionist, "Didn't I also say that I will pay when I have the money?"The receptionist massaged his forehead, "Miss, that's not how our hospital works.""Oh yeah? Then is your hospital going to stand by and ignore my dying mother? Do you think money is more important than someone's life? Don't joke, damn it!" Brena exclaimed in a high tone, desperation and also anger contained in her voice.The argument grew louder, attracting the attention of people nearby. Secu
Upon arriving at the hospital, Jason immediately saw that Brena had not moved an inch from her position. Brena was still curled up with her head bowed between her knees. The girl looked desperate for her life."Hey, Brena."Jason called out to Brena, trying to engage her in conversation. However, Brena ignored him completely.Jason let out a long sigh. The girl's condition really reminded Jason of his own life."Brena, can you hear me?" Jason didn't give up and tried once again to get Brena to talk. But as before, Brena completely ignored him."I just want to help you. But, if you don't want my help, I'll leave."Jason began to prepare to leave, at the same time Brena began to look up. Jason smiled as Brena looked at him, the girl's desperation seemed to make Brena realize that there was nothing she could do without someone's help."Hey, loser. Is what you just said true?" Brena asked, her eyes blank and lifeless.Jason coughed at the way Brena called him, calling him a loser was much
Jason left the hospital area with a small smile on his face. Despite Brena's initial disbelief, Jason felt it was all worth it based on the way Brena looked at him as he left. The guilty look Brena had shown had truly left an impression on him, different from the usual scornful looks Jason received. He then wandered aimlessly, still having his afternoon class. However, he chose not to return to campus as Kevin and Lydia would likely be there."Annoying, the pain I feel when I remember this morning's events is truly annoying," Jason muttered, Lydia's betrayal really hurt him. Despite refusing to admit it, Jason truly had deep feelings for Brena.[Ding!][The System detects the Host's troubled feelings and feels pity.]Jason looked at the system screen in annoyance, unable to believe that there would be a day in his life when he would be pitied by something that wasn't even human."Forget it, I don't need your pity. Besides, I have money now. I'll make Lydia regret it," Jason said. His
