Chapter 5: Lin Tian Apologised

Yu Miaoyu came in angrily and asked: "What happened? What are you fighting?"

She was talking to Lin Tian, but her eyes kept glancing at Gu Junqing suspiciously. In her opinion, Lin Tian didn't look like someone who would take the initiative to cause trouble.

"Teacher, Murong Wan rejected Lin Tian invitation for dinner and in anger, he started threatening her."

"Also when Gu Junqing tried to help her, he said he wanted to teach Gu Junqing a lesson!"

The surrounding students were more than happy to subvert her view.

"Threatening Murong Wan? And when Gu Junqing stood up for her, he wanted to beat him?" The more she listened, the more disappointed Yu Miaoyu's gaze towards Lin Tian became.

[Ding! Yu Miaoyu's favourability for Lin Tian is reduced by 10. Her current favourability with Lin Tian: 0 (stranger)]

{Favourability measure:

-100: Immense Hatred

-50: Very Disgusted

-25: Disgusted

-10: Negative Impression

0: Stranger

20: Good Impression

50: Crush

70: Love But Separable

80: Love Until Death

90: Love Even After Death

100: Eternal Love}

Yu Miaoyu secretly blamed herself for believing Lin Tian even though she didn't know him well. She didn't know that this was the effect of the Protagonist's Halo. The heroines will naturally be attracted to protagonists. Of course, vice-versa is also true. If heroines are like meat buns, then protagonists are like dogs, who start drooling due to mere scent.

"Actually it's fine. Since teacher stopped him and there were no injuries, there's no need to escalate the matter. It's fine if he apologises to Murong Wan and me."

Against everyone's expectations, Gu Junqing chooses to forgive Lin Tian easily.

It's not like Gu Junqing wanted to let him go, but he understood that even if he made the matter big, Lin Tian might not lose much. On the contrary, he might even stumble upon some fortuitous encounters. He obviously didn't want that.

That's why he decided to damage him from a moral point of view. Making a protagonist apologize to the villain, he doesn't believe that it wouldn't damage the protagonist's mentality.

Murong Wan's pretty eyes widened in surprise. Others haven't dealt with Gu Junqing much, so they mightn't know, but she understands him quite well. Although he is quite indifferent towards everyone, in actuality, he has a petty heart. It was definitely not his style to forgive people who provoked him with just a verbal apology.

"This arrangement works. Gu Junqing, I have misunderstood you." Yu Miaoyu sighed in relief. A peaceful resolution is the best resolution; of course, she was happy if things settled down with just an apology. However, like Murong Wan, she was also surprised that Gu Junqing was willing to leave this matter alone.

"Teacher, it seems like you have a bit of prejudice against me." Gu Junqing looked into Yu Miaoyu's eyes and said with a small smile.

Yu Miaoyu couldn't find words to reply to him, causing her face to blush in sheer embarrassment.

She coughed lightly to ease the embarrassment seeing that everyone was looking at her, and said, "You are thinking too much. As a teacher, everyone is same to me."

Speaking so, she didn't wait for his reply and quickly looked at Lin Tain, saying sternly: "Lin Tian, quickly apologise to Murong Wan and Gu Junqing!"

Ling Tian's face was pretty ugly at the moment. He had thought that he was strong enough to fight against Gu Junqing, so why did he have to apologise to him all of a sudden?!

He gritted his teeth, very unwilling to apologise.

"Lin Tian!" Seeing that he was unwilling, Yu Miaoyu exclaimed.

Lin Tian was helpless. He calmed down and thought about who he was facing—the prince of Jiangling City. Since apologising was enough to make Gu Junqing back down and not pursue the matter, then it was fine once!

At the end, he bowed his head and said to Murong Wan: "Murong Wan, I apologise, I shouldn't have threatened you."

Murong Wan didn't reply to him. She was already very disgusted with him, and nothing he would do will change that.

"There's me too." Gu Junqing reminded.

Lin Tian clenched his fist and said lightly: "I am sorry."

Although his voice was calm, his trembling body showed that he was trying his best to restrain himself. Apology to Gu Junqing was obviously unbearable in his opinion, no matter how logical it might be.

Actually, it's not just against Gu Junqing. As a protagonist, how could he bow down to anyone? If others do wrong, they have to kowtow and apologize. But if he does something wrong and is forced to apologize, then ultimately, it is him who was wronged. That's his mind process.

"Okay, everyone go back to your seat, the next class is about to start." Yu Miaoyu was obviously extremely satisfied with the peaceful resolution of this matter.

[Ding! Heroine Yu Miaoyu's favourability toward the host has increased by 20. Current favourability with host: 20 (Good Impression)]

The surrounding students all returned to their seats.

On the way, Gu Junqing whispered to Lin Tian when no one was watching, ​​"I like the way you don't like me, but you can't do anything other than apologising, haha!"

Smirking, he returned to his seat as if nothing had happened.

On the other hand, Lin Tian's body was trembling in rage and humiliation.

[Ding! Host causes damage to Lin Tian's mentality! Lin Tian's Protagonist's Halo -50, Host's Villain Halo +50. The host gets 1000 Villain Value]

The corners of Gu Junqing's lips raised slightly. He has already figured out that it was best to harvest a less threatening like Lin Tian slowly rather than quickly. If his estimation is correct, then the next few protagonists were either God of War or Miracle Doctor or even Immortal Emperor's rebirth. Needless to say, they weren't easy to deal with.

However, his combat powers were already above Lin Tian, so he didn't need to worry about him. He wanted to use this period to accumulate Villain Value and gets stronger in order to prepare for stronger upcoming protagonists.

At this time, Murong Wan, who sat right before him, turned around and looked at Gu Junqing with a hesitant face. After a moment, as if coming to a decision, her rosy lips parted, and a voice akin to a mosquito buzz exited out, "Thank you for helping me earlier."

Because she had just confronted him this morning and now received his help, she was a little embarrassed, and her face couldn't help but infuse with a shade of pink.

Gu Junqing waved his hands and replied dryly: "Don't mention it. I did it just because he was disturbing me when I reading, I didn't do it for you. Even if others were at your place, I would still speak out."

Hearing this, Murong Wan's expression changed slightly. She snorted and turned around.

Just when Gu Junqing thought that maybe he played a little too hard, System's sound entered

his ears.

[Ding! Heroine Murong Wan's favourability towards the host has increased by 20. Current favourability: 20 (Good Impression)]

As he had thought. A woman like Murong Wan are already used to people licking her. That's why Gu Junqing's current cold attitude is a breath of fresh air to her. While his attitude would make others repulsive, Murong Wan is attracted instead.

'As expected, licking dogs have no future. A woman like Murong Wan shouldn't be loved, she should be conquered.' Gu Junqing chuckled.

As the classes resumed, he checked out the overall haul of Villain Value till now. A quick check showed that he had 5000 Villain Value. He opened the Mall and browsed through the catalog, but he shut it off after a momentary glance. It was because even the cheapest thing there was worth 10,000 Villain Value!

[Ding! Friendly reminder: Host can now draw Lottery.]

System reminder came right when Gu Junqing thought about Lottery.

'Well, how much does a Lottery cost?'

[A draw of Lottery costs 1000 Villain Points.]

Gu Junqing decided to draw Lottery five times in succession.

[Ding! The host draws 100,000,000 Yuan in cash!]

[Ding! The host draws a sheep!]

[Ding! The host draws Golden Emperor's Inner Canon]

[Ding! The host draws a bottle of buffalo milk!]

[Ding! The host draws a Combat power value of 60]

…

Hearing the last prompt, Gu Junqing finally breathed out. He didn't have much hope, knowing full well that Lottery is nothing but a bottomless pit! But thankfully, it seems like he got lucky. Although he doesn't know what Golden Emperor's Inner Canon is, just the additional Combat power value of 60 justified spendings 5000 Villain Values.
