\[Su Xiaoqi: I let you join Shrek Academy not because I wanted you to really join. You may have joined physically, but your heart must not belong to it. Do you understand what I mean?]**
**\[Zhu Zhuqing: I understand.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: Good. After you join, just keep to yourself. Don't go out of your way to build close relationships with anyone. Remember — with anyone. Because, apart from you, no one in Shrek Academy is normal. Or rather, the others all have skewed values.]**
**\[Lu Linglong: What do you mean by that? I don't know about the others, but didn't you just say that Zhuqing owes becoming a god to Tang San's help? That shows he's pretty sincere with his friends.]**
**\[Nami: I think so too.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: @Zhu Zhuqing, tell us your thoughts after watching those few episodes of *Douluo Dalu*.]**
**\[Zhu Zhuqing: My first impression of him wasn't good. Before he transmigrated, he stole from his own sect. After transmigrating, he clearly has the soul of an adult but pretends to be a kid and sleeps every day with that girl named Xiao Wu. Also, I feel like he has a dark side — always threatening others with death over minor things.]**
**\[Zhu Zhuqing: But I do admit, once he became Xiao Wu's "brother," he took really good care of her. In that sense, he's not bad.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: Hmm, very objective evaluation. But you got one thing wrong. They're siblings for now, but they eventually become a couple. Also, Xiao Wu isn't human — she's a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast in human form. She's actually a rabbit. You'll find out more as you keep watching.]**
**\[Zhu Zhuqing: What?! How is that even possible?]**
**\[Gintoki Sakata: Ah... Gin-san has no clue what you're all talking about anymore. Transmigration again? Soul beasts? Rabbits? But most importantly, can siblings even get married?]**
**\[Lu Linglong: Your focus is definitely off, but… I also want to know.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: Let's talk more about Tang San after you all finish *Douluo Dalu*. It's not something that can be explained in just a few words.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: Anyway, don't get too involved with these people. You didn't owe them anything in this life, and even in the original work, although you were part of the Shrek Seven Devils, you were the most sidelined of them all.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: Remember I told you before that there's a part of the story where you all move to Heaven Dou City?]**
**\[Zhu Zhuqing: I remember.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: When you get to Heaven Dou City, that's when you should leave Shrek. By then, you should have finished watching *Douluo Dalu*, and you'll clearly see what kind of people they really are.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: From the moment you join Shrek Academy to when you leave, aside from your daily cultivation, the most important thing is earning points. Points are the fastest way to increase your strength.]**
**\[Lu Linglong: Aren't points only earned through check-ins and selling stuff?]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: Linglong, I'm starting to think the cheat-system novels you used to read are all relics from over ten years ago.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: If the group only gives points through those two methods, then why would the announcement say "Methods of earning points must be explored by yourselves"? That would be redundant.]**
**\[Lu Linglong: Then what other ways are there to earn points?]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: Based on my years of reading novels, in these kinds of chat group cheat systems, changing the original plot usually gives you a high chance of earning points.]**
**\[Lu Linglong: If that's true, wouldn't it be better for Zhuqing not to join Shrek at all?]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: Seriously, I give up on your brain. Now I really wish your bestie Xiaohua had joined the group instead. Explaining to her would've been way easier.]**
**\[Lu Linglong: Sorry it wasn't Xiaohua. Too bad, nyah nyah\~]**
**\[Gintoki Sakata: Weird… Aren't Saiyans supposed to be battle-obsessed idiots? How is your brain so sharp? Gin-san didn't even think of that. This defies logic.]**
**\[Nami: Enough fooling around, you two. Let him finish. This is crucial for all of us.]**
---
**\[Su Xiaoqi: No more talking. I'm tired. Going to sleep.]**
**\[Nami: …]**
**\[Gintoki Sakata: Sleep? Don't you dare! Get up and party, or don't blame Gin-san if I send Shinpachi after you.]**
**\[Gintoki Sakata: Hello? Anyone home?]**
**\[Lu Linglong: @Su Xiaoqi, I'll treat you to a meal later. How about that?]**
**\[Zhu Zhuqing: I'll treat you too. You've told me so much, and I haven't even properly thanked you.]**
\*\*\[Gintoki Sakata: Gin-san has no money, but I can treat you to some of my… \*\*\***.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: Get lost.]**
**\[Gintoki Sakata: See? That got a reaction! Told you Gin-san's methods work.]**
---
**\[Su Xiaoqi: Alright, fine. I'll finish what I was saying. I need to eat soon — haven't had anything since coming to this world.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: First of all, assuming my theory is correct, if Zhu Zhuqing didn't join Shrek, she might indeed earn points by altering the plot. But none of us know how many points that would be. If it's too few, it's a huge loss.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: On the other hand, if Zhu Zhuqing joins Shrek, with her knowledge of future events, she can change the plot any time she wants. Take tomorrow's entrance exam for example — in the original story, they pass by enduring a stick of incense's time against Zhao Wuji.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: So we do the opposite. Let Zhu Zhuqing challenge Dai Mubai. He definitely won't fight her seriously. That way, Zhuqing can vent her anger from all these years, and she might earn points for changing the story. Two birds with one stone.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: As for whether she'll pass the entrance exam — don't worry about it. Shrek is just a second-rate academy with barely any students. Even if Zhuqing's talent isn't the absolute best, she'd still be highly sought after by other schools. No way they'd let her go. Especially with Dai Mubai there.]**
**\[Lu Linglong: That's a great idea. Too bad we won't get to see Zhuqing beat up that scumbag.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: If Zhu Zhuqing earns points tomorrow, you all can follow her example. Fix your regrets and earn points at the same time.]**
**\[Lu Linglong: What about you? How will you earn points? Your world only has you, and there's no plot to change.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: Like I said — gains come with losses. I've already gained Saiyan blood. Even without points, I can grow stronger through hard work. Besides, with only me in my world, even if I become Super Saiyan Blue, what's the point? I don't even know when or if the travel function will unlock.]**
**\[Lu Linglong: If it ever unlocks, you're welcome to visit me anytime. Also, if changing the plot really earns points, I'll give you 30% of whatever I earn — since the idea was yours.]**
**\[Nami: Same here. And if I don't understand something, I'll keep asking you.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: Wow, I didn't expect that — especially from you, the infamous money-lover.]**
**\[Nami: My heart's bleeding here. So in exchange, you have to answer all my questions in the future. Just consider it my consulting fee.]**
**\[Su Xiaoqi: Fair enough. My days will mostly be spent training and chatting in the group anyway. If I see your message, I'll answer.]**
**\[Gintoki Sakata: Since everyone's being so generous, Gin-san will take a hit too. If you ever come to my world, I'll treat you to a night in Yoshiwara.]**
**\[Zhu Zhuqing: Su Xiaoqi, I'll give you half of all the points I earn in the future.]**
