It was a bright and beautiful mid summer afternoon. The sun rained down its bright rays upon the surface of the earth, bringing light and warmth to humanity.
People were relaxing at beaches, watching long-legged beauties in bikinis, or chilled out with their girlfriends in parks.
However, for the unfortunate fellows of the Huaxia University's School of Electrical Engineering Faculty's 19th department's 20th class, their fate was to roast in a crowded lecture hall.
The air was so stuffy that it made one's lungs burn, while the fans only served to circulate this hot air around.
If someone were to mistakenly fart under these conditions, wouldn't everyone just suffocate to death?
It was so hot that the lecturer even had to pause her lesson and wipe her forehead with a white handkerchief from time to time, thus, it was to be imagined that this class of university students were not listening at all.
They were in a state of being present in the body, but absent in the mind!
Their only thought was on how the lecture could quickly end so that they could go outside and receive some fresh air!
"Am I understood?" The young female lecturer paused her lesson once again to wipe the sweat off her forehead.
"Yes, ma'am!" A halfhearted chorus was the best she could get.
At the back seats, those ones that were at the highest elevation from the lecturer's podium Xiao Shen sighed as he fanned himself with his book. "Shouldn't this damned lecture be over already??"
He was baking in this classroom, and, if this continued, he would most likely end up as a Dried Shen.
"Heh." A female course mate sneered at him as she brought out a miniature fan and placed it on her desk.
Whirrrr....
The small hand-held fan brought a light breeze and caused her hair to flutter.
Earlier, she had told him to do her a favor so that she could lend him one of her tiny fans, but he had dared to refuse!
_Suffer!_ An evil glint shone in her eyes.
"Tch." Xiao Shen rolled his eyes.
If he, as a guy, were to carry such things about, wouldn't he be labelled as gay by the guys?
Unexpectedly, as he lampooned in his mind, a bluish screen appeared in front of his eyes, along with a slight 'ding'.
[Anchor is using that book as a fan, so genius!]

"What..." Xiao Shen blinked in confusion. He rubbed his eyes, but the screen was still there.
_What the f*ck is this?!_
He waved his hand in front of him, and, as expected, his hand went past his face unobstructed.
There was nothing in front of him!
The female lecturer saw him wave and stopped teaching. "Student Xiao. You have a question?"
"Ah, no! No, no, no..." Xiao Shen chuckled nervously and shook his head. "I was just swatting away a fly, hehe."
The female lecturer rolled her eyes and continued her class.
[Anchor decided to ask a question, but the little teacher was not up to standard!(☉｡☉)!]
[Anchor sure has aura! In her eyes, she is but a mere fly! 🤟]
[I agree!]
[Agreed x2]
[Agreed x3]

"....." Xiao Shen watched as the first screen faded and more screens popped up.
Just what the f*ck was this?!
This time, his hand shot up in the air on purpose, aiming to get a change the lecturer's attention.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at him thinking, why is this guy insisting on disturbing my class this hot afternoon?!
She forced a smile and asked nicely. "Does Student Xiao have a question now?"
"Ah, no..." Xiao Shen shook his head. He scratched the back of his head. "You see, I drank a lot of water earlier and I have to go to the toilet..."
"You may leave." The young lecturer sighed inwardly and nodded her head, completing the rest of the sentence in her heart.
_and don't f*cking return..._
It was already hard trying to impart chemical equations on a hot sunny afternoon.
The last thing she needed was some joker who was busy disturbing her class for fun!
Meanwhile, Xiao Shen left the lecture hall and headed straight for the men's room. There was a small mirror, which he used to examine his face and eyes. "I seem normal..."
He muttered to himself as his gaze shifted over to the bluish screens in his sight.
"But this is definitely not normal!"
He rubbed his eyes once more and even washed them with water. "I couldn't be hallucinating, right?! Ah, why would I hallucinate, even! All I had for breakfast was Youtiao and soy milk!"
At that moment, more screens appeared in his sight.
[Anchor is too smart for the class and directly left!]
[His aura is off the charts!]
[I WANT TO MARRY YOU, ANCHOR!]
[Anchor washes his face like a pro!]
"...." Xiao Shen was speechless.
Really, could someone explain what the f*ck was going on??
He closed his eyes and slapped his cheeks slightly to ascertain whether or not he was dreaming.
He felt the sting and determined that it was real life.
But why the hell was his real life appearing like the plot of some novel or movie?
Was this a system?
Was he suddenly now the MC of a badly written fantasy novel who had a system suddenly appear for no reason?!
Xiao Shen shook his head and cleared his thoughts. "I must be seeing things. It must be the stress."
It was said that too much stress could cause mental strains and hallucinations, right?
He sighed and decided to ignore the weird screens appearing before his eyes.
After all, he could not interact with them, and they did not cause him any harm.
If he ignored them, then maybe they would disappear on their own.
After all, what one did not know would not know them!
He turned to leave the toilet, but paused in his tracks. There was a pressure in his bladder, and it would be best to ease himself now that he had the chance. Lest he returned to the lecture hall and realize that he really had to pee, only to be refused by the lecturer to leave the class.
He was not lying when he said that he had drank a lot of water due to the heat, after all.
"If I hold it so much and accidentally pee on my self, I'd lose so much face that I'll be better off jumping into the Yangtze river!" Xiao Shen said to himself.
However, he soon found it a bad idea as, the moment he pulled out his Little Shen, the screens before his eyes exploded once more.
[Ay ya ya~ Anchor's thing is super cute!]
[That hair... Anchor is a true man!]
[It's rather small...]
[Agreed!]
[Agreed x2]
[Agreed x5]

«[Everyone is staring at Anchor's 'thing']»
[Stop looking at Anchor's thing! Anchor is mine alone! MINE!]
"....." Xiao Shen was completely speechless.
No, he was more than completely speechless.
On this day, Xiao Shen learned what it was like to be struck dumb.
He was dumbstruck!
