Chapter 600: Chapter 600 It’s Too Late to Say Anything

The System also found itself in a difficult situation, unable to voice its troubles.

Had it known that Ling Qingxue would incessantly provoke Shi Yaoguang after being selected as the new protagonist, the System would have considered its options more carefully.

But now, it was too late.

Even if the new protagonist was a piece of shit, the System had no choice but to stick with her and plaster her up on the wall.

Since there was no other choice, the System could only work hard to train Ling Qingxue, trying to make her presentable enough for public appearance.

...

No matter how much the System trained her, the lost reputation could not be recovered.

After all, Ling Qingxue had indeed shattered her own image.

If she hadn’t set herself up with such an extraordinary and unworldly character, it wouldn’t have been such a big deal.

After all, what’s wrong with being a little self-serving?

That’s normal.

But...

Once she had established that persona, well...

emmmmm.

Face-slapping oneself, how about that?

Those who once liked her for her indifference to fame and wealth now held opinions against her.

They felt like their affections had been cheated.

Some even began to question everything Ling Qingxue did.

Perhaps...

Ling Qingxue’s so-called beauty and talent were also fabricated.

After all, for someone so utilitarian at heart, pretending to be a pure, detached lotus is quite the act.

Maybe her so-called beauty was nothing more than an artificial creation.

In other words...

It was either plastic surgery or makeup.

In summary, it all came down to the same thing: swapping faces.

If she hadn’t switched heads, perhaps she would be no different from anyone else walking down the street.

These claims were, of course, a bit extreme.

But there was no helping it.

Who else could be blamed but Ling Qingxue for hyping her own persona?

It would have been fine if she could have consistently maintained that persona. Then, nobody would have had the right to fault her.

Fake it till you make it.

But...

She had crashed and burned.

And the crash was a complete wreck.

Now everyone knew that her so-called aloof demeanor was a façade.

So, who would believe in her now?

Therefore, it was not unreasonable for people to have other doubts about her.

It was simply a case of her reaping what she sowed.

In the face of all this, Ling Qingxue grew increasingly irate as she watched.

At the same time, her resentment towards the System was growing day by day.

"System, didn’t you brag about being powerful? And what now? You can’t even compete with a human..."

The System was not her mother and naturally wasn’t going to indulge her. "If you don’t want me as your System, you can always opt to unbind from me."

"What do you mean? Unbind?" Ling Qingxue panicked, "I had no intention of unbinding from you!"

She complained about the System, but she never considered unbinding from it.

Without the System, her situation would undoubtedly be even worse than it was now.

Her constant complaints were merely her way of trying to motivate the System to work harder and with more enthusiasm.

Little did she know the System would react like this.

So decisive and ruthless, it seemed almost cruel.

Ling Qingxue complained about the System internally but dared not voice any more criticisms.

She had no choice.

She was just a coward.

Eh.

Seeing that she had calmed down, the System didn’t waste words with her and kept urging her to get to work.

The Top Student Counterattack System began issuing even more challenging tasks.

Looking at these tasks, Ling Qingxue was experiencing pain yet enjoying it.

Originally, the works Ling Qingxue came up with for the competitions were of relatively high standard among her classmates.

But...

Ever since Shi Yaoguang returned, the tasks issued by the System became increasingly perverse.

Every single one drained her energy completely.

Even the alumni in her group would often mock her with ambiguous glances, suspecting her of engaging in indescribable activities at night.

But only she knew what she had done during those nights.

Nonetheless, she firmly believed that hard work was rewarding.

That’s why her mood was even better.

What did it matter if netizens doubted her?

She now had the System.

Even if her beauty was indeed lesser than Shi Yaoguang’s, with the rewards from the System, she could become more and more beautiful.

And then there was the PK Competition.

After completing the tasks issued by the System, she felt that not just students in her own year, but even the senior students might not be a match for her.

With that in mind, she didn’t believe she could lose!

As long as she made a shocking debut at the PK Competition, all those comments online would naturally disappear.

Ling Qingxue even came up with a good idea in her heart.

That was...

to have the internet trolls apologize.

She didn’t know since when, netizens did not have to mind their words when posting comments online.

Even if they blindly followed others and blamed the wrong person, they would not have to bear any responsibility.

All they needed to do was to apologize to the victim online after the reversal of the situation.

Even though Ling Qingxue felt this kind of apology came too late and was pretty much useless,

she couldn’t deny that this method could make her famous.

Originally, Ling Qingxue did not have much desire for fame.

She didn’t care whether a lot of people knew about her or not.

But now...

She cared.

She wanted to trample her enemy, Shi Yaoguang, beneath her feet.

Only by doing so could she prove her prowess.

For this, she was willing to squeeze every bit of her free time.

All to defeat Shi Yaoguang.

So what if Shi Yaoguang was now a Best Actress?

She didn’t believe she could still lose to Shi Yaoguang.

Best Actress? In plain terms, that’s just a performer.

She was different, she was someone who aimed to be the top scholar!

Ling Qingxue believed that in terms of scholarship, she was far superior to Shi Yaoguang.

The only reason she wasn’t recognized was simply because others were not aware of her excellence.

Once they knew, they would definitely praise her and take her side.

She could almost see the scene of being praised by others now, her happiness blooming without need of mention.

...

Shi Yaoguang was totally unaware that Ling Qingxue, even before the competition started, was already enjoying the fruits of victory in her dreams.

Compared to the careful preparations of others, her participation in the competition seemed very casual.

Three competition events, all within her area of expertise.

In the world of fast-transmigration tasks, she had reached the pinnacle in almost every profession.

In such circumstances...

To say that she could crush the contestants from the same period wasn’t an exaggeration at all.

...

Before the start of the Imperial University PK Competition, there was a warm-up segment.

This segment was meant to draw students to the university.

Emperor University is one of the top universities in the country, a palace many students aspire to.

However...

There are universities of the same caliber as Emperor University, and no one would ever complain of having too many talents.

Thus, Emperor University’s PK Competition was expertly set up as a selling point to attract more outstanding students’ attention.

As for those...

not quite up to standard...

What they needed to do was not to wait for recruitment but to strive to reach that admission line.

"Goddess, are you really going to participate in the competition?"

Before the competition began, the news that Shi Yaoguang was going to participate had finally spread far and wide.

It wasn’t a surprise, but rather, someone had disseminated it.
