"What do you mean just right?" Gu Zheng suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
"I have been afraid of ghosts since I was a child. I want to watch a horror movie but I don't dare to watch it alone. Since you are not afraid of ghosts, why don't you watch one with me?"
Han Zhou turned on the TV and projected the screen on his phone onto the TV. Creepy music flowed out, and Guzheng's scalp immediately numbed.
[Daily Task 2 (Guzheng): Make the target fall into a state of accelerated heartbeat ten times 10/1, you can get point]
"Watch...a horror movie?" Guzheng clenched the Coke can in her hand and swallowed secretly.
Han Zhou pretended not to see it and said helplessly, "Well, you know, I don't have many friends. Lin Anyu is the only one who is bold, so you are probably the only one who is willing to watch a horror movie with me."
"Why do you think I will watch it with you..."
"If you're afraid, forget it. I won't force it."
"I told you I'm not afraid!" Gu Zheng quickly retorted.
"So, class monitor..." Han Zhou was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at her and asked in a sad voice, "So you simply don't want to watch it with me?"
Damn guy, still pretending to be pitiful!
Gu Zheng was angry, but she just fell for it. After hesitating for a while, she said reluctantly, "Then... I'll accompany you to see it."
"Anyway... I'm not afraid!"

Chapter 3 My mother agreed to our relationship
Being tough-talking is the monitor's greatest characteristic. How come he doesn't have any ready-made skills?
More than an hour later, Han Zhou looked at the two completed daily tasks with satisfaction, thinking that watching horror movies was indeed the quick way to complete the squad leader's daily tasks. It was a pity that he had not thought of it before.
He knew Guzheng. This girl had an extremely strong competitive spirit. Throughout her three years of high school, she wanted to be the best in everything, including grades in various subjects, various competitions, and even in sports, which girls were not very good at.
Gu Zheng is indeed very good. Apart from her unpleasant temper, she is very outstanding in both academics and sports, and class activities are well organized.
However, this guy has a weakness which is not a weakness. That is, as long as she is asked what she is afraid of, this guy will deny it outright like a conditioned reflex, and he will be stubborn to the end and refuse to change his words.
Thinking of this, Han Zhou shook his head secretly. The task of accelerating heartbeat was completed just a few minutes before the horror movie started, which meant that Gu Zheng must be scared to death.
But the amazing thing is that even though this guy was so scared, he was able to remain calm and didn't even scream. This should be considered a gifted talent, right?
However, when Han Zhou noticed that Gu Zheng's face was pale, her eyes were almost dull, and she looked like she was almost scared to death, he realized that he was overthinking it. At the same time, he silently gave up the idea of dragging her to watch a horror movie every day in the future.
He could earn points, but he didn't treat the squad leader as an NPC. It seemed that for the sake of the latter's physical and mental health, this method was not recommended.
"Squad leader, squad leader?"
"Ah, ah?" Guzheng was a little distraught.
"I said, are you scared silly?"
This sentence was obviously more effective than any panacea. Gu Zheng came to her senses in an instant and said loudly: "What a joke, I'm just recalling the plot!"
"Oh?" Han Zhou pretended to be confused and asked tentatively, "I didn't dare to look at it just now. Can you tell me what the plot is?"
Gu Zheng's expression froze, and she stammered, "That's right, that's right, when we were in the hospital..."
"I see. Are you wondering about the identity of that fat doctor? I think he's weird."
"Yes, that's it!" Gu Zheng nodded quickly and said in agreement, "He's so weird."
However, Han Zhou was just saying it casually. In fact, there was no fat doctor in the movie at all.
However, he did not expose it. Instead, he was determined not to drag the monitor to watch horror movies anymore. This guy was even more timid than he thought. He kept his eyes open the whole time but didn't understand the plot. What kind of special ability was this...
At the same time, Gu Zheng turned her head sharply like a dog smelling something and stared at Han Zhou for a moment: "What are you laughing at?"
"Did I laugh?"
Han Zhou looked normal, but he was shocked in his heart. If I could be discovered laughing in my heart, could it be more exaggerated?
Gu Zheng frowned slightly, and somehow she was sure of what she was thinking, and said viciously: "Are you laughing at me?"
"No." Han Zhou pretended to be confused, "Why would I laugh at you?"
"you……"
Gu Zheng wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly a Fetion message popped up on the TV. It was a person with a cute white cat avatar and an ID called Xia Tian, with a sentence below.
"My mother has agreed to our relationship. Please come to my house tomorrow. I can't stand it anymore..."
The message after that was folded, but even with such a short sentence, the two people in the room held their breath at the same time.
Oops, I forgot to exit the screen casting...
Han Zhou's face was dull. Xia Tian was the high school girl named Mo Yixia. Although the meaning of any words should be interpreted in context, he still suspected that the girl did it on purpose...
Suddenly, Han Zhou felt something and looked up, only to see Gu Zheng standing in front of him, looking down at him. She put one hand on her waist, leaned over and pressed his mobile phone, stopping him from exiting the screen projection, with a half-smile on her face.
"Agreed? Can't stand it anymore?"
Han Zhou's heart tightened. Usually, when Gu Zheng showed this smile, it meant she was going to hit someone.
But he quickly realized, that's not right, why should I feel guilty? Guzheng is not my girlfriend, even if I am innocent!
Guzheng seemed to realize this quickly. She returned to the sofa without saying a word, staring at the TV, and also punched the sofa pillows, making "bang bang" sounds.
It seemed that even if a ghost jumped out on TV, she would still want to see clearly what message that guy named Xia Tian would send her.
Han Zhou knew at a glance that the other party was unhappy, so he quickly explained the tutoring matter and showed the chat history to the other party.
The message just now was folded, and there are actually a few more sentences behind it.
"My mother agrees with our relationship. You can come to my house tomorrow. I can't stand it anymore. Remember, if you want to make more money, just listen to me. My mother is too annoying. As long as you give me a little free time every day, I will let you stay."
Gu Zheng stared at the phone for ten seconds, pondering the entire sentence word by word, then turned her head away and sneered, "Who wants to read your chat history!"
Han Zhou was too lazy to pay attention to her. After thinking for a while, he replied with "OK".
Gu Zheng was obviously in a much better mood. She glanced over here and said casually, "How did you respond?"
"I agreed."
Han Zhoudang’s main task is to make Mo Yixia not hate him. He just needs to give her some free time. This way, she will be happy and he can also gain some goodwill. As long as it does not affect his studies, why not do it?
Besides, he really needs the money.
Han Zhou was born in a single-parent family and has never seen his mother since he was a child. His father, who raised him, was a gambler. After learning that Han Zhou had a terminal illness in his second year of high school, he disappeared, leaving behind only an old house and a sum of money.
Han Zhou never blamed his father. After all, he was raised by his father, and he didn't want to burden anyone else with his terminal illness. Therefore, he never deliberately publicized the matter, nor did he look for his father in any way.
Of course, understanding is one thing, but not blaming does not mean forgiveness. For Han Zhou, living alone is not a difficult thing.
Besides, it’s not like there aren’t people who care about him.
For example, Lin Anyu's family is in the catering industry, and the store actually has no shortage of people, but he still squeezes Han Zhou in to work "part-time" during every winter and summer vacations. He does easy work but earns a lot of salary.
The teachers and classmates also take good care of him. Of course, it would be better if they didn't say he was a bootlicker.
Han Zhou kept all these good intentions in mind, and it was precisely because of these that he wanted to work harder to survive.
Gu Zheng was of course aware of Han Zhou's family situation. After thinking for a while, she muttered, "Then you better not teach him bad things."
She turned her head to look out the window. The dazzling sunlight made it difficult for her to open her eyes. After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked, "I remember you also applied to Lincheng University, right?"
"Yeah." Han Zhou put his phone in his pocket. "It seems like you've asked this question at least five times."
"Did I ever ask why?"
"what?"
Gu Zheng took a deep breath and said, "With your grades, you can obviously choose a better school."
"Is it really okay for you, the number one, to say such things?" Han Zhou, who was always the runner-up, sighed. He still failed the guzheng test in the college entrance examination.
“I just wanted to be closer to home, and Lincheng University is pretty good.”
Han Zhou smiled and said, "I think so too."
Gu Zheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned around and looked at him for a long time, her tone was rarely hesitant: "Is there... no other reason?"
"Yes, I have."
Han Zhou stretched and said nonchalantly, "Haven't I always said that I can't live without you, so I have to choose the same school as you."
This is true. Not to mention that Guzheng is the only unlockable character when applying for college, and she is indispensable to save her life. Being assigned to a different university is really too much of a hassle.
Even if we take a step back, even if we encounter new unlockable characters in the future, it is still unknown whether we can establish a relationship with those people. Maybe no one will even bother with us, let alone gain points.
On the other hand, the class monitor is quite reliable. It is the easiest and simplest to ask her to earn points, and she is also very cooperative.
Of course, the relationship between the two was already good, and they went to the same university and had each other as companions.
Guzheng took a deep breath.
Although it was not the first time she heard such nonsense, her heart still skipped a beat when she saw Han Zhou's serious expression. She didn't know why, but she suddenly became angrier and angrier. She grabbed the pillow on the sofa and threw it at his face.
"I told you to stop talking nonsense!"

Chapter 4 Versatility
"These days, no one believes the truth..."
Under the security guard's surprised gaze, Han Zhou touched his nose and walked out of Huadu Community, taking the subway to go home.
As expected of a person with a physical strength of seven points and the skill of "good at throwing", even throwing a pillow on the guzheng almost made him stare at him, and his nose is now aching.
Although it was already afternoon, the temperature was still hot. Han Zhou returned home sweating profusely. He first made a quick meal with the food in the refrigerator, and then took a hot bath.
The fan was whirring, barely dispelling some of the heat. He sat in front of the window, silently thinking about his future plans.
Of course, earning points is the top priority, but in addition, you have to find ways to make money. Although Lincheng University is located in Lincheng, it is at the very edge of Lincheng City and borders Fen Province, which is almost out of the province. It takes about half a day to go back and forth, and you will definitely have to live on campus.
The cost of living on campus in college is not too low. His father left not much money when he left, and he has almost spent it. Even though he has saved some money from his part-time job, it is only enough to cover daily expenses, which will definitely not be enough over time.
Putting aside tuition fees and stuff, he also has to get a new phone before school starts. Although everyone around him is used to it, taking a broken-screen phone to school will definitely attract some unnecessary discussions. What's more, this phone is a second-hand one given to him by his father after he entered high school, and it is no longer usable.
Ever since his gambler father became addicted to gambling, he has hardly bought anything for the family, so the family has been using fans until now, and Han Zhou is reluctant to spend money to install an air conditioner for the time being.
As for how to make money, Han Zhou currently does not have a very clear plan. He did have the idea of starting a business in his previous life, but unfortunately he died before he could put it into practice. The development trajectories of the two worlds are similar, and it is not realistic to use the advantage of "foresight" to make money.
