Chapter 1542: Chapter 457: Surprise
"I always feel there’s a trap..."
Yan Huan was pondering the task he saw last night all morning while sitting on the school bus from the South District.
It’s not that the task has any harsh conditions; on the contrary, Yan Huan feels there’s something tricky because:
It’s too simple.
Just participating in the election gives you five coins, the same amount for reconciling Ye Shiyu and other female leads?
But comparing the difficulty...
Could it be the "reward task" is so valuable?
Yan Huan scratched his chin for quite a while but still couldn’t figure out where the pitfall in this task is.
At that moment, Yahashiki got on the bus.
"Morning, President."
"Morning, Yahashi."
He familiarly sat next to Yan Huan, took out his earphones, and started playing a mobile game.
Yan Huan glanced over and found he was playing a new game again.
Looking at the interface that didn’t seem much different from the previous game, Yan Huan asked puzzledly,
"Isn’t this game similar to the last one?"
"Well, indeed... Games are pretty much just those same mechanics over and over, not much innovation."
"Then why are you still..."
Upon hearing this, Yahashiki adjusted his glasses and declared solemnly,
"But there are new characters that match the x-axis!"
"?"
"Look, like this character: white-haired, red-eyed, flat-chested, fang, twin-tailed vampire, an old and immortal little brat with a Japanese loli style. You get it?"
"Wait, wait, what the heck is this?"
Listening to Yahashiki reciting a long string of contradictory tags as if he were listing dishes, Yan Huan’s face turned dark.
"Heck?! "
But Yahashiki wouldn’t let it go.
His eyes unexpectedly burst into flames, he locked the phone screen and grabbed Yan Huan’s hand loudly,
"This is a loli, President!
"And not just any loli, but an older vampire loli mommy!!
"With a cute and innocent appearance, yet unknowingly reveals a weary look; mature and caring personality, yet makes cute remarks like ’small fry, small fry’...
"The young body of the child bears the soul of the everlasting, just like stuffing chicken wings or wrapping meat in dough, it’s the culmination of human wisdom!
"Previously, only a few refined authors realized the genius of this concept, which was really a pity.
"But this new game introduced such a character, making me immediately realize:
"The designers of this game must be veterans of the 2D loli circle!"
Yan Huan raised an eyebrow, really wanting to ask, "Should I electrocute you or follow procedure?"
But his peripheral vision caught something behind, causing him to sigh, pointing behind Yahashiki,
"Hey, Yahashi..."
"Huh?"
At this moment, the impassioned Yahashiki seemed to realize something, turned around in a daze.
Only to find the freshmen behind him pinching their noses, looking at Yahashiki with disdainful expressions, as if they were seeing some bizarre creature.
As for the seniors?
Well, they’re already used to it and have always wisely taken seats at the front.
"..."
At this moment, even as everyone’s gaze seemed tangible, resting on Yahashiki, he opened his mouth but slowly turned back to Yan Huan.
Like a martyr, he spoke tremblingly to Yan Huan,
"Loli is good culture, President!!"
"Go to hell!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Huan couldn’t hold it any longer, and slapped Yahashiki’s face.
...
...
"President, all the candidates have started their warming up activities..."
Inside the school, Yahashiki, now with a palm print on his face, appeared unbothered, but instead reminded Yan Huan.
Following his reminder, Yan Huan looked ahead and indeed saw two diligent third-year boys handing out pamphlets.
Yan Huan was familiar with this tactic.
As mentioned before, the essence of the election is to attract attention and gain recognition from others.
So naturally, any means can be used.
Filming vlogs online, organizing small games at school, etc.
That’s why no one found An Le’s support website strange earlier on, and they all assumed it was part of Yan Huan and Yahashiki’s campaign strategy.
"Should we come up with some countermeasures?"
Hearing Yahashiki’s words, Yan Huan glared at him,
"You know and still fool around on the bus? People who don’t know might think we’re electing for the student council to preach your loli doctrine!"
"Well... with a dialectical view, it’s not entirely negative. Maybe we could attract some like-minded voters?"
"Haha..."
If there’s another one like you in this school, I’ll be eaten by An Le at night.
But indeed, knowing now that winning the presidency offers 15 crab coins, Yan Huan wouldn’t relax and needed to study carefully.
Previously, Yan Huan briefly looked at the application forms and saw eleven groups participating.
Among them, the ones really worth paying attention to...
"Hey, President, look..."
"Hmm?"
Just as Yan Huan was thinking, Yahashiki beside him tapped his shoulder.
Yan Huan raised his eyes and saw a group of students gathered at the entrance of the first-year building.
"Everyone, don’t crowd! There’s enough for all!"
Among them, Yan Huan also saw Mori Yana, Ye Shiyu’s little fan from the Sewing Club, maintaining order.
Could it be...
"Let’s go and take a look."
Yan Huan headed over, and thanks to his height, his gaze easily crossed over the crowd to see inside.
There on a small table were some "campaign flyers," along with some freebies like candy, sample perfume, and autographed postcards from a certain actress.
