Villain: I Pick Up Rewards Next to the Female Lead

The girl's room had very few items, and one could see almost everything at a glance. Moreover, every corner was tidied up very neatly, making it feel quite comfortable.

"I... I didn't know you were coming, and there isn't much food at home..." Chu Youmeng's expression was slightly tense. After bringing a cup of cool boiled water, her small hands, which were resting on her knees, twisted together. She occasionally wiped her slightly sweaty palms. It seemed she was afraid that her simple hospitality would cause dissatisfaction!

But she really didn't expect Mu An to come to her house! Usually, when she lived alone, she had long been accustomed to frugality. So even the cup for the boiled water was the only one she had at home...

"The girl is very nervous, afraid that you might dislike her. Although she has already put out the best things she can offer, she is still very worried about using her only cup for you!"

[Chu Youmeng's emotion fluctuation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +5000]!]

Mu An was slightly taken aback. His gaze unconsciously dropped. He saw the single-ear cup with a cute little white rabbit smiling icon, and he felt an inexplicable touch in his heart. But he quickly adjusted his mindset. Mu An didn't mind; he lifted it and drank it all in one go.

"This water seems to taste a bit off?" Mu An smacked his lips, seemingly savoring something, and chuckled lightly.

"W-what's wrong with it?" Chu Youmeng's heart raced, and she didn't dare to breathe.

"It's a bit sweet! Just like the scent on you!" Mu An said with a smile.

Mu An, the 'Shadow Emperor', was back in action! And the girl's cheeks instantly turned bright red. Earlier, she had been so focused on preparing the cup for him that she forgot it was the one she used regularly!

[From the girl's shy emotion fluctuation +1+1+1+1+1... congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +5 million]!]

[From the girl's shy emotion fluctuation +2+2+2+2+2... congratulations, you have received the reward [Common Book: One Hundred Ways to Drink Water Seriously]!]

...

"W-well... let's get down to business!" Chu Youmeng fumbled to take out a pile of professional textbooks, trying to divert her attention. She pretended to seriously read the book, using it to cover her burning face as much as possible, so her inner shame wouldn't overwhelm her!

"I've had a long-standing question in my mind: why do you always say 'wo' instead of 'I'? Is it an accent issue?" Mu An wasn't fooled by her act; instead, he smiled and pushed aside the girl's virtually useless test papers. He took her fair little hand and played with it!

From her fingers to her palm, from the lines to the back of her hand, he domineeringly left his warmth everywhere!

The main theme was... bold and reckless!

[As long as I'm not embarrassed, the one who is embarrassed is the other person!]

[Everything is for the emotional rewards!]

Mu An comforted himself in his heart, maintaining a perfectly timed 'bad smile' on his face. Meanwhile, Chu Youmeng had no courage to say anything. After all, being teased by Mu An had completely short-circuited her brain with embarrassment.

The steam girl began to go to work!

Steam rising from her head +1+1+1+1+1+1...

[The girl is shy about your domineering behavior, but it seems she also somewhat likes that you are the one being domineering, emotion fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation Years +5 years]!]

"Chu Youmeng wouldn't tell you that because she often went hungry for a whole day in the countryside when she was a child, let alone eat meat, so she has an inexplicable obsession and fondness for eating 'wo wo' (meat)!"

[Coincidentally, 'I' and 'wo' sound similar, so the girl often unconsciously says the latter, and she has developed this habit over the years, emotion fluctuation +14, congratulations, you have received the reward [Recipe: Ten Thousand Ways to Cook and Eat Various Meats!]!]

...

I = wo = eat wo wo?!

Mu An blinked, as if he had discovered some strange truth. But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for the girl.

"Really, I need to study... your grades, wo (I) am worried..." Chu Youmeng was in a daze, still muttering to herself, not forgetting her original intention.

Mu An raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "How about this! You randomly pick a few difficult questions, and if I manage to solve them, then for every question I get right, you will reward me once!"

"Conversely, if I get one less question right, then I will treat you to an extra meal of meat!"

"How about this bet?"

He felt it was necessary to showcase his abilities so that this little girl wouldn't worry about this and that all the time! Instead of worrying, she might as well focus on preparing for the upcoming final exams!

Of course, the most important thing was that Mu An wanted to take this opportunity to extract some gold coins from the girl!

[As expected of me! Always remembering my mission and original intention!]

Mu An silently praised himself in his heart.

"Um... this..."

Once he said this, Chu Youmeng really thought seriously for a moment. On one side was the embarrassing condition of having to reward him actively! On the other side was the little devil tempting her with the prospect of eating meat!

She was really... so conflicted!

But when she looked up and saw Mu An's half-smiling expression, she seemed to suddenly understand. The power to accept or reject this bet was no longer in her hands!

He really was a domineering 'bad guy'!

The girl bit her lower lip and nodded helplessly.

[From the girl's helpless and shy emotion fluctuation +3+3+3+3... congratulations, you have received the reward [Mental Strength +1]!]

...

"Oh dear, these questions seem quite difficult! I don't think I can do any of them!"

"If I don't look at the book first, I should be able to do them later, right?"

Mu An casually glanced at the more than twenty questions picked by the girl and pretended to be shocked as he said.

Chu Youmeng: "..."

A sound of quantum reading flipping through pages~

"Alright, I've got it!"

Mu An confidently closed the book and then picked up his pen.

Chu Youmeng: "...."

[The girl felt like her IQ was being rubbed harshly against the ground (the kind that makes one feel frustrated), emotional fluctuation +5 +5 +5... Congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +2000]!]

Just when Chu Youmeng was feeling dejected, she noticed that Mu An was really filling in the answers to the questions!

And it didn't look like he was just writing randomly!

His handwriting was also exceptionally neat!

She furrowed her brows and carefully looked through the questions one by one.

Since she had already solved these problems before and was very familiar with the methods, she didn't need to check the reference answers.

But she was shocked when she looked!

Mu An had actually gotten all the questions right!

He used multiple methods! A flashy display of skills!

Moreover, each method's steps were just right, not a single extra or omitted step.

Some of the key points were even simpler and more convenient than her own methods, making her suddenly enlightened!

Was the other party's knowledge level really so high that he could master it just by casually glancing at a book?

Could there really be a super genius in the world who could become invincible just by learning a little?

So impressive!

The girl was utterly shocked.

[The girl felt like her IQ was being rubbed harshly against the ground (the kind of super shock), emotional fluctuation +6 +6... Congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +6000]!]

Soon, Mu An easily conquered the more than twenty difficult questions.

He even felt a bit unsatisfied.

"What a pity, it's a bit too few!"

"At this rate, you already owe me more than twenty rewards, right?"

"I wonder when Chu Youmeng will start repaying her debts?"

Mu An smiled at the girl, like a big gray wolf eyeing a little lamb just within reach.

[This wave of threatening aura is full; the other party's emotional rewards must explode a little, right?]

"...."

As expected, Chu Youmeng's delicate body couldn't help but tremble, shivering.

Had she unknowingly walked into the wolf's den?

[From the girl's shy emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation Years +3 years]!]

[From the girl's flustered emotional fluctuation +7 +2 +5... Congratulations, you have received the reward [Book: Bad Person, Don't Come Over and Bully Me (Hurry Up)]]
