We Are Not the Same

A woman of destiny?

Luo Chuan raised his eyebrows.

Based on his understanding of the system, the female protagonist of destiny is similar to a chosen one of the world, a protagonist recognized by the fate of the world.

For example, Luna is always drawn into various crises, and then she grows by resolving them.

As for this "woman of destiny," she seems to be a lower-ranking replacement for the destined female lead. If I'm not mistaken, she's probably someone with the potential to become the protagonist.

Bingo! You got it right, meow~ But there's no reward, meow~

"If you're going to explain, then explain sooner rather than later. Don't just suddenly jump out and act cute, okay?"

Luo Chuan said irritably.

He touched his chin, and a new deduction came to mind.

Since there are women of destiny, then this world must also have its so-called protagonists.

The villain is a villain precisely because he stands on the opposite side of the protagonist.

It seems I'll need to pay more attention in the future.

Having made up his mind, Luo Chuan then put on his acting skills, revealing a contemptuous smile, and stepped towards the woman of destiny in the pavilion.

"You country bumpkin, you're nothing special."

……

"?"

The sudden words made Xu Xiaojin look up.

What came into view was a boy with a cold smile on his lips.

Although they weren't classmates and hadn't had much interaction during their three years of high school, Hsu Hsiao-chin still recognized the other person.

If I remember correctly...

His name seems to be Luo Chuan.

Because both of them were among the top students in their grade, they often went on stage together to receive awards at the end-of-term ceremony.

More importantly, Luo Chuan and she had the same experience; both were failures who awakened C-level talents and lost their chance to be admitted to the Imperial University of Beijing.

If it's someone who shares the same plight...

Perhaps it will resonate with me.

With this humble thought in mind, Xu Xiaojin met Luo Chuan's eyes with a glimmer of hope.

However, she was met with utter contempt.

"Just because you awakened a C-level talent, you're hiding in a place sighing and complaining. Someone like you, who was able to compete against me back then, really lowered my level."

Luo Chuan pointed at her nose and berated her mercilessly.

"So what if you have a C-level talent? So what if you can't get into a top university in Beijing? You worked hard for three years of high school, finally reaching this final step, and you're just going to back down like this? Are you even human?"

"..."

Xu Xiaojin never expected to be subjected to such insults.

I immediately felt wronged.

We're not that close...

Why say such hurtful things...?

However, Luo Chuan was unforgiving, crossing his arms and looking disdainful.

"During the awakening ceremony, 80% of people can only awaken C-level or lower talents, and only 20% can reach C-level or higher, so it is normal to awaken C-level talents."

"If you can't even recognize this, you should just give up on the exam. You're not qualified to become a transcendent martial artist."

"A C-level talent isn't trash; it's you who's dejected because you awakened a C-level talent that's trash."

Luo Chuan's words were like knives, piercing Xu Xiaojin's heart.

Hsu Hsiao-chin couldn't understand why the other person would do that.

She was already in so much pain, and yet she was still being looked down upon like this.

Is it because I look easy to bully?

"..."

Xu Xiaojin placed her hand on her chest.

Since unfortunately awakening her C-level talent, her life has taken a complete 180-degree turn.

The spot that was originally guaranteed admission to Imperial University is gone.

The teacher's attitude towards her became cold.

Her classmates started making sarcastic remarks about her.

Even her grandmother, who raised her alone, was implicated and ridiculed by the neighbors.

On the other hand, the special admission student became an instant hot commodity simply because he awakened an S-level talent.

No matter how hard you try, you can't overcome the gap in talent.

This world is so unfair.

"..."

Xu Xiaojin bit her lower lip tightly, and her eyes instantly reddened.

She looked up at Luo Chuan in front of her.

The other person's arrogant contempt made her very sad, and she felt an urge to cry.

But at the same time, a strange emotion also welled up in my heart.

Very unwilling.

because……

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter...

"Aren't you just like me?"

Xu Xiaojin suppressed her inner bitterness and mustered up the courage to question the other party.

"You also awakened a C-rank talent, so why are you still able to persist?"

There are also differences between different C-grade levels.

The other party's answer made Xu Xiaojin's eyes widen.

"You can keep wallowing in self-pity here. I'll use my C-level talent to slap the faces of everyone who looks down on me, including you."

After uttering those last words, the man resolutely turned and left.

Xu Xiaojin stared blankly at it.

All that remains is a carefree silhouette.

……

In the end, they slunk away.

Luo Chuan left the courtyard with a tense expression.

I didn't dare to look back at all.

If it weren't for Professor Rhodes's stern and unsmiling personality, he would have been so embarrassed that he would have rolled around in shame, digging a luxurious villa out of his toes.

Strictly speaking, Luo Chuan was not qualified to say those things to Xu Xiaojin.

Because he is different from Xu Xiaojin.

He has cheat codes.

However, Xu Xiaojin is no ordinary person.

As a woman of destiny, she should encounter her own opportunity.

In fact, Luo Chuan had prepared other ideas, but he didn't expect Xu Xiaojin to be so emotionally vulnerable. She looked like she was about to cry after he said a few words to her.

We had no choice but to end the act of kicking someone when they're down early.

Anyway, the mission objective has been completed, and the mission reward has already been credited to my account.

Luo Chuan looked at the system pop-up window.

[Goal achieved!]

[Starting by beating up the lucky girl to tears, taking the first step towards becoming a villain. You're something else! I bet it won't be long before you corrupt her to evil!]

[Fate Points have been awarded.]

Current Fate Points: 10

[The next performance requires 100 Destiny Points]

"Although the evaluation is strange, at least the reward really arrived in my account."

Luo Chuan looked at the Fate Points that had finally hatched and felt very happy.

There are still several goals waiting for him to accomplish.

Although the Fate Points awarded for each objective are not many, they add up to a considerable total.

Perhaps the next performance will begin soon.

……

Lunch break passed by in a flash.

The second part of the martial arts exam, the demonstration of innate abilities, has begun.

The examination venue is located in the gymnasium next to the training field.

The exam was simple: candidates lined up to enter the exam room, demonstrated their talents and special skills in front of several invigilators, and were then scored and evaluated by the invigilators.

When Luo Chuan arrived at the entrance of the gymnasium, the line of examinees had already stretched outside the venue.

However, compared to the basic skills test in the morning, the number of test takers was much smaller.

Clearly, many candidates chose to skip the exam.

Luo Chuan lined up at the back of the queue according to the exam instructions.

The first students to enter the examination room have already left through the exit.

Some are happy, some are sad.

Judging from their conversations, most of the candidates who performed well were those who had awakened their combat talents.

They can directly demonstrate their innate abilities, such as setting fires, generating electricity, and transforming into demons.

You can get a high score as long as you use it.

As for those candidates who failed to awaken their intuitive combat talent...

If even a presentation is difficult, one naturally feels that their performance is poor.

Thinking this way.

After queuing for nearly two hours, it was finally Luo Chuan's turn.
