Chapter 242 : Prematurely Distributed Saintess's Robe
June 25th, Friday, on this ordinary day, office workers might feel nothing unusual.
But for students, especially university students, today could be considered a very important day.
Because after today's classes ended and spending a 2-day weekend, university students would face a semester's final assessment exams.
Pass the exams, everyone's happy, get a 2-month vacation.
Fail the exams, have to suffer through makeup exams.
Although makeup exams weren't difficult and had a smaller scope than regular exams,
because they required staying at school or arriving early to study, it was still quite unpleasant.
With the mentality of "last-minute cramming helps even if not much," early this morning, countless university students broke tradition by getting up early to engage in forced memorization, wishing they could eat a piece of Doraemon's memory bread.
Just as many university students were busy preparing for final exams,
At 5 AM, fellow university students Su Mo and Lin Muyao had already dressed and reached the main gate of Weiyang Apartments.
As for why they had to go out so early this morning without driving,
The reason was quite simple.
Because yesterday Su Mo had confirmed participating in the 'Taihu Fish Pond' promotional activity with Lin Muyao.
Considering the safety issues of two girls, especially beautiful girls, plus advisor Lu Mingyuan as agent also had "a tiny bit" of interest in fishing, so they had agreed last night to take Lu Mingyuan's car to Taihu today.
Because Su Mo was not only Lu Mingyuan's student, but Lu Mingyuan also served as Su Mo's agent.
Regarding Su Mo's recent experiences, Lu Mingyuan was quite familiar—not only getting a role in "The Great Wilderness Legend," but also crossing industries to establish a clothing store and supermarket with Yun Xia and Chu Tianlan.
Her experiences could be considered quite rich.
Because the distance to Taihu wasn't particularly close,
Due to the somewhat boring journey, Lu Mingyuan simply began chatting with Su Mo during the trip.
Although student Su Mo was somewhat troublesome and brought Lu Mingyuan some problems.
Overall, Lu Mingyuan quite liked Su Mo.
After all, although Su Mo caused many troubles, her carefree and free-spirited attitude of doing whatever she wanted without worries was quite attractive!
Of course, besides this, Lu Mingyuan was also secretly probing.
After all, with finals approaching, Lu Mingyuan couldn't help worrying that Su Mo might give him another surprise near the end.
Hehe~
Throughout the journey, Lin Muyao listened to the interesting exchanges between Lu Mingyuan and Su Mo.
Especially Lu Mingyuan's "I advise you not to cause trouble" attitude and Su Mo's dazed expression when asked about store management experience were too amusing.
Lin Muyao couldn't help laughing aloud.
Near 8 o'clock, the three finally followed navigation to arrive at Taihu's Fishing Harbor Village.
Taihu, as the junction of Su and Hang, was a famous tourist attraction.
Because Su Mo's hometown was in Hangzhou, quite close to here, Su Mo had visited as a child, though this was her first experience draining ponds to catch fish.
As the car stopped at Taihu Fishing Harbor Village, just after getting out, taking a simple look around, Su Mo surprisingly discovered:
Taihu Fishing Harbor Village seemed to be a small village built at Taihu's central highest point, like a lake village. Looking around, water could be seen on all sides, which was quite magical.
Just as Su Mo was curiously observing the clear blue sky and calm, gentle lake surface, a woman in clean, neat OL attire walked over, extending a friendly hand to Su Mo:
"Hello, you must be Student Su Mo. Nice to meet you. I'm the village committee director of Fishing Harbor Village, also the person who invited you. I'm called Yun Shu, just call me Aunt Yun."
Hearing the friendly handshake from the woman calling herself Yun Shu, Su Mo was slightly stunned.
Because Su Mo knew that village committee director was actually equivalent to village chief.
In Su Mo's impression, shouldn't village chiefs be trembling old men with walking sticks and stern faces?
How did the current situation seem somewhat wrong?
Looking at Su Mo drowsily extending one pearly white small hand, her cute and confused expression completely written on her pearly white face in an easily understood, adorable manner,
Yun Shu couldn't help but smile.
As Fishing Harbor Village's village committee director, Yun Shu was responsible for many things, but mainly rural revitalization, industrial revival, and promoting Fishing Harbor Village industries, leading villagers to prosperity.
Recently, with autumn approaching fish season, seeing Su Mo, this girl with rich experience appearing on screen, Yun Shu wanted to use Su Mo for promotion.
As for why choosing Su Mo instead of celebrities,
budget was one aspect, the topic of beautiful girls fishing was another. But what Yun Shu valued most was that unlike ordinary adult girls and female university students nowadays,
Su Mo had a unique aura—a special attractive quality combining pure cuteness and exquisite nobility.
Spiritual energy—this adjective describing ancient wealthy families' naive, sheltered young ladies easily seduced by neighboring scholars appeared in Yun Shu's mind.
Originally from videos, Yun Shu had immediately liked the spiritual Su Mo.
Now seeing Su Mo in person, looking at the little girl's naive, curious appearance, she only felt her fondness grow stronger.
After simple greetings, Yun Shu familiarly took Su Mo's hand, walking toward the lakeside.
Taihu Fishing Harbor Village's lakeside had dozens of naturally formed small lakes, and Su Mo's group's task was to drain water from these lakes to catch fish.
To ensure Su Mo wasn't a shill, when they just got out of the car, the village secretary had already started livestreaming. Worth mentioning was that because the village account had too few followers, Lin Muyao simply contributed her phone to help.
Su Mo looked at these small lakes, occasionally bubbling, looking very exploratory, her peach blossom eyes couldn't help sparkling.
Because they looked very fun.
While Su Mo was interested, Lu Mingyuan on the side was also eager to try.
Just as Su Mo looked at the ponds in distress, like a judge holding the book of life and death,
[Ding, detecting host and host's managing advisor Lu Mingyuan are in the same space. Due to recent resentment toward this male for causing harm to the host, now issuing B-rank mission 'Pond Counterattack']
[Pond Counterattack: Please host achieve dog-eating-mud state for Lu Mingyuan three times during fishing. Mission reward: 800 Challenge Coins (can be exceeded), no failure penalty.]
Hearing this mission, Su Mo's eyes brightened.
Worthy of her little sister system, even starting to actively consider for her big brother.
After silently praising her cute little sister in her heart, Su Mo grinned and accepted this mission, then chose the nearest pond.
"This one then, Aunt Yun."
...
Lin Fan was an ordinary sophomore student. Due to approaching final exams,
he had exceptionally gotten up at 3 AM this morning to review. At 10 AM, with the dual principle of work-rest balance + breakfast + lunch.
While slurping instant noodles, he browsed short videos on Bilibili.
While browsing, he came across a 'fish pond fishing' livestream.
Boys naturally yearned for hunting in their bones. Generally encountering fishing and sea-gleaning livestreams, he would instinctively pause to watch for a bit.
As the livestream view shook, Lin Fan was surprised that today's sea-gleaning livestream subject wasn't burly fitness coaches or scruffy, obviously experienced social people.
But rather a super cute, delicate beautiful girl with porcelain-smooth skin.
Although Su Mo preparing to fish wore black boots and professional protective camouflage clothing with gloves, her hair tied up, just looking at Su Mo's pearly white little face and curvaceous figure, Lin Fan had that intuition.
Just as Lin Fan looked at Su Mo's cute little hands under gloves, worrying whether Su Mo could lift big fish,
Su Mo had already walked to the fish pond. Stepping on the soft, black muddy bottom, she was like a baby just learning to walk, each step very cute.
The pond, already drained to only 40 cm remaining, could now vaguely see fish shadows.
Perhaps Su Mo entering the pond startled the fish.
The next second, before Su Mo began fishing, the small pond already crowded with fish seemed to sense crisis and began rioting.
Many fish began jumping restlessly, some even unluckily jumped directly into Su Mo's fish container.
Three fish, startled from sleep, leaped high,
Duang Duang Duang~
Three consecutive hits directly struck Su Mo's chest.
"Ah~"
With a cute girlish exclamation, due to weighing less than 100 pounds and unstable mud balance, although thick protective clothing prevented injury, Su Mo still successfully fell down.
Seeing this scene of the fisher being bullied by fish right after entering, the livestream chat exploded with "hahaha" comments.
After a small episode, just as audiences thought Su Mo would conduct ordinary pond fishing, they saw Su Mo catch a few fish then walk behind a man frantically fishing.
Seeing the suddenly appearing man, livestream viewers felt somewhat annoyed.
After all, watching beautiful girl fishing was going well when a man appeared, quite spoiling the scenery.
Just as Lin Fan and livestream viewers wondered about their relationship, they saw Su Mo behind the man, like a child about to do something bad, first curl her lips into a cute arc, then say:
"Advisor, there's a leech behind you, I'll help remove it!"
While speaking, Su Mo kicked Lu Mingyuan into a dog-eating-mud pose, then carried her bucket and ran away pattering.
Su Mo's strength wasn't great. Because her foot made contact first before applying force, the kick didn't hurt.
Lu Mingyuan, affected by mud and eating dog-eating-mud, hearing Su Mo's leech excuse and seeing the little girl's guilty escape, clearly knew this was her revenge.
The next second, Lu Mingyuan casually picked up a small fish.
"Take my fish~"
Su Mo, hit in the back by the prank, fell down responsively. Her pearly white little face was now also stained with mud traces, paired with her puffed cheeks looking aggrieved as she went to find Lin Muyao for comfort.
Hahahaha~
Seeing Su Mo's cute little actions and appearance, Lin Fan couldn't help laughing aloud.
In the dormitory's silent study atmosphere, Lin Fan's laughter through headphones was quite abrupt.
Three roommates also suffering from study torture looked over.
Soon, the livestream gained three more viewers.
To prevent himself from not studying while other roommates still worked hard.
Soon Lin Fan's three roommates took out phones, left the dormitory, and began corrupting another batch of studying people.
...
Although Su Mo's chosen pond wasn't large, less than 200㎡, due to only three people working together, although Su Mo had learned some fishing techniques from reading materials and shared them with Lin Muyao, because Fishing Harbor Village had particularly abundant fish, fishing time was drawn quite long.
Fortunately, with villagers' help, before sunset when the sky was about to darken, they finally finished this fishing feast.
Su Mo emerging from the fish pond, wearing protective clothing, had already become a cute little mud person.
Due to thick mud and a busy day, Su Mo with constitution 2, just reaching shore, couldn't wait to remove her stuffy little boots.
Under Slender Jade Feet's passive effect, although logically the boots should have some mud inside, Su Mo's little white feet were like just after bathing—pearly white, tender, and exquisite as figurines.
Five plump nails with cherry pink luster had no trace of mud. Combined with Su Mo's current cute ankle-shaking motions against the muddy surroundings,
this scene was truly like the description in "Love of Lotus": pure in clear ripples without seduction, emerging from mud unstained, straight through center without vines or branches, fragrant and increasingly clear poetry.
But Su Mo, happily finishing a day of fishing, didn't know how attractive and alluring her little feet were.
Because at this moment, Su Mo's mind was continuously echoing with four notification sounds.
[Ding, congratulations host on exceeding 'Pond Counterattack' mission completion, reward Challenge Coins: 1800]
[Ding, detecting current host popularity has reached 5 million, now issuing popularity hidden reward, Challenge Coins 5000, please host continue working hard.]
[Ding, congratulations host, Black Card Loan current debt fully repaid, current host remaining Challenge Coins: 103]
[Ding, due to host's previous debt exceeding 10,000 Challenge Coins, 'Saintess's Robe' has been crafted in advance. Due to Saintess's Robe's uniqueness, to ensure host's continued cooperation with 'Black Card Loan,' Black Card Loan company executives decided to specially distribute this Saintess's Robe as an early gift. Please host check, Black Card Loan company looks forward to next cooperation.]
Hearing her little sister system's consecutive message statements, Su Mo felt incredulous!
So quickly, debt was cleared!
It felt somewhat dreamlike!
However, what was this Saintess's Robe about?
What did "distributed in advance" mean?
Wu... this felt wrong!
