Heartbeat Hide and Seek, Game Over if Discovered

Justice may be late, but it will never be absent.

Regarding this principle, on this early December day, Su Mo finally experienced it firsthand.

"Student Su Mo, although you simply wanted to play a hide and seek game, during this game, you have seriously affected Su City's order, causing road blockages, traffic congestion..."

In room 1603 of Weiyang Apartments, as the awakened Su Mo covered her once-again burning little bottom and walked out of her small bedroom.

She received her phone handed over by the police uncle and her advisor, along with a profound critical education.

Hearing the two list event after event that occurred during hide and seek—such as traffic police having to work overtime standing guard even at dawn, uncles maintaining public security, and many corresponding public units all being subtly mobilized because of her hide and seek behavior.

For this, as an ordinary university student with correct values, Su Mo felt quite guilty.

Although Su Mo hadn't graduated from university and officially entered society.

Su Mo also knew that making others work overtime was a very sinful thing!

However, Su Mo's guilt didn't last too long.

As time passed bit by bit, gradually leading to the main topic, at 4 PM, Su Mo received two assignments.

One was assigned by police uncle Eagle, requiring Su Mo to make an announcement video.

The content was simple: prohibit others from imitating hide and seek behavior, deeply reflect and write a guarantee letter never to play again.

The other assignment was given by her advisor Lu Mingyuan.

Because during the past ten days, Lu Mingyuan's peaceful life had been disrupted by troublemaker king Su Mo.

To give Su Mo a profound lesson, small punishment... slightly disciplinary Lu Mingyuan finally issued the punishment of makeup classes and writing a deep 15,000-word self-reflection.

Regarding these two assignments, especially the latter 15,000-word reflection, although Su Mo wanted to resist—after all, her previous reflections were always 5,000 words.

But looking at her mom and sister watching like tigers, plus four smiling beautiful girls, Su Mo ultimately didn't dare object and nodded in agreement.

Near 5 o'clock, after the homework assignments were completed.

Lu Mingyuan and Uncle Eagle, after politely declining the Su family's dinner invitation, left Weiyang Apartments.

"Goodbye uncle, goodbye Teacher Lu~!"

Su Mo, lying by the door watching the two leave, feeling her body weak at the waist and knees as if hollowed out, her little bottom burning.

At this time, a big stone in her heart couldn't help but fall, breathing a long sigh of relief.

After all, now the school, family, and police had all come to talk with her and educate her.

It seemed the reckoning was over, and she no longer needed to worry fearfully!

Gurgle~

After seeing off the two, as Mother Su returned to the kitchen and started moving the spatula.

Because during the recent ten days, Su Mo had basically been eating instant noodles and bread, these fast foods. Now suddenly smelling the food aroma, the more relaxed Su Mo's shriveled little stomach couldn't help but issue a cute protest.

Everyone in the room looked at Su Mo's palm-sized face showing an embarrassed expression, and her flat little stomach looking pitiful and charming.

Perhaps Su Mo looking so tearful and miserable was too cute, everyone's faces couldn't help but show smiles.

Chomp~

Having been hungry for several days, as her mom brought steaming hot dishes to the table, after everyone was seated, Su Mo couldn't wait to feast.

Because of excessive physical exertion, Su Mo ate extremely much during this meal.

She directly ate two big bowls of rice, and her deflated little abdomen finally returned to a somewhat cute, soft, and full state.

After eating, because she had just been assigned two homework assignments.

Her sister's hospital matter belonged to business ventures.

Regarding business, Su Mo, who had always been hands-off, expressed complete inability to help.

So after dinner, Su Mo came to the living room, listening to several people's discussions about opening a specialized 'cardiac hospital' while silently picking up draft paper and skillfully writing her reflection homework.

Because Su Mo had been bound to the 'Challenge System' since middle school.

Regarding writing reflections, Su Mo was quite experienced—if not effortless, then certainly skilled.

But unlike previous 800-5000 word reflections, this time it was 15,000 words. It also required a deep impression, which gave Su Mo a slight headache.

While constructing the reflection content, Su Mo also considered another very important question currently facing her.

That was when exactly should she perform time rewind?

Looking at her remaining Challenge Coins in her mind: 120,400

Although 120k+ Challenge Coins gave Su Mo a great sense of security.

But thinking about the ten golden treasure chests she'd opened during Heartbeat Hide and Seek ②.

Each golden treasure chest was worth 10,000 Challenge Coins, and the items from golden treasure chests were worth much more than 10,000 Challenge Coins.

With time rewind, mission difficulty would increase 3-fold, with a certain probability of encounter events occurring.

No matter how she thought about it, Heartbeat Hide and Seek ① after time rewind would be much more difficult than Heartbeat Hide and Seek ②.

So looking at it this way, 120,000 Challenge Coins didn't feel so secure anymore.

To be safe, she should save more.

But the question was how much to save to be relatively safe?

Here, someone might ask: Why must Su Mo use time rewind now? Wouldn't living as a beautiful girl be good?

Regarding this question, Su Mo had actually considered it.

But just now, because Su Mo didn't want to do homework, she inadvertently glanced at her attribute panel and couldn't help but firm her resolve to complete the mission.

...

Host: Su Mo

Age: 19

Average Heartbeat: 49.5

Voice: 8 (Beautiful girlish voice)

Fragrance: 11 (Edible body fragrance, super delicious)

Constitution: 2 (Girl who falls with one push)

Skin: 9 (Cuddle, I want to cuddle)

Charm: 10 (Little enchantress of the human world)

Special Body Skills: Skin Like Congealed Fat, Flower God's Pity... White Rabbit Candy, Charm Mark LV2

...

All the previous attributes and special body skills felt familiar to Su Mo.

But after seeing the last skill, Su Mo couldn't help but have an ominous premonition.

After all, the original Charm Mark didn't have a suffix.

After opening the details page, Su Mo couldn't help but be shocked.

Charm Mark LV2 (45900/100000): Legend says this is a mark exclusive to otherworldly lewd elves. Each lewd encounter strengthens the host's constitution and unfolds beautiful changes. Current LV2: Each lewd encounter increases average heartbeat by 2%, host sensitivity increases by 10%, resistance to lewdness -10%. Progress of all other body skills increased by 500%.

Looking at the upgraded Charm Mark attribute panel.

Su Mo couldn't help but shiver greatly.

Although increasing average heartbeat was good, what about that last line about other progress increasing by 500%?

Didn't this mean that with this mark, her C+ White Rabbit Candy would soon upgrade again?

And sensitivity bonuses clearly evolved her toward becoming a fluff ball.

This mark was still LV2—if it became LV3.

Su Mo felt she would soon become the four beautiful girls' fluff ball.

That wouldn't work!

Just as Su Mo stared at this changed Charm Mark attribute, thinking about when exactly to perform time rewind.

[Ding, detected host's inner confusion about 'Time Rewind' timing. Challenge System warm reminder: host's current popularity value is 124 million, estimated reward when reaching 150 million.]

Hearing this prompt from her sister system, Su Mo's eyes lit up.

If popularity value gave rewards, that would be an additional trump card.

And 150 million popularity wasn't 200 million—it seemed she could achieve it with effort, riding the wind of Heartbeat Hide and Seek.

Just as Su Mo fantasized about beautiful rewards, another prompt sounded in her mind.

[Ding, Challenge System warm suggestion: besides increasing popularity value, the host can also try completing the 'Confused Life' mission before choosing time rewind.]

Hearing this warm reminder, Su Mo was first stunned, then belatedly understood her sister system's intention.

If she used time rewind to return to the very beginning of the mission, she would be an ordinary university student.

At that time, she wouldn't have money to build a hospital for her sister!

And if the 'Confused Life' mission was calculated from the day she accepted it, wouldn't time rewind mean her sister would become yandere in another year and lock her in a little black room?

That wouldn't work!

After the Challenge System's two prompts, Su Mo finally determined her plans for the upcoming period:

Gain popularity for rewards, build hospital to complete mission.

After confirming her recent schedule in her heart.

At this time, Su Mo suddenly noticed something.

Emmmmmmmmm was it an illusion?

Why did it always feel like her sister system seemed to have become more caring?

Really such a caring little cotton-padded jacket for big brother!
