The ultimate evolution of the pretense system

On that overly bright and sunny afternoon, at 1:25 PM, the campus was like a giant pile of firecrackers that had been lit, exploding with excitement. The reason for all the commotion stemmed from Ye Qiu's Heaven-Defying performance in yesterday's competition.

His display had shocked all the teachers and students, making them feel as if their Souls had emerged, leaving them disoriented.

Early this morning, when Ye Qiu, humming an out-of-tune song, strolled leisurely into the campus, he instantly felt gazes from all directions, like searchlights, fixating on him.

He occasionally caught snippets of conversation: "Look, that's Ye Qiu! He was incredible in yesterday's competition!"

Good heavens, in just one night, his name, Ye Qiu, had skyrocketed, becoming the undisputed central figure in campus legends, enjoying unparalleled popularity.

Ye Qiu stood at the campus entrance, took a deep breath, puffed out his chest, and felt delighted, muttering to himself, "Hehe, it seems my show-off system has quietly upgraded again.

From now on, life is going to be as thrilling as a crazy roller coaster every day! Maybe I'll even encounter things that science fiction novels wouldn't dare to write about; just thinking about it makes my blood boil!"

A short while later, at 1:30 PM, Ye Qiu ambled into the classroom.

As soon as he sat down, he heard a crisp "ding" from the System panel, a sound identical to the notification for receiving a super rare quest in a game.

It clearly listed the new mission:

"Today's Mission:

Demonstrate the Golden Eyes ability during physics class.

Unlock the God of Science title.

Create a mass shocking event."

Ye Qiu looked at the mission, a sly, mischievous smile playing on his lips, as if to say this mission was as easy as squashing an ant: "This is a piece of cake; just watch me display my Divine Ability in physics class later!

Everyone will be so shocked their jaws will drop to the floor, and they won't be able to pick them up."

After saying this, he deliberately cleared his throat with a loud noise that seemed capable of breaking through the roof and attracting the attention of the whole world.

Several classmates around him looked over curiously, and he immediately put on a serious face, as if nothing had happened, primly opening his textbook.

However, the triumphant glint in his eyes completely betrayed his inner calculations.

At 1:35 PM, physics class began promptly.

The teacher stood at the podium, passionately lecturing about the complex formulas on the blackboard, which looked like mysterious alien runes, spitting as he spoke, wishing he could glue every point of knowledge into the students' brains.

Ye Qiu, at first, pretended to listen, his eyes on the blackboard, a pen in his hand, occasionally nodding sagely as if deeply contemplating the mysteries of the Universe.

In reality, he was already figuring out how to coolly display his Golden Eyes ability.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, and a golden light shot out from them with a "whoosh," moving as fast as lightning enhanced by the Flash, instantly illuminating the entire classroom as bright as day.

"Mass shock detected! prestige value + 299!" The System's notification exploded in Ye Qiu's head like a bombshell, startling even him.

Looking at the blackboard again, the formulas seemed to be struck by a super spell, instantly decomposing into countless small data points.

Immediately after, these small data points, like a group of well-trained, disciplined little soldiers, marched in unison, automatically arranging and combining, and in the blink of an eye, transformed into a perfect, almost unreal mathematical model.

The teacher and students were all dumbfounded, their mouths agape, probably wide enough to fit a large watermelon.

An impatient student directly jumped up from his seat, pointing at Ye Qiu, his voice distorted by shock: "You... you must have activated a super cheat! How is this possible?

I've been studying for a long time and am still confused, but you solved it in an instant?"

The classroom instantly became like a lit powder keg, exploding into chaos.

Students whispered amongst themselves, their faces full of suspicion, guessing whether Ye Qiu had received mysterious power from outer space.

Others, like fanatical followers, swarmed around Ye Qiu, eager to dissect him and uncover the truth.

At 1:40 PM, after Ye Qiu, like a triumphant general returning from a glorious campaign, finished demonstrating his "divine skill," the entire classroom fell into a terrifying silence.

It was so quiet that time seemed to freeze, and even the sound of a pin dropping could be infinitely amplified.

The chalk in the teacher's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," without warning, his eyes wide as copper bells, stammering: "This... this simply defies scientific logic, it's incredible!

Student Ye Qiu, can you explain in detail how you did it?"

Ye Qiu was already overjoyed inside, almost snorting with laughter, but on the surface, he feigned composure, lightly coughed, and slowly said: "Oh, it's nothing much, just the result of diligent study.

I just had a sudden burst of inspiration and understood it all at once."

In reality, he was already fantasizing about swaggering through the school, an unchallengeable figure: "Now I'll truly have everything I want in school!

Who would dare to look down on me even a little bit from now on?"

At 1:45 PM, as soon as the bell rang for class dismissal, students surged like a raging tide from all directions, surrounding Ye Qiu so tightly he couldn't move.

One pulled his arm, eagerly asking how he did it; another clasped their hands together, begging him to impart his "exclusive Secret Manual."

Some even, treating him like a super scholar, devoutly took out notebooks, ready to record every word of Ye Qiu's "Secret Manual to Becoming a God."

Ye Qiu was squeezed, his face flushed like a ripe tomato, fending them off while secretly complaining in his mind: "You guys, when you used to doze off in class and copy answers for homework, why weren't you so eager to learn?

What were you doing then? Now, you're all like cats smelling fish, crowding around to ask me."

Finally, after the students gradually dispersed, Ye Qiu stood at the classroom door, let out a long breath, and prepared to catch his breath.

Suddenly, his eyes casually flickered, and he saw a girl at the end of the corridor slowly tidying her schoolbag, while another girl was on the phone with her boyfriend, chatting animatedly and passionately.

Ye Qiu's head heated up, as if possessed, and he couldn't control his Golden Eyes again; a golden light shot out with a "whoosh."

"Mass shock detected! prestige value + 299!" Ye Qiu's head buzzed, and a strong sense of dizziness came over him like an avalanche.

He then suddenly remembered the side effect of the Golden Eyes; he would feel dizzy for a while after each use, a sensation like drinking ten bottles of strong liquor, his head heavy, the world spinning.

He endured the discomfort, muttering: "Oh no, I overdid it again; I need to control myself next time.

If I keep using it so indiscriminately, I'll be worn out by this ability."

But his feet still wobbled forward as if he were walking on soft cotton, like a child who had just learned to walk and hadn't mastered balance, drawing strange looks from passing students, some of whom couldn't help but chuckle.

At 1:50 PM, Ye Qiu walked home, his mind replaying the "highlight moments" of the day at school like a high-definition movie.

He knew he was now a prominent figure on campus, his fame rivaling that of a campus celebrity, but he, in his bones, preferred to keep a low profile, not wanting to be too ostentatious, as being too high-profile easily attracted unnecessary trouble, like the saying goes, the nail that sticks out gets hammered first.

Just as he was thinking, he passed a small park, and his eyes uncontrollably shot out another golden light.

This time, the unfortunate recipients were a couple sweetly strolling in the park.

The couple jumped as if electrocuted; the woman shrieked and clung tightly to the man, as if he were her lifeline; the man, wary like a scout, looked around, trying to find the source of this mysterious light.

Ye Qiu quickly covered his eyes, like a thief caught in the act, filled with regret, his intestines almost turning green: "What's wrong with me?

This Golden Eyes is like an extremely mischievous child, popping out whenever it wants! If I keep unleashing its power indiscriminately, I'll be mistaken for a monster from a sci-fi movie."

At 1:55 PM, Ye Qiu returned home.

As soon as he entered, he smelled the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen; that familiar and warm scent instantly relaxed him, as if all fatigue and worries were dispelled by the fragrance.

His parents were busy in the kitchen, and seeing him return, they smiled and warmly called him to eat.

Ye Qiu sat at the dining table, watching his parents' busy but loving figures, a warm current flowing through him.

It was most comfortable at home, without those strange looks and annoyingly curious questions.

But before he could fully enjoy this warmth, his Golden Eyes began to "stir up trouble" again.

A golden light instantly illuminated the entire kitchen, as bright as the midday sun; his parents flinched, almost dropping the spatula and newspaper in their hands.

"Mass shock detected! prestige value + 299!" Ye Qiu explained with a wry smile to his parents.

Although his parents looked puzzled, their faces clearly saying, "What mischief is this child up to now?", they still chose to believe him, after all, they knew their child best and knew that Ye Qiu wouldn't do these strange things without reason.

Ye Qiu ate his meal, silently praying in his heart: "Oh, Golden Eyes, please don't mess around anymore; I just want to eat a quiet meal!

If this continues, I won't be able to live like a normal person; every day will be like acting in a sci-fi farce."

At 2:00 AM, lying in bed, Ye Qiu tossed and turned like a fish in a frying pan, unable to sleep, his mind filled with the bizarre and exciting events of the day.

He looked at the twinkling stars outside the window, like countless mysterious eyes, and thought, “My show-off system is still evolving.

What even more unimaginable and incredibly interesting things will I encounter in the future?

Maybe I can even unlock more amazing abilities that even superheroes would envy.

Just thinking about it makes my blood boil with anticipation.”

As he was thinking, his eyes involuntarily shot out a golden light, illuminating the entire room as brightly as day.

This time, a small bird on a tree outside the window was startled, flapping its wings frantically and flying away, leaving behind a few panicked chirps, as if protesting Ye Qiu’s “atrocity.”

Ye Qiu sighed helplessly, rubbed his head, and muttered to himself, “It seems I won’t be getting any good sleep tonight.

These Golden Eyes are simply a ticking time bomb that can explode at any moment, impossible to guard against.”

At 2:05 AM, just as Ye Qiu was drifting off to sleep, a mysterious light suddenly flashed before his eyes, as fast as a meteor streaking across the night sky.

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw an ancient symbol slowly rotating in the air, as if narrating ancient secrets, emitting a dazzling golden light that made his eyes almost unable to open, as if the light carried mysterious power and unknown information from ancient times.

“System notification: Ultimate Show-off Mode unlocked!”

Ye Qiu’s heart skipped a beat.

Before he could react, a strong sense of dizziness, like surging, overwhelming waves, swept over him.

He felt as if his head was about to explode from this force, as if countless sharp needles were frantically pricking him.

He endured the discomfort, thinking, “What big thing is this show-off system trying to do?

This evolution is too exciting, too crazy!

Every time it makes me so uncomfortable, I feel like I’ve been through Hell, but unlocking the Ultimate Show-off Mode will definitely make me super invincible and powerful.

I’ll just bear with it, and maybe I can even dominate the world with this mode in the future.”

After finally recovering, he slowly closed his eyes and continued to sleep, but his heart was filled with anticipation and curiosity for the future, like an explorer about to open a mysterious Treasure Trove filled with peerless treasures, his heart pounding.

At 2:10 AM, Ye Qiu fell into a dream, where he found himself in a battlefield stranger than strange.

It was pitch black all around, he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face, and it was filled with eerie energy fluctuations, like monsters hiding in the depths of darkness, baring their fangs and claws, ready to pounce and devour him at any moment.

And his show-off system, like a frantically running small motor, operated wildly in his mind, emitting a “buzzing” sound that was particularly harsh in this terrifyingly silent battlefield, as if it were a roar from Hell.

“Ultimate Challenge detected! prestige value + 299!”

Before Ye Qiu could figure out what was happening, he saw a giant figure descend from the sky, its Aura like a towering mountain pressing down, shaking the ground violently, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Ye Qiu looked closely, and sure enough, this figure was several stories high, exuding a powerful and suffocating Aura that seemed to instantly freeze the surrounding air into ice.

Although Ye Qiu was a little scared, after all, facing such a behemoth would make anyone nervous, but thinking of his show-off system, he instantly regained his confidence, like a warrior holding a peerless sword and clad in golden armor, unafraid even when facing a fierce Dragon, instead, his fighting spirit ignited.

He glared, his Golden Eyes instantly locking onto the giant target, and he shouted, “Come on, let’s see how I beat you to a pulp today!

Today, I’ll show you my power, don’t think you can scare people just because you’re big.”

At 2:15 AM, an unimaginably fierce battle began in the dream.

Ye Qiu and the giant figure went back and forth, fighting in chaos, with no sun or moon.

Ye Qiu sometimes used the power of his Golden Eyes, like an experienced old hunter with sharp eyes, carefully analyzing the opponent’s weaknesses, not missing any detail; at other times, he used various magical skills from his show-off system, and when those skills were released, they shone brightly, as if countless small suns exploded simultaneously, illuminating the entire dark battlefield.

The giant figure was not to be outdone, each attack carrying a powerful, world-destroying force, shaking the ground with “bang bang” sounds, like muffled thunderclaps, almost deafening Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu constantly broke through his limits in battle, feeling his body and the show-off system merge more and more, as if becoming an indestructible, invincible, powerful fighting machine, every movement filled with power and speed, as if it could tear through space-time.

At 2:20 AM, after a thrilling and captivating battle, Ye Qiu finally caught the opponent’s flaw and unleashed his strongest move.

A dazzling light shot out from his hand, that light like the core radiance of the sun, carrying endless power and destructive Aura, directly hitting the giant figure.

With a deafening roar, the figure crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust that covered the sky, as if a mountain had collapsed.

Ye Qiu’s show-off system also emitted an even more dazzling light, illuminating the entire battlefield as brightly as day, as if the world had been recreated.

“System notification: Ultimate Show-off Mode successfully activated!”

Upon hearing this notification, Ye Qiu was overjoyed, almost laughing himself awake from the dream, his laughter probably enough to lift the roof.

But before he could be happy for long, a strong sense of dizziness struck again.

He felt as if his body was being frantically gnawed by countless hungry ants, extremely uncomfortable, as if his body was being cut into a thousand pieces.

He endured the discomfort, slowly waking up from the dream, and found himself back in the real world.

Ye Qiu sat up, took a deep breath, and looked at the sky gradually brightening outside the window, that glimmer of dawn like a spark of hope.

He knew that his show-off system had completed a magnificent evolution, becoming even more powerful, as if it possessed the power to change the world.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing an incredibly confident smile: “The days ahead will definitely be even more exciting and wonderful, I can’t wait!

I wonder what other interesting and exciting challenges await me.

I’m not afraid, just bring it on, I’m ready to conquer everything.”

At 2:25 AM, Ye Qiu stood in front of the mirror, carefully examining himself.

The embroidery of “class three, grade two” on his school uniform shone particularly brightly in the morning light, just like his radiant and proud mood at that moment.

He tidied his collar, thinking, “No matter what difficulties, obstacles, demons, or monsters I encounter in the future, I will rely on this show-off system to carve out my own vast world!

I want everyone to know that I, Ye Qiu, am not an ordinary person, I am destined to become a legend.”

After speaking, he walked out of his house with light steps, as if about to fly, heading towards school, ready to face the challenges of a new day.

His steps were full of confidence and vitality, as if loudly proclaiming his determination and ambition to the whole world.

At 2:30 AM, when Ye Qiu entered the campus again, he noticed that his classmates looked at him with even more awe and curiosity, as if looking at a superhero.

He knew that his name was deeply etched in campus legends, becoming a popular topic that everyone would talk about endlessly after meals.

He took a deep breath, feeling the familiar atmosphere of the campus, his heart filled with anticipation for the future, as if endless Treasure Trove awaited him to unearth.

He knew that his show-off system was still evolving, and every day in the future would be full of surprises and challenges.

Perhaps today he would unlock some new, jaw-dropping ability, or encounter something so interesting that it could be written into a novel, just thinking about it made him tremble with excitement.

At 2:35 AM, Ye Qiu entered the classroom, and as soon as he sat down, the System panel popped up a new task.

He looked at the task content, the corners of his mouth slightly rising, revealing a confident smile that seemed capable of overcoming anything.

He knew that a new challenge was about to begin, and he was fully prepared, like a warrior about to go to battle, fully equipped and full of fighting spirit.

He took a deep breath, pushed open the classroom door, and strode towards the podium, ready to once again display his Golden Eyes ability in physics class and begin a new day of showing off...

This time, as soon as Ye Qiu stepped onto the podium, he suddenly stopped, then took a deep breath, and then, as if using all his strength, deliberately started coughing violently, clearing his throat.

The coughing sound was like thunder, or like surging waves crashing against the shore, one after another, deafeningly loud, the sound of clearing his throat was incredibly exaggerated, as if it could shake the entire teaching building.

The students who had been whispering and laughing were startled by this sudden loud noise, one by one dumbfounded and panicked, all turning their gaze towards Ye Qiu as if they had seen a monster.

Ye Qiu stood on the podium, his expression unchanged, looking serious and earnest.

After the coughing stopped, he slowly raised his head, surveyed the still-shocked classmates below, and then spoke earnestly, “Classmates, today I am going to show you a physical phenomenon that is more magical and more shocking than ever before!”

With that, he suddenly widened his eyes, and in an instant, two strange lights shot out from the depths of his eyes.

The lights were dazzling, like the brightest stars in the night sky, or like burning golden flames, making it impossible to look directly at them—it was the legendary Golden Eyes!
