Chapter 433: 346 I really care about your feelings
Fang You was quite dissatisfied with the evaluation given by this system.
This system... occasionally suffers from the issue of arbitrarily defining people.
It wasn't exactly anger or feeling wronged, was it?
In Fang You's view, it was simply that something he had always been accustomed to suddenly underwent a significant change; there were no related memories from his previous life, and such an experience was still a first for Fang You.
The people around him almost adored him, and those he cared about cared about him even more.
The so-called template of a winner in life probably looked like this.
Now, it was merely a minor interlude, with Emperor Youyou's skills, he could handle it himself.
"Alright, everyone has been assigned to their classes. Now let me talk about one of the most important assessment systems for this winter camp, though I think you all might already have learned a bit about it in advance, and that's the so-called influence. We will select three students with the highest influence scores at the end of the winter camp activities to qualify for admission to Zhendan Academy next summer without taking exams,"
Dan Qiuzi said, "Influence is a very important thing at Zhendan Academy. You can think of it like a combat power value in games; achieving milestones across various dimensions can increase your influence."
"In the past, the score of influence included objective academic competition achievements and relatively subjective assessments of club activities. Overall, this assessment system was quite fair but still not efficient and accurate enough."
"But now, with the advancement of technology, we also hope to present the metrics for evaluating influence in a more equitable manner. That is... um, what is this machine called again?"
"Right, it's the access wristbands you are all wearing now!"
"This wristband was developed in collaboration with Star Sea Technology. Besides replacing traditional campus cards for payments and access control, it also includes an integrated evaluation function for various influence scores. It will play a role in assessing during this winter camp, enabling everyone to achieve a more just influence score."
"Of course, it is just a wristband for now, but within the next year or two, we hope to develop a method using external chips to improve and optimize the original influence assessment system..."
[See, see, we really are the first generation of lab rats, and now the conspiracy suspicions just grew a bit larger.]
Super Detective Ke Lan: [Didn't they say there were no surveillance and eavesdropping devices in the wristbands, @Super Hacker X]
Super Hacker X: [There is no data code for surveillance and eavesdropping device management in the wristband's firmware, and its functions are not much different from a regular smart wristband, but I will study it further. Star Sea Technology might really have developed some black tech that I can't crack for now...]
Xu Lingyi was clearly obsessed with technology. The doubt cast on her professionalism also angered her, almost making the phone screen spark as she operated her mobile.
After the principal's speech and the class division ceremony, Yue Yipei and two other student council members.
"I, along with senior Jiang Ping and senior Lu Chuan, will each oversee classes A, B, and C as homeroom teachers."
"First, we need to elect a class monitor for each class. Does anyone want to volunteer for this role?"
Being a class monitor meant taking on more responsibilities, which was clearly an opportunity to boost one's influence score, so everyone was keen to raise their hand.
"Then, please can those who want to run for class monitor come up to the stage and make their campaign speeches."
Xiao Shen from Qilu showed off his management experience: "I've been a class monitor for six years and have quite some insights into class management; I can definitely lead everyone to crush the other classes."
The applause was sporadic as such rhetoric wasn't convincing to these elite students gathered from all corners of the country.
Qian Duoduo from Shenyun demonstrated his financial capability: "I hope everyone chooses me as class monitor; I can give each person who votes for me a limited edition Parmela model car, or I can offer cash instead."
This time, the applause was more enthusiastic, especially among the boys.
Fang You, flawless in his ways from Mei City, launched into [Convince with Reason] in a [Regal Uncle] tone, succinctly showcasing a king's composure: "I hope everyone votes for me. Follow me, and we'll win."
[Reasoning successful! You are convincing with reason…]
Eventually, Fang You won the class monitor election by a landslide.
The class monitors for the neighboring B and C classes were also elected this time. The class monitor for C was Ke Lan, while the monitor for B was—
"That's right, it's me!"
The new class monitor of class B appearing before Fang You was his most familiar stranger—Xia Nuo!
After Xia Nuo was elected as the class monitor, she became lively and spirited, seemingly reverting to her old self.
But that bright and bubbly demeanor was distinctly not shown to Fang You; when she looked at him, she still had a pout that reached for the skies.
"How did you manage to get elected?"
"It's quite simple."
Xia Nuo said, "Just use a warm and enthusiastic smile and encourage everyone to vote for me, that's all!"
Nuo Nuo's smile was very infectious, which of course, Fang You knew.
Class B had more boys than girls, and most of them were shy and cautious, with Xia Nuo being the prettiest and most outgoing among the girls.
Well...
So far, there hadn't been any problems.
But now Xia Nuo had a problem!
"Youyou, do you think that without you, I can't accomplish anything? To actually ask me such a question..."
"That's not what I meant..."
Fang You said, "I was just wondering why, when you were in our mom's class, you didn't express your desire to become the class president."
"Hmph, back then... of course, it was because I was spoiling you... don't get me wrong."
Xia Nuo, with her arms crossed, humphed and said, "But now I've realized, it's because I doted on you too much in the past, so you seem to take my affection for granted and hardly care about my feelings—"
"I care deeply about your feelings." Fang You interrupted her before she could finish.
Thud, thud thud.
Thud thud thud thud.
The more it went on...
Even when uttering such words, his facial expression remained very neutral.
Obviously...
Too neutral!
"Although your words sound sincere... I can't feel them anymore!"
Xia Nuo said, "Let's bring out the spirit from the time of Emperor Youyou! But this time is different, you and I are no longer who we once were; this time, there is no helping each other, only scheming and battling to the death, to become the outstanding participants of the winter camp, I will"
"The activities of the Secret Council aren't continuing?"
"Oh right, I almost forgot, let's exclude that."
At this moment, Ke Lan also spoke in the "Secret Council":
"Good, the three of us are now the class presidents of our respective classes, which will make organizing activities much easier. I hope everyone remembers their original intentions and missions."
"Okay, boss!"
Just then, the bracelets of Xia Nuo, Fang You, and Ke Lan chimed simultaneously: Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire
"Ding, congratulations on being elected class president, influence +100"
The influence score for Fang You, Xia Nuo, and Ke Lan all increased by 100 points.
At the same time, students who failed the election also received a -50 point notification.
"Not elected as class president means a deduction in influence points?"
The bracelet also rang out with a message:
"Tip: displaying the plight of a loser in front of everyone is also an act that will lose influence."
"That does make sense then."
"It seems some activities can't be relentlessly pursued without thought; one must be more cautious..."
In Fang You's eyes, this bracelet was like having an additional system.
...
However, currently, Nuo Nuo suddenly seemed determined to confront me head-on.
It appeared that Fang You still had to continue looking for opportunities to reconcile with Nuo Nuo.
