The Ugly Girl Gained a Beauty Purchase System

Chapter 19

Wow!

Wow!

Wow!

The entire corridor was in an uproar!

Tu Qingluan was also stunned when he heard this. He looked at the ranking board where Qi Shi had been firmly ranked first for years, but now he was surpassed by Yan Xi, the new transfer student.

At the beginning, almost everyone would look at who was first, but since the start of middle school at Qingteng, this cohort understood that Qi Shi's name had always been at the top of the ranking list, whether it was a major exam or a minor one, a difficult one or an easy one.

Later on, people got used to it and Qi Shi being first became the norm. Only the few top students in front paid attention to the ups and downs in front and behind them, after all when they looked at the rankings they were close to Qi Shi.

Moreover, Qingteng was notoriously harsh when grading tests. Questions that only deducted one point in city and provincial joint exams, they could mercilessly deduct three points from you. Even if you answered perfectly and met the standard, teachers could still deduct a lot of points from you on the grounds that your sloppy handwriting hurt their eyes.

Especially the English papers graded by Peng Haiyang. He was ruthless when deducting points for the essay section.

This time, Yan Xi narrowly beat Qi Shi.

One scored 730.

The other scored 729.5.

What kind of place was Qingteng East District?

It was a place full of top students and academic elites everywhere.

The young masters and misses received top-notch education due to their superior family backgrounds. Under the bombardment of such top social resources, as long as they didn't have brain problems, their grades were among the top 0.01% in the city.

The moment they knew the results, the way many people looked at Yan Xi changed. They no longer simply saw her as a new school belle with good looks.

She was no longer just a pretty face.

That's human nature for you. People only see the surface that is presented to them, and their evaluation of others often comes from what they see.

"Damn it, you tricked me," Pandora said in her mind.

Dazzling beauty paired with any card was a sure win, but a lone pretty face was bound to lose.

She had known this all along, but had always lacked that card.

For some reason, the sickening yet pleasurable feeling suddenly surfaced.

Under the admiring gazes of the crowd, Yan Xi responded with her trademark faint smile before quickly leaving.

"Xi Xi, where are you going?" Tu Qingluan seemed to want to grab her hand.

The sounds of discussion kept ringing out around her and her head suddenly started to hurt. The scenes before her eyes began to overlap.

Meaningless, completely meaningless.

Yan Xi brushed past the crowd with Tu Qingluan following closely behind her.

"Beauty, can I get your number? Share some of your study tips!"

.....

"Ugly freak! She's really killing my appetite!"

.....

"Wow, gorgeous looks and top grades, she's blinding me!"

.....

"Looking like that freak, it'd scare anyone to death if she went out at night! Just look at how fat she is, covered in nothing but disgusting grease."

The past scenes and present scenes suddenly intertwined, and two different voices mingled and stirred in her mind.

.....

"The first place again is that ugly freak Luo Manman?"

"No way, really?"

"Help, we have to see her on stage again when the awards are handed out. She's really hard on the eyes."

"Stop it. She got good grades. If she hears you and complains to the teacher, we'll be in trouble."

.....

Yan Xi's vision became blurred. In a daze, she saw her originally fair and slender fingers become fat and clumsy.

"Bang!" A loud sound.

A basketball suddenly smashed into the ground next to Yan Xi's small round-toed shoes. If she had taken two more steps, it would have smashed right into her leg.

Yan Xi's sanity instantly returned. She coldly looked up at the person in front.

"Don't celebrate too early, there's still P.E." Zhou Zhou had just bounced a basketball over.

Seeing Tu Qingluan and her standing together, especially with their hands touching, Zhou Zhou felt extremely irritated.

Yan Xi didn't move. She stared at Zhou Zhou in silence for a good while.

The atmosphere was so awkward you could hear a pin drop.

Although they were two very attractive teenagers, the atmosphere was more like an action movie called "Who Will Kill Who" rather than a romance.

Suddenly, Yan Xi's mouth curled into a sweet smile, "Zhou Zhou, P.E. is only worth 100 points max."

"....."

Yan Xi knew when to stop.

Zhou Zhou scored 629.5 this time, exactly 100 points less than Qi Shi.

"You lose," the girl said tilting her head slightly, looking innocent.

"So Zhou Zhou can't take losing, can he?" Yan Xi deliberately dragged out her words for everyone to hear.

There were crowds in the corridor who immediately broke into hushed whispers.

"Didn't Zhou Zhou and I bet on the first round? He can't be trying to welsh already, can he?"

".....Of course not." Zhou Zhou's face was turning ugly.

His taunts had backfired!

Why did he always act so rashly when he saw her!

Yan Xi bent down and shoved the basketball directly at Tu Qingluan. "It seems Zhou Zhou is very fond of Tu indeed, even inviting you to play basketball after school."

"You guys chat slowly, I'll head off first." Yan Xi lightly shifted the firepower and shook off Tu Qingluan.

She left with an air of nonchalance, concealing her skills and reputation.

The gossiping gazes all focused on the girl's departing figure, seemingly even more bewitching now with the halo of being a top student added to her beauty.

Yan Xi left the crowds behind and went up to the rooftop alone.

[You should have......] Pandora said anxiously.

"I know what you're thinking, Pandora," Yan Xi said softly.

"You want me to get close to them, in other words max out their affection points,"

But from the moment she entered this school grounds, she couldn't shake off that lofty feeling. Every time someone looked at her appearance, there was always an indelible sense of arrogance. This kind of school was

Judging others by their looks.

Worshipping family background and power.

"But most of them were born privileged. They can't see others."

[Zhou Zhou might be, but doesn't Tu Qingluan quite like you?]

"Just superficial looks. Such suspended affection, if I were still Luo Manman..."

The wind on the rooftop blew Yan Xi's loosely tied hair apart.

"In essence, Zhou Zhou and Tu Qingluan are the same. If you can't bring them to the same level, it's like an ant trying to get a human's attention."

And this was a multi-line task. If she went down that path, pouring 100 times the effort to steer that ship would still easily capsize it, not to mention maxing it out.

Her phone screen started flashing message alerts.

Zhou Zhou: Round two, school sports meet, I make the rules.

"That's why they need to be fully trampled on."

What a youth in his prime liked, grab onto that and you're set.

And they're not even pure youths, are they?

"Pandora does have a bit of a point,"

[Luo Manman, so are you still observing?] Pandora asked seriously after a long time.

"No, I'm ready to take action," Yan Xi looked into the distance.

"You and her have a bet?" Tu Qingluan threw down the basketball in his hand and questioned Zhou Zhou.

"Since when does Young Master Tu care about other people's business?"

"I remember you seem to like..." Tu Qingluan started to say.

"I don't like her," Zhou Zhou cut him off coldly.

Zhou Zhou barged past Tu Qingluan and left.

Is that so? Tu Qingluan lowered his eyes to look at the basketball abandoned at his feet.

But I like her even more...
