C13 Ding! Choice Event Triggered!

The buzz about Lee Yun's wager with Zhou Xianming swept through Zhicai High School's freshman, sophomore, and junior classes as swiftly as the wind, fueled by Fang Xue's fame.

"You're kidding, right? A kid from Class 14 with lousy grades is challenging the experimental class in Combined Science and English?"

"It's legit! Don't believe me? Check out the Tieba forum yourself!"

"Seriously? Who is this Lee Yun popping up out of nowhere, claiming he'll ace the test and snag first place?"

"Acing Combined Science to take the top spot? Might as well be a daydream!"

"Ha, even our top student, Lee Feng, only scored full marks once. Hold on, Lee Yun, Lee Feng?"

"Yep, you nailed it. They're brother and sister, not by blood though—they're both from the orphanage!"

"Lee Feng is drop-dead gorgeous and a whiz kid to boot. Lee Yun's story is straight out of a novel!"

Upon hearing the news, Lee Feng rushed to school and straight to class 14 to confront Lee Yun.

"Cough, so that's the scoop. Sis, could you let go of my ear? It's really hurting!"

Lee Yun had no choice but to acquiesce to his sister's will; it's practically written in the stars for sisters to discipline their brothers.

What brother could possibly stand up to his sister?

"You're driving me nuts!"

Lee Feng's foot-stomping, though adorable, caught Lee Yun's eye once again.

"How could you agree to such a bet? Aren't you worried about the embarrassment? And how on earth is Zhou Xianming going to fork over 100,000 yuan?"

Lee Yun's smile was sly. "Relax, sis. I'm sure I'll win, and I've got a plan for the cash."

His confidence stemmed from the System, of course.

"Ding! A choice event has been triggered. Host, please select:

Option 1: Accept the bet. Reward: +10 Spirit, 100,000 yuan (Note: Provided by Zhou Xianming. Should he refuse, the System will enforce payment and offer tenfold compensation).

Option 2: Decline. Reward: Loser."

Lee Yun had no interest in the Loser perk, so he accepted without hesitation.

He was secretly hoping Zhou Xianming would refuse to pay up, which would net him a cool million.

Surely Zhou Xianming's family had enough for the System to deduct, right?

Seeing his brimming confidence, Lee Feng felt a mix of frustration and resignation. "You're probably unaware that Zhou Xianming has already sought out the dean—and they're related."

"He went to see the dean for what?" Lee Yun asked, puzzled. "Even if he tries to swap my exam paper, it won't make a difference. The handwriting won't match."

"That's not the issue at hand," Lee Feng said, regaining her composure. "He's arranged for the teachers to grade the papers immediately after this afternoon's exam. Since it's just an internal mock test, it's doable."

Lee Yun shrugged. "Having the papers graded on the spot works for me. I'll win sooner and claim that bet."

"You really are something else..."

Lee Feng was on the verge of losing her cool, but Lee Yun was her brother, after all. She sighed, "Fine, just don't get too worked up this afternoon. It'll be over before you know it."

"Ha, don't worry, Sis. I've got this in the bag!"

"Hmph, as if I'd believe that!"

After giving him an exasperated eye roll, Lee Feng couldn't quite shake off her irritation. She rapped him on the head and grumbled, "If you weren't my brother, I wouldn't waste my time on you!"

Lee Yun wore a look of sheer frustration. Having an older sister constantly breathing down his neck was excruciating.

Yet, Lee Feng's concern for him was heartfelt.

"But to think none of you believe I can ace this? Ha, Zhou Xianming, you're in for a loss!"
