It's A Small World

Long Lingqing met Chen Fang on a campus event two years ago and fell for him not long after. That was when they were still freshmen, naïve people who thought a college diploma was the sole ticket to a good life.

To Chen Fang, she introduced herself as a daughter of a normal family from a neighboring city. She even said that her family was a distant relative of another prominent family surnamed Long. However, in reality, her family's roots were in a rural village, and she was only admitted to the university for her excellent college entrance exam results.

Chen Fang never met her parents so he didn't know, not even after the breakup.

But it was not really strange.

Setting aside the fact that when they were still boyfriend-girlfriend, their relationship was not deep enough to warrant a meeting with each other's parents or guardians. Despite sharing a sweet university couple's life for some time, they never reached the point of talking about marriage.

'Girls are prideful beings too. And she's pretty. Perhaps, when she got mistaken for a rich man's daughter, the thought of wanting to let that misunderstanding continue just sprouted in her mind.'

Zhang Mei Xing had no way to see beyond what was shown in the 'memory-viewing part' of the exam. But she could infer through those 'video clips' and through asking on the web. Yep, Zhang Mei Xing sometimes phased through the Test World and surfed the internet.

If her guess was correct, Long Lingqing did have a naïve and romantic point in her life. She was originally somebody who merely wanted to graduate and then get a good job.

But because her appearance was very pretty, several rich guys courted her. They gifted her expensive things even though they knew she was already Chen Fang's girlfriend.

Over time, it just became difficult to not be tempted by money and riches.

Didn't they say tempting things are always a test and that it is a test because most of the time, not everyone is guaranteed to overcome it?

Zhang Mei Xing could not judge a person's character outright so she gave Long Lingqing the benefit of the doubt.

'Should I visit her village to know the truth?'

Maybe the girl originally did not want to be seen as opportunistic and shallow but was forced by circumstances. Life was not easy after all, and challenges always arise at the most inopportune moment.

A couple of seconds later she changed her mind after remembering the examinee was the priority. 'Or maybe I should only consider that once I take over her role.'

Zhang Mei Xing roamed around for a while. Chen Fang's world was almost the same as hers, except the name of the capital was different and some places had different buildings built there instead. For example, Tsinghua here was called China Central University and one of the gates was right across a park that directly becomes a night market at nighttime. This was somewhere she had not attended in her past life so she was also curious. Plus, the year now was 2016, six years advance her own world.

The campus was exceptionally large, about 400 hectares. She knew that there were other universities and colleges in the world boasting a larger area, but for her who had attended a small provincial college before, Central was already very amazing.

Today, she had planned to interact with people on campus who did not appear in the 'memory viewing part' to ask for some trivial information. This was still within the scope of what a guide could do which had little chance of changing the future or interfering with the exam. The system gave her a go signal when she reasoned that she would not do this often.

However... "What a small world," she muttered in discontentment.

When she was about to look for anybody to talk to after buying a serving of scallion pancake, her eyes accidentally saw Qin Li, the handsome, arrogant rich guy. The person was roaring at a scary-looking who seemed like gangsters. She immediately thought that if these two were working together, this just proved that money in the modern world equals status, or at least a capital for superiority.

Unfortunately, she was quite a distance away from them.

Even when she switched to the Static World, she approached too late. Before she could eavesdrop on any juicy information, the two parties already split up in different directions.

'Hmm,' she blinked her eyes several times before narrowing them for a moment.

Zhang Mei Xing sent them off with her eyes. Then, like a ghost, she followed one heading towards the boy's dormitory.

In the upcoming action drama, she wanted to see if the luck enhancement was real or not.

'I hope one of the progress bars would be filled halfway with this incident.'

'But first, my examinee must evade the oncoming danger.'
