Chapter Two: You Must Hold On—Don’t Die!
The student before him, fully aware that he was the counselor, not only showed no fear but even invited him to eat together?
He Bingbing’s small mouth opened slightly, her face equally filled with surprise.
This student’s audacity was simply too much!
At that moment, a series of alert sounds echoed in Wu Bin’s mind.
[Anger from Yang Kang, Reputation +20]
[Surprise from He Bingbing, Reputation +20]
[Curiosity from Xu He, Reputation +10]
[Admiration from Zhou Bing, Reputation +10]
Seeing hundreds of unfamiliar names appear in his mind, Wu Bin was momentarily stunned before shifting his gaze toward the camera.
So that’s how it is—by provoking emotional reactions from strangers through the camera, he could gain reputation points!
“What are you still sitting there for? Get up!” Yang Kang’s face was about to explode with anger.
Students nowadays were truly lawless, daring even to invite him to eat hotpot?
Wu Bin furrowed his brows, clutching his chest as he slowly stood up.
“Counselor, please lower your voice. I have a heart condition.”
This was no act.
He genuinely felt his heartbeat quicken slightly, causing a sharp, stabbing pain in his chest.
Yang Kang sneered.
“I’ve reviewed all the health records of your freshman class. I remember clearly who has what illness.”
“Don’t try to fake sickness in front of me. You’re out of your depth.”
Wu Bin paid no attention to Yang Kang’s words.
Instead, he concentrated on reading the descriptions of his other two skills.
[Cocoon Rebirth: When the host’s specific illness passes its danger phase, they gain permanent immunity to that illness and enhanced function of the related organ.]
Wu Bin’s eyes widened.
This skill was incredible!
In other words, if he ever came close to death from his heart disease and was revived,
not only would his heart condition be cured, but he would also obtain a stronger heart!
“Nice, nice. Finally, this damn system gave me a useful skill.”
“Let’s see the third one.”
[Iron Will: The host can use willpower to gain additional healing effects. The stronger the willpower, the stronger the extra healing.]
After reading this third skill, Wu Bin’s thoughts became clear.
[Contempt for Death] was about survival.
[Cocoon Rebirth] was about becoming stronger.
[Iron Will] helped speed up healing, enabling him to leave the danger phase faster.
Thus, reputation and willpower both became crucial factors,
with reputation being the most important.
The higher the reputation, the longer his invincible time and the greater the margin for error.
In other words, the more people focused on him, the higher the chance of gaining reputation points.
While Wu Bin pondered this, Counselor Yang Kang stormed over angrily and shouted:
“What’s your name?”
“Wu Bin.”
“Alright, Wu Bin. You four were caught using electrical appliances in the dorm against school rules. According to regulations, the other three will receive warnings.”
“As for you, showing disrespect and no remorse, you will write a 3,000-word self-criticism tonight and submit it to me.”
“If I’m not satisfied, I’ll call your parents to the school!”
Yang Kang was furious.
The interview notice had been issued long ago,
yet not only were the four caught red-handed, this Wu Bin showed no sign of repentance!
If he didn’t impose a strict punishment, the reputation of the Agricultural University would be ruined!
The viewers in the live stream immediately began to gloat.
“This guy’s pretty fierce—facing the counselor without fear or submission.”
“Didn’t you see? The counselor was nearly driven mad! This guy’s gonna get special treatment for the next four years.”
“Offending the counselor right upon enrollment, what a talent, haha.”
“Faking illness doesn’t work on the counselor—I tried it before.”
Amidst the chatter, Wu Bin spoke again.
“Counselor, could you please lower your voice? I really do have a heart condition.”
The other three roommates looked at Wu Bin with admiration.
This guy was a master at acting!
He was fully committed to the role!
Just a few days ago during the school fitness test, Wu Bin’s results were better than anyone else’s.
Now, to avoid punishment, he was pretending to have heart disease.
Impressive!
Yang Kang couldn’t help but laugh angrily.
“You’re not done yet, huh?”
He jabbed three times forcefully at Wu Bin’s chest with his finger.
“Wu Bin, don’t think that faking illness will get you out of punishment.”
“Our school’s discipline is strict; everything follows the rules. Even if you collapse today, I…”
Before Yang Kang could finish, Wu Bin suddenly grabbed his shirt over his chest with a pained expression.
Damn, is this what a heart attack feels like?
It hurt like hell!
Wu Bin’s face instantly turned ghostly pale, his lips purple and blackening.
He felt all the warmth in his body rush rapidly toward his heart!
The next moment, Wu Bin lost consciousness and collapsed to the floor with a thud.
Yang Kang was dumbfounded.
He Bingbing and the others were even more shocked.
The cameraman reacted quickest, rushing over to get a close-up of Wu Bin.
“Ah! Wu Bin has fainted!”
A female counselor let out a sharp scream.
Only then did everyone else react.
“Quick! School doctor! Get the school doctor here!”
Yang Kang panicked, crouching beside Wu Bin helplessly.
“Wu Bin, are you alright?”
“Where do you feel discomfort?”
Wu Bin had no strength to answer.
Even breathing caused chest pain.
Seeing Wu Bin collapse, the live stream audience erupted.
“Wow, this guy’s acting is amazing—he fell as soon as he said it!”
“Bro, didn’t you see his face turn white in a second? That can’t be acting; it’s a real heart attack.”
“He’s done for. Heart disease has a high sudden death rate. Get ready for the funeral.”
Just as the comment scrolled by, Wu Bin’s condition worsened.
He seemed completely drained of strength, his body going limp.
Yang Kang, who had been so fierce moments ago, now knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face as he held Wu Bin.
“Wu Bin, hold on! Please don’t die!”
The roommates fell silent, witnessing this scene.
Yang Kang, who had been domineering before, now knelt crying, begging Wu Bin not to die.
It was utterly surreal!
Xu Wenyao arrived with several school leaders.
They had been waiting downstairs to prepare for an interview.
Just as they were reviewing the interview script, they heard someone say a student was having a heart attack in the dorm.
Xu Wenyao was panting heavily.
Seeing Wu Bin’s pale face, his head felt like it was exploding.
No way, it’s this serious?
His face turned so pale in just a few minutes?
Are college students really this fragile nowadays?
The head counselor handed Xu Wenyao a tissue.
“Principal, wipe your sweat.”
“Wipe my ass!”
