I Get Stronger When Called Up - Chapter 2

As soon as Fang Qimai returned to his seat, his classmate Liu Meimei handed him a note. In their teacher Xue Baogai’s class, no one dared to whisper or play with their mobile phones. Passing notes was the best way for students to have quiet conversations.

“You’re amazing!”

Fang Qimai looked at the note and, hmm… he silently added an exclamation mark. It became – “You are amazing!”

Liu Meimei: …

“confusion value increased by Liu Meimei: +1”

That was the end of the topic, but Liu Meimei was not satisfied. She continued to write on the note: “Do you think my selfie I posted on WeChat Moments this morning looks good?”

Fang Qimai took a look and wrote underneath, “It looks pretty good today.”

“Ugh, does that mean I looked bad on other days?”

“Last Saturday, at 12:05 pm, the first picture in the second row of your WeChat Moments grid.”

Liu Meimei was surprised and wrote, “Each photo was carefully selected by me, and I think they all look pretty good. What do you think looks bad?”

“The place where your right eye meets the eye shadow.”

“Ugh, why are you looking so closely? Do you have an ulterior motive?”

Fang Qimai wrote three words: “You have eye boogers.”

“Increase the confusion value of Liu Meimei: +2”

Liu Meimei: “Fang Qimai, you’re poisonous!”

…

[Ding! You have been summoned by Liu Meimei. Reward: [Enchanting Tear Mole]!

What is this nonsense?

As this thought crossed his mind, an ethereal tablet appeared in Fang Qimai’s mind in the next second.

[Charming Tear Mole]
Only works on the opposite sex. After a blink of an eye, the other person will be attracted by your charm, and their preference for you will increase by one level.

–

Fang Qimai was startled and thought that something strange had entered his mind. He picked up Liu Meimei’s mirror and looked; there was a small mole that had inexplicably appeared just under an inch from the corner of his right eye. It was commonly known as a lachrymal stain.

He touched it, “It is indeed real.

Wait, what is this reward? Host, this system is the [Naming System]. As long as someone calls your name, you will receive corresponding rewards from them, including but not limited to skills, items, treasures, special physical traits, and more].
[Note: The target must actively call your name in person for the effect to take effect, and each person’s effect can only be activated once].
Fang Qimai was stunned; the things in the novels had actually come true for him.
Could it be that he had really become the main character, with many onlookers watching him?
He continued to think about his experiences.
First, when he was summoned by the maths class representative, he obtained the [Quick Calculation Technique].
Then, when he was called by the maths teacher, he got the [Advanced Maths Mastery].
And just now, when he was summoned by that fellow student who had ambiguous feelings for him, he gained this [Charming Tear Mole]?
Unbelievable!
This system was really amazing!
[The goal of this system is to make your name resound throughout the country, from the Great Wall to the ends of the earth.]
“Alright! Let me test the effects of this Tear Mole.”
Since it doesn’t work on boys, he could only target Liu Meimei, who was closest to him.
Fang Qimai looked at Liu Meimei lovingly.
Liu Meimei looked over in confusion, her face flushing involuntarily.
Biu~
Fang Qimai winked with his right eye, which had the tear stain commonly known as the ‘blinking eye’.
In an instant, Liu Meimei felt a chill run down her spine.
Then she experienced an indescribable feeling.
…
Finally, the class bell rang, marking the end of the morning session, and after lunch, Liu Meimei returned from the cafeteria and looked at Fang Qimai with gentle eyes.
“Qimai, you’re the best man in my life next to my dad.”
Fang Qimai was puzzled; had this girl eaten something that affected her?
No, could it be the effect of the [Charming Tear Mole]?
That’s a bit sharp…
“Could you consider being my friend?”
“I can think about it.”
“Then you will be my…”
Fang Qimai interjected, “Second dad!”
Liu Meimei: …
“Confusion Points by Liu Meimei, +3”
…
“Qimai, I got a fish bone stuck in my throat while eating earlier; drinking vinegar and swallowing my food didn’t help.”
“Is it that serious?” Fang Qimai asked nervously.
“My throat hurts so much right now, it’s really uncomfortable~”
“Isn’t the fish bone okay?”
“Damn!”
“Confusion Points from Liu Meimei, +4”
…
Liu Meimei paused for a moment before saying tenderly, “Qimai, there’s only 99 days left until the college entrance exam; there are some things I need to say, otherwise it’ll be too late. I want to tell you that I… like you~”
“Actually, I already have someone I like.”
“Oh, is that so? That’s so sad!”
“Silly, why don’t you ask if the person I like is you?”
“Then do you like me?”
“No.”
Liu Meimei: …
“Confusion Points by Liu Meimei, +4”
…
“Why don’t you ask me if I’m lying to you?”
“Are you lying to me?”
“No.”
Liu Meimei: …
“Why don’t you ask if I’m testing you?”
“Are you testing me?”
“No.”
“Damn it!”
“Confusion Points by Liu Meimei, +6”
…
“System, this teardrop is terrifying; luckily, I handled it wisely. By the way, can I get rid of it?”
[Sorry, host, rewards do not currently support a seven-day unconditional return or exchange.
But rest assured, Liu Meimei is an exception.
The charm of the [Charming Tear Mole] is an upgrade based on the target’s original feelings.
For example, someone who originally had no liking for you might develop a slight liking for you.
If someone already likes you, their feelings will deepen based on that foundation, possibly even reaching the level of… passionate love.
Damn, it seems like Liu Meimei already has a strong liking for me!
At that moment, the school beauty Xiao Bixue came over with a notebook.
Her pale skin, beautiful face and long legs had already made her the dream girl of many boys in the school.
She truly deserved the title of school beauty.
If I had to grade her, Liu Meimei would only get a maximum of 70 points, while Xiao Bixue could get up to 96 points.
Xiao Bixue said, “Um… Fang Qimai, may I ask you about the problem from this morning? I still don’t quite understand the first solution. Also, I heard you mention that there was a second solution; even though it seems quite difficult to grasp, I would still like to try to consult you about it…”
[Ding! You have been summoned by school beauty Xiao Bixue to unlock status: Fresh and Elegant!]
[Fresh and Elegant: The host has an exceptional demeanour, standing tall like a jade tree, with a remarkable presence!]
…
As the saying goes, a handsome man goes with a beautiful woman.
Being summoned by a beautiful girl made Fang Qimai feel… even more handsome!
Even without the [Charming Tear Mole], it would be hard for an average girl to resist him.
Now, the fact that the school beauty had come to seek his guidance was something that many would envy and resent.
“No problem.”
Fang Qimai replied happily.
The moment Fang Qimai looked up, Xiao Bixue was stunned: although he had always had a reserved and somewhat bad-boy appearance, one had to admit that he was quite handsome.
Today, looking at him up close, Fang Qimai’s bright features were very pleasing.
The word ‘handsome’ was no longer enough to describe him; it was a kind of exquisite beauty, an incomparable charm.
Looking at him, those male celebrities seemed to be no better than him.
…
At that moment, Fang Qimai glanced at Liu Meimei.
“Hmph!”
Liu Meimei was consumed with jealousy.
It was impossible to ask her to give up her seat now.
Looking over at Xiao Bixue, her seatmate was none other than Li Hongzhe, the class president and maths genius.
And Li Hongzhe had not yet returned to the classroom.
So Fang Qimai said to Xiao Bixue, “Let’s go to your place so I can explain it to you.”
“Sure!”
…
So Fang Qimai sat down in Li Hongzhe’s place and began his explanation.
“Actually, the key to this solution lies in the thought process, and there are some tricks to it. You need to combine several previous knowledge points, and through deduction, you can arrive at this result. Let me walk you through it again…”
…
Seeing the two of them so close together, Liu Meimei was about to explode.
Li Hongzhe, who had just returned from the cafeteria, was just as furious.
“Hey, hey! Fang Qimai, what are you doing in my seat? Get up at once!”
Xiao Bixue said, “class president, I asked Fang Qimai to explain the problem to me. I still don’t quite understand this morning’s question, and I’m also very curious about the second solution.
Li Hongzhe stepped forward and lightly pushed Fang Qimai, “Get up! You’re sitting in my seat without my permission!”
Fang Qimai remained like a mountain and asked, “class president, why don’t you sit down and listen as well?”
“I received +4 dazed points from Li Hongzhe.”
“Me? You want me, the maths class president, to listen to you explain maths problems? Hey, Fang Qimai, I can see you’ve gotten a bit carried away; you were lucky to get the question right this morning!”
Then Li Hongzhe turned to Xiao Bixue and said, “Bixue, the second solution to this question…””I… I can do it too. I’ll explain it to you.”

This exchange attracted the attention of many of his classmates.
Jealousy was in the air.
Everyone in the class admired the beauty of the school flower, Xiao Bixue, and many of the boys were her devoted admirers.
But Li Hongzhe was no ordinary person; he was the only son of Li Ying, the vice principal of Jiangcheng Second Middle School, and he shared a desk with Xiao Bixue. Therefore, everyone tacitly accepted that Xiao Bixue belonged to Li Hongzhe, and almost no one dared to compete for her affections.
However, Fang Qimai was the first to openly challenge Li Hongzhe.

Fang Qimai shook his head and stood up.
Li Hongzhe snorted coldly.
As expected, no one dared to provoke him.
Flirting with his favourite girl right in front of him? No way!
After getting up, Fang Qimai said to Xiao Bixue earnestly, “There is no other choice, I can only sit in your place.
“Ah… then… where shall I sit?”
Xiao Bixue asked, confused.
Fang Qimai winked, “You can sit on my lap.”
