The Buggiest System

148 - Constipation

Yes, that's right. Zhou Lei recognized the popular celebrity Lin Guiying!

She was used to fans asking for an autograph from outside, so she always carried a notepad and a ballpen with her.

Seeing Zhou Lei's expectant face made Lin Guiying guilty for tricking him. He knew her as Lin Hanying, the new transfer student, but what he didn't know was that she was standing before him!

Lin Hanying and Lin Guiying were the same!

Nevertheless, Zhou Lei watched as his idol took out a notepad from a pocket inside the brown coat, grabbed a pen from a similar place, and signed the paper.

He had his hands held out this whole time, anticipating the paper to be placed. His eyes shone, making Lin Guiying slightly flustered.

She had seen a lot of this kind, but not once did she get as flustered as she was right now!

That was because of two factors. One is the fact that Zhou Lei's face was perfect to a fault. The second was that he considered her disguise a friend, and she did too.

She tore the paper from the pad, folded it, and put it on Zhou Lei's hand, before departing quickly.

"Thanks!" Zhou Lei waved the celebrity goodbye as she left.

When he couldn't see her anymore, Zhou Lei looked at the piece of paper on his hand. He quickly put the paper in one of his pockets with a blank expression before biting his lips as he tried to restrain from showing a smile again.

"Oh my God! That was so nervewracking! Ah, damn!" He covered his face with both hands. Behind them was a red face full of embarrassment.

'She... was so beautiful!'

.....

After getting to the arcade, other than practicing the song and already getting more than half of the total points, for the two past hours, nothing of note had happened.

Zhou Lei wiped the sweat off his forehead. He looked distressed at the sight in front of him.

"With this rate of progress, I won't be able to get a perfect score in the next 3 days!"

In the first two days, he got amazing progress by getting halfway there. However, after that, his progression slowed to a halt. He could only get one or two points every new session, and that was a really slow rate.

He stepped off the machine and tried to think of solutions to his current problem. The other problems could wait, but this one had a deadline of only 3 days left!

"Hmm... would upgrading my Dancing skill improve my skill on DDR?" Zhou Lei remembered the book that he got from the lottery. "Well, I can only try. I've nothing to lose anyway."

He opened his inventory, took out the book, and consumed it immediately. Otherwise, if he didn't do it right away, in this crowded place, it was only a matter of time until he bumped into someone else, with them consuming the book instead of him.

Zhou Lei assumed that this was a bug, but System wasn't saying anything about it, so maybe it was a feature?

Soon after, he felt an ache in his head. Zhou Lei withstood it the best that he could. No one could see his face anyway since he was wearing a facemask and a hoodie.

However, if someone did see his face, they would tap Zhou Lei on the shoulder, and say, "Are you constipated?"

At that, Zhou Lei would respond with "Your sister is constipated! Your whole family is constipated!"
