Chapter 24 - Betting

The next day, the weekend.

"Please, my esteemed teacher Chu Yaomeng!"

Mu An smiled and opened the door of the supercar for the girl.

Even now, Chu Yaomeng still felt a bit dreamy.

She originally thought the other party was just joking.

But she never expected that when she was about to go out for her part-time job in the morning, she would encounter Mu An waiting downstairs at her building.

"Is it really just tutoring?"

Chu Yaomeng asked cautiously.

"Not tutoring? What else do you think it is?"

"Do you really want me to take you back to have kids?"

Mu An teased her with a smile.

Although the girl was only wearing an old outfit, her curvy figure was impossible to hide.

To Mu An, the girl seemed like a walking super gold mine, just waiting for him to exploit her ruthlessly!

And sensing the man's burning gaze, Chu Yaomeng's pretty face turned slightly red.

It was precisely because she had heard him say so many times, "I want to take you back to have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten... kids," that she subconsciously felt a bit scared to go to his house.

Afraid that she would really have to give him one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten... kids!

[Facing your 'fiery' gaze, Chu Yaomeng feels a bit uneasy and embarrassed, emotional fluctuation +10, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +1000]!]

[The girl secretly decides that she doesn't want to have kids for you, definitely not because she's afraid of having so many kids, emotional fluctuation +12, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +3000]!]

——————

"Don't worry, it's just tutoring! The fee is two hundred bucks an hour!"

"This is definitely more than what you would earn from a whole day's part-time job!"

"After all, we are classmates; I won't let you suffer because of this little money!"

Mu An secretly laughed in his heart.

Having kids was naturally just to scare her, but this girl (gold mine) he had his eye on was destined to not escape!

"No, that's too much!"

"I asked someone about the tutoring price earlier; it should only be about ten... fifteen bucks an hour!"

Chu Yaomeng said weakly.

No reward without effort.

She felt uneasy taking so much money!

"Just take it; tutoring for me, Mu Shao, is not the same as those outside, right? That would lower my status!"

Mu An pretended to be angry and glared at the girl.

The girl shrank her neck, not daring to speak.

"Young master, the fruits and drinks are ready. Do you have any other requests?"

Ning Er lowered her head and respectfully performed a maid's bow.

In fact, she was a bit surprised.

In her impression, it was the first time the young master brought a girl back.

And such a beautiful girl!

If she said there was no other relationship between them, she definitely wouldn't believe it!

"She will be my tutor for a while, Chu Yaomeng."

"As for the salary, Ning Er, just calculate it at two hundred bucks an hour! Settle it with her before she leaves every day!"

Mu An simply instructed.

He really wasn't too concerned about money.

After all, the emotional rewards from the female lead were the more valuable things!

"Okay, young master!"

Ning Er winked at Chu Yaomeng.

But the latter, like a startled bird, hurriedly avoided her gaze, completely not daring to make eye contact.

[She seems to be quite shy...]

[Could it be that the young master currently likes this kind of innocent girl?]

[Maybe I should find a chance to try this style someday...?]

Ning Er pondered.

Soon,

Mu An took Chu Yaomeng to the study.

After Ning Er brought in the fruits and drinks, she left understandingly.

Now the situation was that a lone man and a woman were in the same room.

To be honest, Chu Yaomeng's palms were starting to sweat from nervousness.

"I think we should do something else before the tutoring session!"

Mu An suddenly stood up and approached Chu Youmeng step by step.

"W-What do you want to do...?"

Chu Youmeng stuttered nervously.

She instinctively took a step back.

But right behind her was a table; she had nowhere else to retreat!

Could it be... is he trying to force a K... Kiss on me?!

"N-No... that's not allowed..."

Seeing the handsome face getting closer, the girl was so scared that she tightly shut her eyes.

Her heart was racing wildly in her chest, as if a little deer was about to jump out.

But after waiting for a long time, the anticipated kiss did not come!

Chu Youmeng opened her eyes in confusion.

On the other side.

*Thud~~*

Mu An simply took off the girl's frameless glasses and tidied up her bangs a bit.

In an instant, the beauty that had been hidden was revealed.

Her looks had risen by more than one level!

Just looking at her made one feel much better.

Both pleasing to the eye and a feast for the senses!

Mu An nodded, seemingly satisfied with his handiwork.

"Let me make it clear, my tutoring fees are not that easy to earn!"

"At least during my tutoring sessions, you have to show yourself with this beautiful face!"

"If you dress up nicely, it makes me feel good, and when I feel good, my learning efficiency will naturally be higher!"

Mu An said seriously.

He realized that this girl was becoming more and more beautiful, giving off a pure feeling of first love!

It almost made his heart flutter.

Huh?

But... is that it?

The girl tilted her head in confusion, and then her pretty face instantly turned red.

She had just... accidentally thought of something inappropriate...

It was simply mortifying!

[Your actions led to a significant misunderstanding, causing the girl to feel a flutter of spring feelings, but at the same time, she felt a bit anxious and scared. Chu Youmeng's emotional fluctuation +12, congratulations, you have received the reward [Physique +1]!]

[Chu Youmeng realized she misunderstood you and felt so shy she was almost socially dead, emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +3300]!]

...

Seeing the girl about to turn into a steam engine, Mu An secretly laughed.

In fact, he could have chosen to go straight for it, but that would definitely not be the best strategy.

With Chu Youmeng's personality, if he really did that, she would definitely refuse to come to his house next time!

Then how would he easily and happily collect emotional rewards in the future?

To maximize benefits, one must fish with a long line!

"That was just the first request!"

"My second request is that when you teach, you must be as confident and loud as possible, at least let me hear what you're saying!"

"And you can't be stuttering!"

"If you can do that, I'll pay you two hundred bucks an hour!"

"If you can't, for every sentence I can't hear clearly, or every sentence that sounds choppy, I'll deduct ten bucks from your pay!"

"So, don't think that two hundred bucks an hour is easy money; be careful, I might deduct it to the point where you owe me money!"

"As for other requests, I haven't thought of any for now; I'll let you know when I do!"

"Of course, you can rest assured that all my requests are reasonable and won't put you in a difficult position!"

Mu An said loudly.

There must be rules; he couldn't let her think that money was too easy to earn.

By keeping her in a tense mindset, her emotions would easily fluctuate, allowing him to achieve his goal of collecting rewards!

He really is a genius! So professional!

Mu An gave himself a thumbs up again.

Meanwhile, the girl couldn't help but shrink her neck.

Just speaking confidently... loudly?

It didn't seem too hard to do... maybe?

"Then, Teacher Chu Youmeng, let's start your performance, um, your lecture now!"

Mu An placed a pile of university textbooks he had prepared earlier on the table.

As for whether he really wanted to study seriously...

He could just cheat and level up; why would he study for nothing?

As a villain, collecting emotional rewards from the female lead (cheating) is the right path!

[You have used 11,100 proficiency points, and your [Introductory Level University Knowledge] has been upgraded!]

[Congratulations, you have perfectly mastered all university knowledge in various majors (it's that impressive, no explanation needed)!]

"From this moment on, any question you see will make you tremble!"

"Taking more than a second to come up with a solution is an insult to you!"

"You are the strongest university student in all majors!!"

——————

"Um (softly)..."

Chu Youmeng's little face showed some distress.

Since she hadn't prepared in advance, she didn't know where to start!

"Uh?"

Mu An raised an eyebrow.

"Um (slightly louder)..."

Chu Youmeng seemed to realize something and hurriedly spoke up again.

Although it was a bit louder than before, her tone still felt somewhat awkward.

It seemed she wasn't quite used to this way of speaking.

[Chu Youmeng's nervous emotional fluctuation +12, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +2000]!]

"That's more like it! If I feel that your teaching is effective, I'll give you an extra hundred bucks today!"

Mu An nodded in satisfaction.

The girl opened her mouth in surprise.

He just adds to her salary based on his mood without a second thought.

Is this the mindset of a rich person?

She seemed to not quite understand.

After that, Chu Youmeng thought seriously for a moment.

She came up with a set of questions to test Mu An's grasp of the knowledge in this professional book.

So she could formulate a study plan for him.

But this approach was directly rejected by Mu An.

"You can just follow your current review progress."

"You can start from the beginning or continue from where you left off!"

"I'm a genius; I understand just by listening!"

As soon as he said this, Chu Youmeng was directly shocked.

"Listening and understanding right away? What kind of perverted genius must that be? In her worldview, only through continuous memorization, learning, summarizing, reviewing, mastering the core thinking of textbooks, and constantly practicing different types of problems can one improve their grades. Because learning without effort is simply impossible to succeed! And she has consistently ranked in the top three in her academy for years. That is proof of her hard work!"

"But... that won't work!" Chu Youmeng wanted to express her disagreement in a tactful way.

"I say it will work, so it will! Just follow my requirements!" Mu An said firmly, not giving the girl a chance to refute. In an instant, Chu Youmeng felt a bit wronged. What kind of teacher teaches according to the student's own ideas? Clearly, she was doing it for his good! But he was so domineering, completely ignoring her opinions...

[Because of your domineering and unreasonable behavior, Chu Youmeng felt a bit wronged, clearly she was doing it for your good... The girl's emotional fluctuation +13, congratulations, you have received the reward [Spirit +1]!]

"Since you don't agree with my study method, how about we make a bet?" Mu An suddenly said with a smile. He couldn't miss such a good opportunity to earn rewards (show off)!

"W-what bet?" Chu Youmeng said weakly. She had a strange feeling that she was about to fall into a trap.
