Chapter 1
Looking at the Art Department's belle kneeling before him, giving him blowjob, Lin Fei felt that everything was unbelievable. Just this morning, he was a pathetic loser, broke and just dumped by his girlfriend. In just one day, he could make the Art Department's most beautiful girl serving him. This... this was just too awesome...
A dozen hours ago, Lin Fei, with his messy bedhead, was holding a brand-new iPhone 13 in the small woods by the school's artificial lake, anxiously waiting for his girlfriend, Zhou Xinyi, to arrive.
Recently, after class, Lin Fei had been working a part-time job delivering food, only returning to the dorm exhausted late at night. Continuous sleep deprivation and a lack of time to groom himself made Lin Fei look quite disheveled. The reason he worked so hard was that Zhou Xinyi had told him many times she wanted a new iPhone 13. It wasn't until yesterday, after all his hard work, that he finally saved up enough money for the phone. This morning, he had slept in, a rare occurrence. As soon as he got up, he checked the time, quickly washed up, and planned to go buy the phone to give Zhou Xinyi a surprise. "Fourth, where are you off to?" Everyone else in the dorm had left, leaving only the eldest roommate, Hu Dahai. He had been battling it out on his computer but stopped to ask when he saw Lin Fei about to leave.
"I got my salary yesterday and finally saved enough for the phone. I plan to buy it directly and surprise Xinyi. I need to get a haircut first and tidy up my image. Today is destined to be my shining moment." Lin Fei looked in the mirror, running a hand through his messy, unkempt hair.
"Wait a second." Hu Dahai stopped what he was doing, shamelessly pausing his character at the resurrection crystal, ignoring the curses from his teammates. He walked over with a serious expression and sat down on Lin Fei's bed.
"What's up, Big Bro? So serious?" The roommates usually got along very well, joking and messing around, so Lin Fei rarely saw Hu Dahai look so grave.
"Lin Zi, listen to me. Don't be in a hurry to buy that phone. Hold on to your money for now." Hu Dahai glanced at Lin Fei, seeming to want to say something but stopping short.
"What's wrong?" Lin Fei pondered Hu Dahai's words, a bad premonition rising in his heart. "You're not going to borrow money, are you, bro?" Lin Fei asked, covering his pocket with an exaggerated, forced laugh.
"Borrow my ass. That money already has Zhou Xinyi's name written on it. Don't ask why, just don't buy it for now." Hu Dahai cursed with a laugh, then changed the subject, "I've noticed you've been leaving early and coming back late lately. Have you two even met recently?"
Lin Fei's heart sank. The bad premonition grew stronger. In fact, it had been a while since Lin Fei had last seen Zhou Xinyi. Ever since Zhou Xinyi complained to Lin Fei that her roommate, Liu Yinyin, kept showing off her new phone in front of her, implying that she blamed Lin Fei for not buying her one, the two hadn't met. Lin Fei hadn't even seen her in class. Initially, Lin Fei didn't think much of it, assuming Zhou Xinyi was angry and deliberately avoiding him. He held a grudge and was determined to quickly save up enough money to buy the phone and surprise her. Therefore, he intentionally didn't message her. But hearing Hu Dahai's words today, it seemed something must have happened with Zhou Xinyi.
"It's been a while. What's up? Dahai, did you hear some rumors?" Since freshman year, Zhou Xinyi had been the goddess in Lin Fei's heart. Now a junior, he had been her "simp" for three years, only managing to win her over a few months ago. He knew Zhou Xinyi had two previous boyfriends, both of whom were quite well-off. Although Lin Fei always felt he wasn't as good as her two exes, he believed no one could treat her better than he did. Could it be... her ex-boyfriend was back to bother her?
"Sigh, Lin Zi, it's not a rumor I heard," Hu Dahai said, looking at the dark circles under Lin Fei's eyes, his heart hardening.
"I saw her get into Zhang Jiaming's car with my own eyes yesterday. I'd heard some whispers before that she'd been getting close to him lately, but there was no proof. Plus, I never saw you around, so I didn't mention it. But yesterday, I saw it with my own eyes. Give her a call today, get things straight. It won't be too late to buy the phone then..."
"Oh..." When Lin Fei heard that Zhou Xinyi had gotten into Zhang Jiaming's car, it was as if he'd been struck by lightning. He didn't hear a word of what Hu Dahai said afterwards, just staring blankly at Hu Dahai's mouth opening and closing. It wasn't until Hu Dahai patted him on the shoulder and went back to his computer that he snapped out of it.
Impossible. Absolutely impossible. Zhang Jiaming might be handsome and rich, but he's a notorious playboy. How could Zhou Xinyi...?
Lin Fei excitedly dialed Zhou Xinyi's number.
"Hello? What's up?" Zhou Xinyi's gentle but cold voice came from the other end.
"Xinyi, where are you?" Lin Fei tried his best to sound natural.
"I'm in the dorm. By the way, Lin Fei, I have something to talk to you about. Let's meet up." Zhou Xinyi's tone was neither sad nor happy, making it hard to guess what she wanted.
"Okay, let's meet at the woods by the lake in half an hour." After hanging up, Lin Fei casually threw on a jacket and rushed out.
"Lin Zi, don't be impulsive..." Hu Dahai's voice sounded from behind him.
In the end, Lin Fei ran to the phone store and bought the iPhone 13. He believed Zhou Xinyi wouldn't betray him. At most, they'd had a fight, and Zhang Jiaming happened to be pursuing her, so she wavered for a moment. After all, he had chased her, openly and secretly, for three years. He was by her side to comfort her when she was heartbroken, he sincerely wished her well when she got into a new relationship, and when she was heartbroken again, he was there to listen to her troubles, staying up all night for long phone calls with her. He finally moved her, and for the past six months they'd been together, he had done his absolute best for her. She wasn't unaware of that. She wouldn't. She definitely wouldn't betray him. The figure finally appeared in the distance, walking toward the anxiously waiting, Lin Fei.
Lin Fei looked at the pretty Zhou Xinyi before him. He hadn't seen her for a few days, but she was still as beautiful as ever. She wore a square-necked, black, long-sleeved top with a V-neck, A-line dress with a lace collar, looking youthful and vibrant.
"Lin Fei, let's break up..." Before Lin Fei could even speak, Zhou Xinyi said with a resolute expression.
"Xinyi, I was wrong these past few days for neglecting you. Actually, I've been working part-time to give you a surprise. Look, look, I bought the phone you like. Please don't be mad, okay?" With a panicked look on his face, Lin Fei shoved the phone box toward Zhou Xinyi.
Looking at the brand-new iPhone box in Lin Fei's hand, Zhou Xinyi didn't take it. A flicker of pity crossed her eyes, but she still said to Lin Fei firmly, "Lin Fei, thank you for all you've done for me over the years, but I don't actually like you. The reason I accepted your confession was that you comforted me during that time, and I really needed someone to help me get over the shadow of my last breakup. You just happened to be there, that's all. Don't blame me. For the past six months, I've tried to accept you, but I just can't... I'm sorry."
"Is it because of Zhang Jiaming?" Listening to Zhou Xinyi's words, Lin Fei felt as if all his strength had been drained away. He stared into her eyes and asked in despair.
"Lin Fei, I don't want to lie to you. We were actually together in high school. He was my first love. Even though we broke up later, a part of me has always belonged to him. Besides, he's helped me out a lot in secret over the years..." After speaking, Zhou Xinyi waved the latest iPhone 13 Pro Max in her hand at Lin Fei. "He already bought this for me a few days ago. Keep that one for yourself. Treat yourself better from now on. Goodbye." With that, Zhou Xinyi turned to leave.
Lin Fei's face turned deathly pale. In a panic, he grabbed Zhou Xinyi's wrist. "Why? Xinyi, you know Zhang Jiaming is just a fickle scumbag. How many girlfriends has he had in the past few years? Why? Why do you still like him? He won't be sincere with you!" Lin Fei roared in helpless rage.
Zhou Xinyi tried to shake her wrist free a few times but couldn't. His grip was painful, and she grew angry. "Let go of me! How do you know he won't be sincere with me? At least he can give me things you can't. Let go of me, Lin Fei! You're just making me sick, do you understand? Let go!" Zhou Xinyi looked at Lin Fei with disgust, shaking her arm violently as if his hand were the dirtiest thing in the world.
"You..." Lin Fei's heart ached as he looked at Zhou Xinyi, who was looking at him with such revulsion. He silently let go. He never imagined that after all he had given, he would be rewarded with the word "sick."
He watched from afar as Zhou Xinyi gracefully walked toward the school gate, bent down, and got into the Maserati that everyone knew belonged to Zhang Jiaming.
Lin Fei stood there dejectedly, staring blankly at the speeding Maserati, feeling like a complete joke.
"Isn't that Lin Fei? You don't know him? The one who's always delivering meals to Zhou Xinyi downstairs at the girls' dorm. Yeah, the King of Simps." Two passing girls whispered, looking at the miserable-looking Lin Fei.
"I heard he successfully won Zhou Xinyi over, didn't he?"
"Is that what you call success? Zhou Xinyi was just stringing him along as a backup. Didn't you just see her get into Zhang Jiaming's Maserati again? They've been like this for days now, going out at noon, coming back together in the morning. He's the only one who doesn't know, what a fool..."
"Shhh... don't say that. Look how pitiful he is. Let's go." The two girls cast a disdainful glance at Lin Fei and walked away quickly.
Lin Fei ignored their looks. After so many years of being a simp, he was immune to sarcasm and mockery. But their words echoed in his ears like thunder. Already sleeping together?!
Lin Fei roared inwardly. I've been with you for six months, and we haven't even kissed! At most, we held hands while shopping!
It's only been a few days, and you're already sleeping together?
Hah, disgusting. You have the nerve to call me disgusting?!
After his helpless rage, Lin Fei dejectedly walked to a bench by the roadside and sat down.
Hah, King of Simps. I'm the King of Simps. Hahahaha... Lin Fei laughed silently.
[Ding~ Simp System has located a host. Qualification verified. Congratulations host, system binding is complete.] A mechanical prompt suddenly sounded in Lin Fei's mind.
[Name: Lin Fei; Reserve Funds: Nine trillion RMB; Current Personal Savings: 320 RMB; Enhancement Points: 0]
What is this? Lin Fei stared at the virtual interface floating in the void, visible only to him.
Just as he was filled with doubt, a black card of an indiscernible but high-end material materialized in his hand.
This... what does this mean? I've bound with a system? Does that mean the reserve funds can be used for consumption through this card?! Lin Fei thought excitedly.
[The reserve funds are available for the host to spend at will, but can only be used for simp-related activities. Personal consumption is not included.]
At the first part of the sentence, Lin Fei was still immersed in the immense joy of calculating how much nine trillion was. The second part was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head. He had thought he was about to reach the pinnacle of his life, with all sorts of comebacks and face-slapping. But it turned out he could only spend money on others, while he himself was still penniless!
[As long as the host successfully conquers a goddess, ten percent of the amount spent on simping for her will be transferred to the host's personal account, becoming their personal property.] Hearing this prompt, Lin Fei finally understood. As long as he frantically simp for goddesses, buying them things, then once he successfully wins them over, for every million he spends, he gets a hundred thousand. For every ten million, he gets a million. If he kept this up, wouldn't he eventually achieve financial freedom?
Suppressing his excitement, Lin Fei followed the system's instructions and linked the black card to his mobile payment account.
I have to go try this out. After binding it, Lin Fei excitedly ran to the campus supermarket. He casually grabbed a can of soda, but when he tried to pay with the black card's account, he couldn't open the payment interface no matter what. After trying countless times, he sighed. "It seems it really can't be used for personal consumption. So who should I simp for? Do I have to go back to Zhou Xinyi?" Lin Fei wondered.
"Hey, can you hurry up? What's the hold-up? There are people behind you." A fashionable girl standing behind Lin Fei said impatiently. She wore a white shirt with a long, stylish black tie that reached her waist, a tight black miniskirt, sheer flesh-colored stockings on her long, slender legs, and a pair of black high heels.
Lin Fei was stunned by her delicate features and exquisite makeup. Her outfit was too sexy. She didn't look like a student at all, more like a young professional.
"I'm sorry, miss. Can I add you on WeChat? To apologize, I'll pay for your things." Lin Fei said with a sincere expression.
Normally, he would never have the nerve to ask for someone's WeChat in front of so many people. But he was now driven mad by the nine trillion and was desperate to find someone to test it on.

Reminder: Success conquest is achieved when favorability reaches 95 points.

My god, this is the detailed explanation of the Simp System. So there are so many benefits after successfully conquering a goddess! This is fantastic!
The more Lin Fei thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more intense his gaze on Zhao Xiaoxuan became, like a starving man staring at a delicious meal.
[Zhao Xiaoxuan's Favorability: -50] As Zhao Xiaoxuan looked at Lin Fei's gaze, her favorability, which had just been at -30, dropped to -50.
Once favorability drops into the negatives, it can be considered disgust. And a -50 level of disgust was already very high.
"Hmph~" Zhao Xiaoxuan scoffed. Looking at Lin Fei, who was dressed in cheap clothes, with messy, unkempt hair and dark circles under his eyes, she thought, "What a loser, trying to hit on people." "Sure, I can give you my WeChat," she said arrogantly. "But paying for my things isn't enough. You have to pay for everyone here. Then I'll give you my WeChat. How about it?" Zhao Xiaoxuan looked at Lin Fei with contempt.
"Isn't that Zhao Xiaoxuan?" Hearing the conversation between Lin Fei and Zhao Xiaoxuan, onlookers nearby started to whisper. "The Art Department's flower? Damn, she lives up to her reputation, she's so beautiful!"
"Who's that guy asking for her WeChat? Doesn't he know his place?"
"It looks like... the King of Simps, Lin Fei."
"Has that guy gone crazy? He wants Zhao Xiaoxuan's WeChat? What did he just say? He'll pay for her things? Unbelievable. Plenty of rich, handsome guys chase after Zhao Xiaoxuan. Did he get water in his brain today?"
"I heard he got cucked by Zhou Xinyi. Maybe the shock drove him crazy..." Another classmate of Lin Fei's who knew the situation joined the discussion.
Lin Fei stared at his phone, hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said with great confidence, "Fine, I'll pay for everyone's bill here today."
As soon as Lin Fei said this, most of the students in the supermarket crowded over. Some cheered, some wanted to see how Lin Fei would handle the situation, and others just egged him on.
"Are you sure?" Zhao Xiaoxuan didn't expect Lin Fei to actually agree and looked at him in shock.
"For the things everyone here has, is one hundred thousand enough?" Lin Fei scanned a QR code and then looked at the cashier auntie.
"It, it should be enough..." As a supermarket cashier at a university, she was used to seeing these young men and women flirting and hitting on each other. She had thought this ordinary-looking boy in front of her would just be teased a little and then leave in shame. She never expected things to escalate like this. Looking at the boy's expression, he didn't seem to be joking...
"Alipay payment received: One hundred thousand RMB~"
"Everyone, eat and drink whatever you want today! Everything is courtesy of Ms. Zhao Xiaoxuan!" In the shocked gazes of everyone, Lin Fei shouted loudly.
In that moment, the entire place fell silent. No one expected Lin Fei to spend a hundred thousand yuan just because of Zhao Xiaoxuan's joke.
Was this still the King of Simps, Lin Fei? How did he suddenly get so rich? And he looked so relaxed, as if he didn't care about the hundred thousand at all.
"Brother Lin is so badass!" Someone in the crowd yelled.
"Hurry up and grab stuff!" Only then did everyone react, rushing to the shelves to grab whatever they wanted. After all, this kind of free-for-all didn't happen every day.
"Can I add your WeChat now?" Lin Fei said with a smile.
"You can scan me." Zhao Xiaoxuan, very surprised, pulled up her friend verification code.
It's real, hahaha, I'm the richest person in the world now! Lin Fei was ecstatic that his experiment was a success.
[Zhao Xiaoxuan: Favorability 20] The prompt sounded again.
It increased by 20 points just like that? Lin Fei thought for a second, then quickly caught up with Zhao Xiaoxuan, who was walking away with a puzzled expression after adding him.
"Can I take you shopping today? I'll pay for everything." Lin Fei said, stepping in front of Zhao Xiaoxuan.
Zhao Xiaoxuan looked at Lin Fei for five seconds, then a smile bloomed on her face. "Okay."
