For a long time, Xia Yu didn't respond, causing Yuxue to doubt herself.
Controlling someone else's body, how could that be possible?
However, she felt that she was just talking to herself anyway, so there was no harm in trying.
Catching her right hand and saying "Come out, Dark Flame Dragon" or draping a bedsheet over her and saying "I love you, rise up" were both normal things to try – maybe one of them would actually work!
So even if Xia Yu ignored her, she continued to chatter.
She was only doing this to satisfy her childish fantasies, without any real expectations.
As she was lost in her thoughts, her body spoke: "It's me."
Her brain froze for a moment before Yuxue asked, "Who is it?"
"Weren't you just asking me to admit it?" Xia Yu retorted.
"Really?"
Xia Yu didn't know how to respond to that, she had just insisted that she recognized him, but now that he had admitted it, she didn't believe him.
"Pinch me to see if I'm dreaming," said Yuxue.
So Xia Yu pinched the girl's face.
"Ouch! It really is you, brother!" Yuxue exclaimed in surprise. "How did you do it, magic? Spells? Alien technology? Don't tell me you just died?"
As she spoke, Yuxue became nervous.
"Don't worry, I'm not dead," Xia Yu sighed, almost everyone he had possessed had thought he was a ghost.
Yuxue calmed down and asked, "So how did you get here?"
"The bond between siblings is magical, so I came here," Xia Yu made up an excuse.
"Did you also turn Little Black?" Yuxue thought about the abnormality of the black cat and inferred the truth from the fact that every time the cat got involved, Xia Yu wasn't with her.
"Yes," Xia Yu agreed.
"Is there anything else? Brother, are you just playing with other people's bodies in your room?" Yuxue excitedly wanted to dig out more secrets.
Without answering, Xia Yu sat up and scratched his feet.
"No, hahaha!" Yuxue couldn't help laughing from the tickling, so she quickly changed the subject:
"So what are you doing here, Brother? Can you extract magic from other people's bodies and strengthen yourself? Have you come to my body today to share some of the accumulated magic with me? With that power, can I also possess others? Can I become beautiful? Can I fly?"
"You wish." Xia Yu had a headache from the girl's questions. Since the incident happened suddenly, he was completely unprepared to deal with them.
He decided to stall for now.
"My magic power is running low, so I won't talk to you anymore."
After that, Xia Yu looked at his skill level.
It was up to level 3.
Level 3 wasn't low, but Xia Yu thought that his relationship with Yuxue could have reached level 4 or above.
The level 3 Exam Education skill wouldn't be very useful.
Would he fail this mission? Would he have to spend experience points on this skill? However, he couldn't delay further with Xu Youxiang, and even if he upgraded the skill to level 4, it wasn't guaranteed that he could be the provincial top scorer.
During the last middle school instrument competition, Xia Yu reached second place in the provincial level 2 contest with level 4 and if the non-Su province city Yao Guang's An Siyao was removed, he would be Su province's first place.
In other words, reaching level 4 would almost be enough to dominate the entire province. But considering that there are more people taking college entrance exams than learning instruments, the competition is even fiercer, so it's better to aim for level 5 for more stability.
There's undoubtedly no hope for level 3.
After thinking for a while, Xia Yu suddenly had an idea.
He didn't immediately extract the test-taking education skill but instead used the soothing skill to enter sleep.
The benefits of level 3 also allowed Xia Yu to stay with Yuxue, but staying with her all the time served no purpose, so at seven o'clock the next morning, after spending eight hours and collecting game points, he returned to his own body.
As he was sitting up and getting dressed, Yuxue rushed in.
"Brother, you..." The girl suddenly stopped, unable to confirm whether the events of last night were real or just a dream of her own.
"What's wrong?" Xia Yu got off the bed and straightened his clothes.
After hesitating for a while, fearing that she would be considered as having an adolescent delusion, Yuxue chose to indirectly ask: "What were you doing last night, brother?"
"Weren't you with me?" Xia Yu retorted.
"Not after I fell asleep!"
"I was still with you."
"So it was real!" The girl opened her eyes wide, jumped forward, and hugged Xia Yu's arm. "Hurry up and let me try it again."
"Do you think it's easy? I can't just use it casually." Xia Yu refused Yuxue's request.
"Just let me try, just a little bit." Pulling Xia Yu's hand, Yuxue skillfully used her own talent for acting spoiled.
Coincidentally, Xia Yu also wanted to verify his guess from last night, so he agreed.
"Do I need to prepare anything?" Yuxue was a bit nervous.
"No need." Xia Yu entered the game.
Yuxue just felt her vision blur, and her body was no longer under her control.
"It's amazing!" The girl exclaimed.
"Now you know it's real, right?" Xia Yu said while opening the bonus.
The bonus was still at level 3, but the number 3 began to blur.
Two seconds later, the 3 turned into a 4.
This girl didn't believe it was real last night, so the intimacy level didn't reach the highest.
With level 4 test-taking education, he could strive to be the top in the city if he worked hard for the next two months.
At the same time, he began to look forward to the rewards that level 4 could bring, as level 3 offered blank slots and time limit removal.
The prompt text appeared.
Xia Yuxue's bonus reached level 4.
You can choose one of the following rewards:
1. Blank slot
2. 15 game points (for this account only)
3. AI personality change for trusteeship
Xia Yu's gaze instantly focused on the option with 15 game points.
Game points were essential, as they could be exchanged for experience cards. As long as he spent eight hours in non-practice skill gameplay, he could get 480 game points, which could be exchanged for a double experience card.
The acquisition of game points is very strict. With a level 3 body, Xia Yu can log in continuously for 24 hours, but the game points will only be calculated for 8 hours, strictly controlling the number of points obtained. Although making the original owner of the body happy can also earn extra points, it's not possible for someone to be happy every day, and the happiness required is not ordinary happiness.
During his time with Yin Shulan, Xia Yu only earned extra points doing translations for those three days. Afterwards, helping Yin Ling teach a lesson to the school bully only earned him regular points.
He thought there were no other ways to increase points, but surprisingly, there was a pleasant surprise.
Although game points can only be obtained using Yuxue's body, experience cards can be used in any other person's body!
Without hesitation, Xia Yu chose option 2.
From now on, he would have to ask Yuxue for more help.
After choosing the rewards, some basic level 4 benefits were displayed in front of Xia Yu.
