[This is a new author's first novel, and it has many shortcomings. If that bothers you, please read with caution.]
Blurb:
On the day Xue Yao went to register at college, she accidentally transmigrated into an RPG and became a freshman at Hellish Slacker University.
No need to panic. Let's check the main quest
[Study hard, make progress every day, and graduate as soon as possible! Current credits: 0/100]
Great, she got it! Earn 100 credits and she'll clear the game and return to reality, right?
Then what was her major... Early Childhood Education for Hellspawn Babies!?
Her classes included making baby food for demons, counseling depressed ghosts, and postpartum care for demons...!?
She felt like an illiterate who'd missed out on nine years of compulsory education. Otherwise, why couldn't she understand a single thing on her schedule?
She didn't want to go to class, but she couldn't afford to lose the credits.
No rush. What kind of RPG doesn't let you skip the story?
She selected "skip all" for every class! RPGs were a godsend for a slacker like her who liked to coast and slack off! No wonder it was called "Slacker" University!
Except her leisurely college life, where she attended class three days out of five, got a tiny bit more exciting thanks to the NPC roommate she'd accidentally bound herself to at the start, Yun Ze!
For example, during the dorm's nightly tower defense, she timidly picked a dark, secluded corner. When she turned around, her NPC roommate had picked up a mandrake and was cheerfully following her back to the dorm.
Xue Yao: "Why would you pick up an item that draws aggro?!"
Yun Ze: This mandrake suits me~
And then there was the game settlement, where leftover gold was converted into store points at a set rate.
[Your roommate used the [The Pinker the Color, the More You Spend] item to advance gold in advance. Your store points are: -99999]
As she stared at the bold, glowing system notification, Xue Yao's vision went black. She was going to kill that bastard!!!
[You challenged Yun Ze]
[Yun Ze declined your challenge]
Yun Ze (Lv.85): Weaklings aren't worthy opponents.
Slacker Xue Yao (Lv.10): …
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Never bully a young man for being poor!
From then on, her grindset blazed!
She was going to reload her save! Go back to the start!
Skip the story? Not a chance!
Skip daily quests? She'd grind herself into the ground!
Get a romance route? Hard pass!
She was going to grind like crazy, rack up experience, earn points like mad, and collect every item and skill there was!
Finally, after grinding to level 99, with fewer than two digits' worth of students at the whole school ranking above her, with the convenience store she'd opened expanded beyond campus, with her NPC roommate finally kneeling at her feet, and with all 100 credits earned, she was about to leave...
[Congratulations, player, on completing the main quest. Next, enter the hidden world and continue completing quests with enthusiasm!]
Xue Yao, waiting for the system to pop up the option to exit the game: ?
*
A funny, sarcastic heroine who just wants to slack off but has no choice but to become a top student~
A cool guy who seems cold on the outside but is actually a little unhinged and loves courting death~
[Reader's Guide]
1. Ensemble cast elements + RPG + management + tower defense.
2. Before her first save reload, the heroine is a weakling who likes to slack off. After reloading, she becomes a grinding powerhouse, growing stronger and taking everyone down.
3. The male lead isn't just window dressing, but he has nothing to do with the heroine's leveling quests. He's only there to provide emotional support.
Theme: Dispel the gloom and pierce the darkness
Madam, when will you switch to paid status? [Shut up]
