An Ordinary Guy's Save-and-Reload Guide to Surviving in Haitang

After transmigrating to Haitang City, the ordinary young man holding a cigarette trembled slightly.

No need to panic. He was just an ordinary person who'd been ordinary for eighteen years, a mere background character at most. He definitely wasn't the protagonist of some weird novel!

A System pop-up suddenly appeared: [Congenital aquagenic urticaria detected in Host. Haitang's local climate and customs have been tailored to suit you. Have a pleasant stay :)]

Putong: ??? What the hell, is this a horror movie?!

The sun blazed down during gym class. Putong tried to ignore his classmates' unnatural twitching. He'd just finished running three thousand meters... Barely alive, he grabbed the passing professor by the sleeve, his voice weak and breathless. "Quick... take me to the infirmary... I'm allergic to sweat..."

Guan Qinjiao loosened his tie and pinned him against the first-aid cabinet. His voice was low and amused. "Trying to seduce your teacher with a new trick? You're quite the player."

Putong's hand shook. "Are you crazy?!" He'd been defiled! He was furious! Without another word, he reloaded and started over, then threw up all over the other man on the spot.

He wiped his mouth, looking entirely justified and refreshed. "Do you believe me now?"

The professor, struck by his obsessive cleanliness, looked at himself covered in filth and trembled all over. Then, in spectacular fashion, he fainted right into the vomit...

Putong pinched his nose. "Ewwww... Professor, you're not allowed to sleep here."

Putong was forcibly dragged into the communal bathroom by his tall roommate. Through the steamy haze, Putong gasped and shrank back. "Don't come over... I have water... aquagenic urticaria..."

The roommate stared at the lines revealed as his towel slipped, his Adam's apple bobbing hard. The next second, he was about to give in to his animal instincts.

Putong: So the protagonist's love interest couldn't find a cup, and decided to use me instead!

Putong clutched his little towel, furious. "Don't you dare insult a straight man's dignity!"

Unable to take it any longer, he reloaded again. He grabbed the mop handle from the corner and smacked the guy right on the butt. "That's what you get for misbehaving! And you even dared to cover it up!?"

He twisted his wrist and switched to hitting the front!

The tall roommate covered himself and wailed, "Dad! I'll call you Daddy! I'm sorry! I won't do it again!"

Putong took on heaven and earth! Before he knew it, he'd become the toughest guy in Haitang City, and only belatedly realized that an annoying tagalong had stuck to him and wouldn't leave.

Huh? Wasn't this the protagonist's love interest from Haitang City?!

He leaned in to take a closer look and suddenly noticed the other guy had an incredible constitution: a light pinch left a red mark, but no matter what happened, it was sure to heal completely by the next day!

Putong's eyes lit up: What a treasure!

After that, Haitang City had a cute-looking but incredibly tough guy who followed his big brother around every day, begging him to make their relationship official...

Another perspective:

Haitang had been a model student since childhood, excelling both in academics and conduct. From complex mechanical armor to everyday life, he seemed like a genius. But the people around him had taught him from a young age that he had to be obedient, training him to become a delicate, sweet creature who burped like a baby.

Haitang was disgusted, but... his body couldn't fight back. He felt as if his soul had died, until the day he turned eighteen... He was cornered by a group of people in the gym...

Then he watched them pounce on him, return to the starting point, pounce on him, return to the starting point...

Haitang: "?"

Later, in the bathroom, he saw the culprit.

After he was done "taking care" of him, the culprit spoke in a sweet, delicate voice: "Help me..."

Putong: "Boy or girl?"

Haitang: "..."

That very day, he burned The Baby's Guide to Sweet Little Burps!
