The Green Tea Baiter at the Aristocratic Academy

Yue Shuo is a gold digger, and a troll to boot. Hoping to find a rich woman to buy him gear and luxury goods, he enrolled in an elite academy as a special admit.

In real life, he's timid and meek. Online, he hits hard.

He's been playing online games since third grade, and knows exactly how to insult people. He started with the lowest form of trash talk, dragging people's parents into it, then moved on to razor-sharp sarcasm and targeted takedowns, before evolving into a master who could insult you without using a single swear word. By college, he had reached his ultimate form: the National Server's Master of Sarcasm.

He insults people so subtly they don't even notice, mixing in a little faux-naive talk, a few rainbow-colored compliments, and just enough praise to bring them down, all while claiming he's only looking out for them. By the time his targets realize they've been insulted, he's already swept away without a trace, leaving them hopping mad and helpless with rage.

He'd had a perfect record until he hit a wall at the elite academy.

First, there was his gloomy roommate, dressed head to toe in no-name clothes, looking as broke as they came. He wore a deathly expression and ignored Yue Shuo's friendly overtures, then tossed his milk tea, which cost a whopping thirty yuan a cup, straight into the trash.

Yue Shuo's private note: Dead Face (so arrogant he probably walks with his dick)

Then there was the campus heartthrob in his class. Not only was he taller than Yue Shuo, he was more handsome. Not only was he more handsome, he got better grades. Not only did he get better grades, he was richer, and even his name sounded like a romance-novel hero. Worst of all, he kept taking everything from Yue Shuo! His grades! The women he wanted to hit on! This guy stole them all!

Yue Shuo's note: Mary Sue's Rival in Everything (steals everything, why not go steal a couple of pounds from the toilet too?)

Next was the short-tempered guy he met on the basketball court. He was handsome, tall, and good at basketball, and seemed determined to knock Yue Shuo flying a hundred miles.

Yue Shuo's note: High-Energy Consumable (put him in Earth's propulsion system as fuel and the planet could travel five hundred light-years)

Finally, there was the gentle class monitor and student council president, who was sweet to everyone and gently ordered Yue Shuo around every day, making him do all sorts of things, including work that wasn't even his responsibility.

The more Yue Shuo thought about it, the angrier he got. His note: Evil Old Stud (an old masochist who likes exploiting others to feel validated. Pathetic.)

Then someone told him there was an F4 at the academy.

Yue Shuo opened the forum and saw, plain as day, that they were those four guys. The post was full of their fangirls. He quietly left an anonymous comment:

I can't hold it in! Did the OP write this with their heel? Have they shaken their brains into a smooth paste? F4, my ass. More like Four Stupid Bastards! I'd suggest going back to elementary school. My fourth-grade cousin and you would have a lot in common.

Then he immediately switched to an alt and posted anonymously again: How can the person above talk like that? How can they slander my gods? What have we done to deserve breathing the same air as these four true deities, and yet you still slander them! What are your motives?! I propose we build statues for the four of them, sisters! Put them in front of the portraits of all the former principals, since they've benefited the whole world. I think Gu Yan and Su Chi should stand right in the middle. As the saying goes, the prettiest children belong in the center [shy.jpg]

He watched the thread go from people furiously roasting him to a complete reversal, with everyone arguing fiercely for their own F. It turned into a battle for the ages. One brain-dead fan even called in a construction crew, and then the school administration stepped in.

Yue Shuo smiled faintly, his achievements hidden from view.

At last, he'd managed to charm the top-ranked female fan. When they met in person, their conversation went so well that she'd even invited him to go abroad with her. But then four men stepped out from behind her...

"I hear these IDs all belong to you?"

Yue Shuo took a step back and accepted his bad luck. They really were like ghosts, never leaving him alone, targeting him at every turn. To get revenge, they'd resorted to the most disgusting methods. They kept touching and kissing him, trying to make sure the Yue family line died out. How vicious!

The more Yue Shuo thought about it, the angrier he got. His excellent genes had to be passed on. So he decided to take a leave of absence and head straight to an esports team to show off his prowess once more.

Before leaving, he mass-messaged them.

[Hubby, look at me]

[Am I fair? Am I soft? Wanna touch?]

This'll disgust the hell out of you, brothers!

He turned off his phone and happily boarded the plane...
