Sitting inside a quiet coffee shop early at seven in the morning, the Chu sisters all sat together drinking coffee.
The atmosphere was unusually serious.
"So that’s how it is...?" Chu Luoshen muttered quietly after a long silence.
She rubbed her forehead tiredly.
"That honestly explains a lot about what’s been wrong with Chu Fang lately..."
Across from her, Chu Mei’s hands tightened around her coffee cup.
"Then what do we do? I want our real little brother back."
Chu Chuchu calmly took a bite out of her croissant.
"Is there actually anything we can do?"
At that moment, Chu Zijin suddenly smirked confidently.
"Of course there is."
She immediately stood up, causing her chair to slide backward slightly.
Then, in a low but determined voice, she declared:
"You all need to join Shen Tian’s harem."
Silence.
Without another word, Chu Luoshen, Chu Mei, and Chu Chuchu all stood up at the same time and began walking toward the exit.
"WAIT!"
Chu Zijin hurriedly chased after them outside the coffee shop.
"You all love him anyway! Why can’t we just share him?!"
The three sisters continued walking silently.
Chu Zijin desperately shouted one last thing.
"We need numbers!"
That made them stop.
Chu Zijin quickly continued.
"What if the other women in Shen Tian’s harem start looking down on us?! We need sister power!"
The moment those words landed...
The atmosphere changed instantly.
The three sisters slowly turned around.
"...Other women?"
"With Shen Tian?"
"Besides us?"
Their eyes gradually darkened.
At that moment, they finally realized something terrifying.
Even if they fought among themselves...
There were still other women around Shen Tian too.
Their internal competition transformed into territorial unity.
Chu Mei crossed her arms.
"...So we really do need to join his harem."
Chu Luoshen sighed deeply.
"And share Shen Tian..."
Chu Chuchu looked emotionally exhausted already.
None of them truly wanted to share him.
But at the same time...
They also understood something painfully clear.
A man like Shen Tian could never be tied down by a single woman alone.
All three reluctantly agreed.
Seeing this, Chu Zijin secretly let out a sigh of relief.
’Shen Tian really was right about this approach...’
She genuinely managed to unite them.
Still, Chu Luoshen soon asked the more important question.
"...What was that other thing you mentioned earlier? About taking away Chu Fang’s Fate?"
Chu Zijin glanced around carefully.
Even nearby pedestrians were secretly staring at the sisters due to how beautiful they all were together.
"...Let’s talk somewhere private first."
The others agreed immediately.
Soon afterward, the sisters all drove separately toward Chu Luoshen’s house.
Inside the living room...
Chu Chuchu slowly repeated everything she had heard to make sure she understood correctly.
"So... We’re supposed to play along with Chu Fang for now. And Shen Tian will gradually take away his Fate by outperforming him and weakening his protagonist status?"
Chu Zijin nodded.
"And once his Fate reaches zero," Chu Chuchu continued carefully, "Shen Tian can feed him a pill... And our real little brother will return?"
Chu Zijin nodded.
"If you still don’t believe me... You can ask Shen Tian yourselves."
Then after a brief pause, she added softly,
"But all of you trust Shen Tian already... right?"
None of the sisters dared say they didn’t trust him.
They all loved him.
One by one...
They all slowly nodded.
With a distinct sound, Chu Zijin brought her hands together.
"Perfect! Then let’s all help Shen Tian bring our little brother back!"
Chu Fang walked into school that morning with complete confidence written across his face.
After spending the entire night having his intelligence boosted by the system, he genuinely felt unstoppable.
As he passed by other students in the hallways, he casually smirked and said,
"Good luck today with the math competition."
Unfortunately...
Most students either ignored him completely or awkwardly avoided eye contact.
At this point, Chu Fang barely even felt like someone their age anymore.
Still, he simply assumed they were intimidated by his protagonist aura.
Eventually, he arrived at the auditorium where the competition was being held.
Students slowly filled the massive room while teachers and staff prepared everything near the stage.
Chu Fang glanced around before casually taking a seat near the very back.
Then his eyes quickly found someone on stage.
Chu Luoshen.
Instantly, he raised his hand and waved toward her happily.
Their eyes met.
For a brief moment, Chu Luoshen froze slightly.
Now that she knew the truth...
Now that she knew the person inside Chu Fang wasn’t truly her little brother anymore...
Seeing him smile at her honestly felt uncomfortable.
Still...
She knew she had to continue acting naturally for now.
So after forcing herself mentally, she slowly waved back with a stiff smile.
Seeing this, Chu Fang relaxed back into his chair happily.
Then he yawned confidently.
"Ahh... This is going to be way too easy."
The system’s voice echoed inside his head.
[Host, please do not lose this competition.]
[I enhanced your intelligence throughout the entire night.]
Hearing that, Chu Fang rolled his eyes.
"Relax. I’ve got this. You worry too much."
The principal stepped up onto the stage and adjusted the microphone.
"Good morning, students!"
The auditorium gradually quieted down.
"As you all know, today is our district-wide mathematics competition."
He began explaining the rules carefully.
"You will each receive a Chromebook containing your test questions. Every correct answer will increase your score."
Then he turned and pointed toward a giant digital leaderboard displayed behind him.
"All your names and scores will appear live on the screen. So do your best!"
Staff members began handing Chromebooks out to all the students.
The moment Chu Fang received his...
His eyes lit up with excitement.
He already started imagining himself dominating the leaderboard completely.
Maybe someone would accuse him of cheating afterward.
Then he could coldly prove everyone wrong and face-slap them publicly.
Just imagining that scene made him grin.
"That’d actually be amazing..." Chu Fang muttered happily.
More than anything else, Chu Fang was looking forward to one specific moment today.
Seeing Big Sister Chu Luoshen completely shocked by his score.
He could already imagine her praising him proudly afterward.
[Now THIS is how a protagonist should perform,] he thought confidently.
Soon, the competition officially began.
The entire auditorium became silent except for typing sounds.
Chu Fang immediately looked down at the first problem on his Chromebook.
∫01ln⁡3(x)1+x+x2 dx\int_0^1 \frac{\ln^3(x)}{1+x+x^2}\,dx∫011+x+x2ln3(x)dx
He stared at it for less than a second.
Then rolled his eyes.
"...Too easy."
Without hesitation, he immediately began solving it.
His fingers moved rapidly across the keyboard while his boosted intelligence processed the questions at absurd speed.
And just like that...
His score began skyrocketing upward.
The giant leaderboard updated live in real time.
Students, teachers, and staff all slowly began noticing something terrifying.
Chu Fang’s name was climbing at ridiculous speed.
"He’s already at question twenty?!"
"What?!"
"That’s impossible!"
Within only minutes, Chu Fang had already reached question seventy-five.
Meanwhile, most students were barely reaching question five.
The entire auditorium was stunned.
Teachers stared at the leaderboard in disbelief.
Even the principal looked shaken.
Only Chu Luoshen remained emotionally detached.
Chu Fang himself was feeling incredible.
He leaned back slightly while smirking.
[Too easy. This is absolute domination.]
He glanced over at the leaderboard.
And froze.
Another score was rapidly climbing upward.
Fast.
Extremely fast.
Almost catching him.
Chu Fang’s eyes widened.
"...What the hell?"
He quickly looked closer.
A random little boy with blond hair.
Some kid he had never even noticed before.
Yet somehow...
That child’s score was increasing like a rocket.
Instantly, panic began setting in.
"Crap. Crap, crap, crap!"
Chu Fang hurriedly returned to solving questions faster and faster.
His emotions immediately became unstable.
The system quickly warned him.
[Host, calm down.]
[You must remain emotionally stable to maintain peak performance.]
[No matter how intelligent you are, losing control will cause mistakes.]
Chu Fang quickly took a deep breath.
"...You’re right."
But the exact moment those words left his mouth...
BEEEEEP.
The competition completion sound echoed throughout the entire auditorium.
Everything instantly became silent.
Everyone looked toward the giant leaderboard.
And there, sitting at the very top...
Was the random little boy’s name.
Tian Tian.
100 Questions Completed.
100 Correct.
Fastest Time.
Chu Fang froze completely.
His mind nearly exploded.
The random little boy calmly closed his Chromebook while the auditorium erupted into chaos.
"No way!"
"A perfect score?!"
"Who IS that kid?!"
Chu Fang’s hands trembled violently.
At one point, he genuinely wanted to lift his Chromebook and throw it across the room at the child.
[HE STOLE MY SPOTLIGHT!]
His inner scream practically echoed through the entire auditorium.
Still...
With immense effort...
Chu Fang forcefully calmed himself down before he embarrassed himself publicly.
