The photo was frozen, perfectly capturing Zhang Yining (ning) with her face turned, laughing and chatting with her companion. Her smile was still sweet, but in Lu Xuan's eyes, it was full of hypocrisy and malice.

Whew...
The sound of falling wind seemed to still linger in his ears, but the scene before him made Lu Xuan suddenly sit upright.
Blinding white light, a familiar tiered classroom, a figure speaking endlessly on the podium, and the slightly immature Students around him...
Wasn't this the scene from the beginning of his university life?
Hadn't he suffered from depression due to years of online bullying, finally jumping from a rooftop in despair?
Could it be... he had been reborn?
As this absurd thought emerged, a cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
Detected host's strong unwillingness and resentment, meeting the binding requirements for the Black Material System.
The host was plagued by so-called Black Material his entire life; now, he has obtained the Black Material System.
The system has automatically bound to the host's phone. Please use the Black Material APP to photograph the target person to obtain their unknown Black Material information.
Please note, different Black Materials have different values. The higher the value, the greater the potential impact.
Detected host's first binding. Would you like to open the Newbie Gift Pack ?
Black Material System? Newbie Gift Pack?
Lu Xuan's heart pounded. It wasn't an illusion! He really had been reborn, and just like in novels, he had gained a golden finger—a System!
The frustration, pain, and despair of his previous life surged like a tide, then were washed away by this sudden hope.
His fingers trembled slightly with excitement.
"Open! Open it immediately!"
He silently chanted in his mind, his voice carrying a hint of imperceptible hoarseness.
Newbie Gift Pack opened successfully!
Congratulations to the host: Obtained one Muscle King Twisted Doughnut, one Top-tier Beauty Enhancement Needle, and two Black Material Exchange Vouchers!
A series of prompts overwhelmed Lu Xuan.
Top-tier Beauty Enhancement Needle, as the name suggests, should be for improving appearance—a common trope in novels, he understood.
Black Material Exchange Vouchers, probably for directly exchanging certain Black Materials? This wasn't hard to guess either.
But... Muscle King Twisted Doughnut? Why did that name sound so improper?
It sounded like some strange snack, but this was from the System; it couldn't really be something to eat, could it?
Who cares! Just use it first!
"System, use Muscle King Twisted Doughnut! Use Top-tier Beauty Enhancement Needle!"
Lu Xuan impatiently issued the command in his mind.
As soon as the command was given, an indescribable warm current instantly rose from his dantian, like a stone dropped into a calm lake, rippling outwards and rapidly spreading throughout his limbs and bones.
Immediately after, another gentle warmth concentrated on his face, as if countless warm little hands were gently caressing and kneading it.
This feeling... was very strange.
He instinctively clenched his fists. His body, which had been somewhat weak and listless, was now filled with explosive power, as if every muscle had been re-forged, compressed, and filled with resilience and vitality.
He could even clearly feel the muscle lines beneath his shirt becoming smoother and tighter.
Looking at his blurred reflection in the window glass, Lu Xuan was stunned.
Was that still himself?
His skin, which had been somewhat dull due to long-term staying up late and depression, now became fair and delicate, subtly radiating a healthy glow.
His facial features also seemed more profound and Stereo , especially his eyes, which had shed their past gloom and become clear and bright, possessing an indescribable charm when he looked around.
His entire being seemed to have been reborn, transforming from a somewhat dispirited ordinary young man into a sunny, handsome, and vibrant campus heartthrob.
Just then, a translucent panel, visible only to him, appeared before his eyes.
Host: Lu Xuan
Appearance: 75 -> 96 (Extraordinarily Charming)
Physique: 44 -> 80 (Beyond Ordinary)
Inventory: Black Material Exchange Voucher x 2
His appearance directly soared to 96! His physique nearly doubled, reaching an astonishing 80!
Lu Xuan took a deep breath, suppressing the wild joy in his heart.
Feeling the surging power within his body and the confidence brought by his improved appearance, a flame of revenge ignited deep within his eyes.
Heaven had given him a chance to start over, and even gifted him such a powerful System. If he still couldn't make those who had once trampled on his dignity and ruined his life pay the price, then he would have been reborn in vain, and would not be worthy of the desperate leap he made in his previous life!
The scenes of his previous life resurfaced in his mind.
It was in this tiered classroom, not long after the start of university, that the class beauty, Zhang Yining, that outwardly pure but inwardly malicious woman, framed him for peeking into the women's restroom, and even meticulously took photos from tricky angles.
At that time, he had just arrived in the big city from his county town, full of curiosity and a hint of timidity about the new environment.
The teaching building had a complex structure, and the restrooms on that floor happened to not have gender signs.
He had only needed to use the restroom urgently and wanted to confirm which was the men's room, so he briefly poked his head in to look at the empty sink area.
Just this unintentional action was recorded by Zhang Yining on her phone and exaggeratedly posted to the campus forum.
The title was sensational: "Shocking! A freshman actually did this in the women's restroom! With pictures and truth!"
Then, things spiraled out of control.
The post was frantically forwarded, quickly spreading outside the campus to Douyin, Weibo... various social media platforms.
The label "College Peeping Man" was branded onto his name like a hot iron.
What followed was an endless nightmare.
His girlfriend broke up with him, citing "inability to bear the strange looks."
His parents, far away in their hometown, were whispered about by relatives and neighbors, who said they had raised a "pervert."
He was isolated and discriminated against in university. Wherever he went, people would whisper and cast scornful or curious glances at him.
Four whole years, like living in hell.
After graduation, no decent company was willing to hire him; his resumes sank like stones in the sea.
He tried to do small businesses to make a living, but there were always "righteous" passersby who recognized him, filmed him, uploaded the videos online, and cursed him as an "unrepentant peeping tom."
Explain? He had explained countless times, but who believed him? In front of videos with "pictures and truth," his Defense seemed so pale and powerless.
Finally, under the torment of endless despair and depression, he chose to end his frustrating life.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan's eyes became cold and sharp.
He slowly turned his gaze, searching the classroom.
Soon, he saw that familiar figure in the front row by the window, with eye-catching pink long hair—it was Zhang Yining!
She wore a white camisole top and a pink and white pleated skirt on the bottom.
As soon as school started, she was voted class beauty, even rivaling the department beauty.
At this moment, she was turned sideways, whispering to the girl next to her, a sweet smile on her face, seemingly sharing some interesting gossip, completely unaware that she had become the number one target on someone else's revenge list.
On the podium, the neatly dressed and capable counselor, Liu Hanyan, was holding a microphone, explaining the follow-up procedures and precautions for freshman registration. Her voice echoed through the entire classroom via the amplifier.
Lu Xuan subtly lowered his head and took out his phone from his pocket.
The screen lit up, and sure enough, among the many APP icons, there was a new one with a simple design, black background, and white text, featuring only a large "black" (black) character.
Is this the Black Material APP?
He took a deep breath, his fingertip moved slightly, and he tapped the APP.
The interface was extremely simple, with only a circular button resembling a camera shutter and a photo album icon.
Using the System for the first time, who should be the "experiment" target?
His gaze lingered between Liu Hanyan on the podium and Zhang Yining in the front row.
Lu Xuan's gaze finally settled on that pink figure.
As the instigator.
Zhang Yining, you personally pushed me into the abyss, so my revenge, naturally, must begin with you!
He adjusted his sitting posture, quietly raised his phone, and seemingly casually slid the camera through the crowd, finally aiming precisely in Zhang Yining's direction.
I must make an example of you first! Let you also taste the feeling of being disgraced!
He lightly tapped the screen with his finger.
A faint virtual shutter sound, "click," rang out (only he could hear it).

Here it comes! Lu Xuan's heart rate slightly accelerated. He was very much looking forward to what kind of grand gift the System would give him.
