Li Wei walked through the school gates, feeling a mix of excitement and confusion. He had the system interface, but he had no idea how to start completing quests. As he entered his classroom, he noticed Yu Xiaoxiao sitting in the front row, effortlessly taking notes. Li Wei felt a pang of admiration for her dedication.
The lecture began, and Li Wei tried to focus, but his mind kept wandering back to the system interface. He wondered how he could start completing quests and improving his stats. After the lecture, Li Wei approached Yu Xiaoxiao, hoping to strike up a conversation.
"Hey, Xiaoxiao, can I ask you something?" Li Wei said, trying to sound casual.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked up from her notes, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "What's up, Li Wei?"
"I was wondering if you've noticed anything... unusual lately," Li Wei said, trying to gauge her reaction.
Yu Xiaoxiao's expression changed, and she leaned in closer. "Unusual? Like what?"
Li Wei hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. "Never mind, it's nothing."
Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled with intrigue. "Tell me, Li Wei. I'm curious."
Li Wei smiled, feeling a sense of relief. "I'll tell you another time. So, what's new with you?"
Yu Xiaoxiao smiled back. "Actually, my father is hosting a party this weekend, and I'd love for you to come."
Li Wei's eyes widened in surprise. "A party? That sounds like fun. I'd love to come."
Yu Xiaoxiao handed him a beautifully designed invitation card. "Great! The party starts at 7 PM on Saturday. Don't be late."
Li Wei took the card, feeling a sense of excitement. He had no idea what the party would entail, but he was eager to find out.
As he walked home from school, Li Wei couldn't shake off the feeling that this party would be more than just a social gathering. He wondered what quests he could complete there and how he could improve his social stats.
When Saturday evening arrived, Li Wei dressed in his finest attire and headed to Yu Xiaoxiao's residence. The party was already in full swing when he arrived, with guests mingling and laughing.
Li Wei was introduced to Yu Xiaoxiao's father, a charismatic figure with a warm smile. "Welcome, Li Wei. I'm glad you could make it."
As the night progressed, Li Wei found himself effortlessly mingling with the guests, thanks to his improving charisma stats. He noticed that Yu Xiaoxiao seemed to be enjoying herself, laughing and chatting with the other guests.
