Rebirth: A big star falls in love with me

Her wavy chestnut hair was loosely draped over her shoulders, with a few strands framing her snow-white neck and her proud, magnificent chest.

Her face was adorned with exquisite and alluring makeup, with elongated and upturned eyeliner and deep purple-black eyeshadow embellished with tiny glitter, making her captivating eyes seem like an abyss, bewitching and mesmerizing.

Her red lips were full and luscious, their color like poisoned wine, exuding a deadly allure.

"Junior brother~" Her voice was lazy and husky, magnetic, as she leaned close to Zhang Yu, almost touching his nose. Her large, soft breasts were almost pressing against his chest, the rich fragrance and her hot body creating a powerful alluring field. "How does it feel? Isn't this world getting more and more wonderful?" She stretched out her slender fingers, painted with dark purple nail polish, with a wisp of visible energy like purple smoke swirling around her fingertips, and gently brushed across Zhang Yu's Adam's apple, bringing a tingling sensation and a slight feeling of suffocation.

Zhang Yu could sense that Huang Ying's energy field was more solid, aggressive, and corrosive than before, like a datura flower in full bloom, beautiful yet exuding a deadly poison.

She seemed to be able to easily mobilize the surrounding "source matter," especially those energies that leaned towards darkness and allure.

"Thanks to my senior, I'm still adjusting." Zhang Yu forced himself to calm down and took a half step back. He knew that Huang Ying's beauty was a poison disguised as honey.

"Adapt?" Huang Ying chuckled, pressing closer step by step, closing the distance once more. She tilted her head back, her breath sweet and warm, brushing against Zhang Yu's chin. "Adapting alone isn't enough, little junior. You need to know how to...enjoy it."

Her fingers slid down, drawing circles on his firm chest muscles in an extremely suggestive manner. The wisp of purple energy, like a living tentacle, tried to burrow into his skin. "The 'Source Crystal Cluster' in the air-raid shelter last night really benefited me... a lot."

Her eyes were hazy, with a hint of satisfied enjoyment. "Would you like to... also experience the thrill of rapidly increasing power?"

Her red lips almost touched his ear, her voice full of seduction, "Sister has... something even better here..."

Just then, a clear, warning-like, icy throb suddenly emanated from the silver bell earring on Zhang Yu's chest, jolting him out of Huang Ying's alluring field. He abruptly pushed her away, his eyes regaining their clarity: "No need for you to worry, senior, I know what to do."

Huang Ying, though pushed away, wasn't angry. She merely licked her red lips, revealing a dangerous and playful smile: "You're getting less and less adorable. But... I like your stubbornness." She reached into her seemingly bottomless cleavage and retrieved a small, crystal-like fragment shimmering with an ominous purplish-black light, waving it in front of Zhang Yu. "Do you recognize this? A 'Phantom Core' fragment... It's a great item that can greatly enhance one's mental charm. Want it?"

She brought the shard to her red lips, licked it seductively with the tip of her tongue, then turned and swayed away, her breathtakingly curvaceous hips and buttocks swaying in the dappled sunlight, her black-stockinged legs creating an eerily sexy silhouette. "When you change your mind... you can come find me anytime, and I'll exchange your 'sincerity' for it..." Her laughter echoed through the forest like a night owl's song.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yu went to the library to look up books about energy fields and ancient mysticism, trying to find more clues about "source matter" and his own changes. At the library entrance, he met Zhang Ning.

She was still wearing that navy blue school uniform, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the fabric seemed crisper than before, even faintly shimmering with a metallic sheen. Beneath her short skirt, her slender legs, encased in black over-the-knee stockings, stood together in perfect posture, but Zhang Yu noticed that the curve of her knees was as precise as a mechanical joint.

Her short, ear-length hair remained perfectly styled, but the strands seemed overly smooth, their sheen giving it a cold, hard feel.

Behind her black-rimmed glasses, her eyes were no longer purely clear and sharp, but held a cold, focused intensity, like a high-speed computer processing unit. When she looked at Zhang Yu, he could almost hear a faint hum, like a processor running.

“Zhang Yu.” Her voice remained steady, but her pace seemed optimized, with each word spaced perfectly even. “Your application for the rubbings of ‘Introduction to Energy Fields’ and ‘Mystical Symbolism’ requires professor-level access. This is the access upgrade application form. Please fill it out as required and have Professor An sign it.” She handed over a form, her fingers steady without a tremor, her nails rounded. But Zhang Yu seemed to see that beneath her nails, the pale silver, intricately patterned lines had become clearly visible, shimmering slightly with a blue light.

"Thank you, Committee Member Zhang." Zhang Yu took the form and noticed that Zhang Ning's gaze lingered on him for a few seconds. Her eyes didn't seem to be looking at a person, but rather scanning a complex, multivariate system.

"Your life field strength has increased by 48.7% in the past 72 hours, and your energy spectrum shows multi-band fusion characteristics. It has 17.3% similarity and 32.1% complementarity with Chen Chen's energy field."

Zhang Ning suddenly rattled off a string of precise data, her tone completely flat, as if she were reading an instrument report: "This symbiotic evolution pattern has a matching rate of less than 0.01% in the existing database. We recommend establishing a long-term monitoring model to collect data."

Zhang Yu was horrified. Zhang Ning's "mutation" seemed to be developing in the direction of absolute rationality and datafication. She was incorporating herself and everything around her into a cold, quantifiable system.

"Committee Member Zhang, are you... alright?" Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask again.

Zhang Ning adjusted her glasses, and a stream of data seemed to flash across the lenses: "System operating efficiency improved by 12.4%, and logic processing capability improved by 28.9%. The emotion simulation module is under high load and is being optimized. I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Her answer was still rigid, but the phrase "emotion simulation module" sent a chill down Zhang Yu's spine. Was she still Zhang Ning? Or rather, what was she becoming?

Just then, Zhang Ning's body stiffened almost imperceptibly, and the data stream in her eyes momentarily became disordered. She raised her hand to press her temple, and a very faint "noise" appeared in her voice: "Warning... Core database is being interfered with by unknown energy... Request... recalibration..." But quickly, she returned to normal, her eyes becoming cold and focused again, "Access request form, please process it as soon as possible."

After saying that, she walked away with steps as precise as if measured by a ruler, her straight back resembling a perfect mechanical creation gradually being completed.

In the evening, Zhang Yu wanted to go to Mirror Lake to check on the situation, but he encountered Lanshan, who was "sampling" at the lake.

She was wearing a white lab coat, but over it was a silver trench coat that appeared to be specially made and shimmered with a faint energy barrier.

The eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were colder than ever, as if they contained the wind and snow of the Arctic.

She was holding a complex, ticking instrument, measuring the energy readings of the lake water.

The shadows in the middle of the lake remained, but the color seemed to have turned into a deeper, darker blue, as if even light could be frozen.

Upon seeing Zhang Yu, Lan Shan stopped what he was doing and stared at him with eyes like two cold laser beams.

“Zhang Yu, your energy radiation level still exceeds the safety threshold.” Her voice was devoid of warmth, as if mechanically synthesized. “According to Article 7, Paragraph 3 of the draft ‘Regulations on the Management of Abnormal Individuals,’ I have the right to request your cooperation in further physical examinations and energy suppression.”

Zhang Yu could sense that Lan Shan was radiating a powerful energy field with an aura of absolute order and coldness. The surrounding air seemed to have cooled down because of her presence, and the water vapor from the lake condensed into tiny ice crystals around her.

Her power seems to lean towards control and "freezing," both physically and energetically.

“Teacher Lan, I don’t think I need to…” Zhang Yu tried to refuse.

Lan Shan raised her hand; her fingers were long and slender, but at this moment, a wisp of icy blue energy, visible to the naked eye and radiating a chilling aura, swirled around her fingertips.

"This is not a request, it is a notification." Her tone left no room for argument. "Or, do you want me to take 'coercive measures'?" The icy blue energy at her fingertips flickered slightly, and Zhang Yu felt the surrounding air instantly become viscous, his movements were invisibly restricted, and the flow of power within his body became somewhat sluggish.

Just then, Chen Chen happened to be taking a walk by the lake. Seeing this scene, she exclaimed, "Zhang Yu!" She instinctively ran over and stood in front of Zhang Yu. Although she was trembling slightly with fear, the azure energy halo lit up on its own, trying to dispel the cold force field of Blue Mountain.

Lan Shan's gaze swept over Chen Chen, a complex, calculating glint flashing in his cold eyes: "Chen Chen, your energy field is unstable. I suggest you return to your dormitory immediately to avoid being disturbed."

She looked at Zhang Yu again. "It seems you've made your choice. I hope you won't regret it today." She put away the equipment, turned and left, the hem of her silver trench coat drawing a cold arc, instantly covering the grass beneath her feet with a layer of frost. She was like an ice queen surveying her territory, ruthless and powerful.

After comforting the frightened Chen Chen and escorting her back to her dormitory, Zhang Yu walked alone to the edge of the back mountain, wanting to test his newly acquired power.

Just as they found an open space, a figure that looked like it was burning with flames descended from the sky with a wild laugh—it really did descend from the sky!

Zhu Mei leaped from the top of a large tree, landing steadily and kicking up a cloud of dust.

She was practically naked today, only wearing a red leather tube top and hot pants to cover her vital parts. Large swathes of her healthy, wheat-colored skin were exposed to the evening air, her muscles flowing and full of explosive power, as if every inch contained the power of a volcano.

Her figure was even hotter and more exaggerated than before. Her full, high breasts were about to burst out from under the strapless top, and her deep cleavage was like a burning canyon. Her flat and firm abs were deeply defined, and her plump and round buttocks stretched her hot pants tightly, full of wild desire.

His long, straight legs were muscular and exuded the explosive power of a cheetah.
