The white-haired school beauty sighs every day, yet he keeps getting stronger.

Upon hearing this notification, Huangfu Yue's brows furrowed, and her expression turned serious.

Is it finally about to begin?

Can you win by yourself?

The thought had barely crossed her mind when Huangfu Yue dismissed it.

Being cowardly before the battle is a major taboo.

She did everything she could to the best of her ability.

The so-called do your best to obey fate.

I have done my best, now I must face my fate.

Huangfu Yue took a deep breath, pulled out a chair and sat down, leaning her back against the chair back, quickly composing herself and waiting for the result.

[Let's begin the first comparison]

[Information gathering in progress...gathering complete]

[Calculating the difference, please wait]

The system finished speaking.

All that remained in Huangfu Yue's mind was the long, drawn-out beeping sound of the phone.

This kind of waiting is undoubtedly agonizing.

Winning will earn you a generous reward.

If she loses, she has to wear a maid outfit and undergo that utterly humiliating and torturous punishment.

Just imagining that scene makes Huangfu Yue want to dig out a set of meditation mantras with her toes on the floor.

The system is still calculating.

The white-haired girl clenched her hands tightly, her palms sweating, feeling as if each second was an eternity.

Her suppressed emotions suddenly surged up again, making her feel somewhat irritated.

Huangfu Yue simply got up and went to the washroom to wash up, rather than sitting there waiting idly.

A few minutes later, Huangfu Yue walked out of the washroom barefoot, her long eyelashes glistening with dew.

The calculations have just finished.

[Calculation complete, results to be announced now]

Huangfu Yue sat down at the bedside, her mood finally calming down.

Come on!

[Winner: Zhang Ziyang]

The system's emotionless voice echoed in the girl's mind.

Like a bolt from the blue, it left her completely stunned.

I actually... lost?

No, why should I?!

Instinctively, Huangfu Yue felt somewhat unconvinced.

She is the destined woman prophesied to avert great calamity.

The Soul Card he possesses, Frost Moon Nether Dragon, is of top-tier gold quality, wielding the dual powers of frost and darkness.

Even her master, a top expert of the time, accepted her as his last disciple to pass on his mantle.

Their future achievements are limitless!

If Zhang Ziyang is more talented than me, then why didn't my master accept him as a disciple, but instead chose me?

Their lineage is neither the Ancient Tomb Sect nor the Emei Sect.

There is no rule that only accepts female disciples and not male disciples.

Huangfu Yue took a deep breath and asked:

"System, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

This system's sole function is calculation; the error rate is 0%.

Please do not doubt the system's professionalism.

Huangfu Yue was not fooled by the system's few words; she had not yet admitted defeat.

"This reason doesn't convince me."

You say his Soul Card quality is better than mine, so where exactly is he better?

Since it's a comparison, there has to be a benchmark, right?

As long as the system can provide real and detailed data to prove this result.

Then I will willingly accept your assessment!

Huangfu Yue is not someone who can't afford to lose.

But they lost in a muddle, without even knowing why they were inferior to their opponents...

She simply cannot accept it.

Since the system claims to be professional, then it should provide proof that will convince her!

[Host's request received, deemed a reasonable request, and approved.]

This comparison focuses on the quality of Soul Cards.

The evaluation criterion is: the maximum potential of the Soul Card.

[Does the host agree with this?]

Huangfu Yue nodded, offering no objection.

The reason why Soul Cards are divided into high and low quality is precisely because their potential limits are different.

Unless a card master has an extraordinary stroke of luck, their maximum strength is basically tied to the quality of their soul cards.

Even if you spend your entire life trying to reach the third rank of a black or white grade soul card, that would be considered extremely diligent.

Purple and yellow grade soul cards are relatively easy to pass the third tier threshold, but most people will get stuck at the sixth tier and never make any further progress in their lives.

Only red-gold grade soul cards are qualified to climb to the top and compete on the world stage to shine.

But both she and Zhang Ziyang have gold-quality soul cards!

We can't just declare her the loser simply because that partner has more Soul Cards, can we?

This is like two students going into the exam room together.

Their grades are usually quite similar.

However, the teacher judged that one student must have scored higher than the other simply because one student brought more stationery.

This assessment can be summed up in two words—absurd!

Huangfu Yue could not accept this crude inference without any factual basis.

Seemingly sensing her thoughts, the system voice continued.

Now, let's list all the factors that can affect this assessment standard and compare them numerically one by one.

After the system finished speaking, a light screen that only she could see immediately appeared in front of Huangfu Yue.

(Note: All stats of a normal gold-tier soul card are 100)

A huge amount of data was listed above.

[Crystal nucleus conversion efficiency: Zhang Ziyang 210; Huangfuyue 189]

[Speed ​​of clearing levels: Zhang Ziyang 203; Huangfu Yue 162]

[Applicable to the following battle scenarios: Zhang Ziyang 523; Huangfu Yue 235]

……

Based on all the data, a final evaluation of the potential ceiling of both sides is conducted.

[Huangfu Yue: Poised to Reach the Pinnacle of This Realm]

Zhang Ziyang: Future Achievements Are Unpredictable

After reviewing all the data listed by the system, Huangfu Yue fell silent.

It felt like being doused with a bucket of ice water; my heart was ice-cold.

Even among gold-tier soul cards, there are differences in quality!

Her soul card is already exceptionally good; she is truly a prodigy.

But compared to the prodigy Zhang Ziyang, he still pales in comparison.

If this guy were in a game, he'd be a numerical monster that would break the balance.

A flurry of punches killed the master!

What mechanisms, techniques...

All of them were crushed headfirst!

There are no actions involved, it's all just numbers!

Thinking of this, the porcelain doll girl's face fell, and she opened her cherry lips to give a two-word evaluation.

"unbelievable!"

Without even a moment's mourning for Huangfu Yue's defeat, what rushed to the battlefield was—the punishment for failure!

[The host has been detected as completely convinced.]

[Please begin fulfilling the original punishment: Wear a maid outfit for three consecutive days and provide the winner with services such as moaning and putting them to sleep.]

[If the host fails to complete the task, they will receive the maximum penalty—the quality of their Soul Card will be reduced to the lowest possible level.]

[Punishment item—cat-eared maid outfit—has been sent to your system inventory. Please check your inventory.]

Friendly reminder: A service satisfaction assessment will be conducted after the punishment is completed.

At that time, please ask the winner about the service quality and rate it from 1 to 10.

If the score is acceptable, a consolation prize will be awarded.

If the score is too low, the penalty time will be extended, and the penalty will be more severe in the next comparison!

Therefore, please take this seriously and do not be perfunctory!

After the system sent a series of messages, it fell completely silent.

Only Huangfu Yue remained standing in the room, motionless like a puppet.

She only snapped out of her reverie when she heard the chirping of birds outside the window.

Huangfu Yue's brows were furrowed, and her expression was rather unpleasant.

She never expected that she would actually lose, and lose so badly!

But since things have come to this point, we can only carry out the punishment.

She'd rather be embarrassed wearing a maid outfit than have her Soul Card's quality drop to the lowest black grade.

Huangfu Yue could tell which of the two was more important.

"Hey!"

The white-haired school beauty sighed, then took out the punishment item from her system inventory.

A fluffy white cat ear headband;

A black and white maid outfit whose skirt only covers half of the thighs;

It also comes with a pair of white suspender stockings and black square-toe loafers in the right size.

Everything was arranged perfectly from head to toe!

Huangfu Yue picked up the maid outfit with a heart-shaped cutout in the chest, her fair face slightly flushed.

Should I really wear this overly daring and provocative outfit to wake Zhang Ziyang up?

Just thinking about that scene made her cheeks burn like fire.

This is just...so embarrassing!!
