Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

Just as Li Yan was getting a headache over who to choose, a fairly pretty girl with an average build walked up to the lectern. Although her clothes were rather plain and still had a hint of high school about them, they couldn’t hide her calm and composed demeanor.

"Hello, everyone! I’m Zhao Yuqing, from Jingyang Luo City. I’m very happy to be here with all of you in Management Class 1. For the next four years, and maybe even longer, I hope we can all get along well and help each other out."

Her fluent Mandarin echoed through the classroom. Zhao Yuqing pushed up the black-framed glasses on her nose and continued, "My hobbies are binge-watching dramas, reading novels, and of course, looking at handsome guys!"

Zhao Yuqing’s words made many of the girls in the class laugh. Some of the bolder ones even turned to look at the boys sitting in the back—more specifically, at Wu Yun.

"For all three years of high school, I was the class monitor. So I’d like to take this opportunity to campaign a bit. If we’re electing a class monitor, please give me your vote. I’m confident I can serve everyone well. Thank you!"

The class erupted in thunderous applause. Li Yan hadn’t expected someone to offer a pillow just as she was getting sleepy. She made up her mind: if no one more capable stepped up, she would make Zhao Yuqing the temporary class monitor.

Wu Yun smiled. Zhao Yuqing’s self-introduction was a little different from what he remembered, but on the whole, this was the moment her position as class monitor was locked in. And in the future, she would earn the respect of the entire class.

As Wu Yun reminisced, he listened to the girls in front of him introduce themselves. Sealed-off memories became clear in his mind, and he could now put names to the faces of classmates he had forgotten.

Soon, all thirty girls had finished their introductions. No one emerged to challenge Zhao Yuqing; after all, anyone without that ambition would just see being class monitor as a hassle.

However, one girl in the class named Li Nian, who had a slender figure and a classic oval face, looked exceptionally delicate and pretty. This made all the boys in the class, with the exception of Wu Yun, at least a little excited.

Wu Yun looked at the system’s 87/85/90 rating for Li Nian and shook his head. ’What a bunch of country bumpkins who’ve never seen the world,’ he thought. ’Besides being all-natural, her looks and figure are just decent. I’ll leave this opportunity to you, comrades!’

It was the boys’ turn for self-introductions. Since Wu Yun and his roommates had been the first guys to arrive, they were in the front row of the male students.

He glanced at their seating order and saw that Pang Guang was first.

After a moment of hesitation, Pang Guang stood up and walked to the lectern. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Seeing all eyes in the classroom fixed on him, Pang Guang swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing. "H-Hello, everyone! My name is Pang Guang!"

The class instantly erupted in laughter, which only made Pang Guang more nervous.

"I’m from Mianzhou, I’m eighteen years old, thank you." Pang Guang walked off the lectern, his face beet red.

Next up was Li Shiming and, as expected, another round of laughter erupted. His effeminate voice, combined with a name that sounded just like Emperor Tang Taizong’s, made him memorable to quite a few of his classmates.

Then it was Liu Yongheng’s turn. He wasn’t nervous at all and gave a very brief introduction, which made the eyes of quite a few girls in the class light up.

That left Wu Yun as the grand finale for dorm room 404.

Wu Yun walked calmly to the lectern. Between his experience as a teacher in his past life and a boss in this one, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of nervousness.

Wu Yun’s good looks caused many of the girls in the class to whisper to each other, creating a small stir.

Wu Yun subconsciously leaned on the lectern with both hands. "Hello, everyone! I’m Wu Yun. The ’Wu’ and ’Yun’ from the phrase ’Wushan Cloud Rain.’ I’m from Jingyang, and my hobbies are pretty broad—working out, combat sports, singing, you name it. If anyone’s interested, we can exchange notes sometime."

"I’m happy to be classmates with all of you. If anyone runs into any difficulties in the future, please let me know, and I’ll do my best to help. Of course, like our classmate Wang Ling said earlier, her greatest wish is to find a boyfriend... that’s one problem I can’t solve for you!"

Wu Yun’s comment made the whole class roar with laughter.

"However, I can make an introduction for you. Take my roommate, Pang Guang, for example. Don’t be fooled by how quiet he is. When it comes to academics, I guarantee he’ll be in the top three of our class. He’s a high-quality growth stock, ladies, don’t miss out!"

It’s unclear who started it, but someone in the class shouted, "Get together!" throwing the whole room into a boisterous uproar.

Li Yan watched Wu Yun’s ability to work the crowd and couldn’t help but nod in approval.

Seeing the commotion, Wu Yun held up his hands to quiet everyone down. "Okay, all jokes aside," he continued. "If anyone needs help in the future, I’ll do my best. We’re all in the same class, which makes us brothers and sisters, and we should help each other out. One other thing—I’m not running for class monitor! That’s too much work. Let’s leave that tough job to Zhao Yuqing!"

With that, Wu Yun nodded to the class and walked off the lectern.

The remaining six boys quickly finished their introductions, and only half an hour had gone by in total.

Li Yan walked up to the lectern, smiling. "It looks like our class is full of very humorous and talented people. However, the election for class officers won’t happen until after military training. As a side note, being a class officer does get you extra credit. For today, I’ll just appoint one student as the temporary class monitor. They’ll be responsible for helping me manage the class and assisting their classmates during the training."

"I’d like to pick Zhao Yuqing. I trust no one has any objections?"

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, she heard Wu Yun shout from the back, "No objections!" The rest of the boys behind him immediately started to cheer and whoop.

"Alright! When we’re done here, Class Monitor, I need you to take the male students in the class to Logistics to pick up the military training uniforms!"

Zhao Yuqing nodded in acknowledgment.

Li Yan continued, "Tomorrow at eight in the morning, gather here again, dressed in your training uniforms. You’ll be assigned an instructor, and then you will all be led to the training grounds together."

After speaking, Li Yan gave Zhao Yuqing a nod, then walked out of the classroom and headed to the one next door.

Zhao Yuqing first took out a pen and paper and went around collecting everyone’s height and weight. Once she was done, she called out to the back of the room, "All the guys, let’s go! Follow me to get the uniforms!"

With that, Zhao Yuqing walked out of the classroom, a vast procession of boys trailing behind her.

Once the boys were long gone, the classroom finally erupted with chatter.

One girl said loudly, "That Wu Yun is seriously handsome, and so funny. He’s totally my type!"

But a girl who frequented the school forums retorted, "Someone like you? You’re worlds apart from his girlfriend. I’ll bet no one in this room can hold a candle to Wu Yun’s girlfriend."

"Oh? And how would you know he has a girlfriend?" someone shot back.

"Go look at the forums yourself! The stickied post is all about him," the forum-goer replied. "He’s tall, rich, and handsome—the whole package. All of you should just stop dreaming!"

The classroom fell silent for a moment before someone cried out, "Whoa! A Lamborghini! He really is the whole package!"

"And his girlfriend is the belle of the junior-year dance department!"

The girls who had been secretly hoping to get Wu Yun’s contact information promptly gave up on the idea.
