Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?

Wen Nan stumbled.

...Who is this person?!

He distinctly remembered that when he fell into the new instance, he was holding a big white rabbit in his arms. How did it suddenly turn into a woman, and moreover, a completely unfamiliar woman?

Where did Guan Ailin go?

And... what is this place exactly?

This definitely isn't the respawn point...

In the respawn point, there might be twenty or so players, there could even be half male-to-female players, but it's definitely impossible for a stranger to crawl under the table, appear between his legs, and have a smile like that on her face...

But if this isn't the respawn point, why was he teleported here?

Just as a series of questions popped up in Wen Nan's mind, the woman under the table stuck out her tongue, licking her lips, and then reached out, attempting to touch Wen Nan.

"Hey!"

Wen Nan raised his hand, forcefully grabbing the woman's wrist, stopping her movement.

At the moment of skin contact, a system notification appeared in Wen Nan's mind—

9527: [Successful contact with target, unlocking target information for you—]

[Name: Zhao Wanting (Wanwan)]

[Identity: Fair-skinned, long-legged art freshman from the neighboring school]

[Background: Zhao Wanting is a first-year student from the neighboring art college. As a top junior of T University, you were invited to a joint event between the art college and T University, where you and Wanwan first met.

Wanwan is an enthusiastic and proactive girl. After exchanging contact information, she often invited you out. Initially, it was just meals and shopping, but later, the meetings shifted to karaoke bars, one time more intense than the last, and eventually, when she suggested spending a night together at a couple's hotel, you declined her request, explaining that you two were not suitable for each other and probably could not develop further. You subtly expressed a desire to end this ambiguous relationship.

Originally, you thought this would end on a sour note, but surprisingly, Wanwan agreed to your suggestion graciously and expressed her wish to revert to being just friends, which you gladly accepted.

Since then, Wanwan hadn't contacted you for a long time until this morning, when you ran into her blocking your path at the entrance of the lecture hall on your way to an early class.

Wanwan claimed she missed you after such a long time and expressed a wish to sit in on one of your classes at T University.

As class time was near and people kept pausing to watch, you reluctantly agreed to her request and brought her to your "Biochemistry" class, choosing a spot in the back corner to avoid drawing attention.

Because you were up all night rushing an "Immunology" assignment, you were incredibly tired and fell asleep deeply during class.

When you woke up, the scene before you unfolded...]

[Faction: Pending Unlock]

It seems this is the instance character introduction.

And now the girl under the table is that ambiguous art school junior from the neighboring school.

But... what instance is this? Where is the respawn point? Where is the built-in settlement system in the respawn point? The welcome message for entering the instance? The instance and mission briefing?

There's nothing; it just starts with the character introduction?

And what is with this faction? Why is it pending unlock?

Thinking of this, a system prompt transitioned in his mind—

9527: [In this instance, all characters and players are set with seven pending unlock factions—[Queen], [Princess], [Young Master], [Servant], [Loyalist], [Traitor], [Assassin].

Among them, [Queen], [Princess], [Young Master], [Servant] are exclusive factions for instance strategy characters, [Loyalist], [Traitor], [Assassin] are exclusive factions for instance players...]

Halfway through the system's announcement, a voice came from the podium: "Ye Jiu! What are you dawdling for? Get up and complete the diagram!"

The young and pretty female teacher, seeing Wen Nan halfway out of his seat and suddenly frozen like he'd been struck by lightning, urged him impatiently.

Wen Nan quickly regained his senses, pulling his gaze away from the hovering system prompt in front of him and back to the female teacher.

"Ahem," Wen Nan cleared his throat, shamelessly telling a lie, "Uh, teacher, my zipper got stuck, so it's inconvenient to go up to the podium right now."

His words prompted an uproar of laughter in the classroom.

The boys were pounding the tables while the girls covered their mouths. The female teacher blushed, losing much of her earlier aura, and waved Wen Nan down, "Take a seat for now. After class, head to Professor Wang's lab."

That said, amidst the laughter in the classroom, the female teacher tried to regain order and returned to teaching the class.

Wen Nan heaved a sigh of relief, relaxing his body, with no time to ponder who Professor Wang was, he shot a warning glance at the girl under the table not to act rashly.

Zhao Wanting didn't press further, fearing she'd gone too far, irritating the person opposite, obediently withdrawing her hand.

In Wen Nan's mind, the system prompt hovered over the faction explanation text.

Those factions like "Princess" and "Young Master", the names just sound improper, could this instance be about setting up for some staged drama in the end?

As he was pondering, the system prompt continued scrolling—

9527: [Members of different factions have different stances and need to meet different conditions to pass smoothly—

1. [Servant] is a neutral strategy character, with no stance, no faction, no key information, serving only the plot of the instance;
