What's wrong with Chapter 2?
A feeling of exceptional comfort washed over An Yi for a moment, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it. Instead, he stared intently at the semi-transparent light screen in front of him, whose content was still changing and remained fixed in the center of his vision no matter how he moved his perspective.

【Friendly Reminder: To avoid any unnecessary negative impact during gameplay, the target will be visible only to you by default, and other individuals will subconsciously avoid the target.】
Meanwhile, to ensure a smooth gaming experience, this game will provide a certain degree of privacy protection for your gameplay interactions, presenting you with a reasonable public image that conforms to social norms and abides by public order and good morals.
Have fun playing the game!
An Yi stared blankly at the girl in front of him. Although he already knew her identity through the information displayed on the screen, how could he possibly understand and accept such a thing in an instant? His mind was completely blank.
When he came to his senses, he had already subconsciously sat down. Seeing that there was no food in front of the girl, he subconsciously pushed the plate forward. "Um...would you like something?"
After asking the question, he wanted to slap himself. What kind of question was that? Could anyone eat that?!
Before he could even come up with a reason to retract his words, the girl scoffed and unceremoniously reached out and grabbed a meat bun from his plate.
She took a small bite while muttering, "Don't think I'll forgive you so easily."
For the first time, An Yi realized that beauty is truly an irrational attribute. Even when angry, one can still look so beautiful.
Then, he finally realized—she had actually eaten!
"So my 'Advanced Mathematics' really turned into a person, and a super beautiful girl at that?" An Yi thought to himself.
This was clearly not a dream, but reality. Because the moment he saw the light screen, he had already pinched his thigh hard enough that it still ached slightly…
As a hardcore novel enthusiast, An Yi certainly knew what this meant. The golden finger he had been eagerly anticipating had finally arrived in his account!
In this way, all the clues that seemed a bit off before, which he had just temporarily overlooked, now had a reasonable explanation.
No wonder he was able to successfully bind his account to the "Gal Genius" game without verifying his fingerprint or facial information; no wonder the game disappeared from his phone after he selected a romance target; no wonder there was an empty circle around the girl in the crowded cafeteria, and no one was even looking in his direction...
"As for ensuring a better gaming experience and protecting the privacy of interactions during gameplay, does it mean that my conversations with her will appear perfectly normal to others?"
An Yi felt a slight sense of relief as she thought about it.
"Great feature! Without it, if I talked to her, wouldn't it just look like I was talking to thin air to other people? They'd probably think I'm crazy, right?"
After sorting through all this information, An Yi understood what she needed to do next.
Nothing much to say, here's the walkthrough, let's get started!
Although he hadn't played many visual novels, An Yi had some understanding of them.
The "strategy" means increasing the girl's affection level by taking various correct actions. Right now, the girl in front of him has a 20/100 affection level with him from [Mathematics - Advanced Mathematics], meaning he needs to raise it to 100 to complete the strategy.
"Then... what will it take for you to forgive me?"
After hesitating for a while, An Yi picked up a meat bun and stuffed it into her mouth, choosing to ask directly.
This was the best question he could think of in a short time. What experience did he, a single man for eighteen years, have with dating advice? If he were good at conversation, he wouldn't have been single for so long.
Fortunately, the girl clearly didn't intend to make things difficult for An Yi in this matter. She seemed to think about it very seriously for a moment, and then solemnly said, "You must first reflect on the mistakes you made!"
"Where...did I go wrong?"
An Yi cautiously probed, "Shouldn't I have left you here alone?"
"It's a small matter."
The girl pouted. "The point is, you actually think I'm hard to get along with!"
"That's not true, is it?"
An Yi was taken aback for a moment, and genuinely thought the girl was really cute. Of course, this could also be due to the girl's "perfect" looks...
Okay, he admits he's a sucker for good looks.
"Oh."
The girl sneered, "Anyone can talk the talk, but what's the walk? How many times have you contacted me in the past few weeks? And on those few occasions, the vast majority of the time you were either on your phone, daydreaming, or even sleeping!"
An Yi's eyes widened, and he was about to blurt out, "This is pure slander," but he swallowed the words back down his throat.
He suddenly seemed a little guilty, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and belatedly realized, "Well... it seems like that's true?"
An Yi finally realized what was happening and completely understood the situation.
The girl in front of him was indeed so real that she was a real person, a beautiful girl that only he could see, his "Sakurajima Mai", but at the same time, she was also the embodiment of "Advanced Mathematics"!
If we're talking about the book "Advanced Mathematics," then An Yi really did everything the girl said.
"So that's really what you think?"
The girl held the half-eaten meat bun and stared at him without moving.
"Absolutely not! I just... I just..."
An Yi suddenly felt immense pressure, and with his survival instinct kicking in, he had a brilliant idea.
"I just believe that beautiful things should be saved for last and appreciated in detail!"
The girl stared at him silently for two seconds, then finally took another bite of her bun: "...Hmph."

A semi-transparent light screen popped up beside her, allowing An Yi to breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed... she was satisfied with this explanation?
"Don't think I'm that easy to fool."
As if knowing what An Yi was thinking, the girl raised the half-eaten meat bun in her hand, as if she had finally caught him red-handed, and grinned triumphantly, revealing two snow-white and sharp little tiger teeth.
"Beautiful things, right? If that's what you really think, then you should cherish them from beginning to end... But it's okay, I've remembered what you said. I can let bygones be bygones, but I'll see your true attitude later."
If you say you'll do something but can't do it, don't blame me. I hate people who don't keep their word!
An Yi choked on the half-eaten bun she was about to swallow.
Wait a minute...
It's advanced mathematics!
