Chapter 77 Plot: Main Characters, Key Supporting Characters

Upon learning that she had almost been "opened" (a euphemism for being hacked), Shi Yao was still a little scared. Fortunately, she had always been very vigilant and protected her personal information well. In addition, with the protection of the system, otherwise, in this era where the internet is flooded with information about young people and "opening" is costless, she really couldn't say that she could have avoided being "opened" 100%.

Still shaken, Shi Yao checked her accounts on various platforms again.

Fortunately, all the key accounts used were purchased accounts, and the real-name information was naturally linked to other people; otherwise, it would have been easy to open an account on a platform like Weibo.

Although there is a certain risk of losing the account or having it locked if the real name information is linked to someone else, it is still better than having her real information exposed.

At that time, she will be trending on social media again! Shocking! A female celebrity retired from the entertainment industry to become a fan site manager for male trainees.

In particular, the time she started her fan site almost completely overlapped with the time she announced her retirement from the entertainment industry. When she is exposed, her reputation will also be affected.

Shi Yao browsed the system's store and found an information protection product. After inquiring with the system, she received a definite answer that it was indeed a function used to protect user information security and could guarantee 100% that her personal information would not be leaked.

Although her current insurance coverage is already comprehensive enough, she still bought another one for double protection and greater peace of mind.

Aside from meticulously calculating the points and attribute points earned when completing the first task, Shi Yao hadn't calculated her favorability attribute value for a long time after completing tasks and receiving rewards one after another.

When she opened the backend, she was surprised to find that her favorability rating had reached an astronomical number, and her attribute values ​​were also unexpectedly high, enough for her to increase all her attributes repeatedly.

Seeing her silence, the system understandingly explained:

"That's right. The favorability rating not only comes from the values ​​of the characters you've already romanced, but also a lot of favorability ratings from their fans."

"Host, you have solved their problems, changed their difficult situation, and significantly boosted their careers. The fans will be grateful to this kind person from the bottom of their hearts. Although they don't know who it is, the numbers will all be calculated on you."

Shi Yao remembered this. Ever since she first helped Fang Xuran resolve the trending topic controversy, she had gradually received goodwill from Fang Xuran's fans. Although the conversion ratio was very low, the base number was large, and the total number was still quite good.

Later, Yingxu became a sensation, and she became the most famous fan site manager in Yingxu's fan circle. She not only gained favor from Yingxu's fans, but also from Yingxu herself and the fans of the fan site manager account "A Ray of Light".

Yes, Yilu Tianguang, as the most representative number one fan site admin in Yingxu's circle, has already gained a group of fans who trust her a lot. Although they all followed her because they like Yingxu, they were also moved by her long-term companionship, support and selfless dedication.

Not to mention that Yingxu's rise to fame, her expansion into new circles, and her consolidation of popularity all owe a debt to this fan site manager.

A ray of light has always been very mysterious. It doesn't sell photobooks or merchandise, but just quietly supports the cause. It's also very generous and doesn't get involved in the arguments and fights between fan site admins.

One of Yingxu's fans said that whenever there are internal conflicts or external clashes within the fandom, seeing Tianguang Jie still quietly posting pictures of Yingxu going to and from get off work makes them feel at ease.

As she reached the end, a ray of light was not only accompanying Yingxu, but also accompanying all the fans who love Yingxu. She can truly be called the pillar of strength in Yingxu's fandom.

The favorability gained from being a fan of the "A Ray of Light" fan site account will be calculated at a higher rate than the favorability gained from being a fan of the person in question.

Shi Yao roughly calculated on her fingers and found that the attribute points and favorability points she had obtained were enough to max out all her attributes and still have some left over.

The system previously stated that as long as her health reaches its maximum, she can escape the life countdown risk and no longer need to work hard to complete tasks to earn favor with various main and supporting characters.

However, looking at her remaining favorability rating, she had already reached that level some time ago. Logically, she should have been able to max out all attributes, including health, long ago, but the system did not remind her that the task was completed and that she no longer needed to complete the task.

"System, my attributes are already at their maximum, why do I still need to complete the task?" Shi Yao asked.

Could it be that they saw how efficiently she completed the task and were unwilling to let her, this hardworking ox or horse, go?

"Host, you only achieved the maximum attribute value, but you did not achieve the other objective of the overall task, so it cannot be determined that you have completed the overall task." Shi Yao could hear a hint of guilt in the system's voice, which was rare for her.

"Another objective? What objective?" Shi Yao asked, puzzled.

"You are in an entertainment industry novel called 'Shining Star,' where your health is critically low. To change your fate, you need to complete tasks to earn points and upgrade your attributes, win over the main characters to gain their favor, and once you reach the maximum favorability, the mission will be completed, and you will gain freedom and reach the pinnacle of life."

The system suddenly broadcast a series of messages in a emotionless, mechanical voice, and Shi Yao didn't miss any of the key points.

"The main characters?" Shi Yao's expression was strange. "You mean Cheng Muzhi and Qiao Xi?"

The male and female protagonists of this book are Cheng Muzhi and Qiao Xi, and they are also the main characters of the plot. She had received a system prompt when she encountered them before, but she did not intend to have much contact with them. She only wanted to focus on her own career, so she did not make any progress, let alone try to win them over.

But now the system is clearly implying that while gaining the favor of a bunch of key supporting characters is useful, it's not enough. To gain a free life, she must win over the main characters of the story, namely Cheng Muzhi and Qiao Xi.

"Yes, host, this is part of the plot. You must gain the approval and affection of the main character and achieve maximum favorability before the ultimate mission can be completed." The system's voice carried a hint of regret.

Sometimes she paused, sometimes she fell silent.

Goodness, she didn't expect the system to be so meticulous, insisting on focusing on the four words "protagonist of the plot."

She worked diligently for so long, only to be blocked by a title.

To be honest, she really didn't want to have any contact with those two. Let alone winning them over and getting full favorability, she felt uncomfortable even spending a little time with them.

That damn system, it didn't even remind her sooner.

"Host, I've been reminding you all along..." the system said quietly. Every time a task was completed, it would bold and highlight the words "key supporting role," which was clearly a reminder that the host's role was incorrect.

"System, tell me the truth, is there really no other way?" She waited expectantly for the system's reply, thinking that sending Shi Yao to seduce those two would be worse than killing her.

Unfortunately, the system weakly said, "Without a host, you must win over the main character of the story and gain full favor. This is written into the underlying logic and cannot be changed."

Shi Yao fell silent again, and after a few minutes she suddenly said, "What if I don't try to win them over?"

"Then you'll never be able to complete the ultimate mission, and your favorability and attribute values ​​will continue to decline over time. Ultimately, if you still don't try to win them over, you'll only be able to..."

They were wiped out.

Shi Yao understood the system's unfinished words. She felt a little tired. If she hadn't suddenly remembered to calculate the various values ​​she had obtained before, she wouldn't have discovered such a big loophole waiting for her.

She thought she could achieve financial freedom and enjoy a happy life by relying on her old profession and the system, but in the end she was told that if she didn't complete that disgusting task, she would only be waiting to die.

I'm so angry!

Shi Yao sat on the bed, puffing out her cheeks, and decided to unilaterally wage a cold war against the system.

She didn't want to force herself to win over or please those two people, nor could she simply watch herself die.

Shi Yao scrolled through her phone blankly. Her WeChat was filled with reports from her clients. Compared to the system and the two people in the video, the clients seemed particularly endearing.

System: "No body-to-body attacks allowed..."

"I've got it!" Shi Yao suddenly jumped up, excitedly throwing a few air punches. "I've got it! I've got it!"

Her almond-shaped eyes were bright, and her tone was light: "Didn't you say that we have to gain the favor of the main character in the story?"

The system looked bewildered: "Yes."

Shi Yao didn't want to pursue the original protagonist of the story, but...

"Then why don't I just make them the main characters?"

She remembered the system's notification when she gained Ye Jingyu's favorability, which told her that Ye Jingyu was not originally a key supporting character in the plot, but became a key supporting character under her influence, which is why her favorability was counted by the system.

Before becoming a key supporting character, Ye Jingyu already had a considerable amount of affection for Shi Yao, but it was never recorded until the moment their identities changed.

"If ordinary characters can be transformed into key supporting characters, then why can't key supporting characters become the protagonists of the story?"
