Chapter 4
Men's feelings are really worthless
Even though Ling Suisui had muted the system, she still seemed to be able to feel the system's hysteria from the text pop-up windows.
The system questioned her: [Host, why do you want to waste the props on yourself? The system has worked so hard to help you apply for a novice gift package! 】
——Look at what you said, it would be a waste to use good things on her.
Just a joke, this is her golden finger.
Ling Suisui calmly replied: [I don’t know how effective it is, so of course I have to try it first. What if you provide counterfeit or shoddy products, causing the 85 favorability points that I worked so hard to obtain to drop? 】
This was not a complete lie to the system, she was indeed here to try it out. Didn’t you see that she brought a camera with her and chose a rehearsal room with a mirror?
However, no matter what the results of the trial were, she would not give it to Chen Yuening.
If this thing has a mediocre effect, or even a negative effect, then there is no need to give it to him, and Ling Suisui doesn't want to harm anyone;
If the effect is very good, then I will definitely not give it to him. I will keep it for myself.
The system didn't know her inner thoughts, it could only hear Ling Suisui questioning the effectiveness of its products.
The system was anxious. The host actually questioned whether it was fake or not? How is that possible? It would be too damaging to the system's self-esteem!
In order to prove itself, it popped up a bunch of introductions and explained to Ling Suisui in detail the principle of the "acting skills enhancement buff".
With the help of this system of props, the user will have the muscle memory of a master performer.
That is to say, when her brain decides what to act out, her body follows her instincts.
Whether it is exaggerated body movements or subtle control of facial features, as long as she knows what she wants to play, there is nothing she cannot play.
It sounds okay, Ling Suisui tried it in front of the mirror.
She thought about crying and tears came out of her eyes. She seemed to be able to control her tear glands, allowing the tears to accumulate in her eye sockets, and decide when to fall according to her heart.
She performed 108 different ways of crying in front of the mirror, including crying alone with a broken heart, crying loudly with an emotional breakdown, and crying with joy after finally seeing the sun come down from the rain...
Each way of crying can accurately convey the character's emotions, and the movements are very natural and smooth. If Ling Sui hadn't clearly remembered that she used props, she would probably have really thought that she had suddenly gotten the hang of it and her acting skills had improved.
However, the acting skill enhancement buff is not a panacea. What she had in mind was a spectacular martial arts scene, but the moves were in place but looked weak and powerless. While doing a backflip, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
This cannot be blamed on the props being useless, it’s because her physical fitness has not kept up. These martial arts moves were too much for her.
The one-hour trial card ended quickly, and Ling Suisui was still savoring what had happened just now.
Well, she admitted that although the sister-in-law system was a scam, the props it provided were indeed useful and not exaggerated.
In order to ensure the immersive experience just now, Ling Suisui chose "Receive system messages but do not disturb". She clicked on the envelope icon on the page and checked the countless messages in the system.
This mode is very useful, so Ling Suisui decided to turn it on for a long time. Whether it's the change in the favorability of the target or any prompts from the system, she only needs to spare five minutes every day to look at them.
Although there are a lot of messages, there is no focus, and there are several lines of meaningless garbled codes in the middle.
Hmm...it can be seen that the system is really anxious.
Ling Suisui put away the tripod and saved the video. The performance just now was not just an experience, she had to take it back and continue studying it.
On the way to the cafeteria to get food, she said to the system: [Don't be angry, I do this to speed up the progress of the strategy. 】
Ling Suisui ignored the system before because he thought it was useless.
But now, even if the system's original intention is still not for her good, as long as she can get some benefits from it, Ling Suisui can cooperate with the performance.
Although their ultimate interests are inconsistent, they can seek common ground while reserving differences in the process!
Of course, in order to resolve the differences, Ling Suisui needs to use a little "art of language".
Without waiting for the system to reply, she asked it first: [System, is our ultimate goal to max out Chen Yuening's favorability so that I can meet the requirements of the main system if I choose him as the male lead in the future? 】
System: [That’s right, but the host used the props himself, and you wasted the opportunity to improve [Chen Yuening]’s favorability. 】
You only see the surface. 】
Ling Suisui walked into the cafeteria and said to the system as he went upstairs: [But in fact, I just chose another way of strategy. 】
[In the entertainment industry, admiration for the strong is a common trait. The stronger a person is, the easier it is for him to gain the favor and respect of others. There is a saying that goes, "If you bloom, butterflies will come to you." This is what it means. 】
[Think about it, when I became the light of the acting department and an outstanding student of the film academy, even if I didn't take the initiative to appear in front of him, his campus life was related to me everywhere. This kind of admiration and respect can easily be transformed into goodwill. 】
The system hesitated: [But...]
[No buts, just listen to me.] 】
Ling Suisui interrupted it in a decisive tone, and his strong tone made the system unconsciously feel a little more agreeable.
As she lined up to choose a canteen stall, she said: [More importantly, as my own strength and charm increase, the favorability of other conquest targets will also increase simultaneously. Even if they haven't appeared yet, as long as I meet them, their initial favorability towards me will definitely not be low. 】
It was her turn. Ling Sui pointed at the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and braised chicken legs with sauce.
"Just these two, plus the vegetables on the side, and a quarter of the rice. Take-up, thank you."
Facing the upcoming school entrance exams, Wen Jiayan decided to eat salad, Xia Tian took out beef and shrimp, but Ling Suisui still preferred Chinese light meals.
After she ordered the dishes, she continued to say to the system: [Didn’t you tell me before that there is also the Charming Shura Field? 】
[Take my advice, investing in yourself is better than investing in any man. If you can get more men with the same effort, wouldn’t that be a big win? 】
——The previous ones are all nonsense, only this sentence was specially designed by Ling Suisui.
If she guessed correctly, the more male protagonists with full favorability, the more benefits the system can get. As long as she grasps this pain point, the system will definitely listen to her.
Sure enough, the system asked her: [Is what the host said true? 】
Ling Suisui: [Every word I said is true. 】
But when they are connected into words and sentences, this is not necessarily the case.
She took the lunch box handed to her by the waiter, packed it in a bag and took it away.
The system sent her a cute facial expression to express its joy and excitement.
The system figured it out and believed that the host was right. You should use one resource and get multiple returns, so as to maximize your investment returns.
Times have changed. Modern people should focus on efficiency first, speed is king!
Ling Sui nodded with satisfaction, saying that this boy is teachable.
She used the time it took to queue up for food to successfully fool the system - successfully convincing it of the importance of finding the right investment method.
See, this is her efficiency and speed.
After dealing with the system and changing its attitude, Ling Suisui's progress in taking advantage of it became much smoother.
On the way back to the dormitory, she figured out how to use the system's other functions.
Items like "Acting Enhancement Buff" are usually sold in the system mall. It is sold for 50 points each and is valid for 1 hour.
Other items in the store:
"Efficiency Improvement Buff", priced at 20 points, valid for 1 hour;
"Blasting Red Aura Buff", priced at 200 points, valid for 24 hours;
The other six are all beauty and skin care projects.
There are single treatments for hands, feet, eyes, neck and face, with prices ranging from 100 to 200 points. There are also full-body treatment packages for 500 points, which include all the above items.
From this perspective, the novice gift package given by the system is quite generous.
Ling Sui had a deeper understanding of this after learning about the channels for obtaining points.
There are three main ways to obtain system points: sign-in rewards, achievement rewards, and full favorability rewards.
Under the guidance of the system, Ling Suisui first completed the daily sign-in and obtained 5 points today. Within the random range of 1 to 10 points, your luck is neither good nor bad.
And then... nothing happened.
The achievement column has not been unlocked yet, it is full of locked grey badges, and she does not know the conditions for achieving it;
In the favorability list, there is currently only Chen Yuening’s avatar and progress bar.
Ling Suisui clicked on the details and found that the maximum favorability value would only reward 100 points.
She asked the system: [The novice gift pack has 100 points, why is it that the maximum favorability is only 100? Is there a bug? Is there a missing zero here? 】
System: [How can the protagonist’s love be measured by points? This love is the most precious and priceless treasure in the world. 】
Ling Suisui: ...
I understand now. Men’s feelings are really worthless.
She asked the system again if she could first be awarded 85 points in proportion. The system said no, and that the maximum value must be reached before 100 points could be awarded.
The system told her honestly: [The favorability level is often stuck at 99. As long as it is not up to the full value, it could be a brief moment of affection, and it cannot be considered that he truly loves you. 】
Ling Suisui understood. No wonder Chen Yuening's favorability value soared so quickly.
It seems that her only way to obtain points stably is to sign in daily.
If she was extremely angry, she would have to sign in for fifty consecutive days to be able to afford the one-hour "acting skills improvement buff"; but even if she was the reincarnation of the European Emperor, it would take at least five days.
System: [The host's current points balance is 105. It is recommended that you purchase an acting skill enhancement buff and use it in the entrance exam. It will surely amaze everyone. 】
Ling Suisui shook his head to indicate no.
The system is too simple. It is amazing during the exam, but what about after the exam?
Not to mention that the acting department has performances every month, even in the daily training in acting class, the teacher can see that her level is erratic, sometimes high and sometimes low.
If an actor cannot maintain a stable performance, who would dare to let her take on a good project or a good opportunity?
Rather than believing that she can give a good performance, most people would be afraid that she would "perform poorly" - for an actor, there is no limit to mistakes.
Therefore, she did not use the "acting improvement buff" on Chen Yuening during the exam, actually for his own good.
Although she is indeed reluctant to part with the good props, there is no conflict between the two.
To sum up, Ling Suisui’s positioning of the prop “acting skills improvement buff” is a teaching experience card.
While the props are in effect, she is her own acting teacher. If there are any performance clips that are not expressed well in the past, you can find the correct answer in the immersive experience.
After the experience, she will transform her body’s muscle memory and understanding into her own.
She was already very satisfied to be able to do this.
As for other props, when they are needed, we will consider them based on her points.
Ling Suisui returned to the apartment building carrying a lunch box. Even though the journey had made her a little tired, she still chose to climb the stairs instead of taking the elevator.
Physical exercise anytime, anywhere√
If she could get over the stairs, she could definitely get over her first hurdle in film school.
etc……
Ling Suisui corrected his inner monologue, it was a level (qiǎ)
