Xin Sui: "System, have you ever heard this saying?"
[What? ]
The easier something is to obtain, the less it will be valued.
"If you make me cook for Xuantu so often, he'll definitely think I'm eager to be his chef and like to cook for him all the time."
"Even the most delicious food will become tiresome if you eat it too much, and even the most amazing culinary skills will become commonplace once they become routine."
"Do you think that by then, if he eats my food again, his 'darkening value' will still decrease?"
[Emmm...that seems to make sense.]
"Therefore, cooking tasks should not be posted so frequently; it is best to leave some time in between."
"The next time he eats it, he'll feel a sense of novelty, he'll feel it's not easy to come by, and he'll feel that each time he eats it is one less time. This is how you ensure that his 'darkening value' decreases, understand?"
[Okay, this system has remembered.]
Xin Sui went downstairs, found a tube of noodles in the storage room, and simply cooked a bowl of egg noodles to eat.
Actually, she cooks more out of interest.
Treating yourself to a big meal when you're in the mood is a way to enjoy yourself.
But who has the patience to cook every single meal every day?
After finishing her meal, she simply threw the bowl into the sink and left it there.
A bowl isn't worth her effort.
Let's see if we can get Xiaoming to spend the money for her tomorrow.
That little rascal stole so many of her snacks, she'd better seize the opportunity to squeeze him dry.
After all, those snacks are things you can't buy in the apocalypse.
It hurts just thinking about it.
Xin Sui went for a walk outside to digest his food.
The system then assigned her another task.
[Limited-time mission - Coax the main villain to sleep and successfully get him to sleep]
[Task Time - 1 hour]
[Task Reward - Free access to water within the villa]
Xin Sui: "..."
This system really goes to great lengths for Xuantu.
"System, do you think that with my current relationship with him, I can get close to him and lull him to sleep?"
"You know how distrustful he is. During the few days I stayed in the courtyard, I didn't even get a room and had to sleep on the floor the whole time."
"Why send me a task that's destined to fail? We need to take things step by step; taking too big a step can easily—"
[Host, who said they would do the mission properly? Do you not want to do the mission anymore?]
[Besides, if the task isn't challenging, what use are you to me?]
Xin Sui: "You made me do tasks just to lower his corruption level, right? If I have a way to achieve that goal, what will you say?"
[What method?]
"How about we make a bet? Don't issue any missions tonight, just wait and see what I do tomorrow."
"If I successfully reduce Xuan Tu's corruption value, then I will decide the rewards for future missions. Of course, I won't ask for anything too outrageous."
"If I fail to do it, I'll do 10 tasks for you for free, including the ones that have already been posted. How about that?"
The system thought about it and realized that even if it lost, it wouldn't suffer any loss.
After all, the reward was originally meant for the host. It's just that it will be customized in the future, which makes no difference to the host and saves it the trouble of figuring out the reward.
If it's too outrageous, it's not too late to refuse, is it?
If it wins, the host will have to work for it for free for a while.
It's a great deal.
[Okay, it's a deal.]
Xin Sui leisurely returned to his house.
There was a reward she had wanted for a long time.
If she wins and can customize the reward, she will immediately complete the task to get that reward.
At that point, eliminating the Crimson Frost, the subterranean race, will no longer be a problem.
Bright City is the main base and foundation of Xuantu, so she plans to set up the base of the Twin Evening Alliance she and the male protagonist formed here as well.
Red Frost is a spy of the Earth Core Clan and holds the high position of deputy city lord. It is unknown how many spies he has planted in the city.
If she is not eliminated, her actions will inevitably be severely restricted in the future.
Lying on the familiar, soft bed, Xin Sui rolled around a few times contentedly. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly remembered something.
"System, please keep an eye on Shui Duoduo for me. If he comes to Bright City, please let me know."
[good. ]
*
In a dimly lit room.
Xuan Tu lay in a crystal coffin made of Xuanjing stone.
With hands placed on the abdomen, breathing lightly, the chest barely rises or falls.
It resembles a cold, jade-carved human figure.
He appeared to be sleeping, but in reality, his consciousness, or rather his spiritual body, had left his body and arrived in a magnificent and spacious palace.
There was nothing inside the hall except for a wide black chair on the high platform at the head of the room.
In the side hall, there was a very large round table, with a miniature landscape map of Tomato Island suspended above it.
A tall, slender figure stood before the round table.
He had long, silvery-white hair that cascaded down like silk, reaching his ankles, and had a very textured look.
She wore a snow-white robe, with a badge embroidered in gold thread on her chest—a hand grasping a light blue planet.
This is the logo of the Star-Picking Alliance.
When Xuan Tu walked in, he raised his head, revealing a handsome and beautiful face.
It was Styx, the leader of the Star-Picking Alliance.
"leader."
Xuan Tu spoke calmly.
A smile spread across Styx's icy green eyes. "Atu, you've come. Have a seat."
He raised his hand and gently brushed across the table, and a cup of tea appeared out of thin air, steaming and fragrant.
A magnificent black armchair appeared beside the table.
Xuan Tu pulled out a chair and sat down. "Your superpower has improved again."
He said this because the tea and the chair were both conjured by Styx using his spiritual power.
Even this entire hall was created by him using his spiritual power.
Here, he is God.
He said, “Let there be light,” and there was light in the temple;
He said that if there is a sun, then a sun will rise here.
Styx's special ability—mental link.
This is an extremely powerful and secretive psychic ability.
The Styx River, possessing this special ability, can leave a mental imprint on the minds of others.
This spiritual imprint is like a door; when he needs to summon someone, he only needs to knock on this door, and the other person will be able to sense it.
Thus, they arrived at the hall in the form of a spiritual entity to have a secret conversation with it.
Xuan Tu sensed his summons and came here.
Styx accepted the praise steadily, "I think so too. Watch me conjure something up for you."
He stretched out a hand, and a "Xiao Ming" appeared in his palm, making a face at Xuan Tu, lifelike and vivid.
Xuan Tu, however, was not grateful and slapped "Xiao Ming" away.
"What do you want?"
Styx shrugged. "It's been so long since we last met, don't you miss me? Let's catch up."
Xuan Tu stood up and turned to leave.
Styx quickly stepped forward and grabbed him, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, alright?"
