The system calmly revealed the situation that could only be seen from its perspective—
"Master, your initial favorability towards everyone is clearly full, yet you mistakenly believe your initial favorability is 0. Therefore, every dip in your favorability is merely a normal fluctuation, yet you interpret it as hatred towards the other person—hence, the exceptions become particularly noticeable."
The favorability value shows "45".
"Do you know what this 45 stands for?"
Chu Shangli stared into his heart, his expression twitching: "Are you trying to say that this is the value of my feelings for Wei Shengfan?"
"Ah, you actually knew that? Then there's still hope—of course, depending on the situation, it might even be hopeless—after all, someone pretending to be asleep is harder to wake than someone who's actually asleep." The system's voice went from resonating in my head to whispering softly in my ear: "So, do you know what I'm going to say next? Your favorability rating might actually increase significantly."
"You mean to say that my initial favorability towards everyone is 100, but my favorability towards Wei Shengfan is 0, so I always feel that I value him more and more. In fact, even at this point, he is still not as good as a passerby—" Chu Shangli chuckled bitterly: "That's why I would sacrifice my soul for this illusion, and at the same time I can easily abandon him and kill him without any hesitation—as if I had never given him any deep affection."
"Perhaps it's a bit cruel." The system said quietly, "But this is the truth—"
“Forget it—” Chu Shangli sneered: “It’s better that this development was already destined when the system was installed—however, if I had never realized it, this might be the cruelest development…”
"You are quite frank."
Chu Shangli wondered, could this be considered frankness? Hadn't I long ago lost my humanity and only now was I willing to admit it?
Chu Shangli suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at Tan Xing who seemed to be frozen in time.
"Hey, let me ask you, what does the keyword mean?"
"Keywords?" The system said, "Oh!" "Oh, that's right, I was awakened by this. It would be strange if I forgot about this topic in the end—"
Through the transparent colors, many words and various colored "■" appeared on Tan Xing's face in an instant.
"These words are unlocked keywords, and those under '■' are keywords that haven't been unlocked yet. These keywords are all stored in the system, or are intelligence gathered by me and my two previous owners. There's no need to lie here. I'm not very familiar with Tan Xing, so the unlocked information should be in the Imperial system. After all, he's also a 'base body'."
Keywords flashed in front of Chu Shangli's eyes and on Tan Xing's face, with Bai Xiaoqian's photo as a cover. The words floating around were basically unlocked.
In the small print on the lower right corner, there is a single arrow pointing to yourself.
"Single arrow..." Chu Shangli's finger unconsciously pointed at the single arrow.
Tiny, almost invisible fonts suddenly popped up, and the word "admiration" was enlarged.
"Admiration...?"
"Yeah, yes, admiration—"
"Is this admiration... what I understand it to mean?"
"What else? I don't seem to remember what other meanings 'admiration' has..."
Chu Shangli placed his hand on the translucent barrier in front of him——
It's like the cool touch of your palm against glass.
"It really looks like glass—"
