Chapter 268 is just one part of the play.



Yu Wanling was still depressed because she had lost all her points.

Thinking about how to quickly win over Lu Jin'an, I had just switched shifts with my colleague and was about to go find her when Lu Yu and her companion arrived.

"Sister Wanling!"

Upon seeing one of her conquest targets and the other their younger sister, Yu Wanling immediately adopted her best demeanor, greeting them with a gentle smile and a tone of delighted surprise.

"How did you get here?"

Lu Yu affectionately stepped forward and took Yu Wanling's arm.

"Of course we're here to see Sister Wanling! Is Sister Wanling busy right now? Will we be bothering you?"

Yu Wanling thought that with Lu Yu around, it would be much easier for her to go find Lu Jin'an, and happily patted the back of her hand.

"I'm not busy, I just switched shifts with a colleague."

Lan Mingxuan, standing beside them, lingered on their intertwined arms, his gloved fingers rubbing together.

Yu Wanling keenly sensed his gaze, and when she turned her head, she deliberately positioned herself at the perfect angle so that Lan Mingxuan could see her slender, fair neck.

Lan Mingxuan was indeed drawn in, his gaze shifting, his eyes darkening.

"Mission target: Lan Mingxuan, favorability +5, current favorability 75%."

Yu Wanling suppressed her triumphant smile; she had long since figured out Lan Mingxuan's little quirk.

He's just a little brother, this is easy for me to handle~

Without showing any emotion, she mentally connected with the system, thinking, "Exchange it for points."

"50 points successfully redeemed. Current points balance: 50. Please..."

Lu Yu was still congratulating herself on her good luck, having just run into Yu Wanling who was taking a break.

"That's great, Sister Wanling, let's go sit in the lounge for a while."

The three walked towards Yu Wanling's lounge. Yu Wanling seemed to only then belatedly notice Lan Mingxuan, and asked him like an older sister:

Is Mingxuan also taking a break today?

In front of Yu Wanling, Lan Mingxuan was like a dog before its master, extremely obedient.

"No, I just happened to be patrolling this area."

Lu Yu started chattering again, complaining to Yu Wanling about her uncle. Yu Wanling was instantly drawn to her, while Lan Mingxuan, who had been neglected, stared at Lu Yu with an unusually cold gaze.

Even while wandering around the base, Li Xin'er didn't relax her surveillance of Yu Wanling, so she kept a close eye on the movements of the three of them.

Hearing Lu Yu's hostility towards her, Li Xin'er couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lu Jin'an beside her.

Lu Jin'an caught her gaze, paused for a moment, and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face.

Is there something on my face?

Li Xin'er shook her head, "No."

Then he calmly looked away.

She was just curious how, among all the shrewd members of the Lu family, there was one person with such a simple and 'naive' mind.

Yu Wanling and Lan Mingxuan were clearly using her, and she was foolishly playing along as a pawn in their game.

Following up on what Lu Jin'an and the others had just been saying, she casually added:

"Since those people don't get along with you, why is your sister still playing with them so well?"

Yu Su's eyes widened in surprise. They know all this?

He looked at Lu Jin'an suspiciously, "Did you tell her?"

Lu Jin'an glanced at him; the answer was obvious. He asked Li Xin'er.

You know?

Perhaps in his eyes, Li Xin'er was too mysterious and powerful, as if any unbelievable thing could happen to her and make people believe it, so he wasn't too surprised.

Li Xin'er was very 'honest', saying, "I know a little bit."

I just found out.

But to Lu Jin'an and the others, this appearance was simply unfathomable.

Yes, as expected of Li Xin'er.

"When my grandfather was still alive, the Lu family and the Lan family had a pretty good relationship. The old men even talked about it in their drunken state, mentioning a marriage alliance between the two families..."

Lu Jin'an recounted the history of their families' past to Li Xin'er.

While Li Xin'er was listening, she wasn't idle either.

Yu Wanling just received 50 points, I'm a little envious~

Since she can't get it, let's do something different.

I placed an order for a disposable lifebuoy worth 50 points directly from the system store.

The product details page states that this is an emergency item; after purchase, it automatically inflates upon landing, enveloping the body and forming an inflatable ball shape, allowing it to float on water for up to 6 hours.

Inside the lounge, Yu Wanling was holding a small, treasured packet of tea, intending to generously entertain her two 'distinguished guests'.

'Clatter'

"It's alright, I don't usually drink tea... Ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, and before the three of them could react, Yu Wanling was enveloped in a ball of orange and transparent colors.

"Sister Wanling!"

"Wanling!"

Lu Yu and Lan Mingxuan instantly stood up from their seats, nervously extending their 'Erkang hands' (a term used to describe hands used by Erkang in Chinese folklore to express affection).

Yu Wanling was stunned, because the system's notification sounded in her mind.

"50 points have been deducted, and the current points balance is 0. Please complete the task as soon as possible to increase the favorability of the task target."

"What is this thing?!"

"System, what are you doing?!"

"When did I buy anything!"

Yu Wanling roared three questions in her heart, and at this moment she even had the urge to kill the leader.

"System check in progress..."

Here we go again. Yu Wanling felt like she was about to collapse. There were still two people she needed to deal with, so she could only let the system do its testing for now.

Because the three people were speaking quite loudly, they attracted the attention of people outside, and a nurse and doctor nervously pushed open the door and entered.

"What's wrong?"

When they saw Yu Wanling trapped inside a giant, plastic-like sphere, everyone was equally surprised and astonished.

"Dr. Yu, what's going on?"
