Ever since Ning Chuchu was tied to the truth system, she has been unstoppable. She has exploited the system's bugs countless times and has been doing very well.
But... now she has encountered a Waterloo in a small task of selecting a house?
Ning Chuchu's first reaction was that there was something wrong with the truth system, and it could no longer guarantee that what she said was absolutely true. Otherwise, how could her choice be wrong?
However, the system chuckled and said in a chicken-thief voice, "No, host. There is absolutely no problem with this system!"
"What happened just now?" Ning Chuchu frowned in confusion.
Before Ning Chuchu had time to delve into the matter, Hu Jiayu walked up to her with a smile on her face, and said with a tone of undisguised pride, "Oh, Chuchu, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Although I only got the last place, I ended up living in a good house by chance."
Ning Chuchu was in a bad mood. Hearing this, she curled her lips with a fake smile, "This may be what they call a fool having good fortune. I can only envy you."
Hu Jiayu: “…” Isn’t this person implying that she is stupid?
Gu Yunfei, who was standing by, smiled in relief. Haha, he was finally not the only one who was persecuted by Ning Chuchu's mouth. However...
"Cousin, I wanted to choose No. 2 from the beginning, but you refused to listen. Now we have to live in that shabby house with Ning Chuchu." Gu Yunfei came to Xie Jinqiu's side and muttered dissatisfiedly.
Xie Jinqiu didn't even look at him. His eyes flickered between Sui Feng and Ning Chuchu. A trace of deep meaning flashed on his face. After a long time, he whispered: "It's good to live together."
Gu Yunfei: “?”
The matter was settled, and Ning Chuchu could only carry her bags and prepare to go to the adobe house. She was still immersed in her own thoughts, constantly thinking about how the system's answer just now could be wrong, and she didn't notice that someone quietly walked up to her.
"Let me help you." A cold and magnetic voice sounded above her head.
Ning Chuchu raised her eyes in confusion and met Xie Jinqiu's deep black eyes.
Xie Jinqiu has always had the cold and indifferent temperament of a high mountain flower, but now when he faces Ning Chuchu, his attitude is always particularly gentle, and his obsidian-like eyes will reveal a hint of tenderness inadvertently.
Ning Chuchu glanced around subconsciously, and when she met the dark camera, her heart sank.
She calmly took a step back, distanced herself from Xie Jinqiu, deliberately looked polite and unfamiliar, and said with a smile: "Thank you, but no need."
Seeing Ning Chuchu's behavior that clearly wanted to draw a clear line with him, Xie Jinqiu pursed her thin lips slightly, her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes silently.
The next second, Sui Feng stepped forward in time, bent down to take the luggage from Ning Chuchu's hand, showed a perfunctory smile to Xie Jinqiu, and said lazily: "Thank you for your trouble, sir, Chu Chu has me here."
Xie Jinqiu looked at Sui Feng expressionlessly, his eyes darkening.
Ning Chuchu was still struggling with system problems in her mind, and was not aware of the undercurrent between the two people. She smiled absently at Xie Jinqiu and followed Sui Feng mechanically towards the adobe house.
[Ahhh! Why do I feel like the atmosphere between these three people is a bit weird! ]
[My goodness, I thought Mr. Xie was a cool and domineering boss, but I didn’t expect him to be so… attentive to Sister Ning? ]
[It’s a pity that my brother-in-law Sui Feng doesn’t seem to agree…]
[Since ancient times, the elder brother-in-law has always disliked those who want to pursue his younger sister. This is normal! 】
[But...but Sister Ning and Mr. Xie really look like a good match...]
[No! I don't agree! Do you firmly support "Ning Pei (Pei)"? ]
Ning Chuchu's mind was quick and her thinking was careful. She had been bound to the truth system for some time and thought she had a pretty good understanding of his rules and regulations. She struggled all the way, and finally got a clue just before reaching the adobe house.
Ning Chuchu's eyes flickered slightly, and she questioned the system in her mind, "Is it because I added two words before I said 'Number 1 represents that bungalow' - 'I guess'?"
Since she said it was her guess, then there is naturally no right or wrong in her guess, and whatever she guesses is reasonable.
This means that if she had directly said "No. 1 represents a bungalow", the truth system would have automatically corrected it for her to the correct answer - "No. 1 represents an adobe house".
But when she added the words “I guess,” the sentence became a statement of her subjective opinion and did not trigger the correction process.
System: "...How did you find it so quickly?"
Damn it, he wanted to look at the host's confused expression a few more times!
Ning Chuchu laughed: "Even your broken system with so many loopholes has been sieved by me by finding the bugs. It's no wonder that it's a little weird."
System: "...Please respect me!"
The main reason is that this system is too simple and the rules are too rigid, which gives her opportunities to take advantage of it, but also puts her at risk of accidentally falling.
It was also because she had been taking advantage of the system wave recently and had been invincible, so she was a little too proud of herself for a while. It seemed that she had to be more careful in the future.
Ning Chuchu smiled slightly and sighed to the system: "Tong, you are really a little goblin. How many surprises do you have that I don't know?"
System: "…What the hell are you talking about?! Why are you suddenly so greasy?"
Ning Chuchu asked in surprise, "You also know about oil? Haven't you secretly read so many novels about domineering CEOs? I thought you just liked this."
System: “…”
The system felt socially dead. He had every reason to suspect that Ning Chuchu was deliberately antagonizing him just because she was upset at the way she was treated by him just now!
Humph, this petty-minded woman is so annoying!
Before she knew it, Ning Chuchu arrived at the adobe house where she would live for the next three days.
Looking at this shabby and dilapidated adobe house, Ning Chuchu felt depressed. The system was a thief, and she had to bear the consequences of her rare failure.
Ning Chuchu frowned and stared at the adobe house in the distance that was becoming clearer and clearer. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but suddenly her eyes moved slightly.
"Um... God? Are you still there?"
As soon as these words came out, the system and the jade bracelet in Ning Chuchu's mind were startled for a moment.
The system's authority is much higher than the jade bracelet's, and it is the controller of this world, so as long as the system is intentionally hidden, the jade bracelet will never be able to discover his existence. Even though he and Ning Chuchu had communicated several times in his mind just now, the jade bracelet was unaware of it.
The system knew that this cunning host was probably going to cause trouble again, so it immediately cooperated in silence, ready to wait for an opportunity to strike.
Yuzhuo was finally summoned, and her heart was agitated, but her tone was deliberately cold and calm, "What is it?"
Ning Chuchu was very unhappy because she was going to live in a mud house, so she urgently needed a bad guy to bear her anger and save her from the bad situation of living in a mud house.
After much thought, is there anything more suitable for persecution than a jade bracelet?
Ning Chuchu had a faint smile on her face. No one could tell that she was bargaining with a jade bracelet in her mind at this moment. "My Lord God, I just lied. Did I help you?"
Yuzhu was slightly stunned, "Are you lying?"
Ning Chuchu said confidently, "Yes! When the host Du Feng asked me to choose a house, I said No. 1 must be a bungalow, but it turned out that I was wrong."
"Although I didn't mean it, I still lied!" Ning Chuchu said calmly.
She accidentally fell into trouble with the system, so she still had to find a suitable victim to pay for it to see if she could recover.
She thinks this jade bracelet is good. :)
Yuzhuo was silent for a moment and felt that what Ning Chuchu said...actually made sense?
He quietly planned to secretly draw Ning Chuchu's luck to try. If he could draw it, it would prove that what Ning Chuchu said was right...
The jade bracelet tried carefully, and then - it really worked!
After a long time, he felt the heroine's luck filling his body. The jade bracelet was extremely excited and at the same time, he was very proud.
It is true that the brave will die of courage and the timid will die of hunger. If he had not made up his mind to fight to the death and took great risks to find the heroine, how could he be so successful now?
It seems that the heroine in this world is not to be feared, and is so easy to fool. It will not be long before he can completely seize her luck!
Just as Yuzhu was looking forward to the future happily, Ning Chuchu immediately asked him: "Lord God, have you verified it? I should have helped you, right?"
Yuzhuo coughed lightly and said in a nonchalant manner, "Well, just barely."
Ning Chuchu curled the corners of her lips in satisfaction. Tongzi was pretty good, very smart and cooperated well with her.
Then, Ning Chuchu said to Yuzhu directly: "You promised me a reward for helping you once. It's time to fulfill your promise now, right?"
Jade Bracelet: “…” This heroine is not only stupid, but also greedy!
However, for the sake of long-term luck absorption, the jade bracelet had to endure it.
Of course, Yuzhuo was smarter than before. Before Ning Chuchu opened her mouth, he made it clear in advance: "Let me make it clear first, your request must not exceed my ability."
"Tsk, so stingy."
Yuzhu was so angry that he wanted to yell at her, but he was really afraid that Ning Chuchu would get angry, so he could only explain humbly: "I've already said it before, I'm trapped somewhere now, and only my spirit body can contact you, so the energy I can mobilize is very limited."
"You asked for so much money last time, and almost drained me out of my money, causing me to fall into deep sleep again!" The jade bracelet even started to sell poorly at the end, "I really don't have much energy right now."
After that, he began to persuade her, "If you really have a strong desire... that's fine."
The voice of the jade bracelet was full of temptation: "As long as you tell a few more lies, I can quickly accumulate energy. Then, no matter what you wish for, I can fulfill it all!"
"It's just a lie. It has nothing to do with itching. It's easy for you, isn't it?"
However, Ning Chuchu lazily rejected it, "Then take your time, I'm not in a hurry anyway."
To deal with this kind of bad guy with evil intentions, you have to train him like you would a dog, with a balance of relaxation and tension, rewards and punishments. You can't be too hasty, nor can you satisfy him all at once and let him get too much.
Ning Chuchu, an old PUA master.
Jade bracelet: “…”
Yuzhuo silently swallowed a mouthful of blood and gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Ning Chuchu raised her eyes and glanced at the adobe house they were about to arrive at. She felt uncomfortable at the thought of staying there for three days.
She immediately said, "I don't want to live in that adobe house."
Yuzhuo responded crisply, "Got it."
Ning Chuchu was slightly stunned. So straightforward?
Just as she was wondering what means the jade bracelet would use to prevent her from living in that adobe house, a loud bang startled her and shook her body.
A strong hand firmly supported her back, supporting her shaking body. After Ning Chuchu slowly stood still, the hand retracted, appearing restrained and polite.
Ning Chuchu didn't notice this silent tenderness at all, her mind was completely shocked by the scene not far away.
The adobe house she had been reluctant to live in actually collapsed...
It collapsed!!!
Ning Chuchu's eyes were wide open, and her expression was rarely dull for a moment.
She said she didn’t want to live in a mud house, so... the jade bracelet directly collapsed the mud house?
This is too wild!!!
There are quite a few celebrity reputation collapse incidents in the entertainment industry, but this kind of “reputation collapse” in the physical sense… is too weird!!!
Not only Ning Chuchu was shocked, the program crew was also in a panic.
Fortunately, the purpose of the jade bracelet was just to prevent Ning Chuchu from living in that house. It only collapsed the dangerous house that should have been demolished long ago, and did not cause any other losses.
This was a house that was about to be demolished in the village. After reporting the current situation to the village committee, the village committee not only did not pursue the responsibility, but also happily said: What a coincidence, it just saves the labor cost of demolition.
For the sake of effect, the program crew deliberately let the guests live in such a dilapidated house. Now that the house has collapsed in front of everyone, the program crew was criticized.
[Holy shit!!! I'm so scared! Why did this house collapse? ]
[I am still sweating profusely. Fortunately, Sister Ning and the others haven’t moved in yet. Otherwise…]
[Fuck, the program crew is asking for trouble! They let the guests live in such a dangerous house. They even threw away their moral integrity for the sake of the program effect?! ]
[SB program crew, get out and apologize! I feel so sorry for my lovely daughter! 】
Because it was being broadcast live, the entire scene of the house collapsing was broadcast live, causing an uproar. Everyone was scolding the program crew for being unreliable.
In fact, the adobe house that the program team found was indeed an unqualified dangerous building, but they ignored this fact for the sake of the program effect. If Ning Chuchu and his friends moved in, they would always be under great risks. Now this incident, in a sense, is Ning Chuchu's luck.
Because no one knows what will happen to this house in the next three days. Although the probability of some accidents happening is extremely small, it is not completely impossible.
The program crew quickly apologized to the guests and dared not to make things difficult for them anymore. They arranged the best local residence for Ning Chuchu and her group overnight and even saved them the trouble of cleaning the room. They considerately took care of all the housework for them.
The program crew knew they were in the wrong, so they were literally fawning and trying to please Ning Chuchu and the others.
Ning Chuchu: “…”
I never expected that the goal could be achieved in this way.
That night, Ning Chuchu lay on the comfortable and soft big bed, enjoying the air conditioning and playing with her mobile phone. She felt so comfortable.
Who could have imagined that a few hours ago, she was about to be sent to live in a dilapidated adobe house?
Ning Chuchu boasted to the system in her heart: "Tong, although I made a small mistake before, fortunately I recovered in time."
"In the end, I decided to live in the adobe house. It's comfortable and nice."
System: "...You are so cunning!"
He was originally feeling proud of his host's failure, thinking it was a lesson for her always taking shortcuts. But he didn't expect Ning Chuchu to turn around and get back at him with the jade bracelet.
The system felt sympathetic. Was he destined to lose to this woman?
Ning Chuchu joked with the system for a few words and then turned to the main business: "How's the jade bracelet?"
The system answered obediently: "My energy is constantly permeating him, and he can't even detect it. It's only a matter of time before I can completely control him."
Ning Chuchu narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, "That's good."
The next day, Ning Chuchu woke up refreshed. The four guests who were supposed to stay in the adobe house and have a sleepless night, each moved into the most spacious and comfortable house in the village. It was a very dramatic result.
When all the guests gathered, Gu Yunfei couldn't help but brag, "Didn't expect it? We stayed in a much better place than you did last night!"
Yi Wen and Yi Jun, brother and sister, looked a little haggard. They just laughed off Gu Yunfei's childish boasting and even echoed him by saying that they envied their luck.
However, Hu Jiayu couldn't save face.
Yesterday she had just mocked Ning Chuchu for her fruitless efforts. Even though she won the competition and had the right to priority selection, she still lived in the worst house. Unexpectedly, she slapped herself in the face right away.
Hu Jiayu bit her lip indignantly.
Especially, she found out yesterday when she moved into the bungalow that it only looked better than the adobe house, but it was actually damp and humid inside, and the production crew didn't even give them hot water, so they had to boil it themselves. Hu Jiayu didn't sleep well the whole night.
Originally, she could still comfort herself by saying “Ning Chuchu and her group were worse off than her”, but... the adobe house actually collapsed!
With the compensation from the program crew, Ning Chuchu and her friends lived a comfortable life!
Hu Jiayu couldn't suppress his anger and snorted, "It's really unfair..."
Gu Yunfei, this explosive barrel, immediately snorted back: "When you got a good house yesterday, you didn't say it was unfair!"
Ning Chuchu crossed her arms and said coldly, "I think... Miss Hu might be a lemon spirit."
"I feel like I can smell her sourness from two miles away."
Seeing Hu Jiayu's face turning blue and red, and being squeezed by her to the point of being speechless, Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows with satisfaction.
At the same time, she said to the system in her mind: "Just now, if I had directly said 'Hu Jiayu is a lemon spirit', even if it was just a joke, you would have corrected it to 'Hu Jiayu is a human' or something like that... right?"
System: “…Indeed.”
Ning Chuchu curled her lips playfully, "But if I add the word 'I think' which represents my subjective feelings, I can say it smoothly."
"Thanks to the mistake I made when choosing the house yesterday, I wouldn't have realized this."
Ning Chuchu smiled like a little fox, slyly and playfully: "In this case... I will have more room to maneuver when I confront others in the future."
System: "...There's no need to be so particular about how to attack people!"
Ning Chuchu touched her chin and pondered, "And... in some cases, using this rule, maybe I can tell a little lie? Then I don't have to wait anxiously for your reward for lying."
Ning Chuchu laughed and danced wantonly on the pain points of the system, "Thank you, Tong, for helping me find another bug that can be exploited~"
System: “…” Damn.
The system bit the handkerchief angrily, feeling extremely sad.
Yesterday, he was still gloating over the host's failure, and thought that letting the host live in an adobe house would make her realize the consequences of taking shortcuts, hoping that she would reform and become a new person.
As a result... she took advantage of the bad luck of the jade bracelet and successfully changed her fate of living in a mud house.
Now I'm deliberately showing off to him because I found another system loophole because of what happened yesterday...
This must be done on purpose to piss him off, right? ! ! !
Damn!
How could he, the master of the world and his great system, not be able to defeat this treacherous and cunning host!
While the system was feeling sorry for itself, Ning Chuchu had already started recording a new day's program in a happy mood.
The sudden collapse of the adobe house yesterday dealt a heavy blow to the program crew.
During the live broadcast yesterday, many viewers had already madly attacked the program crew for having no moral integrity by letting the guests live in such a dangerous building. Fortunately, the house collapsed early, if it collapsed after the guests moved in... the consequences would be simply unimaginable!
All the staff of the program were terrified, their backs wet with cold sweat. Although it was said that the adobe house collapsed because of the jade bracelet, to be honest, the program team was not wronged.
They actually knew that this adobe house was very old and somewhat dangerous, but this kind of lifestyle variety show really likes to watch the guests scramble in the harsh environment and create all kinds of jokes.
Therefore, when the program crew, driven by profit, decided to let some guests live in adobe houses out of luck, they were no longer innocent and it was justifiable for them to be scolded.
Last night, the production team quickly knelt down and apologized, but the storm has not yet died down.
Therefore, in today's recording, the program team guiltily turned off the live broadcast system and just recorded normally. Even some of the segments they had arranged in advance had to be cancelled.
Let the guests go to the forest to find their own food? No, what if they encounter poisonous insects, wild animals, and bees!
Let the guests play some physical games? No, what if they bump into something?
In short, the production team was now a bit paranoid and was really afraid of any more danger. They quickly hired a professional team to conduct another safety inspection of the surrounding environment that day. The recording progress was also temporarily put on hold.
Therefore, today the guests only need to eat, drink and chat, and even the meals have been carefully prepared by the program crew.
A total of eight guests sat together under the big tree in the yard to enjoy the cool air, and everyone chatted to get closer to each other.
Ning Chuchu has been very busy recently, and it is rare for her to have such a relaxing and leisurely day. She lazily leaned on the recliner, looking at the blue sky, and sighed in her heart: That jade bracelet is still somewhat useful. If it hadn't been for his stroke of genius that collapsed the adobe house, how could she have such leisurely time today?
I guess the program crew will be in a mess again.
Ning Chuchu just thought about the jade bracelet in her mind, and the next second she heard a familiar voice coming from her mind.
"Did you lie today? If not, tell me a few words quickly." After experiencing the pleasure of absorbing the heroine's luck, Yuzhuo became more and more eager for this luck. As soon as he appeared, he urged Ning Chuchu to lie quickly.
Ning Chuchu sneered in her heart. She had never seen anyone so eager to die.
But she responded to Yuzhuo with a cheerful voice, "Don't worry, I'll help you."
Dealing with the jade bracelet was just a small matter, and she could get rid of him by just telling him a lie. Ning Chuchu leaned back in the recliner without moving. She glanced around and saw Sui Feng sitting on the chair next to her.
Ning Chuchu's eyes rolled and an idea came to her mind. She lazily called out "Sui Feng".
Sui Feng was sitting under the shade of a tree with his legs crossed. He turned around when he heard the voice. His narrow, sharp eyes glanced at her leisurely and he replied nonchalantly, "What's up?"
Ning Chuchu and Sui Feng have been close playmates since childhood. They are about the same age, and Ning Chuchu has almost never called him "brother". She always calls him by his name, and the same is true for Sui Feng.
Ning Chuchu was not shy with him and said casually, "I'm thirsty."
Sui Feng's phoenix eyes were filled with smiles, but he snorted unmercifully: "You don't even call me brother, and you want to order me around?"
Although he said this, Sui Feng had already sat up slightly, looking like he was ready to pour her some water.
In fact, Sui Feng felt relieved when he heard Ning Chuchu talking to him like this.
They used to tease each other like this. But he and Ning Chuchu had been in a cold war for a long time, and although they have reconciled now, there is still something awkward.
He hoped that Ning Chuchu could rely on and trust him as she did before.
Hearing this, Ning Chuchu smiled but didn't say anything. She focused her attention on the jade bracelet, "Hey, I just lied, how are you doing?"
As soon as Ning Chuchu finished speaking, the system cooperated and disguised the energy as luck and transferred it into the body of the jade bracelet.
Feeling the fullness of energy, Yuzhu was in a good mood, "Not bad!"
Ning Chuchu laughed: "Reward?"
Jade Bracelet: “…you say.” Damn, this heroine is so hard to deal with!
Ning Chuchu already had an idea, and at this moment she smiled mysteriously and said impatiently: "I want an ability - an ability to tell whether others are lying."
Ning Chuchu had long realized that her truth system was a very powerful cheating tool, but it was not omnipotent.
She can indeed know a lot of truths by telling the truth, but many times, she will ignore some things.
For example, she was forced to promote a mask with no quality assurance. At that time, she relied on the truth system to reveal that the lead content of the mask exceeded the standard. Not only did she gain fame and fortune, but she also gave Yun Yirou and the agency a warning.
However, she had no idea at the time that her stepmother Yun Shu was behind the facial mask company. If Xie Jinqiu hadn't used her keen business intuition to find out the truth, I'm afraid she would have been kept hidden.
This is often the case. She doesn't know which things are suspicious, so she can't verify them using the truth system.
Although she accidentally learned some secrets a few times, she was not always so lucky.
And if she had the ability to tell whether someone was lying... this ability, combined with her truth system, would definitely expose anyone who tried to harm her!
She is invincible!
However, Yuzhu hesitated and said, "I can give you the power, but my energy can only last for three days at most..."
"Tsk." Ning Chuchu rolled her eyes in disgust, "So useless."
Jade bracelet: “…” His fist hardened.
Ning Chuchu thought about it and said casually: "Then let's try it for three days. If it's useful, I'll contact you later to continue."
Jade Bracelet: "..." Do you think this is some kind of endless refill of milk tea? !
Yuzhuo felt so aggrieved and depressed that he almost doubted his life.
He was clearly pretending to be a god in front of Ning Chuchu, but... why didn't the heroine respect him at all? !
I don’t know if it’s his illusion, but Yuzhuo always feels that in the heroine’s heart, he might just be a simple sucker who provides rewards…
Yuzhuo complained angrily, but he could only obediently give Ning Chuchu the ability she wanted. In order to take advantage of the heroine's luck, he could be said to be very humble.
The next second, Ning Chuchu gained the ability to "know when others are lying." Although the time limit was only three days, she was still excited.
She looked around with great interest, wanting to verify this magical ability and to find out the details of the various groups of guests on the show.
I don’t know...what kind of hearts are hidden under the skin of the people around me?
But before she could move, a slender and strong hand reached out in front of her, holding a glass of water.
Ning Chuchu looked along the strong forearm and unexpectedly saw Xie Jinqiu's face.
She was stunned.
Ning Chuchu slowly recalled that just now in order to deal with the jade bracelet, she seemed to have casually said "thirsty"... ?
