Chapter 11 Seven "Likes"
My body is out of control.
Yan Zihe glanced at the paintbrush in his hand in despair.
It seems he is still subject to the game system's arrangements.
We must find a way to break free from this constraint as soon as possible.
For now... he can only draw a portrait of Luo Luo.
However, he had never met Luo Luo and had no idea what she looked like, so how could he begin writing?
Okay, okay.
【\( ̄︶ ̄)/】
...
The words Luo Luo had once said came to mind.
They are fond of reduplicated words and long sentences, and they use those kinds of emoticons.
Luo Luo... she must be kind of cute, right?
cute.
The keywords have been determined.
A chubby face, round eyes, snow-white skin, and straight bangs.
That's roughly it.
After thinking about it, Yan Zihe began to paint.
-【ginger】-
[Favorability-1]
[Favorability +1]
For no apparent reason, I lost one point of favorability and then inexplicably gained another.
Jiang Luo was puzzled.
But she quickly put those other emotions behind her.
Yan Zihe is really painting!
Although she knew that this was essentially AI painting, she couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise.
Seeing Yan Zihe's serious expression, her heart softened.
Yan Zihe is like a top student from his school days, always with a serious expression no matter what he does.
Adorned in glory, attracting much attention, forging ahead fearlessly.
Since he's painting her, she should paint him well too.
Jiang Luo lowered her head, her wrist moving intently.
The pen made a "shush" sound as it rubbed against the screen.
8:00.
"Ding-dong."
The beeping sound pulled Jiang Luo's attention away from the painting.
It wasn't Yan Zihe, it was a system notification.
【Dear Miss Luo Luo, remember to complete your daily tasks!】
Oh right, she unlocked the daily tasks yesterday, so let's give it a try.
She put down her paintbrush, stretched, and then opened the taskbar.
[Daily Task 01: Please make a heartfelt confession to Yan Zihe!]
[Daily Task 02: Speak more than 10 sentences with Yan Zihe. (Completed)]
...
"Sweet nothings?" Jiang Luo muttered.
As a relatively unknown actress who has played minor roles in numerous idol dramas, she is adept at delivering sweet nothings.
"That year, the flowers weren't at their best, but thankfully, I met you." (Wang Zengqi, "Human World and Plants")
-【strict】-
Upon hearing that news had come in, Yan Zihe glanced at it.
Then, a big question mark appeared in my mind.
Why did Luo Luo suddenly say such strange things to him?
He wanted to reply, but found that his hand couldn't leave the paintbrush.
They could only watch silently and with disdain.
-【ginger】-
[Favorability-1]
Jiang Luo was dumbfounded.
Nobody told her that doing tasks would also decrease her favorability rating!
Could it be that... Yan Zihe doesn't like romantic, poetic love words?
Could it be... that he likes cheesy pickup lines?
Sunny days are warm, but I don't like them; rainy days are peaceful, but I don't like them either. If you ask me what I like, I'll tell you, I only like every day with you by my side.
This time, the favorability rating didn't drop immediately.
With her facial features contorted, Jiang Luo's thoughts were in turmoil.
"Yan Zihe actually..." likes this kind of thing.
Before he could finish speaking, a line of text appeared on his phone screen: [Affection -5].
"..."
The system is acting up again.
Jiang Luo tapped the chat box.
Even if you don't like it, you should at least reply.
[System notification: Your partner is currently engaged in a painting task and is temporarily unable to reply to your messages.]
The mission is toxic.
I'm not doing it anymore.
She looked at the favorability rating with a pained expression.
-956.
I sighed and decided to keep drawing.
On the wall, inside the disc clock, the second hand ticks away, one tick at a time.
At 10:30, the initial draft of the drawing was completed.
The sketch is complete and awaits coloring.
In the center of the picture is a mobile phone, with a dining table in the foreground of the phone screen and Yan Zihe eating noodles in the background.
Besides the phone, Jiang Luo only drew a blurry side profile, without filling in her own appearance.
It's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone.
She plans to upload this picture to her dedicated drawing account and share it with other Mrs. Yans.
"Ding-dong."
It was a message from Yan Zihe: "Finished drawing."
There were indeed more colors on the canvas, but the canvas was too small to see them clearly.
Jiang Luo clicks on the canvas.
The drawing board is held upright and enlarged.
"Pfft haha..."
When the wildly cursive painting was displayed before Jiang Luo's eyes without reservation, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
She had assumed that AI-generated drawings would inevitably be exquisite and beautiful, but...
It was a high-class stick figure, with a small body and a big face.
Its head is as round as a ball, and its two huge eyes take up half of its face, making it a perfect replica of the Sad Frog.
She even deliberately drew on long eyelashes, as thick as a fan.
The S-shaped strands on her forehead looked like... bangs, but they were more like broken pieces of instant noodles.
What is the kindergarten's drawing level?
Unexpectedly, Yan Zihe is a truly talented artist.
It turns out that even geniuses have insurmountable gaps in their abilities.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Laughter filled the room.
However, Jiang Luo liked this character's shortcomings even more.
Imperfections are sometimes more endearing.
-【strict】-
Why aren't you replying?
The fact that Luo Luo didn't fall into darkness means she's online.
However, the message "[The other party is typing...]" was not displayed at the top of the dialog box.
Is Luo Luo not here?
Or... do you not want to say anything more after seeing his paintings?
I took a closer look at my painting, and... well, it was rather awful.
His cheeks burned, and Yan Zihe turned the easel upside down on the table.
-【ginger】-
"Hahaha……"
Jiang Luo was laughing heartily when suddenly the drawing board flipped over.
Looking closer, Yan Zihe's lips were downturned, and he seemed... not very happy.
He sat at the table, not playing on the computer as usual, but staring at his phone.
Are you waiting for her reply?
What should she reply to in order to gain favor?
A frank "hahaha"... that probably won't work, right?
Jiang Luo pursed her lips, suppressing a smile, and typed: "Very well drawn..."
[Favorability-1]
Ahhhhhh...
She hasn't sent it yet!
Her smile vanished instantly, and Jiang Luo hurriedly typed: "It's so good! I love it so much! I love it so much! I really love it so much!"
-【strict】-
One is "good-looking".
Seven "likes".
Yan Zihe lowered his eyes.
My heart felt like it had been stung, itchy and itchy.
-【ginger】-
[Favorability +2]
"Whoa—"
Jiang Luo breathed a long sigh of relief.
She's been saved; her favorability has been restored.
It turns out that to gain favor, one not only has to guess Yan Zihe's preferences, but also has to show enough liking for him.
Jiang Luo noted this down.
"Ding-dong."
Yan Zihe: "Thank you for your appreciation."
He was still so polite.
Jiang Luo replied with a smile, "Your drawing is very cute."
[Favorability +1]
Jiang Luo discovered another characteristic—Yan Zihe liked to be praised.
A little praise will increase your favorability.
Yan Zihe: "Do I look like you?"
Jiang Luo: "..."
picture.
It doesn't seem like it.
The answer that can gain favorability is undoubtedly the former.
Jiang Luo's lips twitched, and she answered against her will, "Very similar."
[Favorability +1]
Well, it's worth it as long as I can gain favorability.
