Chapter 92 Chapter 92 32
After Duan Lingling failed to contact Sheng Binxu, she now couldn't even contact her last hope, Fu Sinian.
The system didn't respond at all, as if the mechanical sounds in her mind were all just her imagination.
But she knew clearly that it wasn't true! She really did possess a system, she really had traveled from a world into a novel, she really had transformed from a pretty face into a beautiful woman, and she really could get everything she wanted by absorbing the luck of others!
But the system disappeared.
She could only hope that the system would reappear one day and help her resolve her current predicament. Even if she had to pay more luck points, even if it was Sheng Binxu's luck that she had to absorb!
But no, the system did not appear again like her savior.
Until the day she went to court.
The refereeing is open to the public, not officially, but reporters are allowed in with their equipment.
Everyone was there. Bai Ruoruo, Fu Shiting, Sheng Binxu, Fu Sinian… all the guests on the show, and the many men Duan Lingling recognized who weren’t guests. They were the source of her luck.
Many people came with cameras to broadcast the verdict live.
Because of the popularity, even bloggers who have nothing to do with it in their entire lives are eager to get involved.
Amidst everyone's surprised gazes, Duan Lingling seemed to suddenly realize something and shrank back to protect her face.
But everyone still saw that face with a greatly reduced appearance.
[Help! How did Duan Lingling become like this?]
[Is this Duan Lingling? How come she looks so much uglier after just a few days? Could it be that her previous beauty was all made up? But I remember someone initially marketed her natural look.]
Dull skin and acne are understandable; what's happening now can be considered a major change for a person, even if it's self-inflicted. But my face has gotten bigger, my features are less perfect, and I even feel like my hair has become much thinner. It's no longer the lush, black hair it once was; it looks messy and unnourished.
Even if there were changes, they shouldn't be this drastic, right? It feels like there were filters before, but now there aren't any...
But when the attention-seeking blogger panned his camera over the other guests in the audience, it became clear that the original production team's filters weren't to blame. The other guests didn't change much in this shot. Ruoruo was still breathtakingly beautiful, even more so than in the show, because the clever blogger had already zoomed in and lingered on her face.
Naomi's audience was screaming, and the blogger himself was immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.
No matter how big Duan Lingling is, it is impossible for her to ask the program crew to add a filter for her during the live broadcast. The cost is immeasurable.
[Aaaaah, my wife is so beautiful! But who is that guy next to my wife? He looks handsome, but why is he able to sit next to my wife? Woohoo, I’m so jealous.]
Ruoruo is in good condition. Actually, I felt quite pitiful just now when I saw Duan Lingling's appearance, but when the camera turned to Bai Ruoruo, I could only feel relieved. It's no exaggeration to say that if such a look were to be ruined, it would be a loss to the whole world!
The other guests on the show naturally also saw the man sitting next to Ruoruo. They were accustomed to Fu Shiting sitting on Ruoruo's left, but a man also appeared on her right!
It was hard for them not to look over there, but they had no right to ask or fight for seats.
When Duan Lingling was frantically praying for the system to appear and save her, she didn't know whether her prayers really worked, but she seemed to hear the mechanical sound of the system in a trance.
[bite……]
A surprised smile appeared on her covered face.
But the next second her smile froze on her face.
[Ding, the system has detected that Sheng Binxu (formerly the Son of Luck) has reached zero favorability towards the host. It has also detected that Fu Shiting (formerly the Daughter of Luck) has experienced a significant increase in Luck. It has also detected that Huo Jingshen, Tang Xi, Fu Sinian... have reached zero favorability towards the host. It has also detected that He Chang, Tan Tongtong, Shi You, and Wang Gang... have negative favorability towards the host. Furthermore, the host has reached the maximum amount of Luck they can borrow. The system has determined that the host's current Luck absorption capacity is zero, so the system has initiated an automatic disengagement process...]
Duan Lingling was really desperate at this point. She didn't even care about the judge's verdict and started screaming wildly in front of everyone.
[You lied to me? **You lied to me?]
Ever since she arrived in this world, she has always held a superior attitude, looking down on everyone, like a player with cheats in a game. She is always different and always confident. No matter what situation she faces, because of the system, she always feels that there is a chance of turning the tide.
But now it's all gone.
Notorious, no one liked her, no one could help her turn the tide, and the only ones who seemed to be there were her elderly parents, watching her with tears in their eyes, sitting in the audience. But that was what she despised the most, and was most ashamed of.
She had long since left that home and had no contact with them.
Even though they were sitting in the audience looking at her with worry and concern, she still felt nothing but embarrassment.
In her previous life, she came from such a poor family. After being brought to this world by the system, she still came from such a poor family. She couldn't accept it and just wanted to escape forever.
She had a golden finger that no one else had, so naturally she looked down on such parents. Especially since she had only just arrived late and had no feelings for them at all.
"Okay, Mom and Dad, don't be sad. She is no longer the Lingling she used to be." Duan Chengcheng felt that he had done his best to hire a lawyer for his sister.
Before she came, she still believed that her sister could face reality, recognize her mistakes, and actively correct them, but when Duan Lingling came out, she knew she was overthinking it.
They say some people won't turn back until they hit the wall, but some people won't turn back even if they hit the wall. She is just an ordinary person, and her family is just an ordinary family, so she can't care so much.
Some people were curious about who Duan Lingling was accusing her of cheating, but she only said "you cheated me" without mentioning any names. In the end, they could only conclude that Duan Lingling was playing dumb.
.
Ruo Ruo, who was sitting in the audience, was just watching casually, but suddenly her body stiffened, as if she heard something.
[bite……]
She thought she was hallucinating, but the next second she clearly heard the mechanical sound in her mind.
[Dear host, please confirm whether to bind to the Daughter of Luck system. This system can help you successfully reach the pinnacle of life, become the only heroine in this world, and obtain everything you want~]
Ruo Ruo was stunned for a moment, but didn't seem particularly surprised. Instead, she felt as if she had suddenly realized something.
[Your original host was Duan Lingling?]
"...Yes, host. But Duan Lingling only has entry-level permissions. If you bind to this system, you can unlock advanced permissions without having to spend any effort on any tasks." The system seemed to have a certain level of intelligence, a bit different from the mechanical system it had at Duan Lingling's place. Upon hearing Ruoruo's question, it didn't quite want to answer, but it answered anyway, quickly adding, fearing Ruoruo wouldn't agree to the binding.
But it has never encountered anyone who refused to bind. After all, it is a shining golden finger.
As for not having to complete the tasks, judging from Ruo Ruo, even if she doesn't have to complete the tasks, I'm afraid she will get better results than others who work hard to complete the tasks.
Moreover, it had secretly swallowed up a lot of Duan Lingling's luck. Even if Ruo Ruo really didn't want to plunder other people's luck, it still had enough energy to run the world. Even though it didn't have a human body, it still didn't want to see Ruo Ruo go to great lengths to gain the favor of men in order to complete the mission.
"Would you like to bind to the system?" the system asked again.
[No.] Ruo Ruo calmly refused.
She just wanted to live a simple life, quietly painting, and go shopping and strolling with the eldest daughter in her spare time. She didn't want to reach the pinnacle of life, nor did she want to be the heroine of any world. She didn't have anything in particular she wanted to achieve. She would work hard to get what she wanted, and the system couldn't give it to her.
Furthermore, the most important thing was that this thing was incredibly difficult to master. Her cognition and abilities weren't on the same level as the system's. Once bound, she wouldn't be able to break free. The system might sound nice now, but what if she agreed to bind and then changed her mind? What could she do? How could she escape the system? It was all unknown.
Duan Lingling was crying not far in front of her. The lesson from the past was right there. How desperate must she be to agree to the binding?
There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Even if there were, she wouldn't take it. It would just be causing her more trouble.
Moreover, the system of the Daughter of Luck, considering what Duan Lingling did, is obviously not a good thing.
Of course, she wasn't above dreading the possibility of her refusal being ineffective, but thankfully, things weren't that bad. This so-called system didn't have the ability to force people to bind. It simply kept asking her over and over again if she really didn't want to be bound. Each time, Ruo Ruo firmly refused, and later, she simply ignored it.
She was actually afraid that if she refused, the system would find other people to continue to stir up trouble, but she couldn't take the risk for this reason.
