"The hero saves the damsel in distress and wins her heart; what a perfect script."
He thought to himself smugly.
However, just as his hand was about to touch Gu Siqing, an untimely voice rang out.
"stop."
The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
Ye Chen paused, then suddenly turned around.
He saw the country bumpkin, dressed in tattered clothes and covered in mud, standing not far away, looking at him calmly.
"Let go of that girl."
Qin Xiao repeated, his tone still calm, as if he were simply stating a fact.
After saying that, he took a step forward.
Then, Qin Xiao fell flat on his face with a "plop".
"Failure +1".
The system notification sounded again.
A burst of suppressed laughter immediately erupted around them.
"Is this guy trying to be funny?"
"That was a really bad fall, hahaha!"
Ye Chen's face darkened instantly, and veins bulged on his forehead.
He felt that his carefully planned hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress drama had been completely ruined by this idiot who suddenly appeared!
The throbbing pain in his buttocks, in particular, seemed to be a reminder of the humiliation he had suffered at the hands of Qin Xiao not long ago.
New and old grudges surged into his heart, and Ye Chen's eyes became incredibly sinister.
"Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you meddle in my business?"
Ye Chen roared, channeling his inner energy and unleashing a fierce punch that hurtled towards Qin Xiao, who was still lying on the ground!
He's going to make this reckless guy pay the price!
Qin Xiao lay on the ground, a knowing smile playing on his lips.
"Yun Yiyi".
He quickly issued the command in his mind, his voice calm and decisive.
"【All or Nothing】System ready. Damage reflection ratio adjusted to the minimum, 10%... no, 5% will do."
Yun Yiyi's voice trembled noticeably with confusion as she weakly asked, "Host, what... what are you going to do? I finally gained the rebound skill, but now..."
"I want to be beaten up."
Qin Xiao's answer was simple and direct, without the slightest hesitation.
"Moreover, they need to suffer consecutive defeats."
He slowly raised his head, looking through his disheveled hair at Ye Chen, who was charging towards him like a beast, his eyes flashing with a light that was a mixture of madness and calculation.
[All failures] plus [Desperate gamble].
One guarantee is that all his subsequent proactive actions will inevitably fail.
One guarantees that the more times he fails, the greater his reward will be when he finally wins.
Ye Chen's anger will be the stepping stone for him to reap the rewards.
