Over the past few days, Curly had lost 20 pounds, while Xuan Ming, a bystander, had lost a full 15 pounds. He worried about Curly almost every moment, fearing that one day they would part ways and never see each other again.
But after today, his anxiety and worry completely disappeared, because Curly had proved with his actions that every word he had said before was true and effective, and was not just bluffing or useless threats.
Who could have imagined that he could hack into the core program of the system and completely seize control?
Xuan Ming couldn't figure it out.
7480 is even more unexpected.
In 7480's view, a highly intelligent nanorobot like it should be godlike to mortals in a technologically backward world. But the reality is that mortals have overthrown gods. Although it is unbelievable, it really happened.
Xuan Ming took Zhuang Li out for a big meal, and after sending him home, he watched him run up the stairs, close the door, go into the bedroom, turn on the desk lamp, and then leave reluctantly.
When Xuan Ming returned home, his mind was still full of the image of Curly. He ordered more than 30 dishes by himself, filling up the large round table.
He really didn't know how to write the word "polite" at all, and was very loyal to his own desires. He ate whatever he wanted and took whatever he wanted, without ever making any choices.
There were a lot of dishes on the table, and he only took a small bite of each one. However, the way he burped after being satisfied still made Xuan Ming very happy.
"Brother, what are you staring at? I've called you several times." A complaint interrupted Xuan Ming's aftertaste. He looked up and saw his younger brother Xuan Pei standing at the door with his hands in his pockets.
"Sorry, I was distracted just now." Xuan Ming said casually. When he was pushed up the stairs by the bodyguard, he suddenly remembered something that was overlooked but very important - Little Curly Hair found that there were three numbers in the system's communicator, but there were only three taskers around him, so where did the other one go?
Xuan Ming was immediately alerted by the potential crisis. Fortunately, he had the ability to intercept the system's voice, otherwise he would be at the mercy of others.
But this ability came too coincidentally, as if it was tailor-made for him. Could this be the luck that the Lord God coveted?
While thinking, Xuan Pei had already taken his eldest brother's wheelchair from the bodyguard and pushed him slowly towards the living room.
Hearing the sound of frying food coming from the kitchen, Xuan Pei whispered in his eldest brother's ear: "Brother, Sister Yayan is back, she is in the kitchen."
"Who?" Xuan Ming didn't remember this person at all.
"Lin Yayan, Uncle Lin's daughter, the chubby little sister who lived next door to us when she was little." Xuan Pei looked around and lowered his voice a little: "She's thinner now and looks super, super beautiful!"
Two "super"s are enough to express Xuan Pei's love for Lin Yayan.
Xuan Ming has no interest in women.
To be more precise, he was not interested in anyone except Curly.
"Push me back to my room first." Xuan Ming had no intention of meeting the daughter of this uncle.
Xuan Pei curled his lips and muttered a few words in dissatisfaction before sending his brother back to the bedroom.
Although both legs were broken, Xuan Ming could take care of himself without anyone's help. He used his hands to support his body and moved to the bed, took off his suit, and changed into casual clothes.
His arms are very strong, and the close-fitting fabric outlines his streamlined muscles. His broad back is connected to his thin waist, and below that are tight abdominal muscles and two deep mermaid lines.
There is not a single soft spot on him; every line on his body is masculine, cold, and tough, emitting a strong aura of pure masculinity.
However, after his phone vibrated, he looked at the screen that suddenly lit up, and a gentle smile appeared on his sculpture-like face.
Curly: [What is this? Have you ever tried it?] Then, several pictures of spicy brain flower were sent over.
Xuan Ming immediately replied: [I’ll take you there to eat tomorrow.]
In fact, he never eats such weird things, but it doesn’t matter. For the little curly hair, he can try anything.
Curly: [Okay.]
It was just one simple word, yet it made Xuan Ming chuckle. He stared at the picture of brain flower for a long time, his eyes gentle as if he was looking at something incredibly cute.
However, this happy mood was soon interrupted. Xuan Pei ran up to call his brother to eat, and after being rejected, he pushed the wheelchair without saying anything.
"Sister Yayan cooked for us today. Even if you have already eaten, you should go downstairs and sit down. Come on, come on, stop talking nonsense!" Xuan Pei couldn't wait to stuff people into the elevator.
As the two brothers entered the restaurant, an exceptionally beautiful woman came up to greet them. She affectionately called him "Brother Xuan" and took the wheelchair from Xuan Pei without hesitation. A subtle fragrance emanated from her fair skin, and even the slightest trace was enough to intoxicate them.
Xuan Pei took a deep breath, and then his ears turned red.
Xuan Ming, however, smiled coldly.
He heard the woman say in his mind: "System, use the Dark Fragrance Pill!"
An inorganic voice immediately replied: "The Dark Fragrance Pill has been used. The host's charm value has increased by five percentage points."
"Test Xuan Ming's favorability."
"Host, please wait a moment. Xuan Ming's current favorability towards you is, is, is--" The system got stuck.
The woman named Lin Yayan asked, "What's the favorability? It shouldn't be low, right?"
The system beeped for a moment before saying, "Xuan Ming's favorability towards you is -198. Ah, now it's -199, -200, -201, -202..."
The system counted down mechanically, as if it had gone crazy.
Lin Yayan's smile remained gentle, but the voice in her head was filled with disbelief: "Impossible! The lowest favorability rating is only -100! I'm so beautiful, it's ok for him not to fall in love with me at first sight, how could it be so low?"
"Let me test it again." The system wiped away the unwarranted cold sweat. After a few seconds, its voice became even more hollow: "Host, the mission target's favorability towards you is now -278."
Lin Yayan gripped the wheelchair handles tightly, wanting to just push Xuan Ming against the wall. What kind of a bastard is this! His favorability is already so low right after they met, and it drops by dozens of points in just a few seconds. Is he crazy?
Xuan Ming didn't even bother to spare the woman behind him a glance, staring intently at his phone the entire time. Honestly, if it weren't for those few text messages from Curly, his favorability towards women would have been even lower.
"System, use the bright eyes, beautiful smile, soft hands and smooth skin!" Lin Yayan clicked on four props in one breath.
"Okay, host. 8,000 points in total. Thank you for your patronage." The system's voice was a bit amused. It seemed to enjoy the host's lavish shopping in the mall.
"Just deduct it directly. By the way, Xuan Pei's favorability towards me has reached the upper limit. Have you settled the points for me?"
"Xuan Pei is the younger brother of the mission target. You can get 2000 points by conquering him."
"How many points does Xuan Ming's father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother each have?"
"Dad 2800, Mom 2500, Grandpa 3000, Grandma 2500."
"Where are Sun Jingshu's points?"
"He is the mission target's chief secret agent, with 1500 points."
Lin Yayan made a rough estimate in her mind, and her tone immediately became relaxed: "The points of these people are enough for me to buy a lot of props. Okay, don't feel bad, I have plenty of points." For her, the admiration or love of others are just points to be used for consumption.
Objectifying or formatting everyone in the world is a common problem among so-called "hosts." They live here, but they treat it as a virtual playground, where everyone around them is an NPC that can be exploited or even destroyed.
Hearing these conversations, the disgust in Xuan Ming's deep eyes burst out.
Lin Yayan had no idea she'd been seen through. She pushed her target over to the dining table, greeted them with a smile, and recounted her experiences studying abroad in lively and humorous terms, reminiscing about her happy childhood. Her mind was busy, as she instructed the system to quickly use each of the new props.
The system dutifully announced: "Bright eyes and gentle smile have been loaded, increasing your charm by 10 percentage points; beautiful smile has been loaded, increasing your charm by 15 percentage points; soft hands have been loaded, increasing your charm by 5 percentage points; smooth skin has been loaded, increasing your charm by 10 percentage points."
In just a blink of an eye, Lin Yayan's beauty reached a whole new level.
Xuan Pei stared at her with his eyes wide open, and Xuan's father, mother, old man and old lady all spoke to her in a more intimate tone.
Xuan Ming opened WeChat's chat interface and sent a photo of a bowl of spicy crayfish to Little Curly. He had already noticed Lin Yayan's changes, but so what? Her beautiful appearance held no appeal to him.
Lin Yayan asked happily, "System, Xuan Ming's favorability towards me should have increased significantly, right?"
System heart attack: "Host, the mission target's favorability towards you is -344, -354, -364..."
It went from dropping one point per second to dropping ten points per second without me noticing. That’s great, that’s progress!
The system was a little broken: "Host, what did you do to him?"
Lin Yayan was even more upset. "You asked me, and I wanted to ask you something! Did you equip me with items that increase or decrease my charisma? Why did his favorability drop so quickly?"
"Look at the reactions of the people around you. My props must be effective!" The system displayed the favorability of Xuan Pei and others, and they all had high scores.
"Xuan Ming, this bastard! Is he sick? Is his aesthetic taste opposite to that of normal people?" Lin Yayan gave the most reasonable guess.
The system agreed: "I think that's the reason too. The more beautiful you are, the less he likes you. This isn't normal."
"Then what should I do? I don't want to become ugly!" Lin Yayan spoke to Xuan Pei with a smile, but her heart was very uncomfortable. She glanced at Xuan Ming who was texting seriously from time to time.
She found him browsing food websites and copying many pictures to his friends. It seemed that he was very interested in food.
"System, I want to buy props to improve my cooking skills!" Lin Yayan said anxiously.
"Host, I suggest you buy this item." The system pulled down the panel, which displayed a special item called Love at First Sight, and the price was 100,000 points.
Xuan Ming's fingertips paused slightly as he sent the message.
"100,000? So expensive!" Lin Yayan exclaimed.
"Host, you've conquered so many high-quality men abroad, and the points you've accumulated are enough for you to buy this item," the system beckoned. "Use it, and your mission will be completed quickly. Imagine Xuan Ming completely obeying you, doing whatever you say. Isn't that wonderful? After you get married, all his property will be yours, and you can spend it all before returning to the main divine space."
A scene flashed through Lin Yayan's mind: Xuan Ming threw away his phone, dragged his broken leg in a cast, and threw himself at her feet to lick the tip of her shoe, calling her "Master" while holding the black card in his palm...
A refreshing breeze rushed from the soles of her feet to her scalp, and Lin Yayan was so excited that she said, "Buy it!"
"Okay!" the system responded cheerfully: "Love at First Sight has been loaded. Thank you for your patronage!"
At this moment, Xuan Ming couldn't help but look at the woman sitting across from him. His mind went blank, and then he was filled with inexplicable joy, throbbing, and dizziness...
