Xuan Ming was a rather apathetic person. The information the Lord God had transmitted to the system was not wrong; apart from his work, he truly loved no one. But now, he stared intently at the woman sitting across from him, his eyes filled with obsession, fanaticism, and aggressive desire.
Such momentum coupled with his purely masculine face was like a heat source, steaming the surrounding air.
Lin Yayan glared at him with a blushing face, then lowered her head shyly, chuckling in her heart: "Men are all like this, they can't walk when they see a beautiful woman!"
The system exposed it, saying, "No matter how beautiful you are, he won't like you. It's mainly because my tools are effective."
Lin Yayan: “…”
Holding her breath secretly, Lin Yayan asked, "How much does he like me now?"
The system replied happily: "80 already."
"Why is it only 80?" Lin Yayan was very disappointed: "90 is deep love, he still needs 10 points to meet the standard!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? The favorability is still increasing and will soon reach 90." The system said confidently.
Their conversation naturally reached Xuan Ming's ears. He knew something was wrong, as if a speaker had been implanted in his brain, repeating to him over and over again: You should like the girl sitting across from you. She is so beautiful, so charming. Your soul belongs exclusively to her.
However, what Xuan Ming saw was a disgusting thing with a face full of coldness and greed. Her smiles were hypocritical, and her kindness to others was always with a specific purpose. She won everyone's favor only for points.
How could Xuan Ming possibly be attracted to something like this? He wasn't a garbage dump.
The dizziness and palpitations were quickly suppressed by the clear consciousness, and were replaced by a surging disgust. Xuan Ming looked away, and the lines on the side of his face were as cold as an ice sculpture.
The system exclaimed: "Why did the favorability drop?!"
Lin Yayan, blushing as she picked up some food for Xuan's mother, almost jumped up. "How much has your favorability rating dropped?"
"It's dropped to 70, no no no, now it's 60, 50, 40... This won't work!" This is the first time the system has encountered such a situation.
"I spent 100,000 points to buy the item, and this is the effect? System, you are cheating me!" Lin Yayan tried hard to maintain a sweet smile on her face, but the voice in her mind was distorted.
"Wait a minute, I'll increase the power, but you have to charge me 500 energy points." The system did not forget to blackmail the host at this time.
"System, if there is a problem with your props, you are responsible for solving it for me. This is your obligation. Why should I recharge your energy?" Lin Yayan felt that she had suffered a great loss.
"You don't have to charge. I can't adjust the power of the props without energy points. Just consider your 100,000 points as a waste." It's not his money, so the system is not in a hurry anyway.
Lin Yayan was at her wit's end. After struggling for a few seconds, she said angrily, "Okay, okay, I'll top it up for you! You can deduct it yourself!"
"Okay, 500 points have been added to the energy tank. I will help the host adjust the power of the props immediately." The system's voice was full of joy.
Xuan Ming, who had been holding his forehead and trying to get through a dizzy spell, was attacked again. He clearly felt that Lin Yayan was a form of visual pollution, but he couldn't help but look at her.
What was even more bizarre was that her face slowly changed. The soft lines slightly gained some delicate edges, and the beautiful facial features gradually became light, but the narrow and long phoenix eyes added a touch of boldness; the turbid pupils suddenly turned into a cold depth; the thin crimson lips were tilted upwards, clearly a faint smile, but also extremely proud.
This face is always on Xuan Ming's mind, and is unconsciously engraved in his subconscious. Who else could it be but the little curly-haired boy?
Xuan Ming's dilated pupils suddenly focused, and then burst into a burning light. His breathing became rough and heavy due to dizziness and palpitations.
Lin Yayan felt hot all over under his extremely aggressive gaze, and this time she really blushed.
The system said dazedly: "The favorability has exploded! 799, 800, 801..."
Lin Yayan was shocked. "Isn't the highest favorability rating only 100? Where did 799 come from? I've even conquered the Immortal Lord in the world of cultivation, and his favorability rating is only 99!"
The system guessed: "Maybe I accidentally turned the power up too high."
Lin Yayan said with satisfaction: "That's really all thanks to you, system. At this rate, the target of the mission will love me to the core."
Xuan Ming heard the conversation between the two, but his mind, consumed by obsession and love, was unable to process the information. He only knew that he couldn't take his eyes off this indifferent, handsome, yet extremely arrogant face.
He seemed to often look at him like this, admiring him, being impressed by him, and being obsessed with him.
"The favorability is still rising. It's already 999. Is love at first sight really that powerful?" The system muttered doubtfully.
An item whose favorability soared so quickly wouldn't be sold for just 100,000 points.
Lin Yayan was not listening to the system at all. She was glaring at the man opposite her, pretending to be embarrassed and angry.
However, she had no idea that her beautiful face looked completely different in Xuan Ming's eyes. She looked like a proud and cunning little fox, who could bare his teeth and sneer even at the hunter's gun.
Xuan Ming's cold face also broke into a smile, and his expression was incredibly gentle.
System: "Favorability is 1099. One glare will increase your favorability by 100 points. Host, glare a few more times."
Lin Yayan was so proud that she glared at him several more times.
At this moment, the phone Xuan Ming had placed on his desk began to vibrate. Someone with the name "Little Curly" sent him a few photos of delicious food and, in a matter-of-fact tone, requested, "I want to eat these pastries tomorrow morning. Please send them to the lab."
Xuan Ming reluctantly turned his gaze away from Lin Yayan's face and looked at the text message, a dark glint flickering in his deep pupils. The curly-haired boy was clearly sitting across from her, so how could he be on the phone?
After a while, he picked up his phone and half-leaned on his wheelchair, seemingly reviewing it carefully. His other hand had taken a fork and stabbed his thigh fiercely, once, twice, three times...
Because of the obstruction of the table, no one knew what he was doing.
The joyful system was suddenly struck by lightning: "Favorability has dropped! 999, 699, 99, -199... Oh my god, what just happened?"
Lin Yayan, whose ears were blushing with embarrassment, turned pale as paper in a second.
Xuan Ming took off his coat and covered his blood-stained legs with it. He wiped his hands with a napkin before seriously replying to his phone: [Okay, I'll prepare breakfast for you tomorrow morning.]
An emoticon was sent over there, in which the fat little fox made an OK gesture with its paws.
Xuan Ming couldn't help laughing and asked again: [What are you doing?]
【I'm watching a variety show.】
What variety show?
【Brainless variety show.】
[Do you also watch things that don't require any thought? ]
After a delay of more than ten seconds, a scientific tip came through: "Excessive thinking will damage your brain, because it can only organize and store knowledge when it's completely relaxed. The brain operates similarly to a computer: the less external input, the fewer programs it executes, and thus the more efficient the file management system. Periodically clearing your mind—thinking nothing, doing nothing—is crucial for maintaining intelligence and creativity. If you don't want to become stupid, don't dwell on work all the time."
Xuan Ming pursed his lips and smiled to himself for a moment before replying, "Okay, I'll pay more attention to rest in the future."
Little Curly: [Ruzi is teachable#The little fox nods#]
Xuan Ming searched for a long time before finding an emoji of stroking a little fox's head and sent it over. After doing all this, he held his breath and waited for a few minutes. When he saw no more movement from the other end, he sighed and put down the phone.
After letting it go, he felt itchy again, opened the chat interface, read and commented on the few messages over and over again, and shook his head with a smile.
Lin Yayan and the system sitting opposite him were completely ignored.
"Why isn't he looking at me?" Lin Yayan asked through gritted teeth, "System, what is he doing?"
"There are no surveillance cameras here. What you saw is what I saw. He's obviously on his phone," the system said in frustration. "His favorability towards you is now -1099!"
"Fuck his grandma! Is Xuan Ming sick? When he likes someone, his favorability goes as high as 1099, and when he doesn't, it goes as low as -1099. Is he a psychopath?"
"There's something really wrong with him, but I can't detect it on the scan."
"System, are my 100,000 points just wasted?"
"That's the way it looks at the moment."
"I don't care, you are responsible for the system!"
"Or you can buy another item. I have a Heartthrob Halo here. Do you want it? 500,000 points..."
Xuan Ming was too lazy to listen to the conversation between the two people. He nodded to his family and said, "I'm done eating. Enjoy your meal." As soon as he finished speaking, he controlled the wheelchair to slide towards the elevator.
He was mesmerized by the props twice in a row, and although the time was only a dozen seconds, it was seen by Xuan's father, Xuan's mother and others. So one night later, the Xuan family suddenly announced that they would marry into the Lin family.
"Lin Yayan and I are engaged?" Xuan Ming held a huge food box on his knees with a gloomy expression.
"Yes, Mom can see that you like her very much. You were too reckless last night, staring at her so openly." Xuan's mother said with relief: "I always thought you would marry your work, but I didn't expect that one day you would also fall in love with a girl. It's really rare."
Xuan Ming's frown slowly relaxed, and he nodded, "Okay, get ready."
Xuan's mother quickly took out her phone and said excitedly, "I'll call your Aunt Lin to discuss this. Let me tell you in secret, Yayan has had a crush on you for years. She came to our house yesterday for a blind date with you. You two are destined to be together."
Xuan Ming curled his lips and smiled, but there was frost in his eyes.
Turning around, he removed Qiao Yanan's number from the blacklist, glanced at the messages she had sent in the past few days, and replied: "Let's talk about your matter later. I'm getting engaged soon and I'm very busy."
The best way to deal with these greedy hyenas is to let them kill each other.
