"Host, please be more confident and remove the questioning tone. You are so capable, don't you deserve their love?" Thirty-five's tone was very excited.
In its opinion, it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole world likes Yan Muhuai.
But Yan Muhuai himself did not have this confidence. After all, when he was in another world, he was a ghost cultivator who was hated by everyone in the righteous way. Except for his little disciple, no one liked him.
Now that he's back, he does everything to gain merit points in exchange for longevity, and doesn't care what others think of him.
"So how many people truly love me now? Do you have statistics?" Yan Muhuai asked.
There are so many people watching the live broadcast, and if one in ten of them becomes his fans, that is also a considerable number, which is no less than what he would gain from gaining favorability from Rong Jin.
But Thirty-five whispered, "Yes, there are fifteen."
Yan Muhuai: “…”
Thirty-five consoled him, "Don't be discouraged, host. This is just the beginning. It's normal that there aren't many people. Besides, these fifteen people like you from the bottom of their hearts. They are the kind of die-hard fans who will firmly like you as long as you don't break the law!"
"Then I'm truly honored." Yan Muhuai said lacking interest.
After hearing the series of prompt sounds, he thought he would get a lot of merit points, but it turned out that if he had summoned Thirty-Five a little later, it would have stopped on its own.
It's only fifteen merit points, but the reminder sound has to be broadcast again and again, and it's not tiring at all.
"Even a mosquito leg is meat. Think about it, my host. One loyal fan is one merit point. Once you become famous, having millions of fans will be no problem. You don't even have to do strategy tasks or help wronged souls fulfill their wishes. As long as you become a household name, you will have endless merit points and you won't be able to die even if you want to!" Thirty-five cheered for Yan Muhuai.
Yan Muhuai questioned, "Before your previous host bonded with you, wasn't he a pyramid scheme leader? He didn't teach you anything useful, but you've mastered the art of making empty promises."
Thirty-five could tell Yan Muhuai was mocking it, but didn't care at all. He said naively, "I'm a new system that just took over. I don't know anything. Naturally, I will become like the host I follow. But now that I follow you, my host, I should become smarter soon."
Now that everyone has finished their mission and is ready to eat, Yan Muhuai stopped talking to the blindly optimistic Thirty-Five.
Everyone set up a large round table in the yard, and Jiang Li and Yan Muhuai served their masterpieces that they had created this morning.
Because food couldn't be wasted, Jiang Li only made five dishes and didn't make more. He was afraid that if he made too much, everyone would eat the dishes he made and waste Yan Muhuai's five cold dishes.
Seeing the two distinct styles of dishes on the table, the eight of them were silent for a moment.
Yan Xunyi was the first to speak. "I've been to Jiang Li's house as a guest and I know he's a great cook. So, you made these five dishes, right?"
All the dishes on the table were presented in front of the camera. Yan Xunyi quickly ordered out the five dishes made by Jiang Li, and the remaining five cold dishes that looked not very tasty.
Yan Xunyi said this with the intention of drawing everyone's attention to the dishes made by Yan Muhuai. With the camera in front of him, he couldn't directly complain about Yan Muhuai's poor cooking skills, so he wanted to say it through other people's mouths.
Jin Yu took over and asked, "So, Brother Yi, you and Brother Jiang have known each other for a long time? You even went to his house for dinner, so you must have a good relationship, right? But it seems like you haven't spoken to each other since last night."
Jin Yu calls Yan Muhuai "Brother Yan", but because Yan Xunyi also has the surname Yan and his status is higher than hers, in order to distinguish them, she can only call him "Brother Yi".
However, this kind of address inadvertently touched upon Yan Xunyi's minefield.
He didn't even bother to answer Jin Yu's question. He started by correcting her address. "Jin Yu, my last name is Yan too. If you want to differentiate between me and Mu Huai, I'm a little older than him, so you can call me Big Brother Yan."
After saying this, he didn't forget to mention Yan Muhuai, "Muhuai shouldn't mind Jin Yu calling him that, right?"
Yan Muhuai didn't want to pay any attention to Yan Xunyi, but this person insisted on dancing in front of him, "Jin Yu, just call me Brother Huai. I don't care about last names as much as Yan Xunyi does."
To others, this sentence might sound like a bit of a mockery, but Yan Xunyi himself knew that Yan Muhuai was reminding him that he was a fake young master of the Yan family.
Yan Xunyi almost got angry, but he finally controlled himself due to the environment. However, he didn't dare to pick a fight with Yan Muhuai again.
Thirty-five asked with some confusion, "How come this idiot's fighting ability becomes so weak after meeting you?"
"Hmm? So he used to be very powerful in combat?" Yan Muhuai started chatting with Thirty-Five while concentrating on eating.
Thirty-five pondered for a moment, "That's not the case. It's just that the previous host was useless and could never defeat him. Now it seems the situation is reversed. This idiot can never defeat you, yet he still wants to provoke you. It's kind of funny."
"It's true. He doesn't learn from his mistakes." Yan Muhuai commented.
Thirty-five asked, "Then why are you still giving him a chance, Master Host? Wouldn't it be better to just deal with it once and for all?"
When it followed its previous host, it often saw its host being bullied in front of Yan Xunyi. Now it hopes that Yan Muhuai will deal with this idiot.
Yan Muhuai knew what Thirty-Five was thinking without even thinking. He didn't argue with the idiotic system, but patiently explained, "Although he forced me into this variety show out of calculation, I did benefit from it. Furthermore, I now have a true fan who can give me merit points. The cause and effect relationship between them means I can't repay kindness with enmity at this moment, otherwise the main program you mentioned might deduct my merit points."
Even without practice, Yan Muhuai has almost figured out the reward and punishment system of the main program system. If he does something that can directly harm Yan Xunyi while recording a variety show, he will most likely suffer retribution.
His family background is still too limited, so he cannot act as he pleases.
After dinner, the director organized a tea party for everyone. To put it bluntly, it was a whitewashing segment that is essential for variety shows. By asking each other questions, they let each other clarify some of their previous controversial things through the camera.
They changed to another table, and the waiter from Shaoyaoju made them some scented tea, and the tea party began.
The first person to ask a question was Jin Yu. She asked again the question that she had asked at the dinner table but had not received an answer.
She just wanted to know, since Yan Xunyi and Jiang Li had such a good relationship, why didn't they have any interaction at all.
If someone else asked this question, it would be obvious that they were deliberately trying to stir up trouble, but Jin Yu didn't have that intention when she asked it. Her clear big eyes were full of pure curiosity, which made it impossible to misunderstand.
Yan Xunyi didn't know how to answer this question, so he glanced at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li tactfully took the initiative to say, "Not long ago, Brother Yan went to Miancheng and happened to save my mother. When he sent my mother home, I invited him to have a meal."
His words only mentioned gratitude and not friendship, which was also the answer Yan Xunyi wanted.
