Chapter 136 Canary Play
[Ding, quest triggered: The difference in status and the gap in thinking prevent the female protagonist Wen Yao from being equal to Fu Jinzhi, even though they love each other.]
Please attend this high-society dinner party alongside the male protagonist, posing as a kept woman. Completing the task will reward you with Luck Points.
[Note: Rewards for this task are based on completion rate.]
[Judgment Criterion 1: Because she is not qualified to socialize with the male lead, she stays alone in a corner of the banquet hall.]
Criterion 2: The innocent girl who has been bullied (whether she has been mocked or teased).
Criterion Three: The damsel in distress is rescued by the male protagonist.
Wen Yao solemnly said, "8848, this world really needs a new ruler."
This task is absolutely laughable.
Let's not even complain about this old-fashioned canary literature.
Is it really reliable to force a concept of world consciousness like this?
It's one thing to give her the lead role, but there's no huge difference in status between her and Fu Jinzhi!
The canary is even more ridiculous. Even if we take a step back, she is still Fu Jinzhi's legal spouse.
8848 felt that becoming the Heavenly Dao was just around the corner; its mechanical voice drifted out, revealing a hint of joy.
[The World Consciousness faction has finally decided to offer something substantial; this reward is worth the gamble.]
"Heh, when have I ever missed a chance to give it my all?" Wen Yao secretly rolled her eyes. "What's wrong with the reward this time?"
8848: [It's a luck value! It's equivalent to the authority of world consciousness.]
Previously, we relied on plot deviations to plunder, but now completing missions will grant us at least 1/10 of the Luck Points.
Wen Yao frowned, recalling the mission prompts, interrupting 8848's daydreaming.
Wen Yao: "I need to complete all three Canary storylines to get all the Luck Points in the mission rewards, but so far, I can only complete mission one."
Aside from being alone in a corner of the banquet hall to complete the task, the remaining two tasks are essentially one; Wen Yao must endure bullying in order to be rescued by a hero.
So here's the question: at a banquet in an unfamiliar country like F, who would be so crazy as to bully Wen Yao?
8848's mind cooled slightly, but it remained full of hope, and it happily said:
[Host, you must believe in your own abilities.]
Don't you realize how much hatred you provoke? Just standing there is like giving the middle finger to God.
8848's tone grew increasingly certain as he spoke, "If you go to the banquet hall, there will definitely be people who don't like you!"
[Host, don't underestimate yourself!]
Wen Yao: "..."
Haha, non-human aesthetics are just abnormal. She is clearly a stunning beauty loved by everyone, what nonsense about "raising the middle finger to the sky"!
Is there a report button? This kind of personal attack by 8848 is unacceptable to such a fragile and sensitive young girl!
Upon hearing Wen Yao's thoughts, 8848 fell silent. The host had indeed lost a proper understanding of himself.
Fu Jinzhi was thinking about how to persuade Wen Yao to go to F country with him when Wen Yao suddenly looked up and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
A look of surprise flashed across Fu Jinzhi's handsome face: "Didn't Yaoyao find it boring?"
This kind of occasion was indeed boring, and even though Fu Jinzhi really wanted Wen Yao to go with him, he couldn't lie and say it was interesting.
Wen Yao's eyes flickered, feeling extremely embarrassed, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Life is boring and dull, and fun comes from humans."
Wen Yao: "I've decided to attend this banquet as your kept mistress and use role-playing to impress the celebrities."
Even though Fu Jinzhi was very familiar with Wen Yao's unconventional way of thinking, he was still shocked at this moment.
Fu Jinzhi: "Yaoyao?"
He put down his cutlery and walked to Wen Yao's side, reaching out to feel her forehead; her temperature was normal.
Fu Jinzhi withdrew his hand and shook it twice. This was impossible. His hand must be too cold. Wen Yao definitely had a fever!
Wen Yao was so flustered by Fu Jinzhi's actions that she almost lost control of her expression. She felt that she was the busiest person in the circus, the wildest person in Gotham City, the one standing guard in front of McDonald's, and the king and queen in a deck of cards.
She truly deserves the title of clown!
Wen Yao forced a smile and pushed Fu Jinzhi away slightly. "Don't you think this is funny?"
"8848, what will happen to the world consciousness after you take over? I want it dead! Damn it!" Wen Yao cried out inwardly.
8848: [Will be recalled by headquarters, undergo a moral reshaping process, and then reassigned based on performance.]
Wen Yao's anger dissipated somewhat. Aren't these just labor camp inmates? This is what the world deserves!
8848 remains silent. If thinking like this makes the host happier, then he must be a convict in a labor camp.
Fu Jinzhi was silent for a moment, then said honestly, "It seems more sick than funny. We are a legally married couple, so why should we engage in dirty money transactions?"
"Of course, this is for our lifelong happiness." Wen Yao's almond-shaped eyes widened, trying her best to show her sincerity.
"Do you know why couples experience the seven-year itch? It's because they become too familiar with each other. Holding hands becomes like holding your own left hand with your right, and the passion fades."
"If you want a relationship to last, you need to keep it exciting and engaging, understand?"
Wen Yao was surprised to find herself getting more and more fluent as she spoke, almost convincing herself. She tried her best to persuade her: "Don't you like canary play?"
Fu Jinzhi sat down next to Wen Yao, her eyelashes lowered. "I can't say I don't like her, I just don't feel anything for her."
Fu Jinzhi: "Perhaps I won't fall for that?"
There are many people in the circle who keep mistresses, and he never thought that this kind of money-for-sex transaction was meaningful.
For Fu Jinzhi, it was more interesting to play tricks on his business rivals. He always believed that unequal relationships could not foster positive emotions.
Wen Yao rolled her eyes, took Fu Jinzhi's arm, and leaned against his chest like a little bird.
Wen Yao looked up at Fu Jinzhi, her expression shy and her voice sweet as honey: "Mr. Fu, can you take me with you to the banquet in F country?"
"Yaoyao, I don't want to be separated from you."
Wen Yao's eyes flickered with a mixture of insecurity and anticipation. "I... I promise I will behave myself and never cause you any trouble."
Since they met, Fu Jinzhi had never received such treatment; he had always been the one to humbly submit.
Wen Yao was sometimes like a nimble wild dog, sometimes like a mad monkey, and sometimes like a proud king... manipulating him at will.
Now that Wen Yao was acting coquettishly in his arms, Fu Jinzhi froze, his gaze fixed, and he was held captive for half a minute.
Just as she was feeling somewhat infatuated, Wen Yao suddenly sat up straight from his embrace, her face full of a malicious smile.
Wen Yao proudly wagged her tail, her eyes sparkling, and said in a high-pitched tone, "Tsk tsk, you say one thing but do another, I think you're quite susceptible to this!"
In an instant, Fu Jinzhi felt as if he were being burned by a blazing flame, the heat spreading from the tips of his ears all the way to his chest.
Wen Yao couldn't help but glance at Jinzhi a couple more times. Jinzhi was really thin-skinned; he blushed even on his neck and collarbone after being teased a few times. She wondered if his pectoral muscles had also turned red...
