SFR: Chapter 10

The food at Linlan Garden was definitely worth its price. Xing Shi enjoyed it very much.

However, it was a fact that he hadn’t rested well for more than half a month. He endured the throbbing of his temples and said, “Don’t go crazy.”

The system immediately became mute.

Xing Shi put the phone back on the table and asked again, “Could Lin Kecheng be a host?”

The system returned to normal. “The systems can’t sense each other. I don’t know if he is one or not.”

Xing Shi thought that he could find an opportunity to test it.

The system held it in for a while but really couldn’t help it. “Don’t you have anything else to say?”

Xing Shi looked at Fu Xiuning opposite him.

The young chairman looked normal, as if he didn’t take this incident to heart.

This gentle, elegant, and aloof temperament really looked like the type that hated physical contact with people. How could points be added?

Should he not judge a book by its cover?

Xing Shi asked in his mind, “Is your favorability program broken?”

The system asked, “How is that possible?”

It thought about today’s fluctuations and became suspicious. It scanned it carefully before replying, “I checked, and it was fine~”

This meant that Fu Xiuning gave 1 point of favorability just because he held hands with the host!

Fu Xiuning gave the host 1 point when they first met. He just liked the host’s face. Its ID wasn’t wrong. A face con was the best. This big devil who ruined a group of hosts was indeed a face con!

Who would’ve thought this? If it said it in the group chat now, the other systems probably wouldn’t believe it!

It was so happy that it wanted to scream. But it was afraid of disturbing the host again, so it controlled its volume and analyzed, “Good-looking people tend to make people like them. Fu Xiuning is a pervert. He dislikes you after seeing that you are better looking than him, so he first added points but then deducted them when he saw you for the first time.”

“You haven’t seen each other in half a month, and the score is -8. It gradually decreased to -10 as you spent more time together. IT was -9 when you met again a few hours later,” it said. “Tonight, he should’ve reduced it back to -10, but touching can bring people closer together. You are also good-looking, so he added 1 point to you.”

It changed the subject. “This is just a general guess. I have another guess. Do you want to hear it?’

Xing Shi said, “I don’t want to.”

The system didn’t care. “I suspect that he actually fell in love with you at first sight, but he didn’t realize it. His first reaction when he fell in love wasn’t to get close to you but to feel disgust. He struggled and avoided you, not wanting to admit it. His favorability value kept jumping back and forth, so the sudden hand-holding would increase the points!”

Xing Shi didn’t refute it. He was also considering this possibility.

He thought that Fu Xiuning wouldn’t delay in thanking him, so the 1 point increase in the parking lot might be due to his face.

He might’ve lost his memory from before the transmigration, but he had never forgotten his appearance. The body in the magic world looked 70% like him, but he was still harassed by a group of people, not to mention the 100% now. In the past half a month, many people had asked for his WeChat.

His handsomeness was an objective fact.

Seeing that he was silent, the system said, “Think carefully. Is there anything wrong with what I said?”

Xing Shi replied sincerely, “No problem.”

The system was excited. “Then do you want to change it to a love line?”

“No.”

The system didn’t persuade him. Today, it proved again that the host’s face was a sharp weapon, and it felt at ease. It knew that sooner or later, it would live a life of dying down and counting money.

Fu Xiuning’s expression didn’t change.

Over the years, he had heard the host and the system cold him in person, angrily insult him, plot and set traps, maliciously speculate or have fantasies about him… everything. He was used to it and wouldn’t be affected at all.

It seemed that this also worked for Xing Shi at present.

After dinner, the two of them left Linlan Garden.

Xing Shi returned to the company to continue training and found that the practice room was very lively.

He raised an eyebrow. “The teacher has something to do, so he gave us a holiday?”

Everyone smiled and explained.

The reason was that everyone was a bit impatient, so the teachers suspended the classes and divided the dance groups first.

Their foundations were different. The teachers thought that the dance moves of the groups should increase from easy to difficult, so that the audience’s expectations would also be raised little by little. Then those with poor foundations would be divided into the group groups with simpler moves that were easier to control.

Xing Shi might be a novice, but he was talented and learned things quickly. In particular, he was a student of Z College and the protagonist of the show. Everyone unanimously decided to let him stand in the C position of the final group dance.

Xing Shi accepted it calmly.

In any case, it didn’t matter where he stood. He still had to do the same set of movements, so he was successfully lazy.

He found a place to lie down. Once they finished dividing the groups, he got up and practiced. He practiced until late at night. Then he followed the main group back to the apartment.

After washing up and lying on the bed, he ordered the system to give him Fu Xiuning’s information.

His consciousness sank into his mind, and he could see the interface called up by the system.

There were records of favorability and a store, which could be checked at any time. In addition, he could read the information quickly here. Half a month ago, he and the system read all the information about the original owner of his body.

The system now treated him as a treasure and said considerately, “Aren’t you tired/ There is no rush. Go to sleep first and talk about it tomorrow when you are free.”

Xing Shi refused.

He wouldn’t let his consciousness sink casually in an untrustworthy environment. At present, only the company’s dormitory and the school could let him relax his vigilance.

HE said, “Do it now.”

The system was moved by his ambition. “Okay, which part to read first?”

“His family.”

The system called up the corresponding content. Xing Shi received it quickly in the speed reading mood of his mind.

Fu Xiuning was the only son in the family. His parents had a harmonious relationship and a harmonious family atmosphere. The Fu family was powerful, but Fu Xiuning wasn’t arrogant. Instead, he was very polite and had been liked since he was a child.

Xing Shi said, “Did he have any accidents when he was a child? Like being kidnapped or something like that.”

The system retrieved information faster than him and replied, “No.”

Xing Shi asked for Fu Xiuning’s elementary school information and quickly went through it. He felt that it was very normal, without any signs of a bad personality. He did have a distant temperament. After all, he was too popular. It would be very distressing if he hadn’t learned to keep a distance.

He had a headache reading this. He said while relieving his discomfort, “Did he have a crush or early love in middle school or high school? Was there a period when his grades fluctuated significantly?”

The system replied, “No romance, but there were fluctuations in his grades.”

“When?”

“In high school, he missed the monthly exams due to illness and injury, ranking last. But every time he took the exam, he would rank in the top ten of the grade.”

Xing Shi went through the middle school information just in case. He found that it was still normal, so he went to look at the high school information.

There were no problems in the first semester of the first year of high school. It wasn’t until the second semester of the second year that the information suddenly increased.

He was maliciously hit in the leg during physical education class. The assailant felt guilty and insisted on personally taking care of him.

He was surrounded by people from other schools and was saved by a boy in his class. After he refused the other person’s proposal to become friends, the whole class knew about his ruthlessness.

He passed by the stairs and was pushed down by a mentally ill girl… One after another, records occupied the entire second semester.

He transferred to another school in his second year of high school and had a peaceful life. Then he soon started to encounter various incidents. For this reason, he hired a private coach every holiday and trained in fighting. Gradually, the number of injuries decreased.

Xing Shi asked for the college information and continued to read it. He saw the latest incident: Shao Jianbai’s assassination.

The previous one was that a radical girl chased him outside the school and got entangled with him. They both encountered a car accident, and the girl fell into a coma.

This information was based on Fu Xiuning’s perspective, and life was simply summarized in words. It was impossible to see the thoughts of the other person during this incident, but Xing Shi had a guess.

He asked, “System, when did this capture mission start?”

The system answered, “Five years ago.”

Xing Shi was silent.

Fu Xiuning was now a junior. Five years ago was… the second semester of high school.

He asked after a few seconds, “You said that he is antisocial?”

“Yes.”

Xing Shi directly pulled the data to the first semester of his first year of high school. “Where is the antisocial point?”

The system explained, “The main system predicted that he would become antisocial in the future, so it wanted to intervene in his teenage years.”

Xing Shi laughed sarcastically. “Is it possible that the main system’s prediction is also on the fate line, and it is your intervention that caused him to become antisocial?”

The system sighed. “I had a look at Fu Xiuning’s data before I came here. I had this idea at the time, but things have reached this point., We can only try to save him.”

Xing Shi thought to himself that this didn’t feel like saving. It was more like hunting.

But forget it. It didn’t matter whether this reason was true or not. He would still dismantle the system.

This time, it wasn’t a question of calling him father. Fu Xiuning would have to call him his real father.

His consciousness detached from his mind, and he said insincerely, “Okay, jiayou.”

The next day was the weekend. Xing Shi’s school was on vacation, but the company wasn’t.

The training intensity of trainees was high, and there were few holidays. Day students like Xing Shi must train at the company on Saturdays and Sundays.

Full-time trainees occasionally had a day off, but not many people really rested. It was because everyone wanted to debut and was training hard.

Xing Shi stayed at the company for two days. On Sunday night, his brothers treated him to a meal.

After that, it was another day of classes and training. This was until Friday when he met Fu Xiuning at school.

Fu Xiuning drove by, saw him, and stopped. He asked, “Where are you going?”

Xing Shi replied, “The South Gate.”

Fu Xiuning motioned for him to get in the car and continued driving forward, “Why are you going there?”

Xing Shi explained, “Meeting Senior Lin.”

Fu Xiuning thought he was getting takeout again. Now he heard this and looked at the other person. “Didn’t I tell you to have less contact with him?”

Xing Shi said, “He insisted on treating me. He said he would feel bad if he didn’t treat me, so I agreed. We will just have a meal and won’t talk too much.”

Fu Xiuning knew that he was smart, so he nodded.

The system waited expectantly for a while before asking, “Why didn’t the favorability value change? What you are wearing today doesn’t look good?”

Xing Shi answered, “This means his normal value towards me is -8.”

The system thought for a moment before saying, “That’s right. After all, it is okay to love someone without knowing it. Once you get over this hurdle, everything will be fine.”

Xing Shi skipped the topic and ordered, “Help me find some information. I plan to test Lin Kecheng.”

Fu Xiuning: “?”

Was this what he meant by not chatting too much?”

The two of them weren’t far from the South Gate when they met. It only took a few words before they reached their destination.

Lin Kecheng had arrived not long ago. He failed to make an appointment with Fu Xiuning, so he planned to get along with Xing Shi first.

Who knew that he would be lucky enough that Xing Shi was sent here by Fu Xiuning?

He immediately smiled and went forward to chat a bit. It would be best if Fu Xiuning could go to eat with them.

Then the next moment, a notification sound rang in his mind.

[Ding.]

[Currently favorability value: -5.]

Lin Kecheng: “!!!”

His system: “!!!”

It took them half a year to finally gain 1 point. Then in one day, they went back to the previous situation.

One person and one system instantly had their defenses broken. “Why?!”
