Lin Ke and the system were once again defeated.
The system even wanted to report to the main system and apply to install an anti-fraud system.
They never doubted Xing Shi’s words.
It was because Xing Shi had saved Fu Xiuning not long ago, and he had such a dazzling appearance. Even when they had a meal together, Fu Xiuning personally sent him to the school gate. Who would’ve thought he would be -8?!
Lin Kecheng closed the picture and reopened it. It was still -8.
Logically, he should be happy that his competitor’s score was lower than his, but his expectations were raised too high. Therefore, it was too stimulating.
He asked the system, “Are you sure this isn’t photoshopped?”
The system said, “Yes.”
Lin Kecheng wondered, “He transmigrated from another world. Will the bound system be special?”
This was the first time the system was questioned by him in terms of performance. It was sad. “The systems used by the hosts are the same. They are all set by the main system and the sharing program is also set by the main system. It can’t be faked.”
At this time, the waiter brought the food.
Seeing that Lin Kecheng still had his eyes closed, Xing Shi picked up the chopsticks and started eating first.
He didn’t let his consciousness sink. Instead, he learned from the system about Lin Ke’s score and said, “It is the initial value.”
The system said, “Fu Xiuning’s favorability value fluctuates very slowly. It is only high in front of you.”
It chuckled. “His system was so boastful in the group. I thought it would be at least -4, but it is just like this?”
Xing Shi listened to the contemptuous tone and reminded, “You are now -8.”
The system said kindly, “You are different.”
Xing Shi had been paying attention to it since the alliance was completed. He also thought of rhetoric. If it asked, it had nothing to do with him, and he didn’t know. If it had the ability then figure out the energy flow by itself.
Fortunately, after a few words, he estimated that it shouldn’t have noticed his little action.
He happily took a bite of the food and asked, “What group?”
“The system communication group.”
After replying to this sentence, Lin Kecheng on the opposite side also had wide eyes.
It briefly described the cause and effect. Then it asked the host’s opinion and opened the group chat.
The usually dead group was particularly lively today.
Lin Kecheng’s system self-destructed and told other systems that a strong competitor had arrived. Even if they didn’t join forces, the opponent’s host would become a public enemy in the future.
Then when it heard that Xing Shi wanted to form an alliance, it regretted it and hurriedly sent another message to make amends.
Fed By Heaven: [Forget it, I made a mistake. Let it go.]
The group was silent for a few seconds before the screen refreshed again.
Coming From Behind: [Family members, do you believe it?]
You Are All Concubines: [No.]
Congratulations On Becoming Rich: [No.]
Best Fortune: [I suspect an alliance.]
You Are All Concubines: [@Long Live Face Con What’s wrong with you? I called you for a long time, but you didn’t say anything.]
Coming From Behind: [Show your favorability value. It is only by showing it that we can know if you really made a mistake or not.]
Best Fortune: [@Long Live Face Con]
System 99 clicked into the group and saw these messages. It had already asked the host for permission, so now it shared its favorability value with the group.
The systems opened it and saw the -8.
A series of ellipses filled the screen. Then they started to care about the party involved.
Coming From Behind: [Brother, what did you do?]
Best Fortune: [What did your host do?]
Long Live Face Con: [Alas, I really don’t want to talk. Don’t @ me.]
You Are All Concubines: [@Fed By Heaven]
Fed By Heaven: [Sorry.]
Long Live Face Con: [it’s okay. It isn’t your fault [crying].]
Fed By Heaven: “……”
Of course, it wasn’t its fault. It was the host who started it first!
He rushed up without any warning and misled people with his words.
He deserved to be -8!
The two systems put an end to this matter, closed the group, and listened to the host’s conversation.
Xing Shi was explaining the score. “I’m too stupid. I have to find a teammate to guide me.”
He stretched out his hand to make the gesture of a small crack and said in embarrassment, “In order to make you agree, I exaggerated it a bit.”
The person and system on the other side: “……”
Was this what he meant by a ‘little bit’?
Lin Kecheng looked at Xing Shi.
This kid looked innocent. Lin Kecheng thought he was just a naive person but ended up being fooled.
He felt uneasy and asked the system whether the hosts who came from another world had traveled through several worlds. He felt relieved when he got the answer, ‘they only transmigrated to this one.’
He said, “I’m afraid I can’t take care of someone like you.”
Xing Shi smiled. “You can. Look at my appearance. Fu Xiuning won’t scold me even if he is annoyed. He will train me well.”
Lin Kecheng felt sour and asked the system again, “Can the hosts who travel to another world choose anybody they want?”
The system: “……”
Its host wasn’t like this before. He felt that he was superior to others and better than everyone else.
Now he kept saying ‘traveled from another world’, and his mentality was really broken.
It coaxed him. “It is random. Since the main system chose you, it means that your potential is unlimited and even higher than theirs. What is the use of him looking good? He is -8.”
Lin Kecheng felt a bit relieved. He adjusted his mood to focus on the present.”
He asked, “How did you lose these points?”
Xing Shi replied, “I sang a song for Fu Xiuning.”
Lin Kecheng and the system: “?”
Was he trying to fool them?”
Lin Kecheng said, “Junior Brother, you have to be honest now that we have formed an alliance.”
“It is real. He was there on the day when trainees were divided into classes. He deducted the points after I sang. How about I sing it for you again after the meal?”
Lin Kecheng didn’t believe such a ridiculous reason. He nodded to agree before asking, “You saved him. Didn’t he give you any extra points?”
“No.”
Lin Kecheng frowned. This meant that it would’ve been useless even if he blocked the knife for Fu Xiuning that day. This was really difficult.
Xing Shi wondered, “Senior, how long have you been here? Why is it still the initial value?”
Lin Kecheng said that he had a point deducted recently, but he didn’t say why. He just said that he didn’t know what was going on.
Xing Shi said, “Is that so?”
His system commented, “An increase of 1 point in half a year is really fast. No wonder why his system is crazy.”
Xing Shi relayed the first sentence to Lin Kecheng and praised him. “Senior is really amazing. I didn’t pick the wrong person.”
Lin Ke’s confidence, which had been hit several times, suddenly returned a bit.
Xing Shi had to train in the evening. The two of them finished their meal before class started.
Lin Kecheng had to ask him to do something, so he bought a few small cakes after seeing Xing Shi staring at the dessert store.
Xing Shi smiled and thanked him. He returned the favor by singing a song for the other person. He didn’t use the trained pitch that already showed initial success, but the original version from that day.
Lin Kecheng and the system were so confused by it that they almost lost their souls. They walked away with looks of doubts on their faces.
Then Xing Shi strolled back to the company.
The moment he reached the third floor, the sound of the elevator doors opening came from behind him.
Then the system said, “Fu Xiuning is behind you.”
Xing Shi turned around and shouted, “Boss.”
Fu Xiuning knew that the trainees’ classes were scheduled for this time.
He had thought of an excuse in order to see the preparations for the school’s anniversary program. However, he happened to meet Xing Shi as soon as they got out of the elevator.
He asked, “You just got back?”
Xing Shi hummed and raised the bag in his hand. “Senior Lin bought this. Do you want to eat it?”
Fu Xiuning glanced at it. “So many?”
Xing Shi said, “Maybe he wants to bribe me.”
Fu Xiuning took the bag and asked casually, “What is he bribing you for?”
He answered, “He is considering entering the entertainment industry and becoming an artist.”
Fu Xiuning picked up a cake, looked at it and put it back while saying ‘hmm’ casually.
Lin Kecheng and the system talked about this in the car because they thought it was too slow to join the company after graduation.
However, they thought too much. Fu Xiuning didn’t think highly of Lin Kecheng’s level one planning skill. People in his planning department all started with over two years of work experience. Lin Kecheng’s ability was average and he only knew how to make trouble. There was no way Lin Kecheng could join his company.
However, he could consider it if Lin Kecheng became an artist.
The system was confused. “You are just saying it directly? Aren’t you going to beat around the bush?”
Xing Shi told it, “It makes no difference. If Fu Xiuning doesn’t want him then it is useless for me to beat around the bush.”
He smiled and said, “Besides, I have to maintain my image. Lin Kecheng thinks I am stupid and easy to use. This way, he will continue to ally with me after a week.”
The system really didn’t understand. “Why do you want to ally with him? Is there anything you need him for?”
“If I tell you, you will definitely think I am lying to you.”
“You speak first.”
Xing Shi sighed softly. “It is because I am lonely. I have no relatives in this strange world. I will feel better if there is someone who stands with me through the hard times.”
The system: “……”
Fu Xiuning: “……”
The system was silent for five seconds. “Are you lying to me?”
“No.”
“I don’t believe it. If it is true, why did you create such a silly and innocent character…?”
It said with a sense of professionalism, “Hey, do you think Fu Xiuning would like this type of character? He has been through so many things. Maybe he just likes someone simple. It might be useless for others to be simple, but it is different for you. You can try it.”
“No.”
The system advised him. “Try it.”
Xing Shi refused again. After he heard the system persuade him again, he said for the sake of his good mood today, “Okay.”
He looked at Fu Xiuning harmlessly. “Boss, have you finished choosing?”
Fu Xiuning inwardly sneered. He raised his head and looked over, remaining unmoved.
He saw the teacher coming out of the office, so he picked a flavor of dessert at random and returned the bag.
Xing Shi didn’t hear the notification sound and left with the desserts. “Are you going to give up?”
The system didn’t give up. “How can I do?”
“Then what do you want to do?”
The system pondered on it until he entered the practice room and suddenly said, “Didn’t someone buy cat ears for someone’s birthday a few days ago? It seems to be thrown here. Wear them and walk around in front of him. Remember to look pure.”
Xing Shi refused.
The system tried to persuade him a few times but it was useless. It felt wronged. “If you want to form an alliance, then form one. I won’t stop you and I won’t ask you any more questions. Can’t you just try it once for me?”
Xing Shi didn’t care about this matter. It just depended on whether he was willing or not. However, since the alliance was mentioned, he said, “Just this once.”
The system was excited. “Okay!”
Xing Shi found the cat ears in a corner, put them on his head and turned to go out.
Fu Xiuning happened to walk here after chatting with the teachers.
The two of them met at the door and their eyes collided directly.
[Ding.]
[Currently favorability value: -6.]
Xing Shi: “……”
The system: “!!!”
Fu Xiuning: “……”
