Chapter 120: Love Variety Show Strategy System (38)
【Host, the bond between the Love Variety Show Strategy System and its host is weak; it can be forcibly detached by exchanging points for a Prop. Do you wish to exchange?】
Xie Yang was soaking in the bathtub, lavender essential oil that soothes stress and aids sleep dripped into the tub, and the fragrance of lavender instantly permeated the entire bathroom.
This essential oil was also a gift from Zhou Hanqing; this man must have seen her accept it once, and today, when she went upstairs, he stuffed another bottle into her hands.
Just like that, while she was soaking comfortably, she suddenly heard the ethereal electronic voice of the Main System.
She always blocked the system before entering the bathroom, but she didn't expect that she could still receive the system's notification broadcast after blocking it; it just sounded as if it were separated by several mountains, ethereal and hollow.
"It can be forcibly detached?"
Main System: 【Yes. If the Favorability Value of all the male guests being targeted is below 15%, you can borrow a Prop to forcibly detach it.】
Xie Yang perked up upon hearing this: "What Prop is needed? How many points does it cost to exchange?"
The Main System pulled up the System Mall.
The items in the Mall's Prop channel were truly dazzling, and the points required for different Props varied; the cheapest one was only 69 points, and the further one flipped, the more expensive they became.
The most expensive ones... Xie Yang flipped through several pages without seeing an end, so she stopped flipping.
Anyway, with her current points, everything after the third page was something she couldn't afford.
The Prop that could forcibly detach the Love Variety Show Strategy System was on the first page, but—
"Universal Emotion Extractor? 199 points to extract 1 Favorability Value? The unit price doesn't seem expensive." Xie Yang raised her delicate eyebrows, "How much Favorability Value do all the male guests Xie Danni is targeting have in total?"
【24】
【The Favorability Values of Jiang Tuo, Zhou Hanqing, and Lu Ming have all returned to zero; Fu Yichen's current Favorability Value is 14, and Xiao Chenglei's is 10.】
Upon hearing this, Xie Yang couldn't help but be curious: "How did Lu Ming's Favorability Value also return to zero? Wasn't he Xie Danni's only obedient follower a few days ago? It suddenly dropped to 0? What happened?"
The Main System indicated it did not know.
It only contacted the Sub-system after the Favorability Values of the guests targeted by the Sub-system collectively fell below 15%.
【Does the Host need System to check?】
Xie Yang twitched the corner of her mouth; she was no longer the naive her from the Tycoon Plane, knowing that asking the Main System to do things required deducting corresponding points.
Better forget it.
As long as the Task can be completed, the reason is not important.
She calculated her point inventory.
The reward points after completing the previous plane were spent by her to exchange for a permanently effective S-rank Physical Fitness Potion for 9999, and currently, there were points remaining.
If she exchanged for the Emotion Extractor, 24 Favorability Value would require deducting 4776 points.
Not bad! Within the acceptable range.
Besides, if she didn't spend these points, it was hard to say when this Task would be completed.
If Xie Danni used some method to raise the Favorability Value of the targets back up, then even if she were willing to spend points to forcibly detach it, there would be no chance.
Once this village is passed, there won't be this shop; Xie Yang still understood this logic.
Without any hesitation, Xie Yang decisively replied to the Main System: Exchange!
In an instant, 4776 was wiped from her point balance, and at the same time—
【Ding! The Love Variety Show Strategy System has been successfully detached from the original host.】
【Congratulations to the Host for successfully recovering the bug Sub-system of this plane! If you wish to experience it, please bind it in time.】
Xie Yang hurriedly chose "No."
A Golden Finger like the Love Variety Show Strategy System should be avoided; don't let it touch her!
【In view of the Host's spirit of dedication in being willing to exchange points for the Task, an additional special Prop is rewarded to the Host, which will be issued together with the Task reward later.】
【Due to the time difference between planes, the next Task world has not yet opened; please wait patiently, Host.】
Several consecutive electronic broadcast sounds rang through Xie Yang's consciousness.
These points were spent quite worthily!
Not only did she successfully recover the bug Sub-system, but she also obtained an extra special Prop.
The starting price for items on the special Prop page was 5000 points; looking at it this way, she still earned it.
The Task for this world was completed, and the next Task hadn't started yet; wouldn't the following time be hers to play freely?
She would even laugh in her dreams tonight!
Unlike Xie Yang's refreshing and good mood of eating cold drinks in midsummer, Xie Danni felt absolutely terrible.
She failed to intercept Lu Ming's plummeting Favorability Value and was caught by Xiao Chenglei cursing Xie Yang; the Favorability Values of the two men continued to plummet, and suddenly, the incessant broadcast of the Strategy System came from her mind—
【Ding! Warning! Warning! Male lead number two's Favorability Value has returned to zero! Male lead number two's Favorability Value has returned to zero!】
【Ding! Male lead number five's Favorability Value has fallen below 15; limit-down warning! Limit-down warning!】
【Ding! System energy is severely insufficient; unable to continue binding to the host, goodbye!】
With the final "Ding," there was no more noisy sound in Xie Danni's mind.
She stood blankly on the spot.
Even though Lu Ming and Xiao Chenglei and the others had already walked far away, she had no heart to chase them.
After being dazed for a long while, she called out with her thoughts: System? System, are you still there?
There was no response.
Her mind was as quiet as it was before the binding.
The Love Strategy System had clearly, as it said—unbound from her due to insufficient energy.
Her body went limp, and she collapsed onto the lawn.
How could this happen...
After she bound the Strategy System, she once thought she was the protagonist of this world, a winner in life who was the center of attention.
She never thought that one day, the System would leave.
Just as it had arrived suddenly, its departure was just as abrupt, catching her off guard.
What should she do now?
Without the Strategy System, she could no longer redeem the Props she wanted.
Even the ones she already possessed were gradually disappearing along with the stripping away of the system...
"No—" she clutched her head, hysterical, "It's already mine, you aren't allowed to leave! You aren't allowed to leave!"
"What's wrong with Sister Danni?"
Chen Anqi, who was on the balcony talking to her manager on the phone, heard Xie Danni's voice and leaned out to look down.
"How have things been with you and Xie Danni lately?" the manager asked on the other end of the line.
"Lately... she has some hostility toward me. Perhaps she has noticed my feelings for Brother Lu."
"You should also try to conceal it a bit; don't go too far. Her fan base is not small, and although most of it was bought with money, she is the eldest daughter of the Xie Group—rich and willful. If she can spend money once, she can spend it twice or three times."
Chen Anqi pursed her lips.
"By the way, Xie Yang's popularity is very high lately; take any opportunity to ride her coattails."
Mentioning Xie Yang, a smile spilled into Chen Anqi's eyes: "Sister Xie doesn't even realize how high her own popularity is; she seems to rarely go online. Besides, after finishing the recording of this show, she is going to play beach volleyball. We will be in two different circles in the future, so for these last few days, I think it's better to just let things take their natural course."
Her manager asked in surprise: "Did she really get into the National Beach Volleyball Team? Is the news reliable?"
"Could it be fake when I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears? The National Team is already processing the paperwork; it will be announced once it's finished. We should just keep it to ourselves for now."
The person on the other end sighed: "Then she is truly lucky."
Chen Anqi had watched Xie Yang play a friendly match up close today and disagreed with her manager's words: "Isn't it rather the National Team that is lucky? To have unearthed such a talented beach volleyball prospect."
"Then you should spend more time with her—not to ride her coattails, but just to be friends. Getting to know a friend who can compete in the Olympics is quite remarkable."
"You don't need to tell me that! I even have her signed photo!"
"..."
Look at you showing off!
The next second: "Um, when you have time, help me get one too."
"..."
