Chapter 92

Over there, Xie Yang shook her hands; this body's physical fitness was truly too poor. Just dragging and pulling a slender woman out the door like that had made her arms ache unbearably.

"System, I completed the task in the last plane quite well, right? Before it ended, I even saved a whole tram of people. How many points were awarded? After paying off my debts, is it enough to exchange for a Physical Enhancement Potion?"

Main System: 【...】

In the last plane, helping the Host open a purchasing channel limited to the 1960s plane had cost it quite a few of its private points. In the middle and later stages, the Host had used the Sub-system to achieve material freedom and basically stopped spending in the purchasing channel, leaving it with no opportunity to earn the price difference.

Even when the task ended and the Host deposited all her money as a tip for it, it couldn't make up for the private funds it had lost. Therefore, in this plane, it didn't really want to incite the Host to spend, spend, spend.

【Host, points are hard-earned. Are you sure you want to spend them on such a trivial matter?】

"How can this be considered a trivial matter?"

Xie Yang had originally prepared to block it and go to the bathroom for a soak, but hearing it say this, she felt it was necessary to have a chat with it.

So, she found the original owner's skincare bottles and jars, prepared a facial mask for herself, and while applying it, communicated with the Main System in her sea of consciousness:

"Don't look at how I gave Lu Ming a beautiful shoulder throw this afternoon; that was taking him by surprise, plus I used some clever leverage. If he had been on guard beforehand, with these thin arms and skinny legs of mine, I wouldn't be able to throw him."

Main System: 【But what does this have to do with the task? Host, you only need to find a way to make the male guest's Favorability Value for Xie Danni drop back to 0, and the Love Variety Show Strategy System will automatically unbind from its host. There is no need to shoulder-throw Lu Ming.】

"How does it not have anything to do with it? Do you know how troublesome the identity you arranged for this body is?

An illegitimate daughter! In ancient times, it might not have been much, but in modern society, once people hear 'illegitimate daughter'—and one born from her biological mother trying to climb the social ladder—who wouldn't give her a few eye-rolls?

Just eye-rolls would be fine, but what if I get blocked and cursed when I go out, or have rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs thrown at me? You tell me, what should I do? Can the task still be completed?"

【...】

The Main System frantically ran its CPU.

It sounded like there was indeed some logic to it.

"Right? Everything is for the sake of the task!"

Xie Yang sighed with deep emotion:

"To cooperate with you in reclaiming your descendants, I am willing to use the points I worked so hard to earn to arm myself, rather than spending them on ordinary pleasures. You don't need to save for me, really! As long as the task can be completed smoothly, what does spending a few points matter!"

【...】

The Main System knew the Host was gaslighting it, but it had no evidence.

After CPU processing and analysis, it couldn't find any loopholes in the Host's words.

After a moment of crashing, it finally logged into the System Mall to exchange for the physical fitness potion as the Host requested.

【The permanent S-ji Tinen Physical Enhancement Potion is not on sale right now and requires 9999 points. The temporary Physical Enhancement Potion only costs 99 points and can boost physical fitness to SSS-Grade after consumption, but the effective duration is only thirty days. Host, you choose...】

Xie Yang didn't even hesitate: "Of course I choose the permanent one! Cheap goods are no good, and good goods aren't cheap! You say the temporary version is only 99 points and can boost me to SSS-Grade? I don't think that's very reliable. Besides the short duration, there must be other hidden safety risks. Not considering it!"

【...】

The Main System silently looked at the Host's points column.

The last plane was indeed as the Host said; the task was completed very well, and she was awarded thirty thousand points.

But on the first day of transmigrating, she wanted to spend 9999. At the rate the Host spent money so lavishly, let alone thirty thousand, even three hundred thousand wouldn't last long!

But... how could it refuse?

After all, the points were indeed earned by the Host, and she was right; the physical fitness of this body was indeed a bit poor, and the difficulty of this task was indeed much harder than the last world. She wasn't spending points for enjoyment, but to cooperate with it to get the flawed Sub-system recycled and returned to the factory as soon as possible.

The Main System convinced itself without realizing it, and even felt a hint of being moved.

【Ding! Physical Enhancement Potion exchange successful.】

Xie Yang smiled from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you, Brother System! Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to cooperate with you to complete the task, so you can return to your world early."

Main System: 【...】

The Saint System wasn't wrong; the Host is indeed... surprisingly good.

Xie Yang drank the Physical Enhancement Potion in one gulp, then blocked the system and went into the bathroom for an aromatherapy essential oil bath to soothe her body, after which she slept until dawn and woke up feeling refreshed.

The original owner's skin was already fair, and after a good night's sleep and taking the physical fitness potion, when Xie Yang washed her face in front of the mirror, she was almost intoxicated herself.

Not just her face, her entire body's skin was as fair and delicate as mutton-fat jade, soft enough to be broken by a blow.

From the combination of facial features, this body didn't really fit the current aesthetic, but actually, looking at them separately—the brows, eyes, mouth, and nose—none of them were ugly.

In fact, with the bonus of her skin tone, she was quite pleasant to look at.

Conversely, Xie Danni, because all the male guests except Lu Ming had collectively dropped their Favorability Value last night, was so distressed she tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night. Her good complexion from the previous days was gone, and she had to apply several layers of foundation and concealer to cover the dark circles under her eyes.

When Liu Yang came to call her downstairs for breakfast, she was still very dissatisfied with her complexion after makeup, her face as dark as if ink were dripping from it.

"Danni, are you ready?"

Answering her was a "bang" of a door being slammed in her face.

The commotion was so loud that even Xie Yang, three rooms away, could hear it.

She raised an eyebrow; Xie Danni had quite a temper today. It seemed she hadn't earned much Resentment Value from her yesterday.

Then she could rest easy.

She continued to match her outfit for the day in front of the mirror.

The long dress she wore yesterday was ethereal, but it was inconvenient for movement. When riding a bicycle, the hem of the skirt had almost been caught in the wheels several times. Today, she specifically chose an outfit convenient for travel—a white T-shirt paired with denim hot pants and white sneakers.

She still tied her hair into a bun, chose a wide-brimmed sun hat that left the top of her head exposed, put on sunglasses, and done!

She went downstairs looking fresh and arrived at the Yangguang Canting.

She didn't arrive very early; the male guests had all arrived, and among the female guests, only Xie Danni and Liu Yang were missing.

"Good morning!"

Xie Yang entered the room and greeted everyone.

"Clatter—"

The chopsticks in Jiang Tuo's hand dropped.

After returning to his room last night, he received a call from his agent and only then learned that his fans and the "Alpaca" CP fans had been bickering in the live stream chat yesterday afternoon.

He also learned that he and Xie Yang had two CP titles: one was "Alpaca," and the other was "Imperial Sister & Little Wolf Dog," which made the roots of his ears burn uncontrollably.

Why did he feel a bit ashamed yet also a bit stirred?

So much so that after falling asleep last night, he actually dreamed of Xie Yang.

This was the first time in his life he had ever dreamed of a woman, and the dream was extremely beautiful and absurd... In short, it made him feel somewhat guilty seeing Xie Yang at this moment.

"You're here? Come and have breakfast quickly!"

He felt so guilty that he didn't even dare to look Xie Yang in the eye, and in his flustered state, he randomly found a topic:

"There's millet and pumpkin porridge, little bubble wontons, Sour Soup Rice Noodles, and also refreshing herbal dessert; what would you like to eat? I'll serve it for you."

As he spoke, he took a clean bowl to serve her.

Xie Yang paused in her steps, thinking to herself, could this kid really have developed those kinds of thoughts about her?

She hoped she was just overthinking it; otherwise, what a sin that would be.
