Chapter 64

Unfortunately, the soldiers summoned by the system cannot count toward the mission; otherwise this would already be 1/10 complete, but with this super second-tier troop summon token, upon reaching Leizhou we at least have sufficient troops.

Afterwards, Shen Tianxing checked the character attribute list again and discovered that a pet and an enhancement had been added.

"Does this 30% increase to all attributes refer to my own Martial Dao Realm attribute increase, or does it include equipment?"

Shen Tianxing asked Hong Yi, and Hong Yi's voice sounded somewhat languid, as if she were about to undergo an upgrade.

"Of course it's your own Martial Dao Realm attribute, and after this upgrade, the character panel will also show the attribute increase of your own Martial Dao Realm attribute through the all-attribute enhancement."

After a moment, once the system enters the upgrade, I will fall into a slumber; for seven days only the lottery function remains, while other functions are temporarily unavailable.

"Also, next time you summon me, you can let me change my appearance, or keep it as is; thereafter, each system upgrade will allow a choice."

"I'll just keep my original appearance; I'm someone who likes to see things through to the end."

"Alright, you still have a High-Grade Guard Summon Token; what kind of beautiful woman can't you summon? But beautiful women are never easy to win over."

"Anyway, the upgrade is coming soon, so let me tell you: after the system upgrade, a subsidiary Red Beauty System will be added; as long as you can make the women summoned by the system reach 100% favorability toward you, converting it into liking, you can activate it!"

"Once this subsidiary system is activated, even the women you currently possess who are not summoned by the system can serve as bound figures for the Red Beauty System; as for the rest, I'll tell you after you win Zhao Lingfei and activate the Red Beauty System."

After hearing Hong Yi's words, Shen Tianxing roughly understood what the surprise he mentioned earlier meant; it was to activate the subsidiary system, which is essentially adding a more comprehensive system function.

Thinking of this, Shen Tianxing checked Zhao Lingfei's favorability toward him, and for a moment he was speechless; loyalty is currently 100%, but favorability is only 10%.

On the other hand, glancing at Tian Guangguang and Qiao Yinxiang left Shen Tianxing astonished; their loyalty is 100%, yet their favorability is surprisingly 80%—surely these two won't have homosexual feelings toward him, right?

"Do you think you summoned Dongfang Bubai and still expect homosexual affection? This is an inherent trait of all male guards summoned by the system; unless you do something that makes them dislike you and lowers their favorability, their favorability will always be 80%."

"Even if you raise their favorability to 100%, they won't fall for you; at most it becomes Righteousness Value, treating you as a brother, and if Righteousness Value is also maxed out, it becomes Affinity Value."

Hong Yi explained languidly in two sentences, and Shen Tianxing finally let out a heavy sigh of relief; even knowing the guards could not do anything to him, if they truly harbored homosexual feelings toward him, it would be disgusting.

"By the way, there's still a bug to fix; previously, because your strength wasn't enough, this bug remained unfixed, but your strength is now stable enough."

"It concerns the special items Lei Bi and Ying Hua Zi, which increase attributes by 100%; previously, the doubling effect counted all your attributes, including added ones."

"In reality, it can only boost the attributes derived from your own Martial Dao Realm. After the system fixes this bug, using these special items that enhance attributes by 100% will only increase your own attributes by 100%."

Hong Yi then suddenly added this, leaving Shen Tianxing both laughing and crying; he had actually noticed this earlier, but since he didn't mention it and the system gave no prompt, they just let it pass.

"The item displays a 100% increase to base attributes, without including equipment or other attribute boosts; I thought it was a benefit, but it turned out to be a bug."

"A side quest has been triggered at the tavern ahead; please, host, rush over to accept it—anyway, just hurry there before the system upgrade."

After hearing Hong Yi's words, Shen Tianxing didn't waste time; he quickly left the inn and arrived at the tavern across the street.

The tavern has three floors total: the first floor is where ordinary commoners gather to drink a little liquor; the second floor houses some wealthy families; the third floor is for high-ranking officials and nobles.

Shen Tianxing's mission target is on the third floor; to go up, one must pay two taels of silver, otherwise they won't even be allowed on the stairs.

Shen Tianxing paid the silver and went up to the third floor; the system immediately locked onto the mission target—a young man seated at the left window table, fair-skinned and clean-cut, dressed in a white scholar's robe, holding a folding fan, watching the pedestrians coming and going downstairs.

"The system is quite capable; the side quest even gave me a stunning beauty disguised as a man, apparently a young lady from a noble family. I don't know why she didn't smear her face a bit or use her hair to cover it—those ear holes are clearly visible."

Shen Tianxing said this while talking to Hong Yi; sure enough, Hong Yi's exhausted voice came through again.

"Wouldn't this make it easier for you to deceive her? Of course, you don't have to deceive her; this is Yue Qingxue, the precious daughter of Yue Yunyang, whom Yang Tieqiang intended to introduce to you. She ran away from home to find Yang Hongyue."

Shen Tianxing was also somewhat surprised; it being Yue Qingxue was one thing, but she actually came to find Yang Hongyue—surely their sisterly bond is too deep?

"Brother, am I seeing things? How come there's a young lady dressed in men's clothes? She looks so good—why bother hiding herself?"

Shen Tianxing originally wondered what side quest the system would give, but instead he saw three wealthy young men approach beside Yue Qingxue, the leading plump one starting to tease her.

This also proves that in ancient times, a woman disguising as a man must first make herself look a bit ugly; otherwise, even a blind person with a fair complexion would notice.

Detected that the host's fiancée Yue Qingxue is being harassed by Wang Chuanzong, the son of the governor of Luoxia City, a side quest has been issued: kill Wang Chuanzong, the son of the governor, and rescue Yue Qingxue.

Completing the quest yields a reward of 10,000 Killing Value points, Yue Qingxue's favorability increases by 50%, 10 Heart Fireworks, Love Jade Pendants, and 100 taels of silver.
