Chapter 146: My IQ Is Being Rubbed on the Ground!
The player with the highest daily Favorability gain may set their own Date Schedule.
Today's top—player Su Yang.
The four watched the flashing big characters on the Screen, each with a different demeanor.
Undoubtedly, freely setting the schedule greatly benefits a player's ability to date.
Choosing the most confident date scenario greatly increases the chance of earning a high Performance Score.
But…
No one knows the date target's preferences and habits.
If mishandled, it will backfire.
"89 Favorability?!" Jiang Hua shouted, gathering attention, "Su Yang, what on earth did you do to the girls?"
Unsurprisingly, it's the same as the Performance Score—a perfect hundred.
At this level of Favorability, as long as nothing outrageous is involved, any request to a girl would be granted, right?
Huangfu Shu felt a sharp shock, his face sour, "Only 60 points for me?"
Another barely passing score.
In contrast, Su Yang has Dual High Favorability and Performance Score.
At this moment, he couldn't help doubting himself.
Did his ten years of picking up girls all go to waste?
Huangfu Shu's eyes flickered with a trace of jealousy.
Even though he was reluctant to admit it.
But…
Date ability is displayed with concrete numbers.
Data doesn't lie.
Strengths and weaknesses are evident at a glance.
"Congratulations." Tang Youning said.
Su Yang smiled and nodded in response.
In fact, he himself hadn't expected to achieve a 'Dual High' result.
He couldn't tell whether Xu Yutong's displayed Favorability was acting or genuine.
Moreover, the fireworks show left a star‑like Radiance in her eyes.
That sense of familiarity remains deeply etched to this day.
"I can't take it, I have to perform well tomorrow." Jiang Hua, looking dejected, immediately said with a grin.
"What good is performance? Do you know who you're dating tomorrow? Do you know the schedule?" Huangfu Shu, in a terrible mood, said with a scowl.
"You're funny when you speak; does that mean you don't have to perform well?" Jiang Hua retorted.
Huangfu Shu sneered, "A couple goes fishing on a date; who can perform well?"
For most people, a date is for entertainment and deepening feelings.
Fishing, a relatively quiet activity, requires scoring through conversation.
Coincidentally, Huangfu Shu is a doer; his talk is weak, so he relies on his strong, dog‑like waist.
He had thought that choosing the 'Desire' path would let him experience fish‑and‑water bliss within a cage long abstaining from meat and fish.
There is indeed fish and water, but not joy.
"Performance varies by person; we only need a slight grasp of someone's nature to tailor our approach," Su Yang said.
"It's easy to talk while standing, but how can you understand without ever seeing a face?" Huangfu Shu frowned.
"Therefore we need to share information to prepare for future dates," Su Yang added.
Share?!
At those words, Jiang Hua and Tang Youning looked at each other.
"Do you mean… sharing each other's date targets' personalities and preferences?" Jiang Hua asked.
"Six hours isn't enough to discern personality, nor to fully grasp preferences."
"We can tailor our approach based on eating habits and the subtle cues hidden in conversation," Su Yang said calmly.
With that, the three fell silent.
Su Yang's proposal truly is a good method.
But…
Huangfu Shu was the first to speak coldly, "Your Abacus is certainly loud; if we share, can't you craft the schedule based on common habits?"
Su Yang didn't deny, "Exactly, that's indeed what I want to do."
"But have you considered, if we don't exchange information, what if the girls share information on their side?"
"For example, you…"
Su Yang looked at Huangfu Shu, "You have a preference for stripping and showing off your muscles; if they give you a chance and then heap praise, could they earn you some Performance Score?"
"I…" Huangfu Shu, angry inside, began to retort but found no point of attack.
"And Jiang Hua." Su Yang turned his head, "You're a considerate, detail‑oriented guy; the girls only need to deliberately show a slight flaw for you to act, then give ample emotional value afterward—could that also earn Performance Score?"
Jiang Hua thought briefly, then nodded slightly.
Su Yang's gaze fell on the ever‑silent Tang Youning, "Brother Youning is the same; if they share that you have deep skill in the arts, occasionally give you hints to perform, then lavish praise, would you feel satisfied?"
Tang Youning gave no reply, but the sorrowful hue in his eyes already indicated acceptance.
"All the examples I listed are deliberate actions; if you do this, you might not obtain Performance Score," Su Yang said, giving Huangfu Shu a deep look,
"On the contrary, it could even deduct points."
"What if they don't share?" Huangfu Shu held his breath inside, but had nowhere to vent it.
He had never felt so stifled.
Su Yang hit upon his sore spot and his shame.
It was as if his lifeline were being pinched.
Su Yang smiled, "There is indeed competition between you and me, but don't forget, they are the biggest enemy."
"Partner Information correspondence aside for now, if our Performance Score collectively falls below theirs, it will become a lopsided situation."
"I don't want to lose even the qualification to choose, and I also don't want you to be selected at the first moment."
"If the girls' side gains one correct choice, the remaining girls each eliminate one option."
"And the total number of selection chances is two, meaning that even if they choose blindly, they have a two‑thirds probability of picking correctly."
"So…"
Su Yang's finger tapped the table at an unhurried pace, calmly saying, "We have competition between us, yet we must also cooperate."
"Makes sense." Tang Youning nodded in agreement.
Su Yang clarified the situation in just a few words; his reasoning was very clear.
"Can you guarantee that a woman has only one partner?" Huangfu Shu asked.
"Cannot." Su Yang slightly lifted his eyelids, "I also cannot guarantee that a man has only one partner."
"Exactly!"
Su Yang's words happened to serve as a reminder to them.
Why must it be that the girls' side might have multiple partners?
The boys' side could also have them.
If such a case occurs, the probability of winning rises sharply.
With full slots, blind selection still has a fifty‑percent chance.
Huangfu Shu's complexion shifted; he could find no point to refute.
But he also didn't want to follow Su Yang's arrangement.
The feeling of having his intellect ground down by others made him very uneasy.
But he glanced at Jiang Hua and Tang Youning's expressions and saw a spark of interest in both.
This meant that if he participated in sharing, he would lose three pieces of information.
Huangfu Shu wrestled internally, and finally, like a deflated ball, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, let's share!"
Su Yang smiled with satisfaction, "Then let's begin."
"Wait." Jiang Hua's Scent Perception picked up a hint of something amiss, "How can we guarantee that each person's shared information is accurate?"
"I'll discern truth from falsehood." Su Yang said.
"Oh?" Huangfu Shu suddenly became interested, "Could you even tell whether there is a Lie?"
"Exactly." Su Yang gave a slight smile, whispered, "You guessed right."
"My Innate Talent is 'Lie Detection'."
