Chapter 37: Wilderness Survival Plotline Goes Live

"..."

Luo Shiqing saw that the Luo brothers' eyes were practically glued to Luo Xixi, and their expressions were shifting unpredictably; her intuition told her something wasn't right.

Sure enough.

The next second.

The Heartthrob System came online and said nervously: 【Host, this is bad. Luo Xichuan's Favorability Value toward Luo Xixi has risen to 70 points, and Luo Xinian's Disgust Value toward Luo Xixi has been cleared, with his current Favorability Value at 7.5 points.】

【What did you say!!!】

Luo Shiqing's face turned ashen.

She quickly looked toward the Luo brothers again, her mind now full of question marks.

Didn't Luo Xixi just say "I know" a moment ago? Was that sentence inlaid with gold?? Why did the Luo brothers' Favorability Value toward her suddenly rise so much? She even wasted a bottle of Charm Water, and good grief, the Disgust Value was cleared for her too!!

【Cheating! You're still telling me this isn't cheating?? System, there's no way to play this game anymore!!】

The Heartthrob System was also incredibly annoyed and said: 【But the evaluation analysis given by Headquarters is that the other side is not cheating. I even had 20 points deducted because of this!】

【How could they not be cheating? You're telling me this is not cheating?? I'm not playing anymore! How could it be like this!!】

【Host, don't be anxious!】

Fearing that Luo Shiqing would quit, the Heartthrob System immediately placated her: 【To put it bluntly, this group of people from the Luo Family are just a bunch of initial Cannon Fodder. Even Luo Xixi, this female Cannon Fodder, is nothing more than a low-level character; she cannot cause you any major impact. As long as we can successfully conquer the male lead and the second male lead, any one of them can wipe out the entire Luo Family! So your task now is to focus on your preparations. Once the Wilderness Survival plotline begins, build up Favorability Value with the second male lead. Since the second male lead is an unconquerable target for Luo Xixi, even if she and her system really used underhanded methods to cheat, they can only stare helplessly at someone who cannot be conquered!】

After hearing the Heartthrob System's analysis, Luo Shiqing finally calmed her anger.

She stared fixedly at Luo Xixi and secretly gritted her teeth: 【Fine! Luo Xixi, let's see what happens in the Wilderness Survival dungeon; I will make you experience what despair is!】

Luo Xixi returned to her room, lay down on the bed, and then let out a long sigh.

【Sigh, Tong'er, just now I almost thought I was going to be glared to death by the female lead. It's a good thing she still remembers her persona is gentle and kind.】

After the third brother, Luo Xinian, had his Disgust Value toward her inexplicably cleared, Luo Xixi felt an incomparably intense hatred and anger coming from Luo Shiqing. Although the female lead often showed hostility toward her, this was the first time she had seen such intense hatred.

The Baby System came online at this moment, thoughtful: 【I also think it's very strange. I have a feeling that the Heartthrob System can see our Data Panel, which is why the female lead was so angry after Luo Xinian's Disgust Value toward you was cleared.】

Luo Xixi was a bit puzzled after hearing this: 【What? Are other systems not allowed to look at our Data Panel?】

【Of course not!】

The Baby System said categorically: 【The Data Panel is the highest secret of every system. If it were easily peeped at by others, all our actions would be seen through by the other side. They would formulate strategies based on our specific values to steer the plot in a direction favorable to them, forming vicious competition. Therefore, Headquarters forbids systems from peeping at other systems' data.】

【Then, did the Heartthrob System peep at our data or not?】

【It's hard for me to say at the moment because there is insufficient evidence. Besides, they are the number one system in performance and are very experienced; they might be able to use compliant methods to predict our data.】

【Fine, since there's no evidence, then we'll presume innocence.】

Because Luo Xixi didn't have much motivation to do tasks anyway, she didn't really care whether the Heartthrob System on the other side could see their data or not.

But the Baby System was still very excited because of what happened tonight.

She said to Luo Xixi: 【Host, I feel like you're a bit different today. In the past, you wouldn't have confronted the female lead to her face, but today you actually took the initiative to roast her! Do you have any thoughts of wanting to pursue the tasks now? (☆▽☆)】

【Ah? No, I don't... (⊙_⊙?)】

Luo Xixi answered directly.

The Baby System was stunned, 【Hmm?? You don't? (⊙_⊙)】

Luo Xixi: 【No. (⊙_⊙)】

The Baby System: 【(⊙_⊙)】

After the human and the system stared at each other in a daze for a while, the Baby System suddenly erupted, 【How could you not!! Then why did you roast the female lead just now? You used to just stand on the sidelines and watch the show!!】

【Uh...】

Luo Xixi was speechless for a moment. Actually, she didn't know why she had suddenly gotten carried away. After thinking for a while, she said: 【I guess I felt that third brother was a bit pitiful having his will manipulated by the female lead, and the atmosphere was just right, wasn't it? So I got a little bit indignant and roasted the female lead for a second, but I still firmly believe that the female lead's halo will overcome everything!!】

After hearing this, the Baby System said painfully, as if disappointed that she wouldn't live up to expectations: 【Host, you could have been indignant for a little longer!! I believe you can do it!!】

【No, no.】

Luo Xixi said modestly: 【I know my own limits.】

The Baby System almost cried.

How could her host be like this!

Fearing that the Baby System would continue to feed her chicken soup, Luo Xixi quickly changed the subject and asked: 【Since we are about to enter the plot, Tong'er, tell me how I'm supposed to stir up trouble in the Wilderness Survival variety show according to the plot.】

As a system that served its host wholeheartedly, the Baby System carefully answered Luo Xixi: 【Host, actually, as a low-level Cannon Fodder female villain, you don't have much screen time in the variety show. The female villain for this Wilderness Survival plot is someone else; her name is Suna. She is a popular top-tier celebrity who has had many hit works, but because she doesn't like the female lead, she keeps tripping her up. Her final ending is that the second male lead exposes her scandals, she fades out of the entertainment industry completely, and then, unable to accept reality, she jumps off a building and commits suicide.】

Hearing the fate of the female character named Suna, Luo Xixi couldn't help but sigh, lamenting: 【What's going on? Why are the endings of female characters who go against the female lead so miserable?? And she's a popular top-tier celebrity, why would she bother with a nobody?? And that damn second male lead, why is he everywhere?? Damn it, he really is a villain, he really does do all sorts of unconscionable things!! Ptooey!!!】

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

"Crack," the water glass shattered in response.

Yang Ge, who was nearby, turned his head when he heard the sound. He was startled and hurried over, asking anxiously: "A-Yu, what's wrong? Did the glass break? Did you hurt your hand??"

"..."

Yan Yu pursed his lips with a dark face and didn't make a sound. His gaze was fixed on the display panel in front of him, where a line of text was clearly written.

【Current Disgust Value of Luo Xixi toward you is 2500 points.】
