Chapter 46: The Heroine is Baffled: Why is the Second Male Lead Always Staring at Luo Xixi!

"Xixi, so you actually know how to start a fire?"

"……"

Luo Xixi was stared at by everyone with expectant eyes, caught in a dilemma.

She did know how to start a fire; it wasn't a difficult task, but wasn't this a plot point meant for the heroine to show off? Why should she snatch it? Going against the heroine would lead to a miserable death.

Forget it.

Should she just say she doesn't know how?

Just as Luo Xixi was about to open her mouth to deny it, Luo Shiqing was also about to open her mouth to say she knew how to start a fire. The result was that both of them had just opened their mouths when they were interrupted by that goddamn Yan Yu.

"Xixi, you know how, right? Everyone is tired and thirsty now; you can't hold out on us."

Yan Yu stood to the side, arms crossed, his handsome features carrying a lingering, relaxed, faint smile, as if he were trying to charm someone to death. But to Luo Xixi, it was full of mockery and teasing, which made her teeth itch.

Luo Xixi: "!!!!"

Yan Yu.

This lady is going to fight you to the death!!

Yan Yu: Heh.

"Xixi, do you actually know how to start a fire or not?"

Because Luo Xixi hadn't responded for a long time, everyone looked at her with burning gazes and asked again, full of anticipation. Under the urgent stares of the crowd, Luo Xixi could only nod, her scalp tingling, "I... I do."

"That's great!!"

Hearing Luo Xixi say she could start a fire, the group of guests began to cheer again, "Now we can have a barbecue!"

Luo Xixi: "￥%@#*%￥#@……"

Big brothers, there isn't even any barbecue seasoning; don't think the food grilled will taste that good!

Luo Shiqing, having had her spotlight stolen once again, was so angry on the side that she was practically distorting.

She stared fixedly at Yan Yu, gritting her teeth: 【System, what exactly is this second male lead doing! Why is he sticking his neck out for Luo Xixi?! Shouldn't his gaze be following me?!】

The Heartthrob System analyzed: 【It is estimated that because Luo Xixi was in the spotlight earlier, the second male lead's attention was snatched away by that Cannon Fodder.】

【Then what should I do?】 Luo Shiqing was anxious, 【Didn't you say that the second male lead's setting is that he would be attracted to me from the moment I appeared? What kind of attraction is this? He pays more attention to the third brother than to me! What is wrong with you systems? There are bugs everywhere, and the plot doesn't match up at all. You still have the nerve to say you are the number one performing Heartthrob System; you better think of a way!】

The Heartthrob System was also furious after being scolded by Luo Shiqing: 【Isn't it because you, the Host, didn't do as I said? If you had stepped up to catch the snake at that time, the plot wouldn't have gone off track at all!】

【So now you're blaming me?】

Luo Shiqing questioned loudly.

The Heartthrob System thought, isn't it your fault? If you had followed my instructions, how could it have turned out like this? You are truly the worst Host I have ever brought!

But as the number one performing system, the Heartthrob System still had to suppress its temper. Although the Host was trash, relying on its excellence, it would surely complete the mission smoothly just like before!

After calming itself down.

The Heartthrob System continued to say to Luo Shiqing: 【Host, calm down. Even if the second male lead is paying some attention to Luo Xixi now, it is only temporary. In the end, Luo Xixi is just a straw bag, and her system is even more of a waste among wastes, without abundant skill points, let alone points to exchange for skills!】

【The higher the second male lead lifts Luo Xixi up now, the more miserably Luo Xixi, who has no real talent, will fall in the end. From this perspective, we are suppressing first to rise later, which is actually beneficial to us.】

【Really?】

After listening to the Heartthrob System's analysis, Luo Shiqing was half-believing.

【Please trust my professional quality. I am the number one performing system; my analysis will not be wrong.】

【Fine.】

Persuaded by the Heartthrob System, Luo Shiqing calmed down, then glared at Luo Xixi with venomous resentment, 【Later, I must trample this bitch Luo Xixi completely under my feet!】

Luo Xixi found dry sticks and dry moss, and the group of guests surrounded Luo Xixi like curious babies, watching her start a fire.

Someone saw Luo Xixi holding a stick and spinning it crazily on the wood, and immediately said like a model student: "I know, it's drilling wood to make fire!"

"I remember that for drilling wood to make fire, you also need to find vines and stones. Let's go help Xixi find some."

A guest began to volunteer, actively showing off.

But before he could turn around, Luo Xixi called him to a stop, "No need, the fire is started."

"What?!"

They saw that the dry moss in front of Luo Xixi was actually emitting black smoke. Soon, sparks appeared, and finally, it turned into a small flame.

Luo Xixi hurriedly piled more dry moss from the side to prevent the flame from going out. The series of movements was smooth and professional, leaving the people nearby stunned.

"So fast! The fire is already started!"

"It feels quite easy."

"Xixi, thank you for your hard work. Next time we need to start a fire, let us guys do it."

The bullet comments were also amazed when they saw this scene.

【So that's how you can start a fire; I've learned some strange little knowledge again!】

【It looks quite simple; I thought starting a fire was very difficult!】

【The person above is being naive, right? You really think it's simple? Generally, people use vines to rotate the stick, but this girl is good, she used her hands directly! I guarantee her palms must be rubbed red by now!】

【Oh my god! Then why didn't she say anything?】

【This girl looks like someone who is very low-key and doesn't like to show off. In contrast, Luo Xinian's other sister is quite fond of showing off.】

【Haha, indeed, it was the other one who let everyone go on an adventure in the forest, and as a result, they encountered a snake.】

……

【Ding-dong, congratulations to the Host, Starlight Value has increased by 2 points. Current Starlight Value is 7 points. \(≧▽≦)/】

The Baby System came online to report.

【Ah? This can also increase Starlight Value? Isn't it just starting a fire? (⊙_⊙?)】

Luo Xixi was a bit surprised and couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed a novel world; the NPCs inside were really quite ignorant.

After the fire was started, everyone's attention went to the fire. Luo Xixi also took the opportunity to slack off and hide to the side. Just as she wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, the hand hanging by her side was grabbed by someone.

"Hmm?"
