Chapter 55: Stupid Host, is it possible the second male lead wants to help you?

After the Heartthrob System used the "Charm Water" item on Yan Yu, Luo Shiqing stared at Yan Yu without blinking, filled with intense anticipation.

However—

Yan Yu's gaze remained fixed only on Luo Xixi, not looking in her direction in the slightest.

It was as if the Charm Water had been used for nothing!

!!!! 【System, why didn't it work?!】

【Host, it seems our guess was correct; the second male lead must also have Self-Awareness! Therefore, the effect of the Charm Water on him is negligible.】

Upon hearing this, Luo Shiqing was nearly driven mad: 【Then what about my Charm Water? Was it still consumed?】

This was a precious item that only drops after completing the romance route of a character!

It couldn't have just been wasted like that, could it? The Heartthrob System was also extremely annoyed at this moment and said: 【Yes, the Charm Water has already been used and cannot be recovered.】

【How could this be!!】

Luo Shiqing was furious and hurriedly asked: 【You said the effect was negligible, but surely it should have had some effect? What is Yan Yu's current Favorability Value toward me? And what is his Disgust Value toward that female Cannon Fodder, Luo Xixi?】

After checking, the Heartthrob System was also baffled to the extreme: 【Host, Yan Yu's Favorability Value toward you is currently still zero. Because Luo Xixi cannot currently be romanced, there is no Data Panel, and I cannot view Yan Yu's disgust data regarding Luo Xixi.】

Luo Shiqing: 【!!!!】

Damn it!! Her Charm Water!!!!

【Host, please calm down.】

Fearing that Luo Shiqing would quit again, the Heartthrob System hurriedly appeased her: 【Even if the second male lead possesses Self-Awareness, he is still the second male lead within this story's framework. As long as we follow the plot to complete tasks and increase your Starlight Value, he will still be influenced by the plot and slowly gravitate toward you!】

【Really? System.】

Luo Shiqing was now completely out of options and could only cling to the Heartthrob System as her last straw.

【It is true, Host. Please trust in my professional capabilities.】

The Heartthrob System said proudly: 【I have completed countless tasks and accumulated rich experience, enough to handle any emergency. Currently, the second male lead's Favorability Value toward you is zero, which I believe is mainly because his character setting is indifferent and cold. Your current Starlight Value was all boosted by the male lead hiring internet trolls for you; the guests on-site have not been conquered by your charm, so the second male lead cannot notice you either. Your task now is to stand out as quickly as possible and earn Starlight Value on your own; that way, the second male lead won't be able to help but notice you.】

【Fine! Then tell me, what should I do now to earn Starlight Value?】

Luo Shiqing could no longer stand the feeling of being treated coldly.

She was the heroine of this story!

She was supposed to be radiant, with everyone's eyes focused on her!

But ever since Luo Xixi appeared, everything had changed. First, the Luo Family members all cherished Luo Xixi, ignoring and cold-shouldering her, the heroine. Now, even the second male lead's attention had fallen entirely on Luo Xixi.

Damn Luo Xixi!

A mere female Cannon Fodder, what right did she have to fight with her, the heroine? Furthermore, Luo Xixi's system was just a Newborn System, while she had the top-performing Heartthrob System.

Luo Shiqing couldn't imagine how Luo Xixi could possibly beat her!

She absolutely could not lose to Luo Xixi! Luo Shiqing secretly vowed in her heart: She must take back everything that belonged to her! She would also make Luo Xixi lose her reputation and suffer immensely! She would carve the fear of her into Luo Xixi's very bones!

【Host, for now, you can go pick firewood with the other girls. Use this as an opportunity to find seafood to use as food. I will tell you the locations of the seafood, and when you tell the others, you will gain attention and earn the title of "Lucky Star."】

The Heartthrob System prepared a strategy for Luo Shiqing.

Upon hearing this, Luo Shiqing also felt the Heartthrob System's plan was good and hurriedly agreed: 【Fine, it's settled!】

"Alright, then everyone, let's stick to our duties and get moving." After the tasks were divided, one of the male guests spoke up immediately.

Luo Shiqing couldn't wait and rushed toward the location the Heartthrob System had sent her, fearing that someone else would discover the seafood first.

Seeing this, the other female guests whispered: "Why is this Luo Shiqing so eager?"

"Can't you tell? She wants to be famous. She wanted to be in a group with the guys just now, but Brother Yan refused her flat out and chose Luo Xixi instead. It's obvious he doesn't like her~"

"Hehe, it feels so embarrassing, even though her mental fortitude is so strong~"

Hearing those words from the female Cannon Fodder, Luo Shiqing was furious.

Because this was originally a face-slapping plot, and because she had been quite prominent, she ended up being gossiped about behind her back by a few loose-lipped female artists. Yan Yu wouldn't say anything, but he would silently punish these bitches for her. But now, because there was no interaction with Yan Yu, the face-slapping plot had vanished entirely.

This was all Luo Xixi's fault!

All the suffering she was enduring now would be repaid in full by Luo Xixi in the future!

Just as Luo Shiqing arrived at the spot designated by the Heartthrob System and prepared to call someone—

This work was organized and uploaded by 69 Book Bar~~

"My god!!"

Suddenly.

Exclamations from the men came from afar.

Hearing the noise, the female guests turned their heads one after another, "What happened?"

They saw, not far away.

Luo Xixi kicked a coconut tree, and the tree immediately began to sway. The coconuts above could not bear the weight and fell one after another. Just like Yan Yu, Luo Xixi easily caught the falling coconuts and tossed them to her third brother, Luo Xinian, who was standing nearby.

"Third Brother, catch."

Luo Xinian was stunned and hurriedly caught the coconut. The male guest beside him stared in shock and said: "Xixi, you're so amazing! You actually kicked such a thick coconut tree until it swayed."

"Huh?"

Seeing that this group of male guests all looked shocked and ignorant, Luo Xixi felt it was quite inexplicable, "Is this amazing?"

In Luo Xixi's perception, wasn't this something anyone could do? Otherwise, why would the second male lead have asked her to come? "It is quite amazing..."

Seeing Luo Xixi's reaction, one male guest, as if to prove something, walked up to the coconut tree and kicked the trunk. The result was that the coconut tree didn't move at all. He said to Luo Xixi as if presenting a treasure: "See, I can't kick it at all!"

Luo Xixi: "..."

Big brother.

It's fine that you can't kick it, but why are you so proud and smug? At this moment, Yan Yu walked to Luo Xixi's side holding a coconut, curled the corners of his mouth at her, and with a hint of a smile in his deep, dark eyes, said leisurely: "Didn't I say? You definitely could do it, Xixi. You are too self-deprecating. Be more confident, you can do even better."

"..."

Seeing Yan Yu acting like a master of chicken soup for the soul, Luo Xixi's mouth twitched again.

"Tong'er, tell me, what exactly is wrong with this second male lead? Why is he saying these things to me? What exactly is his intention? What exactly is his mission?"

The Baby System came online, feeling quite helpless, and hinted: "Host, is there a possibility that the second male lead's mission is to help you complete your mission?"
