60. Chapter 60: The Trash Male Lead Who Constantly Holds Xixi Back

Yan Yu had been secretly observing Luo Xixi's actions from the side. It likely wasn't his imagination; he discovered that this girl seemed much more proactive than she was at the beginning, looked less like she was slacking off, and would even take the initiative to do things to show herself off.

Could it be that she finally intended to do the tasks seriously?

Under Luo Xixi's guidance.

The guests had also gathered a pile of seafood on the beach, such as bread crabs, moon snails, cat-eye snails, large Razor Clam King, and so on. In less than two hours, it was piled as high as a small hill.

"Amazing! Everyone! This is a huge harvest today!!"

Seeing the hill-high pile of seafood, the guests were all bursting with a sense of accomplishment. This was something they had gathered by working together!

The viewers in the livestream were also incredibly envious.

【Family, who understands? The kids from inland are about to cry with envy! I also want to pick seashells and snails by the sea!】

【The kids from the coast are crying too. There are too many people foraging for seafood here, it's not enough for us to pick at all. There are no human footprints on that desert island; they can pick whatever they want from the whole island, it's so satisfying!】

【The main thing is that Luo Xixi is too professional. How would ordinary people who have never foraged for seafood tell where there is stuff and where there isn't? It turns out she's like she has a wallhack on; she can tell exactly what is in which hole. If she starts a foraging livestream in the future, she will definitely attract a huge group of fans!】

【To be fair, the most eye-catching performance today is none other than Luo Xixi, right?】

【What are you saying? Isn't the most eye-catching performance today Shiqing, the little sister? If it weren't for her discovering this sandy area, would it be Luo Xixi's turn to show off here? I've never seen someone so ungrateful after benefiting!】

【No one even mentioned Luo Shiqing, why are you picking a fight again?】

【Did Luo Shiqing really not hire internet trolls?】

【Can't it be that passersby just find it unpleasant? Luo Xixi's hired trolls shouldn't go too far!】

【Can't afford to offend the noble pure passersby, slipping away, slipping away.】

……

【System, Luo Xixi's Starlight Value hasn't gone up again, right?】

Seeing that pile of seafood, Luo Shiqing worried that Luo Xixi would use this to increase her Starlight Value again.

The Heartthrob System came online and said with relief: 【It's fine, Host. Because the male lead's trolls have been helping you control the comments, Luo Xixi's reputation in the livestream hasn't improved much, and she hasn't gained any Starlight Value this time either.】

【Is that so? That's good then!】

After hearing this, Luo Shiqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and her favorability toward Sheng Tinglan increased a bit more in her heart. 【The male lead is still the reliable one. With his trolls here, I don't believe that bitch Luo Xixi can still turn things around!】

The Heartthrob System was also quite satisfied with this male lead and said: 【Host, didn't I say that someone who can be a male lead must be extraordinary? In his heart, only you are unique. Even though your Favorability Value is only 20 points now, it is enough for him to treat you differently and defend you to the end.】

【Hehe~】

Luo Shiqing said with a pleasant mood: 【That's natural. If he didn't even have this bit of performance, how would he be worthy of me? Luo Xixi can only jump around for now. Once my Favorability Value with the male lead increases a bit more, I will have him completely destroy this bitch!】

【Right, Luo Xixi is indeed a major hidden danger. Even if the plot is advanced, she must be completely crushed to prevent future trouble.】

On the other side.

The Baby System complained to Luo Xixi with some dejection: 【So angry, Host. Originally, your performance was so good; logically speaking, you could have increased your Starlight Value. But because of the suppression by the male lead's trolls, you didn't manage to increase your Starlight Value this time.】

Fortunately, Luo Xixi had been mentally prepared for a long time. After all, this was the female lead's world, and she was the protagonist. How could she possibly let her, a supporting character, steal all the halo? It was already not bad to be able to gain a little Starlight Value. How could she possibly expect to suppress the female lead in everything?

Therefore, Luo Xixi, who viewed things with a calm mind, instead comforted her Baby System, saying: 【It's okay, Tong'er. We didn't gain any this time, we'll work harder next time. Anyway, there's still a long time left, we can always gain more.】

The Baby System was comforted and cheered up again: 【Mm-hmm, Host, let's keep working hard! I'll look through the later plot again to see if there's anything that can increase your Starlight Value!】

【Sure, take your time looking.】

Because the Baby System was in high spirits, Luo Xixi couldn't be bothered to dampen its enthusiasm.

As it turned out, before the Baby System could even look up any highlight plots, Yan Yu's voice sounded among the group, "It's getting dark. If we are going to camp on the beach tonight, we need to build a simple tent as soon as possible."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The group remembered that they didn't have a place to sleep yet.

Everyone immediately calmed down from the joy of the harvest. Someone said with worry: "That's right, I almost forgot about this. But we don't have a tent, how are we going to build one?"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Xixi saw Yan Yu looking toward her side. Her heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, the next second, Yan Yu asked her: "Xixi, do you have any good suggestions?"

Oh my god!

The second male lead really thought of her whenever there was a highlight!

Because Yan Yu asked Luo Xixi, the other guests also turned their gazes toward Luo Xixi, "Xixi, do you have any good ideas?"

"Uh..."

Luo Xixi had already promised the Baby System that she would cooperate with the second male lead to earn Starlight Value, so this time she didn't act coy either. She pointed at the coconuts not far away and said: "Aren't there many coconut trees by the sea? I see that the branches on them are quite wide; they can just be used to block the wind and rain."

"Use coconut tree branches?"

Everyone looked at the coconut trees that were on average over ten meters tall and looked at each other, saying: "These coconut trees are so tall. To use their branches as a tent, wouldn't we have to climb up?"

"Who among you knows how to climb trees?"

"I don't know how."

"I don't know either."

Just kidding.

It's so high; even if one knew how to climb, one would have to say they didn't. Otherwise, if you fell down, there wouldn't even be a hospital. Are you looking for death?

Luo Shiqing didn't want to miss this highlight opportunity either and hurriedly said to the Heartthrob System: 【System, open the skill points for me, I want to climb the tree!】

The Heartthrob System said helplessly: 【Host, you have always been raised in the boudoir by the Luo Family, unable to carry anything on your shoulders or lift anything with your hands. How could you possibly know how to climb trees? If you really open the tree-climbing skill points, your character setting will collapse.】

Upon hearing this, Luo Shiqing was furious: 【Then that good-for-nothing Luo Xixi is opening all kinds of skill points! Isn't her character setting a loser? Why can she do everything!!】

While Luo Shiqing was arguing with the Heartthrob System, Luo Xixi had already raised her hand to volunteer.

"Since no one knows how to climb trees, I'll go pick them."

Luo Shiqing: 【System, look!! She's opening skill points randomly again!!】

The Heartthrob System was also shocked, 【Where do they get so many points to redeem skill points??】

Luo Shiqing was angry: 【The point is that Luo Xixi's dead Cannon Fodder character setting doesn't match anymore!!】

At this moment, Yan Yu walked to Luo Xixi's side as expected. With shallow dimples on his cheeks and the corners of his lips curled up, his smile was noble and charming as he said: "It just so happens that climbing trees is also something I'm good at. Xixi, let's go together."

Luo Xixi lifted her eyes and swept a glance at Yan Yu, then complained to the Baby System: "He has to wait until I speak before he takes initiative; what exactly is wrong with this second male lead? Does he only feel happy if he's crowded in with me? He doesn't know how to walk on his own, does he?"

"Host, you..."

The Baby System didn't know how to answer Luo Xixi for a moment.

I mean, is it possible that the second male lead just wants to cuddle with you, Host? Stupid Host, why is your brain so dense? It really worries the system to death!
