Chapter 2: Trials, fireworks, skill exchange.

In front of Chi Xiaochi's eyes was a data disk visible only to himself. On the data disk were the host's real-time body temperature, heartbeat, blood pressure, and the current external temperature, etc., while the most conspicuous data bar was divided into red and blue colors.

The blue one is the remorse value bar and the red one is the favor bar, both full values are 100.

The blue value is constant at "9", while the red value is dropping due to Chi Xiaochi's comment "I spent your money".

Chi Xiaochi sighs, "How come people don't like to hear the truth."

The system kind of wanted to spit, but held back.

Yang Baihua was disappointed, "Xiao Cheng, why are you talking like that?"

Chi Xiaochi did not rush with him and said in a pleasant manner, ''Old Yang, don't misunderstand. What I mean is that Big Brother is also thinking about us. With a car, our lives will be much easier. I can not use it, but you can drive it out to work, how face in front of colleagues."

He had a great attitude, as if the fiery words he had just uttered were simply stating the facts.

The system looked at the goodwill value that had risen back up by two points and thought, A slap and a sweet date. The tactics are okay.

Yang Baihua panted.

This child has been spoiled since he was a child, and he doesn't know the importance of his words. I'm afraid he doesn't even realize how hurtful those words were just now.

Thinking of this, Yang Baihua showed some of the patience that a father has with his children and coaxed him, "Xiao Cheng, cars are consumables. How much do you have to spend on gasoline every month to pay for a car, and how much do you have to spend to buy a parking space, have you ever thought about it? Can we afford it now?"

"I'll earn money to support you!" Cheng Yuan held his hands behind his back, his smile so sincere and gentle that it melted his heart, "I'm almost done with my demo, I'll have money by then."

Yang Baihua said helplessly, "How many times have I told you, this is not serious work."

"I love music."

"Liking can't always be a meal ...... Forget it, let's not mention this." Yang Baihua said tolerantly, "Lest we quarrel."

"Okay, don't mention it." Cheng Yuan took a step forward, closing the distance between him and Yang Baihua, and softly said, "Actually, I was thinking that this car could be used to pick up your mom and dad. Mom, dad, and third sister will be coming to the city next week. When they come, you can still take them to Xiaoyan's school and pick her up for dinner or something. Didn't Xiaoyan ask you when you were going to buy a car the last time she was here."

These two things just scratched Yang Baihua's itch. He was silent.

As he said this, Cheng Yuan looked up at Yang Baihua.

When she met his burning gaze, Yang Baihua's heart palpitated violently.

It was winter. In the early hours of the night, Cheng Yuan let out a breath. In the haze of white mist, his already glowing white cheeks were covered with a layer of moving and delicate wheels of light, and a circle of wind hair along the edge of his white down jacket was blown by the night wind, brushing against his pure porcelain-like white neck, one by one, causing his heart to tighten and burn.

The operation board in front of Chi Xiaochi was displaying a semi-transparent card with the following data display:

Name: Beauty Aura (Experience Edition)

Duration: 10 minutes

Number of pieces: 1

Quality: Excellent

Type: Single-use product

Required exchange points: 0 (issued free of charge)

Introduction: The egg fried rice wrapped in gold, the big bone soup boiled with juice, the crab legs with shells broken open, the duck egg yolks with red oil, all of them are not as good as your smile under the pale light.

...... Good analogy.

Chi Xiaochi wonders, "Your copywriter is a cook by trade?"

The system replied, "......009 is one of the original AIs of the main god system, it's innate data, it just prefers to study recipes."

Chi Xiaochi thought that was a bit odd.

Innate data?

There's post-birthday in data?

Before he could ask in detail, the system beat him to the punch by reminding him, "Mr. Chi, the mission."

Chi Xiaochi: "Uh-oh."

The system was slightly relieved to see Chi Xiaochi refocused.

He had just taken over Chi Xiaochi and realized that this new host was not normally difficult.

After receiving and reading the worldline information, Chi Xiaochi pondered for a long time, and the first question he posed was, "When we meet up later, can I just hit Yang's surname with my car."

System: "......"

Chi Xiaochi said, "Don't be nervous, we're just discussing it."

He paused for a moment and then added, "Cheng Yuan's family is so rich, so if there was some kind of traffic accident, their family must be able to handle it, right?"

The system said, "...... You really want to run him over, don't you?"

Chi Xiaochi said, "No, just discussing it."

The system said, "Mr. Ikari, you're dealing with a large living person."

Chi Xiaochi said, "Oh. Accidents, no one wants them."

The system tried to reason with him, "...... Mr. Chi, the laws of this world are similar to the world you originally lived in, and intentionally injuring someone will result in jail time. Besides, after rolling the object of your mission, how do you plan to get out of the world?"

The only criterion for wanting to get out of the mission world is the remorse value.

Only when the Remorse value reaches 100, the host can break away from the existing world and teleport to the next mission world.

The system brought up the remorse value in order to dispel Chi Xiaochi's anti-human thoughts, who thought that Chi Xiaochi analyzed it with reason, "It is said that a person's regret will peak at the moment of death."

System: "......"

Chi Xiaochi added, "Even if he hadn't died and was just crippled, he would still have had a long life to spend regretting it."

System: "......" You can shut up.

The silence of the system made Chi Xiaochi understand. He sighed, "Fine. You're a little comrade with no sense of humor."

...... However the system heard a clear sense of disappointment in Chi Xiaochi's voice.

For this reason, the system, which could not be put down, also deliberately re-examined Chi Xiaochi's information.

Chi Xiaochi is an actor yes, not some ex-convict.

Though he is full of black news, playing big names, smoking in public to bring down teenagers, being uneducated and unashamed of it, having a bad relationship with his parents, having dirty py deals with old men of all colors and other miscellaneous stuffs, most of them are just rumors and it is hard to tell whether they are true or not.

After the system filtered through the garbage information, it thought, "Fortunately, this host is probably just a bit of a maverick, and has some psychological problems. With some guidance, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Chi Xiaochi's performance so far has been very good, and the free skill cards have been used appropriately. The system reads that Yang Baihua's favor value, which had been on the decline just a moment ago, has shown signs of rebirth.

Each new host gets twelve free one-time skill cards. These props have different functions, but all of them can only be used once. If they feel effective after use, the host can enter the system warehouse and utilize the goodwill value of the task object to exchange the props and flexibly utilize them under various conditions and occasions.

Like right now.

Looking at Cheng Yuan, Yang Baihua's throat rolled gently.

He knew that Cheng Yuan was good-looking, but even the best-looking people are just the same after seeing too many of them. However, now he had regained the feeling that when he first fell in love with Cheng Yuan, his heart would tingle when he looked at him.

The little rabbit that had been bred to have snow-white fur rolled its round black eyes and looked at him with fascination and concentration.

So good that they are only bent on relying on themselves and thinking for themselves.

...... That's the right thing to do.

Yang Baihua likes the feeling of being "back on track".

With a smile on his face, he asked, "You remember my cousin's name is Xiaoyan?"

Cheng Yuan said without pride, "Of course I remember. I remember everything related to you."

For a moment Yang Baihua had the urge to kiss him.

But he glanced at the rest of the room and happened to see Xiao Liu from the copy room next door coming out of work, shaking his keys out of the company's revolving door, discussing with two other coworkers about where to go for a barbecue in the evening.

Yang Baihua turned his body away, immovably blocking Cheng Yuan, and the hand that was halfway up and intended to touch Cheng Yuan's face was also lowered, naturally inserted into his pants pocket: "Next time you want to add something to your home, don't forget to consult me. This is our two homes, don't you think so?"

Chi Xiaochi sneered inwardly.

A home for both of us? A discussion?

There's a whole family of you sleeping in this double bed. Did you discuss this with me.

However, "Cheng Yuan" could not think of that.

According to his character, only know Yang Baihua acquiesced, the car can stay.

Cheng Yuan's eyes are bright, looking at Yang Baihua's eyes love more blazing.

Yang Baihua laughed, "I'll drive?"

Cheng Yuan volunteered, "You're tired after a long day, I'll drive." He pulled open the backseat door and did a playful curtsy, "Boss get in first, I'll take out the trash."

Yang Baihua smiled, readily sat in, surveying the interior of the car, his gaze was hard to hide his envy.

When will he be like Cheng Jian, who gives away a car at the drop of a hat?

And Cheng Yuan carried a bottle of mineral water with only the bottom of it left, slinking toward the trash can on the side of the road.

Yang Baihua spends all day on the computer, his eyes aren't very good and he didn't see the cigarette butt floating in the water bottle.

When Chi Xiaochi drops a bottle into a recyclable trash can, the empty bottle bumps against the barrel, making a soft sound of crumpled and distorted plastic.

Chi Xiaochi asked the system, "See?"

System: "Uh-huh."

-- Cheng Yuan majored in vocal music and has always loved his voice and stayed away from alcohol and tobacco.

Chi Xiaochi smoked half a cigarette, and although he covered it up with chewing gum, the smell of smoke lingered in his mouth and on his sleeve, yet his current lover didn't notice anything unusual and didn't even ask about it.

Of course, this is just Chi Xiaochi's off-the-cuff attempt, and it doesn't prove anything.

In his opinion, this was just one of the small signs that preceded Cheng Yuan's tragic fate.

Back in the car, Cheng Yuan said as she buckled her seatbelt, "Let's go to the train station together to pick up Mom and Dad when they get here."

Yang Baihua visibly froze for a second.

Cheng Yuan, of course, would not notice Yang Baihua's abnormality and continued, "I'm a very stable driver. When the time comes, I'll take mom and dad to pick up Xiaoyan, and then take them to stroll around Yunzhe Temple and take a hot spring in the suburbs ......"

Yang Baihua said uncomfortably, "...... Let's talk about it."

Cheng Yuan, with a small trumpet mouth blaring, said energetically, "Then I'll play my newly written demo for you. You're my first listener, okay?"

Yang Baihua was glad he changed the subject and smoothly agreed, "Put it on."

Cheng Yuan pulls out his cell phone and clicks a few times.

The melodious pure music drifting out from the speakers is exceptionally gripping, and Yang Baihua, after a busy day, seems to be massaging his taut nerves with the music flowing into his ears.

He passed out against the comfortable leather seat.

The system couldn't help but remind, "Mr. Chi, there's no need for you to use the skill card frequently."

Chi Xiaochi just used another hypnosis card on Yang Baihua for an hour and a half.

Chi Xiaochi herself didn't mince words, "Test it. Besides, doesn't this favorability thing take as much as it takes."

...... There's nothing wrong with that judgment.

A person to another person's good sense of value would have been up and down floating state. Couples quarrel, the value of each other's good will all the way down to the bottom, hate to strangle each other and then fast, to the love of sound heart hot, and is the honey oil, good will naturally is again rubbing upward.

Just now, Chi Xiaochi's operation was as fierce as a tiger, causing Yang Baihua's favorability to rise back to 72, exactly the same as the initial figure.

Chi Xiaochi concludes, "A total of 14 goodwill points were dropped for a car that didn't cost him anything."

System: "...... "Wasn't the last 10 points disliked by your one sentence.

Chi Xiaochi continued to analyze: "A beauty halo card with a lasting effect of 10 minutes, together with a few soft words of kindness, the goodwill is back. And redeeming another Beauty Halo Card with the same effect will only cost 5 points of favor value. When you do the math like this, the goodwill value is still very easy to brush."

System: "......"

Chi Xiaochi disliked Yang Baihua on purpose to test the ups and downs of favorability?

And that word "brush" gave the system a bad feeling.

Chi Xiaochi said, "Currently, Yang Baihua's favorability towards Cheng Yuan is enough as long as he passes. With the extra 12 points of favor value, help me look at the warehouse and see what I can cash in."

The system was shocked.

In the past, in order to get out of the world as soon as possible, his hosts were all trying to circle around the mission object, first playfully brushing their favorability to 100 before anything else.

After all, who knows if the quest subject's lack of favorability will have an effect on the quest process.

It was the first time the system had seen a fierce warrior who dared to jam the pass line at the beginning of a passable build.

The system rummaged through the storage, "Worth 10 points of goodwill are the 'beauty aura' that lasts 30 minutes, the 'karate black belt buff' that lasts 5 minutes, the 'painless buff', and a '10,000 people aura' with a duration of 5 minutes ......"

Chi Xiaochi listened carefully, "The first one, I think."

After the deal went through, he asked, "Is there a longer duration for the 'Aura of 10,000 Fans'?"

The system said, "Yes. Maximum 1 hour, 40 points of goodwill required."

Chi Xiaochi mused, "Then I'll save up again."

...... system think Chi Xiaochi this tone, as if Yang Baihua in the meat factory as a pig, today cut the front leg, tomorrow cut the five flowers, cut and then grow, grow and cut again, children and grandchildren endless also.

The somewhat creepy system says, "The remaining 2 points will only buy small props and erotic items."

Chi Xiaochi: "Oh, come on."

System:"...... Mr. Ikari, we're a proper system."

Chi Xiaochi didn't say anything, and gave a knowing laugh.

The system was so amused by him that its data fluctuated slightly, "We don't provide that kind of service. Erotica refers to small props that can be materialized to enhance feelings, such as bouquets, river lamps, fireworks, and the like."

Chi Xiaochi said, "Have a firework."

"It takes 3 points for a firework."

Chi Xiaochi simply said, "Take a shot."

System: "......"

Chi Xiaochi: "What are you waiting for? I'll be the one who fails."

Of course it's on you, thought the system helplessly, otherwise it would still be on me.

Upon successful redemption, a clear bell sounds, indicating that the redemption has been deposited.

Chi Xiaochi waited half a day, "Where are the fireworks."

The system replied: "Raider object ......" This is not still lying down offline.

"Who says it's for him?" Chi Xiaochi said, "Right now, put it on."

The system was a little confused, but did as it was told.

An eight-fold core of fireworks opened in response to the sound, falling like a line of snow, falling like a shooting star, coloring the dark dome of the sky with a moving embroidery of light.

The fireworks were exploding in the distance, and the light and shadow had to come before the sound, so as the light beads and jade threads scattered away, Chi Xiaochi suddenly spoke up and said to the system, "...... This is for you."

Before the words were out of his mouth, there was a snap and a belated burst of fireworks.

The system looked at the flying stars that spread out in a slight daze.

Chi Xiaochi's face is reflected in the rearview mirror of the sedan. He was smiling.

Although Chi Xiaochi used Cheng Yuan's face, when he really smiled, it was completely different from Cheng Yuan's simple and harmless smile. His peach blossom eyes are slightly curved, and his three-part evil spirit is mixed with seven-part careless laziness, bringing with it a charm that captures one's heart and makes one unable to take one's eyes off.

Chi Xiaochi said to the system, "I'm going to trouble you for more guidance in the future."

System: "......"

It was a bit touching, but the system somehow felt that it was not right, and that its nature was similar to a guillotine meal, sending someone to a good meal before they were shot.

Soon, the system realized something was wrong: "This is not the way back to Yang Baihua's house."

Chi Xiaochi took it for granted, "Of course I'm not going home. What else would I hypnotize him for?"

System: "......"

Chi Xiaochi glanced at the car navigation system and confirmed the destination before adding, "...... I want to go somewhere."
