“Host, data.”
Name: Sikong Ji
Purple Luck: 90
Affection Value: 2
“Sikong Ji, what a nice name. Purple Luck 90, such high Purple Luck. Affection Value, 2?”
The System watched as everyone had walked far away, yet Su Tian still hadn’t made a move.
“Host, go for it! What are you waiting for? That’s someone with Purple Luck 90.”
Su Tian rolled her eyes at the System.
“Leaving aside whether he’s a Purple Luck person or not, just talking about strangers—if you go up and strike up a conversation like that, won’t they be annoyed?”
“So you’re just going to let him walk away? Don’t you want the rewards?”
“Of course I want the rewards, but you can’t just recklessly approach him, can you? Speaking of which, what rewards come from gaining Affection Value from Purple Luck people?”
“Luxury cars, villas, cash, businesses—you name it. If the host wants to get rich overnight, one gift pack can make it happen.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? If you’d told me sooner, I would’ve pounced.”
The System looked at Su Tian with an expression that said, “Hindsight is 20/20.”
“System, how much Affection Value from a Purple Luck person do I need to get an Achievement Gift Pack?”
“At 40, 60, 80, and 100 respectively. The higher the Affection Value, the better the items in the Achievement Gift Pack.”
“Only 2 points? What’s the point? I’d rather just eat.”
The System was speechless.
After finishing her meal.
Su Tian bought some fruit at the supermarket in the basement of the mall, then hailed a taxi to head back to her rented apartment.
Before Su Tian had even left the mall, the driver called.
“Miss, I’m here, right at the east entrance. You’ll see a black car when you come out.”
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
Carrying a large bag of fruit, Su Tian walked out and spotted a black car. She pulled open the door, ready to get in, only to find someone already inside.
And that person happened to be the one she had earlier marveled at for having such high Purple Luck. Needless to say, Su Tian realized she had opened the wrong door.
Sikong Ji slightly raised his eyes to look at Su Tian, who had opened his car door.
“Sorry, I got the wrong car.”
Without waiting for any reaction, Su Tian quickly closed the door and slipped into another black car parked nearby, getting in smoothly in one go.
Sikong Ji watched as Su Tian fled in a panic to the other car before withdrawing his gaze.
The assistant sitting in the front seat also retracted his gaze. “Boss, that girl who opened the wrong door is really pretty.”
“What? Do you like her?”
The slightly cold tone in his boss’s voice left the assistant somewhat confused. “Just appreciating beauty. Everyone has an eye for beauty.”
“You must have too much free time. There happens to be a project recently…”
“I’m innocent, Boss! I’m swamped with work. Assistant Zheng is the one with free time.”
Assistant Zheng, who had just opened the car door, looked bewilderedly at Assistant Li and then at his boss.
What? What?
…
“Last four digits 9567?”
“Yes.”
“Fasten your seatbelt, and we’ll be on our way.”
“Okay.”
Su Tian fastened her seatbelt, and the car quickly accelerated, causing her to lurch forward. Goodness, if she hadn’t fastened her seatbelt, she would’ve flown!
“Driver, are you rushing home for dinner?”
“No, I’ve already eaten.”
Seeing the driver’s calm and composed expression, Su Tian’s lips twitched slightly. In the end, she chose to keep quiet.
“Host, Sikong Ji’s Affection Value has increased.”
A big question mark appeared in Su Tian’s mind.
“Earlier, the Affection Value was 2. Now it’s 5. It increased by 3 points.”
“What’s the difference between 2 points and 5 points?”
“Five is bigger than two, Host. Surely you’re not so clueless you can’t even handle such a simple elementary school question?”
Su Tian: “…”
“Were you doing that on purpose earlier? Did you know Sikong Ji was in the car and deliberately opened the wrong door?”
“No, I really just opened the wrong door.”
“I thought you were actually that scheming.”
“Thanks for thinking so highly of me.”
“You’re welcome.”
Su Tian: “…”
Returning to the old, dilapidated, and cramped neighborhood where Su Tian rented her apartment, the security guard at the entrance was gnawing on an apple with his last two remaining teeth.
The neighborhood was dirty, messy, and chaotic, with nine out of ten surveillance cameras broken.
Back at her rental, as Su Tian was unlocking her door, the young man from the couple next door was about to leave. When he saw Su Tian, his eyes lit up—how had he never noticed that such a well-proportioned girl lived next door?
“Hi, I live next door. If you ever have any light bulbs or faucets that need fixing, just let me know. I can help you repair them.”
Su Tian gave a slight nod, opened the door, and immediately locked it from the inside.
The young man wasn’t surprised by Su Tian’s reaction. He rubbed his nose and left.
Over the next few days, Su Tian practiced singing and dancing. Although she had already rehearsed a few songs during her previous audio broadcasts, she wanted to practice a few more just in case before going live.
After another day of practice, Su Tian collapsed exhausted onto her bed.
Why did dancing look so easy for others, but for her, it felt like her hands and feet just wouldn’t cooperate? It was as if each of her limbs had a mind of its own, resenting the others for looking just like them. While dancing, they seemed determined to smack each other around, as if they wouldn’t be satisfied otherwise.
This made things miserable for their owner. She either got slapped in the face by her own hands or tripped over her own feet. Over the past few days, she had lost count of how many times she had fallen or been smacked in the face by her own hands.
“Host, if you don’t have the talent for this, maybe you shouldn’t force it? I’ve never seen anyone with such a strong masochistic streak.”
After Su Tian tripped over her own foot and fell to the floor yet again, the System couldn’t help but speak up.
“Why is it so hard?”
“Because your hands and feet aren’t coordinated. You’re just not cut out for dancing.”
“So, am I only going to sing during my livestreams?”
“Who told you not to use the Prize Pool? The Prize Pool has everything—Dance Masters, Piano Masters, all the basics.”
“I was thinking of focusing on getting prettier first. The Prize Pool can wait.”
“Then just go live like this for a few days, Host. At least you can carry a tune, or I really wouldn’t know what you have to offer.”
“That’s a bit harsh, you know.”
“It’s the truth.”
Su Tian: “…”
“I don’t want to talk to you anymore, hmph.”
Su Tian gave up on practicing the dance that kept tormenting her and instead filmed a transformation video.
After filming, she immediately edited and posted it to build hype for her livestream the next night at eight o’clock.
After spending 1,000 on boosting the video’s visibility and adding 100 to all her previous videos, Su Tian sighed as she watched her wallet shrink again. When would it ever be full?
“System, how much Affection Value do I have now?”
“Host, your accumulated Affection Value over the past few days is 280,000. Do you want to use the Prize Pool or exchange it for Energy Points?”
“Exchange it for Energy Points, then distribute them evenly between hair quality and skin quality.”
“Understood.”
Hair Quality: 79/100
Skin Quality: 74/100
The hair and skin quality are already quite high, so let’s see what changes tomorrow brings.
After a tiring day, Su Tian ate a little something and got ready to sleep.
Just as she lay down in bed, her phone suddenly buzzed with a message. The sender had an aurora sky avatar, with no name attached.
“You haven’t been streaming lately?”
Su Tian thought for a moment and finally remembered who the person behind that avatar was.
