Chapter 167 The Long-Awaited Limited-Time Mission
After sending dozens more, Lin Xi noticed that his favorability rating hadn't changed, so she stopped. Even though it was now an unlimited amount, she didn't want to waste it like this.
It’s time to save, it’s time to spend money!
It seems we need to find another way.
At this moment, Duan Zexuan looked at the screen full of uninterrupted Three Lives Three Worlds special effects and felt something different.
Sister Xi, could she really have a crush on me? Otherwise, why would she give me a gift with such obvious implications?
However, it seems that ever since I met Sister Xi, she has never asked for my contact information, and I have never sent it to her.
Could this be a hint? Otherwise, at least they'd be sending out a "Sacred Dragon's Descent," but this time it's a direct "Three Lives Three Worlds"...
He tentatively sent his Earth number, and felt a little uneasy afterward.
Is the case of Nan Shu about to repeat itself?
There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes, but he shook his head. He must be sick; how could he be so excited and expectant?
But......
If Lin Xi knew what he was thinking, she would definitely shake her head helplessly.
She only gave this gift because it was the most valuable. The reason she hadn't given it before was simply because her wealth level wasn't high enough!
Therefore, it was a beautiful yet unfortunate misunderstanding.
Lin Xi checked and saw that she had three chances to win a prize. "Why don't I try my luck?" she thought.
She pressed the lottery button.
[Intermediate Martial Arts Talent]
"Host, adding 20 points will upgrade you to advanced martial arts talent, and adding 30 points will upgrade you to top-tier martial arts talent." The system always pops up at crucial moments, its words full of sales pitch.
"Top-tier? Wasn't the highest tier previously considered advanced?" Lin Xi asked, puzzled.
"Things are different now. You've leveled up, so the skill ceiling will definitely change too," the system said calmly. If it had a beard right now, it probably would be...
"So what's the main difference?"
"Top-tier martial arts talent means that one doesn't need anyone else's guidance and can create a legend on their own; this is called 'Creator'." The system's tone was full of pride.
"Okay, then hurry up and upgrade it for me." Lin Xi's eyes lit up, her heart filled with anticipation.
Creator!
This name sounds amazing!
"Okay, I'll redeem it for you now," the system said immediately, its tone still excited, but for some reason there was a sense of urgency in it.
We need to hurry, or... it will be too late...
The system silently recited the command and then the sound disappeared.
Lin Xi's eyes darkened, but she didn't say anything. What's meant to happen will happen, so there's no need to dwell on it!
Lin Xi felt the changes in her body.
She felt her whole body become very light, with a warm current flowing through her. She closed her eyes slightly, and several images appeared in her mind. Following this feeling, she gently moved her body, her hand movements constantly rehearsing, in coordination with her waist, legs, abdomen, etc.
If anyone were present at this moment, they would surely notice that Lin Xi had entered a strange state. Every movement she made seemed to carry a peculiar rhythm, yet it was inexplicably harmonious, as if it were meant to be...
Time passes slowly.
Lin Xi, who had been rehearsing in the room, suddenly stopped and gently opened her eyes.
"Oh no, I smell a bit strong." After calling out, Lin Xi quickly ran to the bathroom to clean herself up.
A few minutes later, Lin Xi stood in front of the mirror again.
She looked at herself and felt a change she couldn't quite put her finger on; she looked even more ethereal.
[Triggered a Level 3 limited-time quest: Within one month, acquire 10 bound individuals with a favorability rating of 100. Success rewards a mystery gift; failure... fails... fails... there's...]
When Lin Xi heard the mechanical electronic voice repeating those four words over and over again, she felt a sudden, inexplicable panic, as if something was about to happen to the system.
"No penalty for mission failure. Do you accept?"
The system's voice appeared at the right time, but it did not bring Lin Xi any relief.
Lin Xi waited for a while but didn't get an explanation, so she had no choice but to speak.
"accept."
She decided to try her best to complete the task, feeling that it was very important!
She decided to start with Duan Zexuan, since she was only 2 points away from gaining favor with him!
She sat down, preparing to send a message to Weijue.
[Unfelt favorability +10]
Huh? What's going on?
[Wei Jue: Shi Qing, why didn't you say this gift was so valuable? If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known this equipment was worth millions.]
[Shi Qing: Not much money, shall we go online?]
[Unaware: Okay.]
After Duan Zexuan sent the message, he immediately opened the Whale platform and waited in the room.
Lin Xi saw him online and immediately stepped into the chat.
"Shi Qing, come up here." Wei Jue's gentle voice rang out, though it trembled slightly.
Just then, other people entered the room.
[Goodness, Weijue, you haven't been online these past few days. When you are online, you're always with Shiqing. Did she ask you to come online?]
"Yeah, I've been livestreaming every day lately, so I've been a bit busy," Weijue replied.
[It really is true, it has to be Miss Shi Qing, she's online the moment we call. We call and she's busy, huh? Fine, fine, you prioritize romance over friendship, huh?]
Wei Jue chuckled and said, "Don't joke around," before turning her attention to Shi Qing.
"Shi Qing, I just found out today. Why don't you give me an address and I'll mail it back to you?"
"Send it over? No need, it's not worth much, I..."
"What is this, being sent back and forth?" The girl who was typing below jumped up at some point and interrupted Shi Qing as soon as she spoke.
Unbeknownst to her, her brow furrowed slightly, and her tone lacked its usual gentleness. "It's nothing, it's between us."
"Oh, come on, I'm just curious, I won't say anything." The girl seemed oblivious to her offense and instead said to him in a coquettish tone.
Seeing that he didn't react, she turned her gaze to Shi Qing, "Miss Shi Qing, please tell me, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Lin Xi really wanted to say, "What does it have to do with me if you can't sleep?" But with him around, she held back and said softly, "I just gave him a gift, and he wants to return it to me."
The girl covered her mouth and smiled, "After all, it's a gift. If you don't like it, it's normal to send it back. Don't take it to heart, Sister Shiqing. I'll talk to him about it later."
"No, it's just that this gift is too valuable, so I thought of sending it back to you. I didn't mean anything by it. Don't listen to her nonsense," Wei Jue quickly explained.
She's really going to kill me! How come he never realized she was this kind of person!
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow. Hmph, trying to play this game with her?
Since you want to play, then play along with her.
