At that moment, the system notification sounded, detecting energy nearby. The system issued a task for the host to review. Ling Xue opened the interface to find the task description: find a scumbag and increase his favorability towards her, then blacklist him. Upon accepting the task, she would gain the ability to check favorability, usable once a day; after completing the task, there would be no limit on usage. If she failed the task, the ability would disappear.
Time limit: within ten days.
After completing the task, based on the number of people she managed to charm, she could receive corresponding task items and random Skill Points as rewards. This time, she must obtain the permanent task item Beautiful Girl and Butterfly Hairpin. After reading about the generous rewards, Ling Xue decisively clicked to accept.
The system then reminded her that a nearby scumbag, Xing Ming, was available. Ling Xue used her attractiveness skill to check Xing Ming's favorability. Seeing such a high favorability rating made her feel slightly nauseous, but she steeled herself and approached him. "I'm really sorry for my presence causing your friend to get upset. As an apology, let me keep you company for a while."
Xing Ming quickly forgot about Liu Ting's departure and thanked Ling Xue for her concern. He secretly rejoiced at her appearance, thinking it might help him escape the shadow of his breakup.
He began to ramble on about his story with Liu Ting, trying to elicit sympathy from Ling Xue. She listened patiently, nodding occasionally to show understanding while also calculating how to boost Xing Ming's favorability in a short time. She knew this was not just for completing the task but also so she could freely use her favorability checking ability afterward.
Before parting ways, Xing Ming stubbornly asked Ling Xue for her WeChat. Concerned about revealing her identity, she claimed her phone had just been lost and suggested he leave his number instead until she could get a new phone and replace her SIM card.
"I know a Mobile Store owner; I can take you there where you can get a discount on phones," she offered.
Ling Xue used her skill again and saw that Xing Ming's favorability towards her had already increased. She thought that for just completing a task, it was impressive how quickly things were progressing; she immediately agreed.
Soon after, Xing Ming took Ling Xue to the Mobile Store. She found one she liked but had to settle for a more affordable model due to her limited budget. Noticing Ling Xue's embarrassment, Xing Ming insisted he could buy her a phone.
Ling Xue thought that since the task required making the scumbag feel bad anyway, she might as well take advantage of this situation. "Isn't that too much? We’ve only just met."
"It’s fine; we’ll get to know each other better over time," he replied.
When it came time to pay, Ling Xue pretended not to be able to compete with Xing Ming and let him pay for her phone.
Afterward, she got a new SIM card and felt quite pleased with herself, thinking that being a woman had its perks. Unbeknownst to her, she was beginning to accept her new identity as a female.
After adding each other on WeChat, Ling Xue opened the system again to check. At this point, not only had Xing Ming's favorability towards her not increased; it had actually decreased. Ling Xue speculated that winning over Xing Ming would require more effort than she initially thought.
As evening approached, Xing Ming suggested they go watch a movie together. Ling Xue didn’t refuse; as they walked and chatted, she made sure to compliment him by saying she'd never met someone as nice as him and praised his looks.
When they arrived at the cinema, they chose a movie Xing Ming liked. She decisively bought tickets and treated him to a Snack Combo. At this moment, she noticed that Xing Ming's favorability had finally risen again.
