Chapter 76 One wrong move, and the whole game is lost.
One wrong step can lead to eternal regret; looking back, one is already covered in mud.
Starting with Marquis Dingbei, the system completely shed its friendly facade, becoming even more ruthless than a capitalist, forcing her to constantly pursue and win over mission targets to earn strategy points.
At first, she was a virtuous and clean-living girl who was unwilling to sell herself for the mission. She only reluctantly played some ambiguous tricks with the sons of the powerful and wealthy, such as playing the piano, writing poems, and giving them sachets and handkerchiefs.
The system puts her under immense pressure, which inevitably makes her a bit impatient. She casts a wide net and focuses on catching the right fish, but not everyone is like Yuan Erlang, who adheres to the principle of acting on emotion but stopping at propriety.
She managed to dodge those unwanted advances once or twice, but there was always a time when she couldn't escape them. Enduring the disgust, she refused further harassment when she was about to formally propose marriage.
But as the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet." Trying to have multiple partners still led to her downfall, and she was banished to the Imperial Music Bureau by Emperor Qi.
She knew what the Jiaofangsi was like, and having been in this era for some time, she knew that the so-called "selling art but not one's body" was a joke.
She would rather die than become a prostitute available to anyone. She begged the system to save her, but she didn't have enough strategy points to buy items, and the system refused to provide advance payment.
If she can't live well, can't she just die?
No, she realized then that the moment she agreed to the binding, she had sold her soul and was essentially making a deal with the devil.
There are no free lunches in the sky, only traps.
How could an ordinary person like her expect to have a cheat code to defy fate and become a winner in life by paying only a small price, or even nothing at all? Where in the world is there such a good thing?
The system exerted mind control over her, preventing her from engaging in any suicidal behavior.
The only act of "mercy" I showed was by shielding her senses the first time...
The bottom line is something that is gradually retreated, bit by bit, until there is a complete collapse and no bottom line left.
With her crimson lips that a thousand men tasted and her jade-like arms that ten thousand men slept with, she became a notorious scoundrel in the Qi Kingdom.
……
The carriage swayed as it moved along, and Lu Huanong's thoughts were brought back to reality by the system's voice.
Go back and ask Liang Yan about Shen Qing's situation; I have a guess that needs to be verified.
"what?"
If I'm not mistaken, System 9527 is planning to take an unconventional approach to accumulating strategy points.
Lu Hua frowned slightly. She was still immersed in the regret of having mistakenly boarded the pirate ship. She couldn't help but wonder what Shen Qing's mentality was in not binding with the system.
Most people are misled by online literature and subconsciously assume they are the chosen ones when they hear the word "system," agreeing to bind themselves without a second thought. Who knows that this is an unfair contract? Surely they wouldn't calmly request to see the details of the agreement?
Even if a normal person is wary, they would agree to it first for fear of missing out on the cheat code. Is there anyone who doesn't care about cheat codes?
Meanwhile, System 9527, feeling humiliated, was also complaining to Shen Qing.
"You mean that? I don't read online novels much. I occasionally watch a bit or scroll through a video just to keep up with the trends so I don't miss the jokes during live streams and get called a 2G idiot by my fans."
Why is that? Most people like it. You're definitely not normal.
Shen Qing rolled her eyes. "That's because most people are poor. Scrolling through their phones is their cheapest form of entertainment. But I have so many other ways to have fun: filming, working out, picking up girls, traveling, skiing, skydiving, playing golf..."
[...] It was wrong, it was really wrong. If there is a next time, it will definitely not choose a winner in life as its host again. At that time, it was only thinking about the efficiency of the mission and picked the one with the highest charm.
"As for why I wasn't afraid of losing my cheat ability? At that time, I didn't even want to live anymore, so why would I care about my cheat ability?"
【e(┬┬﹏┬┬)3】This is a lesson learned the hard way. It was just bored with the tasks and wanted to have some fun out of a perverse sense of humor. I will never do it again!
Time would not stop because of the system's sadness. The carriage swayed and drove into Li'an City. Shen Che and his group first sent Liang Yan back to his residence and then returned to the post station.
He just didn't expect that taking another look at Revlon before leaving would make Liang Yan imagine so many things.
For safety reasons, and also because of his own ulterior motives, Liang Yan brought Lu Huanong back to the Duke's mansion as well.
Lu Huanong feigned being moved and took the opportunity to inquire about Shen Qing from Liang.
"The young master seems to value that young man highly. I wonder what he has that makes him so special, besides his exceptional martial arts skills?"
"This young man is extraordinary, skilled in both literature and martial arts, and chivalrous and righteous." With nothing else to do, Liang Yan recounted Shen Qing's heroic deeds since he came to Yudu.
He rescued Lu Yuanzhi at Linxian Lake, then left without a trace, concealing his merit and fame. He rescued Yu Jue on Dongcheng Street, fought off more than a dozen villains, and then brandished a sword and wrote a poem on the courtyard wall.
Seeing Lu Huanong deep in thought, Liang Yan wondered, "Since ancient times, Chang'e has loved young men, and beauties admire heroes. In addition, Shen Qing's expression before leaving... Could it be that the two of them have fallen for each other?"
Thinking of this, Liang Yan did not feel resentful about the possibility of being cuckolded. Instead, he thought that giving Revlon to Shen Qing would not be a bad thing.
It was common for nobles to exchange concubines. Although it was not easy to recruit Shen Qing, it was always good to make a good relationship with such a person. In case he was needed someday, we could let him take on some private work.
In reality, Revlon was listening to the analysis and conclusions of System 5466.
[9527 is cultivating Shen Qing into a person with extremely high influence. Ordinary people only have 1 to 10 strategy points. The higher the official position and the greater the reputation, the higher the strategy points. Shen Qing started from Xuan State, passed through Qi State and came to Yu State. His reputation soared rapidly in a high-profile manner. How could an ordinary person achieve this level? It must be the work of 9527.]
"Since she doesn't do the strategy quests, then we don't need to target her anymore."
[Naive] System 5466 scoffed, [I told you long ago that the amount of strategy points obtainable in this world is limited. If she gets more, others will get less. What will you do if you don't have enough strategy points after leaving the world? Besides, her not doing missions is only temporary. Sooner or later, 9527 will make her bind to the system to do missions. You two are destined to be competitors.]
After a long silence, Revlon finally spoke, "What do you plan to do?"
Kill her before she grows up!
"Ha~ You think I can win?"
[Foolish, of course we'll use a strategy.]
Just then, Liang Yan asked, "Lu'er, what do you think of Shen Qing?"
[Quick! Praise her, show admiration, and exploit men's jealousy and possessiveness to get Liang Yan to do the dirty work.]
Lu Huanong hesitated for a moment, but ultimately could not disobey the system and had no choice but to do as it said.
"Young Master Shen is a chivalrous and loyal man, I only feel that we met too late..." He stopped abruptly, pursing his lips as if he realized he had spoken out of turn, looking guilty and annoyed.
“I see,” Liang Shou nodded. “I see that he likes you very much, so I will do him a favor and give you to him.”
Look, he's so angry he's saying the opposite of what he means.
