Lin Muci rested at home for a few days. When she walked into the training room again, Yang Weiyang and the others were already waiting for her.
Yang Weiyang was training in front of the mirror.
Her forehead was covered in sweat, and she wiped the sweat from her brow, looked up at Lin Muci, and showed a shy smile.
"Xiao Ci?"
"How do you think I'm doing!"
Lin Muci nodded.
"Not bad, better than before."
Yang Weiyang immediately became excited!
She was praised by Xiao Ci!
Meanwhile, a system exclamation sounded in Lin Muci's mind.
"Host, you need to work hard to earn points..."
"The points I earned on the cruise ship were all used to fill the gaps..."
Hearing the little system say this, Lin Muci frowned subtly, and after a moment, she asked coldly.
"Fill what gaps?"
"What do you mean by that?"
The little system chuckled foolishly.
"Didn't I overdraw points before... The points you earn by completing cruise missions naturally need to be used to fill the gaps first. But don't worry, we've launched new missions, look, Host!"
The little system went *thwack*.
It threw out several missions for Lin Muci to see.
Lin Muci took a glance.
She couldn't help but be surprised.
Good heavens.
Four missions were waiting for her to choose from.
"Mission One: Successfully complete the tour. Add ten points."
This was basically giving her points for free.
She raised an eyebrow and continued to read.
"Mission Two: Publicly confess to Ling Qianhe at the concert and call him husband. Add twenty points."
Lin Muci didn't even look, she scrolled past.
The little system became anxious.
"Host, why aren't you considering this mission? This mission is very simple, you just need to confess to Ling Qianhe at the concert!"
"It gives you twenty points! Why can't you consider it, Host!"
Lin Muci simply didn't want to benefit Ling Qianhe!
Even though it was twenty points...
However, her horizons had broadened.
She wasn't that concerned about twenty points anymore!
She continued to scroll down.
"Mission Three: Increase the favorability of the SSS-level hidden character Franklin to above fifty. Reward fifty points."
This mission...
It was doable.
Franklin, isn't that Ling Qianhe's good friend?
The potential successor to the world's greatest villain? Lin Muci raised an eyebrow. She pondered for a moment, then asked the system.
"What is Franklin's current favorability towards me?"
The system told her with great regret.
"It's... *cough cough*... it's zero."
"Franklin is quite indifferent to you, only having a faint curiosity."
"And this faint curiosity is because you are Ling Qianhe's girlfriend. If you weren't Ling Qianhe's girlfriend, he probably wouldn't even pay attention to you."
How did she become Ling Qianhe's publicly known girlfriend?
However.
Favorability is zero.
Another tricky person.
"Are there no hints?"
The system said.
"I suggest you investigate his background... Although he is a top genius, a child prodigy all the way, who got into a top university and entered the most cutting-edge laboratory, he has a big secret hidden about him."
"This secret is also the key that might lead him to develop an antisocial personality in the future."
"If the Host can crack Franklin's secret, I think fifty percent favorability should be very stable."
Start with his family, his childhood?
However, this was not unexpected.
After all.
A person's childhood plays a significant role in shaping their personality!
The reason Ling Qianhe became possessive and malevolent.
Wasn't it because he was the illegitimate son of the Ling family?
And he had witnessed his mother being killed by assassins when he was young.
That's why his personality changed.
Becoming extremely biased.
It's just that he usually hid it too well, and only she knew the true face beneath Ling Qianhe's perfect facade.
Lin Muci sighed.
"Crack his secret? I'll try my best."
She would try, and put in as much effort as she could.
The last mission was quite interesting.
"Obtain the title 'God of Dance' on a global scale!"
"This title can accelerate the Host's global popularity!"
"Reward one hundred points."
"You need to participate in the Global Dance Competition and win first place."
This mission—looking at this line, she felt a bit curious.
"Global Dance Competition?"
The system nodded.
"Yes. While there's no absolute best in literature, there's no second in dance. People at heart love to watch passionate competitions. Your debut variety show, 'Idol Tomorrow,' became a massive hit for this reason. This dance competition is still in the preparation phase. Participants need to wear masks, and only in the final round."
"Can they take off their masks."
"I think it's very suitable for you."
"Win first place, and you'll be rewarded with one hundred points."
"So, isn't our system loyal?"
Lin Muci nodded.
This time, it wasn't stingy at all. A direct reward of one hundred points was quite generous—however, Lin Muci suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Wait a minute."
"Ling Qianhe isn't going, right?"
This was very important to her!
The system's answer was very vague and evasive.
"Ah, this... we don't know yet. But what's certain is that among the current registrants, his name isn't there..."
"So he probably won't go. Anyway, all participants have to wear masks..."
A masked dance competition?
This was indeed interesting.
It seemed they were determined to select the top dance masters.
Lin Muci chose the first, third, and fourth missions.
As for the mission to publicly confess to Ling Qianhe.
She snorted coldly.
Not even a hint of choosing it.
She would never choose that mission!
...
They stayed in the practice room for three full days, rehearsing dances and formations day and night.
A concert is different from a solo performance.
Existing songs needed to be rearranged, and the stage formations became more complex. Coupled with backup dancers, it was practically a life-threatening job.
Lin Muci also had to be responsible for the arrangements.
They occasionally ordered takeout to eat in the practice room and shared it with the staff.
These would be filmed as behind-the-scenes footage and released on their official channel as part of their group variety show.
Their official channel subscriptions had already exceeded ten million.
Yang Weiyang sighed.
"When we were on the island, Ma Yingying looked down on us. Now her fans are plummeting. Her and Li Mike's accounts combined don't even match our account's fan count... I don't know where her confidence came from to be so arrogant."
"She's going to be held accountable by Fox this time... maybe they'll even put a mosaic over her in the show."
Yang Weiyang was quite emotional.
"Fox said the variety show will be online in three days."
"Originally, they planned to take the show offline after the incident—but unexpectedly, the fan response was very enthusiastic. Fox changed their mind instantly upon seeing the good reaction."
Yang Weiyang hadn't expected it either.
"Everyone is actually looking forward to this variety show so much..."
"Well, even edited, it can be compared to a blockbuster movie, a top idol's fantasy drift... Who would have thought that the first half would be a romantic idol drama, and the second half would immediately turn into a fantasy thrilling action movie?"
The other two girls, hearing Yang Weiyang say this.
Immediately became interested.
They eagerly leaned closer.
And asked.
"Variety show?"
"Is it that dating show of yours? It must be very interesting. By the way, are you really going to sleep with your CPs when you're on the show?"
"Will you kiss and hug?"
"Wow, we want to watch too!"
When it comes to gossip.
Who wouldn't get excited?
Hearing the excited and enthusiastic tone of the other two girls.
Lin Muci almost choked. She coughed repeatedly, unable to catch her breath.
"How could we possibly sleep together!"
"What are you thinking?"
"There are cameramen and staff present, how could we possibly sleep together? Don't think too much, okay!"
Ou Ruola and Han Jiuzhen were disappointed.
"Ah, so you're not sleeping."
"But Xiao Ci, you didn't deny kissing. Are there any kissing scenes?"
Yang Weiyang immediately swore definitively!
"Absolutely not! Fei Siyu and I are just good friends who play games together, like sworn brothers! Although he's smart, I was the one who carried us on the island!"
This was the honest truth.
Swimming to grab resources.
It was all thanks to her.
Fei Siyu was just a pretty face cheering her on.
They were the kind of friends who would swear brotherhood!
Lin Muci hesitated again.
Did she and Ling Qianhe... kiss?
This, this she really couldn't say for sure. Mainly because sometimes she didn't know if she was captured by the camera... On the island, did he sneak a kiss on her? Ah, she suddenly seemed to have amnesia and couldn't remember.
Han Jiuzhen felt she had stumbled upon explosive gossip!
"No way?"
"You guys really kissed?"
She screamed desperately!
Lin Muci looked at her helplessly.
"Do you have to be so surprised?"
"Didn't we film a drama together!"
Forced kisses and all.
It wasn't the first time.
You must know that his domineering warlord Shen Jin'an at the time was as brutal as it got!
Who wouldn't blush and their heart race when seeing the scene where he pushed her against the wall and kissed her wildly, only to then pinch her chin and coldly and arrogantly say he wouldn't love her.
So.
The later slaps to the face were so hard their cheeks were swollen.
This was a clear fact.
Yet Han Jiuzhen was still trembling with excitement.
"That's different, *whimpers*... Xiao Ci, you really kissed him? This isn't acting! This is reality..."
Lin Muci said.
"But this is still a variety show."
"Don't get too immersed in reality."
The system chuckled foolishly.
【Host, why don't you tell them that in reality, Brother Qianhe does even more excessive things?】
【Tied to the bedhead.】
【In the basement.】
【In the bathroom sink.】
【Tsk tsk tsk, I'm shy just talking about it！】
Lin Muci was instantly angered and rebuked the shameless little system in her mind.
【Stop talking, stop talking.】
The little system wasn't afraid of Lin Muci at all, sticking out its tongue with a giggle.
【Host, you're shy, aren't you? Heh heh heh, Host is shy!】
【I knew Host would definitely be shy!】
【But who else is indulged in his overbearing tenderness?】
Lin Muci's face flushed like a sunset cloud.
This... darn little system.
How could it always pinpoint her innermost thoughts so accurately?
