Young Master Qin Keeps Coveting Me After I Beat Him Up Chapter 126 - Every Time She Thought of Qin Mufeng, She Couldn't Stay Calm

Chapter 126: Every Time She Thought of Qin Mufeng, She Couldn’t Stay Calm

[Intermediate Mission 2: choose one of the following targets to gain 20 Favorability Points. Mission reward: increased 10 years of life, one additional ability panel. ]
Jiang Xun looked at the options she had.
A. Ren Jiayi
B. Feng Yuyan
C. Ji Zheyu!!
D. Qin Mufeng
Jiang Xun pursed her lips. “Why are you still doing multiple-choice questions?” she asked, bewildered. “I definitely wouldn’t choose the first three.”
She hadn’t decided to join “Unfulfilled Lovers” to find a boyfriend in the first place.
Mufeng really was the only option she had here. There was no need for this kind of multiple-choice question, was there?
To her, this was an easy answer.
Jiang Xun was just about to select Mufeng when she heard the system’s question.
“…Host, why is this an easy answer for you?”
“What do you mean?” she asked.
“Although Ji Zheyu and Feng Yuyan aren’t that great, Ren Jiayi is actually pretty good. At the very least, he didn’t take part in their badmouthing you. This means that this person is pretty good. Why didn’t you consider Ren Jiayi? And why did you choose Qin Mufeng?”
Jiang Xun furrowed her brows, confused. “… I don’t like Ren Jiayi, so why would I choose him?”
“Then do you like Qin Mufeng? It seems like every time he’s an option, you go for him without fail.”
Jiang Xun froze in panic for a moment, suddenly finding herself tongue-tied. “You… What are you asking all this for?!!”
“Host, don’t be so nervous. Straighten your tongue before you speak.”
Jiang Xun hurriedly explained herself. “…I’m not here for love. No matter how good Ren Jiayi is, there’s no need for me to get his Favorability Points. As for Mufeng…we know each other. Even if I get his Favorability Points, he won’t…have any… developments with me.”
Jiang Xun didn’t say anything else after that. Indeed, when she’d seen the four options presented to her, she’d gone for Mufeng without thinking.
Her first reaction was that she only wanted to work hard to get his favorability points; she didn’t care about the favorability points of others at all.
But why would she care about Mufeng in particular?
Without even mentioning his face, just thinking about his name sent her heart spiraling out of control.
After a little while, the system asked, “Host, you haven’t chosen yet. Do you want to choose or not?”
Jiang Xun came back to her senses at its words. Only then did she realize that the system was still stuck on the options page. She hesitated for a few seconds before choosing Mufeng in the end.
Just as she selected him, however, another message popped up from the system.
[Intermediate Mission 2 completed. Mission reward: increased 10 years of life, one additional ability panel. ]
Jiang Xun: “…What the hell?”
She almost said that out loud. She stood up from the chair at the writing desk in her dorm.
The three roommates looked at her in surprise when she suddenly made such a big movement. “Jiang Xun, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing,” she replied, then sat down guiltily.
“Is it because of the comments on the Internet?” Jiajia comforted her, “Don’t take it to heart. After the episode premieres tonight, most of the netizens will know that they’ve wronged you. I saw the comments on the official Weibo and the official account in Shanpin; a lot of people said that they liked you. Let’s just ignore those haters.”
“Yeah, those people are just talking because they have nothing better to do. They even think that they’re more rational than others. Just ignore them,” Daxin chimed in.
“After becoming famous, who wouldn’t have at least a few haters? The more famous, the more haters there are,” Haina said. “Don’t look at them.”
“I’m fine. It’s not because of those comments,”Jiang Xun said, scrambling for an excuse. “I just suddenly remembered something and stood up in excitement. Those people don’t bother me, and besides, I’ve gone through this a lot of times after cracking that boulder on my chest, so they don’t scare me anymore.”
Upon hearing that, the three roommates let out a sigh of relief and laughed.
“That’s right. This is also the price of fame,” Jiajia said with a smile. “It’s not easy being a star. You need great mental strength to bear the pressure.”
“If it were me, I might really not be able to bear it,” Daxin said truthfully. “I might be advising you, but it’s because I know you’re mentally strong and can bear the pressure. But if it were me, I wouldn’t even dare go online if I saw people scolding me like that every day.”
After confirming that Jiang Xun was really fine, the three roommates began to focus on their own homework.
Jiang Xun then asked the system, “I haven’t even run into Mufeng yet. How did the mission get completed?”
“You don’t necessarily have to meet the person in question. After the mission is activated, as long as the target has a favorable impression of you, your mission will be completed.”
Jiang Xun couldn’t help but sigh. “This is the fastest mission I’ve ever completed.”
Completed in a second, even.
The system looked at the Favorability Points Mufeng had towards Jiang Xun and realized that they had been increasing. They had even surpassed the 100 point mark.
The system didn’t really understand why his points could break through 100 points and continue to increase; logically speaking, the system shouldn’t be able to record any data after the maximum value.
After Jiang Xun finished speaking, he couldn’t help but think, even if they didn’t meet, was Mufeng’s impression of her still improving?
What was he thinking?
At the thought of him, Mufeng’s face suddenly entered her mind, and Jiang Xun’s face instantly became hot.
She closed her book and stood up, then headed towards the front door.
“Jiang Jiang, where are you going so late at night?” Haina asked, curious.
“I’m going out for a few laps.” It was too hot and she needed to go out for a bit to cool down.
The three roommates were already used to Jiang Xun’s vigorous energy by now.
*
After running a few laps in the cold evening wind, Jiang Xun finally calmed down.
It was then that the system popped up again. “Host, allow me to remind you that you haven’t added anything to your ability panel yet.”
“…”
She had actually forgotten such an important matter!
“…Host, it seems like Qin Mufeng has had a great influence on you.”
“Shut up!”
The system stopped talking.
After regaining her composure, Jiang Xun converted 70 MP into 7 AP, then used a total of 10 AP to enhance her Speed. Now, she had 603 MP left.
She thought things over, then added 10 AP to all her abilities except for Purification. This way, she still had 543 MP left over. She then converted 100 MP into 10 AP, which she added to her Purification skill.
Jiang Xun transferred another 100 MP and converted them into 10 ability points and added them to [ purification ] .
The system had previously said that for the Purification skill, every 10 points, the body would have to endure a little more pain while undergoing the process.
Last time, Jiang Xun had hit the 20 point threshold, but she’d already felt a little uncomfortable then. Deciding to be cautious before enhancing anything, Jiang Xun headed back to her dormitory just in case she were to encounter any accidents.
