As soon as Han Mingyue finished her call and came back, Zhen Yu immediately asked. The source of this content ɪs novel fire.net
Han Mingyue’s expression was a bit hesitant, "The talk was okay, but..."
"It’s just that I still have some worries! I always feel like seeing is believing."
"You’re overthinking it!" Zhen Yu tried to keep a straight face and not burst into laughter as she said, "This is just like submitting manuscripts to magazines and newspapers, right? There’s no need to meet the person in person! Once the contract is signed, you just submit the manuscript and wait to collect your pay!"
Han Mingyue pondered for a moment, and it seemed to make sense! With that, she felt a bit more at ease.
"Yeah! Maybe it’s because I treasure my own work more! In fact, it’s already been serialized online, if someone really wanted to steal my manuscript, it would actually be easier to do so online!"
"That’s right!" Zhen Yu stood up, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Since there’s nothing to worry about, I’ll head home first."
"I’ll walk you out!" Han Mingyue immediately offered!
How to deal with a boyfriend who’s so clingy? I’m waiting online, urgent!
She still needed to discuss Kang Jian’s issue seriously with Little Liu’er!
Although feeling a bit anxious, Zhen Yu still brought Han Mingyue home with her.
They discussed the follow-up plots of their novels, talked about calligraphy, and even chatted about their plans for the New Year. And just like that, the afternoon quietly passed by.
Han Mingyue said goodbye before dinner. Right after he left, Zhen Yu immediately locked herself in her bedroom and eagerly summoned her system!
"Little Liu’er, Little Liu’er, come out quickly!"
"Of course, there’s a matter! About Kang Jian!"
[What happened to him?]
"What happened to him?! He found out about my system!"
[I don’t quite understand what you mean.]
"What’s there not to understand?! I’ve been exposed! What if he decides to... to..."
[I understand what you mean, Host. But you don’t need to worry about that.]
"How can I not worry! Although I don’t know what his motives were for helping me keep it a secret, oh?" Zhen Yu suddenly paused mid-sentence, then immediately added, "I get it!"
[Good that you understand! If he reveals the existence of the system to ordinary people, then,]
"The first one to be dissected would be him!" Zhen Yu said cheerfully: "Lucky for him he’s not dumb!"
[Although that’s true! But before we figure out what type of system he has, I advise you to be careful around him!]
"I know that! I’m not stupid! But he’s very likely to have guessed what type you are, right?"
[Yes! Through my inference and calculations, there’s a 90.9% possibility that he has guessed correctly.]
"Is there any difference between that and 100%? By the way, I don’t think I’ve ever asked about you! Where does your serial number come from? What categories do you all belong to? Do you know who created you?"
[...First, the numbering is sequential. Second, there are many categories of systems, with many subcategories under the main categories. I belong to the auxiliary category, specifically the proactive subcategory. Third, I do not know.]
Zhen Yu nodded thoughtfully at the system’s first two answers, but her breath hitched at the answer to the last question and she silently grumbled in her heart.
"Only Little Liu could say ’I don’t know’ with such confidence..."
"He guessed your ’identity’, but I still don’t know his ’identity’; this seems a bit unfair... Little Liu’er! Could you help me infer? Analyze?"
As the system agreed, Zhen Yu was at a loss for where to start the inference, "Where should we start?"
[Noticed no significant improvement in academic performance, exclude the Revenge category!]
[Noticed no signs of spending lavishly or sudden wealth, exclude the Pay-to-Win category!]
[Based on the above, the preliminary inference is that this unknown system probably belongs to the same main category as me but a different subcategory.]
"Phew..." After listening for a while, Zhen Yu finally heard the conclusion and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Going by what you said, I can almost relax!"
"Ever since I got tied to you, I’ve been spinning like a top every single day! And that’s been, what, about four years now? And I’m still just a nobody in the city! Whatever his reason, whether he’s been connected for a shorter time or whatever it is, I have the upper hand now! I don’t believe he’ll outwork me in the days ahead!"
Having such an ambitious host really made the system break out in a proverbial sweat!
Maybe I should give her a little help?
System 6781 was torn for a moment, but, being a system that prides itself on professional ethics, it ultimately chose not to open the floodgates...
Meanwhile, Kang Jian returned home and immediately sequestered himself in his bedroom to talk with his system.
"So, you’re saying Zhen Yu wore a prop today?"
[Yes! But it’s just a low-level prop. It can detect my existence but can’t discern my category.]
"Alright then! So she knows, what’s the big deal!"
[Indeed! According to the information you’ve gathered, there’s a more than 90% chance that her system is of the proactive type! The biggest downside of this kind of system is that they need to work hard to borrow power from the system!]
"That’s why I like you more! Although the buildup is slow, the feeling of gaining benefits just by laying back is simply too good to be true!"
[Thank you for the praise, Master! Charm System 399 will serve you wholeheartedly!]
"It’s just a pity that leveling up at school is ridiculously slow! It was a bit better when I was at the Affiliated School, but ever since I entered First High School and ended up in the same class as Han Ming, those girls might as well be glued to him! It’s only been half a semester, and I haven’t even collected ten charm points! Ridiculous!"
[Master, don’t be disheartened! You have to keep trying!]
"I think to fully utilize your function, I should pursue a career in modeling!"
[Indeed! 399 also thinks that you should quit school immediately and enter the entertainment industry!]
"But my mom, ah..." Whenever he thought of his mother, Kang Jian felt dejected again!
After wandering back and forth on the streets of Hai City and nearly freezing to death, he finally got noticed by a talent scout thanks to a prop. But Mrs. Kang almost ruined everything! In the end, he firmly insisted he would go, which led to Agent Zhang leaving him a contact number, telling him to ’convince’ his family.
Such are the pains of not being an adult! If only he’d already turned 18, sigh!
Never mind! He had to hurry back out and look sharp!
The more charm points he earned, the sooner he could use 399 to increase his height! Agent Zhang said that the taller the male model, the more popular. He had to quickly grow to at least 1.9 meters tall! Then he could convince his parents to let him drop out of school...
