After reading the script, He Tiantian had no unusual reaction to the setting of the He Thian character.
Top-grade villain, whose existence is meant to highlight the Protagonist by facing various trials against him (or her).
He Thian seemed slightly better off than a Sacrificial Lamb; he stole secret recipes, poisoned food, and nearly destroyed the male lead’s culinary business.
Although he ultimately failed, he still managed to cause massive losses for the male lead.
From this perspective, he is more like a villain mini-boss.
Not like those bit players with just some top-grade behaviors He Tiantian had encountered before.
Of course, He Thian’s fate was the most tragic.
He schemed and targeted the male lead in every possible way, until the male lead had him thrown in jail.
In prison, because he was rather handsome, cough, he suffered bullying from certain inmates with special predilections.
In the end, he was played to death.
"...What a great character," He Tiantian said indifferently.
Student Xiao D: ...You might as well just complain directly, rant about it. When He Tiantian spoke sarcastically in such a calm tone, it felt even more chilling.
"Right, what is the task this time?"
He Tiantian stopped obsessing over the role she had been given in the script and went straight to the point.
It was best not to make her follow the plot.
That was the thing, He Tiantian didn’t want to be the villain; even if she did, she wanted a certain degree of autonomy.
Not to be completely controlled by the script, manipulated like a puppet, with every move forcibly regulated.
"This task, umm, let me see!"
Student Xiao D was also distracted, hurriedly checking the system’s requirements, "Collect the male lead’s anger value! 100 points to pass, no upper limit. The more points, the richer the rewards!"
Student Xiao D finished reading the task and was also puzzled, "Collect anger value? This, this is—" what kind of task.
"It’s simple, to get the male lead’s anger, you must infuriate him."
He Tiantian had a feeling of "as expected."
However, the task’s requirement fortunately did not cross He Tiantian’s psychological bottom line.
"Xiao D, how do you annoy someone? Of course, it’s by opposing him at every turn or doing things that make him unhappy, dissatisfied!"
He Tiantian continued to explain to Student Xiao D, she had even summarized it in one sentence, "In short, it’s about opposing the male lead."
And those who oppose the male lead are either top-grade relatives or malicious villains.
So, the script still required He Tiantian to maintain the original character setting.
Just not literally forcing He Tiantian to follow the original script and retrace every step.
This, it was a euphemistic way of demanding He Tiantian to follow the script.
But He Tiantian felt that was okay; as long as the system didn’t dictate every word, she had a way to cope.
"Tiantian? You, you’re not angry?"
After listening to He Tiantian patiently explain the task requirements, Student Xiao D felt uneasy inside.
It knew well that He Tiantian didn’t like being the villain and was highly resistant to "following the plot."
In the past, before He Tiantian had signed with the system, even if she failed, she wouldn’t face any punishment.
But now, He Tiantian had officially become a contracted writer with the Dian Niang System, and according to the contract, she had to complete the tasks issued by the system.
Otherwise, points would be deducted.
And this task was something He Tiantian was very resistant to. Logically, she should be angry.
At the very least, He Tiantian would have complained, venting some grievances to it, Student Xiao D.
But at this moment, He Tiantian clearly understood the task’s requirements and the intention behind the system’s task, yet she showed no sign of anger.
This was very abnormal.
Having grown accustomed to He Tiantian’s meticulous and relentless nature, seeing this calm and collected He Tiantian now made Student Xiao D even more uneasy.
Student Xiao D had every reason to suspect that He Tiantian was plotting something big.
He Tiantian glanced at Student Xiao D lightly, "Is getting angry useful? If I get angry, can you get the system to change the task for me, let me pull off a reverse and snatch the Protagonist Halo from the male lead?"
Student Xiao D shook its head frantically: No! It didn’t have that power.
He Tiantian said nothing more, but her meaning was clear.
Getting angry was pointless, so there was no use in being angry.
Her energy was precious and must not be wasted on futile things.
Student Xiao D shook its fluffy body, feeling even more uneasy deep inside.
