“Good morning, Grandma Chen.”
“Haha, I really can’t come over today. I need to go into work.”
Old Mrs. Chen was holding an ink painting appraisal event for those in the circle.
From what Chen Kexin had told her, most of the main attraction would be her work.
The old lady even invited many experts and planned to have them appraised a lot of the work. She wanted them to compliment on Gu Shishi’s work and make her Ink Painting Guru alias famed. That way the value of her work would increase by several folds afterward.
The old lady had extended her invitation a week ago.
But Gu Shishi had declined her politely.
It was just going to be a brown-nosing party in disguise.
And they would be brown-nosing her. She found it quite embarrassing to be there in person.
Besides, her identity would be revealed some day.
Had she been there today, people would recall her being there in person after her identity was revealed.
Any way she looked at it, it would be too embarrassing.
Besides, she was scheduled to work this weekend. That was the perfect excuse for her.
“Aye, little Shishi, such a bummer that you can’t come. Grandma misses you. When will you have time to come over for dinner?”
“I will. I will. When things slow down a some in a little while.”
Gu Shishi smiled.
Then, something occurred to her suddenly. “Grandma Chen, about the painting that I have mailed out yesterday…”
“Oh yeah, I got it. I got it! I got it last night and it was incredible, Little Shishi. Lucky I purchased insurance on it! My heart will ache even if it was dinged just a little bit. This painting is a whole level above your previous ones!”
Old Mrs. Chen’s voice was half an octave higher.
“You must have put a lot of work in it. How long did it take you? I am going to show all those people today.”
“Yeah, it was by far a medium-sized work that I had put the most time in.”
Gu Shishi put down her fork and told her the truth.
“It took me almost half a month’s time all in all.”
Everyday, all day long, for half a month.
Even though she was still going to work. But she spent almost four hours on this painting at night and in the morning.
And over 10 days’ time from the conversion of mid-level and beginner’s living the painting skill.
She noticed that this was a truly awesome skill.
She was able to exchange her health bar for extra time.
When she was experiencing inside the dimension, no time in the outside world had passed.
The mid-level ability gave her 10 hours a time. Meaning, in the blink of an eye, she had gained extra 10 hours for brain storming and comprehension.
As such, even though she had to work and prepare for her wedding, she was still able to squeeze out enough time to complete her first medium-size work that could affect others’ emotions.
Gu Shishi, too, looked forward to its effect a lot.
“Grandma Chen, do let me know of the responses on site. That way I can correct myself in the future.”
“Half a month…”
Old Mrs. Chen was even more amazed when she heard that.
“Don’t worry. I will take videos to show you!”
“Okay~ Thank you~”
Gu Shishi held her phone in her hand after she hung up.
From what she had learned from Chen Kexin, the Huo’s would be there as well.
She had prepared this painting specifically for Mrs. Huo.
Even if Mrs. Huo wouldn’t be there, she would still have asked Old Mrs. Chen to send the painting over to her afterward!
Gu Shishi let out a sigh, looked at the time, and jumped up into the air.
Meow meow! She was almost late for work again!
She was just about to dash out when she heard a chime from the system out of the blue.
[Main mission 4: Seal it with a kiss. Released!]
[Throughout time, many dream-like romances had risen to the next level through kisses. The progress of mankind, highly-intelligent brains, had led lovers to invent many different ways to kiss.]
[Details on the assignment: Complete three different styles of kisses. Noodle Kiss (0/1), coffee kiss (0/1), and tissue kiss (0/1)]
[Reward: Kiss to become healthier halo.]
Puuf—
Gu Shishi also lost her footing and ended up on her knees.
What the heck?!
[The host is progressing too slowly and the system must step in.]
[The system had collected many sweet, sweet scenes from the latest Korean drama and idol shows and created this assignment based on them.]
Gu Shishi was stunned speechless.
How could scenes from dog-food dramas be brought into real life?!!
Noodle kiss as in two people eating the same strand of noodle then ended up kissing?
Coffee… was she supposed to drink some coffee, left a ring of foam around her lips and wait for him to kiss it away?
Tissue kiss… was to kiss with a piece of tissue in between the two of them?
Could it be any more Mary Sue than that?
She quickly flipped to the details within the system.
The system had no shame! None whatsoever!
For every kiss, it included the clip from the specific show along with description of what the male and female leads had done.
Hot dang…
She had just puked blood and completed her shameless three hugs and three kisses.
[Host, there is no such thing as shame between lovers.]
[The more intimacy the better.]
[This wealthy wife has no family of her own to back her. She must hold on tight to her man.]
Gu Shishi, “……”
