However, just as he was about to complete the Silver mission, Su Yang suddenly realized something important…
‘I can’t add any more points for myself!
‘The points system is very clear cut, Random points will add points for anything, Bronze points are for skills, Silver points are for myself and Gold points goes to the system.
‘The most important thing would be the Gold points.
‘Everytime I obtained a Gold Point, It would automatically be added to the system and the upper limit for additional points would be unlocked.
‘Until now, I have only obtained 2 Gold points which have been added to the system. Therefore, my maximum limit would be +3.
‘However, I already have 2 silver abilities…
‘Thus, I have reached the limit from adding more points for my Silver abilities and can’t go any further.
‘F*ck.
‘At the moment, I’m not rich on Silver points and I haven’t got a stable method of obtaining Silver points. Hence, I can’t waste it on unlocking other people’s [Affinity] or adding points to my Silver abilities.’
Su Yang was really troubled…
‘It seems like even though the Silver mission is about to be completed, I still have to work hard to complete a Gold mission!’
As for the Gold mission… It involved having to change having to change aspects of a business positively. Su Yang opened it and looked at the Gold mission. Perhaps it was because of the popularity of “Fighting The Buddha” and the raging popularity of Su Yang’s TikTok videos, but recently, Su Yang’s “Influenced People” have risen sharply. In just half a month, the number increased by 7,000 people.
The number of people influenced was about to reach 30,000 people.
[Gold Quest: Road To Zenith (3)]
Mission Objective: Lead your business to influence 100,000 people and change them positively.
Mission Completion Requirement: 27576 / 100000
Furthermore, he had unknowingly gained 6,742 coins. Moreover, that was after he had already added points to Janet and Dagger Girl.
In any case, Su Yang had managed to save up a bunch of assets.
However, despite the vast amount of assets he had, it was just enough for him to spend. After all, a [Silver Prize Voucher] cost 6 to 7 thousand coins and a [Bronze Prize Voucher] cost 2 to 3 thousand coins. Therefore, Su Yang could only purchase a few vouchers with that amount of coins.
‘My top priority right now shouldn’t be to complete the Silver mission, but to find a way to influence more people in my company positively. In other words, I have to earn more money!
‘However… Society is so tough nowadays. Everyone watches movies for entertainment and plays on social media just to be happy, hence who would want to be educated of their own free will?
‘Although someone would definitely be able to change positively when they use my app through interaction or receiving help from others due to my large base of users, the chance of it happening is too slim. In a way, it would be purely based on luck, isn’t it?
‘Is there any way to quickly obtain coins and increase the number of people influenced?’
Just as Su Yang was feeling troubled, he suddenly saw the ginseng root that Janet brought over to treat his wound two days ago.
‘His eyes lit up. ‘Maybe… [Sanque’s Oral Fluid] could do the trick.’
‘Even though I’ve got quite a few companies, most of them are either internet or entertainment companies. Therefore, no matter how many users there were and how many audiences there were, it would still be too difficult to influence them.
‘However, [Sanque’s Oral Fluid] could directly improve one’s health, so could it positively influence others more efficiently?’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang gave Sanque a call to ask about the situation.
However, he found out that they had not bought the various manufacturing equipment for the oral fluid, hence they had not started production yet.
‘Fine, I’ll just have to wait for the 50 million yuan loan to arrive before I can launch a series of opportunities.
‘Anyway, the Silver Mission is about to be completed and the Gold Mission isn’t that urgent. I could take this opportunity and rest for a while.
‘I could pursue Guo Xiaoying… no, increase her [Affinity] and complete Qu Xuan’s mission.
‘While I’m at it… I could find out more about the $1.3 billion yuan project from her.’
So, on Friday, Su Yang finally stopped skipping class and went to school.
Frankly, Su Yang was not someone who liked to show off. He believed that he had the mentality of an older person who could endure hardships. Therefore, even though the Mercedes-Benz was parked in the garage of his villa, he still ran to school.
Of course… The bad traffic during the early peak hours at Shanghai was also the reason he chose to do so…
When he arrived at school, Su Yang ran and waved to the people who greeted him on the way, giving him the illusion that he was actually a celebrity.
When they arrived at the school building, Su Yang bumped into Chu Xia, who was walking out of the school building.
Chu Xia was dressed very beautifully that day. She wore a perfectly ironed pleated short skirt that revealed her long legs. The short skirt was emerald green, making her look like a vibrant grass. Coupled with the ponytail on her head, she looked especially like the Ying Grass from “Onmyoji”.
It had been a long time since he last saw Chu Xia. The moment he saw her, Su Yang’s eyes lit up and he felt that Chu Xia had become even more beautiful. He took the initiative to greet her, “Hi, Chu Xia.”
He was obviously very enthusiastic, but Chu Xia acted like she did not hear him at all and walked past him.
Su Yang was confused.
‘What’s happened?
‘Why is she ignoring me?
‘I… I’m not even wearing the [Raincoat That Likes Bad Weather].’
Su Yang shook his head and turned to look at Chu Xia. He realized that Chu Xia had really left without even turning back.
‘What…
‘Could I have misrecognized her?
‘Is she Chu Xia’s sister?’
Su Yang shook his head and headed to the classroom.
There was no class during the first session that day and the second session was Qu Xiaomeng’s English lesson. After Su Yang entered the classroom, he habitually hid in the last row.
He walked to the last row and took out Little Deeny. ‘Should I send Guo Xiaoying a WeChat message to ask her out.
‘After all, the [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass] can only take effect when I meet the target in person.’
At that thought, Su Yang sent her a WeChat message. ‘Are you in military training?’
‘Surprisingly, her [Affinity] hasn’t dropped this time.’
After a while, Guo Xiaoying replied, ‘Would I be able to attend class if I wasn’t at military training?’
Su Yang was speechless.
‘You’re playing with your phone during military training?’
However, Su Yang wasn’t an instructor, so he couldn’t be bothered if she was slacking off. He replied, ‘Are you available to meet up this afternoon?’
…
Just as Su Yang expected, Guo Xiaoying was not at the military training camp. She was holding Xue Ya’s hand as they squatted in a corner on the third floor of the school building. From time to time, she would stand up and peek downstairs.
Beside her, Xue Ya’s heart was pounding. She whispered to Guo Xiaoying, “Xiao Ying, is he… gone?”
Guo Xiaoying bent down again and peeked her head out. She squatted down and said in a low voice, “Not yet, but he can’t find us, so he should be leaving soon.”
Xue Ya gulped and nodded carefully.
After nodding, she asked softly, “Will… will he be okay?”
Guo Xiaoying glared at her. “What? What problem could he possibly be in? Xue Ya, have you fallen for that scumbag?”
Hearing Guo Xiaoying’s words, Xue Ya shook her head like a rattle-drum. “No, of course not. How could I have fallen for him?”
Guo Xiaoying looked at her suspiciously and snorted. “Hmph, you had better not.”
Then she added, “Otherwise, I’ll castrate that scumbag!”
Xue Ya held her chest and blinked behind her glasses. “Little Ying, you can’t be so vulgar.”
Guo Xiaoying glared at her but didn’t listen to her. She straightened her right hand into a knife and made a few gestures as if she was going to castrate her.
Obviously, to Guo Xiaoying, persuasion was useless.
Xue Ya blushed at her vulgar actions and turned away from her.
Guo Xiaoying snorted proudly and went back downstairs to observe.
In her line of sight, Qu Xuan was covered in ink and his face was dyed black and white like a panda and was hopping around like a mad person! He shouted as he jumped, “My newly bought AJ! Guo Xiaoying, you bastard!”
Guo Xiaoying was laughing so hard that her eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. She put on a cunning face and pulled Xue Ya up by the waist. She said in a low voice, “Let’s go. We’ll sneak out from the back and go back for military training.”
Xue Ya’s eyes twitched. As Guo Xiaoying led her away, she whispered, “But this is a sports faculty, how are we going to go back?”
Guo Xiaoying smiled proudly and said, “I borrowed a tandem bicycle last night and rode it here awhile ago. It’s parked by the back door.”
Xue Ya adjusted her black-framed glasses. “Then why didn’t we ride here this morning?”
Guo Xiaoying was speechless
Then, she said angrily, “I didn’t think that much! I forgot that we were going to come over this morning while I was preparing last night.”
Then, she stopped talking and dragged Xue Ya downstairs.
They had just gone down a flight of stairs when her WeChat rang.
Guo Xiaoying checked her WeChat and read the message from the pretentious senior. ‘Are you in military training?’
Guo Xiaoying was impressed by the senior’s ability to communicate with girls. ‘Senior, could you stop asking such silly questions? What a straight arrow!’
However, she might be used to Su Yang’s straightforward opening, hence her [Affinity] for him did not “drop”. Instead, she casually replied, ‘Would I be able to attend class if I wasn’t at military training?’
In reality, both girls had indeed used
“stomachache” as an excuse to escape from military training to prank on Qu Xuan.
A moment later, another message came from WeChat.
Su Yang texted ‘Are you available to meet up this afternoon?’
Guo Xiaoying paused and looked at the message on WeChat. She was deep in thought.
Xue Ya leaned forward curiously and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Guo Xiaoying put her phone into her pocket and pretended to be fine. “It’s nothing, really. It’s just a WeChat ad.”
With that, she let go of Xue Ya’s hand and strode down the stairs.
Xue Ya looked at Guo Xiaoying’s back. Behind her black-rimmed glasses, her eyes were filled with curiosity. ‘Advertisement… on WeChat? ‘Does WeChat have advertisements as well?
…
Soon, Su Yang received a WeChat message from Guo Xiaoying. [I’m occupied at the moment. I’ll contact you in the afternoon. Wait for me in the small garden behind the teacher’s building.]
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Why do I feel like a spy meeting his handler…
‘Something feels off with this girl somehow…’
