After Favorability Is Maxed

Chapter 2

I Don’t Think Even a Ghost Can Stop Me

Gu Siyin’s small hands were twisted together as she looked at Liu Yuan with tears in her eyes. However, she saw the grave expression on that black-haired and black-eyed young man’s expression. He was looking at her with a thoughtful gaze, and she could not help but feel uneasy.

The day before yesterday, she had heard that the useless young master of the Xue clan had once again come to propose marriage. She had thought that her father would definitely not agree. However, a few days later, the cultivation sect behind the Xue clan, the Water Moon Dock, had sent two disciples to pressure her. They had set a date today to get her to try on the wedding dress...

However, Gu Siyin already had someone else in her heart, and it was this young man in front of her.

She still did not know his identity and background. She only knew that he was a seriously injured man who was picked up from the mountains by a guest elder of her clan. However, she had already decided that she would only marry this young man in this life.

The young girl sobbed softly and said, “Brother Jun Xuan ... What should I do? I, I don’t want to marry that trash from the Xue clan... If he didn’t have the Water Moon Dock’s support, how, how would he dare to come back and propose marriage... Sob, sob...”

As she spoke, she began to cry again. Her face was full of tears, and she looked very pitiful. Her petite body trembled slightly, like a little rabbit, afraid to jump into the arms of the cold-looking Liu Yuan. She only reached out her small white hands from under her sleeves and gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.

“Um...” Liu Yuan was still in a daze, thinking that he had seen it wrong. However, Gu Siyin pulled him and took a closer look. It was still the same progress bar.

Above Gu Siyin’s head, it swayed left and right with her movements.

It was a very abrupt 2D style. The exquisite ink rendering had some special effects of peach flowers flying in the air, and it was a very girlish pink.

“Hiss ... Did I transmigrate with the game system?”

The corner of Liu Yuan’s eyes twitched. He was very familiar with this thing. This was the favorability bar in Shangyang, or rather, the progress bar for conquering the girl in the game!

In the game, the conquering strategy system was paired with the card collection system.

The character bestiary could be obtained through card drawing, battle, or conquering strategy. The colors were gold, black, and pink, and the character’s attitude toward the player was also different.

Liu Yuan’s illustrated handbook was almost all in pink, all of which were characters that had been conquered and had maxed out their favorability.

Favorability had a total of ten levels, but they were not stacked in a positive way. Instead, they were separated from the middle, with five slots on each side.

Favorability levels:

-50: Blood feud

-40: Irreconcilable

-30: Turning against each other

-20: Disgusted by each other

-10: Disagreement

0: Neutral

10: Acquaintance

20: Like-minded

30: Growing old together

40: A vow of love

50: Undying love

Only one side would light up, and the other side would be hidden at the same time. The favorability bar above the girl’s head that Liu Yuan saw was a full positive, undying love!

“But... That’s not right. I didn’t see any other options in the System’s menu.” Liu Yuan denied his own guess and felt a little suspicious. All he could see was the lonely progress bar hanging above the girl, as well as the ‘Undying love’ sign.

It was useless to try to call out to the System in his mind. There was only one progress bar.

He had transmigrated with only the favorability system. From the looks of it, it was very likely that it was after Liu Yuan had completed his last achievement, which meant that the ten-over pages of characters were all in a state of full favorability!

Liu Yuan’s heart was beating fast. According to his strategy, he was f*cking invincible!

‘I don’t think even a ghost can stop me,’ he thought.

He took a deep breath. The most important thing now was to calm down and figure out the situation.

After all, he had transmigrated into a highly-skilled Xianxia online game, and it was still a question of whether he could keep his life and meet those characters.

Thinking of this, he composed himself. Other than the favorability, his greatest reliance was the game plot.

Liu Yuan’s gaze fell on the young girl. If he wanted to know more, he had to start with this girl.

However...

There was a very tricky problem. Although he was good at conquering characters, it was extremely difficult for him to deal with real people.

It was embarrassing, but he had lived for 19 years and had never held hands with a girl who was less than 10 years older than him...

How should he speak in a gentle and polite manner?

Liu Yuan thought for a moment.

There was silence.

What, what if I can’t open my mouth?

I’m really sorry that I’m an otaku who’s afraid of socializing!

In front of a computer, he was a laughing and talking idiot, but in front of other people, he was an autistic child. Yes, we’re talking about the God of Conquering Strategy, Liu Yuan.

Gu Siyin sniffled and lowered her head. Her tears fell onto the blanket and she said sullenly, “I know, I know that Brother Jun Xuan must be in a difficult position. The Water Moon Dock is a cultivation sect, and a Jianghu force like Chiyu Villa can’t resist it at all, let alone one person. I, I just... Sob, sob...”

She choked and shook her head. “No, no...”

The young girl hurriedly used the back of her hand to wipe away her tears, but she would not stop it no matter what. Her heart was anxious, and she could not help but blame herself. She was just adding to Brother Jun Xuan’s psychological burden by saying all this, right?

But... She really did not want to marry anyone other than Liu Yuan.

The girl was crying and wiping her tears as she tried to hold them back. It was too unbearable. Liu Yuan was dumbfounded as he tried to think of a way to talk to her.

“What, what should we do in this situation?”

Liu Yuan’s scalp went numb and he roared in his heart. He felt like he was facing a crayfish. Although he wanted to grab it and put it into the pot, he did not know where to start.

He looked at Gu Siyin’s hand that was still holding on to the corner of his shirt, refusing to let go. He hesitated for a moment before reaching out to hold that slightly cold hand. He held it carefully as if he was holding the pincers of a crayfish.

So small, so soft ... Is this a girl’s hand?

After all, girls were not crayfish. They did not have a hard shell, but only a soft and infatuated heart.

Liu Yuan’s heart was touched, and his palm took the girl’s white and soft hand.

Gu Siyin stopped wiping her tears and looked up in a daze. She saw Liu Yuan smiling faintly. Then, the young man reached out his other hand and touched her head, ruffling her hair.

Liu Yuan felt that his face was about to stiffen from nervousness. He twitched the corner of his mouth and tried his best to lower his voice so as not to scare the rabbit-like girl. “I know. Don’t be afraid.”

The girl was stunned when she heard these words. Then, she suddenly burst into tears and threw herself into Liu Yuan’s arms. Her petite body curled up like a rabbit that had finally found its nest, rubbing against Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan’s body stiffened. After a long time, he reached out and gently patted the girl’s back.
