Chapter 178:
[Protagonist: Lin Chen]
[Combat Power: 5]
[Charm Value: 288]
[Protagonist Halo: 2999]
[Skills (Cheats): Child Prodigy System (Note: The more pretentious, the stronger! Successful pretense earns points, which can be exchanged for various abilities in the system), Master-level driving skills, Master-level stock trading skills, Master-level magic performance skills, Study God Halo, Intellect Reduction Halo (Note: Can reduce the villain's intelligence to 65 or below), Team Pet Halo (Note: When bullied by bad guys, the seven goddess sisters will transform into protectors), Immortal and Invulnerable Halo (Note: Protagonist Halo points below 1000 will become ineffective)]
Wang Haoran looked at Lin Chen's attribute panel information and was dumbfounded.
'Child Prodigy System, getting stronger by pretending?!'
'This Lin Chen also has a system with him!'
Wang Haoran thought War God was already a challenge, there was something even more challenging.
'An Immortal and Invulnerable Halo?'
'How the heck does that work?'
'Should I slowly take away his halo points?'
'But this guy has 2999 halo points. How long would it take to take them all?'
'Do I really have to win over all seven goddess sisters?'
'But this task is too difficult...'
"Sister, you're here too." Lin Chen heard Qiu Qianwei's voice and was surprised for a moment. His gaze shifted slightly, furrowing his brows as he looked at the other guy here besides himself.
[Ding, the Intellect Reduction Halo of the protagonist Lin Chen is about to take effect on the host. Once effective, the host's intelligence will be reduced to 65 or below (mildly intellectually disabled). The host has sufficient villain points. Should the host choose to spend 3000 villain points to purchase a Resistance Halo?]
After Lin Chen glanced at Wang Haoran, he immediately received a prompt message from the system.
Unless he purchased, he would become mildly intellectually disabled!
Does he have a choice?
Of course, he had to get it immediately.
[Ding, the host has spent 3000 villain points to purchase the Resistance Halo, which can immunize against all negative effects that reduce the host's various attributes.]
After hearing the prompt message from the system again, Wang Haoran breathed a sigh of relief.
"Three beautiful sisters, I haven't finished my magic trick yet. Can I continue now?" Lin Chen didn't care about Wang Haoran, but smiled again at Xu Muyan, Mu Zhaoshao, and Wen Jing.
"What's going on?" Wang Haoran immediately asked after hearing this.
"Haha, it's like this. This kid said he could do magic tricks, turning leaves into flowers. Of course, we didn't believe it. He insisted on betting on us, saying that if he succeeded, we would all be his girlfriends." Mu Zhaoshao explained with a smile.
"After we received your call, we didn't want to pay attention to him, but he followed us." Xu Muyan added.
"We thought he was joking," Wen Jing also said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Haoran secretly complained.
'Are all these protagonists the same? Always betting on the female lead, trying to trap her into being their girlfriend?'
'Can't they try something new?'
"Sorry, my brother is a bit mischievous, sorry to embarrass everyone," Qiu Qianwei said embarrassedly to everyone, then prepared to take Lin Chen away.
"Sister, I'm not leaving. If I leave, I'll lose three girlfriends all at once!" Lin Chen refused to leave, saying to Xu Muyan and the others, "Three beautiful sisters, you have to keep your promise."
"They agreed to be your girlfriends if they lost, but what if you lost? What would you do then?" Wang Haoran interjected.
"I won't lose!" Lin Chen said confidently.
"You little brat, you only talk about what happens if they lose, but not what happens if you lose. Isn't that unfair?" Wang Haoran sneered.
"I bet with these three beautiful sisters, not with you." Lin Chen retorted.
"You little brat, what he's saying is what we mean," Wen Jing immediately jumped out to defend.
"Agreed!" Xu Muyan followed.
"That's right, you're being unfair. We don't want to bet with you." Mu Zhaoshao naturally stood on Wang Haoran's side.
"Alright, then tell me what you want me to do if I lose the bet?" Lin Chen could only say.
Xu Muyan, Mu Zhaoshao, and Wen Jing couldn't think of anything for a moment.
"How about I suggest? If you lose, you'll... You'll let your sister be my girlfriend," Wang Haoran suggested.
"You're dreaming!" Lin Chen immediately objected.
"You little brat, it seems like you're the one dreaming, trying to trap three girlfriends at once?" Wang Haoran mocked.
Lin Chen was speechless.
"My brother was joking, don't take it seriously," Qiu Qianwei didn't want to get involved, so she immediately sorted out the scene.
"I'm not joking!" Lin Chen insisted, "Sister Qianwei, let's do as he said!"
"Xiao Chen, this..." Qiu Qianwei was taken aback.
"Sister Qianwei, don't you have faith in me?" Lin Chen asked.
"Well... Alright." Qiu Qianwei agreed.
Her genius little brother always did unexpected things, and since he said so, it's probably okay.
After discussing it, Lin Chen was ready to start his performance.
"Wait a minute!" Wang Haoran suddenly said, circling around Lin Chen, patting his pockets with his hands, as if he wanted to see if there was anything inside.
Lin Chen stood still, but inside, he smiled.
His magic had reached a very high level, and he could hide some magic props on himself without leaving any traces.
"It's okay now," Wang Haoran said again.
"Watch carefully, this is a leaf..." Lin Chen first showed the leaf to everyone, then folded it up and began to knead it in his palm.
During this process, he used his superb magic skills to immediately switch the leaf with the magic props hidden on his body.
"Dear audience, open your eyes wide, you are about to witness the moment of miracle," Lin Chen said mysteriously, then opened his palm:
"Change!"
In the palm of his hand, there was nothing. The leaf was gone, but there was no flower either.
"Shouldn't it change into a flower? Where's the flower?"
"Is this it? Is this it?!"
"I feel like my intelligence is being insulted..."
Xu Muyan, Mu Zhaoshao, and Wen Jing exclaimed one after another.
'How could this happen? Where are my magic props?'
Lin Chen was puzzled.
He distinctly remembered hiding the prepared flower up his sleeve. How could it suddenly disappear? Could it be that he dropped it on the road while chasing after these three beautiful sisters just now?
It must be so!
[Ding, the host has stolen magic props, successfully prevented the protagonist Lin Chen from pretending, gained 500 villain points, Lin Chen's protagonist halo -25, host's villain halo +25!]
Seeing Lin Chen's puzzled expression, Wang Haoran smiled without saying a word.
"I made a mistake, let me try again. I'll definitely make it work this time!" Lin Chen, relying on being a child, directly resorted to being a rogue.
Wang Haoran couldn't be bothered by him, and walked directly to Qiu Qianwei:
"Miss Qiu, from now on, you are my girlfriend. I hope you will take good care of me."
"I..." Qiu Qianwei's face froze.
She never thought Lin Chen would lose...
"Miss Qiu, do you want to back out on the bet?" Wang Haoran smiled and asked.
