The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 121 - 120: Xu Wenwan’s Opportunity Is Snatched
"Host, the system had issued a mission for a key opportunity that would have been very useful to you. However, that opportunity has now been ruined prematurely, which will have a major impact on the plot’s development."
The system’s voice was emotionless and mechanical; otherwise, it might have cracked just then.
Xu Wenwan’s expression soured even more.
"Who was it?"
"It cannot be determined."
"Then what do I do? Is there any way to salvage this?"
The system fell silent for a moment. "There is one method that can grant any of the Host’s wishes."
Xu Wenwan’s eyes lit up. "What method?"
"Unlock the Qi Fortune Value. By completing Qi Fortune Value missions, you can convert other people’s Qi Fortune into your own."
"The more powerful the person of fortune the Host comes into contact with, the more fortune you will absorb. You can then exchange it with the system for anything the Host needs."
’Xu Wenwan hadn’t expected such a good deal.’
She couldn’t help but blame the system for not telling her sooner.
’If she had unlocked the Qi Fortune Value earlier, wouldn’t she be overflowing with good fortune by now?’
"Good. Hurry and unlock the Qi Fortune Value for me."
"Once the Qi Fortune Value is unlocked, all missions become mandatory. If the Host fails to complete them, you will be punished."
The system’s voice remained unchanged, but Xu Wenwan felt as if it were secretly pleased.
Xu Wenwan’s triumphant expression froze. "Why didn’t you say so earlier? Why is there a punishment?"
"Host, opportunity and danger coexist. As long as the Host completes the missions properly, nothing will happen."
"Rest assured, Host. The system is bound to you; it will absolutely never harm you."
Xu Wenwan was still a bit skeptical, but after hearing the system’s words, she thought it made sense.
’She was the female lead of this world, after all.’
’Only when she prospered could the system prosper.’
"So, how do I absorb other people’s Qi Fortune?"
"The Host can only absorb Qi Fortune from members of the opposite sex, and only through physical contact. The longer the contact, the more Qi Fortune is absorbed. Any contact lasting less than thirty seconds is useless."
Xu Wenwan’s face completely darkened. ’What kind of strange rule is this?’
"So you’re saying I have to make physical contact with a lot of men? I refuse."
’She wasn’t that kind of loose woman. How could she do something like that!’
The system didn’t press her.
"Host, if you give up this opportunity, you will fail to meet a very important benefactor in your life."
"The Host’s ability to run a smooth business and live happily ever after with the male lead is all thanks to this benefactor’s constant protection. Without this benefactor, the Host’s life will change."
"Once this function is deactivated, it can never be activated again. And once activated, the Host must see the missions through to the end."
"Does the Host wish to deactivate the Qi Fortune Value?"
Xu Wenwan was torn.
"What will happen if I give up on this benefactor?"
"The female lead will be replaced, and the Host will likely be reduced to a cannon fodder side character," the system stated bluntly.
Xu Wenwan: ???
"Unlock it. Unlock it for me right now."
’This was her novel, the world she had created! How could she be reduced to a cannon fodder side character!’
This was something Xu Wenwan could never accept.
System: Qi Fortune Value Mission. Please find the world’s male lead, Yun Hao, and absorb his Qi Fortune.
Xu Wenwan hesitated.
"Mission Failure: The Host’s skin will darken by three shades."
"I’ll go find Yun Hao right away," Xu Wenwan agreed without a shred of hesitation.
’She was incredibly vain. Her charming face and fair skin were what she was most proud of. This punishment terrified her!’
And so, Xu Wenwan, who always loved to sleep in, uncharacteristically woke up early.
’At least, it was early for her.’
In reality, it wasn’t early at all.
Chen Xiaoli had already swept the courtyard and even fed the chickens.
When Xu Wenwan came out and saw Chen Xiaoli in the courtyard, she greeted her.
"Sister-in-law."
After saying that, she hurried out.
Chen Xiaoli frowned.
’It’s so early. Where is Xu Wenwan going again?’
