Chapter 342: Zhu Qiao Dating-Sim System (2/2)
[More dialogue choices are available.]
[Okay, everything was my fault. Forgive us, please.] (Small chance to reconcile with Mao Miaomiao.)
[Don't be overbearing. I know that you're in trouble because Yuan Shaoqing has declared war against you. If you want the Zhu Clan as your allies, don't cross the line.] (Charisma +3, Favor -1, High chance of freeing your friends, High chance of exposing Mao Miaomiao's undercover status and become his enemy, High chance of canceling Mao Miaomiao's status as your conquer target.)
[You know what? Fine, make me your bitch. I'll fuck you until you're satisfied. Just… Leave my friends alone.] (Fame +10, Reset Mao Miaomiao's Favor Point to 50, Conquer Progress +30%, Lose your virginity to Mao Miaomiao, Become Mao Miaomiao's sex slave.)
Zhu Qiao's face was cramped as she read the choices. Again, the first choice was the safest, and the last choice was the riskiest. But this time, the second choice allowed her to cancel the previous decision and reset everything to where it was before. However, she and Miaomiao might become enemies afterward.
Once more, Zhu Qiao picked the safest choice.
”Okay, sir. Everything was my fault. Please forgive us and let us go.”
Miaomiao scoffed and rolled his eyes. He tossed spare clothes to the girls and walked away from Zhu Qiao's group.
”Get lost. I'm not in the mood to talk about our past grudge. I'm a busy man. Hey, Gan Xingba! How long are you going to ogle these bitches? Didn't you have enough pussies last night? Come on, let's head up and get this over with!”
Gan Ning's eyes became teary as he wanted to keep staring at the three beautiful succubi. He sulked and followed Miaomiao obediently.
The duo ascended the stairs, leaving Zhu Qiao's party alone.
Ding
[Mao Miaomiao has chosen to ignore you. He hasn't forgiven you yet.]
[Mao Miaomiao's Favor Point has increased by 2. The current Favor Point is -95.]
[Your friends are still infected with Mao Miaomiao's unknown Qi. He can still kill them.]
The crisis had been averted, but Zhu Qiao failed to rescue her followers. They were still under the threat of Mao Miaomiao's unknown skill.
”Young lady, we're sorry.”
The girls put on their clothes, but they looked sad. They blamed themselves for being their master's weaknesses.
”Let's keep going,” Zhu Qiao patted them and kept on moving forward. She too had another task to complete for her clan.
…
Miaomiao was in a bad mood as he stared at his system notification messages from the semi-transparent screen in front of him.
[Zhu Qiao has wished to reconcile. Will you forgive her?]
[You have chosen not to forgive her.]
[Warning, Zhu Qiao's unknown power has influenced your mind.]
[You are immune to hypnosis arrays and spells. Zhu Qiao's hypnosis spell has failed.]
Something wasn't right about Zhu Qiao during their conversation. While they had been talking, these messages showed up.
Of course, Miaomiao was not a forgiving person. He declined the request even though he was confused about what Zhu Qiao did.
'What the hell was that, Dion!?'
Miaomiao walked away from Zhu Qiao so that he could retreat and consult with Dion. After all, he was still wary of Zhu Qiao's overpowered items and her abilities.
Ding
[It's the effect of Zhu Qiao's automatic system. She tried to persuade you through the system's assistance feature.]
'Was it dangerous?'
[No. You still have the freedom of choice to either accept or decline her offers though her system might try to hypnotize you. Since you're immune to hypnosis and aphrodisiac, her system is harmless.]
'Ah, that's good.'
This was the first time that Miaomiao's system and someone else's system had communicated or influenced each other. It took him by surprise, but he was relieved that it couldn't do anything to him.
Still, it served as a warning that many protagonists might have similar abilities or systems. Miaomiao learned a lesson from this little squabble.
[OG-Buddha hopes that you can reconcile with Zhu Qiao.]
'Give me a quest, and I might reconcile with her.'
[OG-Buddha reprimands you for being too greedy.]
'No luck point, no work!'
Miaomiao grinned as he leaped over the five to six stair steps at once. He didn't even pay attention to the hidden landmine.
Gan Ning, who had been following close behind Miaomiao, detected them first. He stopped moving forward while he observed his boss from the 2,000th stair step.
Miaomiao's feet landed on the 2,007th step, where an explosion trap had been prepared for him.
BOOM
The landmine created a mushroom orange flame, engulfing Miaomiao whole.
A second later, the flame dispersed, revealing the victim.
Miaomiao raised his eyebrows and patted his burnt clothes. He also brought out a mirror to check his hair condition.
”Boss?” Gan Ning was concerned.
”Meh, it's nothing. I'm immune to fire element power. Let's keep going.”
Miaomiao proceeded forward and stepped on every landmine on purpose.
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
Every step he took, a flame explosion followed. Yet, Miaomiao was unharmed.
No one paid attention to the trembling katana, who had been devouring the fire element Qi from the landmines. KQ giggled and laughed like a hyena, but no one could hear her.
Gan Ning hopped on the places that Miaomiao had walked, tracing the footsteps and avoiding the remaining flame traps. Although his weight got heavier, Gan Ning circulated his yang essence into his legs and spine, persisting and enduring the pain.
Miaomiao reached the goal line 10 minutes later. As for Gan Ning, he traced the footsteps and dragged his feet to the top before nightfall.
Zhu Qiao's colleagues and others couldn't continue. They forfeited and walked down the stairs.
However, Zhu Qiao was smarter. She copied Gan Ning's action and reached the goal as well.
The test ended. Four people had passed the white tiger's test and earned the qualification to become Jiangdong White Tiger Sect's inner disciples.
