Chapter 54 - Fearsome Aunty (1/2)

“Beep! You’ve unlocked the task [Group Photo Guru].”

“Task requires 100 photographs to be taken with different kinds of people.”

“Upon completion, you will receive achievement title [Group Photo Guru] (Photogenic +1, Smile Appeal +1).”

He looked down, but there was only one task with no phases.

Presently, he had completed 10/100.

In other words, this was another task that was triggered after reaching a certain degree of accumulation, similar to the previous [Travelling Deity] task that was triggered after he had tallied 1000 meters.

That being the case, Meng Fan sighed in relief. He thought it had been the action of the aunty that had triggered the task, but it turns out she had just been the tenth in line.

If this aunty was really his “Task NPC”… He had difficulty just thinking about it.

Although there was only one process, there were still rewards, but only +100 achievement points, with no additional attributes.

It made sense if you think about it. The title attribute was already +1, so it made sense that phase rewards didn’t exist.

As for the attributes that came with the title… Meng Fan was baffled.

The photogenic attribute was understandable; as regardless of how he went about it, the task would have to be done in front of a camera. But what kind of metaphysical attribute is ‘smile appeal’…? Besides, he didn’t smile while they had taken the pictures before!

And most importantly, it had no equipment.

He looked back again and decided all the rewards came down to photogenic attribute +1, Smile appeal +1, and +100 achievement points. It was definitely the most underwhelming and stingy task the system had provided so far.

Although [Wealth Distribution Cherub] only rewarded +1 for an attribute, at least it was for “Luck +1″—It even sounded more advanced than the metaphysical attributes of validation and smile appeal.

Sigh. As he pondered it over, Meng Fan suddenly remembered something. It was when he had spent 1200 HXB treating Chen Da Qiang to dinner and the transfer counted towards his task process. Later, when Chen Da Qiang returned the money to him… He took a closer look at the progress bar. Meng Fan confirmed, the system would not deduct the existing progress.

“Is it because I genuinely wanted to treat them at the time, so the system judged it as wealth distribution, and left it alone?”

He held onto the thought for a moment without too much hesitation. After all, based on previous situations, Meng Fan didn’t have much need to analyze this task thoroughly.

As of now, the newly unlocked [Group Photo Guru] task was poor in terms of rewards, but no matter how he looked at it, it was by far the easiest task to accomplish. Like hunting rabbits while cutting grass, it could be done smoothly alongside other tasks. Meng Fan had to complete it.

The confident aunty saw Meng Fan’s strange expression, immediately dimming her mood. “Aiyo! When you were taking a picture with that other pretty girl you weren’t like this, but that’s not the case with me, why is your expression so ugly when it comes to me? This sort of different treatment is not a good look!”

Meng Fan yanked his thoughts back to reality, dumbfounded by the comment. He didn’t smile during the last photo either… was there really such a big difference between smiling and not smiling?

But what could he say, his environment growing up all cultivated him to never argue with a woman. It’s best if you can muddle your way through it, if not, playing cute works. If those don’t work, then avoiding them is the last resort.

The hardships of life had given Meng Fan wisdom. Weakly, he said, “You stepped on my foot.”

“Oh? Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” The confident aunty’s change in tone was quite fierce. “You’re such a nice young man, you wouldn’t judge someone by their appearance. Even so, I’m still passable! Even though I’m a bit older, but I’m still very good looking! Look at my daughter, you should be able to guess how pretty I was when I was younger!”

Meng Fan zealously nodded his head, feeling the flexibility in his neck evidently increase from his running task progress.
