Chapter 254 - Attribute Exchange (1/2)

“How is there a scandal already?”

“I didn’t see it coming either.”

Su Qingcen was in Bai Zhi’s room, a helpless expression on her face.

It began when several photos had surfaced online of Su Qingcen eating street food. Of course, there were also descriptions of why Su Qingcen was there in the first place and how everyone came to cooperate and watch her finish her food tour. This was no doubt an interesting topic.

And Meng Fan, the Iron Tower who had quieted everyone down, naturally became the subject of discussion. Once they began, everything attributed back to his fierce reputation. According to the netizens, the Iron Tower was like a turret, standing his ground. Who would dare enter his firing range? You’d be greeted by an American MMA body slam!

Then, just like when Meng Fan and Su Qingcen had left the street, some people also began raising doubts about whether the two were dating or not. It really was the plot of an idol drama.

Slowly, the situation had snowballed to where it is now.

“How are you guys going to deal with it?”

“Sister Jing is already dealing with it.” Su Qingcen was helpless, but she was relaxed as well. “There was nothing going on to begin with. All we have to do is clarify it.”

“That’s true. Don’t fret about it then; leave it to your management office to provide a statement.”

It was senseless to worry, and Bai Zhi was able to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Su Qingcen’s explanation. But then she stared at Su Qingcen, eyes full of wonder. “Qingcen, you quite like Meng Fan, don’t you?”

“Of course, I do!”

Su Qingcen then smiled. “Not the kind of ‘like’ you’re thinking about.”

“Haha what’s the difference between that ‘like’ and the one I’m speaking off.” Bai Zhi wasn’t beating around the bush. “I think Fan is a good kid. He’s tall and broad, and his features are nice, too. He loves to exercise now and, if he follows this regimen, he’ll be in good shape in no time — the kind who will get more handsome, too! Look at Caiwei’s incredible facial features, and you’ll understand. His personality is also a winner, he’s got a great temper and is very manly. Most importantly, he respects women. He’s masculine, but not in a toxic way. Plus, he’s very talented! I’m not trying to boast about my little brother here. I just think you two would be very compatible.”

“Sister Bai, why do these qualities all sound like traits you would like?” Su Qingcen retorted immediately. She glared at Bai Zhi. “Sis, don’t tell me you ‘like’ Meng boss?”

Bai Zhi admittedly responded: “Fan is the type of guy I like, but our age difference is too big. If I was your age, and only five or six years older than him, I’d be pursuing him in an instant. I really think Fan is a great kid, so I asked you. If you like him, I think it’s doable! Fan isn’t lacking in any category, he’ll definitely be good enough for your National Goddess status.”

Su Qingcen laughed as she shook her head. “Don’t make these random assumptions; Meng boss already has a girl he likes. Sis, let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s awkward and might cause misunderstandings.”

“How do I exchange this?”

Meng Fan took a shower and lay on his bed, pondering how to exchange his points.

Once the point exchange function appeared, Meng Fan analyzed it and then moved onto how he could increase his existing attributes.

The more times you redeem them, the more expensive it gets. He only had 18,500 points at the moment, so there was no way to pour it all into one attribute. It was much more valuable to spread them over multiple attributes.

Meng Fan counted. Presently, the system had awarded him with 18 attributes in total. Subtracting the attribute of Luck that couldn’t be increased, he could increase all of them by +1 with 17,000 points. This seemed to be the most valuable route.

But based on a utilitarian perspective, Meng Fan wasn’t going to increase all of them. At least, with the premise that he didn’t have many points, Meng Fan was going to hold off increasing the attributes he didn’t use often. He would also refrain from increasing attributes that are already at a high level, like his Drawing Skills, which wouldn’t increase much with +1 added anyways.

It was best to do this from a process of elimination.
