24 The System’s Evaluation (1/2)

[Processing answer.]

The system didn't delay and started calculating at once. Su Yan clenched his fists. Forget about that strange special task he had gotten, this one was the important one!

[Evaluating setting.]

[Evaluating characters.]

[Evaluating style.]

One after another, messages appeared on the screen. Su Yan's hands got sweaty and he rubbed them on his trousers. Why was this taking so long? The system had always been faster when processing the couples! Could it really be easier to find all the data on those people and check their compatibility than evaluating one short one-thousand words scene?

[Identifying problems.]

Su Yan bit his lower lip. Oh god! There really were problems with his text!

[Compiling suggestions for improvement.]

Su Yan's heart started to flutter. He couldn't sit still any longer. He leaped to his feet and started pacing up and down in front of the counter. How many things had he done wrong? Was his romantic encounter really this bad?

He covered his face with his hands but finally couldn't resist taking a peek. There was still the same damn message.

”Why are you still compiling?! Show me the damned results!”

”Su Yan?” Nie Chang frowned in the backroom. He could have sworn he had heard Su Yan's voice just now and it had somehow sounded angry. Could there be another customer? Mn, maybe he shouldn't leave him alone. Who knew if someone was making advances on him again.

Su Yan clasped a hand over his mouth. ”Uh … S— sorry!”, he shouted at the door. ”I … I was … trying voice-to-text.”

Nie Chang lifted a brow. There was no way this guy who was all thumbs when it came to technology would try something like speech-to-text. He was probably cussing out his notebook again. Nie Chang shook his head and continued to work. He had observed that strange habit of Su Yan's often enough. There was no reason to worry at all.

Su Yan listened if there was any movement in the background. Only when he was sure that Nie Chang wouldn't come over, did he heave a sigh of relief. He sat down again and stared at the Lovely Writing System with reproachful eyes. Couldn't it hurry up?!

As if the system had heard him, the message suddenly changed again.

[Appraising skill level.]

[Organizing results.]

The characters disappeared again and another window popped up. Su Yan shut his eyes and gulped. Could he really look? What if his results were really bad? What if the system told him that he had no talent?

He wanted to ignore it but, of course, the window wouldn't just go away. Finally, Su Yan couldn't help himself any longer. Even if the result was bad, he still wanted to know!

He opened his eyes and stared at the results of his hard work:

[Setting: 4/5

Characters: 1/5

Style: 3/5
