Su Mo was enchanted by her smile, but soon, he shook those thoughts out of his head and regained his composure.
[As expected, she knows.]
"Miss Yang, are you a reborn person or something?"
"No, I have been myself since my birth. I never had the world-crossing experience like you, a transmigrator." Yang Qingxi said with a faint smile.
"You know?!" Su Mo looked startled.
"That’s what my system told me. Even the novel was given to me by the system."
Since she has decided to bet, she doesn’t bother to hide these things and comes clear.
"So, you are a person with a system!"
Su Mo nodded in understanding, then, as if he realized something, a look of shame appeared on his face.
[Damn it, no wonder she was so silent in the car back then. She must have been watching the fun when I bragged about my hardcore training in the mountains to Sister Xulin.]
’Is that the point? Shouldn’t his focus be on my system?’
Yang Qingxi laughed inwardly while also speechless at Su Mo’s train of thought.
"You don’t look as surprised as I expected you would be."
Su Mo shrugged. "It’s not as surprising as crossing the world."
"Hmm, that’s true."
"But why are you willing to trust me on this secret? You know, we are basically strangers. I could capture you and force you to hand over those benefits you receive from your system."
"Then I can only blame myself for having a bad eye for judging people. Even if I lose my freedom, or maybe my life, I will take this bet."
Although she said this in a calm tone. From her trembling fingers, Su Mo could notice her nervousness. It must have taken her a lot of courage to make such a decision.
[No wonder she is in a hurry to take me by her side. A world full of cheating protagonists and she, as a villainess, would attract their hatred. Anyone would be nervous.]
Yang Qingxi bit her lips, hiding her inner anxiety. Yes, Su Mo guessed it right. Since the day she was bound to the system and learned about the secrets of the world. Her identity as a villainess. She hadn’t had a good night’s sleep.
She is constantly in a tense state of mind. Always worried that many cheating protagonists would appear suddenly before she had the time to grow up, and she would become a stepping stone for them.
Only after the appearance of Su Mo, a transmigrator. An odd one among the various protagonists did she change her mind.
Maybe she doesn’t have to fight alone.
Su Mo could understand her thoughts of wanting to tie him in the same boat as her. Although it may sound unethical, Su Mo doesn’t care.
Besides, she put her trust in him, a stranger, so much with her life. To be honest, it touched him.
It doesn’t matter what her agenda was. What matters is that she took a step that could cost her, her life.
[This woman shared such an important secret with me. She must be completely head over heels for me.]
This time, Yang Qingxi wasn’t annoyed by Su Mo’s narcissistic thoughts; rather, she was excited. Since Su Mo had such thoughts. Which means she made the right bet.
Just to be sure, she even spent 10 points to see Su Mo’s current hostility value.
[Hostility Index - Su Mo: 5]
[Comment - Since you trust him, he is also willing to trust you. He will have less resistance if you try to sleep with him.]
’Sure enough, He is a person who reciprocates sincerity with sincerity.’
As for the latter sentence, she simply chose to ignore it. She was already getting accustomed to his shamelessness.
"Since Miss Yang believes me. Don’t worry, I won’t break your trust."
"I hope so," Yang Qingxi said with a light smile. However, she wasn’t worried because his heart wouldn’t lie.
"Well, there’s also another reason I told you about the system."
"Huh? What’s that?"
"So that you can help me better pluck the wool from the system."
"Don’t tell me. That’s what you were after from the beginning." Su Mo asked with suspicious eyes.
Having her thoughts exposed, a light blush appeared on Yang Qingxi’s cheeks.
Yes, Su Mo guessed it correct. Because this is the main purpose of her conversation today with him.
She had this idea. After she had harvested Ye Chen’s luck before.
In that scene, Su Mo was the one who did everything, but she still received those benefits. This made her wonder, can she get Su Mo’s help to harvest more and more luck in the future?
However, this still needs to be tested. Under what conditions does she count as a behind-the-scenes manipulator?
While hiding her shame, Yang Qingxi stared into Su Mo’s eyes without evasion and asked back. "What? Is that wrong?"
"No, I just felt like I wasted my sentiments."
Su Mo uttered with a speechless look. Then brought the topic back on track.
"So anyway, what kind of system do you have?"
"Destiny Villainess System!"
"What are its functions?" Su Mo asked, with a contemplative look.
Yang Qingxi explained to him some of the basic information about her system. Like fighting against the protagonists, taking or destroying their opportunities, harvesting their luck to get luck points, purchasing items in exchange for luck points from the system to strengthen herself and a special reward based on the rating after a protagonist is dealt with.
"So, why don’t I just kill Ye Chen? Will you get the reward?"
"Nope, we can’t do that. First, I need to have more luck value than Ye Chen before I kill him. Otherwise, I will suffer unforeseeable consequences. Besides, it’s just a waste to kill him without emptying his luck value. Who knows how strong the latter protagonists will be? Ye Chen is better to be kept alive in the novice period until his value is exhausted."
"Wow, you are dark. You talk as if you are raising pigs."
"Is there any difference?"
Yang Qingxi flicked her hair in nonchalance.
"Don’t insult pigs, okay?" Su Mo chuckled.
"So, what is Ye Chen’s current luck?"
