YM778.TV Chapter 17
【Current character affection】
【Xiao Yecao: -20 (You might have scared her with your ugliness)】
When Li Muyang took the little girl and left, a system interface suddenly popped up in his field of vision.
He glanced back at the little girl beside him and thought, this kid’s affection towards me is actually -20?
No wonder her health bar turned red.
But with an affection system, now this is the galgame-like game that Li Muyang is familiar with.
With affection points, he can strategize his approach.
He first took the little girl back to his stilt house and rummaged around, finding an old, slightly tattered piece of clothing.The clothes were a size too small, but with a bit of alteration, they would just about fit the little girl.
She was dirty and even had a bit of a smell.
Nurturing naturally starts with cleaning and dressing her, so first, I need to transform her appearance, at least make her less scruffy.
Li Muyang heated a pot of water, then mixed the hot and cold water in a wooden tub to make it lukewarm, and said to the little girl beside him,
“Go take a bath first and change your clothes.”
He put on a kind smile, trying to show his friendliness to the little girl.
However, he saw the character’s affection level drop again in the top right corner after he said this.
【Xiao Yecao: -40 (She wants to kill you)】
The sudden drop in affection left Li Muyang baffled.
What’s going on with this kid?
I’m being so sincere, and she wants to rip out my heart and lungs?
This drop in affection is so inexplicable…
But on the surface, the dirty little girl hesitated for a moment before nodding timidly and obediently.
Then she raised her hands as if she was going to undress right there.
Li Muyang was startled by her action and quickly waved his hands to stop her.
“Wait a minute. I’ll step out, and then you can bathe.”
After saying that, he hurriedly ran out of the house, leaving the little girl inside.
At that moment, Li Muyang suddenly guessed why the little girl’s affection for him had decreased.
—Does this brat think I was going to watch her bathe?
At such a young age, why so many wicked thoughts?
You little yellow-haired kid, you’re flat, short, and have skinny arms and legs.
How could I have any interest in you?
Li Muyang sat at the entrance of the stilt house, listening to the sounds of bathing from inside, his expression troubled.
This Xiao Yecao seems obedient and well-behaved, but she’s actually rebellious, probably plotting when to stab Li Muyang.
No wonder the system identified her as a female lead with the potential to grow into a great poison, so young yet so deep in thought, and even knows how to endure humiliation to deceive others.
At this moment, Li Muyang just wanted to take a deep breath and exclaimed that this child must not be kept.
After a while, a timid voice came from inside the house.
“Elder Brother, I… I’m done washing…”
Just by the sound of her voice, she seems like a soft, cute, and adorable little girl.
However, Li Muyang glanced at the favorability bar in the upper right corner.
【Xiao Yecao: -50】
Goodness, the favorability has dropped again.
What the hell is this little girl thinking about all day…
Li Muyang carefully pushed open the door and saw the little girl, who had changed into the villagers’ clothes, sitting timidly on the edge of the bamboo bed.
Her wet hair draped over her shoulders, and her freshly washed face was flushed with a hint of baby fat.
As he was about to speak to the little girl sitting on the bed, she suddenly said,
“Elder Brother, what’s your name?”
The little girl asked timidly.
The moment she asked, a system dialogue box appeared in Li Muyang’s field of vision.
【Me? My name is Leng Aqi】
【You can call me _____ (Please enter your chosen ID)】(After choosing an ID, the character’s appearance can be reshaped)
Li Muyang blinked at the sudden appearance of the new option.
You can choose your own ID and customize your appearance?
Does this mean the game is officially starting now?
Curious, Li Muyang selected the second dialogue box, and instantly his perspective changed.
Originally, he was looking at the little girl from Leng Aqi’s point of view, but after choosing the second option, his perspective shifted, moving around the room and finally settling on the face of an ugly man dressed in the southwestern villagers’ attire.
The man’s face bore a sleazy smile, and a black mole with hair on his right cheek made him look even more repulsive.
It was a face that seemed inherently unlikeable.
F*ck? Is the system-generated character this ugly?
No way, I must customize the face.
Li Muyang was not a gamer looking for show effects.
Still, how could he play the game with such an ugly face?
He might not be obsessed with looks, but he couldn’t stand such an ugly game character.
Li Muyang began to boldly customize the face, constantly adjusting the game character’s facial features and hair.
After a full hour, he finally had a face that was quite pleasing to the eye.
In the stilted house, the young man dressed in villagers’ clothing had a refreshing smile, a sharp and handsome face, and an extraordinary aura.
A small section of a ponytail that fell over his shoulder is also added.
This face was modeled after Li Muyang himself, with features approximately seventy percent similar to his own but with added brightness and innocence.
At first glance, he truly looked like a sunny and innocent village youth.
Now that the game character’s face was almost done, Li Muyang entered his ID.
“…Jiang Xiaoyu, my name is Jiang Xiaoyu.”
Inside the stilted house, Li Muyang spoke out the new ID.
At the same time, he looked at the little girl’s face, wanting to see if she would react to the sudden change in his appearance.
But clearly, the little girl showed no reaction to Li Muyang’s sudden transformation into a handsome face. It was as if that was how Li Muyang had always looked from the beginning.
“Jiang Xiaoyu elder brother…”
The little girl murmured the name as if trying to remember it.
On the surface, she showed no change.
However, in the top right corner of Li Muyang’s field of vision, the character’s favorability rating had now changed to 【Xiao Yecao: 0】.
The little girl’s health bar had also shifted from the hostile blood-red color to the pale yellow of a neutral entity.
—This little girl no longer harbored any hostility towards Li Muyang!
Li Muyang didn’t believe for a second that just by saying a name, he could make the little girl’s favorability increase so much.
So, the only reason her favorability shot up from -50 to 0 had to be one thing.
It was because Li Muyang had become more handsome!
Damn, this brat was actually a sucker for good looks!
With the same identity and circumstances, just a change of face could alter her attitude so drastically.
Li Muyang looked at the well-behaved and cute little girl in front of him, somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
