Chapter 2: Me, flirting with the aloof senior sister? Really?
"Old Salty?" Lin Xiaofan was taken aback, then looked at the pendant in his hand. "You're 'Electronic Salty Fish'?!"
He jumped out of bed excitedly: "Haha... I get it, the three-day period has arrived, welcome..."
You've been watching too many short dramas!
Old Xian interrupted.
[Let me make this clear beforehand, I'm not a "golden touch," so I don't know how to serve rich people... Hey! What are you doing?!]
"Throw away the trash." Lin Xiaofan raised his hand, facing the window, ready to throw the electronic salted fish.
[Tsk! Here you go!]
A flash appeared before Lin Xiaofan's eyes, and the panel appeared on its own:
[Rebelliousness Value -7777]
[Task: Be humiliated 3 times, completion rate 2/3]
[The Rebellious Armament has not yet been activated]
"What is this?"
[The cheat code you wanted... uh, I mean the "golden finger" you wanted, I borrowed a little bit of rebellious loan for you and modified the system that was originally used to restrict you.]
"Oh... what's the use?"
[Hmm... Stay tuned?]
Lin Xiaofan was silent for a moment, then suddenly squeezed the electronic salted fish tightly: "I'll strangle you! You're a useless piece of trash that I have to take out a loan for! I don't even dare to touch my car loan or mortgage!"
[Ugh! Don't pinch me! Salted fish don't have necks!]
The electronic saltwater fish was seen to be emitting a faint blue fluorescent light.
【Here's a solution: I'll hold it as collateral for you, and you can come back to redeem it when you've made it big】
"What?"
Before Lin Xiaofan could react, the blue light of the electronic salted fish quickly faded, turning it into a lifeless pendant.
"Holy crap... Old Salt? What happened to you?"
He shook the salted fish in his hand vigorously, but there was no response.
At the same time, the panel from before has also undergone a complete change:
[Rebelliousness Value: 0]
[Task: Be humiliated 3 times, completion rate 2/3]
【The Eye of Truth (Beginner)】
[Rebellious Wonderland (Unlocked at 100 Rebellion Points)]
"True Dior..."
Just as Lin Xiaofan was about to try his hand at something, another pop-up appeared in his eyes: Setting Manual.
He clicked on it with a puzzled look, and a string of words and phrases poured out—
Origin…Mechanism…System…Function…Constraints…Guarantee…
In the blink of an eye, it filled the entire small, dilapidated house.
"Wow...it's that long?!"
Lin Xiaofan quickly scrolled to the bottom: "I have read and agree to abide by all the above terms."
call out!
In an instant, the words disappeared, and the room returned to its original state.
[Mandatory Mission: Visit Shi Tiandi at night and say the standard line: "I will surely defeat you tomorrow."]
"Whoa... I just finished dealing with the 'terms' and now you're giving me another 'task'? You never seem to have a moment's peace."
The blue text flashed wildly in his field of vision, and he grinned.
"Dear Senior Brother Shi, your adorable junior brother is here~"
The night was as dark as ink, and Lin Xiaofan stood outside Shi Tiandi's room.
He didn't knock on the door, but instead squatted under the window and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Senior Brother Shi? Senior Brother Shi! Are you asleep? If you are, just say something!"
"Senior Brother Shi!"
Suddenly, the sound of a fist pounding on the bed came from inside the room. Lin Xiaofan peeked through the crack in the window and saw Shi Tiandi sit up, veins bulging on his forehead, but he forced a smile on his face.
Seeing him straighten his bathrobe and slowly walk towards the door, Lin Xiaofan quickly took his place.
squeak-
The door opened, and Shi Tiandi stood inside the threshold. The moonlight outlined his tall and straight figure. Dressed in white, he looked like a celestial being descended to earth. The key was that above his head was the sign: "Chosen One; Pretentiousness Value: 250".
His voice was gentle and warm: "Junior Brother Lin, it's late and the dew is heavy. What has disturbed my peaceful sleep?"
"Oh dear, so Senior Brother is still awake too."
Lin Xiaofan grinned sheepishly, leaned forward, and deliberately whispered in Shi Tiandi's ear, "I just wanted to ask you, senior brother... how many cockroaches are hiding in your bed?"
Shi Tiandi's pupils contracted sharply, his knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists, but his smile remained unchanged: "Junior brother is joking... There are still matches tomorrow, so please rest early and conserve your energy."
After saying that, he closed the door politely but firmly, his movements extremely elegant.
[The first refusal to follow the standard script constitutes a basic act of rebellion]
[Rebelliousness Value +6]
Lin Xiaofan shrugged, turned around and slipped onto the roof, sat down cross-legged, and activated his Eye of Truth.
A pale blue halo swirled in my pupils, and the scene inside the room became clearly visible:
Shi Tiandi dropped all pretense, overturned the table, and shattered teacups on the floor. He gritted his teeth and growled, "Useless trash! Ants! Tomorrow I'll make you kneel and beg for mercy!" After venting his anger, he closed the windows tightly and went to bed.
Soon after, snoring could be heard from inside the room.
"Hehe... Senior brother, closing the window but not locking it, are you trying to 'seduce' your junior brother?"
A cunning glint flashed in Lin Xiaofan's eyes as he climbed through the window.
Moonlight streamed through the window and fell on Shi Tiandi's sleeping face.
With a smirk, Lin Xiaofan took out the ink and brush he had prepared beforehand and began to carefully paint on Shi Tiandi's face—
First, sketch the turtle shell, then add the limbs, and finally, add a turtle egg right in the center of its forehead—it's incredibly lifelike.
After finishing the painting, he stepped back two paces with satisfaction to admire his masterpiece, couldn't help but chuckle softly, and then quietly left the room.
The following morning, a thin mist enveloped the mountain stream behind the mountain.
Lin Xiaofan practiced basic moves by the water, carrying a wooden sword. The sword's wind stirred the morning mist, giving him a rather dashing air. Suddenly, he heard the soft tinkling of jade pendants. He looked up and saw a figure in white standing by the stream, like a fairy stepping out of a traditional Chinese ink painting.
Su Qingxue.
She bent down to pick a chrysanthemum, her slender fingers delicate and her movements gentle. Pale blue text appeared above her head: "Aloof senior sister, Lin Xiaofan's unrequited love."
"What a load of crap!" Lin Xiaofan cursed under his breath. "Playing a loser is bad enough, but I also have to be a simp? What a load of crap!"
He strode forward, picked a wild fruit from the stream, and handed it to her with a grin: "Senior sister, try this, it's much better than the bitterness of unrequited love."
Su Qingxue paused slightly and looked up. Her eyes were like cold stars, her nose was high and straight, and her lips were pale pink; she was truly aloof and stunningly beautiful.
She stared at the wild fruit in Lin Xiaofan's hand: "What do you mean, Junior Brother?"
"You mean..." Lin Xiaofan blinked, "I don't want to be a pervert today, I just want to be an ordinary person delivering fruit."
Su Qingxue's ears turned slightly red. She took the wild fruit, lowered her eyes, and took a bite. Juice overflowed from the corner of her lips, revealing a touch of freshness.
[Rebelliousness Value +3]
"Thank you." Her voice remained cool, but it felt less distant.
Just as Lin Xiaofan was about to speak again, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar.
Shi Tiandi arrived in the morning light, his golden brocade robe shimmering in the rising sun. His hair was meticulously combed, giving him the air of a chosen one. His gaze swept over Su Qingxue, a flash of amazement in his eyes, then he caught sight of Lin Xiaofan, his smile turning slightly cold.
"Junior Sister Qingxue," Shi Tiandi said gently, "today you are more..."
Before she could finish speaking, Su Qingxue suddenly covered her mouth, her shoulders trembling slightly.
Shi Tiandi was taken aback, not understanding why, and thought that the praise had worked, so his smile became even brighter: "Junior Sister, do you think...?"
Su Qingxue suppressed her laughter until tears welled up in her eyes, and finally couldn't help but point to his face: "Senior Brother Shi... on your face..."
Shi Tiandi's smile froze. He subconsciously touched his cheek, and the sensation on his fingertips was slightly strange. His heart sank, and he quickly ran to the stream. In the reflection of the water, a comical turtle was perched on his face, with "Bastard" across his forehead.
"ah--!"
Shi Tiandi screamed in alarm and rushed into the stream, frantically scrubbing himself. His gold-embroidered robe was soaked and clung to his body, his hair disheveled like straw, and he was no longer the ethereal beauty he once was. He looked up in a disheveled state, meeting Su Qingxue's eyes, which were trying not to laugh.
"Senior Brother Shi..." she lightly covered her cherry lips, smiling brightly, "This... is a new facial tattoo? It's quite unique."
Shi Tiandi's face was ashen as he stared intently at Lin Xiaofan, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Lin! Xiao! Fan!"
Lin Xiaofan stood with his sword in his arms, feigning ignorance: "Huh? What's wrong?"
Shi Tiandi roared and drew his sword to stab, but Su Qingxue frowned slightly and said softly, "Senior Brother Shi! According to the rules of Qingyun Sect, those who engage in private fights will be expelled from the sect!"
Shi Tiandi paused in his swordplay, angrily sheathed his sword, and stormed off, his soaked brocade robe dripping water along the way.
A flash of light appeared before Lin Xiaofan's eyes:
[This is the first time someone has deviated from the script, causing a chain reaction of collapse.]
[Rebelliousness Value +50]
He was overjoyed and turned to Su Qingxue with a smile, saying, "Senior Sister, a smile makes you ten years younger, don't hold it in."
Su Qingxue's eyes flickered slightly. She gazed at him for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Did you... have any extraordinary encounters in the back mountain?"
Lin Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face: "Senior Sister is joking. My greatest adventure was meeting you in the mountains." He paused, deliberately lowering his voice, "But Senior Brother Shi's turtle painting is truly lifelike."
Su Qingxue chuckled, and Lin Xiaofan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: He should have gotten away with it by now, right?
At noon, the martial arts arena was bustling with noise. Qingyun Sect disciples surrounded the arena, discussing the matter animatedly.
"Have you heard? Senior Brother Shi got a turtle drawn on his face!"
"Who's so bold? Are they looking for death?"
"Shh—Senior Brother Shi is here!"
Shi Tiandi stepped onto the arena, his face still covered in ink, with half a tortoise claw remaining on his left cheek. His gaze was sharp as a knife, fixed on Lin Xiaofan as he slowly walked onto the stage.
"Junior Brother Lin..." he said, each word dripping with venom, "How was your time last night?"
Lin Xiaofan hugged himself, feigning fear: "Oh dear! What are you saying, senior brother? I'm a perfectly straight man!"
The disciples below the stage booed loudly, creating a lively atmosphere of watching the drama unfold.
Shi Tiandi trembled slightly, his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves.
The elder referee raised his token: "Uh... ahem, you two should stop short of causing serious injury... So... begin!"
