Chapter 8

Ding, an unknown energy has been detected near the host. This energy is extremely powerful and can be absorbed by the system.

Ding, the energy has been confirmed. This energy originates from the human heart, the most primitive and beautiful existence, named Love Energy.

Ding, the system has successfully created a task.

Task Name: Special Energy Point Collection

Task Description: Collect special energy points. Note: Gaining the love of a woman with a charm value of 80 or above will earn you 1 special energy point (additional points awarded at 80, 90, and 100).

Task Reward: Each special energy point can be used for one grand lottery draw.

Task Penalty: The task is mandatory. You must obtain at least 1 special energy point within a year, or the system will automatically detach from the host.

Qin Tian was stunned. Seeing this task, he had no more time to worry about his heartbeat. After wasting over a decade, he finally got lucky and picked up a future system. How could he let it detach from him now? He had to complete this task!

Just then, another notification sounded.

Ding, congratulations, host. You have discovered a woman with a charm value of 85 or above in the vast sea of people. Reward points: 15. Please continue to strive, host. (5 points for 80, 10 points for 85)

Note: The higher the charm, the more points rewarded. 5 points for 80 and above, 10 points for 85 and above, 20 points for 90 and above, 30 points for 95 and above, and 50 points for 100.

Qin Tian...

What kind of system is this? And what kind of task is this? It sounds like a system designed to pick up girls.

Ding, system notification: This system is designed to make the host the most powerful being. The number of high-quality beauties around you is also a measure of your strength. Please do not worry, host.

Qin Tian...

Alright, alright. Even the system is giving me a notification. What else can I say? I'll just have to accept it. This task... this task... I really like it!!!

Although Qin Tian was almost bursting with excitement inside, he didn't show it on his face. He took a deep breath, maintained his charming smile, and walked towards Wang Feifei.

"Hello, beautiful lady. Can I have a scratch card?"

Sitting in front of Wang Feifei, Qin Tian said, and then smiled at her. His white teeth shone brightly in the sunlight, making Wang Feifei's heart beat faster.

"Ah... He smiles so charmingly..."

Seeing Qin Tian's sunny smile, Wang Feifei's heart raced. Although she was nervous, she remembered her role as a salesperson and quickly took out a few boxes of scratch cards, placing them in front of Qin Tian. She explained dutifully, "The ones on the left are 2 yuan each, with the lowest winning rate. The ones in the middle are 5 yuan each, with a higher winning rate than the 2 yuan ones. The ones on the right are 10 yuan each, with the highest winning rate. Which one would you like?"

"Can I take my time choosing?"

"O-of course, take your time."

Qin Tian slowly picked through the cards, chatting with Wang Feifei and telling jokes. Before long, he had made Wang Feifei giggle. He used the [Insight] skill to filter the cards.

"[Lottery Ticket]: A ticket that says 'Thank you for your support,' which will contribute a small part of your love."

"[Lottery Ticket]: A ticket that says 'Thank you for your support,' which will contribute a small part of your love."

"[Lottery Ticket]: A 5 yuan ticket, you can break even."

...

Qin Tian shook his head. The winning rate for the 2 yuan tickets was low, and the prize amounts were pitiful. Most of them said "Thank you for your support," and even when they won, the amounts were only 2 or 5 yuan, with the highest being 1000 yuan.

While telling jokes, Qin Tian casually grabbed a handful of tickets, ensuring he got the ones with the highest rewards. The process was flawless and didn't draw any attention.

"These will do. Feifei, beautiful, can you help me calculate the total?"

By this time, Qin Tian had already learned some details about Wang Feifei. She was a student at No. 4 High School, one of the top students in her grade, a combination of beauty and intelligence. She was working part-time during the holidays. No. 4 High School was a prestigious high school in the city, far better than the No. 1 High School where Qin Tian attended. He had also started calling her "Feifei," dropping the last name.

Feifei rolled her eyes at Qin Tian and said coyly, "I'm not a beauty, you know," though her slightly blushing face and tone showed she was pleased with Qin Tian's compliment.

"He's so funny, being with him is so much fun. I wonder if he has a girlfriend. Do I have a chance... Ah... Feifei, what are you thinking?" Feifei covered her slightly flushed cheeks, feeling shy.

Ding, Wang Feifei's affection has increased to 57. Please continue to strive, host.

Hearing this notification, Qin Tian was overjoyed. It seemed his charm was quite strong. Wang Feifei was at least a school beauty, and her affection had already increased to 57. With a bit more effort, it wouldn't take long to break 90. Then... Qin Tian fell into a daydream.

"Hey... Qin Tian... Qin... Tian... What are you thinking about? Why aren't you answering me?"

"Ah? Ah, Feifei, what's wrong?" Qin Tian finally snapped out of it and turned to look at Wang Feifei, who was pouting and looking a bit upset and hurt.

"I was just talking to you, and you ignored me. Are you unhappy talking to me?" Feifei said, pouting and sounding a bit sad.

"Of course not. Talking to such a beautiful lady like you is an honor. How could I be unhappy? I was just thinking that if I win this time, could I ask you out for a meal? I was just trying to figure out how to ask," Qin Tian lied smoothly.

"Really?" Wang Feifei asked, her tone less forceful and more doubtful.

"Of course, it's truer than gold. Why would I lie to you? It's just that we just met, and I was afraid of being too forward, so I didn't know how to ask," Qin Tian said, looking deeply into Wang Feifei's eyes.

Qin Tian's intense gaze was too much for Wang Feifei. She blushed and looked down, finally saying softly, "I... if... if you really win this time, I... I can agree to it."

Perhaps due to her naturally shy nature, Wang Feifei's words were low and broken. If Qin Tian's body hadn't been enhanced, he might not have heard her clearly.

"Really? Feifei, are you serious?"

Qin Tian grabbed Feifei's slender, long hand and held it tightly, his face showing excitement. Inside, he couldn't stop marveling at how soft and smooth her hand was.
