Title: Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life
Translator: Fringe Alpaca
Chapter 82 - [Received fondness from Chen Kexin.]
Right now, the most important thing to her is to level up and stay alive.
Fondness was of top priority.
Sure enough, right after she had sent her text came a bawling emoji.
[MeowMeow: Master, this painting was… too… too, too incredible! You sure I can name my own price? I don’t have a lot lately. If I ask around, I think I will be able to scrounge up maybe…. $30,000 (said in a very low voice)…..]
Gu Shishi chuckled when she saw that.
[Okay, $30,000 it is then.]
[Would you like me to frame it too?]
{MeowMeow: Oh, no, no, no! Master. Just give me an address and I will come pick it up in person! I will take it to a framing shop myself!}
Gu Shishi was a little surprised by that; guess they would have to meet around the art studio then.
She didn’t think the boss would appreciate visitors.
[Sure. How about 1 PM in the afternoon?]
[MeowMeow: Yes, yes, yes!]
She even followed up with a very respectful emoji.
A few minutes later, Gu Shishi heard the system’s voice.
[Received fondness from Chen Kexin.]
[Acknowledge From Others: LV2 reached!]
Gu Shishi paused a little in surprise before she was ecstatic!
It was exactly what she had expected!
The level of difficulty in gaining others’ fondness varied! In addition, how their amount contributed also varied!
From her observation, between LV1 to LV2, every time she gained someone’s fondness, the average contribution was 10% of the progress.
Yet, she tested that out a couple of days ago.
Using Ling Xiaomei as an example, ever since the first time the fondness gone up, whether it was giving her rides home, taking her out to lunch, or giving her drawing lessons, the fondness level had never gone up again.
On the other hand, Zhao Xian, who were always picking on her, increased her progress twice.
Or those she had met through her streaming channel such as MeowMeow or King of the Hill, they showed no contribution to her progress at all.
Until today… when Chen Kexin, MeowMeow, received her second painting, was the first time her progress had gone up.
And the fondness from her alone was 20% of the progress, much higher than all the others!
“Was it because she was from a prominent family?” speculated Gu Shishi.
As the system was termed “Wealthy Housewife System”, then there must be special treatment toward those from prominent families and upper class social circles.
Very likely, they’d receive a bonus amount in the “Acknowledge From Others” category!
Chen Kexin was a SGR and Zhao Xian was the girlfriend of a SGR.
Relatively speaking, all others, such as Ling Xiaomei, who has nothing to do with the prominent family circle, fell under the commoner category?
“Receiving fondness from those in the prominent family circle is more difficult, but once succeeded, the experience gained will be twice that of a commoner.”
Gu Shishi took out her little notebook and recorded her speculation about the system.
[Host’s Level: LV2 (The Prominent Family’s Fiancee That Is Slowly Gaining Attention).]
[Life’s limit raised up to 7 days!]
[Remaining Life Balance: 4 days 19 hours.]
“Finally, I will be able to live up to a week…”
Gu Shishi sluggishly plopped onto the couch after she had finished appreciating the outcome.
But only to bounce back up in the next second.
“Time for drawing and recharging!”
Now she was someone with $60,000 in her bank account!
Quite different from the abjection of someone only having a 3-digit amount in their savings not too long ago!
She was able to experience being a nouveau riche for once and generously purchased the highest amount of diamond package in the game -- $648 for 6,480 diamonds, before she started her crazy drawing fiend.
“SSR! SSR! …. C’mon! Come to me!”
