Young Master Qin Keeps Coveting Me After I Beat Him Up Chapter 104 - Experience With Cheating Developers

Chapter 104: Experience With Cheating Developers

[Maybe this is why they invited Jiang Xun onto the program? They were probably hoping that one of the guests could solve the problem.]

[Merit Points + 3309]

[Favorability Points + 2278]

Jiang Xun, who had returned to school, was in her dormitory. As she lay on her bed, she opened up her mission panel and noticed that she now had 11,582 Merit Points and 12,186 Favorability Points.

With this, she had successfully completed her mission, so she proceeded to claim her rewards.

[Intermediate Mission: obtain 10,000 Favorability Points points—Completed. Reward: 10 years of life, Additional 2 Ability Points, ability to convert Favorability Points into Merit Points.]

Jiang Xun clicked on the ability panel again. In the ability selection panel, in addition to the stamina and speed options, there was also an option to convert Favorability Points into Merit Points.

Jiang Xun muttered, “Looks like this option can be considered to be one of the abilities added to the ability panel.”

System: “Congratulations, Host. Seems that you can draw conclusions just with one example.”

“Hehe, consider this a result of my experiences with cheating developers.”

The system did not say anything in response.

Jiang Xun first clicked on the “Convert” option.

[Would you like to spend 10,000 Merit Points to gain the ability “Convert FP into MP?]

Even though Jiang Xun was used to being ripped off by the system, she still couldn’t help but blink slowly at the words on screen, her mind drawing a blank.

Eventually, she said, “…You system developers, when you were alive, you were forced to work the night shift, weren’t you?”

“Host, your words are so mean. What do you mean by ‘when we were alive’? Our system developers are all alive and well, and the system development was a team effort, not just one person!”

Jiang Xun was not interested in how many developers there were. She only felt sorry for the MP that she had just acc.u.mulated.

She originally thought that having more than 10,000 MP would be more than enough to quickly start the next mission, but who knew that this system was even sc.u.mmier than she’d originally thought? Even just the action of adding an ability to the panel already costed so much!

“But spending 10,000 MP just to add an ability to the panel is a bit too much!”

“10,000 Merit Points is just a one-time expenditure. Think about it, Host. As long as you add this function, you will be able to continuously convert your Favorability Points into Merit Points in the future. You’ll definitely be able to convert much, much more than just 10k points in the future.”

Due to her understanding of the system, Jiang Xun did not really trust what it was telling her.

Nonetheless, she still chose [Yes].

After all, it wasn’t like she had any other option. Besides, she had a lot of Merit Points, so she might as well!

The option [Convert FP to MP] appeared in her ability panel.

Then, Jiang Xun chose the [Stamina] ability to upgrade, to which she paid 10 MP, leaving her with 1572 MP.

After that, she tapped on the [Convert FP to MP] option, upon which a message popped up.

[1000 Favorability Points = 1 Merit Point.]

Jiang Xun laughed coldly. She was already used to being cheated, so she couldn’t be bothered to protest at this point. It was a good thing that she hadn’t taken the bait the system had laid out for her just now!

With this abysmal exchange rate, when would she ever be able to get back her 10,000 MP?

She now had 12,186 Favorability Points points, so she converted it all into 12 Merit Points. It was better than nothing, she thought, trying to comfort herself.

Jiang Xun did not immediately add points to her other abilities. Instead, she clicked on the next mission.

[Intermediate Mission 2 requires 10,000 Merit Points to unlock.]

After reading it, she calmly turned it off and converted 70 MP into 7 ability points and added them to her Stamina, then repeated the process and added 4 and 7 points to her Intelligence and Purification abilities respectively.

With her current Intelligence, Stamina and Purification stats, it would be more than enough to deal with all kinds of daily situations.

Previously, when she went to patrol the streets, no one could escape from her. But this world wasn’t in the midst of an apocalypse; she did not need to forge herself into a steel-like Superman.

Otherwise, she was afraid that she would be captured by some kind of research department for “research”.

As for purification, she could use the remaining Merit Points to further enhance her ability.

However, after the first purification experience, her appearance would not change much after any further purification. That said, it would give people a kind of surprise from the inside out.

If her appearance were to change drastically, it would really attract the suspicion of others. It would not be good to attract too much attention to her.

For example, many celebrities just kept making minor cosmetic adjustments, allowing them to gradually become more handsome or beautiful. The changes would be subtle so that they looked different, but people wouldn’t be able to tell exactly what it was.

It was only when one took out an old photo and compared it with a newer one could they see the obvious difference.

Jiang Xun didn’t mind people badmouthing her, but it also wasn’t necessary for her to have to deal with people thinking she’d undergone plastic surgery or something like that.

Since she previously added 13 points to her marrow cleansing skill, she now had 20 marrow cleansing points.

Perhaps it was because she had added too many points to her marrow cleansing all at once, but this time, the feeling was a little bigger than the last time; she was sweating more than the last time she’d done this and could feel every pore in her body tingling, as if she had been electrocuted.

If it was just one spot of pain, and it only hurt for a moment, it would not matter at all.

But now, every pore was producing this slight tingling pain at the same time. It was densely packed like electric currents, like the tip of a needle stabbing every part of her skin.

Fortunately, Jiang Xun had endured even greater pain during the apocalypse, and so she gritted her teeth and endured the pain for 10 minutes until it finally faded.

By the time everything calmed down, Jiang Xun was covered in sweat. Some of the sweat was due to detoxification, while some of it was completely caused by the pain.

She actually felt a little tired right now.

Jiang Xun asked the system, “Why does it hurt so much this time? The last time I did this, I added 13 points, but it didn’t hurt like this.”

The system answered, “The strength of the purification process is based on the number of purification points you put in. Every 10 points, you gain a level, so since you previously added 13 points, you were at level 1. This is the lowest level, so you won’t feel anything. When you get to 20 points, you will feel a slight pain, and when you get to 30 points, you will feel even more.”

“…This is a little too abnormal!”

“Our system has had many female hosts before!” the system explained. “Most of them prefer to enhance their beauty over physical and mental abilities, so they are willing to add a large number of Merit Points to the purification process. However, many people are unable to persist because the purification process is too painful, so they don’t dare to add more points to the purification process. The most they can get to is 40 points.”

The system then paused a bit before saying, “Actually, I’m also quite curious about what it would look like if you maxed out your Purification.”

Jiang Xun let out a breath. “Let me rest for a while, then I’ll consider adding 30 points.”

Since every 10 points was equal to one level, she would only add 10 points each time.
