Xia Xin continued to sob uncontrollably, and no matter what Jing MO did, he couldn’t comfort her. His head was starting to ache from her crying. He asked, “What will make you stop crying?”
Sobbing, Xia Xin replied, “I-I’m scared. I can’t stop crying.”
Jing MO finally couldn’t bear it anymore and said, “Alright, I’ll sing for you. Just stop crying. ”
Xia Xin, with teary, blurry eyes, looked at Jing MO, and then she heard his melodious singing. Unbeknownst to herself, Xia Xin was gradually lulled to sleep by his singing, drooling slightly as she rested her head on Jing Mo t s leg. It took over half an hour for Xia Xin to finally wake up.
Xia Xin exclaimed sincerely, “Mister, you sing so beautifully! You should become a singer, like those stars on TV, singing for everyone.”
At that time, the young Jing MO inexplicably asked Xia Xin, “Then, if I release an album in the future, will you buy it?”
The little Xia Xin replied, “Of course! I’ll definitely support you, Mister. I’ll buy every album you release and listen to every song you sing until I know them all by heart!”
Jing MO said, “It’s a deal. But if I ever find out that you didn’t listen seriously, I’ll have to punish you.”
Xia Xin patted her little chest, saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”
Then, Xia Xin extended a pinky, saying, “Pinky promise, never break it.”
Jing MO laughed and called Xia Xin childish, but he still extended his own finger and hooked it together with Xia Xin’s.
Thinking back, Xia Xin couldn’t help but laugh at herself. She had been young and foolish back then, boldly making promises.
After a good laugh, Xia Xin went to buy Jing Mo’s albums. She added all the albums to her cart, but when she was about to check out, she was dumbfounded. She thought, ‘Are his albums really that expensive? The total cost for the whole set was 30,000 yuan! Jing MO, you owe me this!’
Xia Xin silently wept as she completed the payment. Then, she remembered that she needed something to enhance her physical strength. She opened the system and first checked her Affinity ratings. Surprisingly, her Affinity with animals had increased even more than expected, reaching 10,000 points, thanks to her recent appearances on variety shows.
But Xia Xin wondered, ‘Why my Affinity points increased faster than before, despite not having much contact with animals these past few days. Could it be related to controlling animals?’
So, Xia Xin asked the system, “Does controlling animals allow me to gain more Affinity points with them?”
The system replied.
Yes, the longer you control an animal, the more Affinity points you gain.
‘No wonder it had reached 10,000 points so quickly.’ Xia Xin thought.
Without hesitation, Xia Xin allocated all her Affinity points to her Reflex attribute, raising it to 15. As she watched the Reflex attribute increase, she felt more reassured.
Xia Xin then visited the system’s Shop, searching for a while before finding something called Bone Cleansing Elixir. The elixir could indeed enhance her bone and muscle strength, similar to soaking in a bath bomb. It required soaking in bathwater for half an hour to strengthen her bones and muscles. However, the elixir needed to be used ten times to complete the entire body’s tempering.
Xia Xin thought, ‘As long as it helped me improve my physical fitness, ten times was fine. If this elixir could turn me into a superhuman in one go, I would be suspicious of its authenticity. In any case, regardless of what I do, I prefer to progress gradually.’
After making up her mind, Xia Xin checked the price. That’s when she was stunned, ‘This elixir is too expensive! One small bottle cost 500,000 Affinity points! I needed to use it ten times, which meant I needed 5 million Affinity points! I only had 100,000 Affinity points now! When will I ever be able to successfully temper my body?’
Xia Xin began to feel a sense of hopelessness, and even her previous thought of gradual tempering was discarded. Since that was the case, Xia Xin even planned to just forget about it. She believed that as long as she exercised regularly, it would be the same. Besides, controlling animals required sleep, so she could simply sleep more.
Just as Xia Xin was about to give up, the system’s notification sounded at an inopportune time.
A friendly reminder! The Beast Language System can help you gain the favor of animals, but it may also bring you some troubles.
Alerted, Xia Xin asked, “What kind of trouble?”
