Chapter 524: Advanced Random Mission (Bronze-ranked): Polygamy
As the two chatted, Lin Jiali finally woke up.
Lin Jiali was the type of girl who slept a lot. She could sleep for more than 10 hours a day and there was no lack of sleep. Conversely, that also caused her to have a relatively serious morning temper.
Especially since the 2 people who had caused her to get up today were the 2 people she “hated the most”, causing her to have an even bigger temper.
That’s right, Su Yang and Han Yi had already become the people she hated the most…
In fact, sometimes Lin Jiali herself did not know what she was thinking. Although Han Yi was her best friend, but… She really could not give her sincere blessings.
If Han Yi was doing well, Lin Jiali would feel that she was doing poorly. She would even feel that she was a good-for-nothing…
After all, Han Yi was her junior. She was the one who brought Han Yi to get to know the people in the agency. She was also the one who used her clumsy acting skills to teach Han Yi how to act and she was the one who brought Han Yi to some of her events.
However, in the blink of an eye, Han Yi soared higher and higher while she remained in the same spot.
Although their relationship had always been on good terms, Lin Jiali was really jealous of her.
After Han Yi left the agency, Lin Jiali felt a little better. She slowly convinced herself that Han Yi’s development was all thanks to Sister Mi, which was something she could never hope for.
But… She couldn’t help it, she was filled with jealousy.
That was why she told Su Yang about her complaints and jealousy towards Han Yi after she confirmed that Su Yang did not know her true identity.
After venting her emotions, Lin Jiali’s mind gradually calmed down. She could accept the fact that Han Yi was indeed better than her. She also had enough time to think about her own thoughts.
She thought about it for a long time. She felt that it was not that she could not stand Han Yi excelling. It was just that… She wanted Han Yi to excel, but she wanted herself to excel better than Han Yi. In other words, she wanted Han Yi to do well, but she wished that Han Yi did not do as well as she did…
Perhaps, if she had not personally guided Han Yi, things would not have turned out her way. However, since Han Yi was her “disciple” and “younger sister”, how could she surpass her “master” and “elder sister”!
However, there was no way to turn back time. Han Yi had indeed surpassed her, so she could only slowly adjust herself.
Especially after Lin Jiali herself had a new drama and a boss who was a fan of hers, everything progressed very smoothly. Hence, Lin Jiali’s mentality became even calmer and gradually stopped being jealous of Han Yi.
It turned out that Lin Jiali thought that she and Han Yi would continue to interact like that in the future.
However, she did not expect that there would come the day when she would receive a call from her assistant saying that her boss, her hardcore fan, wanted to talk to Han Yi at her own home.
A woman’s sixth sense was not good in other aspects, but it was very effective in catching adulterers, so Lin Jiali immediately felt that something was wrong.
After asking all sorts of questions from her general manager, Tan Mei, she finally found out a truth that made her break down, which was that her boss, her fan, intended to pull Han Yi back into his agency.
At that moment, her world collapsed.
She had to admit that Han Yi was more popular than her, had better acting skills, sang better than her, was more popular than her and surpassed her in everything. Then the question came. When Han Yi returned, where was she supposed to stand in the agency?
She felt that she did not actually ask for much, nor did she want to compete and compare herself with Han Yi. In fact, she was on the verge of giving up on the idea of becoming famous in the entertainment industry.
All she wanted was to be the most popular girl in her little management agency. She also hoped that her fan, her boss would give her enough “love”.
But… Were all those about to be snatched away?
The thought had haunted her all night and she had only fallen asleep at 7am.
In the end, before it was even 11am, “Hateful Person No. 1” arrived at her place and woke her up from her dream.
Less than 10 minutes later, “Hateful Person No. 2” arrived as well.
‘I’m fine with those hateful people coming here, but they keep on chatting. Although I can’t hear what they’re saying, their chitter chatter is extremely annoying!’
With the feeling of 10,000 mosquitoes buzzing in her ears, Lin Jiali could no longer hold back. Hence, she lifted the blanket and roared, “The both of you are so noisy!”
After letting out all the grievances in her heart, Lin Jiali felt her nose tingling and her eyes burning. She endured her grievances and covered herself with the blanket before lying down again.
After Lin Jiali’s outburst, the entire apartment fell silent.
“What… Is going on?” Su Yang looked upstairs in confusion.
Because Su Yang could see Lin Jiali, he activated [Space Traversing Eyes] which sent him some notifications. [Anger], [Grief], [Upset]…
Su Yang was confused.
‘Why is she angry, aggrieved and upset?
‘The both of us did not speak very loudly. After all, we were talking about a matter that we were both hiding from Lin Jiali.
‘So… Could it be her morning temper?’
Han Yi looked at Su Yang, put down the bun in her hand and went upstairs.
Su Yang looked at Han Yi from the back and was completely confused. ‘Is she on her period?’
After a while, Han Yi walked down with a confused expression.
Su Yang asked, “What’s wrong?”
Han Yi held out both her hands sideways and confusion was written all over her unique Westerner features. “I’m not sure either. Sister Jiali wouldn’t talk to me at all… Why don’t… You give it a try?”
Su Yang thought for a while. “Alright, I’ll give it a try.”
Su Yang stood up to check on Lin Jiali.
Han Yi looked at the only bun left on the table and then looked at Lin Jiali, who was upstairs. Her eyes lit up. “I’ll head out for a while. Sister Jiali likes to drink a fruit tea called Coco. It’s low in sugar, slightly sour and has a great taste. Best of all, it doesn’t make her fat. I’ll buy her a bottle and see if she feels better.”
As she spoke, Han Yi patted Su Yang’s shoulder. “Little brother, help me hold out for the next 20 minutes. I guarantee that Sister Jiali will be happy after drinking the fruit tea.”
As she said that, Han Yi ran to the porch to put on her shoes before opening the door and running away.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Little brother…
‘I do seem a little younger than Han Yi, but there was no need to add the word ‘little’ now, was there?
‘Besides… I’m her boss.
‘My dear sister, if you address me like that, you’re merely narrowing your path.’
Now that Han Yi had left, only Su Yang and Lin Jiali were at home. ‘She’s acting strangely this morning, I better find out what’s actually going on.’
Just as Su Yang was thinking about that, he heard a “ding”. [Advanced Random Mission triggered (Bronze-ranked)].
‘[Advanced Random Mission]?
‘Bronze-ranked?’
Su Yang was a little surprised. ‘It’s been a long time since a mission has been issued by the system. I’ve always been relying on my coins to obtain my [Random Point]. Now, I finally have a mission that can help me earn some coins.’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang opened the system and took a look at the mission. When he took a look, he was shocked.
[New Advanced Random Mission (Bronze-ranked): Polygamy.]
Mission Description: Lin Jiali and Han Yi are best friends. However, because of their different abilities, looks, luck and other aspects, the speed of their development are completely different as a result.
Han Yi is treating Lin Jiali as her true friend, but Lin Jiali has always been jealous of Han Yi.
This feeling, coupled with the pressure of her stagnant career, caused her to suffer from depression. These symptoms have been relieved after you met her, but they exploded because you wanted to “get” Han Yi.
Please try your best to adjust Lin Jiali’s emotions and persuade Han Yi to return so that the 2 female celebrities could get along well and resolve this matter.
Mission Reward: According to the completion of the mission, the reward will be a Random Prize Voucher of varying value.
Note: I want fish, but I want a bear’s palm as well. If I’m able to get both, I will never let go of either of them.
After reading through the mission, Su Yang was dumbfounded.
‘I knew that the reward for an Advanced Random Mission was based on the completion rate of the mission. But… What’s with the reward for this mission?
‘According to the completion of the mission, the reward will be a [Random Prize Voucher] of varying value…
‘An Advanced Random Mission actually has this kind of reward?!
‘So is this a reward that would only be given by a Bronze-ranked Advanced Random Mission?
‘Then why did I never trigger a mission of this level before?’
Su Yang pondered for a moment and realized that it might be a change after the system upgraded.
After the system became +3, all the functions and missions were upgraded.
‘Now that I think of it like this, it’s quite logical.
‘I’ve noticed earlier that as the system’s level increased, even though the frequency of receiving missions decreased, the lower level missions have also appeared less while the higher level missions became more common.
In the past, I would only receive a Silver Mission after every few months. Now, I’m receiving 2 Silver Missions in less than half a month.
‘Therefore, it’s only normal for the Advanced Random Mission to be upgraded as well.’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang accepted the mission without hesitation.
‘In any case, the system won’t punish me if I failed the mission. So, even though I might not be able to receive any benefit from accepting this mission, but… I definitely won’t make any losses!’
After accepting the mission, Su Yang would naturally have to work hard to complete it. Hence, he went upstairs and looked at Lin Jiali.
Lin Jiali was still lying on the bed with a thin blanket covering her head, revealing only her slender and fair legs. She looked like she was about to suffocate.
Under such circumstances, if it was someone else with ulterior motives, Lin Jiali would probably have felt the arrival of her period in advance by that moment. However, Su Yang was a gentleman, so he did not do anything. Instead, he merely took out his [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass] and slammed it on the railing of the stairs…
Having used the hourglass countless times, Su Yang was already extremely familiar with the corridor of memories. As he wandered through Lin Jiali’s sea of memories, he found some recent memories of her.
Su Yang was dumbfounded when he read through Lin Jiali’s recent mental journey.
He had seen Lin Jiali’s weird mind before, but… He did not expect it to be so weird!
‘Actually, I can understand Lin Jiali’s jealousy, it’s only normal for anyone to feel that way. Her friend and disciple were originally lesser than her, but in the end, she grew faster and faster, surpassing her eventually.
‘This grievance, this unwillingness, this jealousy is so much stronger than an ordinary jealousy.
‘But since she’s so aggrieved and jealous, wouldn’t it be better for her to ignore Han Yi and cut off all ties with her?
‘However, she refuses to do so. She wants to be best friends with Han Yi, best of the best. Also, she wants Han Yi to treat her very well, with the best treatment possible.
‘I’m not too sure if it were a matter of life and death, but if it were any trivial matters, both of these best friends are people who would go all out for each other.
‘That’s why Lin Jiali can’t extricate herself from these 2 emotions. Coupled with the pressure she’s under in this industry, she eventually developed psychological problems.
‘Now that I know the whole story, how am I supposed to deal with this?
‘I think the best solution is for her to have a chat with a psychologist, but I’m sure she wouldn’t want to go.
‘In this case, should I give her some counselling then?
‘But I’m not a professional psychologist! How am I supposed to counsel her…’
As he thought about it, Su Yang could not help but recall his [Verbal Cannon] ability.
‘Since I neither know how to start, nor do I know how to counsel her psychologically, I might as well rush straight in without any skills. I’ll use my [Verbal Cannon] to brainwash Lin Jiali and brush it though!’
