Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life

Chapter 108: Side Quests



Chapter 108: Side Quests

She happily sat up a little inside the bathtub, with her back up against the jets and slowly enjoying the pleasure of the jet striking her body. She took another sip of her leftover orange juice before clicking open the system’s interface.

[Host: LV2 – The Wife of The Prominent Family That Started Entering Into The Upper Class Circle]

[Maximum Life: 7 days]

[Remaining Life Balance: 4 days 23 hours.]

The main interface had no changes.

A few of the menus did, however.

[Skill and Halo List] When she clicked inside of it, she saw 16 small squares.

Among them, “Rose Body Smell (With Sleeping Aid)” and “Cool Skin In Summer Time” were already lit up. The rest were still greyed out.

“Meaning, there are 14 more halo skills?”

Gu Shishi stroked her clear and smooth cheek.

“Are they all look-related?”

Who didn’t want to be a pretty little princess?

Most importantly, she’d no longer need to spend extra time on skin care, what an amazing news for someone as lazy as her?

She randomly tapped on one of the other items.

She had inadvertently found out that once she clicked on it, a small line of text hovered over it.

[Snow White Halo]

[Activate after receiving seven different gifts (6/7).]

“Eh?”

Gu Shishi was a little stunned by this very fantasy-sounding name, but quickly she looked very happy.

She had already received six gifts from the boss?

She had only been living in the mansion for two weeks.

Boss Huo wasn’t half bad!

“Just one more to go? That means it won’t be long before it happens?”

Gu Shishi was very excited all of a sudden.

She wondered what kind of skill would this Snow White Halo bring her.

Snow White was a character in a fable surrounded by seven dwarfs; this halo must be quite mighty?

Gu Shishi couldn’t begin to guess what this halo would do, but she was certainly happy about how the beauty of Snow White was described in the fable.

She tapped on the other greyed out squares, but nothing happened.

It looked like she had to activate this next halo first before the new skills would be unlocked.

She’d just have to wait.

She tapped on [Personal Attribute].

This was the one she worried about the most.

[Doting of the Male Lead: LV2. 50% progress toward LV3.]

[Can accept side quests that would increase fondness.]

[Failing to complete side quests will lead to a deduction in fondness.]

Gu Shishi sweated.

“Side quests? This is my life we are talking about. If it is too risky, I’d be done for.”

She hasn’t been doing any side quests but the fondness has been increasing gradually on its own.

The boss might be proud and moody, but he was quite generous when doling out fondness.

If she took on side quests, she would be opened up to the possibility of fondness being reduced if she failed to complete them.

[Host, big risks, big rewards!]

Gu Shishi, “……”

She wasn’t going to fall for this stingy system!

Better spend some time observing it for a while until it was the last resort.

She looked at the other one and squinted.

[Acknowledgement of Others: LV3. 0% progress toward LV4.]

That was another mysterious number.

After this level up, there was an additional small text of explanation.

[As a good prominent wife, you need to be able to exhibit poise and ease among the upper-class circle and be appropriate and graceful.]

[Close girlfriends, errand boys, elders… they would all become important networks for you in your future obstacle-filled path. “Acknowledge of Others” was calculated using the combination of these factors. Keep on keeping on.]

“Oh, I see.”

Gu Shishi finally got it. This number had always baffled her. From the way it sounded, her speculation was correct. The closer the individual was to the upper-class circle, the more rewarding was the fondness.

[Side quests available.]

[Failing to complete side quests will lead to a deduction in fondness.]

“Not again!”

Gu Shishi’s mouth twitched.

But this “Acknowledge of Others” was worth giving it a shot.

She didn’t have enough people in her network, and it was quite difficult for her to level up each time.
