Character Favorability Panel

Seeing these rewards, Xiao Yu suspected his eyes were playing tricks on him. The system had been quite generous before, so why were the rewards this time all such trash?

There were practically no substantial rewards. Xiao Yu had been eagerly expecting something like a Dou Technique or cultivation method.

"Century Egg, why are there so few rewards for completing this task?"

"The items rewarded by the system are distributed according to the difficulty assessment of the task selected by the host. The more difficult the completed task, the richer the final rewards."

Hearing the system's response, Xiao Yu helplessly curled his lips. So it thought the task of breaking out with Xiao Yi Xian had not been difficult at all!

Just then.

The system's voice rang out again.

" Ding! The host has successfully upgraded the system to Level Four. A new section has been unlocked: the Character Favorability Module."

Xiao Yu was slightly stunned.

A character favorability module?

Did that mean he could directly check who bore him goodwill?

With this method, Mother would never have to worry about him getting himself killed while adventuring outside again.

Opening the system and entering the newly unlocked favorability module, Xiao Yu saw that only a few people were currently displayed.

He did not know whether the others had too little impact on the plot, or whether they were simply unfamiliar with him, so they were not shown.

[Xiao Yan: Favorability 85]

[Medicine Elder: Favorability 83]

[Xun'er: Favorability 66]

[Xiao Yi Xian: Favorability 70]

Favorability rules: 0–30, sworn enemies; 30–40, hatred; 40–50, mild dislike; 50–60, strangers; 60–70, slight fondness; 70–80, trust; 80–90, reliance; 90–100, through life and death.

Note: When another person's favorability toward the host rises above 95, they will never betray the host for the rest of their life.

After reading the system's explanation of the favorability module, Xiao Yu immediately understood its purpose.

However, seeing Xun'er's glaring favorability score of 66, Xiao Yu felt that if not for his good relationship with Xiao Yan, he might have been nothing more than a stranger in Xun'er's eyes.

As for Xiao Yi Xian, whom he had only just met, she truly deserved to be called a kind-hearted and beautiful physician. After going through life and death together, her favorability had shot up to 70, right at the boundary between slight fondness and trust.

Xiao Yu was also very satisfied with Medicine Elder's and Xiao Yan's favorability toward him. It was not as if someone would meet him and instantly have 90+ favorability, ready to share life and death with him. In this world, one reaped only as much as one sowed. After merely a year of spending every day together, Medicine Elder having such a high favorability toward him had already exceeded Xiao Yu's expectations.

After all, Medicine Elder had once been betrayed by his own beloved disciple.

After familiarizing himself with the new system section, Xiao Yu absorbed the Dou Qi granted by the system. As for the five lottery tickets, he planned to save them for now. His luck had been terrible recently, and he did not want to use them.

After absorbing the Dou Qi, Xiao Yu was delighted to discover that he had instantly advanced to a seven-star Dou Zhe.

He had to admit, the system's constitution was ridiculously amazing. His experience rose insanely fast.

As long as he clung tightly to the system's thigh and completed a few tasks each day, sweeping across the Dou Qi Continent would be a piece of cake.

After regulating his breath for a moment, Xiao Yu opened his eyes and saw Xiao Yi Xian resting her chin in both hands, staring blankly at him.

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian staring at him without even blinking, Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback.

Xiao Yi Xian realized she had been caught peeking at him, and her cheeks instantly flushed red. She apparently had not expected Xiao Yu, who had said he needed to sit and regulate his breath, to open his eyes so quickly.

Being suddenly caught peeking at someone was, needless to say, extremely embarrassing.

"Y-you're not hurt, are you?"

Xiao Yi Xian stammered as she changed the subject. Her hands left her chin, and she awkwardly tugged at the corner of her clothes.

Xiao Yu had also felt a little awkward at first, but seeing Xiao Yi Xian's appearance, he suddenly felt there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Instead, he found her rather adorable like this.

"I'm fine. I just used up quite a lot of energy," Xiao Yu said with a smile as he looked at Xiao Yi Xian.

Then, looking at the blazing sun slowly rising in the distance from the eagle's back, he turned to Xiao Yi Xian and said, "What about you? Since we escaped the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's encirclement this time, they definitely won't let us go."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian tilted her head and pondered for a moment before saying to Xiao Yu, "I'll still return to Green Mountain Town. After all, I'm quite popular there. They won't dare do anything to me."

Hearing Xiao Yi Xian say this, Xiao Yu frowned slightly. He wanted to remind her of something, but did not know how to say it, so he could only tell her, "Then be careful. Also, don't place too much trust in Thousand Medicine Hall."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian smiled sweetly. "Mm, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

Since Xiao Yi Xian had said so, Xiao Yu did not say anything further. His goal in coming to Green Mountain Town this time had not been Xiao Yi Xian alone.

Not long after, atop a mountain peak in the range, Xiao Yu watched Xiao Yi Xian's figure vanish into the distance aboard Blue Eagle. Then he turned around and slowly headed deeper into the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

A cold sensation came from his neck, and the mercenary said in terror, "Spare me, hero! I heard our Third Commander has the strength of an eight-star Dou Zhe. Every word I said is true. Please spare my life..."

Finding that what the mercenary said differed little from the information he knew, Xiao Yu simply knocked him unconscious to prevent him from exposing Xiao Yu after being released.

Slowly approaching the tent where the Third Commander, Hao Meng, was staying, Xiao Yu heard the sound of a man and woman panting from within.

This chapter isn't over. Please click the next page to continue reading!

"..."

Xiao Yu had never expected this Third Commander to be so lecherous.

He had thought the Third Commander would merely enjoy some singing and dancing, but he was actually having this much fun in the mountains.

However, this also provided Xiao Yu with an excellent opportunity to assassinate him.

Listening to the obscene panting of the man and woman inside, Xiao Yu silently crept along the tent to the rear of the tent where they were resting.

Honestly, the journey here had been a tremendous test of Xiao Yu's willpower. There was no helping it—she truly was worthy of being the top courtesan of Fragrant Pavilion.

Just as Xiao Yu's ears began to turn red from listening, the sounds inside grew louder and louder. He immediately adjusted his breathing and gripped the dagger in his hand. He was not using his spear because it was unsuitable for an assassination; only an idiot would do that.

The wanton cries of the man and woman inside grew increasingly intense. Even standing outside the tent, he could hear the creaking sounds. Then, after the man's furious roar, everything gradually fell silent.

Now! Xiao Yu clenched the dagger in his hand and, judging from the position he had sensed earlier, fiercely thrust it forward.

There was a reason Hao Meng was the third-in-command of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. The instant he sensed danger, he directly threw the woman he had just been holding in his arms toward Xiao Yu, intending to buy time.

Xiao Yu frowned at the sight. It was too late to adjust now, so he struck the woman with his left palm. Yet because she blocked him, he was delayed for a brief moment.

The dagger that should have pierced Hao Meng's neck could only stab into his right shoulder because of his swift reaction.

Hao Meng flipped off the bed to evade him, roaring in lingering fear and fury, "Who are you? I will grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes!"

Hao Meng stared at Xiao Yu before him, both shocked and enraged. This had been the closest he had ever come to death.

Ever since becoming the Third Commander of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, he had rarely participated in combat personally.

This time, he had led a team to surround and kill a petty thief, and he had not taken it seriously at all. The man was merely a six-star Dou Zhe. With so many subordinates under him, as long as they found the man's trail, he would not even need to act personally. A pile of corpses would be enough to crush him to death.

Thus, he had been enjoying himself. He had even brought along his lover from Snowfall Pavilion, intending to let her experience the life here and, incidentally, experience his virility.

Yet he had never expected that someone would sneak into his tent just now and nearly kill him.

Had he not been experienced enough to throw that woman out in time and buy himself some time, he would likely have been a corpse on the ground by now.
