Sullenness, jealousy, disappointment, longing, grievance... these emotions intertwined, forming a massive emotional torrent that continuously flowed into the Fanbao System.
Ling Yi suddenly realized that his previous efforts to create ambiguity and stir up trouble were far less efficient than what he was doing now.
It turns out that making a woman jealous is the ultimate way to trigger Emotion Points.
And he didn't even need to do anything.
He only needs to go to work on the eighth floor, that's enough.
" Fanbao, tally up the total Emotion Points earned over these five days."
"Five days' total Emotion Points earned: 48,700."
48,700 points.
Five days, averaging nearly 10,000 points per day.
At this rate, the remaining 957 points can be earned within ten days.
However, my stubbornness lingers, so I'll wait a bit longer.
The seventh night of the Cold War.
When Ling Yi returned to the villa, he found Liu Manyun sitting on the sofa in the living room with a glass of red wine in front of her.
She was wearing pajamas, her hair was down, and she looked less sharp and more gentle than usual.
When Ling Yi was changing his shoes at the door, Liu Manyun didn't look at him.
But she spoke up.
"Have you been very busy lately?"
His tone was very casual, as if he were asking about the weather.
"It's alright, I have some company business to attend to," Ling Yi said.
"Um!"
silence.
Ling Yi went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water. As he passed the sofa, Liu Manyun suddenly spoke again.
"Is Li Shuang... pretty?"
Ling Yi paused in his tracks.
He turned his head and looked at Liu Manyun.
Liu Manyun still didn't look at him; her gaze was fixed on the wine glass in her hand, her expression so calm that it revealed no emotion.
But Ling Yi noticed that her knuckles were slightly white as she gripped the cup.
Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Li Shuang is indeed beautiful, with delicate and gentle features, and a refined and elegant temperament; she's the kind of person whose beauty grows on you the more you look at her.
However, Liu Manyun did not ask whether Li Shuang was pretty or not.
What she really wanted to ask was, was Li Shuang prettier than her?
This question is actually quite easy to answer.
But it depends on how you answer.
"You should have already checked their information, right? Like you, they're just partners," Ling Yi said casually.
Liu Manyun finally raised her head and looked at Ling Yi.
Their eyes met.
Ling Yi saw something in Liu Manyun's eyes that he had never seen before.
Gone is the indifference, gone is the arrogance.
Rather, it was a fragile, cautious, almost overflowing feeling of concern and resentment!
[Emotional triggers detected in the target person: Jealousy +300, Anxiety +200, Longing +250, Expectation +150, Total Emotion Points Gained: 900!]
Wow, another record broken!
Ling Yi took a deep breath, put down his water glass, and sat down on the sofa.
There was a cushion separating him from Liu Manyun.
" President Liu."
"Um!"
Are you jealous?
Liu Manyun's body visibly stiffened.
Her lips moved as if she wanted to deny it, but in the end she said nothing.
The silence lasted for about five seconds.
Then, Liu Manyun did something that Ling Yi never expected.
She put down her wine glass, stood up, and walked up the stairs without looking back.
She paused for a second as she passed by Ling Yi.
You don't deserve my jealousy.
The voice was soft, but firm.
Then she went upstairs and closed the door.
With a "bang," neither too loud nor too soft.
Ling Yi sat on the sofa, stunned for a long while.
Damn, that doesn't sound very pleasant!
Ling Yi's initial goodwill towards Liu Manyun vanished almost instantly.
Fine, you're proud, you're arrogant, you're amazing.
"Just a tool for boosting scores."
[Emotional triggers detected in the target person: Jealousy +350, Arrogance +280, Regret +220, for a total of 850 Emotion Points!]
Ling Yi: "..."
Am I not worthy of your jealousy?
What's the deal with your 850 Emotion Points?
But what does this regret mean?
Ling Yi leaned back on the sofa and couldn't help but chuckle.
Liu Manyun, that person...
He's incredibly stubborn.
He was clearly consumed by jealousy, but he stubbornly refused to admit it.
Even though they care terribly, they insist on saying "I don't deserve you."
Being arrogant isn't wrong, but using arrogance to hurt others is.
If it weren't for the fact that Ling Yi could only farm Fanbao Points from Liu Manyun at the moment, Ling Yi would have turned around and left.
He shook his head, got up, and went upstairs.
"How about we move out tomorrow?" Ling Yi frowned.
But he quickly shook his head.
We still need to farm the Fanbao Points; we can't afford to waste Fanbao Points.
However, some adjustments need to be made to one's mindset.
"Who isn't a proud and aloof person!"
Back in his room, he opened the Fanbao Panel and took a look.
Emotion Points Balance: 51200 points.
That's Fanbao Points to 51 points.
Adding the 2 points he had left, he now has a total of 53 Fanbao Points.
It's not much, but it's definitely enough for now.
Moreover, given the current efficiency of farming points, the Fanbao Points will only increase.
Ling Yi turned off the control panel, lay down on the bed, and smiled.
Save your Fanbao Points for later; you can use them when you need them.
Liu Yunfeng.
Wen Xue went inside.
Liu Manyun was extremely jealous.
And his Fanbao Points are growing at an astonishing rate.
Everything is moving in the best possible direction.
" Fanbao!"
[Entering Deep Sleep Mode for the host!]
[Activating Automatic Enhancement Mode for the host!]
Sleeping makes you stronger—perfect.
Meanwhile, Liu Manyun tossed and turned in her room, unable to sleep.
She regretted it the moment she uttered the words "unworthy".
Although she is proud and aloof, she is not an empathetic person.
Of course I know that this statement is a bit excessive.
At that moment, all she could think about was what she had seen that afternoon: Ling Yi, Li Shuang, and Zhou Xiaoxiao chatting and laughing.
In a moment of impulsiveness, my arrogance took over.
And so he started by saying this.
She regretted it as soon as she said it.
But being used to being arrogant, she naturally wouldn't apologize.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go upstairs.
Ling Yi slept soundly that night, but Liu Manyun suffered.
I wonder if Ling Yi will be angry.
Will they hate me? Will they stop talking to me from now on?
It's rare for her to fall for a man.
This was the first time I'd ever felt love.
Emotions during a romantic relationship are naturally amplified.
Now, Liu Manyun is caught in a state of anxiety and uncertainty because of something she said.
That night, Liu Manyun tossed and turned until after 4 a. m. before finally falling asleep, still struggling with her emotions.
Even after falling asleep, I had two nightmares.
She dreamt that Ling Yi left her without looking back.
I dreamt again of Ling Yi, Li Shuang, and Zhou Xiaoxiao, two women standing amidst Ten Thousand Flowers, taking wedding photos.
Ling Yi woke up precisely at 6:00 AM the next morning.
Fanbao's control over sleep time is more accurate than an alarm clock.
But at this moment, Ling Yi stared blankly at Fanbao's interface.
The top part shows a row of green cesium indicators.
