LIGHTNOVELWORLD 97. An Ning's Weakness
For this mission from the system, Su Qi felt it came at the right time. Because she was currently in a confused state.
Unlike in high school, where you could just keep studying. Because the goal back then was very clear—it was just about “grades”.
But in university, apart from the final exams, grades seemed much less important. It was easy to lose direction, not knowing what to do, and if not careful, you could fall into an ocean of games.
The Su Qi before had always been making games and busy with design, always making herself very busy. But now, with food and drink not being a worry, she felt quite empty.
It has to be said, the timing of the system issuing this mission was perfect.
Su Qi felt that if she immersed herself in a game, the appearance of this mission could be considered pushing the main storyline, letting the player clearly know what they should do next!
Although many players these days say they like games with a high degree of freedom, with some even calling for no guiding quests to allow self-exploration.
But in fact, if there really isn’t any guidance at all, players would feel lost playing it too!
Su Qi was the type who quite liked being chased by missions.
If the system heard Su Qi’s words, it would probably jeer “slacker” again. But the urgent matter at hand was still the mission.
“Host, this system strongly recommends you first learn the ‘Flowery Swordsmanship Secret Manual’, which will give you a stronger dance foundation. As the saying goes, sharpening your axe won’t delay your wood chopping. This will greatly increase the probability of you completing the mission!” The system warmly advised.
Hearing the system’s words, Su Qi once again examined the mission description. It had to be said, with her increased IQ, she had a better train of thought when analyzing questions.
Very quickly, she caught a loophole in the system’s mission this time, saying: “I see the mission description says dancing an otaku dance that can reach the system’s 90% rating. Doesn’t that mean as long as you agree, it’s considered complete?”
“It’s like this host, the assessment isn’t done by me, but by a test procedure sent by the main system. So I can’t help you cheat for personal gain!” The system said a bit embarrassedly.
Hearing the system even bringing out the idiom about cheating for personal gain, Su Qi just found it a bit funny, it was becoming more and more humanized.
However, learning the real skills yourself is what matters. Su Qi had upright values, and to be honest, she only joked about this kind of “cheating”.
But now it seems the system’s days aren’t too cushy either, still having to be led by the main system.
If you think about it that way, this system also has to be considered a wage worker. No, wage system?
“Then how is the system’s rating for this otaku dance determined?” Su Qi asked.
She had seen many UP hosts’ otaku dance videos. How to say it, otaku dance actually evolved from MMD.
And MMD’s full name is MikuMikuDance. Initially it featured 2D anime characters dancing, and slowly evolved into real person otaku dance.
Su Qi didn’t dislike 3D real person otaku dance.
But compared to 3D real person otaku dance, Su Qi liked 2D MMD a bit more.
This wasn’t purely because of the dance moves, or because the UP hosts weren’t pretty enough.
It was because of the reason for the video. The power, uniformity, camera rotation, transitions and special effects of 3D dance don’t give the same impact as 2D.
Su Qi found that for more 3D otaku dances, they just put the camera in front, turned on the music, and started dancing. There were no angle changes, no sparkling flashes. If it was just dancing, Su Qi felt it was very hard to be attracted. Even with her own looks, Su Qi felt there wasn’t much viewing pleasure.
“The rating for otaku dance is based on the system comparing the completion rate of mimicking the mirror image movements.” After the system said this sentence, a mirror image of herself appeared in front of Su Qi’s eyes, and an otaku dance song list appeared on the right.
“The host can choose any song. When the song starts, you can imitate the host’s mirror image. Reaching 90% completion rate will complete the mission.” The system said.
Su Qi randomly clicked on a “Paradise Pure Land” and found that the mirror image in front of her eyes started moving, accompanied by sound.
Su Qi had to admit, at this moment the mirror image perfectly replicating her own figure dancing was truly beautiful. The slender, soft waist, the perfect smile blooming on the cheeks with the music, the inadvertent glances and the very feminine little movements made Su Qi dazed.
When the song ended, Su Qi watched the mirror image return to position and secretly realized this mission was really not simple at all. Especially those coquettish little movements only females could do made her feel a bit embarrassed.
“This is a bit difficult.” Su Qi said after watching the video.
“So this system recommends the host practice a single song. Because the host possesses pure eyes, there is a high innocence bonus. So this system recommends you practice ‘Dyed with Your Color’.” The system again warmly gave Su Qi a suggestion.
Huh, why did Su Qi feel today’s system was a bit strange, strange how?
Just strangely considerate.
Su Qi’s eyes turned. The only reason this greedy little system was being so considerate was money.
“I don’t have any money right now!” Su Qi couldn’t help but think of the 5-digit balance left in her wallet, only 6000 left.
“I know, Host. Can I make an investment first?” The system softly gave its suggestion. For some reason, Su Qi thought of the hand-rubbing emoji sometimes seen when sharing memes in QQ groups.
“Tell me about it.” Su Qi also wanted to see what medicine this system was selling in its gourd.
“The host will definitely satisfy the group members’ otaku dances. Then when the host uploads the video to Bilibili, I can provide clothing, video and special effects support. Then for the host’s revenue issue, what do you think?” The system finished and waited for Su Qi’s response.
Su Qi knew money could move people’s hearts, but for this greedy system, it seemed to also have reason.
However, Su Qi was a bit puzzled. Even if it was uploaded to Bilibili, she wasn’t a very popular UP host. When the time came, she estimated it would just be her group friends giving some rewards.
Although 6000+ fans wasn’t few, how much could they reward? Plus Bilibili’s cut, another half would be shaved off, leaving even less.
Su Qi didn’t have much thought of making money from this thank-you dance. It was more about expressing thanks. But the system saying this made her take it seriously.
The system definitely wouldn’t make a losing deal. In other words, it could definitely make a huge profit. Even renting an outfit would cost 10,000+. How could this stingy system be so generous?
“Since you’re providing so much, how do you want to split the revenue?” Su Qi asked.
“Is 50-50 okay, Host?” The system said softly.
Su Qi pretended to ponder deeply, then said: “You said you’re providing clothing. Is it permanent or time-limited?”
“Host, of course it’s time-limited. The clothes I hand-make are very precious, priceless even. Of course if the host wants to own another finished outfit, for the host’s consideration, this system can compromise. As long as the host changes the revenue split to 6-4, I take six you take four, how about it?”
Su Qi was stunned. The system was actually compromising so greatly. It made Su Qi even more certain that this dance video definitely had potential.
But the system had indeed been behaving very obediently these past few days. The conditions it stated really moved her quite a bit.
Seeing the host deep in thought, the system felt it still needed a bit more fire. After some thought, it said: “Host, if you agree to a 6-4 split, I will additionally gift this ‘Secret Manual’ now.”
Su Qi looked at that secret manual. Just the name attracted Su Qi—An Ning’s Weakness!
After a simple glance, Su Qi revealed a wicked smile.
What kind of treasure book was this! Could money buy something like this? This was a treasure!!
Su Qi’s current greatest ambition was to make that domineering beauty An Ning from this morning cry and beg for mercy, just, just like herself this morning.
Immediately agreeing to the system’s proposal, Su Qi impatiently stared at the book in her hand.
At this moment, Su Qi’s eyes radiated scorching light. The system, looking at the host in this state, felt very strange.
Obviously it had already achieved the split it wanted and should feel happy. Why did it feel like it lost out a bit now?
(Thanks to the generous reward from the great “Zi Qingqing”!)
