The Female Lead Has No Cheats
Chapter 78: Helping in Secret (5)

When the staff, assistants, and the director came over, Lin Yueqi put on an innocent face. “You all know I hate her too. I might have saved her but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna help her out.”

Tang Haoran helped Qin Xue up and shouted at Lin Yueqi, “Lin Yueqi, you’re going overboard with your bullying! You’re clearly toying with our Ah Xue on purpose!”

“Yeah yeah I’m the one who’s deliberately targetting your beauty Ah Xue, alright?” Lin Yueqi turned to look at the director and said with impatience, “Director, just let me handle all the hate and scandals in the crew, alright?”

The director looked at the frightened horse that had kicked over two staff members, then at Lin Yueqi, and sighed deeply.

If it wasn’t for Lin Yueqi, then there’s no telling what could’ve happened today. It was already a very good result that Qin Xue didn’t break her legs.

The director praised her, “Xiao Lin, if it wasn’t for you then more people might have gotten hurt today. These two horses are carefully selected by myself. I have no idea what made them so frightened. They’re usually docile and gentle so I’m really not sure what happened today.”

When Qin Xue heard the director praise Lin Yueqi, her negative energy shot straight up.

The invisible darkness surrounding her body grew denser and denser. The horse that was being held back suddenly turned around a took a few step backwards. With its butt pointed right at them, it dropped its bombs.

Qin Xue had yet to sit up when the horse’s tail swept over her. Following that, there was a “flop” before a pile of horse dung dropped on top of her head.

Lin Yueqi, “…” How unlucky has she got to be today?

Director, “……”

Lin Yueqi’s body and mind had become very relaxed from the ride. At the same time, her positive energy rose by 2 points.

Before Qin Xue even had the chance to scream, a system alert sounded immediately in her head.

“Ding ding—Less than 20% of stored energy remains, all functional levels are down to level 2. In three days, your outer appearance will go through the routine once every three month degradation, and a level 2 beautifying feature is required to fix it, which will consume 15% of the energy.”

Qin Xue had completely turned the “Flourishing Beauty” system as a punishment system.

The system expresses its disappointment in her.

The “Flourishing Beauty” system was a sub-function under the “Supporting Female Counterattack” system. In other words, the “Supporting Female Counterattack” system is its direct boss. If it couldn’t complete its task of collecting negative energy from the female lead, then it would not be able to report on its mission.

Faced with Qin Xue’s failures over failures, the “Flourishing Beauty” system began seeking for people outside of its host. Even though it couldn’t unbind from its host on its own, it could enchant users other than its own host.

As an emergency, it felt that it was more important to replenish itself with Lin Yueqi’s negative energy first. Thus, it planned to trick about twenty points of negative energy out from Lin Yueqi’s side.

During their lunch break, Lin Yueqi played Chinese checkers with the chubby little girl.

The voice of the “Flourishing System” suddenly sounded in her ear. “Nice to meet you, Female Lead, Lin Yueqi. I am the ‘Flourishing Beauty’ system’. I can grant you incomparable beauty and an aura that grants you the love of millions.”

Only

While explaining, the system displayed through her eyes its beauty and shaping functions that were no different from a beauty filter on a phone.

And these panel functions could grant one infinite beauty just be adjusting a parameter. The system felt that nobody could resist the temptation of beauty, so it planned to coax Lin Yueqi into giving it 20 points of her negative energy before it ran off with the goods and the pay.

With that thought, the system believed itself the smartest one in this entire city.

However, as it turns out that if dumb hosts exist, then dumb systems do as well.

Lin Yueqi tossed the glass chess piece and curled her lips. “Sounds interesting.”

The “Flourishing Beauty” system displayed a smiling emoji in front of her before saying in its mechanical voice, “That’s right, I am very interesting. Do you wish to become beautiful? You only need to give me twenty points of negative energy and you can start with the level 1 beautifying function.”

The “Flourishing Beauty” system chattered in her ear for about half an hour.

Then, with an expressionless face, Lin Yueqi said, “Beat it.”
