Chapter 12 A new look
The rate at which the number of people completing the task is increasing is getting slower and slower.
I suppose we shouldn't count netizens who are just watching the drama unfold.
Otherwise, given the current level of popularity, the number of people would not be this high.
It has to be someone who mocked her before, and then got proven wrong.
The remaining 20,000-plus people who couldn't climb up the list were probably die-hard Gu Yan fans who refused to believe anything Jian Ning said.
Only if Gu Yan personally admits it will any of them believe it.
Of course, there are also some stubborn people who, even if Gu Yan admits it, can still pull out conspiracy theories to whitewash Gu Yan.
Even excluding these stubborn individuals, completing the mission shouldn't be difficult.
Jian Ning replied, "Yes, it's that simple. The clarification post will be up for a month, and you can delete it or do whatever you want after that."
Gu Yan: "A month is impossible, three days is not."
Jian Ning: "That works too."
Those solo fans and CP fans couldn't possibly miss it for three days; that's enough time for her to complete her task.
He took advantage of her first, so it's not unreasonable for her to take advantage of him back.
Gu Yan reminded him, "You also need to delete your Weibo posts, including... this video from today."
Just as Jian Ning was about to speak, she heard a female voice from the other end.
"Ayan, aren't you done on the phone yet?"
Jian Ning fell silent for a moment, stunned, unable to recognize whose voice it was.
Gu Yan gave her the answer.
"Weiwei, go to sleep first. I'm still communicating with the company. I'll come over when I've finished talking to them."
Xie Weiwei's voice was languid, "Okay, then don't work too late. Don't worry too much, Jian Ning can't cause any trouble. I'll have my dad inform them to delete those things that might affect you."
Gu Yan: "Your dad is so busy with work, let's not trouble him. You go and rest first. Brother Liu just arrived, I need to entertain him too."
"it is good."
The voice was clearly Gu Yan covering the receiver, coming through as a muffled whisper. But Jian Ning didn't know why she could still hear it clearly; it was as if her hearing had improved considerably.
Jian Ning's fingers tightened, and she asked, "Aren't you supposed to be creating a CP (couple pairing) with her?"
"Jian Ning, since we've already broken up, this has nothing to do with you. Don't go back on your word. I'll post an apology on Weibo for three days, and you need to delete all of that right now." Gu Yan's tone was incredibly cold, unlike his feigned pleading on the phone earlier, and unlike his gentleness towards Xie Weiwei.
Jian Ning said calmly, "What's the rush? I'll delete it naturally in three days."
"Jian Ning! Don't push your luck!" Gu Yan suddenly gritted his teeth.
Jian Ning knew that actors' acting skills were always effortless, but she didn't expect Gu Yan to be able to apply them so skillfully, and to be able to show such completely different attitudes in such a short five-minute phone call.
Soon, she learned why Gu Yan was in such a hurry.
“Weiwei doesn’t like that video. I’ll give you anything you want, as long as you delete it immediately.”
Jian Ning did not provide feedback immediately.
Gu Yan grew even more anxious, his low voice carrying a hint of threat: "The Xie family is a well-known top-tier group in Beicheng, and her father is Director Xie of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. And you, you are just an orphan from the countryside, with only a seriously ill grandmother, powerless and without influence. What do you have to compare with her?"
Jian Ning suddenly understood the lingering doubts in her mind.
She found it strange that there was no need to sacrifice herself for a TV series.
So it turns out she was in such a panic to break up so she could become Director Xie's son-in-law.
"Are you threatening me?" Jian Ning said in a light tone, idly fiddling with the sweet potato leaves on the balcony, with a hint of infuriating arrogance: "Don't forget, you were the one who begged me in a lowly manner. I am the one in control."
Gu Yanqi's breathing became heavy.
Jian Ning casually remarked to him, "Gu Yan, you have no right to bargain with me now," and hung up the phone.
The night outside was as dark as ink, and the last vestiges of gloom in Jian Ning's heart vanished. She no longer cared, and naturally, she felt no more emotion.

The next day, Gu Yan posted on Weibo.
—Ms. Jian and I did have a wonderful time together, but we have now broken up. I apologize for all the trouble I have caused Ms. Jian. As for the breakup, if there is a problem, it must be with me. Ms. Jian is definitely not at fault.
When the statement was released, Jian Ning was already packing up her tent in the unfinished villa.
The system pops up a prompt.
[Slap the face of 100000/100000 sect disciples who looked down on you]
[In a short period of time, you successfully silenced those who looked down on you with your absolute strength, upholding the sect's honor. Your exceptional talent makes you a once-in-a-millennium talent for the sect.]
[Task Reward: Renewal Items have been issued.]
Jian Ning sensed a chaotic, warm yellow light in her sea of consciousness, which was the tool for renewing her mind.
As the props were distributed, the instructions for use also came to mind.
Zhang Nan was supposed to come and keep her company today, but due to a sudden work arrangement, he couldn't take leave, and breaching the contract would mean paying a lot of money.
So Jian Ning is still alone.
She looked around the entire villa, closed her eyes, and focused her mind, circulating her inner energy.
She only realized this during her diligent practice of spells these past few days. By drawing qi into the body and cultivating it, she was able to successfully mobilize spiritual power when casting spells.
This is why the initial attempt to 'apply a little rain' always fails.
At that time, she thought that Earth had no spiritual energy and that it was impossible to cultivate. She was just blindly getting some mission rewards by being bound to the system, and she didn't even know how to mobilize spiritual energy.
After practicing by chance for a few days, my body began to change, and I became more and more adept at using magic.
Living alone in Huayue Villa, there's nothing to be afraid of.
She closed her eyes, and a warm yellow light, invisible to ordinary people, emanated from her body. Her divine sense could perceive that the usable range of the props was exactly the entire area of the villa she had chosen.
She thought carefully about what her ideal home would look like.
The two-story villa features warm yellow wooden floors throughout. The living room has a soft sofa and a TV, next to which is a cherry wood dining table. Further away, near the kitchen entrance, is a large Western-style island.
The kitchen is a modern Chinese kitchen.
The only room on the first floor was prepared for Grandma. She liked the enveloping solid wood canopy bed with white gauze curtains hanging above it. The bathroom had a bathtub specially designed for the elderly, and a smart toilet. Both the toilet and the bathtub had a sturdy handle for Grandma to use for support and to prevent her from falling.
The laundry room is located to the side of the first floor.
The two sliding glass doors at the main entrance lead to a neat lawn.
The hardened section in the middle is paved with anti-corrosion wood, and there is a self-circulating stream on the side. There is a square grape trellis across the stream, and bamboo cooling beds under the trellis.
The second floor is where she is currently located, with her bedroom and three guest rooms, all ordinary, just enough to create a warm atmosphere.
After Jian Ning finished imagining it in her mind, she opened her eyes again, and the second floor in front of her was exactly the same as she had imagined.
It looks like we won't need this tent tonight.
Jian Ning stepped onto the gleaming wooden floor and, holding onto the carved wooden railing, thumped her way down to the first floor.
My ideal island kitchen includes a dining table, sofa, and TV.
The villa courtyard, once overgrown with weeds, has been completely transformed.
The lawn, the self-circulating stream, the grapevines laden with fruit, and the cool beds under the trellis are all identical.
Even the villa's dilapidated fence has been completely renovated, and the rotten wooden doors have been replaced with brand-new anti-corrosion wood.
This newly renovated place will be her home from now on.
The sun peeked out from behind the clouds, shining down on the earth and making everything before us look vibrant with life.
Jian Ning happily rolled around on the lawn a few times.
She finally has a home.
