Why is the system taking my request to photograph a cosplayer seriously?

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Xingcheng Chujiang Hotel.

Sunlight streamed through the enormous glass dome, casting shimmering light on the azure indoor swimming pool.

Ding Heng burst out of the pool from the center, wiped his face, braced his arms on the edge of the pool, and with a little effort, lightly leaped onto the shore, letting the water droplets roll down his smooth muscle lines.

He sat down on the recliner, picked up the lemonade that the waiter had placed on the small round table, and took a big gulp.

At the same time, the system panel clearly appeared in my mind:

Ding Heng - The First Oath Knight

[Temple Rank: Lightforged Apprentice]

[Sacred Merit: 992]

[Attributes: Strength 7, Agility 8, Constitution 12 (+3), Intelligence 15, Faith 13 (+3), Perception 5]

[Task Objective: 1]

The feeling of being full of energy is pleasant.

The 3-point constitution bonus I received last night was truly effective.

Just now in the pool, Ding Heng swam more than 1500 meters continuously in a near-standard freestyle style, taking about 18 minutes, without any pressure.

This level of speed and endurance is already close to the entry-level requirements for professional athletes.

In the past, I probably would have been panting heavily and had leg cramps!

Ding Heng picked up his phone, unlocked the screen, and saw his chat with Wen Jing.

At the top is a "Good morning" message at 8:00 AM, accompanied by a photo.

Wenjing in the photo had clearly just woken up and was still in bed.

The camera was shot from above. She seemed a little shy, using the edge of the blanket to slightly cover her chin, revealing only half of her face and her long, black hair scattered on the pillow. Her clear, large eyes looked timidly at the camera.

A few strands of hair clung playfully to her smooth forehead, and her eyes, still misty with sleepiness, were not fully open, like a sleepy baby.

So cute!

Ding Heng's lips unconsciously curved into a smile.

[Ding Heng]: Have you thought it through?

The reply came almost instantly.

[Lucky Xiaojing]: Okay! I've told my family everything, packed my luggage, and am already waiting for the bus. [Little rabbit with backpack.jpg]

Ding Heng's smile became even more pronounced.

Wenjing is in Zhuzhou, which is quite a distance away, making it inconvenient to get in touch.

By "tricking" her into coming to Changsha and spending time together, it became much easier to improve her purification level!

Of course, all of this is for the sake of the "purification" mission!

Absolutely no other ulterior motives!

To this end, he even used some of his father's connections to ask an acquaintance to get him a summer part-time job at McDonald's.

As for food and lodging?

Anyway, the hotel is his "territory," so he doesn't have to pay for it.

[Ding Heng]: Okay, contact me when you arrive. I'll be waiting for you at the Chujiang Hotel.

【Good Luck Xiaojing】: [Little rabbit scratching its head.jpg]

【Good Luck Xiao Jing】: Um... Ding Heng, Yan Xi also wants to come to Xingcheng to find part-time jobs.

[Lucky Xiaojing]: Can she live with me? [Little rabbit poking finger.jpg]

[Good Luck Xiaojing]: It feels safer for the two of us girls to be together. [Little Rabbit Peeking Out.jpg]

Ding Heng: [Black guy with a question mark.jpg]

【Good Luck Xiao Jing】: Is that not allowed?

Ding Heng: Okay... then.

More than an hour later, Ding Heng changed his clothes and waited for the two girls in front of the hotel.

Zhao Yanxi jumped out of the car first, her smile as bright as ever, waving and calling out from afar, "Brother Ding Heng! We've come to join you!"

Wenjing followed behind and got off the bus, still looking timid, and greeted softly, "Good afternoon."

"Yes, you must have had a long journey."

Ding Heng took their luggage and handed it to the doorman: "Go to the front desk and register first."

Wenjing was taken aback by this and looked towards the hotel lobby in confusion: "Aren't we going to our accommodation? Why are we still in the hotel?"

Ding Heng replied matter-of-factly, "It's the same executive suite you stayed in last time, with meals and accommodation included!"

"what?"

Wenjing was completely stunned, her mouth slightly open and her eyes wide open.

She thought "all-inclusive" would at most mean providing staff dormitory and cafeteria vouchers, never expecting it to be an executive suite in a five-star hotel!

This is so different from what she knew about "summer job pay"!

Zhao Yanxi's reaction was completely different.

Her eyes lit up instantly, and she skipped over to Ding Heng, confirming, "Brother Ding Heng, does that mean we can both stay in hotels for free until school starts?"

"That's right."

Ding Heng nodded.

"Long live Wuhu!"

Zhao Yanxi cheered loudly and grabbed Wen Jing, who was still in a daze.

Wenjing was half-dragged, half-pulled by Zhao Yanxi to the hotel front desk, her mind still a complete mess.

Looking at the room types and prices displayed on the screen, she tugged at Zhao Yanxi's sleeve and said timidly, "Yanxi... this... this will cost almost two months... is this really okay for us?"

As Zhao Yanxi quickly signed her name, she glanced sideways at her best friend and said, "Why are you worrying about this? Someone's willing to let you stay in a five-star hotel for free, aren't you just enjoying it? Are you stupid!"

In Zhao Yanxi's view, her judgment was absolutely correct.

Ding Heng's excuse for finding Wenjing a part-time job was utterly ridiculous!

The man's real purpose was to use sweet talk to lure Wenjing to Changsha, arrange for her to stay in the hotel, this "gilded cage," so that he could "enjoy" her at his leisure.

Although the method is clumsy and crude, it is absolutely effective on most girls, especially innocent and naive girls like Wenjing!

Wenjing blushed and stammered, "But I'll feel embarrassed."

After signing her name, Zhao Yanxi put down her pen, turned around to face Wen Jing, crossed her arms, and spoke in an ambiguous and teasing tone.

"Are you really embarrassed? Then be more 'sensible' and take the initiative. Let him do whatever he wants. Anyway, all he wants from you is your body."

After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Wenjing's firm chest with a playful expression.

"Yan hope!"

Wenjing was both embarrassed and anxious, and reached out to pinch Zhao Yanxi's arm.

Zhao Yanxi laughed and dodged away, but stopped joking when she saw that Wen Jing was really getting angry.

Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore.

Then she leaned close to her best friend's ear and whispered, half-jokingly, "If you really can't bear to part with your body, I'm your loyal sister, I'll offer myself to the tiger for you, no need to thank me!"

"you……!"

Wenjing was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak, and could only glare at Zhao Yanxi with a red face.

Seeing that she had the upper hand, Zhao Yanxi smiled and took Wenjing's hand, leading her back to Ding Heng.

"All done! Brother Ding Heng, let's go upstairs."

The three of them took the elevator to the executive suite, settled their luggage, rested for a while, and then went to the rooftop buffet restaurant with a view.

Faced with a dazzling array of delicious food, Wenjing still couldn't let loose. With the idea of ​​taking only what she could eat, she chose a seat early on.

Zhao Yanxi kept picking and choosing, finally carrying a full plate to Ding Heng's side, saying in a low voice, "Brother Ding Heng, you really got me into trouble last night..."

Ding Heng was picking up some food when he heard this and looked up: "It can't be that bad, can it? Uncle Zhao is usually quite easy to talk to, isn't he?"

"Easy to talk to?"

Zhao Yanxi pouted: "That's just on the surface! This morning my family was already planning to impose 'economic sanctions' on me, strictly controlling my allowance! Otherwise, why would I have eagerly followed Jingjing to Xingcheng to work? I was forced into it!"

Ding Heng didn't believe it at all.

If Zhao Xingguo and his wife were truly so enraged by what happened last night that they wanted to cut off Zhao Yanxi's finances, how could they have so easily let her come to Xingcheng alone?

However, he wasn't interested in pointing it out and went along with it, saying, "That's a pity. I only managed to get one part-time position at McDonald's."

"It's alright! I'm perfectly capable; I'm not afraid of not finding a job."

Judging from her tone, Zhao Yanxi was clearly just there to join in the fun, and even if she had a part-time job, she probably wouldn't last long.

Ding Heng sighed, shook his head, and then looked at Wen Jing in the distance.

He asked curiously, "Why is Wenjing in such a hurry to go out and work? Is her family facing any difficulties lately?"

Zhao Yanxi's eyes darted around: "Want to know?"

Ding Heng cooperatively asked, "So, what are the conditions this time?"

Zhao Yanxi gave a light snort and raised her chin.

"I'm not the kind of person who would try to raise prices, but..."

She drawled out her words, a sly smile playing on her lips: "Someone seems to owe me a set of 'pictures,' doesn't he? Could it be that he's forgotten?"

Ding Heng smiled wryly: "What kind of film do you want to make?"

"Um?"

After a moment's thought, Zhao Yanxi leaned closer again, pressing her lips against Ding Heng's earlobe, her breath warm.

"Just film...the part you didn't see last night."
