However, Zhe, who was covering his face, did not realize that Ling Ke was still secretly observing him.

Huh?! Why did he touch his face without washing his hands?

Ling was a little surprised to see this scene, and after thinking for a while, her face turned red again.

"Ding, individual target detected: Ling, emotional fluctuations towards you, master, reward has been sent."

"Huh? What's going on? Why suddenly again?"

Zhe, who had just put down his hands, was also a little confused after hearing the system's announcement.

But after seeing that the system reward was a white silk thread with the same functions except for the change of color, he realized the reason.

Ling, you don't think I touched my face on purpose, do you? No, I really forgot!

Zhe was screaming in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface. After all, at this time, misunderstandings could be ignored. The more he explained, the more confused it would become. It was better to remain silent.

The latest news was also shown on the TV news, including the Sheriff's Bureau's blockade of the cave and suspected members of the Red Fang Gang falling into the cave.

"It's getting late today. Let's go to bed early after dinner. I guess we'll have things to do tomorrow."

"okay."

Ling had no objection to Zhe's words. Zhe first threw the leftover ramen into the trash can outside, and then came back to pick up Ling.

"Well, Zhe, there's no need to do this. I can walk on my own."

Ling, who was held in Zhe's arms like a princess, looked much prettier today for some unknown reason.

In such a close relationship, even if two people have a close relationship, they will inevitably feel a little shy.

"Well, although the sprain is not serious, it's better not to move around, especially when climbing stairs.

You don't need to take a shower today. I'll apply medicine to your room later. Ies, please bring the medicine box over."

"Yes, yes. (Okay, leave it to me.)"

Zhe was holding Ling and walking upstairs, while Ies was balancing the medicine box on his head and hopping to catch up with them.

When they arrived in the room, Zhe first put Ling on the bed, and then took off the ice towel. At this time, the sprained ankle looked much better.

"Well, it's okay. After applying the medicine, you should be able to walk normally tomorrow. But you still have to be careful, understand?"

"Yeah, I understand, brother."

Then Zhe took the medicine box from Ies, took out the healing ointment from it, applied it on Ling's ankle, and then gently applied it with his fingers.

The cool feeling of the ointment, coupled with the touch of Zhe's fingers applying it to her ankle, also made Ling feel a little strange.

But she didn't say anything, but waited quietly for Zhe to finish applying the ointment for her.

"Well, that's enough. Have a good rest. If you need anything, ask Ies to come and call me. Good night."

"Well, good night, brother."

After Ling said this, Zhe gently touched Ling's head with his hand, then turned and left, closed the door, and returned to his room.

"Master, I think you should have given your sister a goodnight kiss just now. That would have brought more emotional value than just a pat on the head."

After hearing what the system said, Zhe felt a little speechless.

"System, you better shut up for now. Let me see what this emotion value is first."

"Emotional value is generated when a target who has a favorable impression of you, the master, experiences emotional fluctuations.

The higher the favorability, the greater the emotional fluctuations generated, and the more emotional points collected. Emotional points are also a kind of currency that can be used to exchange items in the system store. "

After listening to the system's words, Zhe directly clicked to enter the system store.

Current sentiment value: 526

"Hmm? There are so many of them. Is it because Ling likes me so much? Then it seems I have to make her happy more often in the future."

While thinking about it, Zhe also looked at the goods in the system store.

Strength attribute points: 100 emotion points

Speed ​​Attribute Points: 100 Emotion Points

……

Charm attribute points: 200 emotion points

Ether Resistance: 1000 emotion points (This physique allows the owner to survive freely in the void like a corpse.)

……

Note: The goods in the system store will be updated in real time according to the favorability objects unlocked by the owner, so in order to get more goods, please cast a wide net and raise more fish.

Looking at the final label of this system, Zhe felt more and more that the system was not serious, but this was normal, after all, no serious system would be called this name.

But doesn’t this mean that I should become Aquaman?

After shaking his head, Zhe closed the system panel. The current store only sold attribute points, which were of little use to him.

After all, with Beauty is Justice, a talent that can convert 80% of the appearance attribute into other attributes, you don’t need to buy anything else except charm points.

As for the ether-resistant physique, according to the system introduction, once you have this physique, you don't have to worry about ether erosion. Although it is still useful, it's a pity that I can't afford it now.

As for the emotional value he currently has, Zhe has not exchanged all of it for charm points.

After all, you can only exchange it for 2 points now. Instead of exchanging it directly, you might as well save it and see if there will be any new products updated after meeting Nicole tomorrow.

Why are charm attribute points twice as expensive as others?

The system's explanation is that his current charm value has reached 100 points, and it is difficult to increase it further, so the price is higher.

By the way, Zhe couldn't bear to blame the other party for his humble attitude when introducing the system.

Chapter 5 Nicole

The next morning, Zhe and Ling went to the information room on the first floor to continue watching the news.

The specific content is that after the cavity disaster occurred on Fourteenth Street last night, an explosion occurred in a high-rise room of a nearby residential building, and the explosion was caused by the Sheriff's Bureau.

The specific reason was that the Public Security Bureau mobilized the air police armed forces in the process of cracking down on the illegal violent gang Red Fang Gang.

However, the result was somewhat disappointing. The leader of the Red Tooth Gang was not caught and was suspected to have fallen into a cave.

Then at this moment, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and the person who rushed in was Nicole from the Cunning Rabbit House. The pink-haired girl was really attractive.

"No need to look at it, I was involved in the explosion mentioned in the news!"

The brother and sister watched Nicole come to the TV. Da Lei blocked the screen and reached out to turn off the TV (I'm not making this up, this is how it works in the game).

"It's an emergency. Billy, Amby, and my target have all fallen into that hole."

Then, without waiting for the brother and sister to speak, Nicole continued to speak while panting, and it was obvious that she was really anxious.

"I need the rope maker's help urgently. This is my life's request."

Watching this scene, Zhe, Ling, and Ies, who were sitting on the sofa, all looked very calm, as if they were already used to it.

"Hello Nicole, I knew someone was coming, so I deliberately left the door unlocked, but it would be better if you could knock and come in normally next time."

When he said this, Zhe looked helpless, but Nicole was stunned when she saw him.

Huh? What's going on? Zhe, was he this good-looking before? Is it my eyes, or did I just not notice it before?

"Ding, a new favorability target has been detected. Target person: Nicole."

Current favorability target:

Name: Nicole

Gender: Female

Charm value: 93 (P.S.: This charm value is determined by the author's own XP, so it may not be accurate.)

Features: Thunder

Hobbies: Tiny, the more the better.

Current favorability towards the owner: 63

Evaluation: The target's favorability towards the owner is slightly higher than that of a friend, but much lower than that of Dinny.

Inner thoughts: Oh, this is bad. This time, in order to save those two guys, Anbi and Billy, Cunning Rabbit House will have to owe a huge sum of money. But fortunately, Zhe and Ling are easy to talk to, so it will be okay if it drags on for a while.

Looking at Nicole's inner thoughts, Zhe couldn't help but wonder if the other party was deliberately picking some creditors who were easier to talk to to delay paying the debt.

At the same time, people also want to complain that the system panel seems to be more detailed, probably because of the addition of favorability targets.

But this characteristic of Nicole is a bit too... although what she said is not wrong.

"I feel like I hear this at least three times a month... Nicole, your lifelong request~"

At this time, Ling said in a somewhat yin-yang tone, this is the sister's dark attribute being activated.

"Ahaha, first, help me get out of this crisis, and then you can make fun of me as much as you want. Please, legendary rope maker - Phaethon!"

Nicole was a little embarrassed by this, obviously Ling had touched a sore spot, but this was nothing to her.

"Okay, wait here for a while."

After saying this, Zhe went out and came back after a while.

"Well, I've confirmed that there are no suspicious people outside the store."

"Don't worry, I wasn't followed or tailed. I struggled to get out of the scene on Fourteenth Street alone."

"Well, I know, and we're willing to believe you, but this is a special period after all."

Zhe naturally knew that Nicole was not the kind of person who would betray her friends, but this was the real world after all, and it would be bad if something unexpected happened.

By then, he and his sister would be in jail together.

"Oh, isn't it just that the municipal election is coming up soon? Things are very tense right now, I know that."

Nicole waved her hand as she spoke, then continued as if she had thought of something.

"Especially since the efforts to catch rope makers have intensified, they've even set up a special hotline, and..."

"Okay, okay, Nicole, why are you so keen on talking about this? Are you thinking that you can arrest us and not have to pay the debt?"

Ling said this in a joking tone, which naturally resulted in Nicole's rebuttal.

"How is that possible? Do I, Nicole, look like that kind of person? I hate people who betray their friends the most."

Nicole spoke righteously, but Zhe looked at the other person's inner thoughts. It was indeed true, but you really thought about it!

"Okay, let's talk about what happened first."

"Well, okay, this is what happened..."

Nicole then recounted the conflict they had with the Red Fang Gang.

"...In other words, Billy and Amby fell into the cave, and I must rescue them and retrieve the client's things.

It's an emergency and you're the only ones who can help me.

All in all, my request is simple: to bring the things my employees and clients want out of the hole safely.

"A standard rope-making business, wouldn't you take it, Phaethon? Once you've completed this order, I'll pay off all my previous credits in one lump sum."

After hearing Nicole's words, Ling said with some distrust.

"Is this true? But I heard that the Rabbit House is in deficit every month. What's more, Nicole, you've been in arrears for several months. If you add the interest..."

"Really? Is there no trust between us at all? This time, the client is offering a generous reward. As long as I complete the commission, I will pay you the principal and interest in full."

Nicole was also a little dissatisfied after hearing Ling's words, but in the end she looked worried, as if she had paid a painful price, and agreed to the interest.

"Well, that sounds much more reasonable."

Zhe nodded, but he was actually a little curious about how much commission the other party had agreed to give Nicole, which made her so generous that she didn't even care about the interest.

"Very good, since both of you have agreed, let's get going without further delay. I'll go wait in the cave first, uh, hiss..."

"Huh? Nicole, are you hurt?"

Zhe noticed a flash of pain on the other person's face and asked with concern.

"You, you heard wrong, I'm fine."
