Chapter 38: Conquering the Female Lead
Chapter 38: Conquering the Female Lead
When Ali returned to the private room, Xing Beiluo hadn't come back yet. Ali secretly rejoiced, "Phew, she probably doesn't know I left, right?"
Not long after, Xing Beiluo returned, and the three of them continued their casual conversation, waiting to see if there was anything worth their time.
A cage had been brought out onto the stage at some point, containing a tiger-headed, lion-bodied beast about a meter tall. Ye Shize enthusiastically introduced, "Next, we will be auctioning a tiger-lion cub. When it comes to the kings among spirit beasts of the same rank, nothing beats the tiger-lion and the lion-tiger. The former is formed by a female lion and a male tiger becoming husband and wife, while the latter is formed by a male lion and a female tiger becoming husband and wife."
As everyone knows, lions and tigers are mortal enemies, and their habitats don't even border each other. Under normal circumstances, they are unlikely to naturally bond, which is what makes tigon beasts so rare… This tigon beast cub is less than two months old, only a first-tier spirit beast, and the probability of forming a contract with it is as high as 90%. Moreover, we all know that tigon beasts combine the advantages of tigers and lions, making their combat power off the charts; a fully grown tigon beast is comparable in strength to an eighth-tier spirit beast. Of course, this tigon beast also has weaknesses; it was premature and relatively weak, so the starting bid is: 400 low-grade spirit stones. Auction begins!
Suddenly, the system sent her a task: [Ding! System task triggered: Conquer the female lead and raise her favorability to 100%. Task reward: Spirit Stones, 500 points.]
Wow, that's a really high score!
Ali suddenly remembered a popular saying in modern times: If you want others to remember you instantly, just ask them for money.
If I borrow money from the female lead, I should be able to become friends with her, right?
Thinking this, Ali quickly put it into action. She transformed into a little kitten and rubbed against Xing Beiluo's shoulder: "Luo Luo, so cute~" Her eyes sparkled as she looked at her with an adorable expression.
Xing Beiluo was so shocked he got goosebumps all over: "Speak!"
"Can you lend me some money?" Ali blinked her big eyes and looked at her with a grin.
Borrow money?!
Xing Beiluo's face immediately darkened: "You have some immature ideas, but my country has a complete property protection law."
Making friends is fine.
Borrow money...
Absolutely not!
"Oh, Luo Luo~ Good Luo Luo~" Ali quickly took Xing Beiluo's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Do you know that your face isn't really suited for acting cute?" Xing Beiluo pulled her arm back with a look of disgust, and even shook it as if she had countless goosebumps.
"Oh, Lolo, I really want this liger, please help me take a picture of it."
Xing Beiluo was speechless: "Don't be fooled by Ye Shize's nonsense. This lion is weak, and it's uncertain whether it can become an eighth-tier spirit beast. Besides, it will definitely cost a lot of money to raise this tiger-lion beast. Moreover, what benefit would I get?"
Ali grinned at Xing Beiluo and said, "As long as you help me win this tiger-lion beast, I will follow your lead and do whatever you ask."
"Really? Then you'd be willing to give up this tiger-lion beast?"
Ali immediately shook her head: "That won't do, you have to choose another one."
The female lead is indeed the female lead; her thought process is just different from others.
Xing Beiluo was stunned for a second, then burst into laughter. She couldn't help but admire Ali's quick thinking. Ali quickly said, "Don't worry, you definitely won't regret it. I have lots and lots of inside information that will be very useful to you." Ali gave Xing Beiluo a "trust me" look.
Sister! This is a spoiler!
Looking into Ali's sincere eyes, Xing Beiluo nodded almost unconsciously, but then suddenly realized what she meant. Seeing this, Ali quickly said, "Oh, good Luo Luo, I knew you were a very trustworthy person."
Xing Beiluo could only swallow her words and sighed, "Ah, you really have a pair of good eyes."
Ali ignored the nonsensical remark. "Hehe, I knew you were the best! Don't worry, I'll pay you back soon." Ali made no attempt to hide her pride. Finally, she stared at Xing Beiluo and said, "And... actually, your eyes are very beautiful, pure and without impurities, like the stars in the sky. They are the cleanest and brightest eyes I've ever seen."
"Come on, you're trying to flatter me like that. Are you afraid I won't lend it to you?"
No, I believe you.
"Alright, alright, I'll take a picture of it for you. Remember you owe me a favor." I don't know who this Ali is, but she knows a lot.
"By the way, Luo Luo, come here. I have something here that you might be interested in." Ali mysteriously pulled Xing Beiluo aside.
"what?"
"My brother and I are going to sneak into the ancient mansion tonight. Do you want to come with us?"
"Huh? You're just telling me this like that? Aren't you afraid I'll take this information and sell it to the Gu family?"
Xing Beiluo looked at Ali with a mocking expression.
