[ Ether adaptability increases by 60%!]
[I'm leaving now! If you call me again, I'm running away from home! If I don't sleep, I won't grow taller! Can't you read the mood?! Goodbye!!!]
Well, that explained nothing. What exactly is Ether adaptability?
And now that I've crossed worlds, I also have to babysit a system too? So annoying… (｀Δ′)!
Ye Qingfeng didn't call out to the system again, mainly because he was afraid it would actually run away. He picked up the the second potions, opened it and drank it all in one go. Then he stood up excitedly, trying to sense the changes in his body.
He threw a few experimental punches but didn't feel any stronger. Then, with hopeful and eager eyes, he slowly lifted his shirt.
The abs he was hoping for hadn't appeared, and he felt a little disappointed. Just as he was about to complain that the potion might be fake, a sudden dizziness washed over him. Using the last of his strength, he collapsed onto the bed.
With great effort, he pulled the blanket up to his navel, finally feeling satisfied. He closed his heavy eyelids and drifted into sleep.
The next day, the first rays of morning sunlight broke through the clouds and, unobstructed by curtains, boldly entered the room, shining directly onto the bed.
The strands of light, like finely sifted sand, spread delicately and evenly.
Every corner of the bed was bathed in this warm glow, instantly brightening the once-dim surface.
[Get! Up! Hurry up and get out of bed—the sun is shining on your butt!!]
A voice, noisy like a bratty little girl, echoed in Ye Qingfeng's mind, though it wasn't actually unpleasant to hear. He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze still clouded with confusion and sleepiness.
The sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, dappling his face. He instinctively squinted, adjusting to the sudden brightness.
Where am I…? Oh right, I crossed over.
[The host is finally awake. Sleeping in isn't a good habit, you know? And the effects of the potion should have been completely~ absorbed by your body by now!]
Ye Qingfeng ignored the system's chatter. He quickly opened the door, rushed downstairs, and dashed into the bathroom in one smooth motion.
Standing in front of the toilet, relief washed over his face. Suddenly, he remembered something and quickly asked:
'System, you can't see this, right…?'
[You want me to watch you use the toilet?!! You really are a pervert!!! Automatic supervision activated for one day! I won't be here today, so don't call me again!] Σ(▼□▼メ)
'Hey! Wait!'
[Beep! How can I assist the host?]
'N…never mind, you can go back.'
Ye Qingfeng sighed helplessly, shook himself off a couple of times, and pulled up his pants.
Sigh… I need to buy some essentials soon. I wonder if 5,000 Denny will be enough.
He walked unhurriedly to the sink and looked at himself in the mirror, admiring his reflection.
I feel like I've gotten even handsomer! Wait…! I think I've grown a bit taller. I was only 170 cm before, but now I'm probably around 177 cm.
And were my arms this muscular before?
Ye Qingfeng's eyes lit up. Full of anticipation, he looked down and abruptly lifted his shirt. Eight well-defined abs met his gaze, like carefully sculpted works of art.
Whoa! So cool!
He admired himself in the mirror for a moment, then felt a bit sticky. Remembering he hadn't showered yesterday, he thought about bathing but frowned when he realized he had no change of clothes.
'System, do you have any clothes?'
[Beep! No.]
Ye Qingfeng made a displeased "Tch" sound and started thinking of a solution.
Going out to buy some isn't really practical. What if I get lost? There are probably clothes drying on the second-floor balcony, but they're likely all women's clothes.
Ye Qingfeng had to give up on the idea of showering for now. He cupped water in his hands, washed his face, and walked out of the bathroom. He glanced up at the clock hanging in the living room.
7:32 am
Hmm~ It's still quite early. Looks like his body clock is still as punctual as ever.
If I recall, none of them have dark circles under their eyes, so they probably don't stay up late often. They should wake up around 8 o'clock. I'll make them breakfast!
Ye Qingfeng sat on the living room sofa for a while, first asking the system to clarify how the Favorability System worked. After understanding it, he went into the kitchen and started making breakfast.
He casually opened the fridge and sighed silently at the rather meager ingredients inside. He took out what he could use, heated the pan with oil, and started cooking.
While keeping an eye on the heat, he recalled the system's explanation:
The target must be seen with your own eyes to determine if they are romanceable.
Favorability stages are at 40%, 60%, 80%, and over 90%.
Reward levels are divided into B, A, and S!
Reach 40% favorability: Get 2 draw chances.
Note: This is roughly at the friend level.
Reach 60% favorability: Get 5 draw chances.
Note: They most likely won't refuse if you ask them out.
Reach 80% favorability: Get 10 draw chances.
Note: They most likely won't refuse if you propose.
When favorability reaches 90% or above, it will never drop below 90%, and you will receive 10 draw chances monthly.
Note: Even if you're caught cheating in bed, you don't have to fear a "kitchen knife" ending.
However, depending on the situation and the person's personality, nothing is absolute!
[If both Nico and Anby reach 40% favorability, and the protagonist goes to borrow money from each separately, Nico will most likely refuse, while Anby will most likely agree. You get the idea, right?????? ]
[Don't think about getting something for nothing. Without taking action, favorability won't increase. Similarly, favorability can also decrease due to certain actions.]
After mentally reviewing the system's settings, Ye Qingfeng finished cooking breakfast. He carried the plates out of the kitchen, looked around but couldn't find a dining table, so he had to place them on the living room table.
After going back and forth three times, just as he wanted to catch his breath, he happened to see Anby coming down the stairs.
[Beep! Romanceable target: Anby Demara]
[Initial Favorability: 10%]
"Something smells good."
Anby stopped and looked expressionlessly at the scene before her, a tone of anticipation in her voice as she spoke to Ye Qingfeng.
He turned his head toward the sound and got a clear view of her pajama style and her petite, cute figure.
Her pajama top had loose bat-wing sleeves, giving her plenty of room to move while cleverly complementing her figure.
The pajama pants were straight-legged, with clean lines extending from her waist to her knees, revealing her slender calves. The lines were graceful, firm yet supple, showing signs of long-term training.
The pajamas were light green overall, with white stripes about a centimeter wide, clinging to her petite frame, which was under 160 cm.
Heh… The Favorability System is the best!
