[BL] Accidental Mark

Chapter 55

Just after Cheng Xia finished sending the WeChat message, a familiar notification appeared in Pei Shaoze's mind.

[Cheng Xia's good impression of you +5.]

[Since the protagonist has reached 95 points of good impression toward you, a reward can be chosen:

A: Increase the task time by 10 years.

B: Get investment funds of 500 million yuan.

C: The system helps select a script that can win the Best Movie Award.]

Pei Shaoze frowned and asked, "It's similar to the original rewards for 80 points of good impression?"

The system exclaimed, [The value has increased! At 80 points, the task time was extended by five years and the investment amount was only 100 million.]

Pei Shaoze naturally remembered the original rewards. He didn't lack money and didn't want the system to help him choose a script, so he chose option A. Now the value had increased by several times. 500 million in funds or an award-winning script? He thought about it for a while before still deciding to choose A. Money could be earned slowly and the script could be carefully selected. The only thing that money couldn't buy was time.

He found that his mindset was gradually changing. If it was when he first came to this world then he would definitely choose B or C. It was because his goal was to increase Cheng Xia's good impression of him to 100 points as soon as possible to return to his original world. He didn't want to stay here too long and it was definitely faster to get funds or a script directly.

Yet somehow, he got along with Cheng Xia for a long time and couldn't let go of this place, let alone Cheng Xia. The thought of Cheng Xia having no one to protect and care for him after Pei Shaoze left made his heart restless like ants were gnawing on it.

Pei Shaoze asked, "I chose option A. Add the reward from last time and I can stay in this world for 20 years, right?"

[Right!]

"What if Cheng Xia's good impression of me reaches 100 points? Do I have to go back right away?"

The system answered, [The task requirement is for Cheng Xia's good impression of you to reach 100 before you can go back. Please read and understand it carefully!]

Pei Shaoze thought about it carefully. Within the set task time, Cheng Xia's good impression had to reach 100. This was the prerequisite for him to return to his original world. There were two cases where he would be wiped out. One was his player points reaching 0 while the other was the good impression failing to reach 100 when the task time ended.

It meant that even if his good impression reached 100, he didn't have to go back during the task time. It was like a game dungeon having a time limit. The boss was resolved in advance but the time limit wasn't over. He could choose to leave the dungeon or stay in the dungeon and explore. The task time was the key to whether he left the world or not! As long as there was time left, he could stay here to accompany Cheng Xia even if the good impression reached 100 points.

Pei Shaoze sighed with relief at this. He was extremely thankful that he chose time for the reward previously.

The system wondered, [Is there anything else you want to ask?]

Pei Shaoze was puzzled. "Today is Cheng Xia's birthday. Aren't you going to release a task?"

[I just wanted to say it. According to the original plot, today's task would be: Spend an unforgettable birthday with Cheng Xia and give him a gift that he likes. I thought you were going to refuse again but you actually completed it ahead of schedule.]
