I Really Didn't Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 2

Whats this, a system? Damn it! Dont the readers dislike system stories nowadays?

Although startled, he quickly recovered. However, he didnt want any system; he had no particular desires.

Become stronger? This is a normal world, and he doesnt have the habit of wearing underwear outside.

Become handsome? But hes already quite ordinary, isnt he? Become rich? Hes a reborn person with a comfortable life already. There are regrets, but theyre not things a system is necessary for; he can handle them on his own.

Having both parents, a harmonious family, and living happily throughout life is more important than anything else.

Sudent Xu, are you feeling unwell?

Su Qingwan, who initially planned to have a bit of fun, rushed over in concern when she saw Xu Lin suddenly leaning back.

Teacher, Im fine. I just felt a bit dizzy, probably low blood sugar.

Then quickly eat the ice cream.

Teacher, you wont report me, right? Xu Lin joked.

No, at least this time, Im an accomplice. Su Qingwan opened the packaging and took a small bite.

Teacher, take your time eating. Ill go to the infirmary for a moment.

Didnt you say youre fine?

Ill just check if its heatstroke. You dont have to follow me.

With that, as if there was something urgent, he quickly left the small grove.

Watching the retreating figure, Su Qingwan murmured to herself, Su Qingwan, youre too naive. You actually got tricked by a student into eating ice cream.

But this Xu Lin, after being rejected in his confession, doesnt seem like the somewhat dull bookworm he used to be.

Well, as long as it doesnt affect his studies, its a good thing. I remember that he has good grades.

Of course, Xu Lin didnt go to the infirmary. Instead, he found an empty meeting room where nobody usually went and began to examine this twelve-zodiac love system.

Although the name was unique, the interface was extremely simple. Calling out the system yielded no artificial intelligence nonsense.

The main interface currently has only two options: Personal Information and Shop.

[Name: Xu Lin]

[Age: 17]

[Gender: Male]

[Birthdate: December 21, 1996]

[Zodiac: Rat]

[Intelligence: 6 (average for adult males: 5)]

[Physique: 3 (average for adult males: 6)]

[Charm: 8 (average for adult males: 5)]

[System Items: None]

[Abilities: Writing LV2, Chinese Cooking LV1, Manga LV1, Singing LV1, Archery LV1, Xu Family Self-Defence LV2]

[Points: 500]

My guitar skill isnt even LV1. The system is quite strict. Well, at least my ordinary looks got recognition~

But seriously, why is my physique only 3? I exercised. Oh, right, my body during high school was indeed quite frail. Lets check out the shop first.

Xu Lin closed the personal information and opened the shop, which currently had only seven items.

[+1 Intelligence: 20,000 points]

[+1 Physique: 4,000 points]

[+1 charm: 200,000 points]

[Upgrade any LV1 ability to LV2: 5,000 points]

[Zodiac Locator (Disposable): 50 points]

[Basic Combat Level 1: 1,000 points]

[Short-term Physique Enhancement Card (1 hour): 100 points]

Shop abilities refresh weekly; basic attributes remain unchanged. [As points accumulate, the shop will change.]

These prices are ridiculous. Whats the locator, and most importantly, how do I earn points?

Xu Lin returned to the main page with a sigh, and a ding sounded in his head.

A new option appeared on the main page:

**Favorability Rating**.

Favorability? With my charm at 8, do I still need favorability to impress girls?

Curious, he clicked into it, finding only one profile. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Teacher Su, whom he had just chatted with.

He clicked in again, and a data bar appeared.

[Su Qingwan]

[Age: 23]

[Gender: Female]

[Zodiac: Horse]

[Intelligence: 7.4]

[Physique: 4]

[Charm: 8]

[Favorability: 12 (8 points until the next point reward)]

Teacher Su has such high intelligence and an even higher physique than a guy like me. Wait, maybe my physique is just too low.

Charm is as expected, and this Favorability 12 is at the bottom. He would get point rewards when it reached 20.

If its in base 10, he has already received one reward, and those 500 points likely came from Teacher Su; thats when the system activated.

In that case, this system is just a guide-to-girls system. Gain favorability, get point rewards, and then buy items.

So, what does this have to do with the Twelve Zodiacs? Well, he wont woo girls for points; that would be irresponsible.

No marriage, no teasing, isnt that just being a scoundrel?!

No, its called boundless love!

Before closing the system, he decided to buy a locator to give it a try.

Increasing favorability is one thing, but why does it have to be related to the Zodiacs?

Just curious; hes just curious. Hes an honest, good boy!

After purchasing and using it, a mark appeared on his palm, similar to a tattoo.

With a gentle tap, the mark instantly dissipated, leaving a golden thread in the air, seemingly guiding him.

He quickly walked out of the meeting room, following the golden thread. From the left side of the corridor, he reached the far right and stopped in front of a small room.

This is the storage room for books that dont fit in the library, right? Normally, isnt it locked?

With a bit of confusion, he approached, gently pushed the door, and it creaked open. A damp smell wafted out, and the room was dimly lit.

Accompanied by the incoming light, a figure in a blue and white oversized school uniform was startled. The books in her hands fell to the ground.

Sorry, I didnt mean to startle you.

He quickly crouched down to pick up the books. The girl shook her head.

Its fine.

After gathering the books, he handed them over, taking a closer look at the girls appearance.

She was a girl with short hair resembling a hedgehog, wearing black-framed glasses, and having a dark complexion.

Although she was quite thin, her facial features were good. When she took the books, he could even see the bone structure of her fingers.

Despite her slim frame, she was not short. Standing beside her, his 176 cm felt a bit pressured. This girl was at least 170 cm tall.

Which class are you from? Havent you finished class yet?

Im from Class 7. The teacher asked me to come and get some books.

Her voice was very soft, but in the quiet room, he could still hear it.

Let me help you. We have a physical education class, and its almost time to finish. We have free activities now.

No, you cant carry them.

Hmm? He immediately felt challenged. Although his physique was only 3, moving some books was not a problem.

Then, in the next moment, he saw her stack more than ten books on a pile of test papers, reaching up to her waist.

Hey, classmate, are you going to carry all these at once?

Yes.

This is too much; Ill find someone to help you.

No, its not necessary! Thanks, classmate. Ill leave first.

After saying that, with a sudden pull, dozens of pounds of books and papers were hugged close, heading towards the exit.

Watching the effortless manner of the other person, he realised the system seemed to have some use.

Improving physical fitness is necessary; otherwise, encountering such situations in the future would be embarrassing.

Just help me lock the door, classmate, thanks. The other person took a few steps out and said to him.

Okay. He picked up a small lock, secured the door, turned around, and saw that the other person had already descended the stairs.

He then realised that the other person seemed to be a senior, as 27 class was on the third floor, and the building behind was for the seniors.

Oh, right, there should be detailed information.

He quickly opened the system interface, but the favorability rating didnt display the other persons information, furrowing his brow.

He found the person, so why isnt it showing? Normally, even with low favorability, there should be some display.

Wait, why is it only showing Teacher Su? We havent talked much, either.

With this dumb system, there isnt even a tutorial!

The next second, a line appeared on the screen: System tutorial distribution complete; check it yourself.

With this dog system, you really have your ways. It always feels like this system has a strong flavour of intelligence.

We are currently recruiting. CN/KR/JP Translators/MTLers are welcome!
