Chapter 271: I Can Do Better Than That
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Xun had been filming for the whole day and didn’t know when Mufeng would be back, so she went to bed early.
At night, she could vaguely hear the sound of a card sweeping to open the door.
Jiang Xun didn’t mind and went back to sleep.
Mufeng entered the room in the dark.
He glanced at his phone. Actually, he wasn’t late. It was only 10 o’clock.
He didn’t expect Jiang Xun to sleep so early.
Mufeng was careful not to make too much noise. He took a quick shower and washed up. Then, he gently lifted the blanket and lay down beside Jiang Xun.
Just as he laid down, Jiang Xun turned over and rolled into Mufeng’s arms.
Mufeng had already adjusted to the dark environment. Now that he lowered his head, he could more or less see Jiang Xun’s face clearly.
Noticing the difference in her breathing, Mufeng asked in a low voice, “You’re awake?”
“What time is it?” Jiang Xun was indeed asleep, but after hearing the sound of him entering the room, she couldn’t fall asleep even if she wanted to. At this moment, she asked in a daze.
Mufeng touched the phone that was placed on the bedside table and took a look. “10:30.”
“Are you still sleepy?” Mufeng asked after putting down the phone.
Jiang Xun: “…”
She didn’t feel like answering him right now.
This man couldn’t skip even one night.
“I remember that you praised me for doing a good job during the day.” In the darkness, the man’s low and hoarse voice and the warmth of his breathing was at Jiang Xun’s forehead.
“Mm.” Jiang Xun tried to deceive him.
Mufeng lowered his eyes and chuckled. “I can do better than that.”
Jiang Xun: “…”
It wasn’t that she didn’t say anything this time. It was that before she could say anything, her lips were blocked by Mufeng.
She had already been immobilized by him, and he actually still asked, “Are you tired from filming today?”
Jiang Xun was so angry that she kicked his calf. “It’s too late for you to ask now!”
“Yeah.” Mufeng was not ashamed at all. “It’s just a formality.”
“Get lost!” Jiang Xun was so angry that she kicked him again.
He still had the nerve to say that it was just a formality!
This bastard!
She was wrong, it was her mistake!
It was all her fault for coveting this bastard’s looks previously, which caused her stance and thoughts to be not firm enough. She even naively took the initiative to provoke him, which resulted in the current situation.
A man who knew the taste couldn’t even be kicked away.
“I feel like a drug boy now,” Mufeng suddenly said.
Jiang Xun:”…”
“Aren’t you a little shameless?” Jiang Xun ridiculed. “How old are you? Why are you still a drug boy?”
Mufeng was silent for a moment. “Age doesn’t matter. In any case, my professional skills as a drug boy are very high.”
Jiang Xun: “…”
She reacted for a long time before she came back to her senses.
Jiang Xun was still in a daze when she heard Mufeng say in her ear, “Did you not praise me in vain during the day?”
In the end, his calf was kicked by Jiang Xun again.

In the morning, Jiang Xun went to the filming set.
On the way, the system said, “Host, your current merit points are already 27,459 points.”
“That’s right,” Jiang Xun replied lazily, “But my favorability is only 12,647 points, and I’m still 80,000 points away from the mission target.”
The system said, “To be precise, you’re 87,353 points away.”
Jiang Xun: “…”
Jiang Xun said, “I didn’t expect that favorability points would be harder to get than merit points.”
The system said, “That’s not a problem. When you become more famous and have more fans, your favorability points will be much easier to get.”
The system replied, “But you have so many merit points now, are you only going to keep them?”
Jiang Xun replied, “I don’t want to increase my ability points too high for now. If it’s too heaven-defying, people will suspect me. As for the purification points, it’s not convenient to add them here.”
She planned to see which day she would end work early. Since Mufeng hadn’t gotten off work, she would add them when she was in the hotel room.
The system replied, “The purification points at the back shouldn’t be able to improve your appearance anymore. The main point is to cleanse the impurities in your body.”
Jiang Xun had never cared about the improvement of appearance. It was better to focus on internal cultivation.
Jiang Xun said, “Tell me, why did you suddenly mention merit points? My merit points are enough to open the next mission, but I haven’t completed this mission yet. I can’t open the next one either.”
The system said, “Since you have a lot of merit points now, you can consider opening the system store.”
Jiang Xun paused, and said,”I knew you would have something that could scam merit points.”
The system was speechless.
The system said, “Cough! You can’t say that. I realize that you have a deep misunderstanding about me.”
Jiang Xun said, “Cut the crap.”
The system was silent again.
It must be the most useless system out of all of them.
It couldn’t be helped, after all, it had followed the host so far!
System: “There are many good things in the system store that can be traded with merit points. For example, there are many skill points in the store. Host, in the entertainment industry, you need to use too many skills, such as singing skills, and dance skills. Most importantly, now that you are developing in the field of acting, your acting skills need to be greatly improved, and you can also buy acting skills.”
Jiang Xun was really tempted when she heard this.
Jiang Xun said, “Will I be spending 10,000 merit points to unlock the store first, then spend 10,000 merit points to buy a skill panel, and then use the merit points to exchange for skill points to increase my skill levels?”
The system: “…”
The host seemed to have figured out their plot.
Jiang Xun sneered, “Where is the system store?”
System: “Here.”
The system marked it for her.
Jiang Xun saw that the top right corner of the system page had the word “Store” written on it. It was really plain and unadorned.
At this moment, the word “Store” was still gray, just like an unopened quest.
Without needing the system’s guidance, Jiang Xun directly clicked on the store.
System: “Do you wish to spend 10,000 merit points to open the system store?”
In the end, Jiang Xun did not make a move.
The system quickly asked, “Host? Is there something you’re not satisfied with? Why haven’t you opened it yet?”
Jiang Xun: “Why are you so eager to get me to open the system store today?”
System: “To tell you the truth, recently we’ve been doing an excellent system business evaluation. The system that earns the highest merit points will receive an excellent system reward, which will be very helpful for my promotion in the future.”
Jiang Xun: “For a system… you have quite a career goal.”
System: “…”
Jiang Xun: “Opening the store with 10,000 merit points is permanent, right? There’s no need to spend 10,000 merit points every time, right?”
System: “Hehe, look at what you’re saying. Even the system isn’t so conniving.”
The host was a little too cautious now.
After getting a positive answer from the system, Jiang Xun spent 10,000 merit points to open the system store.
The system store was indeed filled with a variety of things.
Jiang Xun said, “Have your programmers spent all their energy on developing this store? The layout of this store is reasonable and the graphics are exquisite. Compared to this, the system outside the store is like a fake.”
