Chapter 80 Becoming a New Working-Class Person
Chapter 80 Becoming a New Working-Class Person
Bai Li thought she was being clever and tried to exploit a loophole in the system, but things didn't go as planned.
After all that, the Mountain Spirit's favorability rating remained at 79 points without any improvement, and he even ended up getting himself into trouble.
"A giant in words, a dwarf in deeds."
That's exactly the kind of person Bai Li is talking about.
Bai Li is well-informed in the 2D world; she knows all sorts of plots and tropes.
However, in the 3D world, she is a complete novice when it comes to relationships. Having never been in a relationship, she has never even been involved in one.
It's too much for her to suddenly jump to the point of having a sugar daddy/sugar baby and then having an intimate relationship with him.
Besides, the one in front of me might not even be the docile and adorable puppy type.
The mountain spirit, who was just moments ago so shy he was about to faint, now seemed to be showing a hint of eagerness. His eyes were bright and sparkling, just like the silver ornaments on his face.
At this delicate moment, Bai Li's gaze inadvertently fell on his lips. His lips were soft, tender red, and extremely alluring in shape, adorned with a lip piercing.
Will we run into each other?
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Bai Li looked away abruptly, as if she had been burned.
She took a deep breath and kept reminding herself: "Form is emptiness!"
What is the story behind the Mountain Spirit?
The character card says he's socially awkward and slow to warm up, right?
She was completely unaware that her thoughts had subtly shifted.
Her growing wealth gradually eroded her clear understanding of money. For her, ten million was just an amount she could easily earn in a day, but for others, it was undoubtedly an irresistible temptation.
Even the wealthy in the conventional sense would be tempted by ten million, let alone how attractive it would be to a poor ghost like Shan Gui who is struggling financially.
Even the most socially awkward and slow-to-warm-up person will instantly transform into a social butterfly upon hearing about an opportunity to earn ten million a month.
That's great, the situation has completely reversed.
The person who is now unwilling to face the situation has become a white pear.
At this moment, Bai Li really wanted to travel back in time and shake the reckless version of herself from a minute ago.
She simply couldn't imagine what level of atomic bomb explosion would occur in her home if she really brought the mountain spirit home.
You're so sharp-tongued!
Why are you asking such pointless questions!
Dead-brained!
Think of a solution quickly!
In a moment of desperation, Bai Li had a brilliant idea. She remembered that she had accumulated quite a few [Intelligence] attribute points, so why not use them now!
She quickly redeemed two [Intelligence] attribute points.
In an instant, his brain raced, replaying every word he had just uttered in his mind.
In a split second, a flash of inspiration struck.
I've figured out a solution!
In her heart, Bai Li cried out: "Great Lord Wanxiang Lun, I pay my respects! Thank God for saving me from this dire situation!"
Once she thought of a solution, Bai Li straightened her back instantly, full of confidence.
She put on a stern face and answered the mountain spirit's question in a serious tone:
"Don't call me master, our company doesn't have that kind of corporate culture. Call me boss, from now on you will be the director of our company's music department."
"Huh?" The mountain spirit's expression froze, and he didn't react.
Bai Li raised an eyebrow and asked matter-of-factly, "What 'huh'?"
The mountain spirit was still somewhat puzzled: "Then what was that ten million just now?"
Bai Li cleared her throat, her expression calm and composed, and replied naturally, "The ten million I just mentioned is not your salary, but the expenses of our music department."
"I need someone to help me manage the song copyrights, someone to help me record the songs, someone to be in charge of post-production mixing, and someone to be in charge of releasing the songs and making official announcements. Right now, our music department is short-staffed. Cough cough, for the time being, it's just you. You have to shoulder the responsibility, you know?"
After saying that, Bai Li patted the mountain spirit on the shoulder, her eyes filled with encouragement and expectation, trying to give him some moral support:
"Ten million a month. I want to recruit top musicians to our department. I'm entrusting you with this task, Mr. Shan Gui. I have a lot of confidence in you."
Upon hearing this, the mountain spirit felt a surge of self-mockery and secretly sighed at his own ridiculousness.
How could there possibly be a good deal like ten million a month?
Was it another false alarm?
Does anyone know?
The sense of loss when you go from being the owner to the boss.
It withered.
It has withered.
I was being far too presumptuous.
So that's what "white pear" means.
She didn't mean that.
But the mountain spirit always felt that something was off.
[Mountain Spirit's Favorability -24]
[Mountain Spirit's Favorability: 55]
Just then, Bai Li received a notification sound from the system indicating that her favorability rating had decreased. Her heart tightened, and she thought to herself, "Oh no!"
The mountain spirit frowned, his eyes filled with doubt and contemplation, as if trying to analyze something.
Teacher Shan Gui, stop thinking about it, nothing just happened!
Also, don't let your favorability rating drop, or it will drop below 50 points!
She quickly interrupted the mountain spirit's train of thought: "Of course, I won't treat you unfairly. As the director of our music department, you have a guaranteed monthly salary of 100,000. If you recommend a reliable musician, you'll also get a commission. There are many benefits, including meals and accommodation."
Bai Li chuckled twice, forcing a smile:
"Haha, Teacher Shan Gui, look at this wonderful opportunity! You're the first person I thought of, after all, you're the music teacher who introduced me to the world of music! I'm deeply grateful and will never forget you! Don't overthink it, I invited you here to enjoy this wonderful experience! Haha!"
Bai Li's words successfully interrupted the mountain spirit's train of thought. He raised his head, and the doubt in his eyes was gradually replaced by emotion, with even his eyes slightly reddening.
As expected of Bai Li, he knew he hadn't misjudged her; she was not only talented but also grateful.
With Bai Li's qualifications, he could easily hire a more suitable, authoritative, and professional musician for 100,000 yuan a month, but Bai Li thought of himself first.
[Mountain Spirit's Favorability +10]
[Mountain Spirit's Favorability: 65]
Bai Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the favorability rating notification.
The alarm has been successfully deactivated.
At that moment, Bai Li suddenly realized the truth.
Intelligence is so important!
Sometimes, you still need to add a bit of [intelligence].
Otherwise, we'll really go further and further down the road of disaster!
There must be a reason why the Wheel of Trials gives out so much [intelligence]!
The next level of Xiao Hao's upgrade task is more difficult. Wanxianglun must be afraid that I won't be able to pass Xiao Hao's task, so it gave me so much [IQ]. How could it be a disguised way of saying that I'm stupid? I must have misunderstood Wanxianglun before.
Bai Li transformed from a naive and innocent girl into a die-hard fan of Wanxianglun.
I've decided to gradually increase the [IQ] attribute points from now on.
Maybe with a higher IQ, I'll have a better idea of how to complete Xiao Hao's upgrade mission.
Thank you, Uncle Wanxianglun!
Bai Li silently thanked Wanxianglun once again in her heart.
The mountain spirit was also very moved and thanked Bai Li: "Thank you for your appreciation, boss! I will work hard!"
Seeing the mountain spirit's expression, Bai Li felt gratified.
Feeling touched?
Being moved is the right thing to do!
See how important [IQ] is?
Not only can you turn adversity into opportunity, but you can also sell people out, and they'll thank you.
Mountain Spirit, a 99% new working-class item, get it!
