023. Non-chieftain

"It's back. ”

After some journey, Lu Chen finally returned home, but as soon as he entered the door, he received a prompt from the system in his consciousness.

[Gain popularity +44 due to Lu Xiaowei's resentment]

What the heck?

"Do you still know to come back?" In the living room, Lu Xiaowei's resentful voice came.

"What's wrong?"

After speaking, Lu Chen hurriedly looked at the time on the wall clock, and just saw the hands stop at ten o'clock with a "click", but he didn't expect it to be more than 10 o'clock in the evening.

Normally, at this time, it was almost time for Xiao Wei to wash, and at this moment she was holding a box of instant noodles, and her eyes were full of resentment when she looked at Lu Chen.

"What are you doing, why are you coming back so late!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and felt a little funny in his heart: Are you my old mother?

But after thinking about it, he still didn't plan to tell her about Xia Zhu, so he casually found a reason to prevaricate: "...... Uh, hanging out with friends. ”

"You don't deceive! Where did you get some friends!"

"What the hell are you talking about, I also have friends, okay!"

Lu Chen was speechless, why is this little girl's mouth so poisonous?

Who did you learn these bad things from?

Hearing this, Lu Xiaowei frowned, and she puffed out her round cheeks and said angrily: "Because you don't come back, I can only cook instant noodles and eat them by myself." ”

After speaking, she also held a small fork and slammed it vigorously in the instant noodle bowl, as if to express her dissatisfaction.

"That's great, you'll be able to do it yourself in the future. Lu Chen's face showed sincere relief.

“???”

[Gain popularity +88 due to Lu Xiaowei's anger]

Looking at Lu Xiaowei's bewildered expression, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth raised a smug arc.

"I'll buy you a few more packs next time. ”

[Gain popularity +99 due to Lu Xiaowei's anger]

After speaking, Lu Chen chuckled and then entered the bedroom without looking back.

"Brother, you really hate it! No wonder no girl likes you!!"

Behind him, Lu Xiaowei's shouting looked angry and helpless.

......

......

Sitting at the desk, Lu Chen first roughly sorted out what happened today in his mind, and then opened the system interface.

【—Host Information—]

[Name: Lu Chen]

[Identity: Student]

[Mind: LV.2 (Witty and Smart)]

[Constitution: LV.2 (Living Dragon and Tiger)]

[Charm: LV.1 (mediocre)] (can be improved)

[Popularity: 1825]

[Overall Rating: LV.1 (Ordinary Passerby)] (Upgraded)

【System warehouse can be opened】

[Unlockable Skill Panel] (New skills to learn)

【※The lottery function has been activated】

Lu Chen looked at the information presented in front of him like a scroll, and couldn't help but groan slightly.

Several new items appeared on the list, and the overall evaluation of the place evolved from the original "little transparent" to "passerby".

"System, what is the basis for this evaluation level?"

[When the host's qi value reaches a certain amount, the level will be automatically increased]

Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded slightly, it is estimated that this upgrade is because the popularity value has exceeded 1000 independently.

There are so many things and people I met today, so it's not surprising that the popularity rate has doubled compared to before.

Although it briefly exceeded the 1,000 value last night, it was because the system's Starter Pack contained 1000 bonus points, which did not belong to the scope of self-acquisition, so the level was not increased.

"So what's the effect of this popularity rating being upgraded?"

[If the comprehensive evaluation reaches LV.1, you can automatically get 1000 popularity points on the first day of every month]

Does this system also bring a guaranteed salary?

In this regard, Lu Chen raised his eyebrows in some surprise, after all, in his previous impression, this system is not good at picking the door, and the props sent are all disposable.

And now that there is no favorability detector, he doesn't know what state Xia Zhu's attitude towards him has developed.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen sighed helplessly, and had to look at the attribute column.

[Mind: LV.2 (Witty and Smart)]

[Constitution: LV.2 (Living Dragon and Tiger)]

[Charm: LV.1 (mediocre)] (can be improved)

I saw that in the system bar, [Mind] and [Physique] are both gray locked states, and the level cannot be upgraded, presumably because the popularity value is too low to upgrade.

As for the [Charm] item, because the starting level is one level lower, it only costs 1000 popularity points to upgrade by two levels.

But Lu Chen looked at the content in the brackets, hesitated for a while, and finally gave up on upgrading.

There's nothing wrong with being mediocre.

It is better to say that ordinary life is Lu Chen's highest pursuit of life.

Why are you so handsome?

Am I the kind of person who needs to eat with my face?

So, Lu Chen shook his head and turned to open the skill panel. I saw a blue light in his sea of consciousness, and then a page appeared in front of his eyes.

【Skill Learned: Eagle Eye】

【※Learnable Skill: Calm】

"Calm down?" Lu Chen muttered the name of the skill that sounded very casual, and then clicked on the detailed skill description.

【Skill Name: Calm】

[Skill Effect: Can allow the user to enter the state of a sage in an instant, greatly improving the ability to think rationally]

[Popularity required for learning: 1000]

"Sage Status ......"

For this very slotted skill description, Lu Chen decided to learn after thinking for a while.

He is currently at the end of the vacation of his sophomore year of high school, and the day after tomorrow in September, he will officially enter the most difficult senior year of high school in his student years.

The third year of high school is extremely demanding on students' mental power, so it is crucial to maintain a clear mind and mind whether in study or exams.

So he no longer hesitated, and directly decided to study.

[Skill confirmation learning, deducting 1000 popularity points]

As soon as the system's prompt sounded, a faint silver light appeared in Lu Chen's mind.

With a "boom", the light dispersed and drilled into the nerves of his brain, and a cool and refreshing feeling followed.

【Skill Acquired: Calm】

[Current Level: LV.1]

As soon as the system voice fell, Lu Chen only felt a burst of refreshment in his mind, and his originally slightly tired spirit was instantly a lot easier.

“……”

At present, there are still more than 700 popularity points left, but Lu Chen looked at the newly activated lottery function in the system interface, but fell into deep thought.

To smoke or not to smoke?

This is a metaphysical question.

Especially for people like Lu Chen who have a non-chieftain physique, the face-fighting thing like the lottery always makes him stay away.

But even if they understand this truth in their hearts, most people just love to smoke the more they are non-smoking, and the more they smoke their faces, the darker they become.

It's a pity that Lu Chen belongs to this kind of person who doesn't believe in evil, so he no longer hesitated, and directly clicked on this content.

【Lottery Roulette Wheel Opened】

With the sound of the prompt, a turntable-shaped thing suddenly appeared in front of Lu Chen's eyes.

[Will the lottery start?]

[Single Draw Cost: 100 Popularity Points]

[Ten consecutive draws cost: 900 popularity points]

"Single draw!"

Lu Chen, who was still struggling with whether to smoke it, blurted out almost subconsciously the moment he saw the turntable.

At his command, the lottery wheel began to spin slowly.

"Purr"

The roulette wheel began to spin faster and faster, and the pointer quickly flashed over the colorful areas, and finally slowly stopped in a blank area under Lu Chen's expectant gaze.

【Unfortunately, you failed to win】
