Chapter 15
The Affection System: gain affection points and level up through actions that make beautiful girls feel favorable.
The Resentment System: gain resentment points and level up through actions that make beautiful girls feel resentful.
Luolin possessed both of these systems simultaneously. If one became too strong, it would devour the other, so he needed to maintain a balance between them.
"One room."
Luolin slapped four copper coins on the table and said.
"Huh? What do you mean one room? Two!"
Ailuka immediately voiced her strong dissatisfaction from the side, reaching out to rummage through Luolin's pockets.
"Young lady, we're out of money, understand?"
Luolin was quite helpless.
Did you think a mercenary's life was like in novels? No, reality was much harsher.Low-level commission rewards were pitifully small. For example, a commission to subjugate ordinary goblins would typically only yield a few measly copper coins.
These commissions were posted by the guild and had no restrictions.
Above those were commissions posted by clients themselves, and naturally, these were one-of-a-kind.
But ask yourself, if you were a client, would you feel more comfortable entrusting a commission to a normal four-person party, or to these two people who didn't look particularly bright?
Luolin's level was still too low;
no one was willing to entrust him with anything.
"What do you mean no money? Don't we still have 4 copper here?"
"If you use up these 4 copper, are we going to drink the northwest wind tonight? And tomorrow too?"
Luolin sighed. Life was far harsher than imagined.
"But..."
Ailuka's face flushed red. She knew Luolin was stating facts, but she still couldn't accept it.
Sharing a room with this pervert made it difficult to guarantee her own safety.
"Isn't it because your abilities are too weak! That's why no one wants to come!"
Ailuka said again.
"What about you? You saved up for a year or two and only accumulated a dozen copper coins, and you still have the nerve to talk!"
Luolin had previously thought Ailuka had spent a huge sum to save him.
But in the end, it was only a measly dozen copper.
"That... that's because..."
Ailuka tried to refute again, then once more found herself speechless.
She couldn't bring herself to say it was because she ate too much.
Ailuka's strength was extraordinarily high, which also meant her appetite was extraordinarily large.
"So just make do!"
Luolin stopped paying attention to Ailuka and went about handling the procedures on his own. From behind, he seemed to sense Ailuka's resentful gaze.
No, it was killing intent!
[Resentment Value +20]
[Ailuka's Current Accumulated Resentment Value: 200]
[Held Resentment Value: 320]
Luolin's objective was achieved, and he immediately broke into a smile.
"Here."
Luolin handed Ailuka the room key he had just received from Luna.
"What are you doing?"
Ailuka's cold tone hadn't changed yet.
"Go by yourself. I'll spend the night in the hall tonight, and I hope I won't freeze to death."
Luolin said with a smile. Ailuka held the key in her hand, silent.
"I... I never said you had to sleep in the hall... No, if you freeze to death, it's your own fault, but I don't need your charity!"
[Affection +50]
[Ailuka's Accumulated Affection: 800]
[Current Affection: 1000]
[Debt: 100000]
The repayment of one hundred thousand was still far away.
However, since Ailuka's affection level reached two stars, Luolin still felt much more relaxed.
This star level was also very important. Going from one star to two stars required 500 accumulated affection, and from two stars to three stars was 2000, which wasn't far off.
However, Luolin discovered that not all actions could continuously generate affection or resentment values.
After all, the same routine couldn't always be effective.
Just then, a girl with flowing silver hair walked past Luolin.
"See that? That's the third-tier Paladin who saved you last time."
Luna also whispered beside Luolin. Luolin was slightly surprised.
If she had intervened to save him, it probably wasn't for a dozen copper coins. It seemed she was also a good person. If she didn't have a team, perhaps...
"Hello, Miss Paladin..."
Luolin didn't know her name, so he could only greet her this way.
She glanced at Luolin, then nodded and said softly:
"Hello..."
No condescending tone—very good, there's a chance!
"May I ask if you have a team? If not, would you mind having one? If you do, would you mind changing to another? If you mind... then would you like to add one more member?"
Luolin seized the opportunity and spoke extremely quickly.
"Goodbye."
However, she was also very decisive. After saying that, she took the key handed over by the front desk and left.
This person is also quite strange...
Luolin's plan was shattered.
[Resentment +10]
[Resentment +10]
[Resentment +10]
........
Wait, where is this resentment coming from?
Luolin was initially quite puzzled, but when he turned around, he saw Ailuka's unpleasant expression. Well, now Luolin knew where the resentment value came from.
