[Ding! Special event triggered - Old Tree Sprouts New Buds, The Roar of the Petrel]

[Status: Completed]

[Rewards: Versatile Magic Voice, God-level Singing Skills]

Hm?

Chen Cheng, who was feeling saintly and zen at the moment, immediately widened his eyes. There are special events too?

And rewards?

Such a good thing?

Scum immediately stopped lingering with Zhu Zhe and asked the system.

[What counts as a special event?]

[Completely random, unscheduled encounter events. The events are completely hidden, and the notification is sent along with the reward upon task completion.]

Chen Cheng frowned. [Completely random?]

[Yes!]

[In other words, there's no knowing who can trigger the task? And there are no preliminary hints?]

[Yes!]

Chen Cheng understood. This system didn't want buddy to do tasks just for the sake of doing them.

Never mind, he was being very zen about it anyway.

Just by slacking off, he had hundreds of thousands coming in every day; who cared about system rewards anymore?

I don't believe it, surely the system can't make me fly to the heavens.

However, the physical enhancement rewards from Daddy System were truly irresistible.

Chen Cheng continued to look at the rewards. The God-level Singing Skills were easy enough to understand.

It was basically an instant infusion of knowledge, perhaps the singing techniques of a world-class vocalist.

[But what does the first reward mean? Versatile Magic Voice?]

[It allows the host to possess rich voice-changing effects, enabling the user to instantly transform into a "loli," "middle-aged man," "funny," or "robot" tone, and switch between various sound effects at will. You can easily switch between different tones to sing songs of different styles.]

[For example, using a mellow bass tone to sing slow, sentimental songs creates an emotional and steady atmosphere; switching to a bright treble tone to sing impassioned rock songs enhances the song's explosive power and infectiousness, making the performance more layered and rich.]

Holy crap!

Chen Cheng's eyes widened completely. System, you've gone too far.

If you let me play like this, do those "wide-noodle" singers in this space-time even have a way to survive?

( ⊙ o ⊙ ) ...

Uh... what does that have to do with me?

Rotten fish and shrimp should stay where they belong; don't hog the toilet and stink everyone else out.

Chen Cheng rubbed his chin. It seemed the songs he had prepared for the next few days weren't enough.

Hehe~ Hehe~ Hehe~

Chen Cheng laughed uncharitably.

After fantasizing for a while, Chen Cheng turned his head to look at Zhu Zhe, who was staring blankly, questioning her life. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he reached out to put his arm around her shoulders.

Feeling the physical contact, Zhu Zhe finally snapped out of her daze. Meeting Chen Cheng's deep eyes, she spoke:

"Chen Cheng, is this how you always chase girls?"

"Hm?"

Chen Cheng lowered his head and kissed Zhu Zhe.

Clearly, the relationship between the two had taken a significant step forward.

Zhu Zhe did not show any resistance. When Chen Cheng's lips were about to touch hers, Zhu Zhe instinctively pursed her lips and kissed him back.

"What's wrong?" Chen Cheng brushed aside the hair blocking his view, gazing at her affectionately.

"Sleeping with someone on the second date?"

Uh... things have already happened, why say such silly things now?

Chen Cheng smiled and blinked. "Then, were you happy?"

"..."

Zhu Zhe was immediately choked up. She knew that if she gave a negative answer, Chen Cheng would definitely drag her into doing it again.

This guy was like a bull; she needed to take it slow.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Chen Cheng continued to gaslight her: "Since you were happy, why obsess over which date it's okay to sleep together on?"

"Life is short, why set limits for yourself when looking for happiness?"

Scum's tone was calm, and every breath of his words washed over Zhu Zhe's face.

At this moment, Zhu Zhe felt as if his words were magic; everything he said sounded right, and she couldn't find a single word to refute him.

In the end, she could only let out a heavy sigh. "We shouldn't be like this."

Chen Cheng frowned, propped himself up, and leaned over to stare into her eyes. "I'm unmarried, you're unmarried, what's wrong with it?"

"I'm not good enough for you. Whether it's family, education, background, IQ, EQ, job, or even hobbies, I can't think of anything where I match up to you."

Chen Cheng caressed her cheek. "Sister, if all conditions matched, that would be a transaction, not love."

"Or are you saying you only want to trade with me?" As he spoke, Scum's expression changed, and he looked at Zhu Zhe with an 'indifferent face.'

Yeah, he was faking it.

Zhu Zhe looked at Chen Cheng's expression and panicked immediately. "That's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I mean, you're so outstanding, like the stars in the sky, brilliant and bright; you should find a girl like the moon."

Chen Cheng was already in full acting mode.

He frowned, his tone cold. "Am I a rubber ball?"

After saying that, he rolled out of bed and walked straight into the bathroom.

At times like this, the fewer words, the more powerful.

"Chen Cheng, I..."

Scum didn't give Zhu Zhe any chance to explain, taking huge strides.

Zhu Zhe's expression turned bitter. Why did he get angry?

Scum walked into the bathroom, turned on the showerhead, and the water splashed down, the sound of rushing water filling the room.

Scum muttered to himself:

"1", "2", "3", "...", "8"

Just as Chen Cheng was about to say "nine," he suddenly felt a soft touch behind him.

"Chen Cheng, I didn't mean that. I just feel that you're too outstanding, and I'm not good enough for you."

Chen Cheng turned around and held her hand. "Words like 'good enough' or not are just the jealousy of worldly people toward others."

Meeting Chen Cheng's burning gaze, Zhu Zhe felt her heart jump into her throat.

Although the two had already been intimate, that was under the covers; they hadn't been naked and completely exposed like this before.

Yes, she was shy.

Looking at Chen Cheng's moving Adam's apple and his thick pectoral muscles, Zhu Zhe instinctively swallowed her saliva.

This male seducer was truly too alluring.

"Then... then what..."

Chen Cheng used his thumb to wipe Zhu Zhe's thin lips and lowered his head to kiss her.

After a long while, Chen Cheng asked, "What?"

His breath hit Zhu Zhe's already flushed, pretty face directly.

Making Zhu Zhe, who was already burning up, feel even hotter.

With her last shred of reason holding on, she said, "I'm sorry, I..."

Before she could finish, Chen Cheng used his finger to seal Zhu Zhe's lips, looking at her affectionately.

"Never say sorry to me."

"Gigi, to me, you are a girl like the bright moon."

Chen Cheng's words went "drip~," like a drop of scorching lava from the immortal realm falling into an icy lake in the mortal world.

At this moment, Zhu Zhe's closed heart began to melt.
