Chapter 31 Can Favorability Rating Be Negative?
After those people left, Cheng Xiao discovered that he could finally move his body again.
This body had its supreme spiritual bone removed, leaving it not only devoid of all cultivation but also extremely weak. Just standing up required a great deal of effort.
Cheng Xiao also had no way to immediately solve the problem he was experiencing.
He could barely support his body with his divine sense, at least to allow the body to move normally.
If he didn't have the cultivation level to ascend to immortality, and was just an ordinary soul entering this instance, then it would truly be a cataclysmic start.
Isn't this a bit too much of a leap in difficulty?
What's even stranger is this "female lead".
After Cheng Xiao stood up, he looked at Xiao Long, who was slumped on the ground.
The little dragon was in terrible condition; its tendons had been pulled out and its scales had been ripped off. If it weren't for the power in its bloodline supporting it, it would probably be a dead dragon by now.
Cheng Xiao now has two main questions.
First, he is human, so shouldn't the system's chosen romantic partner also be human?
Why is it a dragon?
Even putting aside the first point, why is the favorability rating above the dragon girl's head a negative number?
Why is the affection level -100?
Cheng Xiao remembered that when he first met Chu Ning, Chu Ning's favorability rating was a full thirty.
It seems this dungeon is exceptionally difficult.
He not only had to figure out how to win over the female lead, but also how to ensure that both he and the dragon could survive.
Seeing the death wish in the dragon's eyes, it probably didn't want to live anymore.
Dragons are proud creatures, and now that they have suffered such a great humiliation, they must want to end their own lives. It's just a pity that she doesn't even have the ability to end her own life right now.
Cheng Xiao used his divine sense to sever the perception of pain, and he was finally able to act like a normal person.
He walked to the Dragon Girl's side and looked at the pair of golden vertical pupils on the ground.
Those vertical pupils were filled with hatred.
Before he could say anything, the dragon girl bit his shoe.
However, since all her teeth had been pulled out, she wasn't very intimidating.
"Not bad, if you still have the strength to bite, it means you can still live." Cheng Xiao roughly scooped the Dragon Girl up from the ground.
It's unclear whether Hakimi, who was guiding the game, had just woken up or had finally given up.
Cheng Xiao heard a sharp explosion in his mind.
"Hey! Can you be a little gentler? You've only just met. You need to gain her trust first to increase her favorability."
The events of the last instance are still vivid in my mind.
This time he plans to provide personal guidance.
But Cheng Xiao clearly had no intention of listening. He coldly replied in his mind, "It's not even certain whether the female lead you chose for me this time will survive."
"She's a dragon, she won't die easily, she'll definitely live," Hakimi quickly said.
However, this did not stop Cheng Xiao's violent behavior.
He carried the dragon girl and found his residence by following the route in the original owner's memory.
It was a somewhat dilapidated courtyard that had been neglected for years and was clearly intended for servants.
The only redeeming quality is that it's relatively clean.
It's likely that the family members had no intention of caring for Chengxiao, so they just left him in a corner to fend for himself.
After opening the wooden door, Cheng Xiao entered the room. The room was simply furnished, with only a bed and a table, and not even a chair.
Cheng Xiao carelessly tossed the Dragon Girl onto the ground, instantly staining the once clean surface with large patches of blood.
Because of the rain, the air was filled with the smells of earth and blood.
After abandoning the dragon girl, Cheng Xiao didn't say a word.
Without even glancing at it, he sat directly on the bed and began to meditate, preparing to enter a state of deep concentration.
"I think you should listen to me. At least comfort her and improve her impression of you," Hakimi advised again.
This time, Cheng Xiao simply ignored him.
Hakimi always tries to get the game back on track, but the players always seem to have their own ideas.
After entering a meditative state, Cheng Xiao's soul left his body and began to observe the body from the outside.
He felt that the difficulty of this instance lay not only in how to win over the female protagonist, but also in how to survive under such harsh conditions.
According to the various levels of cultivation in the immortal world, such as Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul, this body's previous strength was probably at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage, just one step away from breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
Judging from the skeleton, this body is sixteen years old, which would make it a genius among ten thousand in the cultivation world.
But his father favored his concubine over his wife.
The illegitimate son said he wanted the supreme spiritual bone in the original owner's body, so the original owner's father actually dug out the bone and gave it to the illegitimate son. The former eldest young master was thrown here like trash.
Cheng Xiaoguan's body still has meridians, but it lacks spiritual bones, resulting in severe damage to his vital energy and loss of all cultivation.
To increase the difficulty of the dungeon, the system hid his cultivation level.
But this was no challenge for Cheng Xiao at all.
Once a cultivator enters the Integration Stage, their physical body and soul have become highly integrated, essentially one entity, and their soul also retains a large amount of spiritual power.
As long as he can find a way to inject the spiritual power from his soul into this body, he will be able to regain his cultivation.
but......
His soul contained the pure spiritual power of the Great Perfection of the Mahayana stage, which this body simply could not withstand. If he forcibly injected it, it would only cause this body to explode and die.
As Cheng Xiao was pondering a solution, he turned his gaze to the Dragon Girl, who was still lying on the ground, half-dead.
In the Cangling Continent, beast taming is revered. The master-servant blood pact that person just made between Cheng Xiao and the Dragon Girl was something he had never seen before. As a world where beast taming is the main focus, the blood pact was exceptionally ingenious.
He analyzed the function of the blood pact as soon as it was imprinted.
Besides allowing their owners to control the spirit beast unconditionally, the spirit beast can also bear death in place of its owner.
If the master dies, the spirit beast will also die. If the spirit beast's cultivation level increases, the master's cultivation level will also increase.
Cheng Xiao had an idea in mind.
Since this body cannot directly absorb his Mahayana stage spiritual power, why doesn't he just slowly infuse the spiritual power into the dragon girl's body?
She survived such a terrible ordeal, which shows that her bloodline power is extremely strong.
After the spiritual energy circulated through the dragon girl's body, cleansing her marrow and bones, he used a blood pact to draw back the gentle blood energy to nourish his mortal body.
After having an idea, Cheng Xiao's soul returned to his body.
He got up from the bed and walked to the half-dead dragon girl's side.
When Hakimi saw Cheng Xiao approaching the female lead again, he immediately perked up.
He urged again, "Alright, it's time to show your gentleness. Use your gentle heart to touch her heart and let her know that there is still warmth in this world..."
Before he could finish speaking, he realized that Cheng Xiao seemed not to be listening to him at all.
He took out a knife, cut a piece of meat from a piece of meat hanging on the roof beam, and then threw it directly in front of the dragon girl.
"If you don't want to die, eat something." He squatted down next to the dragon girl and poked the piece of meat with his knife.
The Dragon Girl was determined to die.
Upon seeing the piece of meat, he immediately closed his eyes.
No matter how Cheng Xiao pushed her forward, she absolutely refused to eat a single bite.
"I think you could cut off a small piece and feed it to her now," Hakimi continued to persuade her.
Seeing that the dragon girl wasn't eating, Cheng Xiao calmly got up and picked up a towel to wipe the oil off his hands.
Then, amidst Hakimi's exclamation, he kicked the meat away.
The meat chunk slid for a long time before stopping, and the once smooth pink meat chunk was now covered in mud.
"I don't want to eat because I'm not hungry. I'll ask you again later."
