Ironclad, died and resurrected, I've decided to go to the mic!

After getting rid of Hoshi, Qiye casually asked Himeko when she was leaving.

It's definitely not because he's afraid that Black Tower will trip him up.

Himeko said that they would have to wait a while, as there were still some handover procedures to be completed at the space station, and the train could not leave for the time being.

Qi Ye shrugged helplessly and said, "Never mind."

We're just waiting for Estádio to transfer the ten million.

The rich woman's money hasn't arrived yet, what's the rush?

"Then you can have some free time for now."

Himeko finished speaking with a smile, then turned to coordinate the relief supplies with Estella.

Walter followed.

Danheng leaned against the corner of the wall and closed his eyes to rest.

March 7th sat in the corner, flipping through photos of the maid Black Tower that she had just taken on her camera, laughing as she flipped through them.

Xing stood there carrying a baseball bat, muttering to himself, probably calculating the total value of the supplies he had looted from the space station.

Qi Ye casually found a step to sit on, and suddenly remembered something.

One of his system rules is...

Once he successfully sells the light cone, he will permanently acquire its power and be completely exempt from any side effects.

He had sold light cones before, but he hadn't sold many, so he didn't need them.

Until now, Black Tower has bought "The Hem of the Genius".

Xing bought "Who's Secretly in Love with You".

In other words, he should now be able to visualize his favorability rating.

Moreover, there are no side effects, and you don't have to worry about your favorability being broadcast live.

He tried to activate it.

When I looked up and around, there was a line of text above everyone's head.

He first looked at March 7th.

She was looking down at her camera, a mischievous smile still lingering on her lips.

The finger was poking around on the screen, probably picking out filters for the Black Tower's maid outfit photo.

A line of text floated above her head:

"Affection level 88, from: This guy is actually quite handsome when he's serious, but the next second he makes you want to punch him."

Qi Ye was stunned for a moment.

88? That tall?

But then I remembered that he had blocked the laser earlier.

Although he didn't die completely and came back to life, from March 7th's perspective, he risked his life to save her.

The "hero saves the damsel in distress" trope may be old, but it's still effective.

He subconsciously considered what this level of favorability meant:

If he goes over now and talks to March 7th

"We'll sleep in the same bed tonight."

Will she agree?

Qi Ye felt that if she said it out loud, she would probably blush first, and then punch him on the forehead.

With an affection level of 88, at least she should be able to put an ice pack on him after he gets beaten up.

He then turned to look at the stars.

She kept poking at the potted plant. She poked it once, and the leaves bounced back. She poked it again, and they bounced back again.

A line of text floated above her head:

"Favorability rating 90, from: A good person, you saved my life, you're someone I can trust!"

Qi Ye looked at the line above Xing's head that read, "He saved my life; he's someone you can trust," and couldn't help but chuckle.

This girl calls him a shrew when he's in debt, but she's quite honest once his favorability rating changes.

Then Xing turned her head.

She stared straight at the top of Qiye's head.

Then he strode up to Qiye, bent down, brought his face close to Qiye's, and tilted his head back.

He stared at the top of his head for a long time with the scrutinizing gaze one would use to examine a suspect.

"Good guy, something's not right with you."

"What's wrong with me?"

"Why has your affection for me increased again?"

It was 98 just now, now it's 99.

Xing squinted and pointed a finger at his chest.

"Tell me quickly, are you lusting after my body?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Qi Ye nearly choked on his own saliva, and sprang up from the steps.

"I was just touched! I saw 'Save my dog's life' written above your head."

I think you're pretty loyal, so I was touched. You know what being touched means?

What does this have to do with the body?!

"Can being moved increase favorability?"

Xing tilted her head and retorted with an air of righteous indignation.

Why didn't I give you a raise just because I was touched?

Your score went from 98 to 99, which means you have something to hide.

Be honest, kind man, it won't hurt to admit you're lusting after me.

"I'm not greedy at all—wait a minute,"

Halfway through her sentence, Qi Ye suddenly grasped the key point in her words.

"What did you just say? 98? When did you start seeing the favorability rating at 98?"

"Let's start from the very beginning."

Xing counted on her fingers for him.

"When I first put on the light cone, there was a 98 on your head."

Then it just went up to 99.

Qi Ye was stunned.

His favorability rating was 98 from the very first time he met Xing.

"Wait a moment,"

Qi Ye held her forehead, and another image suddenly flashed through her mind.

"That was before, on the train, when I was wearing the light cone on March 7th..."

She looked at Danheng, then at Himeko, and then at the top of his head.

Her face turned completely red, and she grabbed his collar, saying, "Don't you have any self-awareness?"

He didn't know what he saw on March 7th at the time, but now he has a rough idea.

What he saw on March 7th was his level of affection for her.

And that number is probably not low.

Qi Ye opened her mouth, then closed it again.

He decided not to think about the specifics of what he saw on March 7th.

Sometimes, it's safer to not know than to know.

"A good person,"

Xing's voice pulled him back from his thoughts.

She was still looking up at the top of his head, with the excitement of discovering new gossip.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

"Your favorability rating is the highest among those around me."

It started at 98, now it's 99.

Based on my years of experience with visual novels, have you fallen for me at first sight?

Qi Ye took a deep breath and felt her blood pressure rising at a visible rate.

He held up a finger and pointed at Xing's nose.

"First, where did you get so many years of experience in visual novels?"

You have amnesia!

You even had to think for a long time before you remembered your own name!

You don't remember anything!

"That's muscle memory."

The star remained unmoved.

"Muscle memory is for fighting, not for memorizing visual novels!!!"

Qi Ye's voice rose at least an octave.

What did you remember after you lost your memory?

Sexual compensation, cheat codes, visual novel strategy?

What kind of life did you live before?

"A Speedrun Guide to Dating Games?!"

"There's still baseball."

Xing added, patting the baseball bat on his shoulder.

"Yes, and baseball too."

So the four things you need to remember are: sexual favors, cheat codes, visual novels, and baseball.

Don't you think there's something wrong with this combination?

Xing tilted her head, thought about it seriously, and then nodded:

"It is indeed a bit of a mixed bag. But it's all very practical."

"Where is it even useful?!"

"What use is my experience with visual novels in analyzing your feelings for me?"

Xing raised a finger and spoke eloquently.

"Look, you got 98 when I put on the light cone, which means you were very fond of me from the very first meeting."

What else would you call this if not love at first sight? Would you call it wanting to sell your hairpin the moment you see it?

"That's the kind of light cone you want to buy the moment you see it!"

Qi Ye clung to this lifeline and refused to let go.

"I wanted you to buy the Light Cone to increase my favorability!"

"You don't have a single penny on you. How can I ask you to buy things if I don't have feelings for you?"

"What illogical stuff are you spouting? Good man, it seems you're getting desperate!"

Furthermore, March 7th had no money on her. What was your initial level of affection for her?

Qi Ye opened her mouth, then closed it.

He declined to answer the question.

Xing looked at his expression and a very obvious smile appeared on her lips.

In Xing's system of expression, this is already a victory declaration of "I have won".

"Look, you're even embarrassed to say it yourself."

Xing patted him on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.

"Good man, I already knew you fell in love with me at first sight when my favorability rating was 98."

Now there's just one more piece of supporting evidence.

She hoisted the bat back onto her shoulder, turned and walked away, but after a couple of steps she turned back and added another sentence.

"Don't worry, I won't discriminate against you just because you're attracted to my body. After all, I'm a good person."

Qiye stood still.

I feel like all my debating skills in this life have been crushed by an amnesiac girl using some so-called galgame logic.
