Chapter 8 My Milkshakes Are Only for You
After exchanging contact information, Zhou Bili turned and left.
He Xi then greeted Zhong Liti.
"Miss Chung, are you waiting for someone?"
"Do you need my help?"
He Xi greeted him with a smile and, as was her habit, offered to help.
These days, he has already tested the system's behavior.
Simply put, the task and reward can only be created if the female celebrity speaks up.
Previously, He Xi's initiative to help Zhong Liti by holding an umbrella constituted actual assistance, but the system did not recognize it.
However, if He Xi asked a question beforehand, guiding Zhong Liti to say something like, "Okay, can you hold the umbrella for me?"
The system will then successfully trigger the task and reward.
This dull and rigid triggering mechanism made He Xi involuntarily think of those "artificial idiots" in the original timeline who could only be awakened with special language information.
Fortunately, my system has never encountered any instances of idiotic responses that are irrelevant to the question in terms of task judgment and reward distribution.
Otherwise, they'd just be Muggles.
"Okay, I bought an extra drink, can you drink it for me?"
Chung Li-ti had gotten used to He Xi's way of speaking these past few days, and smiled as she handed her a drink.
[Ding! Mission triggered: Help actress Christy Chung drink her beverage. Accept?]
Sure enough, as soon as Chung Li-ti finished speaking, the system immediately assigned her the task.
Once you figure out the patterns, this small system is easy to master.
He Xi took the soda, raised an eyebrow, and smiled.
"Wow, it's my favorite strawberry milkshake!"
"I just saw Stephen Chow and the director go over there. Were they involved too?"
Chung Li-ti rolled her eyes and pouted.
"My milkshakes aren't for everyone!"
"I'm only giving this to you!"
He Xi paused for a moment, seemingly out of nowhere.
I was a little distracted just now and didn't hear clearly.
"Why do you only let me inhale your [something]?"
"My milkshake! Oh dear, drink it quickly, it won't be cold anymore!"
Chung Li-ti didn't understand and just kept urging He Xi on.
He Xi smiled mischievously, took a big gulp, burped, and gave Zhong Liti a thumbs up.
"Nice!"
Christy Chung burst into laughter so hard her eyes disappeared.
[Ding! The mission "Help Zhong Liti drink the beverage" has been completed. Completion level: "Perfect," and the recipient's evaluation: "Very Satisfied." Basic reward: 5 minutes of "High-Energy Time"!]
With bonuses for completion and satisfaction, 25 minutes of high-energy time is instantly available.
If a few more female celebrities appeared around, Y felt she could easily fill her high-energy time reserves to overflowing.
It will be on 24 hours a day, even when I'm sleeping!
I wonder what it would be like to be in high-energy mode while sleeping.
Will I learn the "Sleeping Arhat Fist" in my dreams?
Do you have time tonight?
Chung Li-ti asked while drinking her milkshake.
"I haven't been in Hong Kong Island for long and I'm not familiar with this place. Could you show me around?"
He Xi thought to herself, "What a coincidence, I also just arrived in Hong Kong not long ago, and I'm even less familiar with it than you are."
However, upon hearing the new mission notification in his mind, He Xi immediately patted his chest and agreed.
Yes, this is a photo of myself, not of Christy Chung.
"Absolutely! As a Hong Kong Island resident, since you've come to my territory, of course I have to show you the proper hospitality!"
"Besides, I've already drunk your milkshake! This is nothing."
After saying that, the two left the film crew together, took a taxi through the Eastern Harbour Crossing, and headed straight for Causeway Bay.
He Xi also wanted to know what this world-class business district, known as the "most expensive rent" in this era, was like, the place that Little B and Handsome Kun fought tooth and nail for, and the place that made Chan Ho-nam famous throughout Hong Kong.
Despite its great reputation, it's actually... not bad!
Skyscrapers stand side by side, neon lights illuminate the night sky, the streets are bustling with people, and music plays incessantly on both sides of the road.
Considering the development and economic level of that era, this place could indeed be considered prosperous.
However, in He Xi's eyes, who had witnessed the storms of modern cities in later generations, it was nothing special.
After wandering around for a while, he lost interest.
Christy Chung, on the other hand, seemed to have a great time shopping.
He held onto He Xi's arm the whole way, like a college student who had just fallen in love, finding everything new and exciting.
She wore a hat and a mask, so she wasn't worried about being recognized.
For dinner, the two of them ate Cantonese food.
Braised pigeon, steamed grouper, braised sea cucumber in abalone sauce, braised lamb belly with bamboo shoots, imitation crab, braised pork belly in Shaoxing wine...
A table full of dishes, He Xi ate with gusto, her mouth greasy and her taste lingering.
He's been practicing martial arts lately, which has been quite taxing, and his appetite is huge; his stomach is like a bottomless pit.
Zhong Liti, sitting opposite him, smiled and served him food.
Throughout the meal, she barely ate a few bites.
"No, is the food in Hong Kong not to your liking?"
During a break from his meal, He Xiqian asked, puzzled.
Chung Li-ti shook her head.
"No, the food tastes great, but just looking at you makes me full!"
He Xi: "..."
No way! What do you mean by "I'm full just looking at you"?
My face looks very ugly?
"Oh no, I meant that word, the one about 'being so lewd you can eat it all'!"
Chung Li-ti hurriedly tried to explain, but her Chinese was terrible, and she couldn't explain it clearly even after a long time.
He Xi was completely confused.
He also has memories of studying in Canada, but he's never heard of anyone there making a living off sex.
That's only a tiny bit, not nearly enough to replenish what we've consumed!
Unless you pan-fry it and then sandwich it between bread slices and sausages...
"Um, you mean... that she's a feast for the eyes, right?"
After a long while, He Xi finally understood what Zhong Liti meant.
It's not that he was slow to react; the main problem is that this word is usually used to describe women.
Only someone like Christy Chung, who is "banana" (meaning someone who is Westernized and unattractive), would misuse idioms like that, and even then, she can't explain them clearly.
"The phrase '秀色可餐' comes from a line in a poem by Lu Ji of the Western Jin Dynasty: 'How smooth and moist her skin is! Her beauty is so captivating that one can almost eat it.' It means that a woman's appearance is so beautiful or a scene is so beautiful that one can almost eat it."
"Remember, this word is specifically used to describe women, not men!"
"Also, you may not have heard of Lu Ji, but you must know his grandfather."
"That's the fourth Grand Commander of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, who famously burned down 700 li of enemy camps, directly causing the crushing defeat and death of Liu Bei, the Emperor Zhaolie of Shu Han!"
"Wait a minute! You don't recognize Liu Bei? He's..."
While eating, He Xi began telling Zhong Liti a story.
In the original timeline, he was a fan of the Three Kingdoms period, and he could recite stories and anecdotes about the Three Kingdoms without hesitation.
He could talk for three days and three nights straight without ever pausing.
Across from him, Zhong Liti, who had barely eaten anything, now stared at He Xi with her mouth slightly open, her face full of adoration.
"Ah Xi, you know so much, you're amazing!"
