BXBX NOVEL Chapter 169: 169. Su Yu’s Plan_1
“The [Plot Customization] feature?” Su Yu’s eyes lit up.
He’d learned about this function on a forum in his previous life.
Once an NPC’s favorability reached the [Enthusiasm stage], undertaking tasks related to that NPC had a certain probability of unlocking this function.
Opening the [Plot Customization] function would drastically change the way tasks were handled.
The previous way tasks were handled was – the system issued a task, Su Yu received the task, did the task, and turned it in.
But after this function was activated, the system would give Su Yu a general framework. Su Yu would then develop and do the task according to the framework. The system would then randomly reward him based on the difficulty of the task completed by Su Yu.
However, the task had to meet the “general framework,” which meant the objectives of the plotline had to be achieved.
Take the current main storyline for example.
After activating this function, the system gave Su Yu three objectives.
[The Saintess of Orleans City (17-25)]
Plotline Objectives:
Objective 1, Ease Tina’s unease and restore her confidence.
Objective 2, Get Tina to win the approval of 80% of the Unicorn Knight Corps. (Current approval rate is 1.6%)
Objective 3, Have Tina win the approval of over 60% of Orleans City’s residents. (Current approval rate is 0.8%)
These three objectives are the large framework of the task.
Su Yu could assign and complete tasks himself, but he had to fulfill these three objectives.
Upon opening the [Plot Customization] module, a prominent title came into view:
[The Saintess of Orleans City (17-25)]
Beneath the main title was the plotline objectives:
Objective 1, Ease Tina’s unease
Below the objective, there were blank spaces for writing down the content of the tasks.
[17 (Solo Task)]:
[18 (Solo Task)]:
[24 (Solo Task)]:
[25 (Scenario Battle)]:
Except for the 25th part which was a Scenario Battle, the rest were all solo tasks.
Looking at this interface, Su Yu fell deep into thought.
“I guess I’ll need to do some research!”
He could design nine tasks on his own.
These nine tasks needed to not only fulfill the three objectives but also ensure maximum benefits for him. He definitely couldn’t proceed without careful planning.
Su Yu was lost in deep thought and couldn’t pull himself away.
Seeing that Su Yu had not responded for a while, Tina asked softly, “Nemesis, are you listening to me?”
But Su Yu remained motionless as if he hadn’t heard.
Tina walked up to Su Yu, pulled down her strap, revealing her smooth shoulders to Su Yu’s gaze.
But Su Yu still didn’t react, his dull eyes staring at Tina’s shoulder as if he was looking at a piece of wood.
Unable to bear it anymore, Tina pulled her strap up and waved her hand in front of Su Yu’s eyes: “Hey, wake up! Wake up!”
“Oh? What’s wrong?”
Noticing the object moving swiftly before his eyes, Su Yu finally snapped out of his deep thought.
“You weren’t responding to me earlier. Were you listening?” Tina frowned, her hands on her hips.
She had called Su Yu over in the middle of the night for some heart-to-heart talk, yet he was zoning out!
“Of course, I was listening. You were talking about insomnia because of your uneasiness, right?”
“Yes, do you have any solutions?” Tina seemed slightly relieved.
“For insomnia ” Su Yu touched his chin.
If Tina had been a man, there might be other traditional ways to cure insomnia. For females
“You could try sleeping naked.” Su Yu suggested.
“Sleeping naked?” Tina looked puzzled. Would that work?
Su Yu turned his glance: “If you don’t want to try you could let me stay the night! I’ve got plenty of ways to help you fall asleep.”
“Stay the night ”
Coming to some realization, Tina’s face flushed red all of a sudden, like a thoroughly ripe shrimp.
“Alright, you’d better rest early tonight. I’ll come see you first thing tomorrow morning. Then I’ll help you solve your insomnia completely!”
Su Yu waved his hand, turning around to exit Tina’s room: “Good night, see you tomorrow morning!”
“Hey—” Tina reached out to stop Su Yu.
She was still struggling with the issue of “staying the night,” and yet he’d just left?
But since Su Yu had already left, Tina didn’t have the heart to call him back.
“Forget it, I’ll see him tomorrow morning then.”
Glancing in the direction Su Yu had disappeared into, Tina got back into bed, resuming her struggle with insomnia.
“But ‘sleeping naked’, perhaps I should give it a try.” Tina thought to herself, pulling off her clothing.
The next day, first thing in the morning, Su Yu stormed into Tina’s bedroom.
“Tina! I’ve thought of the best way to help you cure your insomnia!”
Su Yu was waving a notebook in front of Tina.
It was a task process that he spent the whole night planning out.
Through this task process, not only would Su Yu be able to reap a good sum of rewards, but Tina would also benefit greatly.
“Nemesis.” Tina woke up hazily, noticing that Su Yu was in the room, she quickly wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.
She was still in the “sleeping naked” state; it wasn’t exactly decent for her to see anyone.
And the quilt she was under was thin, so one could vaguely make out her figure through it.
Which instantly caused Tina’s face to turn red out of embarrassment.
But Su Yu didn’t seem to mind at all as his attention was completely focused on the notebook.
“Listen here,” Su Yu sat at the head of Tina’s bed, excitedly placing the notebook in front of Tina:
“After a whole night’s research, solving your insomnia is actually very simple. You just need to gain the approval of others.”
“Gain the approval of others?” Tina was puzzled.
“That’s right.” Su Yu smiled and said: “The greatest source of your unease comes from worrying that because of your lack of experience, youth, and insufficient strength, you are not up for the task of leading the corps. In particular, during this war-ridden time, a slightest mistake could verge on the loss of the entire knight corps on the battlefield. Am I right?”
“You’re right.” Tina was just thinking about getting Su Yu to leave quickly so she could dress up. So, she was just playing along with whatever Su Yu was saying.
“Then it’s settled!” Su Yu nodded: “I’ve come up with a series of plans to help you regain your confidence. If you follow my plans, not only can your unease be completely eradicated, but you can also truly become stronger and suitable for the role of corps commander.”
After some thought, Tina finally nodded: “Okay, I’ll do as you say. But Can you leave for now?”
Su Yu: ” ”
Shortly after, Tina got up from bed.
But for some reason, her face remained flushed.
Su Yu didn’t bother and was ready to implement his plan.
The first part of the plan was of course to increase Tina’s strength.
Tina was currently at the fourth rank. Although she was incredibly powerful among the students, this power level was far from enough for a corps commander.
The previous structure of the Unicorn Corps was – Corps Commander Grace was a sixth-ranked Sanctuary expert, high-ranking officers of the corps were generally at the fifth rank, and the instructors were either third or fourth rank.
So Su Yu decided that Tina should first be promoted to the fifth rank. This would ensure that she had the requisite strength to gain recognition from all members of the knight corps.
