“Zi Cheng, you don’t have to go with her.” Hans spoke up as soon as he heard Zi Cheng’s words.

“Yeah you’re you and she’s her.

We won’t think of you any differently because of your relationship with her.” Gino added in anxiously.

magicBoth felt that Zi Cheng was a gentle and considerate girl and they were rather fond of her.

She had a soothing personality that made those around her feel relaxed.

“I’m sorry, but I won’t feel at ease if I let Yifu go on her own.

She and I can take care of each other if we leave together.” Although Zi Cheng spoke softly it was clear from her voice that she was firm in her refusal to leave the group.

“Xiao Cheng…” Tears glistened in Yifu’s eyes as she looked at Zi Cheng.

She had endured so much hostility and alienation from the group, but Zi Cheng was still her friend.

Although it filled her with happiness that Zi Cheng would be willing to leave the group with her, she felt a tiny bit of guilt as well.

To think she had just cursed Zi Cheng out in her heart for not being a loyal friend.

“Zi Cheng, you sure you want to go with her? She’s a very troublesome person.

You’ll have to make sure to take extra care to be safe.” Xi didn’t speak very well of Yifu, but it was obvious from her words that she was concerned about Zi Cheng.

Just about everyone in the group felt that Zi Cheng was a wonderful and kind-hearted girl.

How was it possible to not like her? Therefore just about everyone in the group was concerned about her well-being.

“Yeah Zi Cheng.

Don’t leave.

Everyone here likes you.

Feng Wu, you say something too.” Ai Lin glanced at Zi Cheng with a worried expression on her face.

She seemed to be genuinely concerned.

In fact Ai Lin was just trying to use Feng Wu to egg Yifu on.

She knew Yifu hated Feng Wu the most out of anyone in the group.

She was sure Yifu wouldn’t be able to keep her mouth shut if Feng Wu started talking.

Ai Lin was looking forward to Yifu making a ruckus and possibly involving Zi Cheng in more drama.

The more drama there was the more likely everyone would start to dislike Zi Cheng as well - guilty by association.

Ai Lin was determined to rob Zi Cheng of all her good cards.

There was no way the two of them could ever become friends, so might as well.

She had to make as much trouble for the female protagonist as she could.

A few of the people there looked at Ai Lin weirdly when they heard her, wondering if she was up to something.

The ever quiet Feng Wu was obviously a poor choice to pick.

To pick Feng Wu..

.did Ai Lin really want Zi Cheng to stay or did she actually want her to leave? Although the others didn’t say anything they all felt that Zi Cheng was a really good and kind-hearted girl.

She had only been friends with Yifu for two days but was already taking such good care of her.

There were only two people who didn’t feel this way.

One was naturally Ai Lin.

There was no way the two would ever get along since Zi Cheng was fated to be Ai Lin’s downfall.

Zi Cheng hadn’t walked very far with Yifu when several “bings” echoed in her ear.

*bing* Yifu’s favorability rating: plus 30 points *bing* Gino’s favorability rating: plus 20 points *bing* Xi’s favorability rating: plus 10 points *bing* Han’s favorability rating: plus 20 points *bing* Melis’ favorability rating: plus 10 points *bing* Oman’s favorability rating: plus 10 points

*bing* Pei’s favorability rating: plus 10 points *bing* Kyle’s favorability rating: plus 10 points Each successive “bing” indicated her favorability rating with people in the world, it was essentially her cheat.

The system allowed her to exchange her favorability points for items and other goods such as sacred level staves and spells.

She could even purchase skill upgrades if she earned enough points.

Of course those amazing items were beyond her reach right now, but if she kept boosting her popularity she had no doubt she would eventually be able to do an exchange.

As it was Zi Cheng was really pleased with the points she earned today.

Her innate talent was so high because she drank a magic potion.

Just one dose of it was enough to raise her innate talent to the twelfth level.

Zi Cheng was really glad that her former host was a small unimportant person who never had her skills tested.

Otherwise such a large jump in skill would have made people suspicious of her and surely courted disaster.
