Chapter 134: The Tsundere Boss Was Displeased (2)
Siyi smiled bitterly at her and turned back around.
Toward the end of the day, the boss suddenly said he wanted to go and check out the remodeling process in the nearby commercial area.
When they were done, he told the chauffeur to detour to pick up the “stupid woman” – Miss Gu, to go home with him.
He didn’t want her to cry annoyingly later on.
All was well and the boss was in a good mood still.
But the moment he saw Miss Gu, the air inside the cabin of the car just thinned out immediately.
Siyi shrugged and spread out his hands.
He didn’t know anything nor did he dare to speculate anything.
Gu Shishi sighed pitifully.
Once they were back at the mansion, she still dared not make any noise.
She followed docilely behind the boss and only dared to take a step forward when he took a step.
It was obvious that Huo Sishen’s mood was getting progressively worse.
When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he turned around and saw her head dropped lower than a chick eating rice and she was standing about 2 meters away from him.
Another beeping sound!
The fondness level decreased again. All the way to LV1!
[Failing to return to LV2 within half an hour will reduce the maximum life limit back to 5 days!]
[Any extra life saved up will be lost!]
She was stunned. Gu Shishi had broken down, and she almost cried out loud.
Half an hour?! That wasn’t enough time for her to do any damage control!
She hadn’t even figured out the reason that caused the boss’s fondness for her to decrease. She would die at this rate!
Gu Shishi’s knees weakened, and she almost dropped to her knees.
If the fondness level continued to drop, it’d go back down to LV0…
All the life that she had saved up would be gone!
Boss… whatever had she done wrong?
Yet, it was already too late.
When she was receiving one impact after another from the system, the door to the study slammed shut in front of her!
The boss was nowhere to be seen when she looked up again.
Even if she wanted to earn more fondness, there was no stage for her to perform on…
“Oh, my gosh. I am going to die! I am going to die for real this time!”
“Master… I am going to come and meet with you soon…”
Gu Shishi just wanted to cry.
She had just taken a couple steps before she thought of something very important.
“It’s going to get rid of all my extra life? They will all be wasted? No way. I’d rather convert them all to skills instead of having them go to waste!”
She gritted her teeth.
The max life for LV2 was 7 days. If she returned to LV1, she’d only have a maximum of 5 days.
The two extra days would be lost.
What’s there to think about? She was going to spend all of them!
“Convert to beginner’s painting skill. For 4 hours!” said Gu Shishi with no hesitation.
[Maximum daily exchange: 10.] Came the cold system reminder.
“Oh!”
Gu Shishi plopped onto her giant bed and screeched like a marmot.
What a scam!
She quickly navigated to the [Merchandize] screen. Sure enough, there was a fine print there that she hadn’t noticed before.
Back then, she treasured her life a lot and her health bar being always low, so she had never converted over 3 times in a day.
Gu Shishi sighed again and resigned to looking at the only other merchandise.
[Diluted Version of Summer Day Balancing Lotion (10% effectiveness of the pills): 24 hours of life for 10 mL.]
So expensive… just looking at it made her feel like she was bleeding.
Plus, she had already had the actual pill and had no interest in the diluted version, but now she had no choice but to exchange for it.
“Give me 10 mL of it!”
[Delivered. Please confirm receipt.]
Her health bar dropped a big chunk immediately.
Gu Shishi clutched her heart painfully and pulled the balancing lotion out of the dimension.
10 mL of the balancing lotion sat inside a small, transparent bottle.
It looked just about the size of a bottle of nail polish.
This system was so frugal!
Gu Shishi admired it for a little bit and precisely tucked it away inside her drawer.
That a whole day of life right there!
She sat there, dazed, lamenting over her loss.
