Rick strolled through the campus, enjoying the afternoon sun and fresh air. His mood was relaxed and happy, in contrast to the tense atmosphere in the classroom just now. Just then, he saw Fatty Peter running breathlessly from across the street, anxiety written all over his face.
Rick's curiosity was aroused, and he quickened his pace to stop Peter." Hey Peter, what's up? Look at you in such a hurry, where are you going?" Rick asked concern in his tone.
Peter stopped in his tracks, his eyes revealing an urgency." Rick, I don't have time to explain right now, my goddess Rose is going to perform in the campus auditorium, I have to hurry!" He replied, a hint of excitement in his voice.
Rick listened with a hint of surprise." Rose? performing?" He repeated Peter's words, trying to make sense of the sudden news.
Peter nodded, "Yes, she's in a dance performance that I can't miss. I've got to go, Rick, don't hold me up!" With that, he was about to continue on his way.
Rick looked at Peter's back, and some memories of Rose came to his mind.
It was then that he suddenly remembered who Rose was. Rose, the girl who was recognized by everyone as the singing goddess of the campus, she not only possessed an angelic voice, but also had a charming stage charisma.
He recalled Rose's various performances on campus, each of which was unforgettable. She had won a full house in a campus singing competition with a stirring song that not only won her an award but also the hearts of many of her classmates. Since then, her name and her talent had spread around campus, becoming a little known talent.
Suddenly, the vision in front of Rick's eyes vibrated, and the system's notification brought him back to reality in an instant.
He opened the system, only to see a new message appear on the system interface:
Newly Designated Character Target: Rose
Task: Increase Rose's favorability towards you
Goal: Reach 1000 points of favorability
Reward: one tenth of the amount spent on Rose
The system's notification clearly displayed: new target character - Rose.
Rick was so shocked that he couldn't believe his eyes. He had just thought of Rose in his mind when the system proposed a quest with her as the target. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "System, you're really messing with whatever I think of."
He felt both surprised and excited, and this sudden quest caught him a bit off guard. Rick knew that Rose was a minor celebrity on campus and that she had numerous suitors and fans. The fact that the system had chosen Rose as the target character had undoubtedly presented him with a new challenge.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. Rick knew that it wouldn't be easy, Rose, as a well-known figure on campus, would naturally attract a lot of attention, and it would take a unique strategy and sincere effort to win her favor.
Rick's eyes fell on Peter running in the distance, and he suddenly realized that he couldn't miss this opportunity to watch Rose perform. He waved his hand hastily and shouted, "Peter, wait for me!"
Peter heard Rick's shout, but continued to run, turning around with a puzzled look on his face. Rick quickly ran towards him, panting, "I'm going to the campus auditorium too, let's go together."
Peter looked at the panting Rick and couldn't help but tease, "Since when are you interested in Rose? You used to only have Sophia on your mind." There was a distinctly joking tone to his words, clearly curious about Rick's sudden change of focus.
Rick knew Peter was only joking, but his expression became a little more serious." Don't mention Sophia again, she doesn't deserve the love I treat her with." Rick replied, a hint of determination revealed in his voice.
Peter and Rick walked together towards the campus auditorium, Peter suddenly stopped and turned to Rick, in a half-joking, half-serious tone, "Rick, listen, Rose is my goddess, don't you dare cross the line."
Rick looked at Peter, his eyes revealing a hint of understanding and a hint of determination at the same time. He knew that Peter had special feelings for Rose, but he also knew exactly what he was up to.
"Peter, I know you're obsessed with Rose," Rick replied, his tone calm, "and I promise, I won't do anything to make you uncomfortable. I just want to go and admire her talent, after all, she is the singing star on campus."
Peter stared at Rick, trying to find any sign of dishonesty in his eyes. After a moment, he seemed to find the answer he was looking for in Rick's eyes and nodded, his expression relaxing a bit.
As they approached the auditorium, they could hear bursts of music and laughter coming from inside, the atmosphere warm and cheerful. Rick and Peter picked up the pace as they made their way through the crowd and found two empty seats to sit down.
