She had a disgruntled look on her face as she read it one more time.
"You must be kidding me, you gave me five hundred points, but it is said here that I need one thousand points just to unlock the skills bar, tell me, system, you must be intentionally making things difficult for me, isn't it?" Yue Ning fiercely questioned the system.
'In my defense, this was how I was developed, and there is no changing it,' the system spoke in a clipped tone.
"You!" Yue Ning exclaimed, but she calmed down before sighing.
"I assume you have another task for me, mind telling me what you have for me?" Yue Ning asked.
With the short time she had been bound to the system, she knew how problematic the system could be.
'There are no missions presently, just focus on building your relationship with the second male lead,' the system was explained to her, and she let out an 'oh!'
She turned her head towards Huo Feng, and she breathed out seeing that he had his eyes closed. She nodded slightly, before turning to look out the window.
Huo Feng opened his eyes after she had turned her head away from him.
He looked at her with an intrigued look. Even though he had his eyes closed, he had observed all her reactions, and he found her to be very fascinating.
The elusive daughter of the Yue's, could there be secrets she was hiding? And if there were, he was planning to find out what it was.
They finally got to Huo Feng's house, and damn, how much Yue Ning drooled.
"If you are done gawking, you would come in," Huo Feng commented.
She immediately put away her look as she ran after him with her luggage in her hand.
"This will be your room," Huo Feng informed her after they had gotten to a particular room on the second floor of the condominium.
"Is this also your room?" She found herself asking, and he snapped his head towards her with a smirk tugging at his lips.
"Forget I asked that, you know, we are a new couple, I was just wondering if we would sleep in the same room," the more she tried to cover up, the more she fumbled with her words.
Huo Feng smiled at her antics, he found it cute and adorable.
𝐷𝑖𝑛𝑔!
[Hidden Mission Completed: Make the second female lead smile!]
[Reward: 600 points, and extra skill unlocked!]
[Host may find out what the skills are by checking the notification bar!]
Yue Ning heard three notifications in her mind, and she opened her mouth mindlessly.
"System, there is a hidden mission?" Yue Ning found herself questioning the system while still staring at Huo Feng who still hadn't realized that he was smiling, 𝑖𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑟𝑢𝑙𝑒𝑠.
'Yes host, we do not inform the host of the hidden missions until they have completed it, generally, hidden missions are simple, and can be completed naturally, hence the reason for it being hidden,' the system explained to her, and she nodded.
"That is nice, hidden missions seem less complex, and I can complete it without even knowing," Yue Ning smiled from ear-to-ear.
"Carry on President Huo, I assume you must be in a hurry, I will not take too much of your time, and I will settle into this room comfortably, thank you," she smiled, and waved at him, before entering into the room leaving him completely speechless.
"Boss, we have to leave, you still have an important business deal to sign," his assistant approached him, while informing him respectfully.
Huo Feng took a long look at the door, before he walked away.
Meanwhile, Yue Ning was celebrating in the room. Not because she was able to complete a hidden mission, but the fact that she was capable of making him smile.
'Host, you have unlocked a new skill, this is the feature given by the system after you must have completed a hidden mission, would you like to find out what it is?' The system questioned.
"Not yet, rather, I would love to unlock the skills bar, what if I have to spend points just to see the skill given to me? Would that not be a waste of points since I will not be able to use it?" Yue Ning casually pointed out, but she did not expect it to be the truth as the system remained quiet.
"It is true, isn't it? My assumptions are correct, aren't they?" She queried after sensing the system's silence.
'Yes,' the system replied with a subservient tone. the observant host had already seen through its plans.
Yue Ning chuckled mirthlessly at the system's response. She would not have imagined that the system could stoop to that level just to swindle her out of her points.
"I would like to unlock the skills bar please," she chose.
The system was unwilling as it tried to persuade her, 'think about this very well host, this skill could be useful for you in the future, which might be tomorrow.'
Yue Ning scoffed slightly, "I have made my decision, you cannot change my mind," she gave her response to the system who was frustrated.
Yue Ning could easily be one of the toughest hosts it had ever been bound to. But regardless, he could not go against her wishes as she responded.
'Do you wish to spend 1000 points to unlock the skills bar?' The system questioned her as Yue Ning watched the blurry panel.
"Yes!" Yue Ning replied without any hesitation.
Soon, the blurry panel gained color, and a smile blossomed on Yue Ning's lips.
"I have a hundred points left," Yue Ning muttered disappointed.
"Anyways, that is to be talked about later on, let me see what skills the system has to offer," she muttered to herself as she scrolled through the panel.

"President, Miss Yue Ning appears to be different," Ah Si, Huo Feng's assistant commented as they drove to the company.
"You noticed it also, we can only keep an eye on her, I find her to be interesting, she is entirely different from what Yue Chen said she was," Huo Feng commented.
Ah Si rolled his eyes at the mention of Yue Chen's name. He wondered why the President was so blind, he could not even see that Yue Chen was nothing but a white lotus.
