Chapter 509: A Besiege Task

Ning Shu counted on her fingers how long it’d probably take to open the system marketplace. She probably needed just one more task.

She suddenly felt a surge of fighting spirit. Once the marketplace was open, she’d be able to exchange for secret manuals that strengthened the soul and wouldn’t have to go at snail’s pace anymore. Right now, just staying in a task world for a little longer than usual would wear her soul out a lot.

“Ning Shu, there’s a besiege task. Do you want to do it?” asked 2333.

Ning Shu asked, “What’s a besiege task?”

“It means the person that’s the target of the besiege had to fall in love with you,” explained 2333.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ning Shu: …

“Hahaha, fall in love with me?” Ning Shu pointed at her own nose. “With my three points of charm I’m supposed to make someone fall in love with me?”

“You shouldn’t undervalue yourself. Actually, your looks still count as… delicate and pretty,” said 2333. “Anyways, you’ll be using the body of the person requesting for the counterattack. It’s not like you’ll be besieging them with your soul.”

Ning Shu waved her hand dismissively. “No thanks.”

“Why?” 2333 was confused. “This kind of task is really popular. It hadn’t been easy for me to snatch it and it’s really simple too.”

“A task like this was simple? How could a task like this be simple?” Ning Shu looked very uninterested. “It requires one person to fall in love with another.”

2333 said, “That’s right! It’s fine as long as the target falls in love with you! No matter what, it should be more relaxing and simple than those tasks that require you to fight and kill, right?”

“Fall in love with me or the original host?” Ning Shu frowned.

2333 immediately said, “Of course it’s the original host. Otherwise why would they have paid the price to have someone counterattack? Ning Shu, is there a pit in your head? Why did you need me to explain something this simple?”

“Ha. Ha. You’re the one with a pit in your head. I’m not the same person as the original host. After I leave, the original host is still going to return to her own body. Are feelings things that you can win with a besiege?” Ning Shu waved dismissively again. “I’m not going to do these kinds of tasks. How could feelings that someone else had to win for you last?”

The reason she was able to leave the task worlds without any trace of reluctance was because she didn’t get very attached to any of the people in the worlds. Love was mutual. It wasn’t possible to obtain someone else’s feelings by just doing a couple things. You also had to give your sincerity.

Feelings were the most mysterious things in the world. Even the true love between the male and female leads could be broken up, so the love that came from this kind of besiege was definitely even more flimsy.

Since the original host was willing to give up some of her soul in order to get the target to fall in love with her, it was clear that the target didn’t love her in the first place.

Could it be that she would be able to get the target to fall in love with her just by heading over? Ning Shu felt that she didn’t have this ability or this charm. If a person didn’t love, they didn’t love.

The debt of emotion was the hardest to pay as well. Moreover, if she approached the target with this kind of motive, this romance wouldn’t be pure from the start.
