Chapter 177: Since We Don’t Have Charm…
Su Xiaobao was sitting at the door of a dirty rented apartment. Her face was a little dirty and the adorable innocence it once contained could no longer be made out. The sounds of grunts, moaning and panting could be heard through the door.
Not long later, a fat man came out. As he walked past, he looked at Su Xiaobao with lust in his eyes. Su Xiaobao walked into the room that still had a lingering strange scent. Su Meng was lying on the bed, her face still flushed. When she saw Su Xiaobao come in, she gave the money to Su Xiaobao and said that it was the money for today’s meals.
Su Xiaobao took the money expressionlessly.
Ning Shu was a bit stunned when she found out that Su Meng actually ended up selling her body to survive like Su Ran had in the original storyline. However, when she thought about it, it made sense. Su Meng and Su Ran were both pampered daughters from wealthy families. They didn’t really have the abilities to live independently. Su Meng was fortunate enough to be the female lead so there were plenty of powerful men to shelter her from the struggles of life.
Su Meng’s character setup was innocent and delicate. She was a character untainted by the vicissitudes of the world. However, now, for the sake of surviving, she had no choice to make some sacrifices.
Ning Shu hadn’t even made a move yet, and she had already ended up in this situation. She really was pretty good at getting herself into situations.
Madame Su brought Su Lan over to apologize to Ning Shu. When Ning Shu saw that Su Lan still held his chin obstinately high, she decided to just ignore him. Su Lan no longer looked like an elegant wealthy prince. There was now a dark gloomy aura around him. It seemed that the change in his family situation has had an impact on his life. Ning Shu just gave a sarcastic laugh in response, then secretly slipped Madame Su a large sum of money. Currently, the Su family couldn’t even reach the level of a well-off family.
Madame Su looked at Ning Shu in surprise. Ning Shu straightforwardly told Madame Su that she shouldn’t let Su Bo and Su Lan know about this money. It must be kept in mind that in the original storyline, Su Bo had ran off with Su Lan, leaving Madame Su and Su Ran to fend for themselves.
She slipped Madame Su this money because she was certain that Su Bo was still keeping some money hidden for himself.
Ning Shu had a feeling that this world’s tasks were complete.
Let’s hurry up and leave. Let’s leave, let’s leave…
“Ding, the tasks are completed. Leave the task world? Yes/No.” After an ear-piercing electric current sound, Ning Shu heard the mechanical voice of the system. Ning Shu had never felt that the system’s voice was as moving and pleasant to hear as now.
“Let’s leave, hurry,” replied Ning Shu hastily.
Following that, she felt the world spin and almost vomited. By the time she opened her eyes again, she had already returned to the system space.
Ning Shu released a long sigh, then exhaled again, as if she was trying to get all the unclean air out of her. She had never felt this tired before. She felt psychologically exhausted.
“Check points? Yes/No.” The system’s cold voice arose again.
“Yes.”
A stats panel appeared in front of Ning Shu with her information on it.

When Ning Shu saw that she only got 1500 points this time, she became annoyed. She thought that she’d be able to graduate from the title of little cannon fodder intern this time and become an official player. Then she could throw away 2333, this identification. However, the points gained from this world were really pitifully little.
Once she calmed down and reflected, she figured out why there were so little points this time. It was because the original host, Su Ran’s request was to protect the Su family, but she had chosen to just watch without interfering when the Su family got cheated. So in a way, she didn’t really complete that task.
Forget it, if there were less points, then there were less.
“There are five attribute points, please assign them,” said the system.
Ning Shu pondered a little, but still decided to add the points to luck first since moral quality was very important. Then she added one to her soul level. The stronger her soul was, the better.
After distributing the points, the stats panel reflected those changes.

“Host, why didn’t you add some points to your charm level? Your charm level is too low, there’s only one point,” said the system.
Ning Shu looked at her charm level. There was only a lonely ‘1.’ She suddenly felt like the system was messing with her. Why did it only say that after she finished using all the points?
“What benefit is there to having a high charm level?” asked Ning Shu.
“Charm will make other people have a favorable impression of you,” replied the system concisely.
Fine. It sounded like a total cheat. Why didn’t it say so earlier?
Forget it, since we don’t have charm, we’ll just use brute force. It’d resolve problems just the same.
