Chapter 6: Appearance of a Supporting Character

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

‘Should I try…’

Xia Xu subconsciously thought of Xue Mingjie, the boss of the noodle restaurant.

Although a three-star talent was not as good as Tang Youxin’s five-star talent, it was definitely not common.

He had not been idle just now. He checked the attributes of many people, and they were basically all one-star or even ‘none’. The only person with a three-star talent was the boss of the noodle restaurant.

And most importantly, this talent was called ‘gambling’.

Although Tang Youxin’s five-star programming talent was higher, according to Summer’s education system, high school students could only learn subjects like languages, mathematics, and science, the schools were even wishing to take over the allocated class timings for music and sports, much less extracurricular subjects.

Talent was just talent. No matter how talented one was, it was useless if they had never learned or even come into contact with it. If Tang Youxin wanted to learn programming, she had to at least go to university.

Moreover, the trajectory of a person’s destiny was uncertain. It was not certain whether she would learn programming. For example, Su Yu had a two-star literary talent, but his destiny was still a mediocre talent.

With Tang Youxin’s situation, this five-star ‘programming genius’ was probably still a little idiot who couldn’t even understand how to turn on a computer.

But the talent of ‘gambling’ was different. It was normal for people in Summer to play mahjong, poker, and relax. It was impossible to not develop one’s talent.

Therefore, Xia Xu was almost certain that Xue Mingjie was a good player.

Moreover, since he was a supporting character in «Person About to Die», he must have certain characteristics or functions. If he included this gambling talent, it was not difficult to guess that there must be a gambling-related plot in the story.

This was a good point to make use of. The ‘script’ definitely had its own inertia. If Xue Mingjie and the protagonist were enemies in the gambling plot, he would lose everything. If he cooperated with the protagonist, there was a high probability that he would win all the way or make a comeback.

Although he didn’t know the specific storyline, since he could see the supporting character’s destiny through the status, he would definitely be able to see the main character’s destiny as well. As long as he found the main character, he would be able to benefit from that.

“Just checking out the situation should be okay, right…”

Xia Xu couldn’t help but feel tempted.

It was always okay to observe from a distance.

Whether it was a novel, anime, a movie, or a television drama, the plot had a specific template, such as a detective film, a disaster film, or a superhero film. Each of them had their own main theme, whether it was justice, victory, or saving the world.

There were also some details, such as dangerous scenes but no injuries, falling from the cliff and not dying, and those who went back to get married after a battle and still dying in the end…

Once the plot gradually unfolded, he would be able to guess the general direction of the plot through various clues. It would not be too late to decide then.

‘If I want to find the main character and other supporting characters, Xue Mingjie is the breakthrough. If he participates in the plot, he will definitely interact with others. I can use the time between classes and after school to keep an eye on him.’

Xia Xu walked towards his classroom as he pondered.

The school stipulated that one must lie on their seat and take an afternoon nap during lunch break, so there was basically no one in the school corridors.

Soft footsteps suddenly sounded behind him. Tang Youxin had already caught up with him.

“I… I know you just wanted to treat me to a meal, thank you.”

Tang Youxin was about to run over, but she seemed to have finally mustered her courage. She stopped, thanked him shyly, and ran into the classroom.

Xia Xu subconsciously used an ‘appraisal’ on her back.

Favorability: 60

‘Why do I feel like I’m playing a strategy game, and why does favorability increase so easily?’

Xia Xu had a strange look on his face.

The favorability was only 10 points earlier, but now it had risen by 50 points. If it went by a total score of 100 points, he would already have reached the passing line.

It seemed that apart from treating her to a bowl of noodles, he was basically being fierce to her, right? He even had to force her to eat the noodles.

‘How did her favorability increase so much? Does this little white flower have some special fetish?’

“Hey, where did you and Tang Youxin go? I heard that you forced her to accompany you for lunch?”

After returning to his seat in the classroom, Ma Bing, who was sitting next to him, immediately asked about the gossip. He even gave a thumbs up. “I didn’t expect you to be so brave, Brother Xu. You are a role model!”

Xia Xu just rolled his eyes.

But this did not affect Ma Bing’s desire for gossip at all. “But then again, Brother Xu, why did you think of looking for Tang Youxin? Our class monitor spends all day watching those domineering CEO soap operas. If I were as courageous as you, I would have won over the class monitor.”

The class monitor of their class was also a pretty girl. Most importantly, she had a cheerful personality and knew how to dress up. Although she was not the school belle of the class like in the novels and movies, she was still a dream girl in the class.

Unfortunately, most people at this age were still limited to their secret relationships. Only a few true warriors dared to take action, which was why they were so excited and gossipy.

“The core of a domineering CEO is a CEO, not a domineering personality. If you have no money, being domineering to a girl will only make her call you a crazy straight man. Go to sleep, you can have everything in your dreams.”

Xia Xu corrected the immature young man’s mistake.

Of course, there was another huge mistake he didn’t point out.

She was just a class beauty. She was no match for Tang Youxin who was a peerless beauty.

No matter how good she was at makeup, she was only at the level of an internet celebrity. If he let go of this precious little white flower and went for the class flower, he would have lost his watermelon for some sesame seeds. He would be dumb to do that.

Xia Xu ignored Ma Bing, the excited teenager. He leaned on the table and rested. After his lunch break, he took advantage of the break between lessons and ran to the school gate to monitor Xue Mingjie’s noodle shop.

Since it was not dinner time yet, the noodle restaurant, which already had poor business, was even more deserted. Xia Xu checked the status of the people entering and exiting one by one.

Xia Xu didn’t know if it was because of a chance encounter or was it the effect of Tang Youxin’s fortune to husband, but he really gained something in less than ten minutes.
