"Would you like to try..."
When thinking about making money, Xia Xu subconsciously thought of Xue Mingjie, the noodle shop owner just now.
Although the three-star talent is not as good as Tang Youxin's five-star talent, it is definitely not something that is commonplace.
He had been very busy just now, checking the attributes of many people. Basically, they only had one star or even none. The only one who had three-star talent was the noodle shop owner.
And the most important thing is that this talent is called 'Gambling'.
Although Tang Youxin's five-star programming talent is more advanced, according to Xia's education system, the basic subjects for junior and senior high school students are only Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, music, and physical education. They want to take up all the prescribed subjects, not to mention learning extracurricular knowledge.
Talent is just talent. No matter how high the talent is, it is useless if you don’t learn or even have no exposure to it. If Tang Youxin wants to get in touch with programming, she must at least go to college.
Moreover, the trajectory of human destiny is uncertain. It is not certain whether one will study programming. For example, Su Yu has a two-star literary talent, but his fate shows that he is still a mediocre doctor.
Given Tang Youxin's condition, this five-star "computer genius" might still be a computer idiot who can't even figure out how to turn on the computer.
But the talent for "gambling" is different. According to the living habits of the Xia people, playing mahjong and poker for entertainment is completely normal. It is impossible not to develop their talents.
Therefore, Xia Xu was almost certain that Xue Mingjie was definitely a good card player.
And since he is a supporting character in "The Dying Man", he must have certain characteristics or play some role. If we take into account this gambling talent, it is not difficult to guess that there must be gambling-related plots in the story.
This is a point that is very easy to utilize. The "script" must have its inevitable inertia. In the gambling plot, if Xue Mingjie is hostile to the protagonist, he will basically lose everything. If he cooperates with the protagonist, he will most likely win all the way or turn the tide in adversity.
Although he didn't know what the specific plot would be like, since he could see the fate of the supporting characters through the attribute board, he could definitely see the fate of the protagonist. As long as he found the protagonist of the plot, he could always drink some soup while the protagonist ate meat.
"I guess it's okay for me to check out the situation first..."
After thinking it over in his mind, Xia Xu couldn't help but feel a little tempted.
It's always okay to spot the main character of the plot by observing from a distance first.
Whether it is novels, cartoons, movies, or TV series, the plots are actually traceable and even have specific templates. For example, police and gangster films, disaster films, and superhero films, each has its own main theme, either justice must prevail or the world must be saved.
There are also details, such as no injuries if there is smoke, no death if falling off a cliff, and all those who go back to marry a wife after a battle will be given a box lunch...
As the plot gradually unfolds, we can always infer the general direction of the plot through various clues, and it will not be too late to make a decision then.
"If we want to find the protagonist and other supporting characters, Xue Mingjie is a good place to start. If he wants to participate in the plot, he will definitely have intersections with other people. We can use the break time and after school time to keep an eye on him..."
Xia Xu thought as he walked towards his classroom.
The school requires students to take a nap on their seats during lunch break, so there is basically no one on campus at this moment and everything is quiet.
Suddenly, faint footsteps were heard behind me, and Tang Youxin was already catching up with me in small steps.
"I... I know you just wanted to treat me to a meal, thank you."
Tang Youxin was about to run over there, but she seemed to finally muster up the courage, stopped, said thank you shyly, and then ran into the classroom like a flash.
Xia Xu subconsciously used a "detection technique" on the back.
Favorability: 60
"I feel like I'm playing a strategy game. What's going on? And is it so easy to increase favorability?"
Xia Xu looked a little strange.
The favorability level was only ten points before, but it suddenly soared by fifty points. If it were based on a 100-point system, it would have reached the passing line.
It seems that except for treating him to a bowl of noodles, I was basically being mean to him, right? Even eating noodles was actually forced.
How can this actually increase favorability, and by so much? Doesn't this little white flower have any special hobbies
"Hey, hey, hey, what were you and Tang Youxin doing? I heard that you forced her to have lunch with you at noon?"
After returning to the classroom and sitting back in his seat, Ma Bing, who was sitting at the same table, immediately asked about the gossip without any sleepiness. After finishing speaking, he gave a thumbs up and said, "I didn't expect that you, Brother Xu, are so brave. You are simply a role model for our generation!"
Xia Xu just rolled his eyes as if he was too lazy to pay attention.
But this did not affect Ma Bing's desire for gossip at all: "But speaking of which, Brother Xu, why did you think of looking for Tang Youxin, that sullen oil bottle? I see our squad leader is always watching those domineering CEO soap operas. If I were as brave as you, I would have taken him down directly."
The monitor of their class is also a good-looking girl. Most importantly, she has a cheerful personality and knows how to dress up. Although she is not the class belle or school belle like in novels and movies, she is the dream lover of many boys in the class.
Unfortunately, most people at this age are still just flirting and having secret crushes in private, and only a few true warriors dare to take action. This is why Ma Bing is so excited and gossipy, because he is excited about breaking taboos and also about putting himself in the shoes of others.
"The core of a domineering CEO is the CEO, not the domineering. If you have no money and still act like a domineering girl, the girl will only call you a straight man and a psychopath. Just sleep. You can dream about anything."
Xia Xu corrected the young man's misunderstanding speechlessly.
Of course, there is a huge mistake he didn't point out.
She is just a class beauty, how can she be a match for Tang Youxin, the stunningly beautiful little white flower.
No matter how good you are at putting on makeup, at most you can only be at the level of internet celebrities. If you leave this treasure little white flower alone and go looking for the class beauty, you will be like losing the watermelon for sesame seeds and getting kicked in the head by a donkey.
Ignoring Ma Bing, the excited adolescent boy, Xia Xu lay on the table to recuperate and took a good nap. Then, during the break, he ran to the school gate to monitor Xue Mingjie's noodle shop.
It was not meal time, so the noodle shop, which already had poor business, was naturally even quieter. It didn't take Xia Xu much effort to check the attribute plates of everyone coming in and out one by one.
It was not known whether it was a coincidence or Tang Youxin's fortune of bringing good fortune to her husband came into play, but Xia Xu, who had originally planned to use his spare time to monitor her and had not expected to produce results in a short time, actually got an unexpected gain in just less than ten minutes.
