Chapter 36 Favorability Perspective
Chen Xun is not a blockhead!
He certainly noticed Christine's increasingly casual approach to dressing lately.
That old T-shirt with a neckline so wide that you could see below the collarbone.
Two smooth legs dangled in front of him.
The curves that are inadvertently revealed when bending over occasionally...
He's a physiologically normal young man; to say he felt absolutely nothing would be a lie!
When you relax a little.
Looking at Christine, who was completely relaxed on her own turf, even exuding a languid and alluring charm.
Certain thoughts that are part of a male instinct can indeed pop up uncontrollably.
The other party is a top Hollywood actress.
Young and beautiful.
This is a scene that countless men dream of.
But just as that romantic thought was about to take root, a panel suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his view:
Dialogue: Lv1 (12/100)
Limbs: Lv1 (89/100)
Emoticons: Lv1 (33/100)
Eyes: Lv1 (8/100)
Mood: Lv1 (47/100)
Tempo: Lv0 (99/100)
Aura: Lv1 (25/100)
……
Rhythm attribute upgrades immediately!
Chen Xun has already experienced a transformative improvement in his emotions, body language, facial expressions, and aura!
I wonder what kind of changes would occur if all attributes were upgraded to level 1?
Will the panel activate new features?
"Women will only slow down my speed of picking up attribute orbs!"
Chen Xun said fiercely to himself in his heart!
Forcibly shifting his gaze away from Christine's overly revealing attire, he focused on the experience bar that was about to overflow in his mind.
Christine came out after taking a shower, wrapped only in a towel, her hair still wet.
Seeing Chen Xun sitting in the living room reading a script, she seemed to be taken aback for a moment.
But instead of retreating back to her room, she naturally went to the kitchen to pour water.
The hem of the bath towel barely covered the top of her thighs, and her figure was partially revealed as she walked.
Chen Xun felt his blood flow accelerate instantly, and his throat became dry.
He forced himself to stare at the words on the script.
Chen Xun took a deep breath, focused all his attention, and began to analyze the rhythm of a complex passage in the script, trying to find the [rhythm] attribute that he could absorb.
His extreme focus allowed him to temporarily block out the visual impact.
suddenly!
A gray orb of light fell from beside him!
[Rhythm-related attribute - Focus +1]
Just in time!
Chen Xun absorbed it immediately!
The experience bar for [Rhythm] has moved forward another small bar.
(99/100) became (100/100)!
Tempo: Lv1 (0/100)!
Become!
The moment the last attribute, [Rhythm], broke through to Lv1, Chen Xun felt as if some invisible barrier within his body had been broken.
A stream of energy, far purer than any previous single-item upgrade, swept through his entire body, cleansing his limbs and bones, and even touching a deeper level of consciousness.
Cool!
Chen Xun's body trembled involuntarily!
He felt that his five senses had become more acute, and his control over his body had reached a new level.
More importantly, the attribute panel in his mind underwent a dramatic change.
All the Lv0 identifiers disappeared, and were replaced by uniform Lv1 identifiers.
At the very bottom of this newly renovated panel, a line of shimmering gold text slowly appeared:
[Special Skill Unlocked: Favorability Perspective]
Effect: Allows you to visually view other people's current base favorability rating towards you (range: -100 to +100).
Cooldown time: None.
Note: Favorability rating only reflects the target's basic attitude towards you and is influenced by a variety of factors. Please interpret it with caution.
……
Chen Xun was stunned.
Favorability rating?
Why did the art style suddenly jump from a hardcore acting simulator to a bishoujo game?!
He subconsciously raised his head and scanned his surroundings.
The world looks no different.
But when he focused his attention on Christine, who had just come out of her room.
A semi-transparent label appeared above her head:
【Kristen Stewart - Affinity: 35 (Neutral to Friendly)】
35?
Chen Xun pondered to himself.
This number was higher than he had expected.
It seems that the act of playing the boyfriend during this period has improved their relationship.
Christine noticed that Chen Xun's gaze had been burning with passion as he looked at her, and then she shuddered, managing to regain her composure!
Chen Xun is not only gay, but he also has such a short duration!
Christine's gaze towards Chen Xun was a little strange!
She frowned, but out of concern for Chen Xun, she still spoke:
"Are you alright? I know quite a few people here, if you have time..."
"I'm fine!"
Chen Xun casually brushed it off, saying, "I was thinking about the script, my mind wandered!"
Christine didn't want to be too direct, so she just said "oh" and went to the kitchen.
She was thinking of finding an opportunity later to have her assistant take Chen Xun to see it.
After all, the two of them will be living together for a while.
If something really happens to Chen Xun's health, who knows what shocking scandal the media will expose!
Chen Xun was naturally unaware of Christine's inner thoughts.
He is thinking about the practical applications of his new skills.
In Hollywood, a complex arena of fame and fortune with intricate interpersonal relationships, being able to directly gauge how much others like you is an absolute lifesaver!
However, it can only reflect basic attitudes.
Today the producer might have a 60% approval rating for you, but if you mess things up tomorrow, it could drop to -20.
However, it provides an extremely valuable data reference in any case.
He couldn't wait to test it out.
He took out his phone, found Robert's number, and dialed it.
The call connected, and Rob's loud voice came through:
"Hey, Gossip Boy! How's life in Beverly Hills? Did Christine eat you up?"
Chen Xun gave a few perfunctory replies and focused his mind on sensing Robert on the other end of the phone.
[Rob, Assistant Director - Affinity: 68 (Trusted Partner)]
Really!
It seems that we don't need to meet in person; we can sense each other directly in our minds!
68!
A trusted partner!
Chen Xun felt a warmth in his heart.
Although Rob always jokes around, he genuinely helps him.
"It's alright, the paparazzi haven't breached security yet. Any new information from your side?"
Chen asked.
"That's exactly what I was going to tell you!"
Rob's tone became excited:
"The rough cut of 'Crimson Rivers' is out, and several distributors who have seen it have given it positive feedback! Especially your action scenes!"
"Thanks to your girlfriend, quite a few projects now know your name. I've received a few audition invitations; I'll send them to your email later!"
Rob's favorability: +1
It seems that bringing good news can slightly increase favorability.
Chen Xun noted down this discovery.
After hanging up the phone, he tried to sense Li Suyan again.
Lee So-yeon - Affection Level: 55 (Close Friend)
Reasonable!
This girl may be gossipy, but she's not a bad person at heart!
He even tried to sense Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron, whom he had only met a few times on set.
Chris Hemsworth - Affinity: 25 (A slightly familiar colleague)
Charlize Theron - Affinity: 18 (A colleague whose name is known)
They're all very low!
But it met expectations.
After all, there wasn't much in-depth communication.
This new skill is so useful!
Chen Xun felt like he was playing a strategy game with full map visibility. Although he couldn't directly control the units, the advantage in terms of information was enormous.
He glanced at Christine, who was drinking water in the kitchen, with the number [35] hovering steadily above her head.
