I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

Chapter 180:

"You may begin, but you're not allowed to touch my sister, otherwise your magic trick won't count as successful!" Lin Chen declared specifically.

Wang Haoran just smiled and walked slowly to a position half a meter in front of Qiu Qianwei, then circled around her once before returning to his original position in front of her. He released the grip on his hand, and there, in the palm of his hand, was Qiu Qianwei's one-inch ID photo.

"How... how did you..." Qiu Qianwei was shocked, unable to close her mouth.

[Ding, the female lead Qiu Qianwei's favorability towards the host has increased by 5, current total favorability is 40 (very friendly)]

[Ding, the host influences the plot and gains 200 villain points!]

"How's that? Is this magic trick good?" Wang Haoran asked with a smile.

Qiu Qianwei's initial shock subsided slightly, but soon a sense of embarrassment emerged. She had hidden the ID photo so securely, yet Wang Haoran still managed to take it.

It meant that Wang Haoran had touched her...

On the side, Qin Yunhan, Xu Muyan, Mu Zhaozhao, and Wen Jing, all transformed into little fangirls, enthusiastically cheered Wang Haoran.

"Damn, how did he do it?" Lin Chen's eyes almost popped out. He was also a magician and understood some of the tricks involved, but Wang Haoran's magic was beyond his comprehension.

Seeing Lin Chen's expression, Wang Haoran couldn't help but smirk.

What he did wasn't actually magic, so it couldn't be explained by the principles of magic. Even if Lin Chen racked his brain, he probably wouldn't understand how he did it.

Putting aside these thoughts, Wang Haoran refocused his attention on Qiu Qianwei. They had only just met, yet he had already boosted Qiu Qianwei's favorability to 40, which was quite rapid. Just 10 more points, and Qiu Qianwei would start feeling admiration towards him.

Wang Haoran's Charm Halo was currently available for use and could increase favorability by 10 points. He communicated with the system and immediately activated the Charm Halo on Qiu Qianwei.

At the same time, the system quickly sent a prompt.

[Ding, the host's attempt to use the Charm Halo on the female lead Qiu Qianwei failed.]

'Huh?'

Wang Haoran, upon receiving the system prompt, couldn't help but be stunned. How could the Charm Halo fail? It should be a one-time use for each female lead. What was special about Qiu Qianwei?

"Why did it fail?" Wang Haoran communicated with the system through his thoughts.

[Ding, the female lead Qiu Qianwei has special character settings. With the current 40 favorability, the Charm Halo cannot further increase it. Specific reasons are unknown to the system. Please explore on your own, host.]

'Damn it.'

Wang Haoran grumbled inwardly and ended the communication with the system.

"It's about time. My brother and I are leaving, but it was nice meeting you today. If possible, I'd like to be friends with you," Qiu Qianwei said kindly.

"Of course." Wang Haoran nodded with a smile. "Could I borrow your phone for a moment?"

"Sure." Qiu Qianwei readily took out her phone.

Wang Haoran opened Qiu Qianwei's phone and quickly exchanged contact information with her. Of course, he also implanted a spy virus into Qiu Qianwei's phone.

"All set." Wang Haoran returned the phone to Qiu Qianwei.

"Goodbye then. My personal concert will be in five days. If you and your friends are interested, I can give you some tickets," Qiu Qianwei said proactively.

"Yes! We're very interested!" Qin Yunhan, a fan of Qiu Qianwei, immediately responded in Wang Haoran's stead.

Qiu Qianwei nodded with a smile and then left with Lin Chen.

...

"Seventh Sister, where did you hide the ID photo just now?"

In the Pagani, Lin Chen couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked Qiu Qianwei.

"You little brat, focus on driving and be careful," Qiu Qianwei avoided the topic.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore." Seeing her reaction, Lin Chen stopped asking, but suddenly brought up another sensitive topic, "Seventh Sister, why did you exchange numbers with that guy? Did you fall for him just because he performed a magic trick?"

"What are you thinking?" Qiu Qianwei reached out and lightly tapped Lin Chen's head. "I have strict standards for boyfriends, did you forget?"

She did find Wang Haoran quite handsome, and his magic was amazing, but that wasn't enough to make her like him.

"Right, right, Seventh Sister, you only choose boyfriends who excel in the field of music like you do." Lin Chen immediately relaxed, feeling quite relieved.

According to Qiu Qianwei's criteria for choosing boyfriends, it was unlikely that anyone in the world would meet them. His worries were completely unnecessary.

However, Lin Chen still harbored some resentment towards Wang Haoran. He had the prodigy system, and by showing off, he could gain points and exchange them for various abilities.

Moreover, the points gained from successfully showing off in front of beautiful sisters were incomparable to those gained in front of ordinary people.

If it weren't for today's successful showing off in front of those beautiful sisters, he could have exchanged for super abilities for music.

Unfortunately, Wang Haoran messed it up for him. Lin Chen couldn't help but feel resentful.

...

"Only choose boyfriends who excel in the field of music like her? Is that Qiu Qianwei's character setting? No wonder I couldn't directly increase her favorability with the Charm Halo," Wang Haoran overheard Lin Chen and Qiu Qianwei's conversation and suddenly understood.

For example, a rise from 30 to 40 favorability, the Charm Halo must have been effective because it was still within the friendly range.

But now, Qiu Qianwei's favorability was 40, and just 10 more points would bring her admiration level to 50. The transition from friendly to admiring would be a direct leap.

Wang Haoran only performed "magic tricks" and didn't show any musical talent. Therefore, he couldn't meet the standard for Qiu Qianwei to admire him.

He had God-level singing skills, but compared to international piano genius Qiu Qianwei, he still fell short.

Wang Haoran immediately checked the system shop with this in mind.

He had plenty of villain points now. Even after spending 3000 on the Resistance Halo, he still had 17700 left.

There were so many things he could exchange for.

Carefully browsing through the system shop, he began selecting abilities related to music from the myriad of items available.
