Chapter 313 Leg Ring +1: Three Days Without Sleep Halo
Su Yang was already used to the point addition system so nothing surprised him.
It would be a regular special item and there wouldn’t be any additional properties like Life Leap or anything like that.
Initially, Su Yang thought that if the item had a scent Little Hus could pick up, it would mean that the item could become a little monster. Then, the leg ring would become an imperial sister monster and if that were to happen, it would be simply wonderful.
As a result, his joy was prematurely ended.
‘Why did Little Hus seem to sniff a stronger scent on this item? Is it because it would be more useful? Maybe there’s something special about it
Su Yang didn’t quite understand.
Since the interface for the item hadn’t come out yet, Su Yang could only wait patiently.
He brought out the (Unknown Sticky Note] from the drawer and turned a book into a toy to tease cats so he could play with Goldy.
Because of Director w.a.n.g’s issues today, Lin Jiali handed the little guy over to her a.s.sistant and since it didn’t like her, it didn’t even bother interacting with her and ran off to play with its own tail.
On the way home, it kept whispering in Su Yang’s ear, going on and on about how shameless he and Lin Jiali was when they left him alone in a corner. There were no servants for it at all!
You heard right. It had recognized Su Yang as its servant and Lin Jiali… She was the second one.
As the Golden Leopard who had always been proud, it was naturally the supreme queen!
When they were in the taxi, Su Yang kept closing its mouth in an attempt to get it to stop talking out of annoyance. ‘How can a black, shadowy kitten be so talkative?!’
To be honest, in the taxi, Su Yang kept trying to cover its mouth and tell it to stop talking, it was so annoying. How could a black, shadowy kitten be a talker?
Unfortunately, Goldy was communicating telepathically with Su Yang so covering its mouth was utterly useless.
After they returned home, the kitten wasn’t idle at all. It didn’t even bother walking properly as it stretched all four limbs on the ground as it stirred and jumped non-stop around Su Yang like a zombie cat.
Su Yang was extremely annoyed. ‘Are all kittens like this? Ignoring people when you’re trying to play with them before they start clinging to you the moment you ignore them.’
After adding some points, Su Yang used the (Unknown Sticky Note) to get a stick to tease the kitten, trying to get it to calm down quickly after moving a lot.
However, the moment the cat teasing stick was put in front of Goldy, it told SU Yang telepathically, “Stupid human, do you really think that’ll work on me?”
Her voice was one of youth and pride. It was as prideful as her true form-a female panther.
Su Yang replied, “How would I know if I didn’t try?”
Initially, it grunted when Su Yang teased it with the stick. However, it eventually fell to it as its eyes turned into hearts as it jumped around in an attempt to get a hold of the stick while meowing.
Su Yang then decided to stop teasing the cat.
When Goldy snapped back into her senses, she released the stick and in a confused voice, she spoke to Su Yang, “Meow? What’s wrong with me? It’s so strange!” Su Yang had the smile of a weird uncle plastered all over his face. Then, he began teasing Goldy with the stick once more. As Goldy meowed, its instincts took over as its black paws fluttered around in an attempt to grab the stick.
As a result, the cat teasing stick wobbled even more as she grabbed it. The continued teasing made her scream at an even higher pitch as it became even more enthusiastic.
Su Yang saw her playing happily and used the (Unknown Sticky Note) to create an automated cat-teaser before placing it on the door. Goldy became very distracted as it began playing with her new toy. Su Yang sat on the chair and shook his head as he watched her playing with the cat teaser on the floor. ‘No cat can resist the temptation of a cat teaser…’
Since the leg ring hasn’t prompted him yet, Su Yang opened his stock account once more, intending to see if the price of the stocks he got had increased.
To his dismay, he realized that his stock holdings had fallen again. They fell quite a bit as well, as the stock counters dropped at an average of 4%, which translated to a 200,000 loss.
Having never spent this much money since he was a child, Su Yang couldn’t help himself from putting his hands over his chest as he felt intense pain.
‘Had I known that this would happen, I would’ve played it safe and gotten some banking counters instead! The drop is simply too miserable.
‘I was counting on this money to complete my Silver Mission as well…
‘The new Silver Mission was to earn 10 million but why do I feel like I’m getting further away from the goal?’
Su Yang was stumped as he closed his stock account with a sigh, hoping that his movie would be a big hit.
If it did, he might still have a glimmer of hope of completing the mission.
‘However… Little Ha’s nose never fails so why did it suddenly fail when it comes to stocks? ‘Is this drop just an illusion? Are the market makers manipulating the market?’
As a newbie in the matter, Su Yang wouldn’t have understood it even if he spent half a day thinking. In any case, he felt like if he were to sell his stocks now, he’d suffer a loss. If not for the mandatory lock-in period of the Silver Mission, he would’ve taken the hit a long time ago.
‘After all, taking a hit means that I won’t be able to enjoy the upside when it comes as well…
‘I wanted to look at the stocks while I was in the mood but I ended up closing the page in defeat. It feels like such a roller coaster…’
Su Yang took a look at Goldy who was still playing enthusiastically with her cat teaser.
The original leg ring was almost a dozen centimetres long with b.u.t.tons on both ends to hold it in place. However, it seemed to have become a completely black circle that sat quietly on the desk without even the slightest hint of movement.
If he hadn’t accidentally discovered that the b.u.t.tons were gone, he wouldn’t have thought it even changed. ‘What is this turning into? Has it turned into a new style of leg ring?’ Just as Su Yang was deep in thought, an interface finally popped up above the leg ring. [Leg Ring +1: Obtained new special ability. Confirm appraisal?]
‘Of course I’ll confirm it! Only a fool wouldn’t confirm it!
Su Yang didn’t even know why this stupid system came out with an option like this every time.
He looked at this leg ring with great antic.i.p.ation. He had to sacrifice his image to get this thing so it had to be of some use!
‘If it doesn’t work, I’ll tear Little Hus apart myself!’
With that in mind, Su Yang confirmed the appraisal. Two seconds later, an interface appeared above the leg ring.
[Three Days Without Sleep Halo]
Abilities: With this halo, you can choose up to 5 people in your organization (including yourself) to be energetic and only need to sleep twice within three days for no more than 4 hours each. There are no side effects after the halo is removed.
Restriction 1: If you have more than one organization, you can only choose 5 people in the same organization. You cannot select people across organizations.
Restriction 2: Organizations with more than 1,000 people will not be able to select.
Restriction 3: The effect of this halo doesn’t work on writing novels. If you write a novel while using this ability, you’ll trigger a drag effect-only 2,000 words will be written in three days.
Note 1: According to scientific research, people only need to sleep an hour and a half a day to regain enough energy. Your extra sleep is actually a waste of life. Note 2: The scientific research in note 1 is wrong. Hoo! Hoo!
Su Yang was completely befuddled when he read about the abilities.
‘What the h.e.l.l is this?
‘Where’s my amazing ability?!
‘Little Hus didn’t catch a whiff of this particular fragrance just because it was an halo, did he?
‘However, this ability does seem to be somewhat useful. After all, it allows one to sleep less and work more! ‘Still, I can only choose five people in a company with 60 to 70 people. How can that be enough?!’
As he looked at the halo in his hand, Su Yang felt terrible. To get the thing in his hand, he had to look like a pervert in front of Lin Jiali…
‘I’m just too naive…’ With that in mind, Su Yang spoke in the empty room, “Little Deeny, give Little Hus another five hours.”
“Okay, Master.”
As he studied the abilities of this halo, Su Yang felt that it was rather useful, especially when it came to things like… Playing Games!
‘If I can find five good friends to rank together with this… We’d only have to sleep twice in three days. I might even be able to rank up to gold!
‘Naturally, if I start inting, I might actually fall all the way to bronze as well.’
Su Yang felt that he wasted a random point…
He just hoped that this halo would be of some use in the future.
Then, he picked up the halo, intending to see how it could be used.
As soon as he picked it up, he found that there were several virtual rings that appeared on his body, neck, arm, wrist, fingers, and legs.
Su Yang wanted to try it out on his neck when suddenly, the halo disappeared and his hands felt light. Then, it appeared around his neck and he began feeling a tightness there. He went to the toilet to look and found that he had an extra neck ring on his neck. ‘Huh? Is that how you play with this thing?’ Then, he tried it out on the other parts and found that the halo was self-adapting and could fit on any part of his body.
‘Tsk, tsk, interesting. In that case, I’ll use it as a ring and put it on my finger first.
After putting on the halo, Su Yang saw an interface appear before him with the organizations under him. There, he could choose the organizations and people to bestow the halo’s buffs on them.
Su Yang took a look and realized that he had quite a number of ‘organizations’. There was a business company, a technology company, a cash cow company, a film company, a cla.s.s in his university, and even…. There’s even a crew!
It was probably added because Producer Zhao producer added him to the crew list after he said he was an onsite producer.
Su Yang picked the crew, put his name on the list, and shut the menu down.
‘Woah, it’s immediate! I feel incredibly energetic! I can’t seem to get enough of it!’
He felt like he had a hundred rounds left in him!
So he… Turned on the game and started a war! He believed that with this halo, he could very well reach the rank of King without eating or drinking for three days!
However, he was banned after two rounds.
He was reported by his teammates for days in a row for intentionally feeding. With the two games he played today, he had lost about 15 points and got suspended for 6 hours.
‘Sigh, even the gamemasters are preventing me from ranking up to king!
Su Yang felt like there was something shady going on here!
In the evening, Bubbles took a taxi home by herself, a little depressed. Once she arrived home, she plopped down on the couch and didn’t want to move. Seeing her tired look, Su Yang didn’t hesitate to use the (Three Days Without Sleep Halo) on her.
The aura took effect immediately. Bubbles was suddenly more energetic and had the energy to chat.
According to her, the crew was simply too stupid. She had never seen a crew that was so difficult to direct, so she got a pulsing headache after a day of shooting.
Su Yang patted her head and comforted her, dispelling her blind thoughts along the way. ‘You’re fine, your headache probably won’t last much longer.’
Afterwards, she was given another copy of the Demon Family script, which she was energetic enough to study. After studying the script, she would be able to re-shoot Demon Family after finis.h.i.+ng the shoot for Fighting The Buddha.
Bubbles was so angry at Su Yang’s shamelessness that she scrunched up her face and almost took a shot at the shameless Su Yang. However, thinking about how nice Su Yang treated her, she heaved a sigh and ran back to the courtyard after taking the script.
For some reason, the little monsters all preferred rooms. Bubbles was the only one who liked the courtyard. Perhaps, it was because she was a cannon in her own right.
The night was silent, and in the early morning of the next day, a prompt sounded in Su Yang’s mind while he was still playing the game. (One day remaining before the Lucky Disfiguring Brick will be off cooldown]
‘Only one day left…’
Su Yang felt that time was pa.s.sing by really fast. Three months had pa.s.sed without him noticing
In these three months, Su Yang’s life had undergone drastic changes which were brought to him by the addition point system.
Among them, the most useful special item was the Lucky Disfiguring Brick.
The more he used it, the more he understood its powers. He felt like he hadn’t actually been taking advantage of that half hour!
So, he decided that this time would be different. He was going to plan something big and take advantage of the lucky half hour he had with the Lucky Disfiguring Slab.
