Chapter 144.6 Plannning
Liu Xing and the three others exchanged glances, never expecting KP Ghost to suddenly make such a move.
However, KP Ghost’s actions could be seen as helping Liu Xing and the others, as this allowed them to determine when Professor Yang would return. If Professor Yang returned within ten minutes, Zhang Jingxu and the others would have no choice but to accept the "electrotherapy" obediently.
After all, if Professor Yang returned during the "electrotherapy" session and saw that Liu Xing had not administered the treatment to Zhang Jingxu and the others, he would definitely be dissatisfied with Liu Xing’s abilities, which would lower his favorability towards Liu Xing. On the other hand, if Liu Xing successfully administered the treatment, it would increase Professor Yang’s favorability towards him.
Liu Xing felt that favorability was a crucial attribute, as it determined whether NPCs were willing to help him. To put it simply, a high favorability score meant that NPCs would be more willing to assist him. If Liu Xing could reach a favorability score of 100 with Uncle Qin, the doorman, he could even ask Uncle Qin to help him take all the patients from the internet addiction treatment center away, and Uncle Qin would agree without hesitation. In other games, a favorability score of 100 would be equivalent to a bond of life and death.
Professor Yang’s favorability was undoubtedly the most important value in this game, and Liu Xing estimated that it was around 50, given that he had been flattering Professor Yang and could sense that Professor Yang’s attitude towards him had improved significantly since their first meeting.
However, this also made Liu Xing feel that Professor Yang was not entirely under the control of the Yis People, as humans were just fleeting mayflies in the eyes of the Yis People, who were virtually immortal and could travel through time at will. Therefore, the Yis People rarely interacted with humans, let alone increased their favorability towards them.
Although Liu Xing couldn’t see Professor Yang’s favorability score on his character card, as a perceptive doctor, he could still sense the change in Professor Yang’s attitude towards him, which made him suspect that Professor Yang had not been completely taken over by the Yis People.
The Yis People typically needed to overcome a mental resistance to take over another being’s body, and if they succeeded, they could possess the body smoothly. Liu Xing suspected that the Yis People had failed to completely take over Professor Yang’s body due to some resistance, which was why Professor Yang’s consciousness still remained in his body and could even control it.
Therefore, increasing Professor Yang’s favorability was crucial, just like what had happened earlier. If the favorability score was not high enough, Professor Yang would not allow Liu Xing to stay behind and administer the "electrotherapy" to Zhang Jingxu and the others. If Liu Xing could increase Professor Yang’s favorability, he felt that his authority in the internet addiction treatment center would be enhanced, making it easier for him to do things.
To make matters worse, the three of them were still just kids, and their credibility as students was low, with none of them having a credibility score above 20. As a result, their words carried little weight.
It’s worth reiterating that credibility not only represents a character’s assets but also their social status. With credibility scores below 20, the three of them were essentially powerless, and no NPC would listen to them.
It’s a tough spot to be in, especially as elementary school students.
"I think we need to choose someone to undergo electrotherapy," Wu Wei said seriously. "We’ve seen how those who have been electrotherapized are acting strangely, so we need to observe the state of the player after the first electrotherapy. If the change is significant, we’ll all have to undergo it to ensure Liu Xing can gain Professor Yang’s trust and lay the groundwork for our next plan."
Xue Jingliu nodded in agreement, saying, "That’s right. As elementary school students, we’re basically cannon fodder, sacrificing ourselves to give Liu Xing an advantage. This way, Liu Xing can lead us out of the treatment center."
Liu Xing fully agreed with Xue Jingliu’s assessment, saying, "Alright, let’s get started. I’ll let you guys choose someone to undergo electrotherapy first, and then you can decide who goes next using rock-paper-scissors. That way, it’s fair. We’ll observe the outcome and decide whether to electrotherapize the remaining two."
The three of them nodded and took their positions, ready to continue the game.
