章 631: 498, Playing with contrast? Right, system [Second Update]_1

Emperor Xueye nodded, "So that's what it means."

Lin Yi continued, "I need to remind you that you must maintain the character role you draw at all times, and the standard for maintaining it is that you must do five or more things that highlight your character role every day. For each action less than five, your damage bonus will disappear for seven days. Only after doing five things to prove your character role on the seventh day, can you regain the bonus."

It seemed quite troublesome... Emperor Xueye's eyelids twitched.

Lin Yi said, "Of course, completing these five things doesn't mean you can revert to your original character role. During this period, you must not engage in behavior that shows a different character role."

"For example, if you draw a cold and aloof character role, if you smile even once during this period, then even if you complete the five daily tasks to prove your character role, the damage bonus will disappear immediately, and you can only refresh it after seven days."

Emperor Xueye's expression turned to one of puzzlement upon hearing this.

Didn't this mean that he had to constantly act as someone else from now on? If it was the cold and aloof role, it would be easier, as keeping a straight face without smiling would suffice. But if he drew a happy character role, wouldn't he have to keep smiling all the time?

Lin Yi said, "The rules of the reward are actually very simple. It's just acting. If you can act and do it well, that's enough."

Emperor Xueye nodded uneasily.

After all, as an emperor, securing this reward was rather difficult.

But now that he had become younger, he could indeed let go of a lot more than before.

Lin Yi said, "If you're ready, I'll draw your character role now."

Emperor Xueye replied, "I'm ready."

Various character roles started flashing on the panel in front of Lin Yi, including the cold and aloof male god, the domineering CEO, the tsundere loli... a complete array of roles.

Soon, the content on the panel stopped.

[Sloppy Beggar]

Uh, Lin Yi was taken aback.

A very straightforward character role...

So, was the system playing with contrasts?

Lin Yi looked towards Emperor Xueye, who was young and handsome, with a noble and elegant demeanor, his golden short hair combed neatly, and his attire shiny and splendid, the very image of a royal noble.

Yet, in the coming days, he was to play the role of a sloppy beggar?

The system was indeed playing with contrasts.

Lin Yi informed Emperor Xueye of the result, and as expected, his expression remained in shock for quite a while.

Emperor Xueye said in disbelief, "You want me... to beg?"

Lin Yi shook his head, "It's not just simple begging. Although the character role only has four words, you must fully act out the characteristics of this four-word role. Sloppy represents dirtiness, indifference to personal hygiene. So this clean appearance you have now is definitely not acceptable."

"As for a beggar, this term encompasses many character traits. Dirtiness is the most visible, followed by poverty, which means you can't wear these expensive clothes. Beyond that, beggars are always lacking money and hungry, so being greedy for money and gluttonous are also two of the most important traits. Beggars don't have beds to sleep in, so you'll have to sleep on the ground; beggars don't have homes, so you'll have to sleep on the streets..."

Lin Yi explained the definition of a beggar to Emperor Xueye in full, leaving him completely baffled.

Emperor Xueye had lived for so many years, but this was the first time he was getting such an in-depth understanding of the beggar profession.

But he was an emperor!

Lin Yi added, "Oh, I forgot to say the most important thing. By maintaining the character role, the damage bonus you receive will be a permanent seventy percent."

Seventy percent?!

Up to now, among all the damage bonus rewards that had been seen, the highest bonus at the Gold Rank was only a hundred percent, and yet this Red Intermediate Rank had already reached seventy percent!

That was enough to be shocking.

It seemed that the more one was willing to sacrifice, the more one could gain.

Lin Yi asked, "Do you accept this reward?"

Emperor Xueye pondered for a moment. Deep down, he was extremely repulsed by the idea. How could an emperor willingly become a beggar? Not only was it a loss of dignity, but it also meant losing the majesty of an emperor. How would the citizens of Tiandou view him?

However, this was a critical time. The Heaven Dou Faction was in dire need of damage. So after some thought, Emperor Xueye decided to accept it.

He told himself that this was the sacrifice he made as an emperor for the responsibility he shouldered.

"Accepted."

Lin Yi nodded and flicked the red orb of light in his hand toward the other party.

After the fusion reward, Lin Yi spoke again, "You have five minutes to change your persona, or once five minutes are up, the next time the enhancement refreshes will only be in seven days."

Emperor Xueye tensed up and immediately nodded.

"Sloppy Beggar," to sum it up, was dirty and disorganized.

Damn it to hell, he had just been worried about how Sect Master Ning would handle tomorrow's opening ceremony speech, but now he really should be worrying about how he was going to handle it!

Emperor Xueye thought quickly, tousled his meticulously groomed hair with his hands, then ran down from the stage to grab a handful of dirt and carelessly smear it across his face.

Seeing this, Bi Bidong couldn't help but frown, "Emperor Xueye really is willing to go all out to increase his damage."

Not to talk about positions, Emperor Xueye indeed was the most gentlemanly presence there.

"Rip—"

He quickly tore several holes in his expensive clothes, then lay on the ground and rolled a few times to cover his clothes in dust.

After doing all this, Emperor Xueye looked over himself and felt that something was still missing.

Just then, a voice came from below the stage, "Your Majesty, aren't you missing a broken bowl and a stick?"

Gu Rong shouted.

Emperor Xueye's eyes lit up immediately, "That's right!"

The five minutes were up.

At this time, several beggars who typically gathered around to watch the Gua Sha Master came late and stood on tiptoe to look at the stage, their expressions suddenly filled with amazement, "What happened, why has a fellow beggar moved up so far in the attack order?!"

Emperor Xueye smiled humbly on the stage, jingled the few copper soul coins in the rotten bowl, making a crisp sound, "Respected audience, might you spare some money?"

At that moment, a marker suddenly appeared in his mind:

[1/5: Begging for money]

Does this mean... out of the five things to prove one's persona, he had already completed one today?

Emperor Xueye was shaken and tried again, "Respected audience, I've been hungry for days, might you spare some food?"

[2/5: Begging for food]

As expected!

He had completed two things!

Just then, Lin Yi's voice came from ahead, "A few reminders, the five things you do each day to prove your persona can be repeated, and as long as the five things are completed before midnight that day, it's fine. You don't need to deliberately maintain your persona during the attacking time each day, and by now you should have gained a seventy percent increase in your damage."

Indeed, in just this short time, Emperor Xueye felt his body filling with explosive power, stronger and more vigorous than before.

This was probably the effect of the seventy percent enhancement.

It was terrifying to such an extent!

Best strike while the iron's hot!

Emperor Xueye immediately said, "Senior Lin Yi, I request my second attack of the day!"

With the damage enhancement accounted for, Emperor Xueye was extremely excited, even forgetting his worries about how he was going to handle the opening ceremony speech tomorrow.
