Chapter 109 Mommy
After practicing for several days, Rosie finally discovered something.
That's right. They say it's a system upgrade, and she can complete her daily tasks more easily now. Getting 400 points every day is no problem, but it doesn't feel like she has more points than during the show.
Before, when there were tasks like "mastering a choreography" and "mastering a song," she could at least work hard to become proficient in a few dance songs and sometimes even get 500 points a day. But now that these two tasks have disappeared, she feels like she has energy but nowhere to use it.
While it's good to put more effort into practicing her debut song, it allows her to better grasp various details and refine her facial expressions in different movements.
But she still needs to get points!
The current points in the warehouse are 1600 points from the tasks in these four days, plus 400 points from the proficiency task, and the remaining 620 points, for a total of 2620 points.
I'm still a long way from the 6000 points needed to turn my 44 Charm points into 50.
On the taskbar, next to "Increase Charm to 50 points," there's a "Recommended Priority." Although I don't know exactly why, I think it's best to do as it says.
"041, quickly give me more point-earning tasks!"
[Okay, Luo Xi, 041 will increase the application effort! Actually, 041 has applied a lot, but they've all been rejected! However, with 041's high-intensity application process, there will definitely be some that slip through the net. Luo Xi, just wait for good news from 041!]
"Okay."
As she spoke, Luo Xi carefully examined her task list.
Currently, it seems that besides the team spirit mission, there are only two other things that can be done.
One is achieving the proficiency levels of "Singing and Dancing" simultaneously: Proficient/Master/Perfect/Legendary.
I've mastered all four songs and dances for this task, but I'm still a bit short of being a proficient one. Once I catch up in a few days, I should be able to get 800 points.
The problem is the perfect level... This task requires both singing and dancing proficiency to be met, so Luo Xi needs to raise her singing skill to 50 to unlock the perfect level of singing.
Her current singing ability attribute is 38, and the higher the attribute increases, the harder it is to randomly increase the attribute points through practice. If she wants to improve her singing ability in a short period of time, she will still have to use points.
There's a shortage of everything.
Another one is that achieving a perfect level of personal performance during any shooting session actually earns 200 points each time.
Filming will begin in four days, at which point I should be able to do this task.
"I'll do my best then. I'm great at looking at the camera; I'm sure I'll get all 200 points!"
【Go Rosie!】Waving virtual light sticks to cheer on Rosie is also something 041 is good at.

There were no filming scheduled for that afternoon, but their manager arranged some classes for them. Song Chuchu, Li Longxuan, and Lu Yun took a dance class, while Luo Xi and Gu Minxing took a vocal class together.
The daily schedule is basically different, depending on the arrangements. Sometimes, if there are any issues and the teacher can't come, or if there are equipment problems during filming and it has to be postponed, the agent will arrange for them to go to class, practice on their own, or rest.
Luo Xi took rap lessons with Lu Yun, vocal lessons with Gu Minxing, and fitness classes.
Luo Xi and Gu Minxing met during their vocal lessons and became more familiar with each other. Luo Xi witnessed Gu Minxing's talent even more, realizing that calling him a singer was no exaggeration.
The vocal coach had something to do today and only taught one class; the two finished class quickly this time.
After finishing her vocal lesson, Luo Xi had basically figured out how to sing that high note, and she was overjoyed. "I finally sang it, hahaha!"
“You really have a talent for singing, Eun-hee,” Gu Minxing said with a smile.
"You're definitely not as good as Brother Minxing, you're so professional!" Luo Xi gave Gu Minxing a thumbs up.
"Because I started learning at a very young age, at the affiliated primary school of Huaguo Music School, and later went on to junior high and high school, I had access to more resources, so it's normal that I know more than you. I really didn't have much talent for singing when I was a child, I just really liked it and that's why I've kept going."
"Does my brother still need to go to school?"
"I am currently studying an idol major in collaboration between the Mexican and Japanese music academies and the Chinese music academies. The schedule is quite flexible, and I can make up for the course exams at the end of the year."
"Wow, they even have an idol major."
“Well, I don’t attend many classes at school; I mostly practice at the company,” Gu Minxing said, looking at Luo Xi. “How about we go to the gym together for the rest of the time?”
"Okay, I haven't exercised yet today either..."
The two then walked to the gym.
Luo Xi is currently focusing on abs, although it's not very noticeable when she looks in the mirror. Her coach also says that she has a constitution that makes it difficult for her to build muscle, and she needs to persevere in the long term.
Gu Minxing has a physique that Luo Xi not only envies but also craves: a shapely figure that doesn't look bulky, strong arms, broad back muscles, and perfect abs and a large chest.
The stereotype of mothers-to-be having large breasts has increased.
Luo Xi sometimes suddenly empathizes with the fans' feelings about her wanting him to take off his clothes. As an upright man, it's really too much to not show off what's inside.
"Ding ding, a new mission is here!" A mission appeared before Rosie's eyes amidst 041's cheerful voice.
Team Spirit Mission
Talk to Gu Minxing to find the source of her conflict with Li Longxuan.
Reward: 50 points
"50... Your reward points are really as arbitrary as the task assignment."
It's better than nothing. She'll ask anyway.
After finishing a few sets of exercises, Luo Xi took a break and walked over to Gu Minxing, saying seemingly casually,
"Minsung, did you know Yonghyun before? Did you go to the same high school?"
"Yes, he's a year ahead of me, but we haven't been in touch for a long time, and I don't know anything about him."
"Why? Did you two have a fight?"
"We didn't argue, we just stopped contacting each other after we separated."
"I saw you two arguing earlier, during the recording of the show."
"We met by chance that day. I asked him why he wanted to participate in the show, and he said he suddenly wanted to be an idol. I hated his lazy tone, but it wasn't really an argument."
"I see. So, Minxing, what are you planning to do?"
"What do you mean?"
"You and Yong-hyun hyung, you haven't said a word to each other?"
“I don’t like him. You make it sound like you care about him a lot. You have no idea that Lee Yong-hyun is inherently cold and doesn’t show much emotion. He’s the kind of person who will laugh even when others are angry or sad.”
Gu Minxing struggled to maintain the upward lifting motion of the equipment, her words punctuated by uneven breathing.
“People like that are like black holes, they drain the energy of everyone who gets close to them. I’m not kidding. Just ignore him, he doesn’t need to. It’s best if we all keep our distance from him.”
"Okay, let's continue practicing then."
If Gu Minxing didn't want to talk about it, then Luo Xi wouldn't ask.
She was just about to go to the equipment area to do a few more sets of crunches when she heard Gu Minxing call her.
"Eun-hee, actually I'd also like to know... what do you think of me?"
Gu Minxing, having finished her movements, stood up and asked Luo Xi, "In your eyes, what kind of person am I?"
"Really?" Luo Xi had a correct answer that came to mind, but then felt it wasn't quite right.
While feeling that it's not quite appropriate, I also feel... that it would be a pity not to say it?
"Honestly." Gu Minxing thought that he wouldn't get angry no matter what.
"Mommy..."
