31: Is It an Illusion?
In the steamy bathroom, Su Mo had been standing in front of the mirror for a long ti since the system's electronic synthesized voice rang in her mind.
As a legal citizen of the twenty-first century who had received modern higher education, Su Mo had always been a standard atheist.
Now the challenge system's issued mission actually told her that there were spirit-in-the-mirror topics similar to eerie novels in the world, which inevitably surprised her.
However, beyond surprise, thinking that she had already bound to a 'more transcendent reality' system, Su Mo beca relieved. After all, even systems had appeared—what was so novel about the soul of her mirror reflection!
After brief surprise, Su Mo couldn't help but carefully examine this newly refreshed 'encounter' type mission.
Unlike most ordinary missions activated by the challenge system using 'keywords,' encounter missions had special conditions triggered by 'right ti and place.'
Their appearance was very rare—so rare that Su Mo, who had been bound to the system for five years, had only encountered three tis. The price of such rarity was also obvious: the rewards were very generous.
But everything had pros and cons. Such good encounter missions also had drawbacks—if one hesitated too long without accepting, the mission might disappear.
Thinking of this characteristic of encounter missions that couldn't be deliberated over, Su Mo looked again at the 500 Challenge Coins mission reward that could exactly purchase 'Disguise Technique.'
Although Su Mo had previously been a boy, honestly speaking, his courage wasn't great. He usually didn't dare watch horror movies alone at night, so regarding such soul-leaving, horror-movie-like mysterious events, she was sowhat afraid.
But after brief consideration, Su Mo ultimately couldn't resist the temptation. After all, the mission reward was really too much—500 Challenge Coins was equivalent to a B-level mission.
Moreover, Su Mo was also very curious about what the spirit in the mirror, which had always been imitating her movents, would do and say after appearing.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for accepting encounter challenge mission—Spirit in the Mirror. Please position yourself 10cm in front of the mirror within half an hour to activate the mission. If ti expires, this mission will automatically lose challenge qualification and lose subsequent Spirit in the Mirror challenge mission rights.]
Following mission acceptance, after hearing the challenge system's electronic synthesized voice content, Su Mo was slightly stunned.
She had originally thought this was just an ordinary mission, not expecting it to have sequels.
After a brief surprise, Su Mo didn't rush to the mirror to do the mission, but first looked at the attribute panel in her mind.
After all, she had just completed the second SSS mission and hadn't carefully examined her changes this ti.
Host: Su Mo
Age: 19 years old (female)
Average Heartbeat: 32.3
Voice: 4 (Unremarkable girl's voice)
Fragrance: 4 (No odor, clean constitution, original flavor)
Body: 2 (Advise host not to fight others unless host has M constitution)
Skin: 6 (Porcelain-white skin, slippery, cool touch that's addictive)

Special Body Skills: Fragrant Lips and Teeth
Overall Rating: 5.2 points
Evaluation: Current host has weak constitution and sweet lips and teeth, but no major facial transformation, quite possessing the sickly youth's pitiable charm. This constitution is very attractive to so 'reverse conquest' tagged big sisters!
Next stage, SSS Heartbeat Hide and Seek 3/10 stage mission—Charming Won's Clothing: As a girl, how can you not wear beautiful won's clothing? Please have host change into a girl's outfit with system rating exceeding 80 points to succeed. Success reward: 100 200 Challenge Coins.
After reading the updated attribute panel information.
At this mont, Su Mo's pair of moist eyes couldn't help but widen to their maximum, her long eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings due to disbelief.
The surprise wasn't from gaining the 'Fragrant Lips and Teeth' skill and increasing Charm by two full points, or the Overall Rating improvent. Rather, through observation, Su Mo shockingly discovered that her average heartbeat value, which was 30.5 last night, had now increased to 32.3—a full 1.8 increase.
This was equivalent to the effect of 18 'Cardiac Stimulants,' so what was this situation?
Just as Su Mo's heart was churning, thinking about the specific reasons.
The next second, as if hearing Su Mo's muttering, an electronic synthesized voice rang in her mind.
[Ding, detecting host confusion. According to this system's calculations, host's heartbeat changes belong to normal heart regulation. As is well known, the human body possesses powerful regulatory and training abilities. Just like exercising muscles, today's host has been very nervous, especially when interacting with female humans, with heartbeat at the extre edge of jumping state. Therefore, it's speculated the heart received good exercise, thus improving performance.]
Hearing the challenge system's reasonable explanation, Su Mo was sowhat shocked.
As a patient with congenital heart failure, Su Mo had known much about heart exercise knowledge since childhood. Heart exercise routines, wellness packages—she had tried and practiced these.
But honestly speaking, these things were like online abdominal muscle training courses, without much effect.
As for so vigorous exercises, Su Mo's body couldn't handle them, so she gradually gave up.
Now hearing the challenge system's explanation, Su Mo didn't react for a mont.
Emmmmmmmmmm So communicating with girls could actually accelerate heartbeat!
Didn't that an she had spent countless wrongful Challenge Coins all these years???
[Ding, detecting host's inner murmuring. This system warmly reminds that it's not talking with girls that can increase heartbeat frequency, but rather host needs to enter a 'nervous but not overly intense' state. According to this system's deduction, when host interacts with female human 'An Xiaoqian,' the improvent effect is most obvious.]
Hearing the electronic synthesized voice in her mind again, hearing it specifically ntion 'An Xiaoqian,' that black-hearted little loli, recalling the 'thrilling' incidents during the hot pot al just now, Su Mo at this mont was both gratified and conflicted.
After all, from the results, increased average heartbeat was good, but the problem was she didn't want to be bullied by An Xiaoqian, much less admit that being bullied by her could make her healthier!
What kind of masochistic character setting was this ahhhhh!
Silently touching her soft chest, letting these two conflicting emotions dissipate.
After calming down, Su Mo didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that since accepting the SSS-level Heartbeat Hide and Seek, her challenge system, although its tone hadn't changed much, sohow felt like it had beco more humanized.
Was it an illusion?
