Chapter 23: Met an Advertiser
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Hardly moments had passed since Tang Xi left the toilet when the Xiao brothers came to find her. They were relieved to see that Tang Xi was fine. Xiao Yao frowned and asked, “Why have you been here so long? Is there anything wrong with you?”
Thinking of the person she met in the toilet, Tang Xi grinned and replied, “Maybe because I drank to much wine, I felt a little dizzy, so I sat for a while and forgot the time. And when Jing came to call me, my belly ached…”
Xiao Yao nodded. “Let’s go. Mom just called and asked us to go back home.”
Tang Xi didn’t object. She glanced back into the toilet. She couldn’t help him any further.
Tang Xi was a little drowsy on the way, and the Xiao brothers thought she was drunk. Only she herself knew that she was exhausted because it was her first time taking out a bullet for another person; she had put all her energy into the operation.
Suddenly, Tang Xi heard the voice of the system prompt in her mind…
[The host Tang Xi has completed the ‘rescue’ task, so your experience points will increase randomly. Please click ‘Yes’ to check the current data.]
Tang Xi reached out her hand and clicked ‘Yes’.
Her current experience points were as follows:
[Experience Point: 71/800
Martial Point: 1/100
Physical Point: 10/100
Face Point: 20/100
Figure Point: 10/100
Charm Point: 20/100
Revenge Point: 0/100
Wealth Point: 10/100
Face Slapping Point: 10/100]
Tang Xi’s eyes lit up as she saw that her experience points were increasing sharply. Just when she was about to speak, however, another system prompt appeared before her eyes.
[System Prompt: As the host has completed the ‘concealment’ task and made everyone believe your words, the system specially gifts you a temporary skill—an all-purpose skill. Click ‘Yes’ to accept.]

Tang Xi frowned. What did this mean?
Xiao Sa saw Tang Xi frowning from the rearview mirror and asked, “Is Rourou drunk? If we take Rourou home like this, Mom will be so mad at us. We’d better take her to the riverside to sober up.”
Xiao Yao glanced sideways at the drowsy Tang Xi and frowned. He thought Xiao Sa was right, so he winked at Xiao Jing, and the latter turned the car around and headed for the riverside.
Tang Xi was busy communicating with 008 and didn’t notice where they were headed for.
[Tips: The host can use the all-purpose skill two hours a day and one sub-skill at a time. Upon using the all-purpose skill, you will become capable of feats that you are actually not capable of.]
Tang Xi raised her eyebrow. “You mean that even though I don’t know how to operate, when I use the all-purpose skill, I will become a professional surgeon, right?”
[System: Yes, you are right.]
Oh my gosh! Tang Xi almost jumped with excitement. This system was really awesome! She thought it was unimaginable for her to be reborn in Xiao Rou’s body, but now she knew what was really unimaginable!
Xiao Rou immediately clicked ‘Yes’ to accept the all-purpose skill, and happily began to try it.
This was her favorite skill so far. With this skill, from now on, there was nothing she couldn’t do in this world…
Oh, right. She could only use it two hours a day. That was the only downside!
Tang Xi, however, was still quite content with it.
Tang Xi suddenly felt a little hot. She opened the car window and leaned over it to get some cool breeze. However, she didn’t notice that her face was slowly changing because her various points had increased…
The riverside of City A was particularly beautiful, and the greening here was also very good. In such weather, many citizens of City A would come here to sit on the grass under the willow trees and chat with friends while enjoying the river breeze. A lot of film teams would choose to film here, and many advertising companies would also come here to shoot print ads.

Xiao Jing found a parking space nearby and parked the car. It was only now that Tang Xi found that the surrounding scenery had changed. She frowned as she asked, “Where is this?”
She grew up in the capital, so she wasn’t familiar with City A.
Although City A was also a metropolis, to be honest, she had only visited here twice, and both trips had been for ‘that person’.
Xiao Yao took a look at Tang Xi and opened the car door for her. “You can’t come home like this. Mom will be so mad at us. That’s why we took you here to sober up.”
Tang Xi suddenly realized that they might have thought she was drowsy because she was drunk, but she dared not explain the real reason. She just smiled shyly and said thank you. After that, she began to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful scenery on the riverside. With her hands slightly open, she felt the breeze moving through her fingers.
“It’s really nice here. The air is good, the sun is good and everything is good.” Tang Xi smiled at the three brothers, and such a casual movement of hers looked mesmerizing.
Xiao Jing elbowed Xiao Yao beside him, his eyes filled with surprise. He whispered to his two brothers, “Did you notice that Rourou’s face changed again?! She seems to have become prettier… I feel my heart skip a beat when she smiles at me.”
She would become a total knockout if she kept changing like this.
Xiao Yao had noticed it when Tang Xi looked at him just now, but he couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the girl’s face. Was this girls’ magic?
Xiao Sa couldn’t keep calm. “If Rourou hadn’t followed us all the way, I would have suspected that she’d done cosmetic surgery… it’s just unbelievable!”
Tang Xi was enjoying the breeze with her eyes closed, so she didn’t pay any attention to her brothers. She took two steps forward with her eyes closed, took off the hat on her head and threw it away, and then she lay on the riverside and bathed in the sunshine. It was so comfortable that she couldn’t help moaning, “It’s so comfortable. I feel like I haven’t enjoyed the sunshine like this for a long time.”
Just then, a person with a camera suddenly walked up to Tang Xi and snapped a picture of her. Hearing the sound of the shutter, Tang Xi opened her eyes with a frown and stared at the man.
The Xiao brothers quickly ran over and chased the man away. “Hey, what are you doing? She is not a model. Delete the photos and go away!”
Realizing that he had been rude, the man apologized, “Sorry, I’m sorry. I’m an advertising director of OLS Company. I came here to find some inspiration and saw this beautiful young lady, so I couldn’t help shooting her. Sorry about that. But I really hope she can star in our commercial. I promise I can make her an instant hit.”
Xiao Sa frowned. “OLS? The perfume company?”
Seeing that Xiao Sa had heard about their company, the man nodded excitedly and said, “Yes, we’re the best-selling luxury company in the country. Although we haven’t ranked among the top luxury brands in the world, our goods are quite popular… If this lady is willing to work for our company…”

He leaned his forehead down, so it was resting on my belly and wrapped his arms around my back. "We should talk about this." He whispered with his head still on my stomach. I nearly didn't hear him. I was too focused on the sparks tingling through my arms as I caressed his back and continued my gentle assault through his hair."Ok. What should we talk about?"
