Volume 1 Chapter 447

Chapter 447: The Leading Version of Lolth

After deciding to put in more effort, Lolth did not hesitate and immediately began to show her lifelong knowledge.

Although she didn’t know many unfashionable love sayings, she had some experience from years of surfing the internet before.

"This is my hand, this is my foot, and you are my treasure."

"The difference between you and the stars is that the stars live in the sky, while you live in my heart."

"I went to buy oysters, and on the way home, all the oysters jumped out of the bag and burrowed into the dirt. So, this is what it means when oysters like mud!"

"A great playwright once said that if a gun appears in a story, it must be fired; and when you came into my life, I couldn’t help but like you."

"I realized that I liked you very much yesterday, I like you today as well—I have a feeling I will really like you tomorrow too."

"Do you smell something burning? That’s my heart on fire because I like you."

Lolth recited the unfashionable love talk that she could still remember with deep emotion.

This recitation lasted a full five minutes.

After five minutes, Lolth finally stopped.

She looked at the girl in front of her and found that the girl couldn’t raise her head because she felt so shy.

After a long silence from Lolth, the virtual girl gently lifted her head.

She looked at Lolth and showed a somewhat sad smile.

Seeing this expression, Lolth’s heart couldn’t help but feel tight.

"Oh dear…"

The girl sighed softly and shook her head.

"I wish I weren’t myself…"

As she said this, she gently reached out her hand.

She placed her delicate, translucent hand in Lolth’s palm, and then…

Her voice became a bit strange, like a magical, blended sound.

"Success rate: 99.99%"

The magic that makes up the girl began to fade away.

But a part of it condensed again.

In the end, it turned into a small red leaf and fell into Lolth’s hand.

That was the Proof of Trial for the "Skill Trial."

Lolth stared at this Proof of Trial in shock.

Then, she showed an expression of confusion.

"Huh–?"

"99.99%？！"

"Are you kidding me?!"

Lolth let out a series of unhappy shouts.

She really didn’t understand why she still got a score of 99.99% for such a terrible job!

In the end, even the grading part was different from everyone else’s; this must be unfair, right?

Annoyed, Lolth struggled to hold herself back from punching the silver puppet.

She just walked back to her teammates in frustration.

However, her shout sounded different to the others.

"She really is tough on herself; just 0.01% away from a perfect score and she’s this upset."

Julie looked at Lolth and commented.

"After all, she’s a succubus; this should be her proudest ‘skill’, right?"

Yi looked at the rare angry expression on Lolth’s face and came to a completely wrong conclusion.

Lalea nodded as well.

"Maybe she feels a little sorry for Julie and Qiong, after all, it’s not just her effort."

When Lolth returned, everyone as teammates encouraged her.

"That’s already really good; those words are quite impressive… no wonder she’s a succubus."

"Yes, if someone said that to me, I would definitely be 100% captivated."

"I think I understand how you managed to win over Isabella, that person who always has a grumpy face."

Listening to her teammates’ feedback, Lolth suddenly became aware.

It seems like the problem isn’t purely with the darkness.

Even if 99% of the problem is hidden, it seems like I have 1% of the responsibility.

No…

Looking at their reactions, it feels like I have to take the blame!

After calming down, Lolth finally understood where the problem was.

I really don’t understand how to raise a girl’s favorability rating at all; it seems the same for both positive and negative.

Unfashionable love talk has truly become a "bad joke" in another world, because everyone is talking about it, making it extremely awkward.

But…

First of all, if someone who is already charming talks about unfashionable love talk, the level of awkwardness will greatly decrease.

Lolth’s charm, of course, is not low.

Next…

In this world, nobody has ever spoken of unfashionable love.

The trendiest aristocrats still flirt by writing sonnets.

If you write modern poetry, everyone will think, "That’s too avant-garde."

Puns, twists…

These worn-out things are still the newest trends in this world.

The flower hand gesture is old-fashioned now, but if you could do it in the eighteenth century, you would truly be a dancing genius.

Lolth’s unfashionable love talk in this world is like someone in the new millennium writing a novel about breaking off engagements on a forum, or the first season of Super Girl singing future viral songs, or Hu Shi creating the vernacular movement by using rap…

She stood ahead of the times, ahead by at least three major versions.

Moreover, the reason why cheesy things become cheesy is that their popularity leads to overuse.

So, it must first be popular.

Therefore, unfashionable love talk can have a devastating impact on people’s emotions who have never seen it before!

Lolth, realizing this, was drenched in cold sweat.

She even felt a bit relieved.

Luckily, her first time reading unfashionable love talk was to a virtual girl…

If one day she actually figured out that this was a fun way to increase favorability ratings, and accidentally used it on Isabella or Tina…

That would truly be a disaster.

"Alright, for now, let’s leave it at that."

Lolth felt emotional but decided to let go for a while.

Anyway, the Skill Trial has two rounds.

Let’s see what will happen in the next round of the Skill Trial!

Even if I pass the Skill Trial…

Lolth remembered the next challenge was the "Courage Trial"!

Pretending to be a coward is something Lolth is really good at!

No matter what this challenge brings, Lolth will definitely make it seem like a failure, ensuring she can stop here and go home after the third round!

With this thought, Lolth felt confident again.

Meanwhile, Lalea, the only one present who had not yet attempted the Skill Trial, was instantly teleported to the center of the trial hall.

Lalea crossed her arms and looked at the silver puppet with an unhappy expression.

"Okay, it’s my turn, right? Then let’s see the question."

As she said this, the magical synthesis sound echoed again.

"Lalea, your assessment skill is—"

"Taunt!"

Upon hearing this question, the four onlookers showed their first completely unsurprised expressions.

After all, looking at the questions from all five, only Lalea’s "taunt"…

Clearly showed that she really knows how to do this!
