Chapter 2456: Favorability From Angelina
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mag simply thought and the paper flying sword flew out of the window through a three centimeters gap. It shot straight into the sky.
Mag saw a message when he went out for breakfast. A base station on the Twin Towers was damaged this morning and the Justice Investigation Bureau had already sealed the scene. Apparently, it was damaged by some sharp weapons.
Mag turned off his bangle, feeling very satisfied with this result.
However, Mag wasn’t very comfortable with the restaurant’s staff members’ attention on him. Moreover, this attention had far exceeded the one given to the top four contestants. Some maidens were even looking at him with glowing eyes.
“May I share a table with you?” A gentle voice interrupted Mag’s train of thoughts.
!!
Mag looked up and saw that it was Angelina who was carrying a tray.
He looked around the restaurant. The contestants’ restaurant was separated from the Mocha Group’s employees’ cafeteria. As the competition progressed, there were only four of them in the restaurant now.
Other than Iman, who was having his meal next to the window alone, and Padas, who was in the fourth position, there were still dozens of tables which she could eat on.
“I’m not used to eating alone.” Angelina seemed to have sensed Mag’s befuddlement and showed a gentle smile.
What the heck about not being used to eating alone? What about sleeping alone? Mag nodded slightly and said, “Up to you.”

“I’m Angelina.” Angelina put down her tray and sat across from Mag and smilingly said, “Pleasure to make your acquaintance.”
Mag only nodded coldly before he continued to eat his breakfast.
His impression of Angelina was limited. He had read about her in the contestants’ info before. Her persona in the show was an aloof goddess.
An aloof goddess would have many fans. That was understandable.
However, he was the pretty boy who was kept by a rich woman right now. He couldn’t flirt as he wished, especially in public. He still had that kept pretty boy’s understanding.

Furthermore, he had no idea what he had to do for his mission later on. He could leave any time, but any interactions with others could push them into the abyss.
Mag’s cold response didn’t affect Angelina’s enthusiasm at all. She wasn’t in a hurry to eat. She leaned forward and stared at Mag with the same gleam in her eyes as the other two lady servers. She said excitedly in a low voice, “Did you see the video clip yesterday? Justice has indeed prevailed!”
Mag stopped moving his hands and looked at Angelina, who was excited and full of admiration. He thought, what kind of aloof goddess was she? Even the middle-aged lady canteen server, who gave him an extra chicken drumstick, was more demure than her.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.” Mag’s answer was still cold. At the same time, he was about to pick up his tray and leave. This breakfast was horrible.
Angelina didn’t seem to mind Mag’s deliberate aloofness as she suddenly said in realization, “Seems like you didn’t see yesterday’s clip? That monster Horace whom you posted on WeTwit, was judged by someone called “The Adjudicator” live yesterday. He was stabbed 363 times, one strike for each victim.
“It’s you who brought everyone’s attention to this matter. You played a great part in this justice that was served late. You’re indeed a righteous person.”
Mag looked at the maiden who was agitated and had a gleam in her eyes. Had he met a fan in real life? When did he become an idol?
“Favorability from Angelina: 92!”
Mag was simply looking at Angelina’s favorability out of curiosity, yet he was shocked.
This was a favorability that had far exceeded that between a couple or a spouse. The favorability’s peak between a couple was usually during the love bubble. Even farting would be deemed as an adorable action. However, the favorability would rarely exceed 95.
And after the love bubble was over, life would return to normal and they would discover some faults with each other. They would realize that the other party was different from the perfect partner in their imagination. The favorability would decrease then. After marriage, even breathing was wrong.
They only competed on the same stage yesterday. They were strangers who didn’t have any interaction before that, so her sudden intense favorability had caught him unawares.
“I simply did what I should do.” Mag stood up with the tray. “I’m done eating. Please take your time.”
Such favorability made Mag a little scared. Was this the legendary groupie?
When he was returning the tray, Mag flicked a glance at the lady servers, who had been peeking at him. Their respective favorability ratings were 84 and 86. They were far less scary than Angelina’s favorability.
“Weird?” Mag left the restaurant with befuddlement. It seemed that Angelina was indeed a little fanatical. He’d better be careful around her.
Angelina stared at Mag’s back with a blush as she bit her lower lip and said, “Mr. Hades is indeed a gentle and polite person.”
Mag’s extraordinary hearing caught that sentence clearly as he walked out of the restaurant.
Mag: “?”
An exceedingly high favorability did indeed beautify every single behavior.
“Why did these two suddenly get so close? Perhaps, it’s the programming division’s new script? Didn’t she refuse to form a couple with me previously? She even said she didn’t want to date in the show, even when it was fake.” Iman bit into his pancake with a perplexed expression.
***
Mag had already realized that yesterday’s event had greatly increased his favorability from the ordinary folks, including the males.
People couldn’t find “The Adjudicator”, so as the trigger, he naturally took over the popularity.
I took over my own popularity. There’s no problem with that at all.
After breakfast, Mag went to the contestants’ lounge to wait for the make up to be done and to do some prep before the competition.
Although Mag was a straight guy and was annoyed when things were applied to his face, this was a program after all. Hence, he should do his part and not make things difficult for the staff members.
“Your skin is so good. You just need a little touch-up for the cameras.” The maiden who did Mag’s makeup, was blushing the whole time. She even praised him for his great skin.
“Thank you,” Mag smilingly replied and watched her favorability increase from 80 to 88, which was very ridiculous.
After doing the makeup, the makeup artist put away her tools and gingerly asked, “May I take a picture with you?”
“Sure.” Mag nodded.
The makeup artist immediately lifted up her bangle and set it to the selfie mode. She got closer to Mag carefully and quickly finished taking the selfie before saying to Mag with a blush, “Thank you, Sir.”
“I appreciate your help.” Mag nodded slightly. His bangle vibrated and Mag glanced at it. It was a message from the programming division. It was about today’s competition’s rules.
“Please go ahead, Sir.” The makeup artist left with her stuff happily.
Mag clicked on the message and he revealed a shocked expression.
