QT: the Color of Seduction

Hello Brother

Prologue:

　The scorching sun beat down on the earth, threatening to crack the roads. Few people were seen walking outside in such scorching weather. Even those who needed to leave for business hurried in and out, unwilling to linger in the scorching heat.

　Mu Qingqing slowly and ponderously walked out of the small commodity wholesale market, carrying an oversized black plastic bag. The bag's weight suggested its considerable weight. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead and nose. She casually pulled a tissue from her shorts pocket and sloppily wiped it across her face and neck. She walked to a trash can, tossed the damp tissue in, hefted the large plastic bag, and headed for the bus stop across the street.

　After waiting for about three minutes, the bus arrived. There were only a few people on the bus, some playing with their phones, some dozing off. They took a few more glances at Mu Qingqing's pretty appearance, then went about their own business. Mu Qingqing found a seat and sat down. She breathed softly, took out a tissue, and wiped the sweat off her face. The air conditioning in the car blew, and a refreshing coolness penetrated her whole body. She squinted comfortably. She picked up the water bottle in her bag and took a sip of water. Last night, because it was the weekend, the night market had a lot more people than usual, and her street stall business was much busier than usual, so she closed the stall much later than usual.

　The wholesale market was more than an hour's drive from her residential area. She pinched her sore arms, rubbed the red marks of varying depths left by the bag, closed her eyes, and rested.

　Shortly after she fell asleep, a tanker truck on the road lost control and slammed head-on into the bus. In a flash, a resounding bang filled the air, and a black mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

　Mu Qingqing opened her dazed eyes and surveyed the chaotic, narrow space around her. She rubbed them, but when she opened them, she was still in the same space. She rubbed them again, but the image remained unchanged. She was baffled. She was clearly on the bus, so how could she be here out of nowhere? Where was this place? What was going on? She slowly sat down against the wall, trying to calm herself.

　"Welcome to the dimension of the Ancient God of Love!" A cold voice echoed through the silent space. Mu Qingqing jumped up in shock, looking around in confusion.

　"Who are you? Why am I here?" Mu Qingqing asked in astonishment. Her voice trembled slightly, and that was understandable. Anyone suddenly transported to a completely unfamiliar place, confronted by a sound, would be startled. Mu Qingqing was only 21 years old, so it was remarkable that she didn't burst into tears. When her parents abandoned her at 15 to start their own lives, she knew she had no one to rely on in this world but herself.

　"I'm a divine messenger. This is the ancient dimension of the God of Love, and you're the chosen trialist," the cold, masculine voice replied. "You're here because you're already dead. Your resilience meets the requirements for trialists in this dimension. You should consider yourself lucky, otherwise you'd be unconscious!"

　"I, I'm dead?" Mu Qingqing didn't quite believe it, but the whole experience was so unexpected. Hadn't she just been riding the bus? I just took a nap in the car. How could I die?

　Suddenly, a screen appeared before my eyes. The charred wreckage of two cars lay scattered on the ground. Fire trucks and ambulances were busy nearby, and someone with a microphone was talking incoherently.

　So that's how it was. It was hard to describe the feeling, a bittersweet feeling. Was I going to die just like that? Who would remember me? My classmates? My parents? Mu Qingqing smiled self-deprecatingly. She didn't know if her parents would shed a few fake tears at the news of her death, and she didn't want to know.

　So, let everything fade with her death. Hatred and resentment, that was all a thing of a past life.

　"Then what can I do for you? What can I gain?" Mu Qingqing, ever the most rational, only felt a moment's sadness over her own death before she began to reflect on her current situation. She knew there was no such thing as a free lunch. The divine messenger had saved her, so she must have been useful to him. And since she was useful, she should also receive something in return for her efforts.

　"The Ancient God of Love Dimension was severely damaged during the ancient war. Trialists must travel to various derivative worlds to obtain the affections of those with powerful souls in order to repair it."

　Mu Qingqing frowned. "Do you mean to say I have to seduce all sorts of people?"

　"That's right."

　Mu Qingqing stroked his brow, sighed somewhat helplessly, and asked, "Then what will I gain? How long will it take to repair this dimension? How can I tell if I've won the other person's affection?"

　The divine messenger said indifferently, "I don't know exactly how long it will take, but after the dimension is repaired, I will create a new body for you and place you in the world you desire."

　"What if I fail?"

　"Then you will enter the world of punishment," the divine messenger replied impatiently. "Alright, stop rambling. To help the trialists better complete their tasks, I've digitized all your information. Take a look at your basic attributes first." With that, a series of attribute data appeared on the large screen in front of Mu Qingqing.

　Trialist's Name: Mu Qingqing;

　Gender: Female;

　Age: 21

　; Appearance: 69 (100 Attributes at Full Attributes);

　Charm: 68 (100 Attributes at Full Attributes)

　; Strength: 48 (100 Attributes at Full Attributes ); Agility:

　35 (100 Attributes at Full Attributes)

　; Wisdom: 58 (100 Attributes at Full

　Attributes); Bones: 41 (100 Attributes at Full Attributes)

　; Specialty: Hardship and Endurance

　. When Mu Qingqing saw that her specialty was hardship and endurance, her lips twitched. She was forced to do so by life, wasn't she willing to endure hardship and endurance? Well, if that counts as a specialty. Just as she was mentally groaning, the divine messenger's voice echoed in her ears again: "Since you're a novice, I'll allocate a tiny bit of my power to give you five potential points. I hope you complete the task well. When the space receives the true heart of a person with powerful soul power, I'll inform you that you've completed the task. As you complete certain tasks, my abilities will be enhanced, and I'll reward you accordingly."

　Mu Qingqing figured that since she was going to seduce a man, beauty was essential. She added three points to her Appearance, then a few to her Wisdom and Strength. Her attributes were now:

　Appearance: 72 (100 full attributes)

　, Charm: 68 (100 full attributes) ,

　Strength: 49 (100 full attributes),

　Agility: 35 (100 full attributes),

　Wisdom: 59 (100 full attributes),

　Bones: 41 (100 full attributes).

　"Are you ready?" the divine messenger asked.

　"Alright, let's begin!" Although a little nervous, Mu Qingqing decided to begin anyway. She also wanted to repair the space quickly so she could better control her body.
