Chapter 413: – Optional Task
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
Lin Jin screamed in frustration and slammed the mouse down onto the desk.
"Lin Jin, what's wrong?" Her dad heard the noise in her bedroom and thought something had happened. He rushed to the door and loudly knocked "What happened? Is something wrong?!"
"Nothing!"
Lin Jin was extremely annoyed at that moment and angrily replied. She then stood up and threw herself onto the bed.
It was so annoying! Why was video editing such a pain?! It was fine if the videos at least turned out good, but the problem was that the videos she made looked extremely bad. It was downright unwatchable.
She had already looked for professional tutorials online and also read through things to watch out for while editing, but the resulting videos were still an eyesore, far from what she had hoped for.
"Black cat! I want video editing mastery!" Lin Jin stared at the ceiling and spoke as if talking to herself.
Her phone vibrated, and then the black cat’s voice came from it: "I thought about it for a while, I feel it’s doable! No problem."
"Huh?"
"Tonight, please go to Xia Tian’s place and then get him to teach you." The black cat’s voice was full of indifference.
Lin Jin raised an eyebrow: "If I could learn video editing just like that, what would we still need editors for?"
"So that’s exactly why~ This is a task" Black Cat replied.
Lin Jin picked up her phone and looked at the black cat on the screen. The corners of the black cat’s mouth were slightly raised, looking like an evil villain.
"So you have to get him to teach you for two hours~" Black cat chuckled. "This is an optional task, you can choose to do it or not."
"Oh right, there’s more, it's not just about him teaching you for two hours~ You also need to let him touch your thigh for ten minutes~" The black cat’s tone was extremely lewd. Its expression was also really perverted, obviously it just wanted to see that scene "And also! It must be bare skin!"
Black cat, you’re trying to cause trouble, right?
Lin Jin’s mouth twitched.
She looked at the new task that popped up on her phone screen, with options to accept or decline in the bottom right corner.
She stared hesitantly at this task. The description was:
Since you've run into trouble with your video editing, you need to go to Xia Tian's rental house and ask him to teach you how to do the video’s post production for two hours. During those two hours, you also have to let him touch your thigh for ten minutes~
Task Reward: Basic Video Editing Mastery Task Penalty: None.
Damn, getting Xia Tian to teach her how to do the post production might not be that difficult, but the problem was letting him touch her thigh…
The black cat just wanted to stir up trouble, right?! This whole act of letting someone touch their thigh was basically hinting at sex, right?! What if Xia Tian got the wrong idea and though she wanted to sleep with him, what then?
"Well?" The black cat looked at Lin Jin with a grin on its face.
Lin Jin looked conflicted, but after thinking it over carefully, she realized the task didn’t have any punishment. In other words, after accepting the task, if something goes wrong, she could just immediately give up the task without any consequences, right?
Plus, she really needed to improve her video editing skills. Right now, not only was her work slow, but the videos she made were also terrible. If this continued, would she really have to pay someone else to do it?
"Alright, I accept." Lin Jin sighed and tapped the accept on the phone screen.
Then she glanced at the time and saw that it was already past six. If Xia Tian wasn’t working overtime, he should be finished with work by now.
She called Xia Tian, and not long after, the call was answered. Xia Tian’s tone was as cold as ever.
"Hello, Lin Jin. What's up?"
"Are you off work yet?" Lin Jin always got straight to the point when talking to friends, this time was no different. "I want you to teach me how to edit videos."
"Video editing?"
"Yeah. After you left, I could only do it myself. But my school just started teaching this stuff and I don’t usually pay attention in class." Lin Jin shrugged. "So I can only get you to teach me. It doesn’t have to be anything advanced, just enough so the stuff I make doesn’t look out of place."
"Sure, I’m on the bus right now. At seven, come bring your laptop over to my place."
Xia Tian agreed very easily.
But then Lin Jin suddenly remembered that when she first met Xia Tian, wasn’t it because she took his rideshare?
"What about your car?" Lin Jin asked curiously.
"I sent it back home. I’m too lazy to bring it over again." Xia Tian’s side had a lot of background noise. "Alright, I’m on the bus, it’s too noisy. If there’s anything else, tell me at seven."
"Okay."
With that issue settled, Lin Jin’s mood finally improved a bit. It must be stated that it was already Thursday and there were less than two days left to complete the task. Given how difficult video editing was, if she didn’t start soon, it might be too late.
Lin Jin’s dad was still anxiously outside her door, waiting for her to come out. He was still worried that something might have happened to her.
However, when Lin Jin finally came out, he noticed that her daughter had no injuries and no messy hair, looking as if nothing had happened at all.
“What’s wrong?” Her dad asked with concern.
“Just some annoying stuff, it’s sorted out now" Lin Jin raised her head and looked at him “You don’t need to worry about me so much. Focus on yourself. How’s your business going?”
“It’s alright. I just went out and bought stuff a couple days ago. Tonight, I’ll go out and set up a stall.” Her dad said with a serious expression “I noticed that the area near your school gate seems like a good spot. There’s a lot of foot traffic.”
Wasn’t that obvious? Which school’s gate didn’t have a lot of traffic?
And when you said business, it just meant setting up a stall?
Lin Jin didn’t really know what to say about her dad.
“I have something to do tonight. I’ll probably be back around ten" Lin Jin walked over to the coffee table and poured herself a cup of warm water. She then sat down on the sofa with her legs crossed “I’m heading out in a bit.”
"Then I'm off to set up the stall." Her dad nodded, then walked into his bedroom. He came out carrying a huge sack over his shoulder. "I'm heading out now."
"Go ahead."
Just don't get chased off by the security…
What school now would allow people to set up stalls right by the school gate?
After her dad left, Lin Jin sat on the sofa and played on her phone for about half an hour. She calculated the time and figured if she left now, she’d arrive at Xia Tian’s place right around seven.
So she immediately packed her things, grabbed her laptop, put her stun gun into her bag, and walked out the door.
Then she slowly backed up and returned through the door again.
She looked down at her capri pants, not sure what to say.
Since the black cat said Xia Tian had to touch her bare thighs, she couldn’t exactly wear these pants and then come up with an excuse to take them off after arriving, right?
So, she had no choice but to change into a miniskirt...
