"Checking Others' Barometer"

"Yes, you can check them, quack!" Yaya answered casually. 

Lai Jiayi couldn't help but ask 

"So, how does a player check other players' barometer?" 

'If others can see my progress, then I should also check other players' progress! That way, I can keep an eye on a potential threat.' 

Yaya lifted his chin lazily as he answered Lai Jiayi, who was finally interested in competing with other players, 

"You just need to pay 10 points to check others' barometer, quack! Cheap, right, quack?" 

'Cheap indeed as it has the same price as when the players check their love barometer progress.' 

"Okay, I still have 70 points...I want to test this out." Lai Jiayi rubbed her chin curiously as a light flashed through her eyes. 

'I should use this opportunity to check those two's barometer!' 

"Sure sure, quack, but remember, you can only check the barometer of those players you have met face-to-face," 

Yaya reminded Lai Jiayi before he continued to ask her, "So which player do you want to check now, quack?" 

"I have only met four players so far…" she mumbled while furrowing her eyebrows. 

'If that's the case, I should hurry and try to find them! Well, for now…' 

"Check the driver's barometer first." Lai Jiayi was too lazy to say Chu Feng's name. 

Yaya nodded and immediately deducted Lai Jiayi's point. At the same time, a notification from the game appeared on Lai Jiayi's phone. 

DING! [Checking barometer, deducting 10 points. Total points left: 60 points.] 

"Alright now, you can check her barometer, " Lai Jiayi told Yaya once she confirmed her points had been deducted. 

'Well, I'm curious how Yaya can check others' barometer.' 

"Wait, quack, I'm going to connect my system to the porcupine AI first, quack." 

Yaya closed his eyes, and his body slowly glowed in yellow light. The AI started to access the porcupine AI's system to get the love barometer data. 

"Can you access other information other than the barometer?" Lai Jiayi suddenly asked. 

"I can, quack, but only if you buy the information sold at the game shop, quack." Yaya still closed his eyes. 

"Ah, I see, I see." 

"The information sold won't be complete, so you have to choose wisely, quack, " he added. 

"Alright, get it." Lai Jiayi nodded. 

After a few seconds, Yaya's body dimmed, and the AI immediately told Lai Jiayi in his high-pitched baby-like voice, 

"I get it, quack! Chu Feng's love barometer is at 2%, quack!" 

'The same as your barometer.' Yaya secretly thought. 

"2%? Wow, not bad…" Lai Jiayi bit her lower lips feeling a bit nervous once she knew this. 

'I don't know how many percentages I got now, but it should be at 3 or 4%, right?' 

Lai Jiayi bit her nail. 

'Ughh, I can't check yet...I have to save these points so I can check others' barometer.' 

"This driver is quite skillful, quack, but actually she raised her affection meter thanks to us, you know?" Yaya suddenly sighed, recalling the barometer history he saw. 

"Eh, how do you know?" 

"There's a history to each up and down in the barometer, quack," Yaya replied. 

"I see– wait. What do you mean we help her? We didn't do anything, ah?" Lai Jiayi tilted her head in confusion. 

'How can I help that girl without knowing? That's absurd.' 

Yaya shook his head and said in a rather regretful tone, 

"We make Zhao Yang come late to the office, and Chu Feng displays her driving skill, quack, sending Zhao Yang to his office faster by 10 minutes, quack!" 

"Wait. What?? Because of that??" 

"Yes, quack, and I think Zhao Yang thanked Chu Feng for what she did, quack!" 

Upon hearing this, Lai Jiayi had the urge to bang her head to the table. 

'So what I did actually indirectly helped this wild girl? Ahhhh, what bad luck!' the girl screamed in her heart. 

"Anyway, it's okay, quack. We can raise it again soon, quack. So, you still have 60 points left, quack, want to check that kung-fu girl, quack?" 

Yaya tried to divert the conversation. 

"Mn, check her as well." Lai Jiayi sighed as she slumped on her chair. 

'Let's just see if Ji Zhuang also got a high barometer.' 

"Quackey, wait a minute, quack." Yaya deducted Lai Jiayi's points again, leaving only 50 points behind. 

After the same notification rang inside Lai Jiayi's mind, Yaya checked Ji Zhuang's barometer. 

A second later, he opened his eyes and wore a dark expression on his face. 

"Hmmm guess how much that kungfu-girl got, quack?" He sounded so mysterious and didn't say it straight to the point, provoking Lai Jiayi. 

"What the? Just say it now, ah! Don't act so mysterious…" Lai Jiayi frowned, somehow feeling tense as Yaya teased her. 

'Could it be Ji Zhuang got a barometer percentage of around 3-4%?' 

Lai Jiayi's eyes widened. 

This...won't it be bad then??
