I suddenly miss the "feeding stray cats outing" of the four of them and the trips to the convince store shopping for snacks. I just miss them goofing off and hanging out for days. Good times
I'm also a bit confused but I'll share what I'm making sense of.
The system has a loophole. It was discussed when mc first met Bai Mo (his friend). As long as you deliver the lines and scenes of the villain, and the story follows the general plot (eg. the villain which is a disciple of the ml (he's still officially a disciple), bullies the protagonist which just arrived in the sect), the system will recognize that as a pass and they earn points, thereby completing the mission. The system doesn't recognize even if you change your tone or the meaning of lines changed, as long as you stick to the lines. It doesn't matter if the original intention or plot deviates, as long as the scenes and overall plot moves forward, the mission gets a pass. That's why even the wig makes a huge difference, since it can't recognize the mc as the villain, so he's free to do anything as long as he wears it.
That's what they are currently doing, the scene "the villain bullies the protagonist", they are finishing the scenes so they complete the mission faster. Especially since the ml isn't the protagonist this time, so they can progress even if he's not in the "know". That's all.
Everyone seems to be stepping over the line, damn. Let the man fulfill his goal for once.
