Protagonist of the cliche plot has a Golden Finger!

After 10 minutes had passed, they finally arrived there.

However, Louis parked his car quite far from the shop.

"Lily, I'll wait here, and make sure to keep a safe distance from him," Louis said as he watched Lily get out of the car.

"All right, Master, just wait here, it might only take a short while," she replied, walking towards the shop.

Xin Yu Shop, huh...

Staring at the shop, Louis saw a man sitting alone near the window, sipping his coffee, with plenty of food and drinks on his table.

Yes, he was alone, as the shop was known to be quiet but luxurious, frequented by businessmen or workers for meetings and discussions about their work.

Physically... Compared to Louis, who had a tall and muscular build, the man was relatively slender.

With a normal face handsome enough for an average man.

Then, I looked at Lily, casually strolling towards the entrance of the shop.

Creak!

After Lily entered, she and the man exchanged glances.

And when Lily seemed to finish a brief conversation with him upon entering, she then took a seat in front of him.

I observed the two of them, seemingly discussing something when suddenly...

Ding!

[Detected that the Host has found a cliche plot in progress!]

Ding!

[Detected that the Protagonist of the cliche plot has a Golden Finger!]

Damn! Hey, why does someone have a Golden Finger?!

Hey, you damn System! Explain this to me!

Louis was very surprised by the unexpected notification!

Golden Finger?! How is this possible? Isn't this plot supposed to fall into the Urban and System categories?!

[Host is advised to calm down!]

'How can I calm down with that Golden Finger! Didn't we agree that we would only disrupt cliché plots from the Romantic category?!'

Louis was truly furious!

Because from the beginning, he only assumed that he would find and seize plots from the romantic genre in this world!

However, suddenly the System said something that left Louis stunned.

[Since when did we agree that the Host would only disrupt cliché plots from the Romantic category?]

When the System said that, Louis immediately froze and tried to remember the moment he agreed to the System's offer.

Damn! This is a scam!

[Don't be pessimistic first, Host.]

Besides, you're not the only one with a Golden Finger in this world.

When Louis heard that statement, he snapped out of his thoughts, and then he asked the System.

'So... Does that mean I'm not a person with a special Golden Finger?'

[Yes, there may be many people who also have a Golden Finger or hidden powers within them.]

'Why didn't you tell me this from the beginning, damn it?' Louis grumbled in his mind.

[Because the main reason is, most likely, you would have rejected the System's offer, so the System decided not to disclose it.]

[With the addition of this genre in your plan, you might also gain benefits when altering a plot!]

'Hahh... It's really unlucky to have a System that can only mock and deceive its owner...'

[I am a System with very high intelligence, so I can think like a normal human!]

The debate actually only lasted for a short while.

In the midst of the debate, Louis finally realized that there would likely be many challenges ahead in the future.

"Well... If it's like this, what can I do?" he muttered resignedly.

He mumbled while looking towards Lily and the man who seemed to be discussing something.

For Louis, the man seemed to lack proper etiquette when eating and talking, from his posture, eating habits, and even when talking while eating.

Well... Maybe he was never taught basic etiquette?

However, the more Louis looked at him in detail, he noticed something strange at the edge of the man's clothes!

What is that...? Damn, it's too small to see!

Something hanging at the edge of his clothes... I feel like I've seen it before?

But what I want to see is too small and too far!

Louis thought while tapping his fingers on the steering wheel of his car.

What is that thing hanging there? I seem to have déjà vu with that item...

Wait... That thing?

'Damn! I forgot!'

Suddenly, Louis quickly searched the bag of the new costume he had just bought. When he thought about the hanging item, he remembered an explanation given by the old man.

After a while of searching, he finally found what he was looking for.

There, he found the spyglass!

'Luckily, I remembered. Previously, the old man told you that items that come as a set with the costume are genuine, which means this spyglass should also be authentic!'

Lifting the spyglass, he exclaimed in his mind.

'Ohh old man... Your prayers have truly been answered!'

Without much thought, Louis immediately aimed the spyglass at the disturbing thing on his mind.

As he focused his gaze on the troubling thing, he finally understood why he felt such a disturbing déjà vu.

Wasn't that the price tag from the new clothes?

The price tag looked very similar to the price tag of the clothes he had just bought, no wonder he felt déjà vu when seeing that price tag.

And why was it still securely attached under his clothes?

Why did the man seem to be trying to hide it, wouldn't it be easier to remove it?

Questions like these raced fiercely through his mind.

Until he reached a conclusion that seemed most likely to him as to why the man did not remove the price tag.

Or perhaps...

Did the man rent those clothes from a shop?

An odd conclusion flashed through his mind, as he seemed to have read a novel with a cliché plot like this.

Maybe the man wasn't someone from a wealthy family or a businessman!

Yes, most likely it would be like that, from the first time I saw his eating habits and basic etiquette, he seemed very lacking in that aspect.

And from his way of speaking and posture, he even seemed like a man who had never been given basic etiquette education typical of China!

After carefully thinking about all these things, Louis came to a conclusion that he thought might be a clue to what would happen next.

"Hahh... Damn..." he sighed while staring at the two of them.

Setting aside all those thoughts, Louis then asked the System about something that had bothered him earlier.

'Hey System, how did I receive the notification about that cliché plot, and how can I activate that notification?'

[Such notifications will activate when the Host observes a cliché plot happening in front of them.]
