The journey of a demon through this world of Cultivation and Magic.

in a school where there the first five people on the position list get a scholarship to the same college and the other five,another college,a group of teens came together to create a hidden reading group. reading day and night to be the best. will they be able to win even with the challenges they face?

After a dreamless night, Flora woke up in a good mood.
The sun was shining on her bed, the air smelled of grass and needles, and the sounds of servo motors filled the clearing. Perfect!
She opened her stats and did a quick scan. The attributes rose slowly but steady, except the perceptions. They both made a big jump.
Magical Push came along nicely because of the coffin training, and Refresh had broken through the level 100 milestone.
Mechanics, Electronics, and Hacking won in the category abilities.
In the inventory tab, she could look at her balance. The 500 000 VirDias from CentralTank had arrived. 
Flora guessed that they came together with the workshop improvements, but she had missed it due to her excitement.
"It's time to move into a nicer lair, dears." Flora opened the real estate market. "I want an industrial area, with smoking chimneys, factories, or maybe a powerplant in the vicinity. Do I have to consider infrastructure, Aidan? Probably not, with the inventory, magical mailboxes, and teleportation circles."
"Transportation per air is common for parts bigger than 3x3x3m, Milady. These dimensions limit not only inventory space but also the mailbox. Furthermore, you can only beam with connected pets or what you carry. The aircraft, mostly megacopters, need no infrastructure."
Flora shrugged and selected the Rhine River Plain as the preferred region. They had the best weather in Germany.
Unexpectantly, Flora had difficulties in finding an industrialized area. Most towns in the real world had an industrial park, but in the Metaworld, they were missing. 
Flora tried Mannheim and Ludwigshafen, where the BASF, Rosch, ABB, and Mercedes Benz had local branches, but she only found vanity buildings and no factories.
Finally, she discovered a big building with some chimneys on an elevated plateau with a view on the Rhine. She zoomed in and read 'Bakery Gottfriedl'. 
"This is fate! Hello to my new neighbors! I hope you produce good bread!" 
Like she had planned before, she designed a two-story building with a flat roof for a garden. The ground floor had the dimensions 25x50x5m and was for crafting. She partitioned the first floor into the living quarters and 1/4 into a room for the shop and 1/8 for the teleportation circle. 
Then she beamed to the area, using the circle of the bakery as an anchor point. 
When she arrived, a young woman came her way.
"Hello, dear. Are you working in the bakery?"
"Hi. Yes, actually, I own the bakery. Do you want to buy something? I was just on my way, but I have a few minutes."
"Not yet. I'm Flowing Flowers, your new neighbor. You can call me Auntie Flow. I plan to buy this part of the land." Flora pointed to her favorite spot. "Is this alright with you? If you have planned any expansion in this direction, I can go a bit further away."
"No, no, feel free. Welcome to the neighborhood. I'm Momo."
They shook hands and chatted a bit about the weather and floods, but didn't hit on essential subjects like toast. Flora wanted to have a taste first before she decided to do further business with Momo.  
After they parted, Flora surveyed the area. She was a strong believer of eyeballing things before purchase. Pictures on the internet couldn't convey some aspects of reality.
By and large, Flora was delighted with her choice and leased the land. Immediately, she started the automated construction of her building. Maybe it would be cheaper to hire people, but Flora didn't have the patience. The system would complete the building in 12 hours.

When she came home, a letter awaited her.
Dear Flowing Flowers,
[polite blabla]
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to lower the rating of the AI E21 from A to C.
We thank you for your cooperation.
[polite blabla]
Regards,
Idillicheskaya Besedka
Flora had seen enough bullshit in her life to recognize it. This letter stank of politics.
"Aitoshuri, I advise you to stay with me. Whatever happened at Idilly's side doesn't look good. I don't want you to bear the brunt of it."
After connecting Aitoshuri to the Hungry Chest, Flora asked her again if she wanted to stay with her, but Aitoshuri still needed more time.
Aidan informed her about the capabilities of a C-rated AI. They could control two devices, and when you bought it in the shop, you could select one character trait. Also, he explained that the growth of their abilities depended on their rating.
"You have to train harder, sweety. It's double hard for an ex-genius to accept that, but believe me, it is worth it. Take me, for example, I outworked a lot of geniuses, and now that I'm old and slower, I have to work even harder. But I learned how to work hard, and I learned to use whatever meager processing power my brain provides me to the max."
"Yes, Milady!" Aidan exclaimed, but Aitoshuri signaled that she needed more processing time again.
"That's the spirit, Aitoshuri! Take the time to think it over. I've known people that can do calculations in their heads in seconds for which I need 5 minutes, a pencil, and probably my fingers. But we will take those five minutes! And the pencil! And the fingers! Or, in your case, grapplers! And the next time, we might only need 4:30 minutes!" 
Aitoshiro rotated her arms.
"Of course, it is complicated! Break it down in simpler parts and quantify them.
For example, 1 Point if it is a bit relevant, 2 points if it's important, and 3 if it is essential.
I tell you my calculation for wanting you to stay.
Pro:
- An intuition that Aitoshuri is relevant: 3 Points
- Idilly owns me a favor: 2 Points
- Hidden capabilities of a possibly S or higher ranked AI: 3 Points
- Interesting personality: 1 Point
- Study example for odd AI's: 2 Points
Contra:
- Limited communication: - 3 Points, but with potential to be resolved, so I count only - 1,5 points
- Lower controlled devices per AI nock rate: - 1 Point
- Higher maintenance because of potential psychological issues: - 2 Points
- Lower growth: - 3 Points
=> 11 Pro-Points - 7,5 Contra-Points = 3,5 Points
You have to contrast it with the pro and contra of going back. I don't have to compare it with buying another AI because I have special jacks. That will be only relevant if I had five AI's, and you or a normal AI would be the 6th.  
Do you have any questions you need for your list regarding our future collaboration?"
Airoshuri signaled 'Yes'.
"Alright, try to convey the question!"
Immediately, the grapplers of the hungry chest drew an arc in the air reaching from Flora's right to her left. The beginning and end were on the floor.
"Rainbow! You are gay and want to know if I'm okay with it!"
No!
"Oh, I love Charades! Aidan, you guess as well, and the one who wins gets ..., hmm, do you want anything, Aidan?"
"No, Milady! But I can't invest enough processing power in the research tasks at night, because I'm used to capacity with managing your HUD, your options, and the devices. Maybe you could delegate some of my tasks to Aitoshuri?"
"Oh, dear! You have to tell me such things! The question wouldn't occur to me, because I do not know you even had limits besides the device amount!
Let's count:
- Manabattery
- Trainingscoffin
- Potion Guzzler
- Hacking
- Driving Robot Training
- Managing friendly fire / Balancing my pool-stats
- Researching...? What? Yes, the classes!
Only five of them are devices."
"Yes, Milady. That is the only reason you haven't gotten error messages. But I'm designed to manage seven tasks simultaneously. The seventh is communicating with the owner. For extra jobs, I have to order more processing power from the System. Its patience is wearing thin, and it admonished me to allocate my resources better. 
Furthermore, such complicated devices as the training coffin and hacking would count double as combat devices. You found another exploit by designing and buying gizmos explicitly for training and non-combat use. 
Another exploit is the use of the simulation ground. I shared the connections with all three Floras but had only my standard processing power. The slaying of the armadillos was definitely combatting, but the Mirror-Flora only had two devices for me to control, the mana battery and the Blade-Roller-Extreme. Therefore no error message appeared. Nonetheless, I had to overclock."  
"Oh, poor dear! I'm sorry! What device do you suggest to give Aitoshuri?"
"The mana-battery, Milady."
"I thought the same. It is nearly always in use and gets always doubled when I enter the simulation. Is this okay with you as well, Aitoshuri?"
She nodded slowly.
"But back to our game. Do you have any other wishes, Aidan? And I mean a prize and not something that goes without saying!"
"No, Milady."
"Okay, whoever wins can choose items from the marketplace or AH in the value of 100 VirDos. Aitoshuri wins when one of us guesses right in the next 15 minutes. It's your turn to guess, Aidan."
"Bridge?"
No.
"An architectural element like a window or door arc?"
No.
"A bow?"
No.
"We have to narrow it down! Is it something you want to do while being with me?"
Strong Yes.
"Something that can be done now in this room?"
Weak Yes.
"Something that you can do while I'm asleep?"
Yes.
"Do you want to use a device?"
Yes.
"Oh, we are close! Is it a device in my possession?"
Strong Yes.
"I know it! But it's your turn, Aidan."
"Was it on the list above?"
No.
"You didn't throw the towel to please me, right, Aidan?"
Aidan coughed.
"I decided that you have to guess again, Aidan!"
"It's the pageturner."
Strong Yes.
Flora clapped, but added another question: "Do you want to read a specific book?"
No.
"You just like reading?"
Strong Yes.
"No problem. I can't promise you every night, because I need the mana, but half of the time would be okay. Oh, if I sleep in the simulation, I've got mana to spare! We'll work something out."
Aitoshiru waved her arms in an A-shape with both grapplers starting from the tip.
Flora noticed that an A is a reverse V, and the opposite from 'I don't know' is ...
"You decided whether you want to stay with me?"
Yes!
"Do you want to?"
Yes!
Flora clapped her hands in delight. 
"Excellent! Both of you sent me the links to the prizes you want. And I have an octopus to design!"
Before Flora even finished the sentence, books appeared on her hud. Flora was appalled, not only from the sheer amount of books but also from the titles: "Stormy Passion", "Conquering his dead heart with Gentleness", "Spacepirate Sandy's Sasquatch", "Reaching for the Stars below the Belt" ...
The list didn't seem to end.
"Wow, you really know how to stretch 100 VirDos, sweety. Order them."
"Milady, Aitoshuri will select my prize as well."
"Um, if you're sure." After seeing her list, Flora wouldn't delegate the task to Aitoshuri. 
But she reversed this judgment when she saw the books for Aidan. Aitoshuri did an excellent job emulating his taste and giving him the knowledge to serve her better: 
'Time management 101' - for managing his processing time? Or her schedule? 
'How to Destroy to Create' - a book on testing! Great choice.
'Product Lifecycle Management' - The versioning in the Cetviwos crafting system was nonexisting. Books about PLM usually had a chapter on this and testing. Alone for helping her with establishing a versioning-system, it would be worthy of reading.
'Virtual Threads - the Guide to Multitasking' - Flora wanted to read it as well!
'Spread the Jamming on Marmalades - Bible of Parfaits' - Toast!
'Communication in Diverse Teams' - Flora laughed.
Although Aidan's list only contained six books because they were more expensive than trashy romance and sci-fi novels, they sounded expedient beyond their price.
When Flora emptied her mailbox of all the books, she needed three 80 liter sacks and all her strength to carry them. Fortunately, the inventory existed. Hers was still overcrowded from the last scenario, so she emptied a few slots by tetrising the contents into the already full Hungry Chest.

Before logging back into the workshop, she changed the auto-mode spell training to Force-Field. She liked the utility of the skill. Yesterday, she had tried to coat her plasma sword with it like Mnoder did, but failed. Aidan thought that she needed to get the spell to level 100 before she could cast it on other persons or objects.
"Milady, the shield works against radiation. So I'll need the poisons of the Potions-Guzzler to lower your health."
Flora rolled her eyes. The affinities weren't scientific. She had problems with distinguishing Light Affinity/ Radiation Resistance, Fire Affinity/ Heat and Burn Resistance and Lightning Affinity / Shock Resistance.
Light was a heatwave, while radiation was a particle-wave. Therefore heat resistance would be a much better fit for the light affinity! And you could burn someone to crisps with lightning and plasma swords. 
A plasma sword was technically burning gas but still counted towards lightning and not fire!
Flora shrugged. She couldn't change it and had to work with it.

After Flora Fluss burns down the kitchen, her son insists she is too old to live alone. She's got two choices. Either move into a retirement home or spend the rest of her life within a virtual reality game governed by society's most advanced artificial intelligence. When you've worked a lifetime as an engineer for home appliances, naturally, you go with the option that has more toasters. 
Soon, Flora finds out that the virtual world is more familiar than she thought. Though, it takes her a while to get used to the idea that tanks don't hold water or oil but the aggro of mobs.  

Auntie toasts the VRMMORPG contains cute crafting, complicated game-mechanics plus how to exploit them, unconventional training methods, and a lot of toasters.

It's been three weeks since I bought my new house and Grace has been coming over fairly often to help me with the crops in the space.

It took a while but with Grace's help we increased the size of our gardens in the space and we can know grow 20 pounds of watermelon and 15 pounds of carrots even seven days and while we increased the turnips output to 30 pounds every 5 days unfortunately the only super crop that we got is another turnip. Not going to lie it was pretty hard work mostly because I had to do all the planting myself, I'm really hoping that I can find a gardener for the space or better yet upgrade the Space and hope that I will become semi-automatic like Zhao Hai's Space. 

We discovered after some trial and error that if you water the crops at least once a day it increases the chance of growing superior crops.

Why might you ask have we not bought anything from the Shop yet well that's because we have absolutely zero system points which mean there was nothing we can buy from the store even if we want to. It took a while but we found a way to earn points by selling crops to the Shop. I have to say at this point I'm starting to think the Space is my best ability as it has given the most befits so far and it's at its still at lowest level. It's like the Space ability was tailor made to go along with the Shop. 
Before long, it starts to get late so I see Grace off for the day. When she leaves, I go back into the space and sell off all of the superior crops and most regular crops minus what I use when cooking. After selling all the crops I look at how many system points we managed to get these past weeks and see we managed to get a grand total of 3657 system points. As it turns out superior crops sell for a lot of more than regular crops. Opening up the Shop I look through the categories. 

|----------
 -> Equipment
 -> Items
 -> Abilities
 -> Skills
 -> Bloodlines
 -> System Upgrades
----------|

Thinking about what I need the most right now I move my way to the skills tab and open it. Going down the list finally I find the skill I wanted.

|----------
Martial Arts (Cost: 3500 System Points)
Level: 1
Exp: 0.0%
Rarity: Uncommon
Description: Increases the learning speed and proficiency of all combat styles. Learning speed increased is proportional to the skills level and rarity.
----------|

With this skill I'll get an increase when I learn just about any fighting style that uses either fist, kicks, holds, or cold weapons. While each martial art has its own skill, I decided that it would be better to buy the all in one version of the skill instead of buying each martial art separately.

After buying the skill, I close the store and open the Status Menu.

|----------
Name: Ash Harper
Title: None
Job: None
Level: 8
Exp: 91%
HP: 60/60
MP: 0
Strength: 10 (8)
Endurance: 8 (5)
Agility: 8 (7)
Dexterity: 7
Intelligence: 12 (10)
Wisdom: 10 (9)
Luck: 13
Stat Points: 18
Ability Points: 1
System Points: 156
Cash: $442 Thousand
Skills
      - Observe LV 23 (1352/4600)
      - Martial Arts LV 1 (1/10)
Abilities
- Space LV 1 (0/10)
- Library LV 1 (0/10)
----------|

Looking over the Status Menu I'm happy to find out that its final looks like my stats are starting to build. Looks like the field work in the space has increased most of my physical stats while I'm guessing reading books in the school library and the puzzle app on my phone has increased my mental stats. With the new Martial Arts skill as long as I work hard my physical stats should increase drastically. 

Testing out my new skill I recall some of the stances I read in the library about Krav Maga. Krav Maga is a military self-defense and fighting style focusing on offense that's basic principles are to hit hard and hit fast, target vulnerable areas of the body, use any objects at hand to your advantage, and maintain awareness of the surroundings even when victory is at hand.

When I was looking into different fighting styles Krav Maga stood out the most for offensive fighting styles while Tai Chi stuck out in the defensive fighting style category for its ability to use the opponent's own strength against them.

My plan is to learn both of these two martial arts and try to combine them. To be honest I kind of thinking that I should level up the Library ability rather than the Space ability first. Just on the off chance that I unlock the compile or flaw detection ability that Zhang Xuan library has.
After two hours of intense training pass, I get notification. Pausing my training session, I stop to read the notification.

|----------
For pushing your bodies limits +1 Endurance.
----------|

Before long I finish reading the notification, I decided to check up on the gardens before leaving the pace.

 When I leave Space, I make my way to the shower because to be honest I feel gross I think I need to invest in a cleaning skill or lifestyle magic if I ever get any MP.

Once I'm out of the shower and changed I make myself something to eat while I look through the Shop and start to make a shopping list for when I have enough system points. By the time I finish eating I already have a list of things from the Shop that I think are essential. The first item is a Pack of Skill Transfer Cards.

|----------
Item: Pack of Skill Transfer Cards (20,000 System Points)
Rarity: Ultra Rare
Description: Cards can only be used to transfer a skill form one user to another by two consenting parties. After all participating users placing a drop of blood on the card users can state the skill that they would like to transfer to the other user.
----------|

If I get these cards, I can buy skills from the shop and then transfer those skills to Grace. The second thing on my shopping list is the ability Void End which the protagonist Han Lang used in the Galactic Dark Net series that allowed him to cancel all powers within a certain range of himself. Because Han Lang ability canceled out everyone's powers, he had to tempered his physical body to its peak so that instead of a battle of powers that were common in this universe it turned into a battle of strength, durability, and skill instead.

|----------
Ability: Void End (Galactic Dark Net) (1,000,000 System Points) 
Rarity: Legendary
Description: Cancels all abilities and magic within 1.5 ft of the user.
----------|

Lastly the ability I picked the ability Complete Curse Resistance as could be used to protect myself from some attacks I don't see coming.

|----------
Ability: Complete Curse Resistance (750,000 System Points)
Rarity: Epic
Description: Users with this ability are resistant to all curses.
----------|

After going through the shop these three items and abilities are the ones that seem to have the most value to my current self. 

While I can't be completely sure I'm almost one hundred percent positive that the supernatural is real. The longer I thought about it the more it made sense if my mom could get such amazing items even if others don't have a system like I do I'm sure that they could have items at the legendary rank.

What happens when you obtain a book that grants you a system and allows you to travel through different worlds?

While Ruru was sipping her choco mango shake...

" What are you reading? "

Ra asked her with a calm voice while he positioned himself to sit at the opposite edge of the sofa-- facing her wholly.

" Aren't you going to work? You are already late, husband? "


" Oh so you are reading the book aren't you going to wo---- "

Ra stopped his teasing as the woman looks at him with sharp eyes.

" Chill-- I do not have work today. I let Carlx handle everything. "

" You seem to trust him the most. "

" Yes. He is my right-hand man for fifteen years and not even once did he stabbed me. "

Ruru was pleased with what she heard-- though she looks placid, she was smiling inside knowing that her husband has someone worthy.

" Okay "

Ra smiled at the simplicity in her tone. Then with a composed expression...

" Wife, what do you want to do today? "

" I want to break someone's hand. "

Ra brushed the back of his head. Though he knew that Ruru is fibbing, the serious air that she produced was enough to make him swallow his saliva.

" No to violence, wife. Hehe-- how about we familiarize ourselves with each other? Since we never had a proper introduction, before marriage.

Ruru gapes at him doubting...

" Sure, you first. "

" Cough... cough... cough... Okay. I am Ra Jivve. I own the NBTech Company. I started my business ten years ago after I resigned as a WW fighter. I live alone with no parents for they died sixteen years ago and I have no siblings"

" Wait. WW Fighter? All died? "

" WW Fighter is an underground battle. The WW means War of the Wicked. But regarding my family can we not talk about it? " 

Ruru noticed that her husband's hands were shaking-- she knew he was trying to surpass his fear and agony. Knowing it will totally break him...

" Fine. Let's just do something. I am bored and my shake was already consumed. "

She wasn't bored but she wanted her husband to be charged. She wanted his face to brighten like a while ago.

" Bu--but you haven't introduced yourself " 

" You've seen my bio before marrying me, I bet that's enough. "

" You are tricky. "

Ruru ignored him because she doesn't know how to respond. Instead, she stood from her seat and strides to go out. 

" Hey-- where are you going? "

" I'll go wash the glass. "

Ra stood and immediately followed his wife. As they walked down the stairs, the house servants were happy seeing them. This is their first time to see their master going back to his old self seventeen years ago. Thus, their happiness is overflowing.

" Since we both have no work to do, how about we do something beautiful? "

" Sure wifey. Yours to decide. "

While Ruru was thinking, the man behind her is smiling. When they reached the kitchen, Ruru is still thinking and he is still tailing her happily.

After washing the glass, Ruru is still busy thinking. They went to the living room and when Ruru view the empty grounds on the window in front of her...

" Husband, let's plant. "

The smiling Ra just nod at her without any hesitation. But upon realizing...

" Plant? We don't have tools and seeds. "

" When we don't have, what should we do? "

" Get some "

" You got it, so husband I will give you an address and go there to get the materials I will list. Just give him the list and they will be given to you freely. "

Ruru immediately stood to get a piece of paper and a 0.3 pointed ballpen. She wrote everything systematically and alphabetically.


She gave it to him with a calm bright face while the man was gazing at her curiously as he gapes at the farm owner's name.

"  Belman? Who is this man? "

" He is my grandfather so be kind to him. Tell him you are my husband and he will give these things to you. Keep smiling and warm, okay? "

" Grandfather? It wasn't in your bio? "

" It is because grandparents were really not required in a resume nor biodata. Off you go... No more questions. "

Ruru pushed Ra towards the door while Ra was acting like he is against it, but oppositely he was smiling widely.

After three hours-- 3:00 pm...


Ra finally arrived. He entered their house and found Ruru in the living room.

" What are you doing? "

" I've drawn the landscape design. I am just furnishing it. "

Ruru then shows it to him. The design was painted in a wet strength cartridge paper having 180 gsm.

" You are a painter? "

" Yes. And what do you think of the design? "


Ra spoke casually but her eyes were glimmering. Ruru seems emotionless but if she was the girl fifteen years ago, she might be smiling widely today while bragging her work.


" It's so peaceful, beautiful and so real. "


" Not the painting, the design. "


" I like it. "


Ra gazed at the painting with admiration. He really likes to live in a place so peaceful like it a long time ago and until now. So he gently placed the painting on the table and grabbed Ruru's hand with an energetic voice...


" Let's go, wife. I cannot wait to plant. "


The couple, together with two male servants and three maids start to farm. The male pulverized the soil using their newly made grab hoes while the females mixed the compost soil with the cultivated soil and placed them in a vase-like pot. 


An hour later, they started to unpack the bush, strawberry, and succulents seedlings. They planted the bush in the middle of the garden field, the strawberries were planted in the pot surrounding the area where the bush was planted. The succulents were placed in a warm area.


Then, the pearl lily seed was planted in the pulverized soil at the edges. Then in between, them, they inserted yellow lily seed. On the cultivated soil in the pathway's opposite edge,  violet Million Flores and white carnation seedlings were planted in opposite halves.


At 7:00 pm...


" Everybody you can now go to rest. "


Ra humbly thanks their servants and let them take a rest.


" I hope they will grow as beautiful as your painting. "


" Yes. If taken care of. "


" Sure "


Ra and Ruru entered their house with warm feelings. They first take an essential bath, and the longer one to finish is Ruru.


When the dinner that Ra prepared was ready, the servants were asked by Ra to eat with them for the first time.

After eating, before the dishes will be fixed, the oldest maid-- Miss Rosie, speak with a smile and a thankful voice.

" We are really glad you came to our master's life. "


Ruru nods respectfully while Ra was choked by the water he's drinking.


" Yes, we are glad to have you as our master's wife. "


All the servants smiled at her making her stern face heats up while Ra looks at her with a smile.


" So am I "


Ra paused for a while and display a smirk at her...


" I really do "

Ra speaks with a sincere voice-- telling her the great gratitude he is keeping inside. He really was glad to have her. If he was to commit another mistake, that is to marry the wrong woman as he did more than two months ago.

When she woke up, she was in another world. What changes will happen to her peaceful life?

Modifying Mars was a large project that Xiye was currently facing. Ever since the magnetic field of this planet collapsed, a great quantity of moisture had been absorbed into outer space. However, another portion of moisture had fused with the outer rock crust and was locked on Mars's surface.
The reason why Mars couldn't become a life planet was precisely because of this. The magnetic field had collapsed, and the difference in temperature between night and day was extremely great. There was no way for it to naturally produce an atmosphere. With no moisture content, it was naturally extremely tough to produce life on this planet.
At this moment, what he needed to do was to rebuild the magnetic field and stabilize Mars' atmospheric pressure. After that, he must release the moisture content locked in the rocks and make them take the form of oceans!
Thereafter, he would artificially manipulate and produce large amounts of carbon dioxide to guide the outer layer of Mars to form the atmosphere. By doing so, he would be able to forcibly manipulate the planet, so ordinary life could exist.
Such manipulation might seem inconceivable to people from D-Planet, but to a civilization where he was from, it was as simple as eating a meal.
Back when he was in Deity University, modifying a planet was just a basic lesson for heavenly deities. Every now and then, their instructors would bring them to different pre-prepared planets for them to do modifications. It was unknown how many times Xiye had completed modifications for ninth-grade planets with extremely vile environments. Modifying Mars was basically something at the beginner-level.
However, the problem didn't lie in the difficulty of the modification, but in the situation.
After all, there was still a neighboring planet that could attack him with countless nuclear warheads...
Therefore, he needed to properly plan and conceal this great modification project from them. Otherwise, how should he create a perfect incident that could settle those satellites in one go?
The A.I. was correct. For such matters, he had to use the players. It wasn't too realistic if he wanted to implement such a plan alone.
(Let's take a look at the players' capabilities when it comes to the implementation of a plan.)
When he thought of this, Xiye went to the base's center and asked the A.I. about the progress during this period.
A.I.: "The candidates from the green titan race have been decided, there's a total of 15 of them. They are respectively the top ten players of the weaponry department and the top 5 players from the berserker department. The elves are beginning to transform. According to this A.I. and Raingirl No Melon's plan, the next step is to deduce the best jobs to match the individual players."
After speaking, it transmitted a job-matching picture over.
The five berserker green titans were extremely essential for this rescue operation as they might encounter high-ranked mercenaries on D-Planet.
Currently, South Africa was in a state of unrest, and many weapons and ammunition merchants saw their profits spiraling upward. In this case, the green titans might encounter attacks from heavy weapons. If they ran into a situation where they had no alternative left, they would need a certain degree of eruptive might to break apart the encirclement from the suppressive fire. Hence, green titans of the berserker department were very essential!
Those from the weaponry department could guarantee sustainable combat strength. Whereas berserkers, after their frenzy period, would enter a weakened state. At that moment, they would need their comrade to cover them; hence, the green titans of the weaponry department would be their companions.
Xiye felt puzzled when he saw this. "Raingirl No Melons' mecha strength isn't counted within?"
A.I.: "Nope. The player Raingirl No Melons is just a first-grade lifeform, and it's unknown if she would break through and enter the second-grade level after this week's training. Although her rune talent is excellent and can forcefully use third-grade mental energy for a short period, these moves were very risky. A mecha could only provide her with some degree of self-protection, but she cannot be counted in our battle strategy."
Xiye nodded upon hearing this. He then continued to look below.
The deployment list suggested equipping five rangers to observe the enemies' movement and snipe them.
(Requirement: At the very least, second-grade rangers. They must be able to detect the dangers of being sniped and rapidly find enemy snipers' positions, swiftly eliminating them. Their main responsibility is to protect the weaker and more fragile lifeforms in the team. Mainly, they have to protect Raingirl No Melons herself.)
When he saw this, Xiye's lips twitched as he continued reading.
(There would at least be five infiltrators per team: To assassinate targets in situations of urgency and to achieve the effect of chaos.)
(In the team, it was best to have either a stone spirit or wood spirit.)
At crucial times, the power of magic might determine victory. One had to use magic only in surprise attacks; hence, there was no need for too many magic-users in the team.
(The norm will be that five teams have to be carefully equipped, and each of them has to consist of a berserker green titan, two green titans of the weaponry specialization, a long-range archer, a sentry ranger, an infiltrator, a developer, and either a stone spirit or wood spirit)
(Mission plan: Each of the teams has to infiltrate the five epidemic areas in South Africa respectively. Use the name of Professor Ferril of the research center to distribute the detoxification serum and do your best to help the local reporters to report that the epidemic is already under control. If the need arises, you are allowed to wipe out all mercenaries groups in that area if they harbored ill intentions.)
As for the detailed steps of the plan, Raingirl No Melons spread a piece of paper that was about three feet tall. Just the words on it seemed to be almost a billion in number.
Xiye glanced at the detailed plan and sighed. "I'm in awe. Are all developers so outstanding?"
A.I.: "It's naturally impossible. There will always be differences between members of the same race. In elite races, there will be heroes born, as well as trash. Right now, the publicly acknowledged battle god in the Federation, Cangyue, is merely someone from the Bluemoon Race that's infected by void-poison. But is there anyone else in the history of the Bluemoon Race that's as outstanding as her?"
Xiye: "..."
Being educated like this by an A.I. was truly a miraculous thing...
In fact, Xiye would occasionally suspect if this A.I. was impersonated by a living person. Wasn't it too human-like?
"In that case, what's the situation with the elves? Are they able to provide support for this mission's requirement?"
"It's a little difficult…" the A.I. replied. "Out of the sixty transformed elves, only two are shadowers, while only about four to five Walkers have strong lower limbs. With this result, it is very tough to gather enough assassins and rangers."
Xiye frowned. "What about the wind demons?"
"Wind demons? We have quite a few of them, over ten. Sir Overlord, do you want to change the list of jobs selected for the mission?"
"No!" Xiye shook his head. "We will still go with your plan… But this time around, I brought back a wind demon-type ranger from the Federation. She can train a few wind demons to be a ranger to make up for the numbers."
"Wind demon rangers?" The A.I. suddenly fell silent. After that, the warmth in its voice seemed to abruptly vanish. "Sir Overlord, next time, can you please give me the information upon your return? If not, it is very hard for this A.I. to provide you with the latest data analysis!"
"Oh...I'm sorry. I was too tired after I returned last night. Hence, I went to sleep first…"
It was unknown why but he suddenly felt that this A.I. was truly angry.
This...should be an illusion, right?
Something like an A.I. would be angry…? What was it if not an illusion?
"Cough…" Xiye coughed lightly and tossed his unrealistic thoughts earlier to the back of his mind. He then continued, "As for assassins, if the number of shadowers is not enough, should we consider watchmen?"
"The watchmen? Sir Overlord, do you think that our watchmen will be able to go outfield just after a week of training?"
"Eh...they have to gain experience no matter what…" Xiye also felt that this request was a little forceful. Watchmen were blessed with spatial talent, and they were excellent seedlings to be trained into assassins. However, the difficulty of this job was very high during the early phase. Usually, the quality of elves would be extremely high if they were able to gain control of their talent about half-a-year after their transformation. For elves like these, they would undoubtedly be heavily nurtured in many clans.
Now, he was requesting to use watchmen just after a week of training? It was indeed somewhat difficult.
However, it was unknown why, but Xiye always felt that these players could give him a surprise...


Player: I'm a worker whose monthly salary doesn’t even hit $5,000. My monthly rental already takes up half of my salary, I don’t have a girlfriend and is reprimanded by my superior every day. However, I feel very happy because there has been a new virtual game recently. In the game, I have a powerful bloodline. Not only do I have my own fleet, I even have a powerful overlord that granted me a colonized planet. Although I know this is fake, but inside there, I found the meaning of my life!
Actually...the overlord who gave him the planet really wanted to tell him that this game wasn’t fake. (You really have your own fleet and colonized planet…) but the overlord knew that he couldn’t say this. Because, once he said it, these subjects who thought of themselves as ‘players’, would definitely not be as terrifyingly hardworking as now!!



The reward from Feather of the Chief Specter added to his identity as Qidian's well-known list owner.

Feather of the Chief Spector indeed fulfilled its promise and added Pi's novel to its list. Followers soon realized that a new book with a low word count was added to the list, and started flooding the book review sections to find out if the book was worth reading, pushing down all the bad posts about Pi.

Zhang Zian logged onto the author's platform, deleted all the untrue posts and blocked the writers from the page. Finally, the book review section was peaceful once again.

The effects were really terrifying. Zhang Zian and Pi both watched as the number of adds increased to a new level, simply dumbfounded.

Pi recovered from its depressed mood and started on a new chapter. However, Pi refreshed the book review section every half hour to prevent any more slanderous posts from showing up again.

Bang! Bang!

Someone downstairs was knocking on the doors. It must be Lu Yiyin here for work.

Ever since he woke up, Zhang Zian had been busy with Pi's novel. His face wasn't washed, hair wasn't done and he hadn't finished cleaning the area. He quickly ran downstairs to let her in, and then started cleaning. As for his face and hair, nobody was going to look anyway.

A nimble figure ran across the front of the store, followed closely by a brown, black and white beagle with its tongue out.


Passing by the pet store's glass door, Masanori Suzuhara eyes met Zhang Zian's. She nodded as a greeting and the next second her figure was no longer in sight.

She would be run past the store almost everyday. The people who live nearby and wake up early are already used to her reflective sports attire and sports shoes, yet only a few of them know that she's an exchange student from Japan.

Zhang Zian walked over to the entrance of the store and looked in the direction she was running. Not only did he see the reflective strip on her back, but he also saw the line outside Li's Supreme Snack Shop. People were already lining up so that they would be able to cuddle with the cats as they have their breakfast.

After a moment, Wang Qian and Li Kun cheerfully turned up for work. They were told the day before that due to their exemplary actions, they'll get a cut of next semester's merit student scholarship. To them, it was like a gift from God.

Zhang Zian stood at the entrance, stopping the two from entering, and pointed towards the direction of the market and said, "Go over to the shop and buy some firecrackers."

The two of them looked at each other and said after a moment, "Master, you want to set off firecrackers?"

These days, not much people in the city still set off fireworks. Those who want to do so, go to the outskirts of town. It was a hassle, and the two of them didn't expect Zhang Zian to have a fun side.

"Just go where I tell you." Zhang Zian waved as he chased them away.

This is the elfins' first Chinese New Year since they came to Binhai City. Zhang Zian planned to give them a memory that was closer to the traditional celebration, so firecrackers were essential.
Of course, for safety reasons, setting off firecrackers within the city was prohibited, so any plan to set off firecrackers had to be done on the outskirts of town. Zhang Zian had already thought of a good location, Fu Tao's police dog nursing home, where the area around the village definitely didn't prohibit setting off firecrackers.

Ten dismissed police dogs had been living there for a period of time Although they weren't put to use after being bought by the film crew, they were still part of the film crew. Zhnag Zian planned to visit, to take a look at their current living conditions.

Most members of the film crew, including director Feng Xuan, were either working on the editing process or filming for other movies. The rest were at home with their families for the New Years. No one remain in Binhai City, except for Zhang Zian, so the task visiting the dogs naturally fell on his shoulders.

The living expenses for the 10 police dogs were paid for by the film crew. Zhang Zian visited the dogs on behalf of the film crew to check if the money was put to good use, and not put into Fu Tao's wallet.

If the police dogs were suffering, the film crew would be too ashamed to put the closing line, "Proper arrangements were made for all animals that worked on the production of this film." Feng Xuan and his wife took this matter very seriously, they had requested for Zhang Zian to make some time for a trip down, and to ensure that it was a surprise so he can see the truth.

The trip to the police dog nursing home not only allowed Zhang Zian to complete Feng Xuan's task, he would also be able to let the elfins see the fireworks, killing two birds with one stone.

The only question was, when to leave?

Fu Tao and  the police dog nursing home weren't going anywhere, but Pi still wasn't able to leave the pet store. If Pi couldn't witness the fireworks, Pi would be bitter.

Getting the fireworks was the top priority, and if there was no other choice, then they'd have to go without Pi.

Having sent off Wang Qian and Li Kun, Zhang Zian cleaned the shop alone. Once he finished, he noticed that it was already past 9 in the morning. Today was a workday, the Qidian editor should already be at work, so he leaned on the door frame as he took out his phone and tapped on the bald monk's profile picture.

Every editor is in charge of a few hundred authors, so Zhang Zian wouldn't usually disturb the editor, but today was a unusual circumstance.
He tried his best to explain the whole situation, and nervously awaited the response.
Zhang Zian thought that he was going to have to wait a few minutes, yet unexpectedly, the reply came quickly, "Don't worry about it. Stabilize the rate of your updates.

Although the words used were short, Zhang Zian knew he was being supportive or else he wouldn't have said, "Don't worry about it."

Just as he was about to put his phone away, there was another message, "Get ready to become premium on New Year's Eve."

Zhang Zian was instantly a mess. Today was the Chinese Off Year, that means there's only less than a week left before he became premium. His estimation of having to wait for another two to three weeks before the test to become premium was off.


1. Download a suspicious game
2. Catch a few magical pets as partners
3. Go through interesting daily routines and lead the pet shop to a whole new level

Feeling more confident now that she could weave spells, Jayde left the small room and found Isha waiting for her.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough," Isha said with a broad smile on his face.

Jayde smiled slightly in response.

"Isha, now that I have broken through, this ring of the old man, can I now contract it?" she asked pointing to the ring on her thumb. Ever since Isha has told her about spatial rings, she had been eaten up with curiosity about the ring on her thumb.

"Hmm, there should be no problem now with contracting the ring, just drop a single drop of your blood onto the stone of the ring, and then inject your magic into the ring, this will form a contract the ring. The old man's imprint would have faded after he died."

"How do I form a contract with the ring?"

"It will automatically form once you inject your magic into the ring."

"It's that simple? Does that mean that anyone can just form a contract with a spatial ring?" Jayde asked appalled, the method that Isha described seemed really insecure.

"No, while a mage is still alive no one else can form a contract with an artifact that has been bound. It is only once a mage is dead, that their magic that bounds the artifact slowly fades and the artifact is once free to form a new contract."

"Oh! Okay, that makes more sense." Jayde said.

Bidding Isha farewell Jayde left the Pavilion and returned to her cave.

Upon returning to her cave, the first thing Jayde did was prick her finger with her dagger, and drop a drop of her blood on the amber stone on the ring. Then injecting her magic into the ring, she formed a contract with it.

Once the ring was infused with her magic, she was able to enter her continuousness into the ring. The space storage wasn't that big, but Jayde was delighted to find out that the ring she had inherited was one of the rare spatial rings available in Doha, and she could store living items in it.

While the old man's ring wasn't filled with treasures, it did have quite a few rare plants in clay pots, as well as dozens of other essential herbs, spirit stones, and metal ores. The ring had about fifteen cubic meters of storage space available, and Jayde was overjoyed to find another satchel filled with elven wafer bread.

She was really curious how the old man had acquired so much elven wafer bread, she was starting to suspect that he wasn't from the Lower Realm but was someone from one of the noble families from the Mid Realm.

After seeing the metal ores, Jayde was reminded of the comment Isha made about maybe there was dwarven dark gold in the old man things.  Removing all the metal ores from the ring and placing them with the pile of ores in the cave, she contacted Isha to see if he could identify if there was any dwarven dark gold in the ore pile.

Unfortunately, there was no dwarven dark gold, but Isha did point out some valuable metal ores such as storm iron, humming titanium, enchanted dust, and doom copper. Placing these precious ores back in her spatial ring for safe keeping, Jayde pulled out the basic fire spell scroll and started to teach herself some basic fire spells.

After a week of practicing her fire spells, Jayde was satisfied with her firebolt, fireball and fire shield spell, she could also infuse her dagger and arrows with fire attributes so that her blade and bow now had fire damage. With these spells, her offensive abilities had increased quite substantially, and Jayde was now confident she could handle whatever the Dark Forest could throw at her.

Jayde decided to port to the Pavilion to inform Isha of her decision to enter the Dark Forest. Hearing that Jayde intended to enter the Dark Forest shortly, Isha cautioned her that she would need to be careful and not be overconfident about her fire magic.

"Isha, I am pretty sure that I will be fine. I did pass White's assessment, and I am sure that whatever beasts are in the perimeter is nothing compared to what he threw at me."

Isha gazed at Jayde, opening his mouth as though to say something, he then closed it, he paused as though he was collecting his thoughts.

"Um Jayde, you should be aware that the creatures you faced during your assessment had no magic. That test was based purely on your physical skills." Isha said his tone serious.

Jayde's eyebrows furrowed, she wasn't quite sure what Isha was trying to say.

"Yes and how is that relevant?" she asked cautiously.

Isha sighed, it was as he suspected, Jayde didn't realize the difference between normal creatures and spirit beasts.

"Even a level one spirit beast is stronger than the beasts you faced during your test. They are tougher, faster, have greater strength and agility, and most of them can weave spells," he explained.

Isha explanation brought to mind the previous soul's experience with her uncle in the small glade, and how his fist had shattered her cheek. Jayde realized that she had been overconfident, she had underestimated just how different this world was. Thank the gods, I spoke to Isha before entering the forest, she thought.

It had just been over a month since Jayde had arrived on Doha, and all she had done since arriving is practice, but she knew that she needed actual combat experience. Jayde decided to follow through her original plan and enter the Dark Forest, but she would only stick to the perimeter and besides if anything really went wrong she could always teleport directly to the Pavilion.

***

Waking up early the next morning Jayde decided to prepare to enter the Dark Forest the following day. Jayde spent the morning preparing her weapons, food, and water. She also packed some extra clothing, healing potions and pills as well as some firewood and her flint.

While rummaging through the goods stored in her "inherited" spatial ring she had found ward stones, glow stones, an old tent and sleeping bag that the old man must have used while adventuring in the Dark Forest.

Confident that she was prepared for every eventuality, Jayde spent the afternoon going through the old man's notes and reading up on his experiences in the Dark Forest.

His notes were detailed, giving Jayde a good understanding of what sort of spirit beast she could encounter even going so far as to list the beast's weakness and strengths. Jayde took special note of each beasts description as well as their strengths and weakness.

He must have been a scholar at one time in his life, she thought, after reading the vast amount of data contained in his diaries.

It was just before sunset when Jayde came across something strange in the diary that she was reading. Noticing that the page she was reading was a lot thicker than the rest, Jayde looked at it carefully and saw that it seemed like the pages were glued together.

Taking her dagger out, she carefully inserted the blade in-between the two pages stuck together and separated the pages. It took some time, but after reading what the pages contained Jayde was delighted that she had taken the time to separate the glued pages.

At the same time, Su Le was drinking coffee and adding to her online novel. Although it was raining outside, she, unfortunately, had to stay up late to write her novel, while Chen Yue had already gone to bed.

Initially, for the past few days, Chen Yue was worried that Su Le would do something stupid due to her breakup, but now Chen Yue had already stopped worrying and let Su Le live as she pleased. She was relieved to see Su Le still eating and drinking like she normally did. Also, Su Le did not act crazy like other people do when they go through a bad breakup. In fact, looking back, Su Le felt a bit regretful and thought she should have pretended to be a bit more delicate.

Suddenly, Su Le stopped typing and released a sigh when she heard the rain hitting the glass windows. She first started writing novels while she was in university after she had finished an internship, but Zhuang Wei had never asked her anything about it. He didn't even remember her pen name, but she did not mind at the time because she thought that he was not interested. She now knew the real reason. It wasn't because he wasn't interested, but because he was not thinking about her. No wonder some people say 'when a man says he loves you, it may not be the truth. But when he says he doesn't love you, then he definitely doesn't love you.'

Su Le rubbed her forehead. There are so many good men in this world, so why did the heavens give her a scumbag?

Drinking a mouthful of strong coffee, Su Le continued to concentrate and work on her novel. In her novel, the male lead was currently being careful and attentive to win over the female lead. Reality may be bitter, but at least in novels, it was very sweet. Su Le even suspected that one day she would suffer from a personality disorder, the cause being mixing reality with fiction…


After typing up and proofreading the chapter to her satisfaction, Su Le posted the chapter online. She then checked the time and saw that it was 11pm. It was late, but she couldn't sleep. Could this be like the legend where people suffer from insomnia after a bad break up?

Su Le decided to play an online game for a while. Alone, she went to the west lake to light up a lantern and make a wish, before going to the wishing tree to make a wish. She then went to a cave at the bottom of the cliff to kill monsters. Despite it being an MMORPG, she turned it into a single-player game. Since she didn't like getting married in games or joining a sect or a group, it was no wonder she was playing like it was a single-player game.

After playing for a while, Su Le started to feel bored, so she released the mouse and stretched her body. Quietly, she climbed into bed and grabbed her mobile from the bedside, only to discover that she had an unread message.

Su Le opened the text message and read it. The text was sent an hour ago. The sender was Wei Chu. Su Le froze. In her heart, she thought elites like Wei Chu would not use text messages. Ah … As expected, she turned this person into a demon in her mind.

The text contained a corny joke. It was something that was often seen online. Su Le pondered, extremely solemnly, for some time. Was Senior Wei lonely?

Decisively putting the mobile to the side, Su Le pulled up her blanket and went to sleep.

—————-

The next day at 9am, Su Le struggled to get out of bed and open the curtains and wash her face. It was still raining. Sitting at the desk, Su Le yawned before switching on the computer to open up the website hosting her novel. Her mobile rang as she was reading the comments left by her readers. She picked up her phone and saw that it was Wei Chu again. If she hadn't been told by the person himself that he wasn't interested in her, she would have shamelessly thought Wei Chu had fallen in love with her at first sight and that he was now calling because he missed her!

"Morning, Senior Wei," said Su Le as she opened up the online game to change her character's clothes.

Wei Chu glanced at the time and saw that it was 9:40 am. It was still not considered late, so he smiled, "Morning, do you have time tonight?"


Su Le divided her attention, as she moved her character into a building while replying to Wei Chu. "I don't have anything but time recently," and opened her inventory to pull out some materials to sell. "Is there something wrong, Senior Wei?"

"It's like this; tonight there's a gathering but my secretary has applied for maternity leave. Can you attend as my partner?" Wei Chu lifted his head and saw his secretary entering the office and carrying a cup of coffee.

This was the first time that Chen Xu heard about him being on maternity leave. He expressionlessly placed the coffee in front of Wei Chu before looking at his boss' handsome face that was currently smiling brightly without any guilt. He released a sigh and turned around to leave the office.

"Maternity leave?" Su Le unconsciously nodded, "Ok." Afterwards, she hung up as she saw her character had frozen, so she quickly grabbed a weapon from her inventory to turn around to see who was causing mischief.

Wei Chu heard the call had ended and couldn't help but smile. Originally, he had prepared another excuse, but he didn't expect that the other party would agree so quickly. However, it was obvious that she was preoccupied.
Putting down the earphones, he saw that Chen Xu had walked in with a file in his hands after hearing the knock on the door. Wei Chu looked up, glancing at him in silence.

"How come I didn't know that I have applied for maternity leave," said Chen Xu, as he placed the file down. "Lao Da, don't you think you should give me some mental comfort?"

"I don't mind finding a secretary that requires maternity leave," Wei Chu took the file and scanned through it. He saw it was consistent with the previous project plan and signed it, "If you are too idle, you can re-do one of the project plans from yesterday."

Chen Xu looked at his boss silently. As expected, capitalists that exploit workers are all too hateful.

"Boss, are you trying to pursue a girl?" Chen Xu interestedly asked, "Which girl requires you to spend so much effort to pursue?" It was really not easy for this block of wood to get enlightened. Chen Xu thought about the numerous naive female colleagues that were practically groveling at this person's feet. In the end, this person, who had never even blinked an eye at them, was finally captured by someone.

It was rare for Wei Chu to listen to Chen Xu's blabber.


"Women need to be coaxed."

Wei Chu carried on reading the documents.

"Women need to feel secure."

Wei Chu's hand that was flipping through the pages paused.

"Right. Women also need us to cherish them. When situations require you to be romantic, then you should be romantic. When they require you to be honest, then you should be honest. Never say sweet nothings when being honest. Women are getting more and more cunning nowadays. Saying too many flowery words would make them think that you're too fickle, but being too honest would make them think that you're too dull. Us men really don't have it easy."

Wei Chu stopped all his movements.

Chen Xu noticed this and his spirits improved swiftly, "Come, come, I'll tell you the eighteen things you need to be aware of when pursuing a girl. One, you cannot constantly bother her. Two, you need to be able to cook and host. Three …."

"For chatting during work hours, your this month's salary is reduced by 200." Wei Chu closed the file and looked at Chen Xu. "Right now, you need to go out, turn right, and return to your office to work. And while you're at it, close the door behind you after you leave. Thanks."
Chen Xu gaped and speechlessly turned around to leave. After he left, he clenched his teeth. "Someday, a fierce woman will come and sort you out!"

—————-

Once Wei Chu was alone, he quickly typed out some words on the keyboard to search for something. Many results came up, and there were links to; "Twenty Steps To Get A Girlfriend","What Type Of Men Do Women Like The Most?", "How To Be A Good Man", "A Discussion On The Development Regarding The Feasibility Of Pursuing A Girl", "How To Get Her To Love You More", etc. It could be said that there were all kinds of links and an abundance of information.


Randomly clicking on the most popular link "Essential Requirements For Pursuing A Girl". He started to read:

You don't have to be rich, but you definitely need to have an apartment. This is essential for pursuing girls.

Wei Chu nodded to himself. He had a small villa, so this requirement was already achieved .

You don't have to have a sports car, but you cannot forget to take your girlfriend back home, no matter what the weather is like.

Wei Chu nodded again. He could also do this step since he had a car.

You don't have to be good-looking, but you must be gentle. On the other hand, if you have a great appearance, then make sure that you're not too close with lots of different women. Otherwise, you'll just give off the bad impression of being a player.

Wei Chu started to wonder if he had too many close relations with women.

You don't have to be wealthy, but you must be considerate. Such as helping your girlfriend carry her bag, accompanying her to go shopping, being able to cook, doing the laundry, washing the dishes, and mopping the floors. You must be able to do at least the majority of the list above.

From the list above, Wei Chu felt like he could do all of the things mentioned.

If you're good-looking and rich, and you own a villa and a sports car, then congratulations, but you only have two unfortunate options. One is finding a vain and narcissistic girlfriend. While the other option is to fall in love with someone who doesn't feel secure with you. If it's option one, then you're unlucky. If it's the other option, then you're very unlucky. Not only do you need to be virtuous, understanding, and earn money, but you also need to find a way to convince the woman you love that you are sincere.


Wei Chu's brows knitted together while his hand unconsciously touched his chin. He heard that a certain country's plastic surgery techniques were pretty good.

Even though nothing had started yet, CEO Wei needed to work hard.

After closing the game, Su Le felt that something was not right. Suddenly, she remembered the phone call with Wei Chu. Su Le felt that her muddied brain had started to clear up, and there were two letters hanging from her. One letter was 'S', and the other was 'B.'

"Why did I play online games!?" Su Le opened her novel-writing friends' group chat. In the chat, the group of women were happily messing around with each other. Until another author, who Su Le had a good relationship with, posted an announcement, "This lady is getting married."

Su Le's fingers stiffened slightly. Although the other party kept complaining about how tiring and senseless the wedding preparations were, Su Le could tell that her friend was in fact very happy. Exposing a slight smile, Su Le responded with a "Congratulations."

Very quickly, the group of ladies started to mess around with each other again. Su Le thought in her mind that in this group of people, there would be people who sincerely felt happy for this friend while feeling melancholic over their single status.

In a lifetime, there were many things that people can get by without or find a substitute for. The one exception is marriage, only this type of thing could not be forced or done with anyone.

"The wedding ceremony is going to take place at J City. Ladies that live nearby, don't forget to bring wedding money with you when attending."

Su Le laughed silently towards the computer. Isn't J City close to where she's going?

He was confused, so he asked, “I have a car, a house, good-looks and money. What am I lacking in?” She replied, “All those attributes are what men use to lure mistresses. So, which of those attributes is a good characteristic?” Ashamed, he reflected, “I am loyal to one and I can host and cook. I can make the bed and accompany you when you wish to go out.” She replied bitterly, “I shall, reluctantly, accept you then.” Good men would not let the women they love fight with the mistress but get rid of them on their own.
