[The tsundere girl Mu Yuer dislikes the sweet grapes you sent, emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +13.14 million]!]
...
Mu An's lips curled up slightly.
Using the lowest cost to obtain the most rewards!
A little tsundere, perfectly handled!
However, this little girl keeps complaining about the sourness one moment and the sweetness the next.
Aren't they all from the same bunch of grapes? How can there be such a rich variety of flavors?
He couldn't quite understand.
But if possible, he didn't want to make their relationship too tense.
However, if it really came to a point where those protagonists threatened his life or principles regarding his interests,
Then he wouldn't hesitate to be ruthless and betray his kin!
I, Mu An, am just an emotionless villain!
"Young Master, may I ask when you need relationship advice today?"
Ning Er stood respectfully beside him, slightly bowing.
"Relationship... advice?"
Mu An was momentarily taken aback.
Then he couldn't help but slap his forehead, his lips twitching involuntarily.
Speaking of this strange term, he remembered.
In his previous life, in order to pursue the campus belle Su Zhirou, he almost asked his little maid various strange questions every day.
For example, "What do fairies eat to grow up? Dew?"
"How to attract their attention?"
"Why does she always ignore the bunch of messages I send her?"
"Sometimes she only replies with one word, and sometimes she doesn't reply at all?" and so on.
He even called it "relationship advice"!
The more he recalled, the darker Mu An's expression became.
Wasn't his previous behavior a bit too childish?
What a solid black history!
"No need! Cancel such consultations in the future!"
"No! I should say, don't let me hear those words again!"
Mu An firmly rejected such shameful behavior.
If his own emotional fluctuations could also yield rewards, it would definitely be shame +1+1+1+1... rewards +1+1+1+1+1...
"Eh?"
The little maid tilted her head in confusion, seemingly not quite understanding.
And she really didn't understand.
The young master had been very enthusiastic about such consultations before!
For this, she had diligently studied relationship books for three whole years!
She felt she had become a master of relationship guidance!
Just maybe lacking a bit of practical experience...
[Ning Er feels a bit puzzled but doesn't dare to ask more, emotional fluctuation +10, congratulations, you have received the reward [Adorable Maid's Private Photo Collection]!]
"You seem to want to know the reason?"
Seeing the girl hesitating to speak, Mu An smiled faintly.
Ning Er instinctively nodded, then quickly shook her head.
As a servant, daring to ask the master for a reason was indeed overstepping her bounds.
That was very impolite and even forbidden behavior!
[Ning Er feels you have changed a bit, seemingly more mature, a bit different, complex emotional fluctuations +10, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +1200]!]
"I can tell you, but first, you need to do your job well!"
"For example, shouldn't you be warming my bed tonight?"
Mu An teased her with a smile.
After all, his heart for obtaining rewards was always alive!
And what is a little maid for?
Mu An's answer:
Of course, to... cough cough, warm the bed!
The girl, who had been quietly eavesdropping, was instantly dumbfounded upon hearing this.
Her cheeks turned slightly red.
Warming... warming the bed... such a request, it was the first time she heard the young master take the initiative to bring it up!
But if it was the young master, it didn't seem impossible...
She had long been prepared for this...
After all, one of her initial values was... um, that...
It seemed she recalled something inappropriate that her mother had once warned her about, and the girl's pretty face flushed even more.
She became shy and a bit unnatural.
[Ning Er feels a bit shy, emotional fluctuation +12, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +5 million]!]
[Ning Er feels a bit expectant, emotional fluctuation +13, congratulations, you have received the reward [Constitution +1]!]
[Ning Er feels a million points of expectation, emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [108 Styles of Trendy Couple Outfits for the Bedroom]!]
...
Mu An: ???
Something's off, very off!
He originally intended to get the girl to spill some information related to the dragon king protagonist.
Like fragments of the plot or something.
But it seems something strange has come out instead?
Sigh, it's all this colorful system's fault!
It insists on using such wicked rewards to tempt him to fall, when all he wanted was to be a simple and serious villain!

(System politely: You? )
"I, I will go prepare!"
Before Mu An could say anything more, Ning Er hurriedly left with her head down.
And perhaps because she didn't see the road clearly, she bumped into quite a few wooden tables along the way.
Her flustered appearance was nothing like her usual careful and reliable self.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
The girl nervously apologized to the object she bumped into.
It seemed she was completely unaware that she had collided with an object, not a person.
This left Mu An speechless.
By the time he regained his senses, he realized the girl's figure had already disappeared.
He had just raised his hand, but after a sigh, he helplessly lowered it again.
It seemed he couldn't extract any information related to the Dragon King protagonist from Ning Er for the time being!
He could only slightly organize the items he currently possessed.
For example, checking the "[Insider Information on Tianhai Group's Beauty Formula]...
After a long time, Mu An's brows furrowed deeply.
After receiving this reward, he had only glanced at it briefly and hadn't looked closely.
Now it seemed that Su Zhirou's father's Tianhai Group definitely had major issues!
Their flagship beauty formula had gained nationwide fame after years of rapid development.
However, its actual effects were completely inconsistent with the advertisements.
Along with false advertising, there were also significant side effects!
If used for too long, it could even cause irreversible permanent bodily harm!
The most critical point was that they had reached this point today, and Mu An had played a significant role!
After all, many subsidiaries of Tianmu Group had been protecting them because of his influence.
Countless funds and connections had been invested without hesitation.
Even a pig could take off standing at this windfall!
Mu An speculated that with such a huge problem, if it blew up, it would be a considerable trouble even for the large Tianmu Group.
Just in terms of public opinion and credibility, it could cause significant damage to the group!
And during this process, following the tropes of a feel-good literature (shuangwen) novels, a certain protagonist might even jump out to make a hefty profit.
At the same time, they wouldn't forget to step on a few toes!
It was truly ruthless!
Mu An felt he had seen through everything.
And the source of all this was because of the face he wanted to save while pursuing the other party's daughter!
Heh~
Mu An couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
The other party accepted benefits without hesitation, quietly profiting from his family's interests and welfare.
Yet they pretended to turn a blind eye, neither supporting nor opposing the previous pursuit of Su Zhirou.
Perhaps they wanted him to suffer unrequited love, keeping him on a string to gain even greater benefits?
It was truly a case of throwing a meat bun to a dog, with no return!
Were they really taking advantage of his youth and ignorance?
The previous owner must have had their head kicked by a donkey to lose such significant benefits over a woman who wasn't even his girlfriend!
Without hesitation, Mu An contacted Old Jiang, the steward.
When in doubt, call for backup.
"Hey, is this Old Jiang? Help me deal with matters related to Tianhai Group!"
"Help me bring them down? No, no!"
"What I mean is to quickly withdraw our subsidiaries from them, and it would be best to officially announce the severance of ties!"
"Don't have any further entanglements with them!"
"As for the losses, I'll bear them all myself!"
"What's the reason? Heh, no reason!"
"I just simply feel that if they want to cooperate with our Tianmu Group, they are... not worthy!"
