Chen Ningshuang had racked her brains to cultivate and grow stronger.
Now that her power had increased enough to suppress Jiang Che, it also gave rise to some... less-than-honorable thoughts.
She wanted to kidnap Jiang Che and lock him away in some underground room—where he would belong to her alone.
"Hey, hey, hey! Chen Ningshuang, you can play around, but don’t even think about privatizing public property. This shared bicycle of mine belongs to everyone!"
Jiang Che saw right through her little scheme.
Though Chen Ningshuang was stronger than Jiang Che and could easily overpower him, all of that was contingent on his willingness.
If he refused, even a Transcendent-level expert wouldn’t be able to suppress him.
Chen Ningshuang pouted, but her audacity only grew.
Meanwhile, Dong'er, who had been sitting on the balcony basking in the sun while petting a cat, slowly turned her gaze toward them.
A terrifying aura flickered briefly—revealing her Mid-Grandmaster-level cultivation!
As the most obedient girl by Jiang Che’s side, Dong'er would never hesitate to act if he were in danger or being coerced.
She blinked her beautiful big eyes twice, then turned away.
Assessment complete—no threat to Master. Back to petting the cat.
Dong'er, with her silver hair, cuddled the transformed ragdoll cat, Su Mianmian, stroking its fur. This once-soulless girl seemed to be developing her own thoughts.

[Ding! Host successfully scammed Deputy Pavilion Master ‘Xu Rong,’ earning 10,000 Scam Points.]
"Ah!!! Damn you, Chen Hao! Now you’re scamming me too?!"
Xu Rong jumped up in shock, glaring at Chen Hao with burning eyes.
Chen Hao’s reputation in the headquarters had plummeted to rock bottom—barely anyone was willing to team up with him anymore.
They were all Children of Destiny, and none were fools. Most had already guessed the nature of his golden finger.
Chen Hao put on an innocent face. "Pavilion Master Xu, I swear it was an accident! I grabbed the wrong one..."
Xu Rong stared at Chen Hao’s apologetic expression, but the smirk on his lips never faded. That’s when he knew—he’d definitely been scammed.
His ability, Super Divine Gene, required fusing with animal traits. Earlier, Xu Rong had asked Chen Hao to fetch the ‘Chameleon Gene Serum’ from the lab, but the bastard handed him the ‘Donkey Gene Serum’ instead.
And so, an extremely awkward situation unfolded. Instead of optimizing his invisibility, a certain part of his body had been enhanced over tenfold!
His pants couldn’t even contain it—he had to wrap it around his waist.
For a man, this might be something to boast about, but having to tie it around his waist? That was just ridiculous!
"Ahem, Pavilion Master Xu, my bad. I’ll split the Scam Points with you, fifty-fifty."
"Deal!" Xu Rong’s expression instantly brightened.
Just then, Chen Hao’s system chimed again.
[Ding! System mission triggered.]
[Hire assassins from ‘Asura Gate’ to eliminate members of the Destiny Association. Each kill rewards 500,000 Scam Points; severe injuries reward 100,000 Scam Points... Mission classification: Top Secret.]
Chen Hao’s eyes widened.
Holy shit, a huge mission!
Hiring assassins to kill Destiny Association members—50,000 Scam Points per head! This system was downright extravagant!
But soon, Chen Hao’s excitement cooled.
"The Destiny Association is full of my sworn brothers, my closest comrades..."
"You’ll have to pay more!"
[Ding. Take it or leave it. If you won’t do it, there are plenty of other hosts who will. System unbinding in progress...]
Chen Hao panicked. "I’ll do it, I’ll do it! Dad, please don’t unbind! I’ll take the mission!"
The mere thought of his system abandoning him terrified him. Since binding with the Scam System, his strength had skyrocketed.
But he’d also learned its core rule—he had to scam others relentlessly. If he stopped, the system would start scamming him instead!
With a "better them than me" mentality, he’d embarked on a path where friendship was impossible.
"Chen Hao, you need to tone it down. The entire headquarters is on edge because of you. In the last two months, two Children of Destiny have died from your schemes. Now, lower-ranked members tremble at the sight of you..."
Xu Rong sighed. As much as he hated to admit it, even he felt uneasy around Chen Hao sometimes.
You never knew when he’d stab you in the back. Sure, there were rewards afterward, but no one wanted a backstabber lurking around.
"Oh, right. The Pavilion Master recently made contact with the higher-ups from the ‘Earth Pavilion.’ In the coming months, gates across the world will loosen, and the headquarters may receive a few slots to bring members to the Upper Realm."
"The Pavilion Master recommended your system to the Earth Pavilion’s leaders. They’re very interested because the items in your system shop are of an exceptionally high tier—even surpassing the Earth Pavilion’s level. Your system has immense potential... Understand?"
Xu Rong’s words made Chen Hao suck in a sharp breath, his eyes burning with ambition.
His system... was of a higher tier?
That meant his ceiling was higher—his future limitless!
As expected, Chen Hao was truly destined for greatness!
"Chen Hao will not betray the headquarters’ trust and nurturing!"
"Yeah, yeah. Just scam me less, alright?" Xu Rong waved him off.
"Focus on improving your strength in the next two months. Ideally, reach Grandmaster-level cultivation or S-rank in your supernatural abilities..."
Chen Hao nodded eagerly, already fantasizing about scamming even more powerful figures in the Earth Pavilion.
The stronger the victim, the more Scam Points he’d earn!
For example, scamming the clairvoyant Yang Ming had only netted him 20,000 Scam Points.
But casually scamming Xu Rong had yielded 10,000. If he’d gotten Xu Rong killed? The payout would’ve started at six digits!
And if his targets were from the Earth Pavilion or Heaven Pavilion? He didn’t even dare imagine the profits.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
