Chapter 767: Chapter 767: He Might Die Right Where He Stands

Shi Yaoguang expressed her full agreement with Quan Jinbei’s speculation, "Eighty percent, it’s like that."

"The existence of the Strategy System is to extract luck from people, and the Fan Yanshu should be pretty much the same."

Quan Jinbei’s face turned somber, "Why do you think the System has made you a target to conquer?"

Shi Yaoguang knew this.

"Logically, I’m now the center of this little world, so the System probably sees me as the Heavenly Dao’s leading lady," she said.

Seeing her as the Heavenly Dao’s leading lady, it let Fan Yanshu, who was the host, try to conquer her.

And thus obtain the luck from her.

A look of disdain appeared on Quan Jinbei’s face, "Whether or not Fan Yanshu has the System, he should know that you are a married woman."

What skill is it to target a married woman?

Shi Yaoguang simply shrugged, "Who knows?"

If the System actually had any bottom lines, it wouldn’t issue conquest tasks to suck away others’ luck.

As for Fan Yanshu...

It’s just unclear whether he’s a native or a host who has experienced transmigration.

Logically, with the existence of such a Strategy System, the host should be someone who has crossed over.

The host directly took over Fan Yanshu’s body, thus using him as a medium to complete the conquest tasks.

...

While Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei were analyzing the intricacies of Fan Yanshu, he wasn’t idle either.

He is now busily preparing to buy the Eternal Star System.

Although he has a strong distaste for someone like Shi Yaoguang and cannot agree with her gold-digging behavior.

But there’s nothing to be done.

After all, he’s the person who needs to be conquered, isn’t he?

Knowing that he has to conquer Shi Yaoguang and clearly expressing how to do it in a face-to-face conversation, if he doesn’t continue with the script provided by Shi Yaoguang, he would be unable to complete his mission.

After all, Shi Yaoguang hinted before she left.

He’s not even friends with her yet.

To become her friend, he must gift her a set of jewels from the Eternal Star System.

Only by gifting the jewels would he have the chance to become her friend and actually move on to the next step.

Otherwise, let alone conquering, he would graduate without any renown.

But...

He really isn’t willing, though.

All for a vain and materialistic woman!!

Eventually, he still felt he couldn’t overcome his inner barrier and couldn’t help asking the System, "System, can I give up this conquest task?"

"Why do you want to give up this task?" the System couldn’t understand.

Fan Yanshu expressed his speechlessness to the System.

He truly couldn’t do it.

Materialistic and vain people, they either have suffered a broken heart, or they have clear goals.

No matter which type Shi Yaoguang is, he sees not much difference because he can’t afford to provoke her either way.

The best method? Give up on the conquest.

The System fell silent.

After a long while, the electronic voice said, "After system analysis, Shi Yaoguang is the most suitable conquest target in this world, are you sure you don’t want to choose her?"

"I’m sure!" Fan Yanshu said firmly, "Give me another conquest target!"

The System’s electronic voice crackled twice, "I’m sorry, host, but there is no second conquest target available in this world."

Upon hearing this, Fan Yanshu was a bit stunned, "What do you mean there’s no second conquest target?"

There are so many outstanding women in this world, why is Shi Yaoguang the only one available to be conquered?

To this question, even the System was unclear.

In fact, the System was also curious why everyone else could complete their conquest, but only Shi Yaoguang couldn’t.

Although it was curious, the System wouldn’t force the issue if it couldn’t figure out what was going on.

Often, knowing too much isn’t necessarily a good thing.

This, as an unfeeling System, it knew too well.

Unfortunately, Fan Yanshu didn’t have such high enlightenment as the System.

He could pursue Shi Yaoguang for profit, yet he was unwilling to tolerate her pretended innocence and materialism.

To his resolve, the System had only one response.

"The only female that can be conquered in this world: Shi Yaoguang."

"Should the host choose to give up the conquest, the System reserves the right to unbind from the host and select a new host willing to carry out the task."

The System’s attitude wasn’t very forceful, but... fundamentally, it was making a clear point.

That is...

Not conquering is fine.

But choosing not to conquer comes at a cost.

And the price he had to pay was to unbind from the System.

After unbinding from the System, any benefits he received from it would be reset to zero.

Which means.

He would lose everything he possessed.

He was bound to the System in a Soul State, and unbinding would mean he would die on the spot.

Having understood the System’s intention, Fan Yanshu couldn’t help but complain, "System, aren’t you being too inconsiderate? After all, we worked together for a while. Why can’t you be a little flexible?"

"I am sorry, host, but the System doesn’t have that privilege," the System said coldly.

Fan Yanshu rolled his eyes, "You don’t have that privilege, yet all you do is threaten to unbind from me!"

System: "If the host has complaints about the System’s actions, please feel free to inform the System."

Fan Yanshu clicked his tongue, "And if I tell you, are you going to change?"

"No," the System’s electronic voice was very calm, "The System will choose to unbind from the host."

Fan Yanshu: "..."

This was truly frustrating.

Once Fan Yanshu was certain the System would not help him change his target for conquest, he had no choice but to swallow his dissatisfaction and tirelessly find out about the Eternal Star System jewelry set.

The Fan Family initially thought Fan Yanshu’s inquiries about the jewelry set were just out of personal interest.

They assumed it would end once he had made his inquiries since not everything needed to be owned.

Who knew, after his inquiries, Fan Yanshu actually prepared to buy the set.

This was like stirring a hornet’s nest.

"Fan Yanshu, do you have any idea how much that jewelry set costs? How much money do you have on you? If you buy the jewelry, you’ll be so poor that all you have left are shares! Even if you are a shareholder and the company pays dividends at the end of the year, that’s no excuse for your extravagance!"

Fan Yanshu’s mother went straight to him, sternly ordering him to abandon the irrational act of purchasing the Eternal Star System set.

Regarding this, Fan Yanshu could only refuse with tears in his eyes.

"Mom, I really love that jewelry set. I must buy it."

Seeing Fan Yanshu’s unrepentant attitude, his mother was powerless and could only say, "I have already warned you. You had better think it over clearly before you decide, or else, if you regret it in the future, I won’t help you."

The Eternal Star System jewelry set might have a good reputation.

But it was no different from other jewelry.

Let alone spending a ten-figure sum on it.

Moreover, buying it from someone else also involved a premium.

Fan Yanshu knew all this, but he was helpless.

Even if he knew there was a pit ahead, he could only jump into it.

Soon, word of the young master of the Fan Family trying to buy the Eternal Star System set spread throughout the upper echelons.
