You said you hated men, why are your eyes now full of love?
Ch. 106 - "Oh, It's Fox Lady!" (Part 3)

After staying up all night without sleeping, a wave of deep exhaustion came crashing in now that everything had finally settled down.

Even a computer that's been running nonstop needs to be shut down and restarted for half an hour, let alone a person.

Utterly drained, Ji Mu seized the opportunity to slip away with an excuse, planning to head home and enjoy a long, well-deserved nap.

...

A luxury sedan slowly pulled up in front of the apartment building. The uniformed chauffeur stepped out and opened the door.

Ji Mu nodded in thanks.

"Take care, young master!"

The chauffeur's loud and respectful voice rang out behind him, full of deference.

The conspicuous scene drew the attention of passersby, who couldn't help but glance over repeatedly. Their eyes flicked between the luxurious car, radiating wealth and taste, and the young man's strikingly handsome face.

In an instant, many of them wore expressions that were hard to read.

Just moments ago, Ji Mu had been enjoying the fleeting taste of luxury that came with being part of a wealthy household. But now, his steps faltered.

Realizing that all eyes were on him, he felt a chill crawl up his spine.

Never thought I'd live to see the day I'd be labeled a kept man, folks.

If he turned back now to explain that he and the "silly goose" were just friends, it would probably only make things worse, given the typical tropes of female-oriented web novels.

For now, he chose to ignore it.

He appeared calm and composed on the surface as he walked into the apartment building, but his pace had noticeably quickened.

[What are you panicking for? Isn't it great to show off a little in public? You weren't this nervous when you gave that speech on stage.]

The System waggled its eyebrows at him.

"It's not the same," Ji Mu replied, not entertaining its teasing.

"You said that each time I successfully help a female lead overcome her aversion to men, I unlock another skill bundle, right?"

Ji Mu spread his hands, asking directly for his reward.

"So, where's the bundle?"

This world wasn't as simple as it seemed. With subhuman races and ancient martial artists involved, the dangers ahead would only grow more intense.

Even though Ancient Evil Lai was powerful, he had severe limitations. If another enemy appeared right after his transformation ended and caught him in the weakened cooldown phase, he'd be finished.

At this point, securing another powerful trump card was the only viable option. Only then could he head to Jiangcheng with peace of mind and focus on his second mission.

[Yeah, yeah, I got it--stop rushing me.]

Great, the debt collector had arrived.

The System muttered under its breath, clearly reluctant.

After all, once these skills were drawn, they'd be permanently bound to the host's soul and would never disappear.

Even if he returned to Blue Star and was resurrected later, the skills would still be usable.

They were incredibly precious consumables.

[Host, I've pulled up the panel. You draw it yourself.]

Though reluctant, the System had to admit that this time, the boy had truly earned it.

Since it prided itself on being fair with rewards and punishments, it couldn't disappoint its most loyal servant.

As it finished speaking, a faint blue-violet glow lit up suddenly.

Countless tiny light particles gathered into a virtual screen suspended in midair before him.

Images and text intertwined, and Ji Mu's ID photo appeared clearly on the interface.

He took a moment to glance at his detailed profile.

,,,

[Name: Ji Mu]

[Age: 16]

[Stamina: 60]

[Kidney Power: 60]

[Charm: 90]

[Skill: Ancient Evil Lai]

[Equipment: Dragon Replacement Glasses]

[Comment: You're a bright and sunny boy who satisfies all kinds of fetishes – hand, voice, appearance, leg, and more – a living embodiment of every kind of "type".]

"...?"

He knew he had the potential to be a "male idol," but was it necessary for them to go out of their way to write such a comment?

What's with all the "type" and fetishes? Can't they just speak plainly? It's just about being attracted to someone's body. How lowly and shameless!

Ruined by a group of women with nothing but dirty thoughts in their heads? Hilarious.

"There's no way I'd ever—wait a second."

Just as he was about to make a bold declaration, Ji Mu's gaze landed on a certain term inadvertently. He froze for a moment, the corner of his mouth twitching.

"What the hell does 'Kidney Power Value' mean?"

"Oh, that? I don't think I need to explain it, do I, Host?"

The system flashed a lewd grin that every man would understand.

"The higher your Kidney Power Value, the longer you can last in that department. Better stamina, better endurance."

A healthy adult male usually has a Kidney Power Value of 50, meaning both kidneys are functioning within a healthy range.

So...

[Didn't expect this, did you, host? A natural 60 points. Tsk, tsk, big tool; great performance.]

That was enough to satisfy someone like Ruan Qingqing, the ultimate Juice Queen. Of course, throw in a second Juice Queen, and not even he would be able to hold up.

"Say whatever you want."

Ji Mu couldn't care less.

He was destined to become a great archmage.

His gaze shifted to the side.

The Skill Roulette appeared, with each slot containing a unique skill icon.

The innermost ring shimmered with golden light and was home to ultra-rare, SSR-tier skills with a mere 0.08% chance of being drawn.

Ji Mu took a few deep breaths to steady himself.

He wasn't a gambling addict, but he'd never lost a bet.

This time, too, Lady Luck, please stay with me.

[Ready, Host?]

"Let's do this!"

He pressed down his finger.

The roulette wheel began to spin.

Its speed increased gradually, accompanied by a deep, resonant whirrrrr.

Half a minute passed.

Golden light burst through the room. Ji Mu clenched his fist. Only two words echoed in his heart:

It's done!

As for his ever-reliable system, it reacted just as expected: mouth agape and eyes glazed over as if it had just suffered a stroke.

[Huh?!]

…Hit the jackpot again???

Just shut it down already. This isn't fun anymore.

Ji Mu said nothing, maintaining the air of a seasoned master.

Let's say it one more time:

The power of the Luck Emperor is real, system!

The activated rune transformed into a streak of golden light and merged with his body.

[Skill: Regal Attire Calms the Storm]

[Skill Description:]

[Effect 1 (Passive): Upon acquiring this skill, Kidney Power increases by 10 points.]

[Effect 2 (Active): For one hour, stamina increases by an additional 40 points. After the effect ends, there is a two-hour cooldown period. Does not trigger a post-use weakened state debuff.]

[Effect 3 (Passive): (Due to the host's intelligence and charisma reaching the upper threshold for skill augmentation, this effect has been upgraded to:) Unyielding Spear, Infinite Zhuge Repeater, no cooldown.]

[Skill Overview:]

"When I'm drunk, I rest on a beautiful woman's lap. When I'm awake, I have power over the world."

The Emperor may lack the prowess to pleasure ten women in one night… but I do.

…

[Active Skill Trigger Condition:]

Must be equipped with custom-tailored Wenwu Sleeves (Warrior-Scholar Cuffs).

…

[Caution:]

This skill is incompatible with the Dragon Replacement Glasses trait.

Remove the glasses to activate the skill.

…

[Commentary:]

You're already wearing Wenwu Sleeves, why are you still hiding behind those dead man's glasses?

This isn't the time for shadowy elegance. Fight like the coolest badass. Be the flashiest guy in the room. Stand tall, and be utterly, devastatingly handsome for once, damn it!

…

[Yoho, not bad at all.]

Green with envy, the system started getting snarky.

[With 70 points of Kidney Power, you might just barely have enough ammo to satisfy two Ultimate Juice Queens.]

"You're insane."

Glancing at his character stats, Ji Mu saw that his Kidney Power had been updated from 60 to 70.

His face darkened.

This new skill feels anything but proper.

They even threw in "Unyielding Spear" and "No-CD Zhuge Repeater"... seriously?

The worst part? He wasn't interested in that kind of stuff.

It was totally useless to him.

Since both passive skills were useless to him, only the active skill held any real value.

It provided an extra 40 points of stamina with no post-use fatigue. During its effect, his strength reached the peak level of ancient martial artists in this world, offering an incredibly high cost-performance ratio.

The catch? He had to wear the Wenwu Sleeves, which had to be custom-made.

A bit of a hassle…

"Emmm..."

Forget it. What's done is done. Time to sleep.
