[Quest Reward: Card promoted to Tier 5 (Completed)]
The promotion adventure had failed again and again.
Liu Yuan never expected it would finally be completed through such a quest…
She focused her attention on the card.
Time to check what changes the promotion had brought.

Devour… non-everyday clothing?
Her mind involuntarily flashed back to the outfit she had "borrowed" from her brother’s room yesterday—
A fluffy, tailed fox cub cosplay set.
Now that she thought about it, that definitely fell under the category of "non-everyday clothing."
Her cheeks burned uncontrollably again.
Just imagining the design of that outfit made her toes curl.
But…
Liu Yuan clenched her fists.
For the sake of unlocking greater power!
She didn’t want to be a burden to her brother.
She wanted to be able to protect herself.
So, devouring was necessary.
Yes, that’s all there was to it.
As if convincing herself, Liu Yuan nodded firmly.
She returned to her room and pulled out an inconspicuous paper bag from under her bed.
Inside was the very set of fox cub cosplay that made her blush just thinking about it—complete with an adorable pair of fox ear headbands. The only thing missing was the tail, which was still with Su Qi, probably unrecoverable.
Would this still count as a complete set?
Liu Yuan spread the outfit on her bed.
Closing her eyes, she focused her mind.
The faintly glowing phantom of the card materialized in her palm.
Carefully, she guided the card to hover above the cosplay set.
Concentrating, Liu Yuan silently commanded, "Devour."
The card’s glow intensified slightly.
A nearly imperceptible stream of light extended from the card, gently brushing against the cosplay outfit.
For a fleeting moment, the clothing seemed to lose its "essence," its colors and texture turning hazy before returning to normal.
But Liu Yuan could clearly sense something being drawn away, absorbed into the card.
At the same time, the phantom card in her hand felt heavier, as if "full," its glow dimming slightly.
Did it work?
She immediately immersed her consciousness into the card.
Under the [Thousand Faces Infinite Transformations] description, the devour slots had clearly changed.
[Current devour slots: 1/2]
Beside this line, a small icon had appeared—a miniature version of the fox cub cosplay, labeled "Skin · Fox Cub Wife."
Success!
Which meant she could now manifest it anytime she wanted… and wear it?
No, no, no!
She shook her head violently, as if trying to fling the terrifying thought away.
This was purely for testing the card’s abilities!
Yes, nothing more!
It definitely wasn’t because she had any strange thoughts about such outfits!
Her gaze returned to the card’s information.
There was still one devour slot left…
She could still absorb one more non-everyday outfit.
Didn’t Su Qi have another set…?
No, absolutely not. That one was off-limits no matter what.
For now, maybe she should test the so-called ‘skin attributes’?
She needed to understand the specifics of this new power.
Know yourself and your tools—only then could she… better protect herself and avoid troubling her brother.
Right, that was the plan.
Focusing her mind again on the phantom card in her palm, the hazy glow grew slightly clearer under her will.
Hesitantly, she directed her consciousness toward the tiny fox cub icon.
[Activate Skin: Fox Cub Wife?]
The question appeared directly in her mind.
Liu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat.
Here it comes.
She closed her eyes, as if making a monumental decision.
[Yes.]
The moment the command was given, the phantom card in her palm trembled violently.
Then, it transformed into an indescribable, faintly seductive pink glow.
At the same time, a peculiar sensation spread through her entire body.
Not the overwhelming surge of strength, nor the weightless thrill of heightened speed.
Instead, it was… subtle. As if her coordination and senses had sharpened, becoming more… supple?
Liu Yuan hurriedly concentrated, checking the card’s current status.

ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
