Su Qi: "???"
"Is this it?"
He felt somewhat cheated out of his 220,000 points.
What a scam.
Weren’t they supposed to be at a 0.01% discount?
Does this look like a card worth 200 million Pleasure Points?
Was this some kind of reverse discount?
And there weren’t even any negative effects?
...
"Here."
Su Qi walked out of the bedroom and handed [Eternal Slumber Dragon: Abyss] to Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan carefully took the card, feeling its slight weight. A chilling sensation spread from her fingers through her entire body.
She blinked, looking at Su Qi with a hint of confusion.
"Brother, this card... feels so familiar."
Hum!
The card transformed into a streak of light and merged into her body.
"Familiar?"
Su Qi found it even stranger now.
No, he had to test it.
Otherwise, spending 220,000 points without knowing what he got would leave him uneasy.
"Can I try the card’s effects?"
Liu Yuan tilted her head slightly. Though she didn’t fully understand, she nodded obediently.
"Mm, whatever Brother says."
Her trust in Su Qi was almost blind.
Condition ③: 'Su Qi' must actively awaken it.
But how?
"Come forth, my trump card?"
"I choose you?"
Fortunately, it wasn’t that complicated.
Su Qi sensed a faint, thread-like connection.
He willed his soul energy to tug at it.
The next moment—
An indescribable, terrifying pressure abruptly descended!
Not from the outside, but erupting directly from within Liu Yuan’s body!
The temperature in the room plummeted by dozens of degrees in an instant, the air so heavy it felt suffocating.
The surrounding light seemed to freeze in an eerie stillness.
Under Liu Yuan’s feet, intricate frost patterns silently spread across the floor, radiating a soul-numbing chill.
This wasn’t just energy-induced oppression—it was an absolute, hierarchical suppression!
As if some supreme existence had slowly opened its eyes, indifferently surveying this insignificant world.
When [Abyss]’s aura fully manifested, Su Qi felt as if an invisible hand had clenched around his heart.
Terror.
Unspeakable terror.
It was the kind of power that could freeze time and space, annihilate all existence!
Su Qi had no doubt—if this force were unleashed completely, not just their neighborhood, but the entire Jiangxia would be wiped out in an instant!
[Name: Abyss]
[Type: Special]
[Rarity: Primordial]
[Energy Level: ? (1-Star)]
[Unique Passive: Dragonblood Lineage (Possesses most draconic traits)]
[Active Skill: Frost Flash]
[Active Skill: Gale Slash]
[Active Skill: Lament of Blood]
...
[Active Skill: Before Me, Will You Grovel... or Die with Dignity?]
[Active Skill: I Shall Rise from the Abyss of Death—None May Defy Me.]
Over three hundred skills nearly blinded Su Qi.
He had never seen such an absurd card before.
220,000 points...
Worth it.
So worth it!
This was practically a fire sale!
Su Qi quickly severed the mental link, stopping the awakening.
Based on his understanding, such a summoning effect likely lasted only briefly before requiring months or even years to recharge.
No point wasting it here.
Still, one thing puzzled him...
Every skill seemed excessively serious.
Where was the "Pleasure" effect?
You know, if not for his fear of Pleasure-related side effects, Su Qi wouldn’t have saved up so many points in the first place.
The terrifying pressure receded like a tide.
The frozen air resumed its flow.
The eerie dimness faded, and light returned to normal.
The frost patterns on the floor vanished like illusions, as if nothing had happened.
Su Qi then thought of another issue—didn’t this power defy basic energy conservation?
"Yuan’er, do you feel any discomfort or—"
"Nope~"
Hm?
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice.
Su Qi turned his gaze back to Liu Yuan.
She stood in place, her eyes still clear and bright, her voice soft and sweet as always.
But alarms blared in Su Qi’s mind.
Something was off.
Very off.
Though the overwhelming pressure had faded, it hadn’t disappeared entirely.
A faint trace still lingered within Liu Yuan.
"Yuan’er?" Su Qi tested cautiously.
"Mm?"
Liu Yuan tilted her head. "What is it, Brother?"
Her behavior seemed unchanged—still his silly little sister. But...
"Wanna spar?"
She leaned close, her warm breath brushing his ear. "Since Brother’s already played with one of my cards, why not try another?"
Su Qi tried to step back but found himself bound by invisible chains.
Was this the true manifestation of "Pleasure"?
Not a skill effect, but the sheer delight of its existence?
"Brother, what do you think are the traits of a dragon?"
"So hard to guess~"
...
In the living room, the light remained bright.
Perhaps this was retribution for Su Qi’s earlier forced sparring.
This time, he was the one being forced into a match.
Legends spoke of spearmasters reaching their peak by fighting their way in and out seven times.
Today, Su Qi shattered that record.
After eight close-quarters clashes, his pride—the 7th-tier weapon, [Path’s End Spear]—was ground beneath Liu Yuan’s foot, impossible to retrieve.
Su Qi felt like he was dying. Utterly defeated, his vision blurred.
Then, a trickle of icy, refined energy flowed through the spear into his body, replenishing his losses from the fight.
"Hmph, stupid Brother. Still dare to bully me?"
The jingling of bells declared the victor.
Su Qi suffered a 'fatal strike'—his soul sea trembling violently for a full twenty-three waves before finally calming.
[Dawn · VII · Pride: With newfound power, you crave a worthy opponent. A one-sided match holds no meaning.]
[‘Overwhelming Opponent’ Located (Completed)]
...
Everything was ready.
Now, all that remained was to wait for the Martial Exam to officially begin.
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!
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
