Su Yang tilted his head, glanced over, and chuckled, “Hello.”
Hearing the voice, Jiali looked up at the doorway and immediately smiled, “Hello, Su-san!”
“Why didn’t you close the door?”
“It’s fine, it’s pretty quiet around here. I left it open to air the place out.”
“Alright, where does your friend Winnie stay?”
“She’s right across the hall from us.”
“Okay, how about the four of you joining us for dinner later?”
“Sure! But, would it be convenient?”
“What’s inconvenient about it? We’re all staying at the same hotel, and we’ve already met. Meeting someone makes them a friend, right? Eating together and chatting will liven things up.”
“That sounds good.” Jiali nodded with a smile.
“Alright, you get settled. I’ll head back to my room and rest a bit, then I’ll call you later.”
“Okay.” Su Yang turned to his own door, pulled out his key card, and prepared to open it.
But then he suddenly thought of Han Suyan—he’d been helping Ren Lingxi with her luggage earlier and hadn’t noticed where she was staying.
Just then, the door to Room 07 on his right opened, and Han Suyan stepped out.
‘Damn? She’s actually next door to me.’
“Hey? You’re staying next to me?” Han Suyan asked, looking at Su Yang standing by his door.
Su Yang smiled and said, “Yeah, I’m in Room 6.”
“What a coincidence. By the way, I’ve been wondering how to address you after all this time.” Han Suyan took a step forward and asked.
“My last name is Su, Su Yang.”
“Su Yang? I’m Han Suyan~”
“Suyan, that’s a pretty name. Where are you headed?”
“I’m going to my friend’s room to grab something.”
“Oh, okay. Go ahead then.”
“Alright.” Han Suyan smiled slightly and walked toward a room about ten meters across the hall.
Su Yang didn’t stare, opened his door, and went inside.
“Pretty much the same as always,” he muttered, pushing his suitcase over to the sofa before heading into the bathroom to use the toilet.
After coming out, he sat on the small balcony attached to his room to smoke.
[Ding, detected that the host is currently very relaxed and enjoying himself. Reward: 3,000,000]
Blowing out a puff of smoke, Su Yang called out in his mind.
—It’s been a while since I checked my stats. Let’s take a look.
[Host: Su Yang]
[Age: 24]
[Height: 180 cm]
[Weight: 78 kg]
[Appearance: 90]
[Physique: 96]
[Build: 90]
[Charm: 94]
[Combat Power: A-grade, 88]
[Skills: Body Management Master, Professional Racing Driver Proficiency, Golden Divine Body, Advanced Combat Skills, Alcohol God, Song God, Language Master, Regeneration (Level 2), Wilderness Survival Master, Culinary God, Instrument Master, Vehicle Repair Master]
[Bound Targets: Zhao Mengrou (Affection: 70), Lin Yiyi (Affection: 70), Gu Xiaoman (Affection: 70), Shen Yixue (Affection: 95), Lin Xiaomo (Affection: 80), Xinxiya (Affection: 40), Xia Li (Affection: 60), Ye Wan (Affection: 40), Jiang Mengyun (Affection: 60), Xia Zhiyu (Affection: 80), Jiang Yuxin (Affection: 60), Ren Lingxi (Affection: 60), Xu Zilin/Xu Zining (Affection: 90/15), Zhuang Mengli (Affection: 90), Qin Su (Affection: 20)]
[Balance: 1,257,595,966 yuan]
—Nice, this balance feels really reassuring.
—But with this rate of growth, becoming the world’s richest man seems a bit tough. Haha, whatever—I don’t care. My goal isn’t to become the richest man anyway.
—Enjoying life is the main theme of this lifetime!
As Su Yang looked at the bound targets on the virtual interface, something occurred to him.
—Oh, right, system!
[Here]
—I can manually unbind targets, right?
[Yes]
—Damn, I totally forgot about that. And you didn’t remind me either—you just told me to max out everyone else’s affection.
[After unbinding, re-binding is impossible for a short period. Please choose carefully, host.]
—What’s there to be careful about? It’s not like I’m breaking a contract. Let me see who I’ll remove first.
He looked at the virtual screen, and two names quickly caught his attention.
As soon as he saw those names, Su Yang said without hesitation in his mind.
—Remove Xinxiya and Ye Wan.
[Currently, both Xinxiya and Ye Wan have affection at 40, which still has plenty of room for growth. The host can still earn many rewards. Are you sure you want to unbind both?]
—Yes, especially Ye Wan. If I remember right, she was at 40 when I bound her, and she’s still at 40 now. I probably won’t have much to do with her going forward—she’s just taking up a slot. Unbind.
—Xinxiya, I did have a little something happen with her, but since then we haven’t stayed in touch. Unbinding doesn’t mean we can’t ever see each other again. I won’t miss just one person’s rewards. Unbind!
[Ding, unbinding successful. Current bound targets: 13. Remaining binding slots: 2]
—Alright, that’s that.
As he finished speaking, the virtual interface vanished.
“Good. Now I have two slots open, and I can bind with Han Suyan. Mainly because she’ll be staying in Magic City for a while. I’ll go ahead and bind her first.”
—System, bind Han Suyan.
[Ding, binding successful. Han Suyan’s affection for the host: 10]
“Ah!”
Suddenly, a faint cry came from the room next door, but Su Yang was too focused on his conversation with the system to pay much attention.
Two minutes later, a thumping knock sounded at the door.
Su Yang turned his head and called out, “Who is it?”
“Aryeo-aseyo, Su Yang, it’s me, Han Suyan.”
‘Oh? Just bound her and she’s already coming to find me?’
Su Yang stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and stood up to head for the door. “Coming.”
A few seconds later, the door opened. A gentle breeze blew from behind Han Suyan, carrying a subtle, elegant perfume into his nostrils.
“Hello, you’re looking for me?” Su Yang asked, looking at Han Suyan.
Han Suyan scratched her head and nodded. “Sorry to bother you, Su Yang. Um... it’s like this. I opened the window in my room to let some air in, but...”
“But what?”
“What a coincidence—as soon as I opened the window, a bird flew in...”
“A bird?” Su Yang said, startled.
“Yes. I’m not sure what kind it was. I’ve been scared of winged animals since I was little, so... could I trouble you to help me...”
Before Han Suyan could finish, Su Yang understood what she meant. He smiled and said, “You want me to help you get the bird out of the room, right?”
“Mm-hmm. Is that okay?”
“Of course. It’s a small thing. Let’s go take a look.”
“Gamsahamnida.” Seeing Su Yang agree so readily, Han Suyan immediately bowed in gratitude.
Su Yang waved his hand. “Hey, no need to be so polite. It’s no big deal. Let’s head to your room first.”
“Okay.” Han Suyan, full of gratitude, led Su Yang to her room.
But after he stepped inside, she remained standing at the doorway.
“Aren’t you coming in?”
“I’m a bit...”
“Oh, I see. Where’s the bird?”
Han Suyan pointed toward the bedside near the window and said, “It seems to be on the floor by the window.”
“Okay.” Su Yang nodded and quickly walked over to the bed. As soon as he reached the bedside, he saw a bird with a patch of red on its head lying on the floor, appearing to be somewhat injured.
The bird was slightly large; even without spreading its wings, it looked to be about 20 to 25 centimeters long. No wonder Han Suyan was scared.
“Huh? Looks like it’s half-dead.”
—System, what kind of bird is this?
[White-backed Woodpecker, scientific name: White-backed Woodpecker, Hokkaido subspecies]
“Oh, right, it’s a woodpecker. A good bird.”
He muttered as he stepped forward, crouching down and reaching out to grab it.
But the moment his hand extended, the woodpecker on the floor flapped its wings frantically, trying to escape.
“Don’t struggle, don’t struggle. I’m not going to eat you. Easy now,” Su Yang said as he grabbed the bird’s body and lifted it up.
Standing by the door, Han Suyan clutched her chest and instinctively took two steps back.
Su Yang turned to look at her with a smile. “Don’t be scared. It’s a woodpecker, not a hawk. It probably fell in here because it’s hurt.”
“Hurt?”
“Yeah, otherwise it would’ve flown out on its own. It’s fine. Come here.”
Han Suyan swallowed nervously and tiptoed into the room.
Su Yang held the bird in his right hand while gently stroking the red feathers on its head with his left.
After a couple of strokes, he flipped open the bird’s wings to check for injuries but found none.
“Su Yang, just let it out quickly,” Han Suyan said, not daring to get too close.
“Sure.” Su Yang nodded and walked to the balcony, vaulting over the railing.
Outside, the yard was enclosed by a wall, and beyond the wall lay a maple forest. He raised the woodpecker in his hand and released it upward. The bird, now free, flapped its wings with effort and wobbled unsteadily toward the woods.
“Done.” Su Yang said, vaulting back into the room.
Seeing the bird had flown away, Han Suyan immediately stepped forward to close the balcony window. Then she looked at Su Yang, bowed deeply, and said with gratitude, “Thank you, Su Yang.”
“Get up, get up. I told you not to be so polite. It was nothing.”
“It’s nothing for you, but for me it was terrifying. I’m really scared of birds like that.”
“Haha, I doubt any more birds will fly in. If you’re worried, just keep the window cracked a little.”
“Okay.” Han Suyan nodded at Su Yang.
[Ding, detected that Han Suyan’s favorability toward the host has increased to 30. Reward: 6 million]

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.
