Mission Reward: Sincerity Begets Blessings!
The sudden task that flashed in Li Ming's mind forced him to swallow the refusal he was about to voice.
Not this again! Every time a situation like this arose, the system would intervene, compelling him to accept—and the penalties for failing were always severe. This time, it threatened to cut off all his social connections and turn everyone against him. It was clearly targeting his weakness, coercing him into submission.
While Li Ming seethed silently at the system's punishments and manipulations, Yang Yang, hearing no objection from him, assumed his silence meant consent and had already submerged herself in the water.
"Dr. Yang..."
Before Li Ming could finish, Yang Yang didn’t give him a chance to speak...
Dong Wentao, stationed at the stairwell, was far from Li Ming's room, but in the quiet corridor...
He exchanged a glance with the fellow prison guard on duty, both lowering their heads in reluctant resignation. Pulling out his phone, he scrolled through their old class group chat—57 members in total. Yet he distinctly remembered their class had 58. The only one missing was Li Ming.
Skimming the chat logs, some classmates were venting about their exploitative bosses, others bragging about their prestigious careers, and a few were thriving as entrepreneurs.
Dong Wentao desperately wanted to ask in the group: "Do you all remember Li Ming? The invisible heartthrob of our class? Now he’s the prison warden—and at this very moment, in the room next to me, he’s with the woman I’ve longed for but could never have... And... AND he’s got me standing guard for him! Can you believe it?!"
He roared inwardly, but his fingers remained frozen over the screen.
Why? Because the man in that room wasn’t him. Because Li Ming was the warden.
He was just a lowly prison guard, likely stuck in this prison for life. If he dared disrupt Li Ming’s... enjoyment, and word got back to Warden Huang Feihu, his career would be over before it even began.
This job—decent, respectable—was something he’d pulled strings to secure. He wouldn’t throw away his future so recklessly.
Gritting his teeth, Dong Wentao pocketed his phone. Without a word, he and the other guard retreated into separate rooms.
Much later...
Li Ming examined the rewards from his completed mission.
"Ahem... You’ve worked hard, Dr. Yang," Li Ming said coolly, though reflecting on their earlier frenzy, he felt a twinge of guilt toward her.
"My efforts are nothing, as long as you’re satisfied, Warden Li." Yang Yang stretched lazily, savoring the afterglow.
"Satisfied? Of course I am."
Li Ming felt invigorated, his mind sharper than ever. The alcohol from the afternoon had long burned away during their... vigorous activities. He had to admit, Huang Feihu knew exactly how to play people.
Sending a woman his way without fanfare—even Li Ming had fallen for it. Of course, Yang Yang’s status, figure, and looks played no small part. Most men wouldn’t have stood a chance.
"Dr. Yang, there’s no one else here. No need for formalities—just call me Li Ming." He sat beside her with a faint smile.
"Alright then, Li Ming! Don’t mind if I do!" She shifted slightly, making room for him.
"What about Keyan? Is she settled?" Li Ming suddenly remembered Wang Keyan, the woman he’d brought along. He wondered if she’d heard Yang Yang’s... enthusiastic contributions earlier.
"Don’t worry. She’s asleep in my room on the top floor. No one can get up there except me—safe and sound, and completely unaware of any... noise." Yang Yang gave him a knowing smile.
"Good. But... I’m curious. Why are you so... obedient to Huang Feihu? If it’s too personal, forget I asked."

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.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!
