Jiang Che held Chen Ningshuang in his arms, listening to the fawning voice of Chen Hao on the phone. Suddenly, a wild idea popped into his mind.
Had Chen Hao just lost his protagonist aura? In other words, had the heavens abandoned him as the chosen one?
And now that he had just obtained a customizable system... what if he installed it on Chen Hao? Would the guy regain his status as a protagonist? If it actually worked, wouldn’t that mean he could keep milking his brother-in-law for all he was worth?
Not only that, but a system-equipped Chen Hao could infiltrate the "Chosen Ones Association" and stir up trouble from within!
At this point, Chen Hao had clearly submitted completely—no more rebellious tendencies. And after all, he was family now. Jiang Che didn’t mind giving him a brief moment of fortune.
Before Jiang Che could act, Chen Ningshuang grew impatient.
"Brother! Don’t call me for no reason from now on. I’m going to cultivate... goodbye!"
Clearly, she had little patience left for her brother.
With so many women around Jiang Che, her time to cultivate with him was already limited. Thanks to Chen Hao’s interruption, she’d lost another twenty minutes! Twenty minutes that could’ve been spent happily cultivating multiple times.
After the call ended, Chen Hao was left utterly stunned.
Where had his sweet, obedient sister gone?
Once, he had been the most trusted elder brother in her eyes. Now? In her eyes, he wasn’t even worth a blade of grass.
Pain... such pain!
And then—
A mechanical voice echoed in his ears.
[Ding! The Ultimate Scam God System has found its host. Will you bind with it?]
Chen Hao: "???"
What the hell?
Ultimate Scam God System???
But soon, excitement flashed in his eyes.
He zeroed in on one word: System!
Though he’d spent most of his life secluded in the ancient martial Chen family, cut off from the modern world, ever since entering society, he’d spent 90% of his time working as a security guard.
And what did security guards have in abundance?
Time!
Over the years, he’d become obsessed with web novels, racking up over 10,000 hours of reading—truly terrifying!
So the word "system" was anything but unfamiliar to him.
"System? What kind of functions do you have?" he asked, rubbing his hands like a fly. This was his heaven-sent opportunity!
[Ding! This system is called the Ultimate Scam God System. The host must continuously make friends, then scam them—friends, allies, anyone who can be scammed—to earn Scam Points. These points can be exchanged for rewards in the system shop.]
Chen Hao’s breath hitched. He immediately checked the system shop, and what he saw nearly made his heart stop.
Treasures. Countless treasures, many of which he’d never even heard of—but all required exorbitant amounts of Scam Points.
"Scam Points..."
"Can I scam anyone?"
[Of course not. The host must follow system tasks. Only designated targets will yield Scam Points.]
"Ohhh... I see."
Chen Hao nodded. For a brief moment, the first person he thought of scamming was his own sister.
After all, ever since he’d submitted to Jiang Che and let loose, he’d done plenty of shady things to her.
The second target that came to mind? Jiang Che himself.
"So how do I get system tasks?" he asked eagerly, already itching to start scamming.
[Ding! Searching for system targets... Ding! Search complete!]
[Host must locate and join the "Chosen Ones Association." Estimated Scam Points: Massive.]
"Chosen Ones Association?"
A brand-new term for him.
[Ding! Temporary task triggered: Find and join the "Chosen Ones Association." Reward: One Millennium Vermilion Fruit.]
Chen Hao’s eyes nearly bulged out of his skull, his breathing turning ragged.
He had no idea what this Chosen Ones Association was, but just joining it would net him a Millennium Vermilion Fruit?
He’d heard legends about Vermilion Fruits. His cultivation was stuck at the late-stage of Transforming Force. If he consumed one, he could break through to the Grandmaster realm in just two months!
He was sold.
......
Clearly, Jiang Che worked fast. The "Ultimate Scam God System" was his handiwork.
And once again, he chose to remain behind the scenes.
After all, the Chosen Ones Association already had their eyes on him. With Chen Ningshuang as the link, they’d definitely be wary of Chen Hao.
"But exploiting loopholes won’t work anymore..."
Jiang Che shook his head slightly.
Chen Hao had lost his qualifications as a protagonist. Even with a system, he couldn’t regain that status.
Jiang Che had originally planned to mass-produce protagonists using his customizable system, then reap the benefits himself. But now, that plan was dead on arrival.
"Well, brother-in-law, it’s all up to you now."
Jiang Che grinned deviously. With this Scam God System, Chen Hao would scam other protagonists, while Jiang Che scammed Chen Hao.
What was this move called? The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Of course, Chen Hao was still family. Jiang Che wouldn’t deny him some opportunities.
Sure, sending him alone into the den of protagonists was risky—but high risk meant high reward!
Suddenly, a pair of slender arms wrapped around his neck, and a coquettish voice whispered in his ear.
"Daydreaming again?"
Jiang Che smirked, his lips curling slightly.
......
The night passed.
Chen Ningshuang’s strength had improved again. Jiang Che hadn’t lied—he really could transmit martial insights to her!
As everyone knew, there was only one shortcut to success.
It could transmit viruses, degrees, titles, wealth, even power. And now, Jiang Che had added martial insights and cultivation to the list.
Morning sunlight spilled onto the balcony.
Su Mianmian, in human form, lounged lazily on a recliner, her pale silver hair strikingly vivid.
In the vast garden, several cute maids in frilly outfits trimmed the greenery, occasionally playfully teasing each other.
This was the true meaning of a "golden cage hiding a beauty."
As Jiang Che descended the stairs, he ran into Gu Lingfei, who was hastily adjusting her heels.
She was dressed in her usual coldly elegant office attire.
Clearly, the CEO was running late for work.
Did a female CEO really need to clock in?
Absolutely!
Jiang Che didn’t say anything. Women like Gu Lingfei were career-driven—their companies were like their children.
He wasn’t in a hurry. With his life-extending pills, time meant nothing to him.
Gu Lingfei, too, now had a long lifespan. What harm was there in letting her play around for a few decades?
Who knows, perhaps half of the future business empire on Blue Star will be built by Gu Lingfei.
As for the other half... well, that would naturally belong to his other little sweetheart, Leng Ningqiu!
Given their capabilities, it might just happen!

ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
