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!

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

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.
