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!

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
