After breakfast, Jiang Che finally found some free time to check out the newly acquired rewards in his possession.
[Strongest Pretentious System Source Code]
[System analysis has deconstructed Ye Liangchen's 'Strongest Pretentious System' and obtained its source code, granting you a 'Pretentious System.']
[Ding! Host has acquired the source code. Would you like to integrate the Pretentious System's functions into the current system?]
"No integration!"
Jiang Che refused without hesitation. From the system's introduction, he had learned that this Pretentious System was practically useless—successfully showing off would yield minimal rewards, while failing would result in penalties!
What kind of scam system was this? Only a fool would bind with it!
Still, Jiang Che kept it anyway—who would complain about having more tools at their disposal?
Later, he could use this 'Pretentious System' to artificially create a loyal "Chosen One" under his control and infiltrate the Association of the Fated...
Just imagining the future, where the entire Association of the Fated would be filled with his own people, made Jiang Che let out a sinister chuckle.
"President, give it up. Everyone outside is Jiang Che's man!"
At that moment, a graceful white figure entered Jiang Che's line of sight.
Su Mianmian, now in human form, was cradling a little orange kitten in her arms. The kitten playfully pawed at Su Mianmian's white hair, thoroughly amused.
"Jiang Che, don’t tell me you’re having dirty thoughts about this little kitten?"
Su Mianmian sat down beside Jiang Che, stroking the fur of the kitten, Huangdoufen (Yellow Bean Powder), with both hands.
Jiang Che glanced sideways. "Heh, guess?"
Su Mianmian rolled her eyes. She could tell exactly what he was thinking just from that look—how could she not understand this old pervert?
"You’re such a creep! She’s just a six-month-old kitten!"
As she spoke, Su Mianmian gently patted Huangdoufen’s tiny head.
"Su Mianmian, don’t slander me like that. I’m not as twisted as you think."
"Oh yeah, sure—you’re even worse than I imagined."
Jiang Che sighed, then spent 1,000 points in the system shop to exchange for an 'Enlightenment Fruit.'
After the system upgrade, many new features had been added, and earning points was as simple as scamming the Chosen Ones.
Today was the perfect opportunity to use them.
[Enlightenment Fruit: Grants intelligence to animals, elevating them to spiritual beasts and gradually unlocking human-like cognition...]
The moment Jiang Che took out the fruit, Huangdoufen excitedly leaped out of Su Mianmian’s arms.
Su Mianmian stared at the fruit in shock—her sharp intuition told her this was no ordinary item.
Jiang Che didn’t immediately feed it to Huangdoufen, though.
"This Enlightenment Fruit can help Huangdoufen evolve into a spiritual beast, gradually giving her intelligence comparable to humans. Of course, it won’t happen overnight. Think of it as raising a daughter or a little sister, huh?"
Su Mianmian was speechless.
"You really are a pervert! Are you seriously planning to raise her like some kind of pet project?"
Her eyes were filled with disdain—this man was truly despicable!
The kitten had no intelligence, so he was going to force-feed her an Enlightenment Fruit to develop her mind. Then, after giving her a Human Transformation Pill, he’d end up with a wife?
Jiang Che chuckled, stroking Huangdoufen’s head before feeding her the fruit.
With an "Awoo!" the fruit was gone in an instant.
Huangdoufen licked her lips, blinking at Jiang Che as if to say, "More, please!"
The effects of the Enlightenment Fruit were gradual—slowly awakening her spirit and intellect.
Su Mianmian wasn’t wrong—this was indeed a "raising" project!
Who could resist the charm of an adorable cat girl they personally nurtured?
[You’re seriously twisted...]
"Thanks for the compliment!"
[Gah—I almost forgot this guy can eavesdrop on thoughts.]
......
Chen Hao’s efficiency was impressive—he quickly found the organization he was looking for.
The Association of the Fated.
Before him stood several figures clad in black robes, their identities shrouded in mystery.
"You’re Chen Hao?"
Nervously, Chen Hao nodded. "Yes, that’s me."
"You claim... you have a system?"
Mention of the system made Chen Hao’s breath hitch. This was a strategy his system had taught him—by flaunting his abilities online, someone would inevitably seek him out.
So, over the past few days, while reading novels, he had left ten thousand comments, bragging about his system.
Sure enough, someone soon reached out, inviting him to join the Association of the Fated.
Now, he was meeting this mysterious organization in person.
Another black-robed figure flipped through Chen Hao’s profile and frowned.
"Chen Hao, eldest son of the ancient martial arts Chen family. Has a younger sister. Initial cultivation level: mid-stage Dark Force. Within a year, worked as a security guard for seven companies. Current strength: early-stage Grandmaster..."
Then, he lifted his gaze to scrutinize Chen Hao.
"It sounds like a master descending the mountain? But it also seems like a security guard trope? Is your system about getting stronger by being a security guard?"
Chen Hao blinked in confusion.
"No... my system is actually a scam—" Chen Hao almost blurted out 'Scam God System,' but he quickly reconsidered.
Wasn't his mission to trick these people from the Chosen Ones Association?
If he confessed now, wouldn’t they become wary of him?
How could he keep scamming them then?
"Ahem... my system is called the 'Ultimate Friendship and Helping Others System,'"
After thinking for a while, Chen Hao made up a name on the spot.
The interrogator was completely baffled. He took off his glasses, revealing a surprisingly youthful face beneath the black robe.
Clearly, those who could join the Chosen Ones Association were no ordinary people—over ninety percent were Children of Fortune, and all of them had been disciplined into composure, unlikely to smirk recklessly.
"Ultimate... Friendship and Helping Others System??? So, a hookup system?"
Hearing the young man’s words, Chen Hao nearly lost his composure.
"My system’s function is to make friends far and wide, help others... and earn points based on the emotional reactions of others. The stronger the reaction, the more points I get. Points can be exchanged for rewards in the system store."
Chen Hao’s explanation made Su Ye’s eyes light up. "Points for rewards?"
Such systems were usually considered top-tier within the Association.
After all, as long as you had points, you could milk the system dry!
The Chosen Ones Association would spare no expense to cultivate individuals like this—giving them whatever they needed to rack up points, exchange rewards, and then split the profits.
But then, another black-robed figure beside Su Ye suddenly stood up.
Pointing a finger at Chen Hao, he declared, "You’re lying!"

lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...

ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
