At the entrance of the Jiang residence.
["Young Master Jiang, please accept this humble one's bow!"]
The moment Lin Mu saw Jiang Che step outside, he immediately began fawning.
"Almost forgot about you."
Jiang Che glanced at Lin Mu, who still looked like a withered tree. If he had been reborn in a tropical rainforest, he might have been able to evolve through devouring. But under Jiang Che's watch... he’d probably remain a dead tree until the end!
Lin Mu clearly had the soul of a man. Having a man loitering at his doorstep?
Jiang Che found it downright unsettling!
Even though the estate was protected by a barrier formation, preventing Lin Mu from entering, and even though this plant-man no longer had the "tools" to cause trouble, Jiang Che still couldn’t stand the sight of him.
If Lin Mu had been a woman blessed with fortune... Jiang Che might have followed the example of the ancient calligrapher Wang Xizhi!
What? You ask how?
Ever heard of "leaving a lasting impression"?
"Lin Mu, right? Mind if I relocate you?"
["Huh? Relocate? To... to where?"]
Before Lin Mu could process the question, Jiang Che casually flicked his finger like a sword, slicing Lin Mu clean in half at the trunk!
["AHHH!!! My spine! My legs! My roots... Why kill me when I’ve been so submissive? I’ve done nothing to you... I was just standing at your door..."]
Lin Mu wailed miserably.
But the next second, his cries stopped.
Jiang Che had transplanted him into his storage space, where he had spent over a thousand points to purchase a small plot of mid-grade spirit soil.
A mere Son of Fortune like Lin Mu only deserved mid-grade spirit soil.
The moment his roots touched the soil, Lin Mu froze in shock.
["This... this is..."]
["Host, this is spirit soil. Young Master Jiang has transplanted you into spirit soil."]
With the system’s prompt, Lin Mu instantly erupted in excitement.
["I can feel it... so much spiritual energy... IT’S AMAZING!!!"]
Even in his euphoria, Lin Mu didn’t forget to thank Jiang Che.
["Young Master Jiang, I wronged you! From now on, you’re my savior, my second parent!"]
Jiang Che, however, couldn’t be bothered.
What he valued was Lin Mu’s ability!
A "Tree God Evolution System"—such Sons of Fortune were rare, and this one was especially easy to control.
...
Jiang Che took Lin Mu to the Jiang family’s forbidden grounds.
They entered the Cultivator Academy.
Finding an empty spot near the entrance, Jiang Che moved the spirit soil—and Lin Mu—out of his storage.
["My liege, where is this?"] Lin Mu asked, confused.
"You don’t need to know. Just focus on evolving here. When you’ve absorbed all the spiritual energy in the soil, come find me for more."
["Th-thank you, my liege, for sparing my life!"]
Honestly, Jiang Che felt like he was playing a sandbox nurturing game.
["Young Master Jiang..."]
Unlike the ungrateful whelps he’d encountered before, high-tier Sons of Fortune like Lin Mu were different.
Tears welled up in Lin Mu’s eyes, as if he were on the verge of crying. Since transmigrating to this world... aside from his idiot system, Jiang Che was the only one who had spoken to him.
[Ding! Host successfully absorbed a wisp of mid-grade spirit soil energy. +100 Evolution Points.]
[Ding! Host successfully absorbed a trace of ambient spiritual energy. +1 Evolution Point...]
He was genuinely moved!
Before, his absorption rate had been around 0.1. Now, it had multiplied hundreds of times!
Even without spirit soil, his evolution speed was dozens of times faster than before.

Ji Family Spiritual Herb Cultivation Headquarters.
The former Ji Corporation had undergone a complete transformation, leasing tens of thousands of acres of land to cultivate spiritual herbs for pill refining.
"Jiang Che, Xiao Chen is dead!"
In the office, Ji Ningxue couldn’t suppress her grin, her legs crossed on the sofa, her alluring figure sparking wild imaginations.
This beautiful CEO... was thoroughly ripe!
"I already knew. Ningxue-jie... your little deadbeat husband is gone. Why so happy?"
Jiang Che took a sip of tea, not missing the chance to tease her.
"Hah... How could I not be happy? That bastard actually hooked up with my mom? Who does he think he is?"
The thought of Xiao Chen living with her mother every day filled her with disgust.
Jiang Che stayed silent.
What he really wanted to say was: Ningxue-jie, maybe it wasn’t him seducing your mom, but your mom refusing to let go of him. To drain a Son of Fortune dry... your mother-in-law is something else.
"By the way, Ningxue-jie... when did your father pass away?"
Jiang Che deliberately brought it up.
Ji Ningxue frowned but didn’t dwell on it. "Oh... I never met my dad. He died less than three months after marrying my mom. I was born posthumously..."
Jiang Che’s lips twitched violently.
Cough... Well, that explains it!
Someone poisoned the well—no, wait... more like mother-in-law is just built different.
Even the legendary fox spirits who drained men’s vitality probably couldn’t compare.
"Jiang Che... I’ve never even seen what my dad looked like." Ji Ningxue suddenly sounded a little melancholic.
"So... so can you give me a baby? I want a complete family too!"
Her words nearly made Jiang Che lose his composure.
Ningxue-jie, your train of thought is... a bit too unconventional, no?
He wasn’t opposed to children, but Shen Yu was already pregnant. He didn’t want to end up with a horde of kids in the future...
He was an immortal, after all!
Right now, he could maintain his youthful appearance, but what about when his children grew up?
Would he still keep his boyish face? He’d have to change his appearance to that of a young man.
But Jiang Che refused to go beyond that—no middle-aged or old-man looks for him. He’d rather die.
"Oh? Ningxue-jie, why the sudden baby fever? Feeling unloved? Guess I’ll have to pamper you more!"
Ji Ningxue rolled her eyes. "You’re impossible..."
......
By midday.
Jiang Che and Ji Ningxue toured the spiritual herb fields.
Vast stretches of land, seemingly endless, all low-grade spirit soil—at least ten thousand acres!
Every inch was covered in spiritual herbs, tended not by humans but by robots.
Planting, harvesting, refining in alchemy furnaces, and finally producing pills...
The entire process was fully automated, requiring no human intervention.
"Xiao Che, this entire area is low-grade herb fields—15,000 acres, producing 36 furnaces of pills per month..."
Listening to Ji Ningxue’s report, Jiang Che nodded slightly.
Thirty-six furnaces, each yielding roughly three million pills. That meant a billion low-grade pills per month!
And this was just one field. Jiang Che had at least ten more just like it.
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!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

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.
