[Ding! System evolution in progress... Evolution successful—'Infinite Evolution System' has been bound to host.]
Since Pavilion Master Xu Mo's system had 'evolved,' Deputy Pavilion Master Xu Rong naturally couldn't escape either.
Xu Rong's original system was the 'Super Divine Gene System,' but now it too had been hijacked by Jiang Che using a subsystem.
Even now, Xu Rong was still in a daze.
And just like that, Jiang Che had gained a few more 'workers.'
Truthfully, Jiang Che could have used his subsystems to take control of all the other members of the Destiny Association, but low-tier 'protagonists of fortune' weren't even worth his investment!
After all, each subsystem template cost a whopping 1 million points, and the points earned from these subsystems weren't something Jiang Che could arbitrarily decide!
There was an upper and lower threshold—without these limits... Jiang Che would become invincible in minutes.
For example, take the same 'Show-off System'—if given to Jiang Ruoxu, a single act of showing off could net Jiang Che tens of thousands of points. But if given to some no-name protagonist of fortune? Barely a thousand or two.
And if he ended up with a trashy 'Dragon King Son-in-Law' type? He might even lose points!
Losing points was obviously out of the question for Jiang Che!
As for that loser Chen Hao? Well, he was Chen Ningshuang's older brother—what was the harm in giving him a system?
Of course, it wasn’t just Xu Mo and Xu Rong.
The Daoist Academy soon echoed with a chorus of ding-ding notifications.
Inside a high-grade cultivation chamber, the Primordial Chaos Physique holder, Chu Yuan, was deep in meditation. Before him lay a shimmering spirit stone—upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a damaged top-tier spirit stone!
Not long ago, one of Chu Yuan’s clones had ventured out for training, accidentally stumbled into a spatial rift, and discovered an ancient ruin within a secret realm, where he’d acquired quite a few treasures.
"The Puppet Arts truly live up to their reputation as an advanced technique—perfect for a sneaky bastard like me! Once the spiritual energy resurgence hits, I’ll just keep lying low... My main body is safe here in the Daoist Academy!"
"Lay low! Must lay low! Once the Nine Heavens descend... I’ll keep hiding there too!"
Chu Yuan felt like he’d found his own path to greatness.
And then—
[Ding! The 'Ironhead System' has found a host. Would you like to bind?]
???
What the hell? Ironhead System?
[Ding! Congratulations, host—binding successful!]
???
Hey, buddy, did I even agree to this?
This is straight-up coercion!
Sure, he envied his fellow disciples in the academy who had systems, but that didn’t mean he wanted one!
For someone as cautious as him, a system was basically a ticking time bomb!
"You... First tell me, what exactly do you do?"
[Ding! This system is an auxiliary cheat tool produced by the 'Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect,' known as the 'Ironhead System.' As long as the host acts recklessly or does something suicidal, they will earn Ironhead Points...]
"Hold up—you’re telling me to go get myself killed?!"
[Not suicidal, just reckless.]
"That’s the same damn thing! Unbind! Unbind right now!"
Chu Yuan was on the verge of a breakdown!
[Ding! Once bound, this system cannot be unbound unless the host dies.]
"..."
Fcking highway robbery!
[Ding! Host, please bravely court death. Only cowards hide—real men charge headfirst into trouble!]
Chu Yuan felt his scalp tingle at the words.
And it wasn’t just him!
On the academy’s sparring platform, the relentless Wang Teng once again challenged Yu Chengkong—only to be effortlessly defeated by a single sword strike, leaving him utterly disheartened, his Dao heart on the verge of collapse.
"Leave. You will never be my match," Yu Chengkong said indifferently, sheathing his sword.
[Ding! The 'Peerless Sword God System' has found a host. Would you like to bind... Success!]
Yu Chengkong: "???"
Meanwhile, Wang Teng, standing before him, was nearly driven to despair.
[Ding! The 'Hundred Defeats to Immortality System' has been bound to host.]
Hearing the system’s voice, Wang Teng instantly perked up.
It’s here! The cheat is finally here!
In the Daoist Academy, systems weren’t exactly common, but out of every ten people, at least three had one.
If he had a system now, it’d be like adding wings to a tiger!
"'Hundred Defeats to Immortality System'? What’s that mean?"
[Host gains Defeat Points every time they lose a fight. The stronger the opponent, the more points earned.]
Wang Teng: "..."
No! I’m a proud future Great Emperor!
Am I supposed to kneel before everyone now?!
......
Overnight, Jiang Che had acquired several more 'workers.'
Counting Jiang Ruoxu, Zhou Fan, and the others, Jiang Che now had dozens of them.
Nearly every promising 'Chosen One' had become his cash crop.
Especially Chu Yuan, the main protagonist himself, who had so easily become one of Jiang Che’s 'harvests.'
[Ding! The Chosen One 'Chu Yuan' has successfully acted recklessly, publicly defeating academy instructor Ji Boda. Gained 50,000 Ironhead Points. Host receives 500,000 points.]
Look at that—even the main protagonist was dutifully working for him now.
Truly worthy of his title. With just a casual move, he’d earned Jiang Che half a million points. A couple more bursts like this, and the investment would pay for itself!
With these high-quality 'workers,' raking in millions of points daily was no longer just a dream.
If he ever accumulated enough points, Jiang Che was tempted to try hacking into the Destiny Association’s system store.
Not that he cared about free loot—he just wanted to test how deep the Association’s waters ran.
......
"Brother Jiang Che, does the Dragon Palace you mentioned... really exist?"
Qin Qiaoqiao gazed at him expectantly. "Are there mermaids? Brother Jiang Che... why don’t you bring back a mermaid sister?"
Qin Qiaoqiao always had a way with words. In her mind, jealousy simply didn’t exist.
If her personality were gender-swapped, she’d basically be one of those self-cuckolding 'cuck' characters.
But Qin Qiaoqiao was perfectly happy with it. After all, Jiang Che already had so many girls around him—what harm was there in adding a few more? Especially if they were from different species... She’d get to broaden her horizons too.
"Haha, mermaids do exist, but none in the Dragon Palace could compare to you, Qiaoqiao."
Jiang Che’s sweet talk came effortlessly—zero startup lag!
"Brother Jiang Che..." Even after all this time, Qin Qiaoqiao still blushed at his cheesy pickup lines.
"Ugh! Sister Qiaoqiao, ignore him! He’s just a big flirt—either horny or on his way to being horny!"
Yu Wan'er dragged Qin Qiaoqiao away. The Dragon Palace? At this rate, that scoundrel would probably start cheating under the sea next!
