After a lengthy introduction segment...
The two hosts sat in front of the camera, a mysterious smile on their faces as they said, "And now, all the popular contestants have been introduced."
"What comes next... are our... special contestants!"
Special contestants?
Qin Luo became intrigued.
On the screen, a dozen portraits of contestants appeared.
Among them was...
"Ah! That's me! I'm up there!"
Su Muwan exclaimed excitedly upon seeing her handsome portrait.
"Yes, yes, I see it..."
Qin Luo glanced over each of the special contestants.
His eyebrow raised. Well, well...
A quick calculation showed that all these contestants had high fortune indices.
Especially that Zhuo Song... his fortune index was close to T0?
"You must be wondering what makes these contestants special?"
The host explained, "These contestants were selected by the Alliance's supercomputer as the candidates with the highest probability of winning."
"So, the competition has specially set a unique mechanism for their wristbands."
"That is... each special contestant's wristband is equivalent to 100 regular contestants' wristbands!"
"Each wristband counts as 1 point."
As the words fell, Su Muwan picked up her own wristband from the table, her eyes lighting up. "Qin Luo, doesn't that mean I already have 100 points?"
Qin Luo glanced at the portraits of the special contestants and smiled. "No, no, no. You actually have 200 points."
"Hmm? Why?"
"Because..."
Qin Luo waved his wristband and said, "Unfortunately, I'm also a special contestant."
"Sss!"
"What's wrong, Miss?"
"Starting with 200 points, how are the others supposed to compete??"
"Miss is still too kind. This is exactly the effect we want. From now on, we just need to take all the special contestants' wristbands, and you'll be well on your way to victory!"
"Right, right!"
In a bar...
A woman glanced up at the program playing on the TV.
She pursed her lips.
With so many powerful martial artists, who would risk so much for 2 billion in prize money...
"Oh, and because of the massive number of participants, the prize pool has been increased to 50 billion!"
"Sponsored by eighteen families!!"
".........”
The woman was silent for a moment, then downed the drink in her glass in one gulp.
Interesting, just hunt down the special contestants.
If that's the case... 50 billion, here I come!!
At the same time...
As the competition announced the prize pool had been raised to 50 billion...
Everyone went crazy.
The internet was in an uproar.
"Winning 50 billion! You could spend it for a lifetime!”
"Not just that! It was previously mentioned that Qian Family's talent-enhancing technology could be used once, but now it also comes with permanent physical conditioning services!”
"Sss... so that means... as long as you don't train to death, you can train until you drop?"
"More than that! Even if you die, it's fine! The Qian Family will bring Divine Doctor Qin over to revive you!"
"Exactly!! Speaking of which, Divine Doctor Qin is also participating, and he's a special contestant, too! So is Su Muwan?"
"Right! They're together, aren't they! This is getting interesting!"
Ha ha, I heard from a little bird that a large number of martial artists are heading to Jiang City, aiming to target Su Muwan and eliminate her early!
"Hahaha! Serves her right! Su Muwan just unified Jiang City, huh? What's so great about unifying a tiny place like that?"
"?? What are you even talking about? Why don't you go to Jiang City and say that to Miss Su's face?"
"Oh, IP address from Jiang City, aren't you guys the ones who hate Su Muwan the most? Yet you're defending her?"
"On a different note, what's your deal with calling Jiang City a tiny place?"
"That's right! Although Jiang City is small, just Su Muwan alone is enough to crush all you clowns!!"
"?? I'm from Wang City, and you're calling me a clown??"
"Hehe, want to check the live replay? Miss Su said Wang City is also a tiny place, and their people are no better than dogs or pigs, easily crushed!"
"Laughable. That's just because they haven't met folks from Shanghai. This global competition! Even a mere Su Muwan should finally reveal her hideous true form! And that so-called Divine Doctor Qin? Definitely just a fake quack pushed by PR!"
"?? You can trash-talk Su Muwan, but why insult the respected Divine Doctor Qin?"
"&……%￥#@”
The internet was in chaos.
Even Douyin had produced a global city ranking based on contestant points.
The points accumulated by contestants from each city would be added to the city's total score.
This led to heated debates among residents of various cities.
Martial Arts Alliance.
Research Department.
"Director, there's been quite a commotion online about the rankings."
"Hmph, no worries. Martial artists should have martial spirit, and fights like this... will keep our martial arts era alive."
Li Mingyuan adjusted his glasses, his gaze shifting to the large screen.
On it were the profiles of each contestant.
Among them, he lingered longest on Qin Luo and Su Muwan's profiles.
Because compared to the others, their profiles were the simplest.
【Su Muwan】
Combat Data: Combat time too short, all suppressive fire.
【Qin Luo】
Combat Data: Combat time too short, highly insulting, low damage.
Interesting.
Li Mingyuan's lips curved into a smile. Then this competition will be a great opportunity to see Su Muwan's real combat data!
....
....
At the Su Family's villa.
As all TV programming had been replaced with competition-related live streams and analysis shows...
Su Muwan grew bored. The more she watched, the more she turned to her phone.
Hehe, phones are still more interesting.
Qin Luo, on the other hand, was quite amusing.
His eyes were on the TV, but his fingers continued to gently run through Su Muwan's hair.
Her hair felt so nice that Qin Luo found it hard to let go.
As his fingers moved rhythmically and gently, Qin Luo could clearly sense Su Muwan's body stiffening slightly. He couldn't help but smile.
Lowering his gaze to see Su Muwan pretending to look at her phone but internally trembling, he said, "Miss... do you know how adorable you are right now?"
"Hmph..."
Hearing this, Su Muwan grew even more bashful.
She softly huffed, closed her phone, and chose not to respond, though the blush on her cheeks couldn't be concealed.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Qin Luo still didn't stop.
Unable to bear it any longer, Su Muwan turned her head, glaring at Qin Luo with a mix of shyness and frustration.
Under his teasing gaze...
Su Muwan took a deep breath, then stretched out her arms and lightly looped them around Qin Luo's neck.
She stared at him, her voice filled with embarrassment as she said, "If you think I'm so cute..."
As she spoke, Su Muwan pulled Qin Luo closer to her.
Her shy voice entered Qin Luo's mind.
"— Then come and kiss me, you fool!"
Mmm—!
The sudden kiss caught Qin Luo completely off guard.
But... it felt surprisingly good...
Their breaths intertwined as time seemed to stand still.
Qin Luo responded by gently wrapping his arms around Su Muwan's waist, pulling her softly into his embrace.
His gaze was tender.
Yes, an assertive Miss is...
Just very adorable.
After a long while...
Su Muwan gazed at Qin Luo with misty eyes, "Qin Luo..."
"Miss, you ate a puff pastry tonight, didn't you."
"?"
"Die!"
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system?

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic.

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
