The Difficult Task

"Miss Qin, here is your bag. Please check if anything is missing."

Yan Zhi's expectant gaze was fixed on the stunningly beautiful girl sitting across the table as she spoke earnestly.

The girl was dressed simply—a white shirt and high-waisted jeans—yet her outfit perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure. Her delicate features, especially her lively, sparkling eyes, radiated a youthful and vibrant charm. She was the epitome of a goddess.

Qin Yao opened the bag and carefully checked its contents. "Nothing's missing. Everything is here!" she said.

"That's impossible! Check again! This bag alone is worth over a hundred thousand!" Yan Zhi immediately dismissed her response and pressed further.

Seeing Yan Zhi's intense gaze, Qin Yao's lips twitched slightly. It seemed like this woman was disappointed that nothing was missing?

"Officer Yan, there wasn't much in the bag to begin with. The most valuable item was my phone, but I was holding it when the robbery happened," Qin Yao explained.

"That doesn't make sense! There must be something wrong here!" Yan Zhi muttered, deep in thought.

A bag this expensive, and she only carried this little inside? What a waste! Yan Zhi had initially hoped to take the initiative to apprehend the Night Emperor and teach him a lesson... but now it seemed her wish wouldn't come true.

"Wait, I think I did lose something," Qin Yao said, frowning slightly as she rummaged through the bag again.

Yan Zhi's eyebrows shot up. "What did you lose?"

"A one-inch photo," Qin Yao replied.

Yan Zhi: "..."

...

Not far from the law enforcement bureau, at a bustling street food stall.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you... Cheers, brother! Happy birthday! No need for words, all the feelings are in the drink! Bottoms up!"

An Yi had his arm slung over the shoulder of a bespectacled man, clinking glasses with the group at the table in a lively celebration. With his other hand, he grabbed a skewer of grilled lamb kidneys and took a big bite, devouring half of it in one go.

The bespectacled man was deeply moved. "Brother, thank you! Thank you!"

"We're all brothers here, no need for thanks! Tonight, we drink till we drop!" An Yi said, taking a few more bites of the skewers before enthusiastically urging everyone to clink glasses again.

As the drinks flowed and the atmosphere at the table grew even more lively, An Yi let out a satisfied burp, picked a toothpick, and quietly slipped away.

Just then, the system's notification sounded.

"Ding! [Freeloading] mission completed!"

"Ding! Mission reward: Evil Power Value +10!"

After An Yi left, the people at the table turned to the bespectacled man.

"Qiang, that guy was pretty interesting. Why didn't you introduce him earlier?"

"Uh... I don't know him. Wasn't he your friend?"

"..."

After filling his stomach, An Yi looked at his system panel, pondering which attribute to upgrade.

Name: An Yi

Gender: Male

Height: 181 cm

Strength: 70

Speed: 90

Reaction: 120

Spirit: 90

Charm Value: 8.3

Money: -19,782

At this point, his speed, strength, reaction, and spirit were already terrifying compared to the average person.

But An Yi knew this was only relative to ordinary people.

"Ding! System side mission [Casanova]

Mission reward: [Evil Ghost Mask]!"

The sudden system mission made An Yi pause.

What the hell? Are the missions never-ending tonight? This is already the third one!

And this mission... it's just...

After checking the mission requirements, An Yi fell silent.

Perverted! Shameless! Disgusting!

He, An Yi, was not that kind of person!

How could he let a system mission ruin the pristine chastity he had maintained for eighteen years?!

He, An Yi, a 1.8-meter-tall man of iron will, couldn't be led around by this trashy system!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt his greatness and righteousness, almost moved to tears by his own virtue.

Casually opening the mission reward [Evil Ghost Mask], An Yi glanced at its effects, and his eyes widened.

[Evil Ghost Mask]

Passive Skill: Within a 100-meter range, suppresses enemy strength by 5%!

Active Skills:

① Stealth: Grants the host temporary invisibility!

② Transformation: Allows the host to alter their appearance!

Screw it! What's a virginity worth anyway!

An Yi's spirits soared, and he strode forward with determination, pulling up the address of a high-end club he had saved on his phone for years. He was ready to push himself, maybe even take out a loan to scrape together some cash.

"Ding! System reminder: This is a side mission. The target must be rated 9 or above by the system, or the mission will be invalid. Time limit: 6 hours!"

After the system's reminder, An Yi was dumbfounded.

A 9? And there are requirements too?!

An Yi casually glanced at a few girls passing by.

The system's evaluation: All below standard!

One of them, a tall, slender girl with delicate features, also didn't make the cut.

An Yi was speechless.

What the hell? Not a single one meets the standard?

Thinking this, he glanced at a billboard advertisement for a chain hotpot restaurant. On it was a strikingly beautiful woman, a popular celebrity who had been trending recently.

System: Target does not meet the standard!

"Damn, even she doesn't qualify!"

An Yi wanted to curse. If even this celebrity didn't meet the standard, where was he supposed to find a 9/10 beauty?

That said, he knew of a very high-end place where such women might be found, but it might cost him a kidney...

"Help! Help!"

Just then, a clear, melodious voice echoed through the alley!

A woman's voice!

An Yi's eyes sharpened, and his face lit up with excitement.

A damsel in distress?!

He had been waiting for this moment for nineteen years!
