After seeing off Xuanyuan Long, Ye Bufan's self-preservation value was also cleared to zero. Even if he was full of ambition, there was nowhere for him to exert himself.
After these two car accidents, Ye Bufan figured he should just honestly stay at home as an otaku. Every time he went out, nothing good happened.
---------
Time flies, and before he knew it, a year had passed. Jier City's business community also underwent an earth-shattering change.
A rising new game company, under heavy siege from various families, managed to pave a bloody path and reached the pinnacle by stepping on the corpses of the fallen.
What was shocking was that the one sitting on the throne of the gaming industry was an unbelievably beautiful woman. Strangely, no one could find anything about her background.
It was as if a genius had appeared out of thin air, and with the speed of a meteorite hitting the earth, started from nothing and took down all the gaming moguls who had been immersed in the industry for many years. It was unbelievable.
Of course people tried to take the fruits of her victory, but unfortunately their various means were useless. Sometimes they even helped pave the way for her rising business.
Some people tried a different approach, targeting the boss of the company. But alas, this delicate rose was untouchable.
While ordinary pursuit was fine, just being ignored, if someone tried to kidnap her, it was as if those people had never existed. They would lose contact in the blink of an eye.
After several attempts, no one played this self-defeating trick anymore.
It was through these repeated trials that Chao Fan Game Company solidified its position as a gaming industry giant.
Chao Fan Manor was what people called this mysterious manor, because Chao Fan Limited's boss Ye Shang lived inside.
However, informed sources revealed that Ye Shang was not the real owner of the manor. But everyone just scoffed at this, because they had never seen a second owner appear there.
Manor Villa
Ye Bufan comfortably lay on his king-sized bed, 30 square meters long, holding his phone and shouting loudly, "Go, go, go! These useless teammates!"
For a whole year, Ye Bufan spent most of his time in bed.
Nothing else, the protection ability of the quilt was the best in the world. As long as you hid inside, all evil spirits would retreat.
This year, not to mention going out of the manor, Ye Bufan rarely even left the villa. Accidentally triggering the disaster of blood and light was too easy.
Sometimes, while walking, a tree branch as thick as a thigh would smash down.
Or a manhole cover would crack open, and he would whoosh right into it.
Not to mention falling ceiling lights, decorative ceiling rosettes, leaking sockets.
Most outrageous of all, someone even tried to poison him! If not for Ye Bufan's quick wit, spending 100 self-preservation points to exchange for [Nine Yang Divine Skill], he would have croaked right there.
The system also specially updated itself, adding a loyalty attribute that could now be viewed for everyone.
Of course, these accidents also brought huge gains, especially that poisoning incident. Not only did he get a full 100 more self-preservation points, he also gained a future robot and a long-lost guaranteed profitable business exchange coupon.
No exaggeration, these were top grade stuff.
With the business expertise skill, it wasn't like Ye Shang's businesses had 100% guaranteed profit. Especially high risk industries, no one dared to guarantee profit.
Only the heaven-defying system could achieve this. Unfortunately like the robot, such exchange coupons could not be bought in the store, only randomly gained through accidents. Otherwise Ye Bufan would have bought a whole stack.
[Host: Ye Bufan]
[Self-Preservation Value: 19]
[Attributes: Speed 60, Endurance 60, Strength 80, Protection 500]
[Skills: Golden Bell Shield (50), Iron Cloth Shirt (10), Iron Head (10), Nine Yang Divine Skill (100), Golden Light Mantra Layman's Version (20), Indestructible Vajra Body (100), Diamond Indestructible Body (100), Brushing Clothes Eighteen Falls (10), Heaven and Earth Great Shift (100)]
In order to survive better, Ye Bufan had no choice but to stack his self-preservation points into defense. Without life, true death would come.
Fortunately learning these skills wasn't useless. It could be said now that even sweeping him with a machine gun was absolutely impossible to kill him.
Of course, a sniper rifle bullet to the temple would still mean game over.
The revolution is not yet successful, comrades still need to work hard.
The road ahead is long, the journey far.
"Master, I have arranged for Xuanyuan Long. Yu Liling knows you sent him and didn't stop him."
A young maid wearing a maid outfit, shaking her impressive figure, walked to Ye Bufan's bedside and reported to him.
Xi Mengsi, Robot No. 3, was responsible for all affairs in the manor. Ye Bufan had specially spent a lot to install many skills for her.
[Robot: Xi Mengsi]
[Attributes: Speed 500, Strength 500, Endurance 500, Protection 0]
[Skills: Management Expertise (10), Foreign Language Expertise (10), Cooking Expertise (10), Daily Expertise (10), Business Expertise (10), Nine Yin Scriptures (10)] (It's cheap for robots to learn)
The current Xi Mengsi could be called an expert in the hall and kitchen, and could also work part-time as a bodyguard. She was the manager among managers, the secretary among secretaries.
"Contact Ye Shang and have her come back immediately."
With a new business coupon in hand, Ye Bufan naturally wouldn't keep it. Money births money, only then could it give birth to more money.
Leaving the coupon to mold would be no different than wastepaper.
Compared to the previous acquisition of the gaming studio, finances this time were obviously much more ample.
After statistics from Ye Shang, usable cash on hand was 400 million.
Ye Bufan looked through the proposal drafted by Ye Shang, picking and choosing, and eventually chose a cosmetics company on the verge of bankruptcy.
Cosmetics, when done well, were very lucrative. But if done poorly, troubles were many. And its market prospects were very broad, perfectly suiting use of the business coupon.
Ye Bufan's dream had once been to make money by lying down. Now it seemed to have been achieved.

Jiang City
Compared to Ye Bufan's carefree days, life in Jiang City for Ye Feng was miserable.
Ever since that day an elderly man with a mysterious identity suddenly appeared, his happy two-person world with Sister Yu ended.
In addition to homework from school everyday, now when Ye Feng got home he also had to recite complex herbal medicine knowledge, and couldn't even rest properly at night.
Sitting cross-legged all night, also known as meditation.
The current Ye Feng was no longer that orphan with no one to care for him after both parents died.
Frankly, the former Ye Bufan didn't know how to take care of a child. Other than occasionally remembering his father's death and feeling sad, Ye Feng's life under Yu Liling's care was too good.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.

Right at the start, he catches the female lead stealing exam papers! This triggers the villain's choice options! [Choice 1: Pretend you didn't see anything] [Choice 2: Loudly call her out, drawing everyone's attention] [Choice 3: ...] And thus, a twisted villain is born.

ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System."
