Ye Tong's Favorability Has Reached the Maximum

The video continued playing, now moving to the next scene.

Once again, it was set in a bar. Xu Mu had his arm around a heavily made-up woman and was exchanging insults with another man.

Suddenly, Xu Mu grabbed a nearby liquor bottle and smashed it over the man’s head.

In the next moment, a burly man stepped out from behind Xu Mu.

He grabbed the man by the collar and dragged him outside.

Lu Xueyao had seen this burly man before.

He was the same person Xu Mu had called when helping her deal with "Tiger Brother" back then.

She remembered the people with him calling him "Brother Biao."

"See that? Now tell me, is Xu Mu a good person?"

Fang Chu smirked slightly, observing Lu Xueyao’s expression.

These two video clips had been given to him by the Chai family.

They were surveillance footage from back when Xu Mu had caused trouble in a Yang City bar.

It was worth noting that nearly all the major bars in Yang City were owned by the Chai family.

The Chai family wouldn’t bother with such trivial matters.

However, this had happened during the height of the business war between the Feng Family and the Xu Family.

The Feng Family had paid a hefty sum for the Chai family to retrieve the surveillance footage.

Feng Kang’s plan was simple—to use Xu Mu, the family’s black sheep, to pressure Xu Shou.

But by the time the Chai family handed over these two clips, the Xu Family was already on the verge of collapse.

Feng Kang never ended up using them, as they were just two clips of a bar fight, and Xu Mu had later apologized and compensated the victims.

The injured parties had already forgiven him, so the videos wouldn’t have made much of an impact.

But in Fang Chu’s hands, these videos could serve a much greater purpose.

Especially since Xu Mu’s expression in the footage made him look like a mindless villain, ruthless to the core.

How could a woman like Lu Xueyao possibly accept that?

"Xueyao, what do you have to say now?"

Fang Chu took back his phone and pointed at the Ferrari in the distance. "I used to have a company in this circle too. Xu Mu’s bad reputation is common knowledge."

"Stop slandering Xu Mu!"

Lu Xueyao shook her head violently and walked away.

"Xueyao, I’ll say it again—he’s been putting on an act for you. Once he gets what he wants, he’ll toss you aside!"

Fang Chu shouted at her retreating figure.

But Lu Xueyao didn’t even look back as she left.

"Dammit! You’re hopeless!"

Fang Chu got back into his car and immediately sent the video to Zhao Yingying.

A woman like Lu Xueyao, with her reclusive and strong-willed personality, was hard to sway once she made up her mind.

In comparison, someone like Zhao Yingying, a well-behaved student, would be much easier to handle.

He decided to make sure Zhao Yingying saw Xu Mu’s true colors—then Li Yun would inevitably find out too.

If he could get these two under his control, he might as well forget about Lu Xueyao.

Meanwhile, Xu Mu and Ye Tong were working late into the night on renovations.

Once they finished, Xu Mu noticed his Justice Points were enough for two ten-draws.

He had originally planned to use them that morning, but Xu Shou had called him over, leaving him no time.

Since he had nothing better to do, he opened the system panel and started the draws, curious about what he might get this time.

The roulette wheel began spinning, faint light flickering across it.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 30 Attribute Points.]

Xu Mu smiled slightly—same as usual for the first few draws.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points.]

...

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 20 Attribute Points.]

...

...

After all eleven draws from the first ten-draw were completed, Xu Mu was left dumbfounded—every single one was the minimum reward.

Still, it was somewhat acceptable.

Getting useless items would’ve been worse than just taking the baseline rewards.

Just as Xu Mu was about to start his second ten-draw, he heard Ye Tong suddenly speak beside him.

"Husband… I love you so much."

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s hum, as if she were talking in her sleep.

But in the quiet bedroom, Xu Mu heard it clearly.

[Affection Points +30]

Seeing the black text floating above Ye Tong’s head, Xu Mu nearly laughed out loud.

Even in her dreams, Ye Tong was giving him Affection Points?

Just as he reached out to gently pat her, several lines of black text appeared before his eyes.

[Ye Tong’s Affection Points have reached the maximum.]

[Ye Tong has established a connection with the Host.]

[Specific operational methods have been integrated into the Host’s memory.]

Staring at the text, Xu Mu’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Ye Tong’s Affection Points had maxed out?

He had read about this before—his father, Xu Shou, had started with maxed-out Affection Points from the very beginning.

Maximum Affection Points meant the person was willing to do anything for him.

He immediately used his Divine Eye to check Ye Tong’s information.

Name: Ye Tong

Identity: Researcher at Xu Pharmaceuticals, Female Lead of The Dragon King’s Arrival.

Affection: (Maxed)

Fate Level: 8 (Max 10)

Aura: Shared Fortune

Seeing this, Xu Mu felt a surge of emotion—he had suspected this might happen.

Ye Tong was bound to be the first to reach max Affection.

He noticed a new attribute on Ye Tong’s panel.

But first, he examined the "connection" the system had mentioned.

After careful study, Xu Mu was utterly stunned.

Holy hell.

Who knew such an ability existed?

In simple terms, it meant that Xu Mu and the person he established a connection with could share skills.

In other words, all the skills Xu Mu obtained through the system could be used by Ye Tong.

From his divine-level Perception ability and Heaven-grade cultivation techniques to the title of "God of Assassins,"

down to his cooking skills and piano certifications.

However, these abilities were transferred, not duplicated.

For example, if Xu Mu gave his Perception ability to Ye Tong,

he would no longer possess it himself and couldn’t use it anymore.

Of course, the initiative lay entirely with Xu Mu.

He could grant abilities to others, and he could also take them back at any time.

There was also a special case—when he drew cultivation techniques.

For instance, Xu Mu had Meng Wanyue practice "Shadow Kill," even though he didn’t know it himself.

If Meng Wanyue’s affection level later maxed out, Xu Mu could directly take and use the technique.

He discovered something rather absurd:

Only those whose affection levels had maxed out under the system’s influence could establish a connection.

Xu Shou’s affection had already peaked before the system appeared,

so Xu Mu couldn’t share skills with Xu Shou.

Lastly, every person whose affection level maxed out would gain a permanent aura.

This aura was closely tied to the individual’s personality.

It corresponded to a unique ability—one that existed because of Ye Tong but was used by Xu Mu.

Ye Tong’s aura was the "Shared Blessing" displayed on the panel earlier.

This suited her character perfectly, as she was never a selfish person.

When Xu Mu checked Ye Tong’s panel and long-pressed "Shared Blessing," a description appeared.

"Holy crap…"

Xu Mu couldn’t help but exclaim—this was insane.

Truly worthy of being his wife.

It was important to note that once affection levels maxed out, no further affection could be gained.

For example, Xu Shou had never provided Xu Mu with any additional affection points.

But Ye Tong’s "Shared Blessing" could replicate others’ affection gains.

According to the description, if Ye Tong was with Ye Yu and Ye Yu generated 10 affection points,

Ye Tong would "share the blessing" with Ye Yu, also gaining 10 points.

If multiple people were nearby, Ye Tong would replicate the total affection points—everyone shared the blessing.

Put simply, as long as Ye Tong was present, the affection Xu Mu gained from those around him would double.

And that wasn’t even the most impressive part…
