Xu Mu hadn’t finished speaking when Xu Shou hung up the phone.
“What the heck! What’s going on?”
Xu Mu was in the middle of talking when he suddenly noticed Ye Tong beside him, who had already opened her eyes.
Ye Tong usually slept lightly, and she would often wake up shortly after Xu Mu did in the morning.
Previously, fearing Xu Mu might lecture her again in the morning, she would pretend to continue sleeping.
Today was different, so she didn’t pretend.
“Was it Dad on the phone?” Ye Tong asked softly.
“Yeah, he wants me to go to the company right now, and it’s only seven o’clock,” Xu Mu said somewhat helplessly.
“Go ahead, it might be something important. I’ll get up and make you a quick breakfast,” Ye Tong offered, preparing to get up.
“No need, you should rest well these days. I’ll just grab something from the street,” Xu Mu said, gently pushing Ye Tong back down.
[Affection +20]
“Alright, take care on the road,” Ye Tong nodded lightly.
Compared to yesterday, the justice points earned were less than before.
But overall, Ye Tong needed rest; he couldn’t keep exploiting her.
Xu Mu quickly freshened up and drove straight to the company. As for breakfast, he decided he could eat after handling the matter at hand.
Arriving at the underground parking garage beneath the company building, Xu Mu parked his car and headed for the elevator.
He then took the elevator to the top floor of the building.
Standing in front of the door, he knocked, and upon hearing a voice from inside, Xu Mu pushed the door open and entered.
Inside the office, four people were already present.
They were the same people from the Xu family estate yesterday.
Xu Shou, Xu Ningbing, Chen Bei, and Wang Weiliang.
Seeing Xu Mu enter, Wang Weiliang ran over and grabbed Xu Mu’s arm, exclaiming, “Young Master Xu! You’re a genius! An absolute genius in medicine!”
Xu Mu scratched his head and, seeing Wang Weiliang’s dark circles, chuckled, “Mr. Wang, don’t praise me too much, or I might get arrogant.”
Xu Ningbing, standing nearby, gave Xu Mu a deep look, realizing this person had been hiding his talents all along.
[Affection +5]
Chen Bei also looked at Xu Mu in disbelief; who would have thought that the once foolish young man would shine in the field of medicine?
“Alright, Old Wang, tell him what you just said again,” Xu Shou said, sitting in his chair with a smile.
Wang Weiliang nodded, “Young Master Xu, among the several solutions you provided yesterday, two can also produce weight-loss drugs. The cost is lower, but the effect isn’t as good as our original.”
“There’s one that’s comparable to our weight-loss drug, not much different, but the last one is really strong. By changing materials, the cost is lower, and the effect is better.”
Wang Weiliang spoke to Xu Mu with excitement.
Xu Mu nodded slightly; he didn’t understand medicine.
He was just proficient in pharmaceuticals, having reviewed the previous materials and processes.
He replaced them with others that were equally effective, if not better.
Some substances were difficult to extract, but he had the methods.
“Young Master Xu, and the bad scheme you provided, I’ve managed to succeed in experiments as well,”
Wang Weiliang continued, “Through calculations, using this method to make drugs, the short-term effect is exactly the same as our weight-loss drug, but after about half a month, the body will develop antibodies, causing a rebound and no longer being effective.”
“It won’t harm the body, right? Our goal is to punish Qian Gang and them, not to affect consumers,” Xu Shou asked from the side.
"Chairman, rest assured, these medications are nutritious. Although they don't have any weight loss effects, long-term consumption won't cause any harm, just like those health supplements on the market."
Wang Weiliang looked at Xu Shou and said.
"That's good," Xu Shou nodded lightly.
"By the way."
Chen Bei suddenly turned to Xu Shou, "Chairman, as soon as I got home last night, Qian Gang called me, saying he wants to treat me to dinner today."
"Haha, old Qian can't sit still."
Xu Shou sneered, "Old Chen, take this fake prescription with you. The rest is up to you."
"I understand, I'll make sure to complete the task."
Chen Bei nodded heavily.
Xu Shou let Chen Bei and Wang Weiliang leave first.
Especially Wang Weiliang, who hadn't slept all night.
At his age, Xu Shou advised him to go home and rest.
After they left, only the three members of the Xu family remained.
Xu Mu was contemplating whether to let Xu Ningbing know about his plan to elevate Xu Shou.
According to the original plot, Xu Ningbing dreamed of becoming a martial artist.
It was Dragon King who led Xu Ningbing to the path, so she was always grateful to him.
But if Xu Ningbing knew, she might actively approach him.
However, Xu Mu didn't plan to elevate Xu Ningbing first; her favorability was negative, unless Xu Mu was foolish.
After much thought, Xu Mu decided to let Xu Ningbing know.
Always acting cold towards him, it would drive her crazy.
Although from the plot, Xu Ningbing's personality was like this, she remained cold even towards Dragon King.
"Dad, I'm going to get busy."
Xu Ningbing prepared to leave; she didn't want to stay here any longer.
It was obvious that Xu Shou would start praising Xu Mu next, and she was not interested in listening.
Xu Shou nodded lightly.
At this moment, Xu Mu took out a red plastic bag from his pocket.
He approached Xu Shou and said, "Old man, this is a pill I prepared for you. Once you take it, you can enter the realm of martial artists."
Xu Ningbing's hand was already on the doorknob, the door was open, but upon hearing this, she closed it again.
Martial artist?
Xu Mu actually knew about it?
And he said that taking a pill could directly step into it?
Xu Ningbing immediately turned around and saw Xu Mu taking out a black pill from that cheap plastic bag.
"Who gave you this thing?"
Xu Shou asked with a frown.
"If it were from someone else, I definitely wouldn’t give it to you; I’d be afraid of danger. But this pill, I made it myself."
Xu Mu already had his reasons ready, "I added heavenly treasures to it, which I spent a fortune to acquire."
"I appreciate your sentiment, but this kind of good stuff, you should use it yourself."
Xu Shou smiled and shook his head, "I'm getting old."
"I've already used it. This is made from the leftover heavenly treasures. Hurry up and take it; would your son harm you?"
Xu Mu proactively pushed the pill towards Xu Shou's mouth.
"Xu Mu, stop giving Dad these flashy things. What if he gets sick from taking them?"
Xu Ningbing frowned as she walked over.
"It's fine."
Xu Shou took the pill and swallowed it, considering it his son's gesture.
He chewed a few times and swallowed the pill.
Xu Mu immediately used the Eye of God to check Xu Shou's information.
Name: Xu Shou
Role: Chairman of Jiangbei Xu Group
Favorability: (Maxed Out)
Destiny Level: 1 (Max Level is 10)
Strength: 46
Speed: 49
Endurance: 45
Defense: 48
Xu Mu currently possesses 154 points of Destiny Power, and he decides to increase Xu Shou's strength.
He raises Xu Shou's strength to 50 points.
Initially, Xu Mu thought Xu Shou would advance to the Bright Energy stage, just like himself, but that didn’t happen.
Xu Mu had no choice but to continue boosting him. The Destiny Power he had accumulated was originally intended to enhance others.
He added another ten points, raising Xu Shou's strength to 60.
At that moment, black text suddenly appeared before Xu Mu's eyes:
[Detected damage to the subject's meridians, requires 100 Destiny Power to repair]
Seeing this black text, Xu Mu was completely stunned.
Damaged meridians? It turns out his father has a past shrouded in secrets!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
pression Bureau] Transported to a fantasy world overrun by demons and monsters, Gu Qingfeng becomes a jailer in the Demon Suppression Prison of the Great Yan Dynasty's Demon Suppression Bureau. From this point on, bizarre cases frequently occur in the Demon Suppression Prison, once known as hell on earth and infamous for its gloomy, terrifying atmosphere! Why do the demons and monsters in the prison wail miserably every night? Why has the corpse demon, capable of transforming into various beauties, donned black stockings and switched careers to become a foot massage therapist? Why has the eye demon, expert in soul-snatching and illusions, turned into a VR headset? Why is the fox spirit performing otaku dances? Are all these occurrences a twisted expression of demonic nature, or a descent into moral depravity? After peeling away layer upon layer of mystery, all clues ultimately point to a jailer named Gu Qingfeng. Gu Qingfeng: "Hehehe... My dear demons and monsters, whose card shall we flip today?"
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
