Ye Tong understood Xu Mu's intention.
But having experienced it once when she was drunk last time, this time she was already familiar with the routine.
Xu Mu glanced at the favorability points appearing above Ye Tong's head. In just a few interactions, he had already accumulated 10,000 points of justice points.
He clicked on the system panel to first check his own attributes.
Name: Xu Mu
Character: Villain Saint Body, HR Manager of Xu Corporation
Realm: Dark Force Mid-Stage
Physique: 190
Spirit: 190
Cultivation Points: 10 (Max: 200)
Destiny Power: 80
He then checked the roulette wheel beside it, which now displayed 10,000 justice points.
Without hesitation, Xu Mu used all of them for draws.
At that moment, black text appeared before his eyes.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for triggering a hidden rule. 10,000 justice points can unlock a premium draw.]
[Click to proceed.]
Xu Mu noticed that the interface had changed slightly.
Below the roulette wheel, there was now an option labeled "Premium Draw."
He reached out and tapped it. The entire wheel turned golden, clearly stating that 10,000 justice points could only be used for one draw.
Xu Mu didn’t dwell on it for long. After all, these 10,000 points were practically free, so he decided to give it a try.
If the reward turned out to be useless, he’d simply stop using premium draws in the future.
With a click, the golden wheel shimmered with light.
However, only Xu Mu could see this. To Ye Tong, who was lying beside him, the room remained pitch black.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Heaven-tier technique—Stellar Shift!]
The black text floating before his eyes left Xu Mu utterly stunned.
A Heaven-tier technique!
Previously, after countless draws, he had only managed to obtain the Earth-tier technique, Cloud Step.
But this time, he had directly acquired a Heaven-tier technique.
All 10,000 justice points were gone.
Xu Mu weighed his options and decided that from now on, he would prioritize regular ten-draws.
Compared to other rewards, the guaranteed experience points were far more important to him.
Right now, he was only at the Dark Force Mid-Stage—far too weak.
He doubted he could even defeat Lin Yang, let alone the Dragon King, who was about to return.

Early the next morning, Xu Mu opened his eyes.
He had been too busy the previous day to examine the Heaven-tier technique he had acquired.
After getting out of bed, he closed his eyes to inspect the technique.
When he saw the description of Stellar Shift, he was shocked.
As expected of a Heaven-tier technique—it was absolutely overpowered.
In simple terms, it allowed him to transfer damage.
Once activated, any injuries he sustained could be redirected to someone else within a certain range.
However, a Heaven-tier technique consumed an enormous amount of Qi.
At his current Dark Force level, Xu Mu could only use it once.
This confirmed his earlier thoughts—his top priority now was to increase his strength.
Ye Tong had also woken up early. She quickly dressed and said, "I’ll make breakfast."
"I’ll do it," Xu Mu said with a smile.
"No need. You’ve been cooking for the past few days. I’m fine now."
After several days of Xu Mu’s care, Ye Tong’s cheeks were noticeably rosier than before.
She no longer carried that air of gloominess.
While having breakfast together, Ye Tong shared her thoughts.
She didn’t want to stay idle at home. Since she had studied biomedical science, she wanted to work at the pharmaceutical company under Xu Corporation.
She had already called Wang Weiliang but hadn’t yet spoken to Xu Shou about it.
Xu Mu fully supported her decision. After all, it was their family’s company, so he felt at ease.
"Don’t worry. I’ll personally talk to Dad at the company today and get you an easygoing position," Xu Mu said, looking at her.
"No matter what, no overtime. I want to see you as soon as I get back from work."
[Favorability +10]
"Okay."
Ye Tong lowered her head, her cheeks flushing pink.

Xu Mu drove to the company, greeted Meng Wanyue, and then returned to his office.
The moment he sat down, his phone buzzed with a message.
Opening it, he saw it was from Lu Xueyao.
Come to think of it, he hadn’t seen her in days.
Lu Xueyao had forwarded a video with a caption:
"Xu Mu-ge, is this you? It’s trending! So cool! So cool!!"
Xu Mu opened the video—it was footage of him playing the piano at yesterday’s concert.
He replied: "Indeed, it is me."
Then added a meme of a smug-looking panda.
Curious, he checked online and found that it really was trending.
However, most headlines led with Shen Wanning’s name—
"Shen Wanning’s Concert Features God-Tier Performance"
"Shen Wanning’s Mysterious Guest Stuns the Audience"
Xu Mu didn’t mind. He had never been one to seek the spotlight.
He then browsed Douyin (TikTok) and saw that his original piano composition, Daybreak, had been released.
Within just a few hours, it had already surpassed 100 million views.
Xu Mu shook his head lightly. He wasn’t interested in fame.
His focus remained on his own path—protecting the Xu family and preparing for the Dragon King’s return.
With that in mind, he took the elevator to the top floor—the chairman’s office.
Pushing the door open, she found Xu Shou smiling at his phone while Xu Ningbing stood across from him with an exasperated expression.
"You came at the right time. Did you go to Yang City yesterday?" Xu Shou asked with a grin.
"Zhou Hening is there. I wanted him to help me find a celebrity."
Xu Mu sat down on the sofa as he spoke.
"So that's it. Your piano performance was incredible—far better than the phone recording from before. It moved me to tears."
Xu Shou sighed in admiration.
As a father, he had never realized his own son had such a talent for music.
"Dad, let’s get to the main topic," Xu Ningbing rolled her eyes. "The weight-loss pills have started mass production, and the approvals are in. They’ll hit the market in as little as a week."
"Good."
Xu Shou set his phone down and turned to Xu Mu. "Any thoughts?"
Xu Ningbing shot a glance at Xu Mu. She was used to it by now—their father consulted Xu Mu on everything.
"No particular thoughts. We should stick to the plan. No need to rush."
Xu Mu shook his head before adding, "I came here to talk about Ye Tong."
...
Feng Yue had been wandering around like a lost soul these past few days, holed up in a room above the bar.
Her once-ambitious dreams had been crushed as easily as crumbling tofu.
She never expected Lin Yang to be one of those legendary ancient martial artists.
Scrolling through her phone, she came across Xu Mu’s trending topic and froze in disbelief.
Listening to that piano piece, Feng Yue couldn’t stop her tears from falling.
She had never imagined that a wastrel like Xu Mu could possess artistic talent. Then she recalled the things he’d said these past few days.
Xu Mu really had changed.
Before, the mere thought of him would make her think of vulgarity. Now, she associated him with eloquence.
Just then, Feng Yue’s phone lit up. Seeing the caller ID, she answered immediately.
"Miss Feng, Flavor Foods has hired the popular celebrity Song Luoluo. I’ve confirmed that her commercial is already filmed and being rolled out."
A middle-aged man’s voice came through the phone.
"That Xu Mu—what an idiot! I warned you, but you still didn’t take it seriously."
Feng Yue cursed inwardly, deciding then and there to seek out Xu Mu again.
...

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1.
