In the Gu Family mansion, lying on a soft bed worth two million dollars.
Gu Yan began examining his evolved Pure Love Cultivation Technique.
"Why use the word 'evolved' anyway? Are you really a legitimate system?"
Gu Yan complained while opening the introduction section of the Pure Love Cultivation Technique.
[Cosmic Pure Love Technique - Stage Two]
[The Cosmic Pure Love Technique: Simply by performing acts of pure love, one can activate pure love energy! This energy cleanses the meridians of the technique's master, continuously nourishing the body, making it stronger, and making learning anything twice as effective!]
The first stage introduction ended there.
So... what changes came with stage two?
Thinking this, Gu Yan continued reading.
[Pure Love Energy Value: 122353]
[In stage two, besides exchanging items in the shop, the pure love energy can be actively used by the technique's master. For specific operation procedures, the host should figure it out themselves.]
[Note: This technique cannot advance through normal cultivation methods, it can only advance through accumulating pure love energy from interactions between the host and their pure love interest.]
[Stage Three Progress: 1%]
Slap!
Gu Yan covered his face: "Come on, how am I supposed to use this?? What kind of cryptic system are you??"
Gu Yan took a deep breath. When he read this part, he could barely keep it together. He had thought this system was a bit unorthodox when he first transmigrated.
But now looking at it, sure enough, this system was definitely not orthodox.
No, no, he had to stay calm. He was already on this system's boat and couldn't get off.
Since he could only rely on the Pure Love Cultivation Technique for this lifetime, then... then...
Might as well keep reading.
[Don't underestimate our pure love bond!!!]
"Isn't there any normal introduction at all??"
Gu Yan quickly scrolled down, wanting to question this dog system's mental state.
After scrolling through a bunch of chuunibyou-style introductions.
He finally found something useful.
[Stage two technique allows you to see everyone's 'Pure Love Resistance Value']
[The higher the Pure Love Resistance Value, the more pure love energy the host needs to consume when affecting that person]
?
Gu Yan slowly typed out a question mark. Pure Love Resistance Value??
What kind of world was this? How did terms like Pure Love Resistance Value even exist??
Never mind, Gu Yan took a deep breath and got up from the bed.
Since according to the explanation, he could actively use pure love energy, then... let's try it out!
But...
He looked at his hand: "How do I actively use it though?"
Gu Yan thought for a moment, suddenly remembering when he shattered marble with one punch in the banquet hall earlier.
Opening his palm then making a fist, Gu Yan chuckled and shook his head: "It can't be that I just think about getting stronger and then I'll actually get stronger, right?"
The next second.
A prompt appeared in his mind.
[Consumed 100,000 pure love value!! Host has obtained early-stage Innate Realm cultivation! Not enough pure love value for mid-stage Innate Realm, so advancement stopped!]
Gu Yan: "........"
!!!
"Hey hey hey, no way? Seriously?"
Gu Yan could hardly believe it. He jumped in place and found his body felt much lighter.
When he clenched his fist again, he seemed to feel an additional power within his body.
He was shocked.
Just like that... he leveled up??
Pure love value had this kind of effect??
What the hell? Is this something that should exist in a low-level martial arts world??
You should apologize to all those martial artists who trained so hard!
Whew.
Gu Yan took a deep breath. What's done is done.
He looked out the window, his eyes eager to try. Anyway, let's first test out what his current situation is!
Thus, that night, an urban legend spread through the Tianhu Cave Villa District.
They said a black shadow flashed past from a fifth-floor window.
But when they checked the surveillance footage, they couldn't find any trace of anyone.
.........
.........
The next day.
Gu Yan was woken up by noise.
He rubbed his eyes, looking at the person standing helplessly beside his bed.
Somewhat confused: "Dad, what are you doing? Shouldn't you be at work?"
Seeing Gu Yan's completely unconcerned attitude, Gu Tianming became instantly furious. He said sternly: "Did you beat up half of Jianghai City's prominent figures last night?"
Hearing this, Gu Yan yawned, saying nonchalantly: "Oh, that? I didn't beat them up."
"They just happened to run into my fists."
That's still beating them up!
After confirming this response.
Gu Tianming felt a headache coming on. Beating up people from other small families was one thing.
But the main issue was that he had beaten up the young miss of the Yan Family.
This was problematic, as they were no lesser than the Gu Family.
Now the Yan Family was leading half of Jianghai City's families to demand an explanation, giving him quite a headache.
Yet the instigator was sleeping quite contentedly.
Gu Tianming looked at Gu Yan, perhaps thinking of something, and sighed: "Anyway, I've managed to suppress the matter."
"They wanted you to apologize in person, but......"
Gu Tianming's face showed pride and disdain: "My son, Gu Tianming's son, beat someone up - so what? I'd like to see who dares to do anything to you!"
Gu Yan nodded upon hearing this: "Oh."
"Just 'oh'? Ah...."
Gu Tianming's mouth twitched, feeling his efforts were wasted. He sat on Gu Yan's bedside and patiently said: "Yan, Dad's not blaming you for beating people up."
"If I really wanted to blame you, I wouldn't have helped you"
At this point, Gu Yan interrupted: "Let me cut in - they insulted my Qingqiu first. If I hadn't considered your face, Dad, I would have beaten up everyone watching the show at that banquet!"
Seeing Gu Yan's righteous attitude as if doing it all for his sake, Gu Tianming felt both angry and amused.
He advised: "I know you care for your beloved, but have you thought about our family's annual meeting?"
Speaking of which, Gu Tianming's brows furrowed together: "This year is your last chance, Yan. If you get rejected three times in a row, you'll lose your qualification to inherit the Gu Family Group."
"When that happens, such a large Gu Family Group will have to be handed over to someone else suitable after I die."
At this point, Gu Tianming suddenly noticed something. He reached out and grabbed Gu Yan's wrist.
In less than a moment, he was startled and looked at Gu Yan in disbelief: "Wait, you....."
Gu Yan nodded, speaking as if about something trivial: "Yes, I've reached the Innate Realm, and Dad, you don't need to worry about the annual meeting votes at all."
Speaking of this, under Gu Tianming's somewhat dazed gaze, Gu Yan smiled: "The heir will only be me."
Gu Tianming's expression was strange as he repeatedly gripped Gu Yan's wrist, muttering: "This shouldn't be possible... how could it be..."
"How could someone with such worthless talent reach the Innate Realm?"
Most importantly.
He looked at Gu Yan with confusion: "You know about martial artists?"
Hearing this, Gu Yan replied matter-of-factly: "As the eldest son of the Gu Family, isn't it normal to know about martial artists?"
"By the way, Dad, how many martial artists do we have in our family? It's not just Old Gao, right?"
Gu Tianming found he could hardly recognize his son anymore.
He shook his head: "Don't joke around, the Gu Family's foundation can be considered the strongest in all of Jianghai City."
Speaking of this, Gu Tianming was also quite proud: "I can say this - unless all the families in Jianghai City come to besiege our Gu Family."
"Then, you can live your life worry-free as the young master of the Gu Family."
Hey hey, please don't raise such strange flags.
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
his freshman year, Su Bai accidentally bound the "Indulgence Tycoon System." 【Sleeping in? Reward: +$1,000】 【Spent $288 at a street barbecue stall? Cashback: +$2,880】 【Dropped $14,396 on in-game skins? Special reward unlocked: A brand-new Porsche Panamera!】 Luxury cars, penthouses, corporate shares, financial empires… College life was all about living freely and doing whatever he pleased! … When the adorably naive academic genius faced family medical bills and financial struggles, Su Bai waved his hand dismissively: "Your future is on me." "Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
