KLIIIIK!

The notification sound struck Fang Zhe’s heart like lightning.

He froze. Then slowly lowered his head to look at the system panel.

—

Host Status: Fang Zhe

Occupation: Personal Bodyguard

System Points: 0

Charisma: Level 1 — Young Master Handsome Aura of Shange City

—

“What?”

His face stiffened instantly.

“WHAT?!”

He immediately jumped up from the bed.

“System! Did you steal my points?!”

DIIIIIING!

‘The host voluntarily upgraded Charisma.’

“Voluntarily my ass!” he snapped.

“I JUST TOUCHED IT!”

DIIIIIING!

‘Touch confirmation has been considered as consent.’

The veins on his temple throbbed.

“One hundred and fifty points… That was the result of my hard work this afternoon!”

‘Investment in appearance has long-term benefits.’

“Long-term benefits? I’m a bodyguard, not a contestant in some handsome face competition!”

The panel remained blue. Cold. Without guilt. Fang Zhe paced back and forth in the small room.

“Level 1 Charisma… Young master handsome aura… What is this even for?! To charm mosquitoes in the garden?!”

DIIIIIING!

‘Side effects: increases attractiveness, authority, and positive social responses.’

“Positive social responses?! I need points, not applause!”

He pulled at his own hair.

“This system is truly a top-tier scam…”

DIIIIIING!

‘The system appreciates expressive hosts.’

“Shut up! Don’t respond again!”

The room fell silent again. Fang Zhe finally chose to sit on the edge of the bed. His chest rose and fell.

All his points were gone.

No increase in reflexes. No increase in endurance. Observation technique not purchased. Medical still costs five hundred points. The only thing that improved… was his face.

He looked at the small mirror on the wall. Then paused.

A few seconds passed.

“Huh?”

His eyebrows slowly raised.

His jaw looked sharper. His gaze more intense. His skin clearer. Even the line of his shoulders appeared more proportional.

A faint aura somehow made him feel… different.

“Is this… me?”

He stepped closer.

“This doesn’t make sense…”

But the next second, his expression hardened again.

“No matter how handsome I am, my points are still zero!”

He threw himself back onto the bed.

“I have to work tomorrow… and I don’t even have any upgrades.”

He closed his eyes. A few seconds later, his voice sounded low.

“System…”

No response.

“If you try to scam me again, I’ll destroy all your missions.”

Only silence answered him. Fang Zhe let out a long breath. Today had been far too long.

Shange City. Erina. The Medicine Pavilion. A mysterious system. Lost points. Strange charisma. Even offending the young master under Lord Ryan.

His life had truly changed.

Within minutes, his breathing became steady. And for the first time since returning to this city…

He finally fell asleep.

—

Morning.

Sunlight pierced through the curtains. Fang Zhe slowly opened his eyes. For a few seconds, he stared at the ceiling. Then remembered everything.

“Not a dream.”

He got up and walked to the bathroom. After a quick shower, he put on the work clothes neatly prepared in the wardrobe.

A well-fitted black suit. A clean white shirt. A thin blazer tailored for elite bodyguards. Polished black leather shoes.

As he buttoned his suit…

He looked at the mirror again.

And froze.

That aura was now more obvious.

His posture was straight. His gaze deep. His jaw sharp. Even his expression unconsciously exuded calm authority.

No longer the poor young man sitting at a bus stop yesterday.

But a young man with the aura of a noble young master.

“This is the effect of Charisma…” he muttered.

He took a breath.

“Well… at least it’s not completely useless.”

Tok.

Tok.

A knock sounded on the door.

“Guard Fang, Miss requests your presence in the dining room.”

“Understood.”

Fang Zhe opened the door and walked down the hallway.

His steps were steady. His shoulders firm. His gaze straight ahead.

Several servants he passed unconsciously paused. They exchanged glances.

“Why… does Guard Fang’s aura feel different today?”

“He looks like… a young master from a great family.”

Fang Zhe didn’t notice their stares. He entered the dining room.

And there, Erina was already seated at the main chair.

She wore a soft cream-colored formal outfit, her long hair neatly flowing. In front of her was a simple yet elegant breakfast.

When the door opened, Erina lifted her head.

Her gaze froze instantly.

For a split second, her eyes truly stopped.

Fang Zhe stood upright at the doorway.

Morning light from the large window cast his silhouette. His jawline sharp. His gaze calm yet deep. The subtle authority that was barely there yesterday now felt real.

Not just handsome.

But refined.

Erina even forgot to lower her teacup. Her heartbeat unconsciously skipped.

“Fang Zhe?”

Her voice was slightly softer than usual.

Fang Zhe walked forward and stopped one step behind her chair.

“Good morning, Miss.”

His tone was steady. Low. Controlled.

Erina blinked once. Something was different. Not just his face.

But his charisma—his presence—was truly different from when they first met.

A quiet yet powerful confidence.

She straightened her back again, trying to regain her professional expression.

“You… look different today.”

Fang Zhe slightly raised his eyebrow.

“Different?”

Erina paused for two seconds before replying.

“That suit suits you better.”

Fang Zhe let out a long breath internally.

“Thank you, Miss.”

But before the atmosphere turned awkward—

DIIIIIING!

A notification sound suddenly echoed inside his head. Fang Zhe’s heart nearly jumped out. A blue transparent panel appeared at the corner of his vision.

—

NEW MISSION DETECTED!

Category: Medium Mission

Target: Increase CEO Erina’s affection until initial emotional interest appears

Time Limit: 30 days

Failure: Host loses 200 points in the next mission

Reward: +500 system points

—

Fang Zhe’s gaze froze again. His eyes remained straight ahead, but inside—

“WHAT?!”

He almost choked on his own breath.

“Increase… what?!”

His hands, which had been calm behind his back, nearly clenched.

“System, have you gone insane?!”

DIIIIIING!

‘Mission aligns with strategic relationship development.’

“Strategic relationship my ass!”

He forced his expression to remain unchanged in front of Erina.

Make the CEO like him?

He was a bodyguard. Not some cheap romance drama actor!

And moreover… the person in front of him was Erina. CEO of the Medicine Pavilion. Intelligent, cold, and clearly not someone easily charmed.

“Five hundred points…” he recalled, making his heart pound.

500 points meant he could buy Basic Medical Proficiency.

“But this is social suicide!” he screamed internally.

Erina was still looking at him.

“You seem… a little tense.”

Fang Zhe snapped out of his thoughts.

“I’m fine, Miss.”

    The hundreds of giant Qi swords, radiating the pure pressure of a peak five-star Emperor Realm, plunged downward like a meteor shower, locking down every corner of the space surrounding Fang Zhe. The sharp, whistling sound of their descent tore through the atmosphere, creating a gale-force wave that whipped Fang Zhe's clothes into a violent frenzy.Yet, standing amidst the deadly storm of Qi swords, Fang Zhe's expression showed not the slightest trace of panic. On the contrary, a magnificent flash of golden light burned brightly in both of his pupils."Testing pure techniques against mine? How convenient... I've also been wanting to test the sharpness of this sword for a long time... Combined with the three elements I possess... Let's see if I can still match the technique of a one-star Emperor practitioner!" Fang Zhe muttered coldly.He raised the Sky-Desolator Sword high above his head with both hands. In the blink of an eye, the three swirling vortices of extreme energy within his

    The crushing blow of a peak five-star Emperor Realm fighter's pure physical strength caused the ground beneath Fang Zhe's feet to collapse into a giant crater tens of meters in diameter! Dust and stone fragments flew into the air, accompanied by a shockwave that cracked the surrounding rocks.High in the sky, the Third Supreme Elder cackled triumphantly as he watched the young man plunge into the bottom of the crater."HAHAHAHA! Taste that, you arrogant punk!" roared the Third Supreme Elder, pointing the tip of his massive sword downward. "Without any fire energy for you to steal, you are nothing more than a weak lump of flesh before a peak five-star Emperor Realm Supreme Elder! In a moment, every bone in your body will be shattered to pieces!"However, before the demonic elder's arrogant laughter could fade, a black shadow darted upward from the billow of dust at the bottom of the crater!Fang Zhe stood erect, wiping a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. Without a shred of p

    The devastating shockwave born from the collision between Fang Zhe's Heaven-Annihilating Sword and the Flame Demon Supreme Elder's massive sword exploded like thunder in the high heavens!Golden and hellish-red ripples of energy swept across the horizon for dozens of kilometers, splitting the layers of pitch-black clouds and causing the entire battlefield in the upper sky to come to a simultaneous halt.The Flame Demon Supreme Elder was pushed back a dozen meters in the air, his two feet scraping against the atmosphere and triggering sparks. His demonic pair of eyes widened wide as he stared at the black-robed youth before him with an expression of utter shock and horror."Impossible... you are merely a One-Star Emperor Warrior! How could the power of your sword clash shake the bones in my arm?!" cried the Supreme Elder in a trembling tone, unable to believe that a human junior was able to match his pure strength, which was already at the peak of the Five-Star Emperor Warrior stage.M

    "Hahahahaha?! I truly did not choose the wrong person!"Laughter full of roaring relief blended with burning spirit instantly burst from Emperor Hao Yuan's throat. The imperial aura that had briefly dimmed due to the encirclement of the demonic race's supreme elders now flared back up like the sun reaching its peak!"Ancient Flame Demon King, I know you are watching from down there... Look at this. Today is the day your army is destroyed!" exclaimed Emperor Hao Yuan with a voice echoing and splitting the firmament.Knowing that General Fu Shi and General Gao Long—the two main pillars of his military strength—had been successfully rescued by Fang Zhe, the heavy burden on the emperor's shoulders was completely lifted. He gripped his imperial sword with both hands, focusing all his focus and strength without looking back anymore."Heavenly Dragon Sword: Firmament-Shattering Slash!"A giant sword beam thousands of meters long soared, splitting the dark sky, forcing the supreme elders of t

    Dozens of giant hellfire meteors, each tens of meters in diameter, plunged downward at a terrifying speed, splitting the layer of black clouds above the Eastern Abyss and leaving a trail of deep green corrosive fire across the sky. The heat pressure they radiated made the atmosphere around the battlefield feel as though it were burning away, sucking up all the oxygen and causing the space around the impact points to appear cracked and warped.From a distance, General Fu Shi and General Gao Long had to muster all their remaining spiritual energy to form a protective barrier, enduring the waves of scorching wind sweeping across the cliff where they took cover. Both veterans' faces were drenched in cold sweat as they witnessed this apocalyptic-scale destruction.However, right at the center of the destructive storm, Fang Zhe stood with terrifying calmness. His black robe fluttered violently against the scorching windstorm, while both hands were once again spread wide to the sides as if h

    A stifling silence instantly enveloped the entire Eastern Abyss. The scorching winds that usually blew fiercely seemed to halt, leaving only the crackling sound of scorched rocks slowly cooling beneath Fang Zhe's feet.The dozens of Fire Demons hovering in the air stood rigidly frozen like stone statues. Their blazing red eyes bulged wide, nearly popping out of their sockets as they stared at the black-robed youth below with a mixture of disbelief, confusion, and a fear that slowly crept into their minds."W-What just happened?!" stammered one of the Two-Star Fire Demons in the front row. His giant claw trembled violently, extinguishing the green sparks between his fingers instantly."Where... where is our Soul-Destroying Hell Rain?! Why isn't there the slightest trace of an explosion on that human's body?!""Impossible! Completely impossible!" roared the Three-Star Fire Demon leader in a high-pitched tone, stripped of all the dignity and arrogance he had flaunted seconds ago."He is
