Greed: The embodiment of avarice, never satisfied due to desire, it keeps you energized and drives you forward.
Financial Luck: As long as you strive forward, financial luck will surely arrive. Take more walks.
Both abilities seemed quite good. One kept a person full of energy and motivated to strive, while the other brought financial luck.
Liu Nanfeng wanted both abilities, but refining only allowed a random selection of one.
However, why were there only two abilities? Based on his past experience refining human-demons, such individuals should have at least three abilities.
So, he clicked on the human-demon born from Qian Haixia.
Indeed, there were three abilities.
Intelligence Reduction: Uses language to lower the opponent's intelligence, bringing their intellect to the same level as your own.
Arrogance: Aura of arrogance. When out and about, those with lower intelligence than you will show reverence and retreat ten feet.
Disguise: When in a disadvantageous situation, feign weakness. Those with lower intelligence than you will show sympathy, allowing you to strike from a moral high ground with heavy criticism.
Holy cow, what bizarre abilities! They all related to intelligence. His brain must have been completely drained. Still, these few abilities were quite interesting.
Liu Nanfeng also realized the difference between triggering the antecedent and not triggering it.
Triggering the antecedent unlocked all abilities, while not triggering it resulted in fewer abilities.
To verify his guess, Liu Nanfeng triggered the antecedent born from Minister Sun.
The specific details are not worth elaborating on, but it was roughly the story of a country boy's journey from having nothing to becoming a company boss, amassing tens of millions. .oΓg
This was nothing special, except that the process was somewhat unscrupulous.
To achieve success, he didn't hesitate to "introduce" his lover to his "benefactor."
To earn more money, he deceived the elderly and drained their retirement funds.
To accelerate wealth growth, he murdered his wife for insurance money and exploited his employees.
He looked human but did nothing human.
However, after triggering the antecedent, there was a slight deviation from Liu Nanfeng's guess, as not one, but two additional abilities appeared.
Eloquence: Outstanding eloquence makes people trust you more easily, accept your ideas, and be deceived by you.
Pie-in-the-Sky: The pies you draw are big, round, fragrant, and sweet, driving men mad and making women scream.
The latter two abilities were practically standard for successful individuals, but they had little use for Liu Nanfeng.
What he wanted most was financial luck, but he already had [Body Strengthening]. Even if he obtained a pill for financial luck, it would likely be devoured and used to strengthen himself.
With this thought, Liu Nanfeng no longer hesitated. With a thought, a sky-covering hand descended from the air, directly pressing the two human-demons who were fleeing everywhere into the lava.
Immediately, wisps of energy rose into the air and began to gather into pill shapes above the lava. What abilities he would ultimately obtain would only be known at this time tomorrow, so he paid them no further mind. With a thought, he retracted the painting scroll.
When Liu Nanfeng returned to the delivery station, most people were already back, as the peak period had passed.
Hu Mengyao was also there, holding a few steamed buns, eating while listening to everyone chat.
Her eyes were clear and bright, black and white distinct, and as they flickered, they seemed to speak.
So, even though everyone was talking, they didn't neglect her, occasionally striking up conversations with her.
They asked about her studies, her life, her family. In short, they made conversation out of nothing.
Hu Mengyao was also very patient, showing no hint of impatience, chattering away with everyone and occasionally making a witty remark that would cause them to erupt in laughter.
Noticing Liu Nanfeng's return, she immediately raised the bun in her hand and waved it.
"Nanfeng, Nanfeng..."
"What?" Liu Nanfeng said, a little speechless.
Her demeanor was a bit too childish.
"Do you want a bun? Today's it's pork buns, they're especially delicious." She handed the bag in her hand to Liu Nanfeng and said.
After thinking, she added, "You can only have one."
"Chicken?"
Hu Mengyao nodded repeatedly, acting as if it were obvious.
"Not eating." Liu Nanfeng said with disdain.
As expected, after hearing this, Hu Mengyao immediately retracted her hand, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Seeing her reaction, Liu Nanfeng, who hadn't intended to eat, changed his mind and said, "I think I'll still have one."
"Eh?" Hu Mengyao's eyes widened in surprise.
"What, are you reluctant now? You just asked if I wanted to eat it?"
"But... but, I'm a little reluctant now." Hu Mengyao said, quickly shoving the meat bun into her mouth.
"With you like this, you still want to seduce me?" Liu Nanfeng said with a mortified expression.
"Why not?" Hu Mengyao said blankly.
Seeing her like this, Liu Nanfeng couldn't tell if she was genuinely foolish or pretending to be.
"Why do you think you can?"
"This is a chicken bun, it's super delicious. How could anyone not like it?"
She held up the bun, displaying her foolishness again.
Liu Nanfeng really didn't want to bother with her anymore. He turned the handlebars and stopped his bike to the side.
Hu Mengyao watched him, saying nothing, and continued to eat her meat bun.
"Hu Mengyao, if Little Liu doesn't eat it, we will. Why don't you treat us?" Everyone who had been watching from the side chimed in.
"No, these are my favorite buns, I can't give them to you." Hu Mengyao said nervously.
"Then why can Little Liu have one?" the others asked again.
"He... he's different." Hu Mengyao stammered.
"What's different? We all have one nose and two eyes. Is it just because he's a bit handsome? Let me tell you, being handsome isn't useful for a man. You need to be big, hard, long, and lasting..."
"Hey, hey, speak properly, don't drive the car."
Hu Mengyao ate her bun, looking at them blankly, as if she didn't understand what they were talking about at all.
Seeing her innocent look, the others couldn't bear to continue making suggestive remarks.
So, they continued to press her on why she treated Liu Nanfeng differently.
"Because I want to seduce him." Hu Mengyao said honestly.
Liu Nanfeng covered his face. Was this girl really that bold?
"Seduce?"
Everyone looked at Liu Nanfeng, then at Hu Mengyao, their faces showing surprise. Are young people these days so daring?
"Little Liu is married, he has a wife." Wu Shilong said earnestly.
"I know. My fourth sister said I should seduce him, make him fight with his wife, and preferably get divorced." Hu Mengyao said honestly.
Everyone was shocked again.
"Mengyao, we don't know what grudges your fourth sister has with Little Liu, but you can't be like this. It's very bad to break up someone's family." They said.
Then they turned to Liu Nanfeng and said, "Did you do something scummy to Mengyao's fourth sister that she hates you so much? You must hold yourself back and absolutely do nothing that would betray your wife."
"I know this is not good, but fourth sister said she would give me some money, and she gave me too much." Hu Mengyao said with a conflicted expression.
"How much did she give you that you would do this against your conscience?" the others asked with some curiosity.
"Fifty million."
Everyone gasped.
"Little Liu, actually, we think Mengyao's fourth sister should be a very good person. Looking at Mengyao's appearance, her fourth sister should also be good-looking, and she's a rich woman. If it really comes down to it, just give in to her, apologize. It's not shameful for a man to be a bit soft-boned for money..."
The others changed their tune and began to advise Liu Nanfeng. Of course, they weren't serious, just teasing him.
Hu Mengyao continued to eat her buns, watching with a calm expression, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
