Wang Haoran and Xu Muyan waited for over an hour before news came that Xu Zheng's surgery was complete.
The surgery went very smoothly, and the metal object in Xu Zheng's body was successfully removed.
Xu Zheng lay on a mobile bed, pushed out of the operating room by a nurse and taken to a recovery room.
Lawyer An and Xu Muyan finally let out the breath they had been holding. They stood on either side of Xu Zheng, their faces showing relieved smiles.
At Xu Zheng's request, very little anesthetic was used.
Although the surgery had just finished, Xu Zheng was very clear-headed.
The Xu family of three chatted for a while.
Xu Zheng learned about the timely check-up that prevented danger and the waived medical fees.
"Haoran, thank you so much for this. It's truly a blessing for my Yan Yan to have a classmate like you," Xu Zheng said gratefully.
[Ding, supporting character Xu Zheng's favorability towards the Host has greatly increased. Xu Zheng belongs to the Host's faction. The Host gains 200 Villain Points. Chu Bai's Protagonist Halo -10, Host's Villain Halo +10!]
"Uncle Xu, you're too kind. Xu Muyan and I are classmates, and you are my elder. If you're so polite to me, I'm afraid it will be too much for a junior like me," Wang Haoran said respectfully.
With the boost from his Movie Emperor Acting Skill, his actions were completely natural, as if they came from the bottom of his heart.
Xu Zheng and Lawyer An nodded secretly upon hearing this.
Humble and polite, with outstanding character, this was the true model of a rich young master!!! It seemed there was no need to worry about their daughter interacting with him in the future; everything would take its natural course.
Although Xu Zheng was a tough man and could endure pain well, he still needed good rest after just having surgery.
Checking the time, it was already past midnight, very late.
Lawyer An stayed to take care of Xu Zheng, while Xu Muyan had classes tomorrow and needed to go home.
After leaving the clinic, Wang Haoran first had the driver take Xu Muyan home.
Along the way, Wang Haoran considered finding a reason to stay overnight at Xu Muyan's house.
With Xu Muyan's 70 favorability towards him, she probably wouldn't refuse.
Then, he could be a bit shameless in the middle of the night and "harvest" Xu Muyan.
However, this thought only stayed in Wang Haoran's mind for a few dozen seconds before he discarded it.
Although Xu Muyan was deeply devoted to him, their relationship was still that of classmates.
Such a sudden leap was something Xu Muyan wouldn't likely accept directly.
If he were forceful, it might even backfire and lower Xu Muyan's favorability towards him.
If not handled well, it might not be worth the gain.
Anyway, given Xu Muyan's level of admiration for him, Chu Bai no longer posed much of a threat.
There was no need to rush.
Once Xu Muyan's favorability reaches 90, then he can harvest without any worries.
After figuring this out.
Wang Haoran sent Xu Muyan home and didn't even linger there before immediately returning to his own house.
After washing up and returning to his bedroom, he didn't rest immediately but checked his panel attributes.
[Host: Wang Haoran]
[Combat Power: 289]
[Charm: 268]
[Villain Halo: 369]
[Villain Points: 2300]
[Skills: Grandmaster Calligraphy and Painting Imitation Skill, Grandmaster Practical Wing Chun, God-level Singing Skill, Movie Emperor Acting Skill, Clairvoyance]
He had 2300 Villain Points, which was quite a lot.
But what made Wang Haoran happiest was the growth of his Villain Halo.
His Villain Halo was 369, so by deduction, Chu Bai's Protagonist Halo was currently 87.
Chu Bai's threat to him was no longer as great.
Of course, this didn't mean there was no threat.
According to the system, if Wang Haoran did nothing, under the effect of Chu Bai's Protagonist Halo, the original plot would slowly return to its intended course.
Subsequently, Wang Haoran's Villain Halo would decrease accordingly, while Chu Bai's Protagonist Halo would rise.
In short, Wang Haoran and Chu Bai were irreconcilable.
With Villain Points as high as 2300, it was time to spend some.
Wang Haoran communicated with the system, opened the System Shop interface, and immediately spent 500 Villain Points on a lottery draw.
[Unfortunately, the Host did not win any rewards. Do you wish to continue spending 500 Villain Points to draw a reward?]
"Yes."
[Unfortunately, the Host did not win any rewards. Do you wish to continue spending 500 Villain Points to draw a reward?]
"Yes."
[Unfortunately, the Host did not win any rewards. Do you wish to continue spending 500 Villain Points to draw a reward?]
"Yes!"
[Ding, congratulations to the Host for having explosive luck and drawing the "Supreme Poison Scripture" worth 8000 Villain Points. Do you wish to spend 200 Villain Points to learn it?]
Something worth 8000 Villain Points was definitely a gain, but what was the use of this thing?
Wang Haoran was a little curious and immediately checked the description of the "Supreme Poison Scripture."
"Supreme Poison Scripture, a poison art classic written by the Poison Emperor after exhausting his life's efforts. After comprehending and mastering it, one can kill invisibly."
Awesome!
After only reading a small introductory section, Wang Haoran couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.
This Supreme Poison Scripture was simply tailor-made for a super villain.
"Learn!"
Ding, the Host has spent 200 Villain Points to initially comprehend the Supreme Poison Scripture, gaining the skill "Advanced Poison Art" (can be upgraded by consuming Villain Points).
There are three levels of comprehension for the Supreme Poison Scripture: Advanced Poison Art, Grandmaster Poison Art, and Supreme Poison Art.
Upgrading from Advanced to Grandmaster requires 1000 Villain Points, and from Grandmaster to Supreme requires 3000 Villain Points.
He currently only had 100 Villain Points left.
Upgrading skills was definitely out of the question, and even if he could, he wouldn't do so for now.
Because after reviewing the information about the Advanced Poison Art he had comprehended in his mind, he found that it was already incredibly powerful.
It could easily poison someone without a trace! Dealing with Chu Bai would be a piece of cake.
Just kill Chu Bai directly?
That was a straightforward method.
Chu Bai only had Clairvoyance, which was completely useless against this Advanced Poison Art.
If Wang Haoran really wanted to poison him, he could most likely kill him.
However, he didn't think it was necessary.
It was more cost-effective to extract more Villain Points and Halo Points from Chu Bai.
And the fastest way to do that was by using the female leads.
Thinking of this, Wang Haoran immediately took out his phone and called Wen Jing.
It was already past midnight, and Wen Jing should have been asleep, but Wang Haoran wasn't afraid of disturbing her.
Wen Jing would be overjoyed if Wang Haoran called her in the middle of the night; she wouldn't mind being woken up at all.
After the phone rang for a while, Wen Jing groggily answered.
Wang Haoran first coaxed her, saying things like "I miss you so much I can't sleep."
Upon hearing this, Wen Jing was so happy that all her sleepiness vanished. She excitedly chatted with Wang Haoran, wishing they could talk until dawn.
However, Wang Haoran wasn't in the mood for that.
After coaxing Wen Jing for a while, he got straight to the point and began instructing her on some things to do tomorrow.
