Activity Points +1000, from Song Cheng
Xu Nan was delighted. Taking Song Cheng as his son hadn't been for nothing. Though Song Cheng didn't know Xu Nan was completing the monthly event quest, he had still contributed quite a few points.
Was it because he knew Xu Nan was behind it all?
Song Cheng: Dad! Give me a lead, will you?
Xu Nan: "Sure."
With that, he casually sent him a link.
Over there, Song Cheng beamed at his girlfriend. "We've got a room! I found an acquaintance with connections!"
His girlfriend smiled shyly.
Song Cheng happily opened the link. The next second, his face turned green.
What Xu Nan had sent him was, astonishingly, a link to the Abstinence Bar.
Activity Points +2000, from Song Cheng, Qi Zijun
On the rooftop, the night breeze drifted by. Xu Nan sat with one leg crossed over the other, counting his points in utter contentment.
Since he had decided to make his move tonight, Xu Nan wasn't going to give the couples any chance to fight back!
To obtain enough cash, he had even gone so far as to sell his shares in the two highly promising companies from Song Ying. No one else could understand that.
But Xu Nan hadn't hesitated at all. Once the other world descended, whether those so-called companies would even have any meaning was uncertain.
He might not have been rich enough to rival a city, but he could still afford a few outrageously lavish moves.
Booking out hotels was only the first step.
Next, the couples would discover that whether they went to the cinema, a café, a bar, or even a KTV—
They would all be told the same thing: no vacancies.
By himself, Xu Nan had sealed off every possible entertainment venue in the entire University City. Naturally, quite a few Single Dogs were caught in the crossfire too, but the main targets were still the couples.
Song Cheng and Qi Zijun were prime examples.
"Forget it. I've felt like something's off all night." After Song Cheng had dragged her around for half the day, Qi Zijun was tired too. "How about we go back to the dorm and rest?"
Song Cheng panicked. "We finally got out. How can we just go back like this...?"
As he spoke, his eyes shifted. "Why don't we go back to campus and take a walk?"
Qi Zijun's face flushed red. In the end, unable to withstand Song Cheng's repeated pleading, she went back to campus with him.
The landscaping at Shang University was quite good. Woods, secluded lawns, thickets... they were all excellent places for couples to make love.
Song Cheng usually found places like that too dirty, but tonight, he couldn't afford to care.
He eagerly pulled Qi Zijun toward the bushes. Before they could even rush in, a male student wearing a red armband suddenly darted into them!
A chorus of curses erupted from the bushes. Two or three couples who had been making out were startled senseless.
The male student rushed into the thicket and felt around. From among a pile of rubber products, he pulled out a white slip of paper with a word written on it.
The student read it aloud:
"Because lack think ting! Interesting!"
"I found 'because lack think ting'! They said it's second prize! Hahaha, I'm rich!"
Countless people immediately surged over like vicious ghosts, leaving the couples completely dumbfounded.
Song Cheng wandered through the campus numbly. The holy grounds of couples had been completely occupied by Single Dogs!
The Single Dogs rudely invaded their territory, doing who knew what ridiculous things, groping around everywhere. They kept finding similar white slips, muttering words under their breath as if they had just passed the imperial examinations.
Finally, Song Cheng stopped a boy holding an "interesting" slip. "Bro, what's going on? Why are there so many people at school tonight?"
The boy generously shared the secret:
"Xu Nan from the Foreign Language Club is holding an event tonight!"
"It's called: Night Tour of the Campus—Because I Love Reading Words Aloud!"
"I heard the Foreign Language Club hid lots of slips like this throughout the campus. Find the corresponding word and read it aloud, then you can go to the Foreign Language Club for a prize. That 'interesting' slip I just found can be exchanged for three thousand yuan!"
"Xu Nan is so generous! He's spending a fortune just to motivate everyone to learn English."
The other Single Dogs all nodded in agreement. They took out their own slips and loudly recited things like "interesting," "Too young, too simple," and countless other strange words.
Song Cheng finally understood. The dad he had just acknowledged was determined to wipe out every last couple tonight!
He dejectedly escorted his girlfriend back to the dorm. Still, he abandoned the reluctant Qi Zijun and turned away, leaving with murder in his eyes.
Under Qi Zijun's worried gaze.
Song Cheng sent a WeChat message: "Dad, where did you hide the first-prize word slip?"
"Tonight, I'm a Single Dog too!"
Xu Nan had long known Song Cheng had no principles, so he couldn't even be bothered to pay attention to him. Song Cheng had already contributed more than enough Activity Points anyway.
In any case, the couples weren't going anywhere tonight. Even if they hid in underground garages or the woods, Xu Nan had prepared plenty of surprises for them.
If they insisted on pressing ahead despite the difficulties... they were probably going to be traumatized for life.
From the number of Activity Points, Xu Nan could easily tell that the boy who had contributed ten thousand points was probably going to see an andrologist or a psychologist.
"Showing off your love every day—today's your retribution."
"These Activity Points are just too easy to earn! Even with only a one-percent chance of getting an alchemy blueprint or some other good item, it's still an enormous profit!"
"Life really is as lonely as... points."
Xu Nan stood on the rooftop, overlooking the entire campus. For some reason, he could see the faces of those furious couples with perfect clarity.
The pleasant sound of points rising seemed to echo beside his ears.
For a moment, Xu Nan felt as though he had transcended the mortal world and ascended.
"Points, come!"
Xu Nan murmured.
The points surged toward him like a tide. A terrifying shadow, like a nightmare from hell, shrouded the trembling faces of the couples.
The terror of being ruled by Single Dogs.
Had been thoroughly carved into their blood.
On this day, Xu Nan once again entered the realm of an earthly immortal... Ah, damn it, wrong script.
On the Quest Card, Xu Nan selected the automatic draw option.
There were simply too many points. He couldn't keep clicking through them one by one like an idiot.
He ran back to the dungeon and had the dwarves set up two enormous temporary warehouses.
The bat teeth and droppings he drew were piled in separate locations. As for everything else, Xu Nan designated that they be placed in the containment bag.
Before long, Xu Nan had drawn more than a dozen alchemy blueprints!
Even more terrifyingly, the bat droppings and teeth had filled the entire warehouses!
Yet Xu Nan still had points left.
At that moment, Xu Nan noticed that the Bat Brothers, which had occupied the largest portion of the prize wheel, had finally disappeared. In their place were only four categories: basic alchemy blueprints, random magical items, items, and gems or metals.
Every single one was priceless.
Xu Nan gave a cold laugh and chose to continue drawing!
One high-value item after another, gleaming with strange radiance, finally appeared before him!
At the Alchemy Heart of Lost Paradise, a young apprentice rushed over in a panic. "Something terrible has happened!"
"The alchemy warehouse prepared for first-rank sorcerers is about to be emptied!"
The two alchemists playing cards looked up in surprise.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The apprentice roared, "At this rate, according to Lost Paradise's rules, that novice sorcerer will start drawing items from the reserve warehouse!"
"And the sealed Greater Demon Heart and Devil's Hand have both already been drawn!"
The two staggered, then hurriedly ran off to deal with it.
Not long afterward.
Ron Sorcerers on other planes of the multiverse began to complain:
"What's going on? The monthly event draw doesn't even give bat teeth anymore? It's actually become that shameless 'Thank You For Your Patronage'?"
"The people at the heart of Lost Paradise are getting stingier and stingier!"
Xu Nan, meanwhile, received a letter from Lost Paradise through the system.
"Negotiation? Negotiation about what?"
Xu Nan hugged the pile of priceless items, watching his Activity Points continue to skyrocket, and grinned from ear to ear.
"They weren't prepared? Something unexpected happened, and they want to exchange items of equal value for some of the treasures they had tucked away?"
Xu Nan read the letter. Its general meaning was that they had never expected him to earn so many Activity Points and drain the Alchemy Heart of Lost Paradise's reserves dry in one go.
Some of the items were treasures kept at the bottom of the warehouse and had to be returned by Xu Nan.
Xu Nan sneered. "Items of equal value?"
"A bunch of bastards who believe stones and gold are equivalent—who would believe a word they say?"
"I'm not returning them! Absolutely not!"
Xu Nan's attitude was firm.
Not long after, he received an urgent invitation.
The Alchemy Heart of Lost Paradise would temporarily force open a passage. They invited Xu Nan to visit the most mysterious place in Lost Paradise and, incidentally, discuss the earlier accident further.
Xu Nan knew this trip would be fraught with danger, but it seemed he couldn't truly go head-to-head with the people of Lost Paradise either—unless he no longer wanted to enter Lost Paradise or use the system's power again.
After all, the bloodline systems of Ron Sorcerers were interconnected.
He began thinking of ways to ensure he could keep most of the items he had drawn.
At that moment, a mysterious radiance suddenly appeared before his eyes.
The radiance descended.
You have received the divine favor of the God of Love and Maidens Would you like to become a Chosen One of the God of Love and Maidens?
Xu Nan looked utterly bewildered:
"What god?"
Before you continue
