Glasses and Hair Gel Hand Are a Perfect Match

Xue Jing ate lunch at the Hidden Dragon Dojo.

Since he had started training martial arts, his appetite had gradually increased. If he ate ordinary food, he would need to measure his portions by the basinful.

The Hidden Dragon Dojo's Personal Disciples usually ate specially prepared medicinal meals for their regular meals, paired with nutritional paste Xue Jing had never seen before.

After eating, his whole body felt pleasantly warm. Training the Hibernating Dragon Art at such times also yielded more experience than usual.

You performed a Hibernating Dragon Art stance training session. Fitness experience +258 You performed a Hibernating Dragon Art stance training session. Moving Strength experience +221 You performed a Hibernating Dragon Art Contemplation Method training session. Contemplation experience +79 Contemplation has increased to Lv2 (30/500)

After spending his usual hour in the Hibernating Dragon Art stance, Xue Jing slowly steadied his breathing and sorted through the scorching blood and qi within his body. The "dragon qi" throughout his body gradually dispersed.

It was as though a summer breeze had swept through his mind. The cool sensation refreshed him, making his thoughts clearer and more focused.

Closing his eyes, he visualized the entire training room in his mind. He then took several steps forward, naturally crouched down, picked up the bottle of mineral water on the solid wood floor, unscrewed it, and gulped it down.

He then walked over to the window and opened it without the slightest hesitation, welcoming the fresh air from outside.

He did not look like someone who had lost his vision at all.

When people closed their eyes, they lost their sense of distance, balance, and direction.

But even with his eyes closed, as long as Xue Jing visualized the training room in his mind, everything within it appeared in perfect detail. It was practically a mental scan, no different from seeing with his eyes open.

Maybe if this keeps up, I'll develop some kind of mind's eye?

Xue Jing thought.

Without relying on his eyes, he could use nothing but the "imagination" of his consciousness to predict all of an opponent's movements and cast off his dependence on his senses.

That was what he hoped the Contemplation skill could eventually become.

As he rested, the phone on the floor suddenly vibrated.

When he opened it, he saw a message from the rich lady CEO.

Wu Youqing: Got work. Come now.

Xue Jing instantly perked up.

Fuck, there was finally work!

He immediately got to his feet, changed clothes, and practically ran out of the Hidden Dragon Dojo to catch a bus.

He first went home to retrieve his library card, took a moment to knead Maomao's face while she napped, then hurried out again and headed straight for the Qing Da campus, arriving on the seventh floor of the library.

After entering, Xue Jing looked around. Aside from a bespectacled Wu Youqing sitting in the lounge area, he did not spot Wu Youqing anywhere.

He looked around again, then suddenly realized something was off.

A bespectacled Wu Youqing... wasn't that Wu Youqing?

He abruptly turned back.

The girl removed the rimless glasses from her face and looked at Xue Jing with a radiant smile.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Xue Jing felt that Wu Youqing was much prettier than when he had seen her before.

"Your consciousness strength is quite high. I didn't expect you to notice me so quickly."

The girl blinked and spoke with some surprise.

Seeing Xue Jing staring at the glasses in her hand, Wu Youqing smiled. "...As you can see, this is a God Relic."

"Want to try them on?"

Keeping his expression calm, Xue Jing accepted the glasses and asked curiously, "What does this God Relic do?"

Divinity Substance detected. Extracting divinity...

"GOD-1280: Ordinary Glasses," the girl explained.

She sat up a little straighter, causing her generously endowed European-size assets to rise and quiver slightly.

For some reason, Xue Jing felt that Wu Youqing was far more alluring than before, and his gaze drifted toward her involuntarily.

"The effect is simple. It lowers a person's presence, making them 'ordinary' and unlikely to draw anyone's attention."

Wu Youqing teasingly watched Xue Jing's wandering gaze.

"—But the glasses suppress one's presence; they don't erase it. Once you take them off, the suppressed presence erupts all at once, making it especially easy to attract attention. The longer you wear them, the stronger that explosive presence becomes."

Xue Jing understood.

So it was not that he had suddenly become a horny bastard. It was the glasses' effect making Wu Youqing more attractive than usual.

Then there was no problem.

He fixed his gaze on the girl's eye-catching features and openly admired them.

—It was not that he wanted to look. It was the God Relic's fault.

"Boss, didn't you say there was work?"

Xue Jing asked.

Wu Youqing took out a stack of documents from the bag beside her and handed them to him.

"This mission is unusual. It's a C-Rank containment mission, and it normally shouldn't be assigned to you, but..."

The girl lifted her chin, signaling for him to read the documents.

Xue Jing put on GOD-1280. In an instant, he went from possessing an Innate Soft Rice Holy Body to becoming a roadside stone, making Wu Youqing pause in slight surprise.

He opened the file.

God Relic Sighting Report

At 2:32 PM on October 18, a stabbing incident occurred on Lianming Street in Sunny City's South District. Investigation revealed that the attacker was a young tattooed woman with blond hair, wearing a crown.

At 1:11 AM on October 19, the woman appeared again...

The file began with a large number of sighting reports, with several color photographs attached beside them. The pictures showed a young woman around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, wearing a black dress. Her hair was dyed blond, an exaggerated large spider was tattooed on her neck, and she wore an exquisite crown atop her head, with a black flower at its center.

It has been confirmed that the crown worn by this woman is GOD-1105: Villainess's Crown, a Dangerous Grade God Relic. Please contain it as soon as possible.

After reading the passage at the end, Xue Jing turned the page and found the information on the Villainess's Crown.

GOD-1105: Villainess's Crown

It actively approaches women harboring malicious thoughts. Once worn, it continuously amplifies the wearer's inner malice while simultaneously enhancing her physical abilities, until she becomes an unparalleled great villainess.

Xue Jing placed the file on the table.

"Finished reading?" Wu Youqing asked.

Xue Jing nodded.

"I'm done... so why am I being assigned this C-Rank containment mission?"

Amusement appeared in Wu Youqing's eyes as she looked him over from head to toe.

"The Villainess's Crown continuously strengthens the wearer's malicious thoughts... Women have their cravings too."

"Seeing a handsome man and being unable to resist wanting to possess him is also a kind of 'malicious thought.'"

Xue Jing: "..."

He understood why this containment mission had been assigned to him.

He pushed up the rimless glasses on his nose.

"So these glasses were prepared for that too?"

Wu Youqing nodded with a smile. "You already have a good foundation. Once you wear GOD-1280 for a while, the explosion of presence when you take them off will be enough to break through the villainess's already weak psychological defenses and ignite her desires."

"At that point, you'll be able to remove the Villainess's Crown with ease... This containment mission could only be done by you."

Xue Jing was speechless.

They wanted him to sell his looks.

Still, he really was suited for it.

Maybe he could pull off something like this—take off the glasses, then slick his hair back with Hair Gel Hand.

From this day forth, I shall stand above the heavens?...
