Then my cheat wasn't opened for nothing??

[I Have a Dream!]

[That dream is to rely on a rich woman!]

[A young, beautiful, and rich woman is the best among them!]

[And many young, beautiful, and rich women are even better!!!]

To this day.

Xi Shenlian still hadn't forgotten his ideals and goals from the past.

There was no helping it; he had really pondered it over and over in his heart back then...

Along the way, he even had the grand dream of becoming the number one host on Host Street!

But later, he realized that rich women were more practical.

After all, being a host was also for the sake of rich women.

So, going directly to rich women undoubtedly meant taking fewer detours.

Therefore, being the scumbag he was, he decisively abandoned the host route.

Now.

Looking at Ouin Chiyoka in front of him, Xi Shenlian's past dream subconsciously resurfaced.

Even though he didn't need any rich women now, or rather, he could create as many rich women as he wanted.

As for the introduction mentioned by the other party.

Xi Shenlian didn't care much.

Such things...

Were truly insignificant.

He didn't need any backing.

Even if he were to join some faction.

It would only be for fun.

Besides, he could clearly sense that Ouin Chiyoka was deliberately avoiding the important points.

For example, what was her status in the Ouin Family?

This would determine how much significance her introduction held.

How many members would a great family that had spanned thousands of years have?

Xi Shenlian simply did a quick calculation and felt it would be a considerable number, perhaps enough to form a town...

And judging by the fact that Ouin Chiyoka didn't have a large retinue of bodyguards with her at all times, and that the surveillance personnel in the distance didn't appear overly tense while she was with him.

He figured.

Her status within the Ouin Family probably wasn't very high.

She was likely not a direct descendant.

If she were a very important direct descendant, Xi Shenlian didn't think he and she could still be sitting so calmly in this coffee shop...

Even though her personality had obvious issues, Xi Shenlian saw many things very clearly.

Therefore.

Although the other party was definitely a little rich woman.

He still didn't hesitate and said decisively:

"I'm very sorry, I have no interest in joining any factions. I prefer to play around freely."

Yes, play around.

In his eyes, his life was now only about carefree play.

Looking around.

He couldn't see any difficult paths ahead.

As for his answer.

Ouin Chiyoka was somewhat disappointed, but not too surprised.

From Xi Shenlian's attire and demeanor, she already knew that he was not lacking in money.

Based on this, conventional benefits genuinely couldn't attract him.

Therefore, she changed her approach to something she thought would be more appealing:

"In my family, not only do we possess many secret techniques that have long been lost to the outside world, but for important members, the supply of various resources is unparalleled by any other force globally. And..."

But Xi Shenlian directly interrupted her:

"No, no, no..."

"I think you've misunderstood something."

"The reason I refused to join your faction wasn't simply because the benefits weren't enough."

"The truth is, it's more fundamental than that – I simply don't like taking orders from others."

"In my opinion, no one can order me around, which is why I don't want to pledge allegiance to any faction."

"That kind of thing… just thinking about it feels like too much of a hassle~"

If his abilities weren't enough, or if his own fundamental conditions weren't good enough.

Xi Shenlian would naturally not refuse the opportunity to join a major faction.

Because doing so would be better than a lot of effort.

After all, what is often called "struggle" in the end often amounts to working for someone else.

Even if you think you're starting your own business, it's the same.

Society is a pyramid structure.

For anyone not at the very top, all their efforts will eventually be partially siphoned off by those in the upper echelons.

Just like if you open your own company, no matter how successful its operations, you still have to pay taxes to the higher-ups or grease palms to manage various relationships.

The pyramid is layered, one after another…

Countless people at the lower levels support a smaller number of people at the upper levels; this is unavoidable.

Humans preying on humans!

The strong preying on the weak!

This is the essence of humanity!

And even the essence of life!

But Xi Shenlian clearly possessed the ability to leap to the top of the pyramid and rebuild it.

This made joining any so-called faction completely meaningless to him.

If you can suck everyone else's blood, why let yourself be bled dry by them?

Of course…

If he were to act on a whim, driven by some strange impulse.

Then, there was still a chance he might casually join some faction.

He was that kind of person.

One had to be happy in life~

If he could be happy.

Then he wouldn't mind taking a small loss.

As for using his cheat system to change society and achieve equality for all, he had absolutely no interest.

Equality for all?

What a joke.

Who would be my lackeys then?

Who would serve as the social underclass to highlight everyone else's happiness?

Hearing Xi Shenlian's reply now.

"No one can order you?"

Ouin Chiyoka paused for a moment, then burst into exaggerated laughter:

"Hahahaha…"

"Are you kidding me??"

"Is this something an Awakened who only recently awakened would say???"

"Do you think you're one of those [Ascended Stage Awakened]??"

In response.

Xi Shenlian showed no particular reaction.

His expression remained quite calm.

He wasn't angered at all by her exaggerated mockery.

Because her reaction was perfectly normal.

A mere Awakened who had only recently awakened indeed had no right to say such things.

However, he had a cheat system!!

So, Xi Shenlian didn't feel there was anything wrong with what he said.

Damn it, if I have a cheat system and still can't do whatever I want, then what's the point of having it?? (Shrug.jpg)

The [Life Winner System - Luxury Supreme Custom Edition] would certainly not agree:

"Then I came here for nothing??"

This gave Xi Shenlian ample confidence.

There was no need to pay attention to Ouin Chiyoka's sarcasm at all.

Confidence, he had it in spades!!

After chuckling to himself for a while.

Seeing Xi Shenlian, who completely ignored her and remained incredibly calm.

Ouin Chiyoka eventually put away her laughter, feeling a bit bored.

She then frowned and leaned her head closer to Xi Shenlian.

Looking directly into Xi Shenlian's strange, deep purple eyes, she asked a question she absolutely didn't want to believe:

"Are you serious?"

It felt like seeing a random passerby declare they were going to conquer the world.

Did she believe it?

She certainly didn't.

Xi Shenlian smiled and said:

"Of course, I'm very serious~"

"..."

Ouin Chiyoka looked at him, his expression not suggesting he was lying, and felt a deep sense of helplessness:

"Listen to my advice... If you really can't manage, you should go see a psychologist."

"One can be confident, but one really shouldn't be too confident!!"
