I have a dream!
That is to marry into a rich woman's family!
A young and beautiful rich woman would be an excellent choice!
And many young and beautiful rich women would be even better!!!
To this day.
Xi Shenlian still had not forgotten his former ideals and goals.
He couldn't help it. Back then, he had genuinely mulled it over repeatedly for a long time...
At one point, he had even harbored the grand dream of going to Host Street and becoming the number-one host!
But later, he discovered that marrying into a rich woman's family was more practical.
After all, becoming a host was also for the sake of rich women.
In that case, going straight to find a rich woman would undoubtedly save him a lot of detours.
Thus, as a scumbag, he decisively abandoned the host route.
Now.
Looking at Ouin Chiyoka before him, Xi Shenlian's former dream subconsciously surfaced once more.
Even though he no longer needed a rich woman—or rather, he could create as many rich women as he wanted.
As for the recommendation the other party had mentioned.
Xi Shenlian did not really care about it.
That sort of thing...
Was honestly unimportant.
He did not need a backer.
Even if he really joined some organization.
It would only be for fun.
Besides, he could clearly sense that Ouin Chiyoka had glossed over certain important details.
For example, what kind of position did she actually hold in the Ouin Family?
That would determine how much significance her recommendation truly carried.
How many members could a great family that had continued for several thousand years have?
Xi Shenlian had only done a simple calculation, but he already felt that it would be a considerable number—perhaps enough to form an entire town...
And judging by the fact that Ouin Chiyoka did not constantly have a large number of bodyguards with her, as well as the fact that the people monitoring them from afar did not seem overly nervous while she was with him.
It stood to reason.
Her status in the Ouin Family was probably not very high.
She was likely not a direct-line member.
If she were truly an important direct-line member, Xi Shenlian did not think he and she could still be sitting so peacefully in this café...
Although his personality had obvious problems, Xi Shenlian saw many things very clearly.
Therefore.
Although she was definitely a little rich woman.
He still did not hesitate at all and said very decisively:
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in joining an organization. I'd much rather play freely."
Yes, play.
In his eyes, his life had already been reduced to carefree play.
Looking around.
He could not see any rugged roads ahead at all.
As for his answer.
Ouin Chiyoka was somewhat disappointed, but she was not particularly surprised.
From Xi Shenlian's clothes and appearance, she knew that he was not short of money himself.
Based on that, ordinary benefits really could not attract him.
Therefore, she changed to what she considered a more appealing pitch:
"Within my family, we possess not only many secret techniques that have long since been lost to the outside world, but also a supply of resources for important members that few organizations anywhere in the world can match, and furthermore..."
But Xi Shenlian interrupted her directly:
"No, no, no..."
"You seem to have misunderstood something."
"The reason I'm refusing to join your organization isn't simply that the benefits aren't enough."
"The real reason is even more basic: I simply don't want to obey other people's orders."
"In my view, no one has the right to order me around, which is why I don't want to join any organization."
"Just thinking about that sort of thing is already too troublesome~"
If his abilities were insufficient, or if his fundamental conditions were not good enough.
Xi Shenlian naturally would not refuse the opportunity to join a powerful organization.
Because that would surpass countless efforts.
After all, so-called striving often amounted to working for certain people in the end.
Even if you thought you were starting your own business, the same still applied.
Society was structured like a pyramid.
Everyone who was not at the very top would ultimately have part of their efforts distributed to those in the upper layers.
For example, even if you started your own company and operated it successfully, you would still have to pay taxes to the authorities and maintain all sorts of relationships above and below.
The pyramid was composed of layer upon layer...
Countless people at the bottom supported the far fewer people above them. That was unavoidable.
People devoured people!
The strong devoured the weak!
That was the essence of humanity!
And even more so, the essence of life!
But Xi Shenlian clearly possessed the ability to leap to the top of the pyramid and rebuild it.
That made joining some so-called organization completely meaningless to him.
If he could suck the blood of everyone, why should he let the other party suck his blood?
Of course...
If he happened to be bored and went crazy for no reason.
Then there was still a chance he might casually join some organization.
That was simply the kind of person he was.
One had to be happy in life~
If it could make him happy.
Then he did not mind suffering a little loss.
As for using his cheat to change society and achieve equality for all, he had absolutely no interest in that.
Equality for all?
What a joke.
Then who would be my lackey?
And who would serve as the bottom of society to highlight everyone else's sense of happiness?
And now, upon hearing Xi Shenlian's answer.
"No one has the right to order you around?"
Ouin Chiyoka froze for a moment before bursting into somewhat exaggerated laughter:
"Hahahaha..."
"What are you talking about??"
"Those are words an Awakened who only recently awakened can say???"
"Do you think you're an Ascended Stage Awakened??"
Xi Shenlian did not give any superfluous response.
His expression remained quite calm.
He was not annoyed in the slightest by her somewhat 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!!
Thus, Xi Shenlian did not think there was anything wrong with what he had said.
Damn it, I've already got a cheat. If I still can't do whatever I want, then wouldn't activating my cheat have been pointless?? (shrug.jpg)
The Life Winner System—Luxury Supreme Custom Edition obviously would not agree to that either:
"Wouldn't I have come here for nothing??"
This gave Xi Shenlian ample confidence.
He had no need to care about Ouin Chiyoka's sarcasm.
His confidence was simply that abundant!!
After laughing to herself for a while.
Looking at Xi Shenlian, who completely ignored her and remained incomparably calm.
Ouin Chiyoka eventually found it somewhat boring and stopped laughing.
Then she frowned and leaned her head closer to Xi Shenlian.
Staring directly at Xi Shenlian's strange, deep-purple pupils, she asked a question she absolutely did not want to believe:
"Are you serious?"
It felt just like watching a passerby announce that he was going to unify the world.
Would you believe her if you asked?
She definitely would not.
Xi Shenlian smiled and said:
"Of course I'm serious~"
"..."
Looking at his expression, which did not seem like he was lying, Ouin Chiyoka felt helpless from the bottom of her heart:
"Take my advice... if nothing else works, go see a psychologist."
"A person can be confident, but you really can't be overconfident!!"
