Oscar's Incompetent Jealousy

Fu Qin stood up, watching the satisfied smiles on the faces of the three girls, feeling immensely smug.

These three magical artifacts would not only enhance their strength but also further bridge the distance between them.

At this moment, outside the room, Oscar, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San were peeking through the door crack.

Oscar's face was filled with jealousy and resentment; he had not expected Fu Qin to be so generous.

[Ding! Detected that Oscar's inner state has shifted from jealousy to hatred.]

[Intelligence-Reducing Halo activated. Oscar's hatred value has been converted into jealousy value for the Host.]

[Current jealousy value +50, current jealousy value 99.]

Looking at the information on the panel, the corners of Fu Qin's eyes twitched slightly.

Good grief, when facing someone who could harm him, the Intelligence-Reducing Halo on his body made them believe he was a good person.

When facing someone who couldn't harm him, the Intelligence-Reducing Halo made that person feel only jealousy instead of hatred.

Could this be the legendary impotent rage?

Seeing this scene, Tang San and the others felt nothing amiss under the influence of the Intelligence-Reducing Halo.

Especially Tang San; upon hearing that the items Fu Qin forged had such effects, his heart was genuinely happy for Xiao Wu.

After all, Xiao Wu's soul beast aura had always been his only Achilles' heel.

Now that the soul beast aura was masked, Xiao Wu's identity would not be discovered by those powerful experts.

"This magical artifact thing Fu Qin made seems really impressive!" Ma Hongjun lowered his voice, his eyes filled with a hint of envy.

"Third Brother, aren't you his good brother? Can you ask Fu Qin to forge one for each of us?"

Dai Mubai also nodded, his eyes full of admiration: "That's right, his artifact is truly heaven-defying; it's completely comparable to the amplification of a thousand-year soul bone!"

Oscar quickly chimed in: "Exactly, if we could each have one, our combat effectiveness would definitely increase significantly!"

Hearing their words, Tang San was actually quite moved, preparing to find an opportunity to ask Fu Qin if he could help them make one or two artifacts.

But soon, the conversation between Dai Mubai and the others veered off course.

After all, the way Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong had kissed Fu Qin earlier was real.

However, Tang San frowned and shook his head at the three of them.

"Don't misunderstand Fu Qin; he isn't that kind of person."

Under the influence of the Intelligence-Reducing Halo, he still firmly believed that Fu Qin was his good brother.

"Xiao Wu kissing him and Rongrong hugging him was just out of gratitude; you guys are overthinking it."

He paused, looking at Fu Qin's shy appearance, and became even more convinced of his own thoughts.

"Look at Fu Qin, he's so embarrassed from being kissed by them; he's clearly a pure-hearted person, how could he possibly do such things?"

Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun exchanged glances, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

They were just saying it, yet Tang San had actually taken it seriously again.

Inside the room, Fu Qin sensed the presence outside the door vanish. The shy expression on his face faded instantly, replaced by a playful smile.

He looked at the three beautiful girls before him, feeling incredibly content.

Watching the favorability ratings soar, he was getting closer and closer to completely winning over these two beauties, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with these three magical artifacts?" Fu Qin asked with a smile.

"Satisfied! Extremely satisfied!" Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong said in unison, their faces full of joy.

Zhu Zhuqing also nodded, a rare smile appearing on her cold face: "Thank you, Fu Qin... brother."

At dusk.

Tang San tiptoed to the door of Fu Qin's room.

Ever since he saw the shimmering magical artifacts in the hands of Xiao Wu and the others at noon, his heart had been burning with desire.

"Fu Qin, are you free right now?" Tang San raised his hand to tap lightly on the wooden door, his voice carrying a hint of urgency.

The door creaked open. Fu Qin, dressed in black, leaned against the doorframe, a deep smile in his eyes.

"Third Brother, you've come at the right time. I assume Sister Xiao Wu has already told you about the artifacts."

The two entered the room and sat down. A Soul Bone Fragment radiating the intense fluctuations of a thousand-year soul bone appeared in Fu Qin's palm.

"The source of the artifacts for Xiao Wu and the others is this soul bone. Of course, now that it is shattered, it can no longer be fused by anyone." His tone was calm, yet it struck Tang San's ears like a thunderclap.

"While tracking the Titan Giant Ape the day before yesterday, I encountered a thousand-year soul beast blocking the path and killed it on a whim. I didn't expect it to drop such a treasure."

Tang San's pupils shrank, his fingertips unconsciously gripping his sleeves tightly. A thousand-year soul bone! That was a supreme treasure that every soul master dreamed of, something many would give their all to obtain, yet Fu Qin had used it to forge auxiliary weapons for three auxiliary-type soul masters?

Such a grand gesture, such boldness—it was simply inconceivable!

He had originally thought Fu Qin was merely formidable in strength, but only now did he realize the man's magnanimity far exceeded that of ordinary people.

A warm current surged into his heart, and his favorability toward Fu Qin skyrocketed instantly.

[Tang San favorability +50, current favorability 229 points]

"Fu Qin, you..." Tang San was momentarily speechless, unable to find the words to express his admiration.

Fu Qin smiled, flipped his palm, and eight streaks of ghostly blue sword light suddenly appeared, circling and dancing in the room; the chilling aura seemed to make the very air freeze.

"Third Brother, this is something I forged for myself, the Demon Spider Flying Sword." With a flick of his fingertip, one of the flying swords stopped instantly before Tang San's eyes, its blade covered in fine, dense spider patterns.

"By a stroke of luck, I encountered a Man Faced Demon Spider. Although its spirit ring attribute didn't suit me, the texture of its Spider Leg Spirit Bone was incredibly hard, making it perfect for forging flying swords."

"A Man Faced Demon Spider?!" Tang San stood up abruptly, his face filled with shock.

In his past life, when he encountered a Man Faced Demon Spider, he would have surely perished if not for the aid of his hidden weapons.

Fu Qin had not only encountered one but had also managed to kill it and refine it into a weapon; just how terrifyingly powerful was he?

What warmed his heart even more was that even though Fu Qin clearly needed spirit bones himself, he had prioritized Xiao Wu and the others.

Under the subtle influence of the Intelligence-Reducing Halo, the trace of wariness Tang San had felt due to the disparity in their strength had long since vanished, leaving behind only pure admiration and trust.

Fu Qin retracted the flying swords, his tone carrying a hint of apology.

"Actually, I had intended to forge a suitable magical artifact for you as well, Third Brother, but there was only one thousand-year spirit bone, and I couldn't gather the other materials. It is truly..."

"Fu Qin, you don't need to blame yourself!" Tang San waved his hands hurriedly, his tone sincere.

"I have enough strength to protect myself; the so-called magical artifacts you forge are not a necessity for me."

"The fact that you thought of me is enough to make me endlessly grateful." He truly meant it; Fu Qin's generosity had already exceeded his expectations, so how could he ask for more?

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Tang San rose to take his leave.

Before long, he told Dai Mubai and the others about this matter, letting them witness Fu Qin's righteousness as well.

Returning to the residence of the Shrek group, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar were sitting together, cultivating.

Upon hearing Tang San's account, Dai Mubai slammed the table, his face full of praise.
