As his status rises, Mu Rufeng becomes a shareholder of Scarlet Preferred, gaining expanded access through its application 173. He uses his wealth and abilities to support his parents and grandparents, giving them money and Attribute Fruits to improve their health. He also helps his father complete a stone-railing project in a single afternoon 188 224.

He continues his rise through Golden City and later begins training reserve contractors at the Wancheng District Branch 239.

Mu Rufeng enters the special solo dungeon Ancient Battlefield, where he wins Great Xia’s military martial-arts competition and later helps repel a barbarian army.

Mu Rufeng is secretive and cautious about his gains. After clearing Scarlet Preferred, he conceals both his true completion rate and portions of his rewards, understanding that rare items attract unwanted attention 33.
