Chapter 10
Chapter 10: Time Is Tight, and the Task Is Heavy—The Second Female Supporting Character:
Yan Qingxue shyly pulled half the bedsheet over herself, covering her body.
Her slightly unfocused eyes gradually fixed on the man before her.
Last night, he had been too wild, completely different from his usual gentle and considerate self.
No matter how much she begged, he hadn’t relented, not even a little. It went on until the middle of the night.
But wait, why didn’t she feel repulsed by being treated so roughly?
Instead, seeing how obsessed he was with her made her feel a secret joy.
…
It was close to noon when Lu Feng finally woke up leisurely.
Glancing at the beautiful woman beside him, her face stained with tears, he felt a strong sense of accomplishment.
He had always wondered about something: in novels, the female protagonists were often described as being breathtakingly beautiful, with looks that could topple nations. But people were judged by their appearance, and without fancy clothes, even the most beautiful woman was still just a body, right?
But today, Lu Feng realized he was wrong. Yan Qingxue’s body was like a masterpiece crafted by a sculptor—graceful and flawless, her skin as white as jade.
There wasn’t a single imperfection on her entire body.
Her features were as if they had been carefully painted by an artist, exquisite and perfect. Her rosy lips were like a flower bud about to bloom. Her long, dark hair was spread beneath her, framing her beautiful face like a jade platter.
What the heck. Was this even a look a human could have?
This was what they meant by natural beauty.
No wonder she was the female lead—she didn’t need family background or ability; her body alone was enough.
[Ding! Yan Qingxue’s Luck Value has been bound to you]
Bound?
Lu Feng remembered that Yan Qingxue’s Luck Value was a whopping 8,000! But what did bound mean?
“System, I understand that I’ve won over Yan Qingxue, but what does ‘bound’ mean? Does it mean the Luck Value isn’t transferable?”
[Ding! Luck Value is transferable. When there’s no aura holder in the dimension, anyone can seize it. However, Luck Value is merely an indicative reference; seizing Luck Value doesn’t bring any tangible benefits]
The system’s prompt confused Lu Feng even more. “System, I don’t understand what you mean.”
[Ding! Luck Value is a reference index of ownership for a particular item. Due to the incomplete functionality of the Devourer System, the description was inaccurate]
Ownership?
Lu Feng suddenly understood!
In this world, where systems exist, there weren’t only urban harem novels but also fantasy ones! The system was objective, and in the system’s view, Yan Qingxue was just a key item in the plot.
Yan Qingxue’s Luck Value actually represented the percentage of ownership of this item. It was like collecting fragments in a gacha game—once all the fragments were collected, Yan Qingxue was his!
But what about the binding? Lu Feng’s thoughts raced: “System! Now that I have Yan Qingxue’s 8,000 Luck Value, does that mean Su Chen can’t take it from me anymore?”
[Ding! That’s correct. You now possess Yan Qingxue, and she is bound to you. Only death can separate her from you]
Great! Lu Feng understood! Yan Qingxue’s Luck Value had been fully transferred to him.
Essentially, she had become an extension of him—they were now one entity.
This was how it should be.
After all, in urban harem novels, the protagonist usually didn’t have just one woman. If Yan Qingxue could easily unbind after being bound, how would the plot progress?
Wait! If that was the case, there was no need to go to great lengths to keep the other female supporting characters away from Su Chen. All he needed to do was take action and seize their Luck Value—won’t that solve everything?
…
After silently kissing Yan Qingxue goodbye, Lu Feng quietly slipped out of bed and downstairs.
His most trusted assistant, Zhang Qiang, was already waiting for him.
“Congratulations for winning over Yan Qingxue, Boss.” Zhang Qiang was visibly shocked by his master’s transformation.
Just a short while ago, his boss had been like a giant baby—foolish and impulsive. But now, he had even mastered the Thirty-Six Stratagems, using tactics like ‘Steal the beams and replace with rotten timbers’ and ‘Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao’ with incredible skill!
“Boss, I must say, your methods are truly advanced. You didn’t spend a penny, and you’ve already secured her.” Zhang Qiang praised sincerely.
“Xiao Qiang, just follow my lead, and you’ll learn how to do this without making a sound.” Lu Feng said, feeling very pleased with himself as he basked in the compliments. The car sped toward Minghui Pharmaceuticals, the company where the protagonist, Su Chen, worked and also his usual stage for showing off. And there, a pure-hearted female supporting character was waiting for him to win over. This person was Xiao Yue.
…
“What? The company is being sold to the Shanning Group?”
“That’s too sudden! Didn’t Director Su’s technology save the company?”
“I heard it happened this morning. The boss almost shouted in his office.”
“Apparently, the Shanning Group is willing to pay double the price to acquire the company.”
The large white office building buzzed with noise.
Although it was work hours, many people had gathered there, even the factory workers.
At this moment, Su Chen clenched his fists, completely baffled by why the Shanning Group wanted to acquire Minghui Pharmaceuticals.
After all, this pharmaceutical company was just a small firm barely surviving by producing generic drugs.
How could a giant like the Shanning Group be interested in such a small company?
And for double the price, no less!
Could this be another turning point where he needs to step in?
But all he had were a few orders worth a few million yuan. He had planned to use them to outshine the manager and take a higher position. But things were moving too fast, wasn’t it?
“CEO Han! There’s no need to sell the company! As long as I’m here, in a year—no, in three months—I can make Minghui Pharmaceuticals surpass the Shanning Group!” Su Chen said earnestly as he approached Han Jinli.
“Stop boasting! Surpass the Shanning Group in three months? With what? How do you plan to surpass a company with assets exceeding 100 billion yuan?”
“Exactly! This brat is too arrogant!” Several workers wearing hats chimed in with mocking remarks.
Han Jinli sighed.
Su Chen certainly had talent, but what he was saying was too far-fetched.
Surpass the Shanning Group in three months?
Even if he had a money-printing machine churning out ten billion a day, it wouldn’t be enough to reach half of the Shanning Group’s assets in 90 days.
Han couldn’t explain why, but when Su Chen said such things in the past, he felt a glimmer of belief.
But today, he found Su Chen’s words absurd, and they left him with a feeling of intense dislike.
