Chapter 348: Emotion Points!

Leng Shuang looked coldly at Qian Lian.

"Where did you hear that?"

Qian Lian gulped when she saw her frightening expression.

She quickly explained, "Remember how you were drinking so heavily the day before yesterday while thinking about Chu Jing?"

"Get to the point."

"That was the first time I had ever seen you drunk like that. So, to tease you, I asked several embarrassing questions and recorded them."

Qian Lian spoke until she suddenly clapped a hand over her mouth.

She realised that she had probably spoken way more than she should.

"Where’s the recording? What else did you record?"

Leng Shuang pressed.

Qian Lian could feel an intense pressure locking onto her.

"L-like some embarrassing things from your past. For example, what kind of material you use to relieve yourself..."

[Ding! Shame Points from Leng Shuang, +199!]

Qian Lian was nervous, but there was also a mischievous glint in her eyes as she continued.

"Also, I didn’t even ask, but you told me yourself that recently you’ve been interested in things like Yuri content."

[Ding! Defense-Break Points from Leng Shuang, +299!]

"I can see you’re taking that girl Chu Jing quite seriously. I’ll definitely cheer for you two."

[Ding! Shame Points from Leng Shuang, +199!]

[Ding! Anger Points from Leng Shuang, +199!]

"QIAN LIAN! I’LL KILL YOU!"

Oops, I overdid it.

Qian Lian finally realised just how dangerous her system could be if she didn’t handle it properly.

"Master, save me!"

She immediately begged for help.

Su Mo silently averted his eyes.

"One must be responsible for what they say."

"Aaaah! I’m sorry! I won’t do it again! Forgive me, Shuang. My lovely sister, my bestie!"

Qian Lian cried while desperately playing the emotional card.

Leng Shuang snorted.

"I’ll deal with you later."

She then turned toward Su Mo.

"Master, there’s something I wanted to discuss with you regarding the company."

"Speak up. What’s wrong?"

"It’s regarding our company’s new product. The researchers conducting the study on axolotls recently made a breakthrough."

Su Mo nodded with a serious expression before asking,

"What’s an Axolotl?"

"..."

Leng Shuang’s lips twitched.

If you didn’t know, why were you nodding so seriously?

She sighed and explained,

"Basically, an Axolotl is a type of salamander that has an amazing ability to heal and regenerate its body. Even after suffering serious injuries, it can regrow damaged tissue without leaving much scarring."

Su Mo nodded in understanding before asking,

"How does its regeneration speed compare to mine?"

"..."

Leng Shuang’s brows twitched.

"Master, I’m talking about science. Can you put your metaphysics aside for now?"

Su Mo frowned.

"My body is very scientific."

"Yes, yes."

Leng Shuang nodded half-heartedly.

"Back to the point."

"The researchers studying axolotls have made some progress and developed a serum that can help wounds recover faster and heal scars."

"That’s good news. So what’s the issue?"

"I want to know how we should launch this product. Should we launch it as a medicine or as some other more commercially viable product?"

Su Mo fell silent for a moment as he thought about it.

Then he asked,

"Is there a similar product on the market?"

"Yes, but it’s much less effective."

"How less?"

"Our product is 900% more effective than the best one available."

Leng Shuang stated it calmly.

This time, it was Su Mo’s turn to be surprised.

"Are our company’s researchers really that powerful? If so, why was Ankang Biotech only a mid-level company before?"

"Actually, I made some changes earlier. I removed those who were wasting resources or whose projects weren’t useful enough, then recruited new talent. Secretary Lin was a great help regarding that matter."

Su Mo nodded, finally understanding how the company had managed to produce such an amazing product.

So they had recruited fresh talents.

Then, he returned to the main point.

"Hmm... As for how we should sell this product..."

Just as he was lost in thought, a heartbroken scream suddenly came from beside them.

"NOOO! WHY?! What’s the use of beauty?! I want cultivation techniques and powerful abilities!"

"What happened?"

Su Mo looked at Qian Lian in confusion.

"Master, wuwu..."

"Stop crying. Speak properly."

"I just did a lottery."

What had actually happened was that Qian Lian had noticed that the Emotional Points she had collected earlier were enough for one Beginner-level pull.

Naturally, she decided to give it a try.

Who knows, maybe she would hit the jackpot on her very first attempt.

Well, she did get a high level item.

Unfortunately...

[Ding! Critical Hit!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a high-level item: High-Grade Cosmetic Set ×1]

[Description: Which woman doesn’t care about her appearance?]

"..."

Qian Lian stared at the reward in disbelief.

She wanted cultivation techniques and powerful abilities.

Why had the system given her cosmetics instead?

"No! I don’t want this!"

Her heart was broken.

---

"You mean you got a Critical Hit, but the reward was a cosmetic set?"

Su Mo confirmed.

"Exactly! What’s the use of a cosmetic set? I want magical abilities! Like breathing fire, flying through the sky, transforming into dragons, and..."

"Alright, alright. I get it."

Su Mo stopped her when he saw her getting increasingly excited.

Leng Shuang, on the other hand, frowned.

"You haven’t even done anything. How did you collect your System Points?"

"..." Su Mo.

"..." Qian Lian.

"Can you obtain points without doing anything?" Leng Shuang guessed enviously. "Is it really that easy?"

"Easy? What utter nonsense!" Qian Lian became quite agitated.

"Every single one of my System Points is earned through blood, sweat, and tears! I risk my life, walking at the edge of sharp blades. What do you know?!"

"Perplexing. I haven’t seen you risk anything." Leng Shuang muttered.

However, after complaining, she didn’t question it any further.

Anyway, she still preferred her own system.

Assigning her tasks and giving her rewards after completion was a method she had been accustomed to for years while working as a killer. It suited her perfectly.

Su Mo, however, became curious.

"How good are those cosmetics?"
