Li Yang placed the cup down on the counter, wiping the corner of his lip. “It doesn’t taste half bad…there’s a weird salty aftertaste however that wasn’t removed in the process of boiling it.”

“What the—?” The Panda gawked. “Is that you’re all going to say?”

He eyed the notification and coughed slightly, “There are a lot of implications between this tea and Bo Lifen. I plan to ask her tomorrow if I can or confront my neighbor.” He had met Mou Gu and Shen Society by chance thanks to Ying Yue He… but there was someone nearby like Grandmother Lanfen all along?

It was such a huge coincidence..

The old lady had been right under his nose.

There was probably no danger associated if the Bo Family had been willing to give him this special tea. At least he’d like to think of it that way, he could be wrong. Still, did that mean that one can procure these kinds of tea in the Heavenly Jade Pavillion that Bo Lifen works in?

“I mean you’re not wrong—” The Panda slapped a paw over its face. “Most viewers like watching other people enjoy new drinks and meals but you’re offending whoever collected that and where it came from! That thing is probably guarded jealously by… argh.” It pointed its furry paw in front of him. “See for yourself.”

The creature placed the notification boxes right in his face.

He scratched the back of his neck, swiping down the notifications and turning back to the creature. “Perhaps if it was prepared better then I would have appreciated it more, although I am aware that black pearls are quite rare. Judging by the notification—it’s not those black pearls that have a shade of other colors. Quite an expensive pearl boiled and made into tea, I am fortunate.”

The Panda blinked.

[ You Have Received 100 Charm Points ]

Li Yang managed a smile and inclined his head. “Thank you.”

“…” The creature shook its head in disbelief. It pointed to the doorway, “Alright, it’s time for you to sleep. Must be the rain getting to your head now, I knew it wasn’t a fucking good idea. Change your clothes—”

The Panda took a deep inhale, “Thirsty—”

“Do I hear one million charm points?” Li Yang raised a brow and then rubbed his chin. He managed a slight smile on his lips, “Perhaps a billion charm points would be a better offer honestly. If one gives me a tip then I will consider it.”

Li Yang shook his head and threw a look at the Panda, “Stay out of my room this time. Good night.”

“…ah, whatever!” The Panda called after him. “I’m sure there’s nothing to see! Who wanted to see filthy flesh? Skin bag!”

The choice of insults was weird but he ignored it.

Instead of giving the creature any kind of answer, he proceeded to walk out of the kitchen and headed back to his room. He was aware that those words of his would mildly surprise them, it might have even angered them—but at least he earned some Charm Points.

He bit back a chuckle.

The viewers seemed to be stingy, however. It still wasn’t enough to have him purchase root unlockment, but since the opportunity had presented itself then he had taken it.

If anything though, he was greatly disturbed with the lack of privacy.

Even a reality show wouldn’t feature the people changing clothes or anything, right? Li Yang hadn’t exactly opened up television for the past year or so, he honestly couldn’t tell. But still, that was as much as he could lower himself—he wouldn’t bow his head down to whoever was watching.

Gauging by the reactions, they were less willing to pay for it and that was fine for him.

He had set a price and he could only hope that the Panda didn’t follow him around this time. Little by little he was beginning to grasp the entirety of the situation he was in, the features that occur, and how he could use them for his own benefit.

Li Yang would rely on this for now.

But tomorrow might also give him a chance. He stepped into his room and took a shower, compared to his earlier sensations during his first bath—it lacked the same response as before. It was perhaps him already getting used to the level of qi in the water source then. The man then proceeded to pluck out the evil-qi dispelling talisman from his jacket and wrapped a towel around his waist.

There was one thing that hadn’t exactly come to his mind, his hesitation made it hard for him to think that the System was truly made for him… but he tried for a question.

[ There Are No Viewers ]

‘Is it possible to block viewers?’

[ Current Methods Involve Distancing Away From The ‘Panda’ Transmitter ]

[ Other Methods Are Still Unavailable ]

“I see…”

It was true that these ‘Viewers’ had given him much more Charm Points than the two women he had interacted with ever did—but he still wished to have breathing room. He could pretend that nobody was looking, and yet it was hard to fool himself. It was great to have silence but surely the Panda creature could also turn itself invisible.

The thing could prevent other people from seeing it, even as it interacted with actual objects in its vicinity. The very same thing could happen right now, but hopefully, those words of disgust thrown at him were enough to make the Panda choose not to spy on him.

…He honestly doubted the System as well.

[ The System Is Integrated Into The Host ]

“But it could be transferred.” Li Yang replied to the disembodied voice, shaking his head. He was talking to something more akin to an artificial program, wasn’t he? It was even in the word ‘System’ that seemed close to computer systems and interfaces.

[ Possibility To Transfer Is Currently Unavailable ]

[ Transfer Can Shatter Human Soul ]

And yet the Panda had blabbered about it before didn’t it—that meant the creature was willing to shatter his ‘soul’ to find another host? He understood that the creature had its own share of troubles, but perhaps he should have expected this much. “Finding a worthy and more grateful one.” It was such an idea. Surely nobody would like to enslave oneself to a System right? Unless the rewards were truly worth it.

Perhaps it would be.

He would do his best to not get the shorter end of the stick. And so this was his burden to bear. The man stepped out of the bathroom and sighed.

The sound of another door swung open, “Hey, will ya strip for 100,000 Charm Points—”
