Even in ordinary attire, she was still able to show how good her natural beauty was, giving people the feeling of a sickly beauty... Come to think of it, after all, the old man Jiang Fengshan adopted Jiang Chengcheng with the initial goal of raising her to be a socialite like Xia Ke'an.

"This outfit looks great on you, it suits you very well."

Xu Shi couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Chengcheng blushed and lowered her head when she heard this.

"Data monitoring shows that your 're-promotion,' young master, was very successful, leaving no lasting effects."

Su Lin then got down to business, "However, the level after the 'upgrade' is only A-, which is still a little short of A-."

To be honest, Xu Shi's mental health data these past few days has been quite alarming—it's the first time in all these years that she's seen such dramatic data fluctuations, with his electrocardiogram even dropping to zero several times.

Fortunately, the outcome was a close call.

My young master is just different from everyone else.

Xu Shi was not surprised by this result at all; whether his abilities had improved or not was basically in his mind the moment he regained consciousness.

A- is certainly not bad; such minor branches are harmless and can be easily consolidated to reach a normal A-level.

However, this "upgrade" has not brought about any significant impact on its capabilities.

He still couldn't unlock the aura... but instead was granted a new effect that could take effect immediately.

"Injection of victimhood intent"

Unlike the long-term effects of "increased entropy of malice," this branch of ability is more abstract—it can use an extremely strong mental shock to make others no longer believe that they have become "victims" in a short period of time.

If the target has a low level of mental health, they may even develop a certain dependence on the experience of being "victimized" while their abilities continue.

That's not a bad idea... Xu Shi nodded secretly, wanting to find someone to harm right now.

However, he decided against using such a thing on the two of them and changed the subject, asking Su Lin instead.

"What's the situation outside while I've been in a coma?"

"...Let me tell you about them one by one."

Su Lin replied respectfully, "Over in Sin City... 'Disger's' strength seems to be growing rapidly recently. According to our informant, they've likely accepted 'Spark's' defection."

Oh ho?
