Xiao Wu returned to his room, opened his live stream with a heavy heart, and sang and danced with all his might.

After the live stream ended, Xiao Wu slapped his forehead, fuming, "Fourth Brother knows everything! I don't even know what Fourth Brother's system is called! Damn it!"

At this moment, Han Chengsi is writing a detailed plan.

How to recruit more followers?

How can I get more points and cunning points?

First, torture the person you're planning to take as your underling to death, then descend like Buddha to save them from dire straits, making them grateful to tears and willingly serve you like a beast of burden!

Han Chengsi put down his pen and sighed, "This won't work. The truth will eventually come out. Once they find out that I was the one who put them in that situation, there's a high chance they'll betray me! I need to change my strategy!"

He wrote a few more lines on the paper.

Seek out those who suffer, make them my benefactors, and inspire their unwavering loyalty.

"That won't work either, the 'cunning' stat can't be increased!"

"The system is a cunning villain system. The higher the cunning value, the more points you get for each follower you gain! With the current cunning value, you get 100 points for each follower you gain. If the cunning value doubles, the points for each follower you gain will also double!"

"You have to accumulate cunning points before you can recruit underlings to maximize your score!"

Han Chengsi wrote page after page, staying up all night, before finally producing a satisfactory proposal.

He memorized the plan, then burned it.

Smelling the smoke, Old Xu rushed over: "Little Si, what are you burning! Be careful of the fire!"

"Grandpa Xu, I put it in an iron basin to burn, it will be fine."

"What are you burning?" It was already a lump of black ash, and Old Man Xu couldn't make out anything.

Han Chengsi whispered, "The exam paper, the results weren't good, don't tell my grandpa."

Old Xu pointed at him from a distance: "You! You little rascal!"

He didn't believe Xiao Si's grades were bad; he just didn't want to tell him and made up a lie.

Old Xu didn't press the issue; if the child didn't want to talk about it, he, being an old man, wouldn't press the issue and annoy people.

"I'm going to see my eldest grandson. Do you want to come with me? Kang Kang really likes you."

"OK!"

Old Xu was surprised by his straightforwardness and chuckled, "Come on, Kang Kang will be very happy to see you!"

Old Xu's grandson, Kang Kang, has grown from a baby into a mischievous little rascal who can run and jump. The three-year-old is so naughty that even cats and dogs hate him.

When Kang Kang saw that it was his grandfather, he was overjoyed. He ran to his grandfather's side and kept calling out "Grandpa!" in his loud voice until Grandpa Xu took out an Ultraman toy. Only after getting the toy did the child stop clinging to it and keep calling out.

He spotted Han Chengsi following behind Old Man Xu, and excitedly rushed over, grabbing Han Chengsi's leg: "Fourth Brother!"

Han Chengsi is so popular simply because during the Chinese New Year, he told this little guy the story of Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Han Chengsi thought the little guy was too noisy, so he used stories to quiet him down. He didn't expect that the little guy would become so attached to him after that.

"You seem to have gained weight again." Han Chengsi pinched Kang Kang's chubby cheeks: "Looks like you've been eating well lately and haven't been picky about food."

Kang Kang stood proudly with his head held high and chest out, looking as chubby and energetic as the former Little Fatty Wu.

"I eat carrots and bok choy every day now, I'm not a picky eater! I want to become a warrior like Ultraman and Sun Wukong!"

Han Chengsi smiled and said, "That's a great ambition. If you join the army in the future, you can become a soldier."

Old Xu's radar went off, and he immediately hugged his big, fat grandson and coaxed him, "Why does my Kang Kang want to be a soldier? Kang Kang, don't be a soldier. Being a soldier is tough, and once you go to the military camp, you can't come back to see Grandpa. Grandpa will only see you once in a very long time, and Grandpa will miss you terribly. You can't go, please don't go!"

Kang Kang blinked his innocent eyes. Although he didn't understand his grandfather, everything his grandfather said made sense. He nodded and said, "Okay, I won't go! If Grandpa doesn't want Kang Kang to go, then Kang Kang won't go!"

"Kang Kang, let your brother teach you how to play with the golden cudgel."

"Yay!"

Little Fatty Kang Kang immediately forgot about his time in the army and followed Xiao Si closely, like a little shadow.

The Golden Cudgel is a type of game stick, a long, thin stick. When you hold one end and let go, the pieces naturally scatter, some stacked together and some scattered in another place.

The game is played by one person holding a stick. They can pick up the stick, but they cannot touch other sticks while picking it up. Once another stick moves, the player loses and it's the other person's turn. If the stick doesn't move, the player can keep picking up the stick.

At the end of the game, all the sticks are picked up, and the two players count the sticks they have. Whoever has more sticks wins.

Kang Kang's chubby little hands couldn't stay still at all, and he failed every time, causing the other sticks to move.

Kang Kang lost again and again, and eventually lost all confidence.

"Fourth brother, you're so amazing! Kang Kang admires you so much! Can you let Kang Kang win this time?"

What's in it for me?

"Benefits?" Kang Kang tilted his little head, his big eyes looking confused: "Fourth brother, Kang Kang can give you all the candy."

"I don't like sweets."

"Kang Kang has nothing to give to Fourth Brother. Do you want Ultraman?" Kang Kang handed over the Ultraman he was holding.

Han Chengsi shook his head: "That won't be necessary."

"Then what do you want? Kang Kang has nothing good left, Kang Kang only has himself." The chubby little hand pinched his little belly: "Kang Kang, give yourself to Fourth Brother?"

Han Chengsi chuckled: "That works too. You can become my underling."

"Okay!" Kang Kang readily agreed, "Kang Kang will be Fourth Brother's little brother! In the TV show, the three brothers swore brotherhood in the Peach Garden, and I want to swear brotherhood with Fourth Brother in the Peach Garden too!"

"You know quite a lot!" Han Chengsi pinched his chubby little face.

Kang Kang was a resourceful person; he actually found an incense burner, two sticks of incense, and two peaches and placed them on the table.

"Fourth Brother, now that we have the Peach Garden, let's offer incense and become sworn brothers!"

He pointed to two peaches, indicating that this was the peach orchard he had cultivated for Han Chengsi!

Han Chengsi: "...Okay."

Just as the two lit the incense and were about to recite a line they had learned from TV, his mother rushed over and exclaimed, "Who? Who took away the incense burner I used for Qingming Festival?"

Han Chengsi: "...Kang Kang, is this the incense burner for Qingming Festival?"

Kang Kang scratched his head, looked pitifully at his mother, and admitted in a childish voice, "Mom, it was Kang Kang who took it. Hit Kang Kang, scold Kang Kang, throw Kang Kang on the road, throw Kang Kang in the trash can!"

Han Chengsi: "..."

Kang Kang's mother sighed, took the incense burner away, and said irritably, "Don't play with fire!"

They just left without punishing Kang Kang.

Kang Kang breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a set of tiny teeth: "I knew it, admitting my mistake first would solve everything!"

"Fourth brother, from now on I'm your little brother. Can you give your little brother some money to spend?"

Han Chengsi: "..."

At the same time, the system detected a notification: [Ding!]

[The host has won over the enemy, turning them into subordinates; cunning index +1!]

[Current level of cunning: 78!]

[100 points earned!]

[The host can redeem gifts in the points mall, or use 100 points for one chance to win a prize!]

Han Chengsi narrowed his eyes. Sure enough, it was pretty much as he had predicted.

There are indeed bugs in the system that can be exploited!

If you play a game with someone you're considering taking as a follower, and the game is played as a two-against-enemy game, you'll be considered an enemy.

Once the game is over, recruit the other party as your subordinate to fulfill the system requirement of turning an enemy into a subordinate, thus gaining +1 to your cunning index!
