The night sky is starry, the cold wind blows, and the street lights are dim.
Yan Xi walked slowly back to He's house. Under the moonlight, his back looked a little desolate.
The lights in the He Mansion were on. Under the moonlight, Yan Xi walked along the narrow cobblestone path through pavilions and towers, and returned to his courtyard in a daze.
He looked up at the cold and quiet courtyard and stood there without moving.
After a long moment, Yan Xi lowered his head and muffled his voice, "System, I'll follow the first standard."
System 5555: "Are you sure?"
"Yeah, sure, that's it."
"Okay, please wait."
"Ding! The mission progress report has been turned on. The current progress is 0%. Please complete the mission as soon as possible."
As Yan Xi walked into the room, he asked, "What is the criterion for becoming a being more powerful than the male protagonist?"
"Reputation, in simple terms, is the public's admiration for you. The more people recognize you, the more your social status is reflected. When your reputation reaches or exceeds the original protagonist's reputation, the mission is considered a success."
Hearing this, Yan Xi narrowed his eyes, his gaze flickering, "In other words, this also includes the male and female protagonists' recognition of me, right?"
System 5555: "Yes, because they are also part of the masses."
"Okay, I understand." Yan Xi curled her lips slightly, "There's one more thing I need to ask you. The hero is good at martial arts, and he also joined the army to defend his country. He also has the talent to govern the country. In order to achieve my goal, I need to learn martial arts and be familiar with military tactics and statecraft. Your system mall should have martial arts secrets and books on statecraft, right?"
System 5555: "Yes, there are, but without a master to teach you, it's difficult to understand the key points. If you rely solely on your own exploration, there's a high chance you'll go astray. Furthermore, I'm not trying to discourage you, but your talent is indeed a bit lacking. If you want to reach the male protagonist's martial arts level, you'll need to put in twice the effort and twice the time."
Yan Xi groped his way onto the bed, sat on it, and stroked his chin. "As for Master, I'm now a son of an aristocratic family, so it's not difficult for me to become your Master. As for doubling the effort and time... If I remember correctly, the time in your system space seems to be static relative to the outside world, right?"
System 5555 was stunned. "You don't mean to..."
"Hehe, that's right, just lend me your system space to practice martial arts. You see, I rarely ask you for help, so it's not too much for you to agree to this, right?" Yan Xi smiled slyly.
System 5555 hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "Alright, but you can only come in at night when you're asleep. Your soul will be out of your body during the day, which will easily give you away."
Yan Xi's eyes lit up, "No problem!"
Having made up his mind, the next morning, Yan Xi waited for He Wei to finish his morning court session and then ran to him and told him that you wanted to learn martial arts.
He Wei was a little surprised, "Xi'er really wants to learn martial arts?"
Yan Xi nodded firmly and looked at him eagerly, "I want to!"
"But didn't you say before that you particularly disliked those rough men who practiced martial arts? You thought they were rude. Why have you changed your mind now?"
Yan Xi's face was serious. "Father, that was before, and this is now. I've thought about it. The reason I was always sick before was because my physical fitness was poor. If I practice martial arts, my body will definitely be healthy. In this way, I can protect myself by practicing martial arts, and maybe I can even defend my country in the future. It's a three-pronged approach, so why not do it?"
He Wei laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Well, since my son has such ambitions, I will naturally support him. Please wait a moment, and I will talk to you after I have found a good candidate."
"Thank you, father!" Yan Xi narrowed her eyes, full of anticipation.
