An Ge felt a huge surge of merit power suddenly enter her body. Her expression changed, and she quickly sat cross-legged to cultivate. It took her a while to digest this power. She was only one step away from the Golden Core stage.
She scratched her head, somewhat puzzled. Although she received merit every day, such a concentrated amount was still rare. She hadn't done anything particularly earth-shattering lately!
After overhearing the innkeepers' discussion, she suddenly realized what was going on. But this was clearly Da Jinku's own idea; how did it get dragged into her?
"Of course it's related to the owner. Feng Jinghan, as a person of this era, must have such thoughts because of the inn."
"So, does that mean any new ideas that arise from the influence of the inn can be attributed to me?"
Xiao Qi nodded at the tiger's head. "Theoretically, that's how it is. Otherwise, Master, where do you think the endless stream of merit power usually comes from? This time, it's just that the impact was a bit bigger, which is why the merit power is concentrated."
"This is too buggy!" An Ge exclaimed.
“My master’s merits also benefit me; I can feel myself becoming more and more perfect.”
An Ge nodded in realization. She thought she had a good understanding of divinity, but she didn't expect that what she knew might only be the tip of the iceberg.
"Why do I feel like you're becoming more and more like an infrastructure system?"
Xiao Qi: "...That's a question for the master himself. Divinity generally doesn't change; he's definitely still operating a management system."
An Ge stroked Xiao Qi's fur. "You mean there's still a possibility of change?"
"Never heard of it. But the system's rewards are indeed related to the master's wishes. If the master's wishes are strong, the attributes might change as well."
Hearing Xiao Qi's uncertain answer, An Ge fell silent. The power behind the godhood was too strong and mysterious; she didn't know if she would ever uncover the truth behind it.
Soon, she put these worries behind her and even welcomed the possibility.
No matter how Xiao Qi changes, it will be beneficial to her and harmless; she can just follow her heart. If divine status can truly be changed or merged, then she must be even more wary of those chosen ones with malicious intentions.
Thinking of this, An Ge couldn't help but feel a little worried about Meng Xia.
"Xiao Qi, how's Xiao Zhi doing?"
"Don't worry, Master. Xiao Zhi said everything is going smoothly over there. They've found a way to get in touch with Fang Yuanyuan. They'll meet you at the coffee shop once they're done."
An Ge breathed a sigh of relief. Her agreement to Meng Xia's risk had left her feeling uneasy. "I must thank Meng Xia properly next time we meet," An Ge thought to herself. At least, there would be plenty of special plants.
Meng Xia, who was on An Ge's mind, had a neat short haircut and was dressed in a suit, looking like an elite person.
"Xiao Zhi, are you sure I won't give myself away like this?"
"Don't worry, Xia, your voice has been digitally altered; it sounds completely masculine now. Stay calm, this is the moment we decide."
Xiao Zhi's words gave Meng Xia more confidence. Ever since he learned that Fang Yuanyuan was using a dating system, he decided to approach her as a man.
Persistence pays off, and she finally found an opportunity. She has arranged to meet with Fang Yuanyuan.
Meng Xia looked at the private room and felt a pang of pain thinking about the large sum of points she had spent. Although she was much better off now, she didn't have many points left, so in order to appear as an elite, she had to grit her teeth and pretend to be rich.
"This is the private room you reserved."
As Meng Xia was thinking, she heard the waiter's voice directing her. She immediately sat up straight and picked up her coffee to hide her panic.
Fang Yuanyuan's eyes lit up when she saw Meng Xia's attire. Of all the chosen ones she had met, this Mr. Meng was undoubtedly outstanding in both temperament and appearance. She smiled sweetly, "I'm sorry to have kept Mr. Meng waiting."
Meng Xia looked up, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes. Then, realizing she had been a little out of line, she adjusted her glasses and said, "Miss Fang, please have a seat."
Fang Yuanyuan didn't miss that stunning look, and her smile widened.
"Mr. Meng said he wants to see me, is there something you need?"
Besides the system proactively contacting the other party, the chosen ones can also have the waiters at Miaomiao Coffee Shop relay messages. Fang Yuanyuan is a regular customer there, and others have used this method to see her before.
And those people eventually became her allies.
Although we don't know what skills this Mr. Meng has, he is no exception.
"I've heard that Miss Fang possesses a romance system. I wonder if she has any items that can reduce charm? Miss Fang, please name your price." Although Meng Xia was penniless, her purpose wasn't to make a deal with Fang Yuanyuan; she simply wanted to find an opportunity to meet her.
Fang Yuanyuan seemed not to have reacted yet, "Are you sure it's about lowering your charm?"
Meng Xia frowned, feigning distress. "Yes, I find work much more interesting than women, and I don't want to be too distracted." She perfectly portrayed the persona of a wealthy CEO who disdains women.
To perfect her character, Meng Xia spent a considerable amount of time learning acting in the virtual world, drawing inspiration from a popular domineering CEO character from interstellar space.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuanyuan became even more interested in Meng Xia. It seemed that the chosen ones she had encountered before were all too easy to seduce, and this one, who was somewhat more difficult, piqued her interest.
Thinking back to her previous failure, Fang Yuanyuan suddenly felt a little indignant. "I'm really sorry, we don't have the necessary tools right now."
Seeing Meng Xia frown and get up to leave, Fang Yuanyuan quickly said, "But there will definitely be more in the future. Why don't we add each other as friends? I'll contact you immediately if there are any."
Meng Xia hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, but don't contact me all the time unless it's something important." She seemed afraid of being bothered by women.
"Ding, Fang Yuanyuan has been added as a friend." Hearing the system notification, Meng Xia breathed a sigh of relief, finally being added as a friend without suspicion.
The reason she chose this item for trading was that she didn't actually intend to trade, so she could only choose something that the other party was unlikely to have.
Of course, if the other party happens to have that item, she can think of another way. At worst, she can ask An Ge; she definitely has plenty.
As they were about to part, Meng Xia looked at Fang Yuanyuan, who was sitting quietly beside her, and seemed quite satisfied. "You are different from other women. I would like to treat you as my first female friend."
Fang Yuanyuan's eyes flashed with joy, but she remained polite. "Then I am honored."
Meng Xia nodded to her and left the host space.
"Xia, you really seem like a scumbag."
"What do you know? This is called playing hard to get." People in interstellar space rarely have any interest in dating, and this experience is all thanks to her fiancé from her previous life.
"I didn't expect that guy, despite being a scumbag, could actually be somewhat useful." Thinking of that scumbag from her past life, Meng Xia couldn't help but complain, "If I ever have the chance to go back to my original world, I'll definitely thank him properly."
