To be honest...
Using the word "new life" to describe Jiang Chengcheng now is absolutely the most fitting.
She personally severed the shackles of past suffering, and the gloom in her heart was swept away.
Instead, there was hope for the future, and... a fervent loyalty to Xu Shi.
"Thank you... Mr. Xu."
Nestled in Xu Shi's arms, she felt only happiness and warmth. "From now on, I will only be loyal to you."
My wealth, my body, and... my soul, until death do us part.
Xu Shi smiled without saying a word, listening quietly to her vow.
He was not surprised by this.
Because under the influence of "increased entropy of evil thoughts," this is how it should be.
This can be considered a complete practice of his own special ability, from nothing to something, from zero to one.
In fact, although it doesn't help improve combat power, this ability is really not weak. It is only B-rank and can make people submit willingly. Moreover, after the loop is completed, there will be no wavering submission no matter what.
Of course, this is on the premise that it can be used properly and that it will not be driven to insanity by complications. If it is really the same as the original in the original work, then the effectiveness it can exert is less than one-tenth.
Moreover, everyone's situation is different. This approach works for Jiang Chengcheng, but it would be a different story for others, such as Gu Yi or Xia Wuyou.
But what is certain is that everyone has a threshold in their mind, and as long as you can find and break through it, you can achieve the same effect.
As for the "further upgrade" of "entropy of evil thoughts"... I'm sorry, it wasn't mentioned in the original work, but I imagine it won't be too bad.
Well, at least there's some anticipation now.
Thinking this, looking at Jiang Chengcheng in front of him, Xu Shi couldn't help but smile a little more.
What does this mean? The villainous mini-boss has gained a new female corrupt official?
Oh ho ho.
Moreover, it must be said that with Jiang Chengcheng's submission, his gains were indeed considerable.
Putting aside her personal abilities, the gold coins that Jiang Fengshan produced were also a significant part of her success.
Although "Feather Pen" took away some of his illegal income, the overall impact was not significant. The company's shares and his personal assets will be transferred to Jiang Chengcheng's name in accordance with inheritance law upon his death.
That would be no different from giving it to him; as long as he asks, the other party would probably offer it to him without hesitation.
Furthermore, the engineering department will naturally come under my control... It seems like the best thing ever.
They've won so many times they're numb.
This put Xu Shi in a great mood.
However, just as he was about to leave with Jiang Chengcheng, Tang Shuang, who was leaning against the corridor, blocked his way.
It seemed that the other party had been waiting here for a long time, and her complicated expression proved that she had something to say to Xu Shi.
"...You go outside and wait for me."
Xu Shi thought for a moment and then sent Jiang Chengcheng away.
"Um."
"I really have to thank Director Tang this time."
After she left, Xu Shi smiled and nodded at Tang Shuang, showing unprecedented politeness.
"...Just this once, and don't let it happen again."
Tang Shuang's eyes flickered, "Even if we encounter a situation like this again... I will never let you do such a thing again."
Here's a quick note: the laws of Night City do not include the death penalty.
But that's only what's out in the open; vigilante justice is another matter entirely... Public prisons are even better places for clandestine operations, where countless people have lost their lives.
However, this situation changed significantly after Tang Shuang took office—the director is very righteous.
As for why they turned a blind eye this time... it was probably out of dissatisfaction with the pressure from their superiors and sympathy for Jiang Chengcheng's tragic experience.
"learn."
Xu Shi responded dismissively, not taking her words to heart.
He knew perfectly well that this might be the first time Tang Shuang had ever given someone special treatment in this kind of matter... He was glad that the person in question was him and not Shen He, and he hoped even more that the person she was doing this for could only be him.
This shouldn't be too difficult—there's only the first time and the countless times for this kind of thing; once you start, it's not so easy to make up for it later.
Thinking this way, and with the lingering effects of his superpower complications, Xu Shi couldn't help but have an idea. He extended his hand to Tang Shuang and politely invited, "Would you like me to give you a ride home?"
"...Don't give me that."
Tang Shuang was taken aback, then jumped back as if she had been electrocuted. "Remember this, this matter is over, but, but you better be careful. If you do anything you shouldn't, I, I will still bring you to justice!"
As she spoke, she even exaggeratedly struck a fighting pose, and her face unconsciously flushed slightly.
Xu Shi frowned involuntarily upon seeing this. Really, if you don't want to agree, then don't agree. Does your reaction have to be so extreme?
Of course he didn't know that it was because the director had unconsciously used him as a side dish... It was fine when they were doing serious business, but now that they were relaxed and alone, she couldn't help but think of this again.
"Instead of focusing on law-abiding citizens like me, Director Tang would be better off putting his attention on Sin City."
So he just waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Things haven't been very peaceful there lately."
"Yes," Xu Shi, a law-abiding citizen who had two S-level wanted criminals under his command, said without any pressure.
"...Then, that would be best!"
Tang Shuang stomped her foot angrily, "If you really fall into my hands, I... I won't let you go!"
After saying that, the bureau chief hurriedly fled.
