Of course, it's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal, and although that's what he thought in his heart, Gu Mu wouldn't actually return it.
To stop the assassins from publicizing everything the enemy camp was doing.
This led the Southern Dynasty soldiers to believe that the enemy was short of food and had retreated on their own initiative, rather than being frightened away by Gu Mu.
This is because Gu Mu did not want his image to be too glorious in the minds of the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty.
After all, if this female-oriented novel hadn't been so eager to eliminate him, making everything go too smoothly and causing Gu Mu to feel a sense of unreality and begin to have doubts...
He wouldn't even notice.
His cheat system is actually an undercover agent.
It was simply to help him become a better villain.
Since this female-oriented novel requires him to achieve all of this, and then lose it all in an instant.
So, for now, let's play it safe.
—As long as I'm lewd enough, and the female lead doesn't know I possess all of this, she won't kill me first.
Although the system favors the female lead, the strength it grants her is genuine.
He kept saying that the system was an undercover agent, but the system actually had no emotions. It was created to become Gu Mu's cheat code because it had a program that made Gu Mu create difficulties for the female lead. The rules of this program prevented the system's host from easily killing the female lead.
Rather than saying the system is an undercover operation, it's more accurate to say it's an infiltrator.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that the system has been used by the world as an undercover agent.
The system has no emotions; it is Gu Mu's cheat code. What it gives Gu Mu will always belong to Gu Mu and will never be taken away by anyone else.
As for why the world wanted Gu Mu to have everything and then lose it, it was because this female-oriented novel gave the female protagonist a boost in luck.
You could say it's a destiny with a predetermined ending.
But... my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven.
This female-oriented novel... Gu Mu is determined to turn it into a male-oriented novel!!!
At this very moment...
Gu Mu heard a "ding" sound in his mind.
"Performance score +100"
"Congratulations, host, you have successfully unlocked a new item in the system shop: Marrow Cleansing Fruit."
Gu Mu opened the system panel.
The current political achievement value is 200, and the villain's value is 922.
If the unlocking of new items in the system shop is due to the accumulation of political achievements and villainous points...
It's possible that the weighting of political achievements and villainous traits is not the same.
Because when he came out of the enemy camp, his villain value and political achievement value had already exceeded one thousand.
But at this point, no new items were unlocked.
Instead, after he obtained 100 political achievements, he unlocked the Marrow Cleansing Fruit.
Gu Mu felt that it was unlikely that such a strange system could create such a convoluted system where the threshold for the accumulated value could be either zero or whole.
Is it possible that...?
Is the performance score calculated as a percentage, while the villain's score is only converted to 10%?
Will accumulating 200 points unlock new items?
Of course, this is just Gu Mu's guess. He will have to unlock it a few more times and discover the pattern to confirm it.
However, Gu Mu had a vague feeling that political achievements were more important than villainous points.
The second batch of items unlocked in the system shop only contains one Marrow Cleansing Fruit, but it's very expensive, costing 100 points.
The previously obtained Body Strengthening Pill and Spirit Pill are still being upgraded and cannot be exchanged.
Because of the massacre in the enemy camp, Gu Mu's score reached an astonishing 666!
But Gu Mu was not in a hurry to exchange it.
Because he is now in a military camp, surrounded by soldiers.
He didn't know what the reaction would be if he ate it.
It's also uncertain whether the Marrow Cleansing Fruit has an expiration date, such as expiring after a period of time after being redeemed...
"The enemy knew they couldn't capture the camp without supplies, so they wisely retreated to avoid further sacrifices." Gu Mu didn't mention that he had killed five enemy generals.
He needs to conceal his strength as much as possible.
At least in front of the female lead, he hides his strength.
The soldiers of the Southern Dynasty accepted this explanation, which was also the outcome they had envisioned.
After all, they didn't know that Gu Mu possessed some "inhuman" methods, capable of taking the heads of enemy generals while burning their supplies.
The war ended.
Performance points and villain points obtained.
Earn a lot of points.
The border was also defended.
Gu Mu felt he had gained a lot from this war. He finally understood why ancient powerful nations liked to invade, since war was the fastest way to increase strength.
Gu Mu did not stay on the frontier for long.
It will take time to get back to the capital.
A big fish is lurking in the capital.
He used the huge bait of "Hidden City" because he was worried that his tower would be stolen while he was leading troops on a campaign.
Although the martial arts world and the imperial court are currently checking and balancing each other, Gu Mu is also worried that some unexpected situations may occur.
He was in a hurry to get back to the capital.
Although more than half of the soldiers from the Southern Dynasty who participated in this war were killed or wounded, the fact that so many survived against an enemy force of 100,000 was already a gratifying result.
After all, their goal was to defend the border even if everyone else died.
However, at that time, whether the border could be defended was a question.
Now, so many people are still alive, and the border has been defended.
It far exceeded their expectations.
Of course, they all knew that this was because the Regent had only brought one assassin, who risked his life to penetrate deep into the enemy camp and burn their supplies.
A seed of admiration and loyalty was quietly planted in their hearts.
After handling the relevant matters.
The next day, Gu Mu embarked on his journey back to the capital.
He returned to Beijing first.
