"Chapter 18: Who is he? He is the King of Mercenaries after all!"
Hearing the bathroom door open, Ye Tong was startled and immediately closed her eyes again, pretending to sleep.
Xu Mu just glanced at Ye Tong and left the room.
Arriving downstairs, through his perception, he could clearly detect the movements of Ye Tong's body.
Evidently, she had already woken up just now.
Xu Mu sat on the sofa and began to check his attribute points.
Just now, apart from those few things, he had obtained 160 attribute points.
He first checked his own attributes.
Name: Xu Mu
Character: Villainous Sacred Body, HR Manager of the Xu Group
Strength: 30
Speed: 43
Endurance: 30
Defense: 30
Destiny Power: 93
Looking at his attributes, Xu Mu still decided to average them out slightly and develop in a balanced manner.
He could not be too single-minded and leave weaknesses for his enemies.
This time there were exactly 160 points, and he planned to add 40 points to each of his attributes.
Every time Xu Mu upgraded his strength, he felt a change in his body; his once sub-health Physique was completely transformed.
Suddenly, he found that after his strength increased to 50 points, it could no longer be increased, and black text appeared before his eyes.
【The host's current physical strength and attributes have reached the peak of an ordinary person.】
【Opening the cultivation talent panel for the host】
Name: Xu Mu
Character: Villainous Sacred Body, HR Manager of the Xu Group
Realm: Initial Force early stage
Physique: 40
Spirit: 10
cultivation points: 0 (Max 100)
Destiny Power: 94
Seeing this, Xu Mu was somewhat dumbfounded. Knowing the plot, he naturally knew what Realm represented.
The entry point of an Ancient Martial Artist was precisely the transition from Initial Force to Hidden Force.
For instance, the Dragon King was a powerful Ancient Martial Artist.
Xu Mu discovered that in the upper right corner of the panel, there was a question mark symbol.
He clicked on it, and it was the introduction of this panel.
After reading it, he suddenly understood.
It turned out that after entering the ranks of the Ancient Martial Artist, the previous four attributes were unified into Physique.
To put it bluntly, Physique represented the overall body strength, explosive power, and so on.
And then the attribute of Spirit was added.
As for the cultivation points below, that was the top priority.
According to the plot, after the Dragon King returned and helped Ye Tong and Ye Yu take revenge, he did not leave Jiang City.
Instead, he began to occupy the Xu Family and entered the business world.
Ultimately, it was because his cultivation had entered a bottleneck and he could not continue to make a breakthrough.
But Xu Mu didn't need to worry about these at all; he only needed to fill up the cultivation points to advance.
According to the System's reminder, the future guarantees had become two types: cultivation points and attribute points.
Of the 160 points just now, he had consumed 20 points, and currently still had 140 attribute points.
He could only add the attribute points to his own Physique and Spirit.
With each upgrade, Xu Mu felt that his state had taken another leap forward.
He checked the changes above.
Realm: Initial Force early stage
Physique: 100
Spirit: 90
cultivation points: 0 (Max 100)
Destiny Power: 94
Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the power within his body, and wondered what Realm that Lin Yang was currently at.
He was not clear about what 100 Physique at the Initial Force early stage represented.
Right at this moment, Ye Tong came down from upstairs. She did not tie her hair into a bun, but instead let it fall loose.
Coupled with her unique widow Physique, Xu Mu couldn't help but want to pity her once more.
"Are you going to the company today?"
Ye Tong asked as she went downstairs.
"Yeah, I have a little something to do today. I will come back to accompany you after I finish my work."
Xu Mu said with a smile.
"No need, no need..."
Ye Tong took two steps back in a panic, and then coughed lightly a few times. "I don't need your company. Work is important. Today I want to go shopping with Xiaoyu and check out the market."
"Alright, if there is any trouble, remember to call me over. I am your man and your reliance."
Xu Mu smiled and said.
【Favorability + 10】
"I know."
Ye Tong's face was slightly red. She felt that Xu Mu had indeed changed.
Perhaps he had figured things out.
Just as he said before, holding a grudge against her and her younger sister was because the Ye Family had defrauded the Xu Family of too much money.
However, now they were already a family, so Xu Mu didn't hold it against them anymore.
...
Xu Mu drove to the company, came to his office, and began sending a message to the property management, asking them to send over the surveillance footage of the Villa area.
He sat here to check, and before long, a knock on the door came.
"Come in."
Xu Mu spoke.
The door was pushed open, and Meng Wanyue, dressed in a uniform, walked in holding documents.
Her naturally cold eyes were still the most eye-catching feature.
Xu Mu came to work today precisely for her.
He needed to beat around the bush to see if it was her taking pictures in front of his house today.
There was no help for this; the yard of his Villa was too large.
The camera was mainly to see the yard clearly, and the figure outside was not very clear.
However, judging by the figure, it indeed looked somewhat similar.
"President Xu, these are the documents I helped you organize this morning."
Meng Wanyue came to the desk and placed the documents in her hand on the table.
Xu Mu raised his head to glance at Meng Wanyue and said calmly, "Accompany me to the police station later."
"President Xu, what happened?"
Meng Wanyue asked doubtfully.
"In the morning, I found that my car keys were missing, so I checked the home cameras and happened to see a woman holding a mobile phone filming outside my house."
Xu Mu observed Meng Wanyue's expression. "I suspect that bad guys are scouting the location and might do me harm."
Hearing this, Meng Wanyue's eyes noticeably changed.
Xu Mu also noticed this point, so he took out his mobile phone and handed it to Meng Wanyue. "Take a look at this person."
Meng Wanyue took the video and found it was the surveillance of the Villa area.
"How come I feel like it looks a bit like you?" Xu Mu suddenly blurted out.
"President Xu, it's not me. I came to work early today. Besides, why would I have nothing to do and film your house?"
Meng Wanyue immediately put the phone on the table and waved her hands in a panic.
She hadn't expected her luck to be so bad; her very first attempt exposed her.
That person was precisely her.
The reason she went over was because she heard that in the Villa where Xu Mu was located, there was a woman sleeping in the yard.
She wanted to go over and investigate.
As for filming the yard with her mobile phone, it was just to get familiar with the layout for convenient infiltration later.
"I was just joking, how could it be you?"
Saying this, Xu Mu smiled slightly. "Even if it were you, I would feel that you were being used by someone."
"Why does President Xu trust me so much?"
"Just a feeling. I think you are very pure and a good person."
Xu Mu revealed a brilliant smile.
Meng Wanyue couldn't help but be stunned.
Xu Mu also slowly put away his smile. She truly lived up to being an assassin.
He had even used his brilliant smile, yet the Favorability didn't increase at all.
"Thank you, President Xu, for trusting me."
Meng Wanyue revealed a faint smile.
"You may go down. I will come look for you in a moment, and we will make a trip to the police station."
Xu Mu waved his hand at Meng Wanyue.
Meng Wanyue nodded and turned to leave.
...
On the other side, Lin Yang was currently outside the building of the Xu Group.
He had already sent a message to his hacker friend, asking him to investigate the dark history of the Xu Family.
If nothing unexpected happened, the information would be sent over shortly.
Merely a local group, he had multiple ways to wipe it out.
Lin Yang's eyes were arrogant. Who was he?
He was the King of Mercenaries overseas after all!
