Section 17

This type of car, matched with Xu Hao's Driving, was practically a match made in heaven.

He gripped the steering wheel with both hands, slammed on the gas, and performed a friction start.

Instantly soaring the speed up to 360 miles per hour.

The glamorous luxury car sped away in a cloud of dust, leaving every racer they encountered on the road completely dumbfounded.

Because the speed was simply too fast, the racers couldn't see clearly, only catching a flash of a car's shadow…

A question popped up in their minds:

"What the hell… just ran right over my face?"

[Ding… Su Wanqiu felt anger rise in her heart, Emotion Points + 123…]

[Ding… Su Wanqiu was filled with shame and anger to the point of despair, Emotion Points + 999…]

Xu Hao looked at the Emotion Points prompt refreshed by the System, feeling a slight sense of surprise in his heart.

Because of shyness, providing him with 999 Emotion Points made sense.

After all, there were still people at home…

Su Wanqiu had originally been reluctant all along, but she couldn't win against Xu Hao.

What was suspicious was…

How could her anger towards him drop so low?

What was going on?

Not only this prompt, but the anger and hatred prompts refreshed halfway through were becoming fewer and fewer.

Xu Hao immediately looked at Su Wanqiu, checking her attribute panel, and couldn't help but be startled.

The originally "-66" favorability had changed to "-52"; this could be considered an increase, right?

His gaze instantly turned peculiar.

Not just this time, several times he hadn't even gotten her consent.

Her favorability not only didn't drop, but instead rose.

Ah this… I'm afraid she's Awakened some strange attributes…

[Ding… Xu Shiqing felt resentment welling up in her heart, Emotion Points + 555…]

[Ding… Xu Shiqing's resentment grew rampant, Emotion Points + 555…]

Unexpectedly—

Tonight, Su Wanqiu contributed a lot of Emotion Points.

The two daughters actually didn't contribute any less than her; truly they were his little padded jackets…

…

Xu Hao took a look at the Emotion Points on the panel, and there were unexpectedly as many as forty thousand.

He could draw a lottery four times.

What was he waiting for?

"Draw the lottery, draw the lottery."

[Ding… Congratulations to the host, you have drawn the reward—10 points of free attributes…]

[Ding… Congratulations to the host, you have drawn the reward—10 points of free attributes…]

[Ding… Congratulations to the host, you have drawn the reward—Skill: Close Combat (Great Master Rank)…]

(Skill Ranks are divided into: Proficient, Great Master, Grandmaster, Divine Rank.)

Swoosh—

The next moment, a slight stinging pain flashed through his mind.

Streams of knowledge regarding combat surged into his mind.

These memories seemed as if they were carved into his brain, as if he had truly studied hard for more than a dozen years…

Most importantly—

Xu Hao felt that he could skillfully use them without feeling the slightest abnormality.

Having drawn this skill, Xu Hao finally felt he had a fraction of self-preservation capability.

Relying on external forces was all illusory; having his own strength was the only way to have a sense of security…

Although this was the territory of Jiuzhou, unlike other countries where shootings happened every day, killing people was illegal.

But it pays to be prepared for any eventuality.

What if one day the plot suddenly triggered and a group of desperate criminals came to kidnap him?

Furthermore—

He also had the Heavenly Mandate Villain Halo, destined to fight the protagonist to the death…

What if one day the protagonist didn't play by the rules and decided to finish him off even if it was illegal?

That would be fucking hilarious.

As cautious as he was, before having the ability to protect himself, he would not go and provoke the protagonist.

Otherwise, when he met that protagonist yesterday, he wouldn't have left without even testing the waters…

At this thought, Xu Hao's mind stirred slightly.

He added all twenty points of free attributes to strength.

Previously adding attributes to Physique was because he thought that unfilial protagonist would only appear in two and a half years.

He didn't expect this to be a Fusion novel world.

Yesterday, he had already encountered a protagonist, and the innate favorability was negative.

Xu Hao understood the principle of priorities.

Increasing Physique to make himself younger was certainly important.

But life was even more important…

Once a person died, everything would be gone.

Relying on his current Physique, seven times a night was not a problem.

Therefore, he wasn't all that anxious.

Once the protagonist's threat passed, it wouldn't be too late to add some more Physique.

As for becoming younger making it easier to win the female lead's affection,

was that important?

What was his identity?

Did he still need to deliberately pander to the female lead? Make changes for the female lead?

That didn't exist.

A familiar warm current filled his entire body…

After the warm current disappeared, his strength doubled again, reaching 42.

The soaring strength made Xu Hao somewhat intoxicated, feeling like he could punch a cow to death with a single fist.

With the increase in strength, paired with the drawn Great Master Rank combat…

Even if yesterday's protagonist wanted to kill him, it wouldn't be that easy.

And if he couldn't be killed with a single strike, relying on his power and status, he could definitely toy the other party to death.

Through the System, he understood that the strength numerical value couldn't completely represent actual strength.

There were many determining factors for one's own strength.

Your strength, Physique, mastered skills, combat environment, and so on and so forth…

Xu Hao's gaze flashed, striking while the iron was hot, there was still one lottery chance left.

"Draw for me."

[Ding… Congratulations to the host, you have drawn the reward—Skill: Painting (Grandmaster Rank).]

The stinging pain in his mind was slightly stronger than just now, and a large amount of knowledge regarding Painting was instilled into him.

In just a short moment's time.

Xu Hao mastered a Realm that others might not necessarily reach even after studying for decades.

Now, as long as he was given a pen, he could draw a world-renowned masterpiece.

But Xu Hao was expressionless at this moment.

Good news: A Grandmaster Rank skill came out.

Bad news: The skill is Painting.
