Chapter 161: Inviting the Wolf In? Song Wanrou's Scheme

He took a comfortable bath.

Song Mo began planning his next goals.

He opened the system panel.

【Name: Song Mo】

【Skills: Piano Transcendental (Emotional Control), Five Animal Frolics Transcendental (Righteous Aura), Martial Arts Master, Culinary Master, Driving Master, Ancient Chinese Medicine Proficient, Learning Mastery, Business Mastery……】

【Special Skill: Voidification】

【Items: Kang'anyao, Dragon Tiger Bone-Strengthening Pill Recipe, Da Huan Dan (*5)】

【Prestige Value: Eighteen Million Six Hundred and Forty Thousand】

Cutting through the clutter, Song Mo found that his skills were actually not that many.

It had taken nearly half a year.

And all he had was merely one Piano Transcendental skill; one Five Animal Frolics Transcendental skill.

Only two skills ranked at the Transcendental level.

Piano Transcendental was to acquire Prestige faster;

Five Animal Frolics Transcendental was to protect himself, and to achieve something on the Martial Dao, which could likewise earn Prestige.

Song Mo's current Prestige Value had reached the Household Name level.

His influence was on par with international superstar Chen Long.

Song Mo was not satisfied.

He was young and strong; although he had already left his peers far behind, the ambition in his heart had never been about competing with people his own age.

Having a system meant reshaping the world.

Reshaping the world into the form he liked.

The stronger one was, using oneself as the radiating point, the greater the range one could influence.

Currently, Huachuang Pharmaceutical Limited Group was still in its startup phase.

Although it had gathered capital from many sides, and was destined to receive policy support.

Huachuang was destined to soar straight to the top.

But Song Mo wanted Huachuang to startle the world with a single feat, to take flight…… and soar to the heavens!

Song Mo looked at his inventory.

【Kang'anyao】

【Effect: Inhibits cancer cell growth】

This was a drug Song Mo had bought from the System Mall for thirty million Prestige Value back when the System Mall upgraded during the Martial Arts Tournament he held in Piaoliang Guo.

An absolute trump card!

At the time, Song Mo had already had a plan: to use this Kang'anyao to change the lives of people around the world.

And at the same time, to help the pharmaceutical group under his banner.

Startle the world with a single feat!

Only, this thing was simply too incredible; if he had brought it out back then, Song Mo himself would surely have become a target of surveillance and control by multiple countries.

Being on Piaoliang Guo's soil, and without a life-saving trump card skill like Voidification on him.

Song Mo would have to be tired of living to act recklessly.

However, now it could be put on the agenda.

"Only, a world-shocking Kang'anyao suddenly being researched and developed—its origin is hard to explain……"

Still, this was not a difficult problem.

For someone who had a system, was it hard to prove he was a genius?

As long as the surprises brought to people were enough, people's threshold for surprise would keep being raised, and eventually anything that happened would be taken for granted.

Song Mo's self-protection was no longer a problem now.

Therefore, he began to shift his direction.

Toward developing in the direction of a scientific research genius!

Back when Song Mo had not yet graduated early, he had been valued by his advanced mathematics teacher, who took him on as a closed-door disciple.

That incident had already served as a preventive inoculation of sorts.

So, going forward, Song Mo focusing on scientific research and accidentally achieving some small results in these areas—was that not perfectly reasonable?

Of course, most importantly,

Everything Song Mo did was good deeds!

Even if some parts were truly unbelievable.

So what?

This world was a world of interests, a realistic world; the higher the national level, the more so.

As long as the result was good, who cared how the process went?

Huaguo would definitely protect Song Mo, because Song Mo's interests were tied to theirs, and all Song Mo had to do was display enough value.

Of course, once Song Mo displayed Transcendental value.

It would inevitably draw the dissatisfaction of other forces.

He would also become a target for all, but Song Mo, who possessed the 【Voidification】 skill, could survive unscathed for an hour even if a nuclear bomb were dropped.

What was there to be afraid of?

No sooner said than done—Song Mo had already mapped out his next schedule: soaking himself in the National Library reading books!

……

Xia Yu and Xia Rou went to school.

Song Wanrou was already in her third year, second semester, with very few classes.

Today, she had no classes at all.

Besides, she was at the Music College, and was Professor Xia Shuqin's favorite student.

She was even more free.

Therefore, she stayed home today.

Song Wanrou looked around the house.

Song Mo was in his room, doing who-knew-what, while Dushima Yingxue had returned from training, and Adelin had just stepped out of the shower.

It was rare for both girls to be home.

Song Wanrou walked up casually.

Her face wore a gentle smile.

"Miss Yingxue, Adelin, are you comfortable living here?"

Seeing her initiate conversation, Adelin was polite.

"Sister Wanrou, I'm very comfortable here."

But…

What Adelin didn't say was that the only thing bothering her was Xia Rou always showing affection with Song Mo at home.

Neither of them meant to show off—they were just acting out ordinary couple habits, teasing and caring for each other.

And that made it even more crushing.

Adelin, once such a lively girl, now smiled less every day.

The genuine joy she'd felt when she first arrived in Modu from faraway France, meeting Song Mo at Modu Airport, had gradually worn away.

She felt like she had become somewhat superfluous.

But,

To leave now filled her with unbearable reluctance.

Unlike the simple-minded Adelin, the sharp, almost demonic Dushima Yingxue had subtly sensed Song Wanrou's intentions.

For these past days, Dushima Yingxue had remained silent, observing.

Soon, she saw the signs.

Song Wanrou's older sister liked Song Mo… Combined with the intelligence Dushima Yingxue had gathered, Song Wanrou was not Song Mo's biological sister, but an orphan adopted by his parents.

The two had no blood relation.

Dushima Yingxue became even more certain of her guess.

She also noticed that although Xia Rou appeared to be Song Mo's girlfriend, Xia Yu's presence was strange.

Xia Yu and Xia Rou were practically inseparable.

For a girl in love, this was unnatural.

Moreover, Xia Rou was Song Mo's girlfriend, so she lived in his house, with her bedroom right next to his.

But how to explain Xia Yu?

Dushima Yingxue, like a patient hunter, painstakingly analyzed every detail of her prey, eventually gaining a broad understanding of the entire situation.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

Therefore, when Song Wanrou asked whether they were comfortable, Dushima Yingxue's reply was the exact opposite of Adelin's.

"Of course it's comfortable—only, beautiful moments are always fleeting."

"Like cherry blossoms blooming on Mount Fuji in early April—tourists marvel at their beauty, yet can't help sighing."

"How can one hold onto beauty forever?"

Dushima Yingxue's words were strange, leaving Adelin baffled.

But Song Wanrou understood.

Two women, both shrewd, understood each other's needs in a single glance.

And in the brief moment of their faint smiles,

They reached an agreement.

Clear water breeds no fish—first, stir the water!
