Brother Xiao, has your strength already reached such a terrifying level!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He: \"Alright, no more talking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn System!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the Skeletal Enhancement also came with increased strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of how he hadn't controlled his strength properly earlier, crushing the Gundam model kit he had painstakingly built over a week back into pieces, made Xiao He's heart ache unbearably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My Gundam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My blood, sweat, and tears!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hate this…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen wisely shut his mouth and continued picking up the scattered parts from the floor, then sorting them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larger pieces that could still be used were placed together, while smaller parts whose original positions couldn't be identified were disassembled and re-categorized…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He sat on the Gundam's foot, glaring gloomily at the System panel before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the System interface was still stuck on the hidden points interface, clearly really hoping Xiao He would continue spending points to draw rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations on obtaining Hidden Reward Opportunity*1. Spend points to exchange?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He took a deep breath, really wanting to simply ignore it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the reason gamblers become gamblers is naturally because they simply can't resist the temptation of \"spending money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from suddenly increasing his strength, the detailed specifics of this [Skeletal Enhancement] skill could be set aside for now and researched later. After all, this was a hidden reward; no matter what, it should still be somewhat decent… right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He glanced at the point value still continuously increasing on the side, took a deep breath, and ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of the \"hidden\" version, clicking [Yes].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Points reset to zero. Automatically matching current reward tier for you…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He: … Wow! So this thing really intended to drain him completely, not leaving a single bit behind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, after using up one million points, Xiao He didn't have many points left now. Even if this dog System took the opportunity to drain all his remaining points, it wouldn't be a problem, since his points were still growing at an extremely fast rate anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Matching successful!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your current remaining points are: 2069.

Are you available to come pick it up now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Property?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Criminal Base?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoa, this works too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the fact that having a fixed base roughly equated to \"criminal enterprise\" growing bigger and stronger, destined to gallop down an increasingly \"criminal\" path in the future, providing a criminal base, when you rounded it up, wasn't it just providing a property for hiding?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So you could play it this way too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the System seeing that ordinary skills could no longer attract him, so it directly gave him something big?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What more was there to say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'll reluctantly forgive this kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to giving skills, money and houses were indeed more substantial!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>System, you kid always manage to give me new surprises!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He immediately raised his voice: \"Okay, is now possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, please try to arrive here before 6 PM, Mr. Xiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I'll come right away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Xiao He immediately grabbed the car keys from the table. \"Xiao Chen, I have something to attend to outside. Once you finish tidying up, you can head back directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, Brother Xiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Xiao He successfully arrived at the Real Estate Registration Center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After smoothly signing and completing the property certification, Xiao He successfully obtained the red property deed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he got it, Xiao He eagerly opened it to check—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the smile on his face froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a small, old, and dilapidated place located in a remote suburb of Shanghai, with a total area of less than forty square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this location truly wasn't the currently most popular kind of \"old, small, and dilapidated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those currently popular \"old, small, and dilapidated\" places in Shanghai, while the houses were old, were originally employee housing from earlier years, with convenient transportation, complete infrastructure, and relatively obvious locational advantages, making them the target for many homebuyers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the one in his hands was genuinely located outside the outer ring, far from the city center. Putting aside the inconvenient transportation for now, the surrounding infrastructure also paled in comparison to other places. The buildings here were basically at least twenty years old on average, with overall development lagging far behind the current average level of Shanghai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this place still fell within Shanghai's boundaries, in this \"land of gold\" location, this property was worth at most four hundred thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Note: This was to the extent that even if listed, it wasn't certain anyone would buy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After repeatedly locating and checking on his phone map, Xiao He had no choice but to accept this cruel reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the red deed in his hand, then at the marked location on his phone map, Xiao He fell back into his seat, trembling as he uttered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You… dog… System—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought it was some large flat or a grand mansion, but after all this, you gave me this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, this property was truly hard to sell, hard to transfer, and left in that location, he couldn't see any possibility of appreciation at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in recent years, the real estate situation was something everyone in the know understood. Now, getting to this place required over two hours of driving!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any relaxed mood was gone, leaving only a heart full of frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on second thought, the System only sucked away two thousand of his points in the end, exchanging them for such an old, small, and dilapidated place… was that actually… cost-effective?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He didn't know what to say anymore. He could only sit in the car, open his laptop, and first verify the origin of this property to prevent the System from digging any pits for him that might be discovered as abnormal by the authorities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Xiao He felt relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, on this issue, the System handled it very cleanly. There was no need to worry about this suddenly appearing property raising suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He's evaluation was, better not to have it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having this thing under his name was somewhat vexing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after much deliberation, Xiao He felt he couldn't really just leave it alone, since it was already registered under his name, one of his properties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if the System left some hidden trap for him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Xiao He immediately couldn't sit still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Checking the time, thinking there's no time like the present, and taking advantage of the early hour, he decided to go inspect it directly, not letting the System dig a pit for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, with an uneasy heart, Xiao He decisively turned the car around and drove straight to the suburban \"old, small, and dilapidated\" place.\u003C\u002Fp>",1317,"2026-05-29T18:50:39.541Z","2026-06-01T04:29:59.536Z",1,"novelbin.me","1c5f43fd73a2ab26025b4e4fe9b57867a189b7e7fc145d81b2fc87f35f19fed3","brother-dao-took-the-entertainment-industry-by-s-chapter-498","brother-dao-took-the-entertainment-industry-by-s-chapter-496",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbrother-dao-took-the-entertainment-industry-by-s-cover.jpg"]
