Imperial Treasure?
Portrait of Beauty?
Daji!!!
Qin Yang's eyes lit up. He turned to the butler, Chen Si, and said, "I can try, but I can't guarantee I'll succeed."
As soon as he finished speaking, a prompt appeared before his eyes:
***
[Portrait of Beauty (Daji) has been placed in your backpack.]
Back in his room, Qin Yang closed the door.
He couldn't wait to open his backpack. Inside the hundred-slot inventory, a scroll emitting a flowing light lay quietly in the corner. Qin Yang activated it with a thought.
Instantly, a grand vertical painting unfurled before his eyes, like a towering illustration. But unlike a static artwork, this was a looping, dynamic image.
In a palace chamber scattered with red petals, luxurious curtains slowly parted, revealing the alluring glow of candlelight. A woman lay on her side on a dragon bed, her fluffy fox tail covering her intoxicating body. Her long hair spilled across the silk sheets, her skin glowing with a seductive pink hue, her eyes like clear amber, filled with playful mischief.
Daji seemed to notice Qin Yang outside the painting. Her enchanting face rippled with a smile, her eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, as if beckoning him to step into the painting.
"No wonder she could enchant an emperor—truly a legendary vixen."
Qin Yang took a deep breath, barely holding himself back. The moment Daji smiled, he felt his blood rush, struggling to maintain control. If he hadn't seen the conditions for entering the painting, he would have charged in right then and dragged that fox spirit out for a thorough lesson.
***
[Portrait of Beauty]: A legendary vixen.
[Beauty in the Painting]: Daji.
[Entry Level]: 15.
[Note]: After gaining Daji's approval, you may invite her to the Bronze Sparrow Terrace.
"It actually requires level 15..."
A surge of motivation welled up inside Qin Yang.
Lying flat while grinding didn't mean not grinding at all. As the Supreme Sovereign, even if he chose to lie flat, he would lie where ordinary people couldn't. For example, in Daji's embrace.
"The goal is clear—level up to 15 as soon as possible!"
With that thought, Qin Yang immediately returned to his room to study his vocation.
Currently, he only had one skill: Annihilate the Nine Clans.
This skill was indeed overpowered, but it consumed Imperial Authority. Qin Yang had already experimented with it on the vocation altar.
The Imperial Authority consumed by Annihilate the Nine Clans was calculated based on the highest-level member of the target's nine clans.
A level 60 Zhong Yu'an required over ten million points.
A level 48 Dean Wang required nearly five million points.
The lower the level, the less it cost.
The cafeteria lady at the academy had a highest-level relative at level 5. Erasing her entire clan of over 200 people required only 257 Imperial Authority.
With his current base attributes totaling 50, Qin Yang gained 50 Imperial Authority per hour. In just five hours of idling, he could make the cafeteria lady and her 200 relatives vanish from the world.
Of course, Qin Yang wouldn't do such a thing.
Annihilate the Nine Clans wasn't limited to humans—it could also be used on monsters. However, monsters in secret realms were born of nature and didn't have so-called "nine clans."
Qin Yang's skill could only be used to instantly kill bosses. Otherwise, he could only attack normally. Whether solo or in a party, his efficiency was low.
"Speaking of which..."
"Don't these monsters have families?"
Qin Yang thought helplessly.
If the monsters in secret realms were all related, things would be much easier. One Annihilate the Nine Clans could net him dozens, even hundreds of monsters' worth of experience...
"Wait—related..."
Qin Yang's eyes lit up as an idea struck him.
He remembered a secret realm where all the monsters were insect-like.
What was it called?
The Mother Insect Forest!
Qin Yang began searching for information about the secret realm on his phone.
***
[Secret Realm]: Mother Insect Forest.
[Level]: No restrictions.
[Monsters]: Highly Toxic Larva (Lv1), Lesser Leaping Insect (Lv1), Spined Armored Insect (Lv2), Sky Blade Insect (Lv3), Diseased Mother Insect (Lv5, Boss).
[Realm Status]: Cyclical, Independent, 8-hour cooldown.
[Realm Introduction]: The insect race originates from the void. This aged and diseased void mother insect continues to produce offspring, attempting to build an insect army.
[Realm Difficulty]: Beginner level, recommended for level 4 and above.
[Realm Rating]: Not recommended. This realm is filled with deadly toxins, has a high danger level, and does not allow mid-exit. Beginners are advised to choose other realms.
After reading the introduction, Qin Yang's eyes gleamed with excitement.
Just as he had suspected.
All the monsters in the Mother Insect Forest were offspring of the mother insect.
Annihilate the Nine Clans could instantly clear this entire secret realm!
If he ignored the larvae and cleared the realm normally, he would only reach level 3 at most. But if he could clear out all the larvae, he could even reach level 9!
Wasn't this tailor-made for Annihilate the Nine Clans? No matter how many there were, if they were part of the nine clans, they would all be wiped out in one go!
"It's decided—you're the one, Diseased Mother Insect!"
Qin Yang could barely contain his excitement.
One-click clear...
Who could out-grind him?
***
Qin Yang went to the side of the room. His father's rewards were already placed on a long table.
[Equipment]: Beginner's Longsword
[Quality]: Green
[Level]: No level
[Attributes]: All attributes +10
***
[Equipment]: Beginner's Armor Set
[Parts]: Upper body, hands, legs, feet, head
[Quality]: Green

[Attributes]: All attributes +15
***
[Food]: Beginner All-Attribute Fruit
[Effect]: Permanently increases all attributes by 2 upon consumption
***

***
[Potion]: Superior Spirit Potion
[Effect]: Restores 1,000 Spirit points over 10 seconds
"All I can say is, having money is truly overpowered."
Qin Yang sighed inwardly.
The so-called "Beginner's Longsword" and "Beginner's Armor Set" were custom-made. The Beginner's Longsword had attributes equivalent to a level 14 green-grade weapon. The custom-made Beginner's Armor Set was equivalent to a level 5 green-grade set.
Neither had level requirements.
In other words, Qin Yang, a level 1 professional, could wield a level 14 green-grade weapon and a level 5 green-grade armor set.
Compared to his classmates who awakened on the same day, this wasn't just a head start—it was like starting at the finish line!
Additionally, 20 bottles of superior potions and 10 beginner attribute fruits were worth nearly 1,000,000 Crystal Coins!
Crystal Coins were the currency of this world, issued by the highest celestial will, with self-regulating inflation and deflation capabilities. The purchasing power of 1,000,000 Crystal Coins was equivalent to 1,000,000 RMB.
For those below level 30, superior potions were instant-restoration elixirs that could save lives in secret realms. Beginner all-attribute fruits permanently increased all attributes by 8 points. Not only were they expensive, but their purchase was also restricted.
Yet Qin Chuan had provided 10 of them, giving Qin Yang 80 attribute points.
80 attribute points were equivalent to leveling up six times!
After consuming the fruits and equipping the gear, and absorbing two essential skills, Qin Yang opened his personal panel:
***
[Name]: Qin Yang
[Race]: Human
[Level]: 1
[Vocation]: The Supreme Sovereign (Unique)
[Strength]: 30 (+25)
[Agility]: 31 (+25)
[Constitution]: 36 (+25)
[Spirit]: 33 (+25)
[Skills]: Annihilate the Nine Clans (Max), Inspect (Lv1), Illuminate (Lv1)
[Imperial Authority]: 280 (+130/hour)
Excluding the bonuses from the Beginner's Sword and Armor Set, Qin Yang's base attributes totaled 130 points—equivalent to a level 6 professional.
With the custom beginner equipment, secret realms from levels 1 to 5 would pose no challenge to Qin Yang.
He couldn't help but sigh—
Was this how the rich played games?
Disregarding cost-effectiveness, they just crushed everything from the start?
Having money was truly awesome!
With these attributes, it would be difficult to get injured in low-level secret realms. He wouldn't even need bodyguards.
Moreover, Qin Yang didn't need to fight.
Tomorrow, when he arrived at the Mother Insect Forest, he would just one-click clear the screen.
