After Niu Yichen finished cleaning up the mess, the system's voice rang out.
The NTR mission is complete. Rewards: Blood Qi Pill (relieves pain, restores youth, and restores anyone's body to its best condition ten years ago)! Mother-Daughter Killer (breaks ethical boundaries, increasing the probability of mothers and daughters willingly serving you by 10%)!
Note: Ruthlessness is an essential ability for any NTR perpetrator. You already have the foundation to become a bastard, keep up the good work! The road ahead is long, and you're still very green!
Niu Yichen was completely unmoved by the complaints about the system.
So what if it's tender? At least I've got the reward!
The "Mother and Daughter Killer" badge is actually pretty useless; there are just too few truly exceptional mother-daughter pairs in the world. Therefore, the most important reward is the Blood Qi Pill!
Restoring 10 years of youth is such a tremendous effect. If it were sold elsewhere, as long as its efficacy could be proven, it would definitely fetch an astronomical price, no matter how high.
But can he really give it away? This is his lifespan; the consequences of giving it away are far beyond what he can bear. If you can give away ten years, can't you give away even more? Human greed is endless!
So... who should we give it to?
Niu Yichen thought of Liu Xiaoli. He must have gotten the pill from her, and logically, it should have been given to her. But given her current state, even if he gave it to her, she probably wouldn't appreciate it!
If we don't give it to her, should we just put it away separately? Also, does anyone sell this Blood Qi Pill?
Niu Yichen suddenly remembered this and quickly opened the system store.
Upon opening it, they discovered that the online store had completely changed, or rather, had been updated with numerous new products.
Taka Hat: 200 points of Yin attribute. Designated for one person to wear. The wearer subconsciously ignores their wife's infidelity, and no amount of investigation will uncover any trace of it. Note: With this, are you still afraid of not being able to have fun with married women?
Heart of Taka: 200 points of Yin attribute, designated to one person. The possessor's abilities are greatly enhanced, reaching the pinnacle of the industry, but... Note: Boss! You're too good to me, I have no way to repay you. Luckily, my wife is quite pretty, if you don't mind...
"Unfailing Erection Pill": 1 point of Yang attribute. After taking it, you will maintain an erection for 3 hours. Please note that if you are not in good health, it may deplete certain functions. Note: Kidney overdraft? No problem! Just 'fuck' it!
"Restore My Beauty Punch": 100 Yang attribute points, permanent skill. One punch knocks away pimples, and can transform a woman into whatever you desire! Limited to the face only! Note: If this becomes widespread, plastic surgery clinics in South Korea can close down.
Private Space: 10 points of Yang attribute, grants permanent use rights to 1 cubic meter. Note: There are always some things you don't want anyone to see.
...
"These new arrivals are really... amazing! But why are they all so expensive? It's completely different from the good quality and cheap prices we had before! The Taka hat is ten times more expensive than the regular hat! And it can only be worn by one person!"
If that's the case, we definitely need to find a way to earn attribute points!
He has a lot of attribute points now, but he doesn't even know why he has so many.
So far, attribute points have only appeared in quests, so I need to keep working hard to improve them.
After searching for a long time without finding any trace of the Blood Qi Pill in the store, Niu Yichen gritted his teeth and exchanged for 1 cubic meter of space, putting the Blood Qi Pill and two passerby hats inside.
The appearance of this space is very simple, just like a summoning window in a game. You just need to think about it and it will appear. After it appears, you can just throw the items in.
However, this has reduced the already limited Yang attribute points to only 11. On the other hand, there are still 830 Yin attribute points.
However, for now, we're just sitting around doing nothing and can't use it casually!
With so many things on his mind, Niu Yichen returned home and rested briefly before filming began.
...
On the other side, Liu Xiaoli, who was fast asleep, suddenly woke up.
As I sat up in bed, scenes from last night flooded back into my mind.
"Oh no! I need to take birth control pills!" This thought immediately popped into Liu Xiaoli's mind, but before she could do anything, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
She felt absolutely nothing amiss. She had felt like her body was being torn apart, and now she felt completely fine—it was impossible!
Thinking this, Liu Xiaoli turned her head to look at the clean room and was immediately filled with disbelief.
"Could it be that I was dreaming last night?"
I looked around and there really wasn't a trace. I checked my body carefully and it was clean and white, better than ever before!
If it really was that intense last night, there would be no way there wouldn't be any traces!
Liu Xiaoli thought of Niu Yichen's unusual entrance and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Yes! How could it not be a dream? How could a living person burst out of the wall? And even if they wanted to fight me... how could I not fight back? And with Sisi, I was really... really out of my mind. How could I not realize I was dreaming?"
Liu Xiaoli covered her face with a wry smile. Perhaps... if she realized she was dreaming, she would have woken up immediately...
"But! Why would I have this dream? Even if Niu Yichen seems really nice, I would never have any feelings for him, especially since he's with Qianqian now..."
As she thought about it, the scenes from her dream appeared one by one in her mind. Thinking of Niu Yichen's strong body, Liu Xiaoli felt a slight wetness between her legs again!
"Oh my god! I'm going crazy!" Liu Xiaoli quickly sat up from under the covers and rushed to the bathroom.
After washing her face with cold water to calm herself down, she suddenly saw her face in the mirror.
The woman in the mirror, though she looked a bit older, had very well-maintained skin. There was only a thin wrinkle at the corner of her eye, almost imperceptible. Her slender face was flushed, and her fair skin seemed to glow under the light.
Is that me in the mirror? Liu Xiaoli touched her face in disbelief. She knew her own body best. Although she paid great attention to her appearance, she was not young after all. Moreover, in order to guard against Niu Yichen, she had been traveling with her daughter, resulting in a very irregular schedule. As a result, she had developed more wrinkles around her eyes and darker skin.
But now, her skin looks like it's back to what it was a year ago... no, three years ago. Back then, Liu Yifei had just entered the entertainment industry, and her body was meticulously maintained, unlike what she has now.
"What happened? I just took a nap!"
Liu Xiaoli was initially pleasantly surprised, then somewhat incredulous. She tiptoed to Liu Yifei's side. Liu Yifei's face was still so fair and healthy, showing no signs of staying up late.
"Sissi is young, but what happened to me? Did I just have a dream last night? That's impossible!"
Liu Xiaoli suddenly realized that she hadn't had a wet dream in many years. This time, not only did she have one, but the person on the other end was her daughter's 'boyfriend'.
Just as Liu Xiaoli was looking at Liu Yifei in thought, Liu Yifei suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing her mother clearly lost in thought, Liu Yifei, who had also just woken from her 'dream,' felt her heart pounding and awkwardly said, "Mom, you're awake!"
"You're awake!" Liu Xiaoli exclaimed, startled awake. "Go take a shower, it's time to go filming!"
"Hmm!" Liu Yifei nodded, sat up in bed, and looked around just like Liu Xiaoli had before, murmuring, "It really was a dream, but... Mom has really worked so hard, all for me..."
Her eyes flashed, and before she knew it, she buried her head back under the covers.
...
Upon arriving at the film set, Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei stole the show. Every woman on set, even the top makeup artist, was begging them for their beauty secrets. Their complexions were simply too radiant. No matter how influential a person is, every woman inevitably asks this question.
The women's dressing room was noisy because of Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei's relationship, while the men's dressing room was much quieter.
Niu Yichen wasn't wearing makeup because he didn't have any scenes to film today. He came over not only to accompany Liu Yifei, but also to learn acting techniques and, incidentally, to give these 'young' actors some support.
After Hu Ge finished painting Li Xiaoyao's outfit, he couldn't help but ask Niu Yichen, "Master, did you go anywhere to have fun yesterday?"
"No! I slept all day at home!" Niu Yichen said. "What? Where did you go?"
"No way! I'm sleeping in, just like you!"
In just one month, Hu Ge's goodwill towards him has improved significantly. Now, he even calls Niu Yichen "Master," just like his character on TV!
Although Niu Yichen is young, he entered the industry early, and with his saneness from his previous life, being his master is not difficult at all!
"Master! Actually, what I wanted to ask is, do you have any beauty secrets?" Hu Ge looked at Niu Yichen's face and said, "You take such good care of yourself! You're as busy as a director every day, how come you don't even have a single dark circle under your eyes?"
"Yes! That's what I wanted to ask too!" Wang Lujiang, who was standing next to him, also said, "We have the same work schedule, but look at the director, his hair has turned several strands white, while you're acting like nothing's wrong!"
Hu Ge then said, "Master! Don't keep secrets from me!"
"There's really no secret!" Niu Yichen laughed. "I just go to the old Chinese medicine doctor for a massage and acupuncture whenever I feel like it!"
Traditional Chinese medicine has some mystical elements, and Niu Yichen's physical condition is even more mystical. If you link it to that, you can't go wrong!
"Then you'll have to take me for a massage and acupuncture when you have time!" Hu Ge said, "I'm feeling so uncomfortable! My whole body feels weak!"
"When I have time!" Niu Yichen said, "The old Chinese medicine doctor who gives me acupuncture isn't someone you can just hire. I'll go ask him, and if that doesn't work, I'll learn a few tricks from him! Then I'll give you the acupuncture myself!"
Hu Ge said with a wry smile, "No way! Master, don't get me into this! Acupuncture is no joke!"
"Who's joking with you? You'll find out in a few months!"
...
The male actors took the opportunity to chat together. Eddie Peng remained quiet and seemed very shy, meaning they only exchanged words while filming.
Wang Lujiang was a little better; they could exchange a few words, but they were only somewhat acquainted and didn't have a deep friendship.
The atmosphere among the male actors was somewhat subdued overall, as no one seemed to be able to liven things up, but Niu Yichen actually liked that kind of atmosphere.
After everyone finished putting on makeup, Niu Yichen went out and met Liu Yifei. Before he could say a few words, Liu Xiaoli interrupted them forcefully.
Now that they were on set, in front of everyone, Niu Yichen couldn't say anything.
Liu Yifei gave him an apologetic look and followed her mother to the side.
After leaving Niu Yichen, the mother and daughter both breathed a sigh of relief. They still vividly remembered their 'dream' from the previous night, and felt quite embarrassed in front of Niu Yichen.
...
Today's scenes mainly feature Liu Yifei, Hu Ge, and Ady An; or rather, most of the plot of the entire Legend of Sword and Fairy series revolves around these three.
Niu Yichen followed the director closely, watching how he arranged and operated the equipment, eagerly learning from him like a sponge. Only when he had free time would he go over to Liu Yifei to exchange a few words.
The relationship between Liu Yifei and Niu Yichen has become an open secret on set. At least everyone knows that Niu Yichen is pursuing Liu Yifei, and Liu Yifei hasn't shown any sign of disliking him. The term 'semi-public' perfectly describes this situation.
The girls got along well. They were still young and hadn't experienced much of the harsh realities of society, so they were generally quite innocent. The female leads seemed to have a good time chatting together, and they looked quite like best friends.
Niu Yichen naturally had a high level of attraction to girls, so after greeting them a few times, he became familiar with An Yixuan and Liu Pinyan, and after chatting for a bit, the atmosphere was surprisingly good.
Liu Yifei's performance today was excellent, much better than the others, but no one paid much attention to it. The most frequent questions were about Liu Yifei's skincare routine. However, after several encounters with her two best friends, Niu Yichen's smile seemed somewhat forced.
Pure Love System: My Girlfriend's Best Friend! Any man would have strange thoughts about his girlfriend's best friend! Have an inappropriate relationship with Liu Yifei's current best friends, Ady An and Esther Liu! You know what to do!
Mission Rewards: An Yixuan's Yin Attribute +70, Liu Pinyan's Yin Attribute +40. If both complete the mission, an additional reward is the "Best Friend Killer" badge (increases damage against your girlfriend's best friend by 10%).
"Is this what a pure love system is all about? It doesn't even spare your girlfriend's best friend! And... damn it! Why are you only giving me this task now? I wasn't even close to Ady An and Esther Liu before, and now you're trying to curry favor with them? No wonder Liu Yifei is going to beat me up!"
Niu Yichen cursed under his breath, not taking the task seriously at all. Anyway, it didn't say what would happen if the task failed, and there was no time limit. He could deal with it when he had another chance!
Meanwhile, seeing Niu Yichen chatting and laughing with Liu Yifei and others, Liu Xiaoli felt even more distressed.
"No! Sisi can't be tied up like this!" Liu Xiaoli made a decision in her heart.
She had already spoken with Niu Yichen and knew it was impossible to reach an agreement, so Liu Xiaoli changed her mind and simply went to find Li Guoli.
"Director Li! I have something to tell you!"
Li Guoli is currently extremely busy, but since the person who came was Liu Xiaoli, he still had to take some time to talk to her. Because Liu Xiaoli is Liu Yifei's mother, and Liu Yifei is the female lead, any mishap would have a huge impact on the production team.
Arriving at a private place, Liu Xiaoli got straight to the point: "I hope we can finish filming all of Yichen's scenes first, so he can leave as soon as possible."
"There's no need for that!" Li Guoli said. "Yichen is a very good young man. He even told me he wanted to study directing. I can't just turn around and go back on my word!"
Liu Xiaoli said bluntly, "But look at the way he and my Qianqian are acting. Does he really want to learn directing from you? I think he's only here for my Qianqian!"
"That's no big deal!" Li Guoli laughed. "They're both young and the right age. Wouldn't it be great if they got together?"
"How can that be good? My Qianqian is incomparable to him!" Liu Xiaoli said, "I'm not afraid to say it outright, I just don't want him to see my Qianqian. If it really comes down to it, cut some of my Qianqian's scenes, and I'll take her and leave early!"
"How can you just cut scenes like that?"
Li Guoli's face immediately darkened. He was the one who called the shots in the production crew, and now an outsider was trying to tell him how to do things? This outsider was really something!
If it were anyone else, Li Guoli would have already lost his temper, but thinking of Liu Yifei, who was in a good mood, Li Guoli still said, "This question wasn't asked of you by Liu Yifei, was it?"
Liu Xiaoli said, "I said it myself. Qianqian is still young and can't tell who is good to her and who is bad to her, but I can tell! Yichen just can't!"
"Okay! I understand!"
After finishing his sentence, Li Guoli turned and left without saying goodbye.
Liu Xiaoli was still somewhat unwilling and wanted Li Guoli to give a clear answer, but considering Li Guoli's status, she decided to wait another day.
After directing a day's filming, Li Guoli called Niu Yichen over at the end of the day and asked him, "What's the situation between you and Liu Yifei? Is your relationship official now?"
"Of course I'm sure! What? Is there a problem?"
Li Guoli added, "Her mother doesn't agree, you know that?"
Niu Yichen said, "I know, but this is a problem between us. I'll take care of her slowly in the future!"
"But your situation has already affected the filming!"
Li Guoli sighed and said, "To be honest, it's fine to treat your relationship as a publicity stunt, but if you take it seriously and it gets exposed, it won't be good for either of you, because you're both too young; it's puppy love!"
"Early love?" Niu Yichen said with a laugh, "They're both 17 years old, how can that be called early love?"
"You should know the situation here better than I do!" Li Guoli said. "I was thinking of using your connections to create hype before, but after someone analyzed the pros and cons with me, I immediately gave up!"
Upon hearing this, Niu Yichen fell into deep thought.
Seventeen is indeed the age to be in high school, and this age is very important for students taking the college entrance examination. Students may not realize this, but their parents certainly do!
So... according to the 'parents,' they really are dating too early! And since they're both celebrities, if it were made public, they'd be set up as a prime example!
Niu Yichen knew all too well the fighting power of parents; they could even get cartoons banned, let alone a 'small' celebrity like him.
It's only 2004 now, and the social atmosphere is much more conservative. Even when Fan Bingbing was rumored to have had plastic surgery, she was attacked by a lot of people. Let alone dating in early childhood!
After a moment's thought, Niu Yichen asked, "So, what are you planning to do?"
Li Guoli said, "If you don't mind, I'm prepared to finish filming your scenes first and let you leave the crew."
If it weren't for Niu Yichen, Li Guoli wouldn't have explained so much. Niu Yichen's status as an investor still held some weight, and besides, Li Guoli had seen all the things Niu Yichen had done for the production team these past few days, regardless of his motives; he couldn't bear not speaking up.
Upon hearing this, Niu Yichen immediately laughed: "Liu Xiaoli made you do this, didn't she..."
"Don't ask so many questions!" Li Guoli glared at him irritably and said, "Is it okay or not?"
"Alright!" Niu Yichen said, "You're the director, and the fact that you're willing to talk to me privately is already giving me face. I can't make things difficult for you."
Li Guoli breathed a sigh of relief, patted Niu Yichen on the shoulder, and said, "It's
