Chapter 679 Upgrade Aura - I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain
[Ding! Host has spent 200,000 villain points to successfully upgrade the Intermediate Charm Aura to the Advanced Charm Aura!] Wang Haoran quickly received a notification and immediately checked the changes brought about by the Advanced Charm Aura. Like the Intermediate Charm Aura, the Advanced one also has passive and active effects. The passive effect instantly boosts the charm stat to the maximum value of 999. Reaching the full score of 999 makes it easy to gain the favor of female characters, and when pursuing female characters, the success rate is as high as 99%. The active effect can be used on female leads, supporting female characters, and other female characters, with a cooldown time of 72 hours. When used on supporting female characters and other non-main female characters, it bypasses their protective aura and can instantly max out their favorability towards the host at 100%. For female leads, there are two scenarios: 30% chance to raise the favorability of a female lead without any romantic ties to 100%. 30% chance to cause a female lead who is already in love to have a change of heart, raising her favorability towards the host to 70 (deep affection). The Advanced Charm Aura was quite overpowered. For supporting female characters, it was indeed a trump card. But for female leads, it depended on probability. And luck with probability is always unpredictable. Wang Haoran had experienced this many times before. Nevertheless, the passive effect of raising the charm value to 999 was incredibly useful. As long as he pursued a female lead, there was a 99% chance of winning her over, albeit requiring some time investment. Overall, spending these 200,000 villain points was quite worthwhile. Wang Haoran felt a strong urge to test the effect of the Charm Aura. At this moment, a disciple of the Wang family came to inform him that some powers had sent beauties as gifts. Hearing this, Wang Haoran eagerly followed the disciple to the living room. In the living room, a collection of beauties dressed in traditional attire filled the space with chatter, making it particularly noisy. "The young master is here, silence!" a Wang family disciple called out, trying to maintain order. The conversation ceased abruptly, and the beauties lined up, standing respectfully in the living room. All eyes turned to the man entering the hall, whose presence resembled that of a celestial being; just one glance was enough to captivate them. Wang Haoran sat at the head of the living room, intending to look around to see if any of these women might be a stunning female lead. However, before he could take in much, one bold beauty started introducing herself, expressing her willingness to become a wife or concubine. Following her lead, others began to do the same, vying for attention. Some even swarmed around Wang Haoran, actively courting his favor. Previously, Wang Haoran had never encountered such fervor. Although his status as the young master of the Wang family was prestigious, it wasn't enough to provoke such enthusiasm. Clearly, this was the benefit of the Charm Aura's passive effect, raising his charm score to 999. However, he found the women's aggressive eagerness overwhelming. As they tried to touch him flirtatiously, he found it intolerable. Commanding them to stand quietly, the beauties, seeing his irritation, quickly complied. After scrutinizing them individually, Wang Haoran realized none of them had the striking beauty that a female lead would possess. It was evident they were simply eager to climb up the social ladder. Such types did not interest Wang Haoran, and he intended to send them away. Hearing this, the room soon filled with cries of dismay. Some of the women expressed a willingness to stay at the Wang family as maids, just to remain by his side. These women, hailing from influential backgrounds, held significant positions within their respective powers. Whether they were the daughters of the power leaders or the granddaughters of the elders, their accompanying escorts insisted on taking them away. Becoming the young master's wife or concubine was acceptable, but being a mere maid was deemed disgraceful. Even though the Wang family's young master had a rare physique for cultivation, he hadn't trained in the secular world; his potential was uncertain. If the young master lacked aptitude, sitting on a treasure trove without reaping benefits would mean losing out. After all, being just a maid in the Wang family hardly made one stand out. Perhaps if this young master was the top among the younger generation in the Eastern Domain, things would be different. —— At Feiyun Pavilion. Su Xuan arrived with the message bearer from Feiyun Pavilion, where Xu Ao, along with Xu Qingtong, Xu Qingxuan, and some key members, personally welcomed him. "Uncle Xu, there's no need for such a grand reception," Su Xuan said with a smile upon seeing the scene. "You are to be our future esteemed son-in-law at Feiyun Pavilion; it's only right," Xu Ao said, approvingly appraising Su Xuan. He soon noticed the significant increase in Su Xuan's spiritual energy cultivation since their last meeting and exclaimed: "You're already at the eleventh level of the Holy Realm?!" "With such a great opportunity, failing to reach the eleventh level would indeed be laughable," Su Xuan half-joked. According to his master, the so-called eleventh level of the Holy Realm was equivalent to the first stage of the Foundation Establishment. Reaching this level meant he had moved beyond the entry-level stage of cultivation. "Congratulations," Xu Ao said, looking at Su Xuan with a satisfied smile. Greeting Xu Ao, Su Xuan scanned the crowd and quickly spotted Xu Qingtong. He approached her. "Missed me while I was away?" Su Xuan teased. "I was eating and sleeping well every day; why would I miss you?" Xu Qingtong replied with a high-cold demeanor. Su Xuan chuckled, accustomed to her attitude. This young lady played it cool but actually missed him; she was just too shy to admit it. He considered continuing his teasing, but another striking beauty in the crowd captured his attention. After a few glances, Su Xuan couldn't help but let his mouth water a little. Xu Qingxuan frowned at this. "Hey, stop staring. This is my sister, Xu Qingxuan, and she has a boyfriend. Forget it," Xu Qingtong said, recognizing the expression on his face. "She has a boyfriend, huh?" Su Xuan's initial delight faded, but he quickly gathered himself and asked Xu Qingxuan: "Sister, would you consider changing boyfriends?" "No," Xu Qingxuan replied coldly. "Can I ask who your boyfriend is?" Su Xuan inquired further. Xu Qingxuan ignored him. Xu Qingtong chimed in: "Her boyfriend is also from the secular world, a very handsome rich young man." "Oh, a rich second-generation," Su Xuan mused. He detested rich second-generation men. He had dealt with many, at least eight to ten, before. (End of Chapter)
