Su Yang then clicked on [Submit].

[More precious materials detected.]
[Special items will give birth to additional abilities, talent, or more unknown changes. Confirm to submit?]
Su Yang clicked [Confirm].
After submitting over the item, the flames in the basin instantly disappeared, leaving only a charred brazier on the ground.
A moment later, a 100 yuan banknote fell from the sky and landed on the ground.
However, Su Yang ignored it and kept the brazier before looking at Spirit Building instead.
Spirit Building looked down at the notebook and did not speak.
After a while, she said to Su Yang in her unique old voice, “Send me back. I need to compare my current data with the previous data.”
“Okay.” After he said that, Su Yang sent Spirit Building back into the virtual s.p.a.ce.
Initially, Su Yang thought that all he needed to do at that moment was to wait for the RMB to reveal its abilities. However, when he lifted his head, he saw Chu Xia sitting in front of the computer. She had stopped typing and was looking at him in surprise.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘I’ve completely forgotten that she’s here.
‘However… There’s nothing for me to worry too much about.. After all, Chu Xia has seen my superpowers before, so it wouldn’t harm if she were to see a bit more.’
Hence, Su Yang raised his hand. “Hi, what a coincidence.”
Chu Xia ignored Su Yang’s senseless greeting. Her face was filled with amazement. She ran to Su Yang’s side and squatted down, her big eyes blinking. “Su Yang, was that some kind of ritual?”
As she said that, she mimicked the flames from earlier. She waved her hands and mimicked as she said. “Just now, there was this “Hu” noise, followed by a “Boom” and then another “Hu” as the flames rose and extinguished with a “Poof”.
“In the end, everything was gone with a “Bang”. Then, that banknote came falling down.”
Then, Chu Xia’s big eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Yang. “You were so cool just now, you looked exactly like a magician.”
After being praised by Chu Xia, Su Yang was getting a little c.o.c.ky. He stood up with a serious expression and coughed. Then, he shook his clothes and raised his head proudly. “That’s right. The person standing in front of you is the 56th generation of my grandson.”
“Wow!” At first, Chu Xia was a little surprised, but then she asked doubtfully, “But… Isn’t your surname Li?”
Su Yang coughed. “Grandchild… Grandchild.”
‘My mother’s surname really is Li…
‘There’s nothing wrong with her trying to link it that way.’
Then, Chu Xia no longer dwelled on the question. Instead, she pointed at the 100 yuan banknote on the ground and asked curiously, “Then what was that spell you used just now? Was it a money-making spell? Or was it something like the Midas Touch?”
Then she answered her own question. “That’s not right… You said you weren’t making counterfeit banknotes, but look… you’ve just made it.”
Chu Xia picked up the banknote on the floor and took a closer look. ‘This is no different from a genuine banknote!’
She held up the banknote against the sun. ‘There’s a watermark, which is very clear. This is clearly genuine…’
When Chu Xia was about to pick up the RMB, Su Yang reached out to stop her.
However, he had just stood up after all, plus Chu Xia was already squatting next to the RMB. Hence, there was no way for him to stop her since she was already too close.
Therefore, he could only watch as Chu Xia picked up this special item that had yet to be appraised.
In fact, he was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan. However, he pretended to be calm on the surface. He could not let Chu Xia see through his worries lest she became afraid.
After all, special items could have random negative abilities. So, it would be troublesome if it hurt Chu Xia.
Therefore, he could only pray that this special item would not have any side effects!
Just as Su Yang was praying, the system notification finally came.
[RMB +1: Obtain new talent.]
[RMB +2: Obtain new talent.]
[RMB+3: Talent Undergone Changes]
Su Yang’s heart sank when he saw the three consecutive notifications.
‘They’re all talents…?’
Su Yang had an ominous feeling.
‘Talents can’t be deactivated! Please let nothing happen!’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang prayed and clicked on the RMB’s talent.
A moment later, Su Yang was introduced to the RMB’s talent.
[The RMB Who Loves To Be Jealous]
Talent 1: This RMB is only willing to follow the first girl it touches. Unless the first girl dies, she will not follow another master, nor will it return to the creator.’
The moment he saw the RMB’s talent, Su Yang only had one thought in his mind. ‘Oh no, oh no… Chu Xia’s got something stuck to her now.
‘Whatever that I was afraid of has come true!
‘What kind of talent is this!
‘Can I lock it in the castle’s dungeon?!’
Su Yang continued reading as he was worried.
Talent 2: This RMB has a strong sense of jealousy and is naturally hostile to the opposite s.e.x around her. It will also protect the girl from being bullied and violated by men. Its ability to protect the girl is directly proportional to the threat that whatever man poses to the girl.’
Su Yang’s eyes lit up. ‘Huh… This is interesting. Isn’t that just a disguised “love rival repellent”?
‘With this, I no longer have to worry about other men flirting with Chu Xia.’
Su Yang continued reading.
Price 1: Because this RMB has a strong sense of jealousy, she is also jealous of its own kind. If the girl has other banknotes of similar “value” on her, then it might find an opportunity to tear the banknotes into pieces.
Price 2: This RMB will subtly affect the girl’s toughness when it is with her, allowing the girl to become more and more flexible and become a real “softie”, able to do any poses.
After reading the two prices, Su Yang felt like laughing.
‘Is this the price?
‘Is this the price?!
‘I can still accept the first price. After all, it’s a negative price, but… Everyone’s using their phones to make payments now, so who would still need cash money? Therefore, this price’s impact is minimal.
‘As for the second one…
‘It can subtly affect the girl’s toughness?
‘This is a price?
‘It’s an ability, alright?!
‘This is something that many girls yearn for even in their dreams!
‘Forget about ordinary people, if a girl who is practicing dancing got her hands on this, it would be like she’s obtained a treasure.
‘She can do splits, bend her waist and all sorts of difficult positions. They no longer have to experience pain since they can get it done easily.
‘Moreover… Girls can do these extreme poses on a daily basis even if they aren’t dancing!
‘Wonderful, wonderful.
‘Creating this RMB hasn’t gone to waste.
‘Although it’s not something for him, but I’ll still enjoy… Pui, I’ll still receive its benefits in the end!’
The more he thought about it, the more Su Yang could not help but smile.
Chu Xia was still checking the counterfeit banknote. No matter how hard she tried to test it, she still felt that the banknote was real. So, her brain started to wonder. ‘Has Su Yang really come up with a money-changing spell? No wonder he’s so rich.’
Just as she was thinking about it, Su Yang took the money from her and said, “Chu Xia, I’m planning to give you this banknote.”
Chu Xia tilted her head and looked at Su Yang with confusion.
‘He’s giving me money?
‘What a casual and realistic present.’
Su Yang did not say much as he folded the RMB. A moment later, a heart-shaped 100 yuan banknote appeared on his hand.
Then, Su Yang pa.s.sed the “heart” to Chu Xia and said, “This is for you.”
Chu Xia blushed.
Su Yang blinked. “Remember to keep it close to you.”
Chu Xia took it and solemnly held it in her hands. From her nose came a mosquito-like “En…”.
Su Yang was elated.
However, after he was done being elated, Su Yang reminded her, “Oh right, Chu Xia. This heart of mine is a talisman that can protect you when you’re in danger. But… You can’t keep any 100 yuan banknotes on you.”
Chu Xia asked curiously, “Why?”
Su Yang patted her head. “Why do you have so many questions? Just listen to me and don’t keep any 100 yuan banknotes with you.”
Chu Xia felt comfortable being touched by Su Yang. She closed her eyes and smiled sweetly. “Alright then, Mr. CEO.”
The afternoon pa.s.sed just like that. Su Yang completed his recipe item while Chu Xia finished her novel for the day, writing a total of 30,000 words!
Even with the buff provided by the [Squid Who Didn’t Like To Dive], she was still able to perform exceptionally well.
This was probably because she had not written for a long time and had acc.u.mulated a lot of inspiration, so she exploded in one shot.
Coincidentally, it was time to get off work. Hence, after chatting for a while, Su Yang asked, “Shall we have dinner together tonight?”
Chu Xia’s eyes lit up with laughter. “Sure. Let’s go to my place and eat, shall we?”
Su Yang was curious and asked, “Why?”
Chu Xia replied, “Because my mommy made something delicious tonight and insisted that I go home for dinner.”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘This young lady is getting smarter and smarter. I can’t tell if she’s trying to “probe” me by inviting me, or is she “rejecting” me indirectly…
‘However… Regardless of which situation it is, I don’t think it’s polite to go to a girl’s house without making any preparations.’ Hence, he shrugged and said, “In that case, let’s eat some other day then.”
Chu Xia copied Su Yang’s expression and shrugged her shoulders. “Some other day then…”
Su Yang looked at Chu Xia’s cute face which was imitating him and could not help but have a slightly weird expression on his face. He was smiling, but it was a smile where one could not tell if he actually found it funny or saddening since he was helplessly being “imitated”.
In the end, Su Yang could only surrender with both hands. “Alright, some other day then, little princess.”
As they spoke, someone knocked on the door. Su Yang said, “Come in.”
Pan Zhaodi pushed open the door and walked in. She stopped in her tracks and crossed her arms over her stomach. She bowed slightly, “Mr. Su, Ms. Chu Xia, it’s time to get off work. May I know what plans you have next?”
Just as Su Yang was about to say that he had no plans and was going to send Chu Xia home himself, Zhao Licheng suddenly arrived at the office door. He nodded at Chu Xia and said to Su Yang, “Mr. Su, Old Cao suddenly asked to meet me tonight. Would you like to join me and have a look?”
Su Yang frowned.
‘Old Cao?
‘Why’s he asked Zhao Licheng out?’
