Qin Yang excitedly made his way to the study.
Yesterday, he had noticed an inkstone, brushes, paper, and other calligraphy supplies in the study.
He spread out a sheet of paper, opened the ink, and picked up a calligraphy brush.
In the past, Qin Yang had always been envious whenever he saw other people’s calligraphy on Douyin.
His family was from the countryside, and when he was young, their financial situation had been rather poor.
Naturally, he hadn’t had the opportunity to learn calligraphy.
“Like the great roc rising with the same wind, soaring ninety thousand li into the sky.”
Powerful, vigorous characters appeared on the paper beneath his brush.
“Tsk, tsk. This calligraphy is incredible!”
Qin Yang stared at the characters he had written in delight.
His calligraphy was definitely better than that of the so-called masters he saw on Douyin.
Seeing how beautiful his brushwork had become, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
“Although I can only leech off Mu Xue, the results are pretty good. As long as it works, I don’t mind only being able to leech off her.”
Qin Yang thought to himself.
“System, I still have twelve Emotion Points. Give me another ten-point draw.”
“Lottery in progress… Congratulations, Host. You have obtained +1 Appearance.”
Qin Yang’s eyes lit up.
This was pretty good too.
He wasn’t particularly handsome to begin with, so increasing his appearance by a little was certainly welcome.
And since the change wasn’t too significant, other people wouldn’t notice anything unusual.
“Beep! Beep!”
Qin Yang’s phone suddenly rang.
It was Manager Yang Zhida calling.
His furious voice immediately came through.
“Qin Yang, you still haven’t come to work? Do you believe I’ll fire you?”
Qin Yang’s expression turned cold.
“Manager Yang, you really do have a short memory. Yesterday, you were the one who said that if I didn’t come in yesterday, I wouldn’t need to come in today either.”
“My understanding was that the company had already fired me. You’d better settle everything you owe me, including my salary and overtime pay. Don’t leave out a single cent.”
Yang Zhida was furious.
The company’s big boss happened to be visiting for an inspection that day.
When he noticed that someone was missing—and that the missing employee was one of Yang Zhida’s subordinates—he had given Yang Zhida a thorough dressing-down.
“Qin Yang, get over here immediately.”
“I’ll let yesterday’s deliberate refusal to work overtime slide.”
Yang Zhida spoke in a deep voice.
Qin Yang let out a mocking laugh.
“Then should I thank you? Manager Yang, make sure Finance settles everything I’m owed within a week.”
“You can forget about that!”
“You were absent from work without permission. The company has every right to fire you!”
Yang Zhida said coldly, “You have half an hour to get to the company. Otherwise, don’t even think about getting a single cent of this month’s salary.”
With that, Yang Zhida hung up.
“Hah!”
Qin Yang didn’t take it seriously at all.
If Yang Zhida had threatened him like this in the past, he would’ve had no choice but to go.
After all, when you were poor, you had no choice but to swallow your pride.
He needed his salary to survive.
But now he had the system, five million yuan in his bank account, and S-rank mental power.
He had the ability to say no!
Qin Yang went down to the gym in the basement.
The gym’s windows overlooked a fairly large lake.
After locking the gym door, Qin Yang carefully inspected the room.
Once he confirmed that there were no surveillance cameras, he took out a coin.
“Rise!”
Qin Yang focused his mind and controlled the coin.
The coin trembled slightly before slowly floating into the air.
It began circling around him.
Qin Yang had obtained S-rank mental power from the system.
Along with it came basic mental control abilities, but more precise manipulation required him to spend time practicing.
The calligraphy skill was different.
That skill had been directly implanted into his mind.
After practicing for several minutes, Qin Yang controlled the coin and sent it flying toward the distance.
One meter.
Two meters.
Three meters…
Eventually, Qin Yang discovered that his maximum control range was twenty meters.
Within that range, he could manipulate the coin with ease.
Even after sending it flying away, he could control it and make it return to him.
However, this didn’t mean his attack range was limited to twenty meters.
He could accelerate a concealed weapon within a twenty-meter range and then release his mental control the instant it reached the limit.
After that, the weapon could continue flying forward purely through inertia.
Time passed second by second.
Qin Yang’s control became increasingly smooth.
“Whoosh!”
The coin began flying around him at incredible speed.
Qin Yang walked over to the window.
“Whoosh!”
He controlled the coin and sent it shooting straight ahead.
Once it reached the twenty-meter limit, he instantly released his mental grip.
The coin shot forward at a speed of two to three hundred meters per second.
“The coin isn’t ideal.”
Qin Yang muttered to himself.
Its shape wasn’t particularly aerodynamic, and it also created considerable air resistance.
He felt that steel balls would be a much better choice in the future.
A steel ball should be capable of reaching a considerably higher speed once fired.
“Whoosh!”
Qin Yang continued practicing his control over the coin.
A coin wasn’t particularly useful for long-range attacks, but it was still an excellent tool for practicing his mental control.
“Knock, knock.”
Someone knocked on the gym door.
“What is it?”
Qin Yang walked over and opened the door.
A housekeeper stood outside.
“Mr. Qin, three luxury-brand managers have arrived. They’ve brought quite a few clothes with them. You can choose whatever you like.”
Qin Yang was surprised.
Didn’t luxury brands usually have incredibly high standards?
They were actually providing home service?
“Was this Aunt Liang’s arrangement?”
The housekeeper nodded.
Qin Yang went upstairs.
Three managers from different luxury brands were standing in the living room.
Each of them had brought a large selection of clothes based on his approximate measurements.
Many of these designs weren’t even available on the market yet.
“Mr. Qin.”
The three managers immediately greeted him respectfully when they saw him.
Although Qin Yang was dressed quite ordinarily, they had already learned that he had now become the Jiang family’s son-in-law.
Jiang Wancheng and Liang Lan had only one daughter, Jiang Muxue.
And Jiang Muxue had become a vegetable.
There was a good chance that Qin Yang would eventually become the person in charge of the Jiang family.
“Sorry to trouble you.”
Qin Yang smiled politely.
Soon, he began trying on the clothes they had brought.
Qin Yang was 1.8 meters tall, with a fairly good physique.
Once he put on the high-end clothes, his entire presence immediately changed.
In one word—
Handsome!
An hour later, Qin Yang decided to keep six outfits.
Given his current status, six outfits weren’t many.
But Qin Yang knew that his height and physique might still change in the future.
Buying too many clothes now could end up being wasteful.
“How much are they?”
Qin Yang asked.
One of the managers hurriedly replied, “Mr. Qin, you don’t need to pay. President Liang already paid in advance.”
Qin Yang nodded.
“I’d still like to know how much they cost.”
The three managers gave him the prices.
The six outfits came to nearly two million yuan in total.
Qin Yang was secretly stunned.
They were practically robbing people!
He had only picked six outfits, and he hadn’t even chosen that many.
If he had selected ten or twenty outfits, the total would’ve easily reached several million yuan.
The three managers soon said their goodbyes and left.
“Beep! Beep!”
Qin Yang called Liang Lan.
“Aunt Liang, thank you for having the clothes sent over. These clothes are so expensive. Please don’t have them send more in the future. I can just go to the mall and buy some ordinary clothes myself.”
On the other end of the phone, Liang Lan smiled.
“Xiao Qin, you and Muxue are married now. You need some decent clothes to maintain appearances. I originally wanted to have someone make custom outfits for you, but we were short on time, so we bought these first.”
Qin Yang muttered inwardly.
And this is what you call making do?
“Aunt Liang, these are already more than enough.”
Qin Yang quickly replied.
“Xiao Qin, we’re very busy today, so we won’t be coming over. Just try to spend more time with Muxue every day.”
“Okay.”
Qin Yang readily agreed.
Putting aside the fact that he could gain Emotion Points by spending time with Jiang Muxue, the Jiang family had treated him so generously.
He had to do his best for them.
