After being reborn, the villain comes with a spoiler tag.

"Senior brother, did you see that person just now?"

Long Yucheng's gaze lingered around the empty doorway for a few moments, then he looked down at the bag in his hand. After several such glances, he finally looked at Huo Yu with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Huo Yu nodded.

He not only saw it, but he also noticed the reactions of those around him—to be precise, all the women present never took their eyes off the woman who called herself "Su Yixuan" after she appeared.

While the woman was engrossed in her one-sided conversation with Long Yucheng, several people's eyes revealed a hint of displeasure as they looked at Long Yucheng. They seemed ready to step forward and become his protectors at any moment, ready to subdue him if he made the slightest mistake.

Long Yucheng obviously didn't notice.

He opened the bag the strange woman had thrown to him, and was then shocked.

It was a bag full of spirit stones.

……

Meanwhile, a woman who called herself Su Yixuan was on her way back to the Zoroastrian headquarters.

The system prompt sounded at the right time:

[Target number one, Long Yucheng, has gained 20 points in favorability; current favorability is -5.]

[Why only 20 points? Has my charm decreased?]

The woman was a little annoyed. She deactivated her invisibility spell and gave a shy smile to a man walking towards her.

The man seemed to be frozen in place for a moment, his gaze fixed on her. He was so distracted that he bumped straight into a pillar under the eaves of the shop, drawing the attention of passersby.

[Your charm hasn't diminished at all.]

The woman cast her invisibility spell again, and the passersby seemed completely unaware of her sudden appearance and disappearance. Only the man who had bumped into the pillar got up from the ground in confusion, touching his reddened forehead.

The system's calm voice echoed in my mind:

[Host, please note that the charm you just displayed was due to the "charm aura," which has no effect on the target.]

What do you mean? Are you implying that I have no charm whatsoever?

The woman's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction, and a flash of anger crossed her brows.

The system's voice remained calm, devoid of any emotion:

[The system is merely reminding the host to adjust their strategy according to the personality of each target.]

What Su Yixuan didn't know was that even these twenty points of goodwill were earned in exchange for the sixty spirit stones she gave to Long Yucheng.

After the strange woman left, Long Yucheng, unable to use his storage bag due to a lack of spiritual power, had no choice but to pretend to put the spiritual herbs and stones into his pocket and tell Huo Yu that he was going out to throw away the trash.

In reality, after leaving the inn, he secretly exchanged the dragon's saliva grass and sixty spirit stones for points.

As for the box and bag, fearing there might be some kind of restriction on them, he threw them as far away as possible, out of sight, out of mind.

However, the unexpected gain of two hundred points and a Foundation Establishment Pill still put Long Yucheng in a great mood.

……

[Target No. 1, Long Yucheng's favorability increased by 10, current favorability is 5. Achievement completed: Target No. 1 - First Encounter, reward 100 points.]

The system notification sounded again at the right time. The first target had finally completed the first node of the strategy. These 100 points were like a victory horn, and Su Yixuan couldn't help but feel a surge of secret joy.

Her dating strategy system uses a progress bar mechanism. Whenever the affection level of any target reaches the milestones of five, twenty, fifty, seventy-five, and ninety for the first time, an achievement will be unlocked and a large number of points will be awarded.

Once she reaches 100 affection points with any of her conquest targets, she gains a ticket to the next world.

Of course, she could also choose to stay in this world and continue to pursue other targets, since the points are accumulated in the system and can be carried over to the next world.

This is Su Yixuan's third world. Her previous world was a post-apocalyptic wasteland where living conditions were harsh and even basic survival supplies were scarce.

Although she eventually succeeded in defeating her target and obtaining the key to the new world, almost all the points she accumulated along the way, along with the points inherited from the first world, were used to exchange for survival supplies, meaning that all her efforts in both worlds were in vain.

Now, the third world she is in is actually a world of cultivation. Not only is the environment beautiful and there is no worry about food and clothing, but she can also fly and escape into the earth, experiencing the feeling of turning her hand to make clouds and rain.

Under the halo of being a heartthrob, the scheming and life-or-death struggles of the cultivation world have nothing to do with her. Compared to the previous world, this mission is like a vacation.

Therefore, she was determined to enjoy this world to the fullest until she had extracted the last drop of points from all her conquests before considering moving on to the next world.

Looking at the newly earned one hundred points on the system interface, Su Yixuan smiled confidently and said to the system with a sense of assurance:

"See? This is the essence of my meticulously planned dating strategy. That silly boy is probably staring blankly at the bag embroidered with my name right now!"

More importantly, every time he saw that bag afterward, he would involuntarily think of me. This is a subtle, gradual, and pervasive way of emotional connection. By the time he realized it, his heart was already filled with my image.

Su Yixuan was immersed for a moment in the beautiful future she had envisioned for Long Yucheng, who had unknowingly been won over, before she said to the system:

[Alright, let's check the system shop first. Do you have any items I can use right now that you'd recommend?]

……

Huo Yu had no idea that in just a few short minutes, the two people beside him had already enacted a dramatic and unpredictable drama in their minds.

His divine sense followed the Zoroastrian woman until she completely disappeared from his detection range, at which point he slowly withdrew it.

The woman clearly harbored some strange intentions towards Long Yucheng, but Huo Yu was unsure whether to deal with the matter.

He glanced at Long Yucheng, who had just returned from taking out the trash. The dragon saliva grass and spirit stones the woman had given him, along with the container that held them, had vanished without a trace.

Throughout the woman's monologue, the Heavenly Dao Prism above her head remained unchanged. When she left, the annotation above her head still read: "[Low-level cannon fodder, no hope of ascension]".

Is he really just an insignificant character?

Huo Yu pondered to himself and decided to hold back for the time being and observe for a while longer.

He originally intended to go into the Zoroastrian cult to find out more.

In the myriad worlds he glimpsed through the Gate of Heaven in his previous life, a portion of Huo Yu took the storage bag when burying the old man, and from then on became a disciple of the Fire Worship Cult.

Some, like him, buried their storage bags deep underground, but instead of embarking on the path of evil, they became powerful figures of the righteous path by chance.

In other words, almost every Huo Yu who embarked on the path of cultivation practiced the Fire Control Technique taught by the old man.

However, the old man never revealed his origins or life story before his death. To find out what connection the old man had with him, the only clue was the token engraved with "Zhuque Kingdom Zoroastrianism".

This is precisely the fundamental reason why Huo Yu was determined to explore the Zoroastrianism.

However, no matter what Huo Yu's original plan was, things always tended to change in unpredictable directions after he brought Long Yucheng along.

Moreover, Zoroastrianism itself is strange in many ways.

Especially those five Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had no spiritual roots and could not see the Heavenly Dao value.

Huo Yu pondered all night, eliminating some guesses and leaving only the two most likely explanations:

One possibility is that these five people are all demon race members, like hybrid dragons. Demon race members cultivate in a completely different way than humans. They do not have the concept of spiritual roots, and since they are not subject to the control of the Heavenly Dao, they naturally do not have Heavenly Dao Values.

Another possibility: these five people are not real people, but projections of spiritual energy.
