His Majesty is plotting a rebellion? Quickly, summon the Imperial Advisor!

Bai Shangxue quickly got the hang of the business here; he was indeed a rare genius when it came to management.

Moreover, they are extremely loyal.

His character is also quite good.

After all, these were talents recruited through a talent recruitment program, so Xu Bing had no reason not to give them important responsibilities.

After some thought, he decided that such a rare talent needed to be carefully protected. Therefore, he ordered Tang Dayu to select two guards, each around the fifth level of the Innate Realm, to protect Bai Shangxue at all times.

This gesture moved Bai Shangxue to tears; he was receiving such treatment upon his arrival.

The scholar with the air of a bookworm immediately grabbed Xu Bing's leg and swore a solemn oath that he would be Xu Bing's person in life and Xu Bing's ghost in death.

"Don't…"

Xu Bing's lips twitched, and he hurriedly pushed Bai Shangxue away.

It sounded strange to him that the man was saying those words.

After handing over all the matters concerning the shop to Bai Shangxue, Xu Bing was finally able to free up his energy for this side.

No longer is it necessary to inquire about and monitor the operation of restaurants and rice shops every day.

You only need to inspect it once a week or once a month.

Bai Shangxue will become Xu Bing's publicly acknowledged boss.

Xu Bing sat in the main hall of the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

He leaned back, his well-defined fingers holding a teacup, steam rising from it and brushing against his cheek.

He gently blew on the tea, took a small sip along the rim, and tapped the armrest of the rosewood chair with the peacock pattern in his other hand, his eyes gazing at the snow falling in the front yard.

As it slowly and gently passed, an invisible aura emanated from it.

"Sir, do you trust Bai Shangxue that much?"

Song Si, dressed in simple clothes, stood to the side and asked softly.

She witnessed everything that happened that day.

"Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust," Xu Bing replied casually.

“But…aren’t you worried…” Song Si couldn’t help but say.

Although she understood the principle of "trust those you employ, and do not employ those you distrust," these eight words required immense courage.

And confidence in one's own charm.

The last person to give her this feeling was... the current Empress Ji Yuan of Da Xi.

The 10,000 Xuanjia soldiers are proof of this.

And then...and then she messed up.

They're still like big crabs, tied up in the backyard.

……

child time.

An electronic voice sounded as scheduled.

【Ding! 】

[The 100-tael gold mission is complete!]

[Rewards: 10,000 Yuan Stones, one National Fortune Lottery Draw, Charm +3, and one random spell.]

Xu Bing remained remarkably calm despite the arrival of more good items.

In Daxi, ten taels of silver could be exchanged for one tael of gold.

Today, Xu Bing sold 100 jin of rice in various forms.

Nine-tenths of a kilogram of rice can be sold for twenty taels of silver, which would earn a profit of two thousand taels of silver, equivalent to two hundred taels of gold.

Therefore, they not only completed the task, but also far exceeded it.

Xu Bing now has abundant resources at hand. If nothing unexpected happens, the rice from the ten acres of blessed land will be ripe again tomorrow morning.

Another seven thousand catties of rice will be earned.

"No wonder Ji Yuan was able to raise 10,000 Xuanjia soldiers without making a sound."

"This nine meters is indeed extremely profitable."

Xu Bing did some calculations, his eyes sparkling.

"System, draw a prize!" Xu Bing thought to himself.

A familiar colorful roulette wheel appeared before his eyes and then began to spin rapidly.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host! You have triggered a lucky critical hit!]

【Ding! 】

[Another lucky critical hit triggered!]

【Ding! 】

[Host's luck has exploded, triggering a super lucky critical hit!]

Hearing the electronic voices coming one after another, Xu Bing was a little confused.

A rare moment of loss of composure appeared on his face.

He's always been very lucky.

But... the probability of triggering three major critical hits in a single lottery draw is too low, isn't it?

The probability of a lucky critical hit is one in ten thousand.

And the probability of a lucky critical hit, a lucky super critical hit... is even more pitifully low!

The last time I was this lucky was when I drew the "Red Dust Charm" trait.

I don't know what the items are this time.

Xu Bing mustered his energy and mentally reviewed the system interface.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a perfect exotic fragrance.]

"what??"

Xu Bing was dumbfounded. "Wait, system, can't you give me something a little more domineering? Why would I, a national advisor, need something so fragrant?"

【Ding! 】

This system is fair and impartial; whatever the host draws is what they will receive, and the system will never interfere.

[Furthermore... the host might want to check the attributes of the Perfect Fragrance.]

After being reminded by the system, Xu Bing immediately brought up the system panel.

【Perfect Fragrance】

Quality: Unparalleled

This is an extremely rare body odor, limited to a distance of ten centimeters from the skin.

[Main effects: Attracts the opposite sex, amplifies desire, makes people linger, arouses repeated desires, and makes legs weak...]

[Secondary effects: Self-protection, immunity to all spells, enhancement of magical abilities, extremely strong self-healing power (more effects will be gradually unlocked as the host's cultivation level increases.)]

[Attribute Bonuses: Charm +100, Great Dao Capital +100, Fortune +100.]

After reading the introduction, Xu Bing's expression softened considerably.

Overall, this perfect fragrance is quite useful, but the "primary effect" is somewhat redundant; in comparison, the "secondary effect" is much more practical.

With his looks that are over 100, does he really need to use exotic fragrances to seduce respectable women?

Just ridiculous.

However, humans have multiple senses such as sight, hearing, smell, and touch. While sight is the most important, the other senses are equally important.

In many situations, the sense of smell is just as important as the sense of sight.

After all, no matter how handsome a person is, if they smell bad, no one will dare to approach them.

However, the range of this perfect fragrance is far too small.

It's only ten centimeters away from you; you practically have to put your nose right in front of you to smell it.

Xu Bing raised his hand and sniffed it himself.

Don't tell me yet.

There was indeed a strange smell about it.

It smells like fragrance, but it's more than just fragrance.

It's incredibly complex; just one whiff and it feels like it's etched into your mind.

【Ding! 】

[As an extra reward, the host will receive an elegant fragrant pendant.]

[A delicately scented pendant: emitting a pleasant fragrance that can calm the mind and subtly increase one's likability.]

This jade pendant can perfectly conceal a unique fragrance, compressing it to within five centimeters of the body.

With a flick of his wrist, Xu Bing revealed a white jade pendant in his palm.

It is carved with a jade pig-dragon.

Upon examining the candlelight, one discovers some mysterious patterns faintly visible within the white jade pendant, with flowing light swirling within these patterns.

Only through careful observation can this be seen.

Although it's a free gift, its quality is probably not low.

It hung around his waist, its perfect, exotic fragrance compressed to within five centimeters of his body.

The outer layer is covered with a pleasant, refreshing fragrance that calms the mind and soothes the nerves.

This imbued Xu Bing's every gesture with an indescribable elegance and charm, subtly enhancing his allure.

Xu Bing was naturally happy to have gotten a jade pendant for free. As for the fragrance being compressed to five centimeters, he thought it was fine.

Considering the effect of the fragrance, it's best not to let others smell it easily. Five centimeters close to the body is ideal.

Xu Bing checked his own panel.
