060 The War Without Honor or Humanity

"Yaoyao, I..."
"Enough nonsense. Come with me, or I'll stab you."
"Have mercy, Yaoyao."
"Move!"
Su Mengyao dragged her little aunt back to her office. Calling it an office was a stretch—it had been remodeled into a cozy two-bedroom suite, complete with a bedroom and a living room.
The décor was lovely, exuding the delicate atmosphere of a literary young woman. Su Mengyao tidied up a bit every day, keeping everything spotless.
"Yaoyao, I just wanted to look—"
"Who told you to look? Didn't I block you? Gan Xingzhu, do you have any shame?"
"My big sister gave me ten thousand yuan. I couldn't resist. Besides, I was curious, so I came by..."
Kneeling on the carpet, Gan Xingzhu endured Su Mengyao's scolding.
She didn't believe Su Mengyao would actually kill her, but she did believe she might get slashed a couple of times.
Usually, Su Mengyao was sweet and well-behaved, but that was nonsense—she was a total lunatic.
It didn't matter what she said in the Su family, nor in the Gan family. This niece of theirs could really play the part.
"Your family has fallen on hard times, so you're looking to leech off others, hoping to find a long-term meal ticket to latch onto?"
"Yes."
Gan Xingzhu didn't argue, nodding to admit she wanted to learn from her big sister and become a parasite, whispering, "Food and lodging, plus a bit of pocket money, that's all I need."
"Are you shameless or what?"
"I'm pretty shameless... But I don't want to work or do chores. I've never done housework in my life, and now I'm helping scan packages for inventory at big sis's place."
"Do you know how much my husband makes?"
"I know. Big sister said, more than ten million."
"Bah, that old woman doesn't know a thing!"
"Wow, it's even more than ten million?!"
Gan Xingzhu's eyes lit up, and her kneeling posture straightened a bit.
"Kneel properly! Or I'll give you two slashes across your face!"
"Okay..."
Her just-straightened back bent again.
Su Mengyao rose and paced the room. With underfloor heating and a carpet, she wore only socks, walking slowly before sitting cross-legged on the sofa.
She glanced at Gan Xingzhu, shook the half pair of tailor's scissors in her hand, and then lifted Gan Xingzhu's chin. "You do have a bit of beauty, I'll admit..."
"Yaoyao, we're both women..."

"Shut up! What do you know?! My husband is a man among men. Do you think I'm mentally disturbed or have orientation issues?"
Gan Xingzhu pursed her lips in grievance, thinking, maybe you don't have orientation issues, but you're definitely mentally disturbed!
Still, she wondered what that orphan from the welfare institute saw in a woman like Su Mengyao.
Was it just her angelic face, so pure it made people hesitate to desecrate it?
Or her succubus-like figure, so alluring that no one could take their eyes off her?
How shallow.
But that was fine; only shallow men stood a chance.
"Take off your down jacket."
"But, Yaoyao, I really..."
"Are you taking it off or not?"
"Alright."
Gan Xingzhu had no choice but to remove her down jacket.
"You've got so many layers under that? Take off the cashmere sweater too."
"Still more?"
"The air conditioning is warm, and the floor has heating. Are you afraid of freezing?"
"Alright then..."
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Gan Xingzhu took off her cashmere sweater, her figure already well-defined beneath it. Underneath, a stretchy cotton thermal top clung to her body, accentuating her shape.
Su Mengyao sized her up for a moment and nodded. "Didn't expect my aunt to be so well developed."
Gan Xingzhu, clutching her chest, turned slightly away in shame.
"Are you a virgin?"
"Ah?"
"I'm asking if you're still a virgin. Just answer!"
"I am..." Gan Xingzhu lowered her head, then suddenly looked up at Su Mengyao. "You don't need to check that, do you?"
"Let me check."
"Yaoyao, please don't..."
"Let me see!"
"Yaoyao, stop it..."

...
Boss Li had no idea what President Yao was doing next door. He was busy studying the new "Reputation Prize Pool" launched by the Dog System.
The "ding" notification came quickly. In addition to the "Reputation Mall" selling skills, there was now a "Reputation Prize Pool," costing ten thousand reputation points per draw—utterly absurd.
Boss Li couldn't tell what the items in the prize pool were worth.
[Reputation Prize Pool has been opened.]
[Prizes available for drawing include: Hideout/Rob Simonsen, Battle Without Honor Or Humanity/Tomoyasu Hotei...]
Staring at these unfamiliar names, Li Jie felt overwhelmed at first, but figured he'd just draw randomly—he had an extra floating reputation of over a hundred thousand anyway.
Ten draws wouldn't hurt.
The only thing that annoyed him was how expensive the pool was, and that the prizes were random.
In the "Reputation Mall," a hundred reputation points could buy a basic skill. He couldn't draw acting or singing, but he didn't need those anyway, so there was nothing to regret.
This "Reputation Prize Pool" required ten thousand reputation points per draw. Boss Li only hoped the Dog System wouldn't let him down.
After drawing, Boss Li sighed at the value, though it made him want to beat his chest in frustration.
Take "Battle Without Honor Or Humanity/Tomoyasu Hotei" as an example—he had no idea what it was or who Tomoyasu Hotei was, but thanks to his "Arranging (Beginner)" skill, he recreated the track on his computer and realized he'd heard it before.
He couldn't recall where the track originally came from, but what left the deepest impression in "Kill Bill" was this very soundtrack.
Damn...
He couldn't remember it most of the time, but as soon as he recalled "Kill Bill," he gritted his teeth and it came back to him.
Soon, Boss Li calmed down. After all, without the Dog System, he wouldn't have the "Arranging (Beginner)" skill, nor "Music Theory (Beginner)," and wouldn't have been able to reproduce anything.
He could only hum a small section, but that small section was valuable enough.
He should have watched more movies and TV shows before crossing over!
Still, it wasn't a big deal. Though the Dog System limited the "Reputation Prize Pool" to one draw per day, with his bug exploit and over two hundred million reputation points, Li Jie didn't mind drawing for three hundred sixty-five days straight.
He was determined to see if the Dog System had any limits.
With "Battle Without Honor Or Humanity" in hand, Boss Li directly named it "War Without Honor or Humanity," credited to "Tomoyasu Hotei," but the copyright belonged to him anyway.
"Better hurry and cut a sample clip."
Li Jie headed to President Yao's office next door to edit the video. He envisioned the black-clad "catman" emerging from the darkness with a machete in slow motion, accompanied by "War Without Honor or Humanity"—it would be irresistibly cool.
The style would be off the charts!
