My CEO Harem Cultivation System

When the Panda spoke about the \'targets\' given by his System as having certain criteria that made them suitable for him… he became curious of what those were—and if the System wasn\'t willing to provide them all, then it was up to him to figure it out on his own. Or to at least understand what his secretary had that made her the First Quest.

The moment he arrived back into his office, he came across her with the tray in her hands and what appeared to be freshly brewed tea. "Why… uh, hello there, Mister Li?" Her lips twitched in that moment and her face was slightly pale, "I made you a new batch of tea, boss. Is that alright?"

There were guidelines in the scroll that specified drinking every eight hours… for a mortal. So it wasn\'t that bad when he was a cultivator already? Li Yang nodded and instead focused on something else.

\'Assess Individual Ying Yue He\'

Individual is an insignificant being in the earthly plane, however there is some merit to their constitution if one were to pursue the path of Body Cultivation or Martial Arts. Individual seem to have reawakened a suppressed bloodline that had thinned throughout the millennia.

Li Yang stared at her for a moment, uncomprehending and then glanced at the Panda who also looked surprised. Didn\'t this creature know of this?

"Mister Li?" Ying Yue He prompted him again with a nervous smile on her face. "Shall I leave this at your office, boss?"

He gave her a nod. "Thank you."

Li Yang had noticed her skin looking particularly fair and smooth, and he assumed it was something she applied to her face… but it was another matter entirely. The man stepped into his office after the secretary.

Ying Yue He left the tray, teapot and cup before giving him some alone time and it was that moment that the CEO poured himself some tea and drank it down.

"Dang, someone looks thirsty." The Panda chortled and descended down the table. "Are you now sorry that you let that fish go away?"

Li Yang cleared his throat and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, "Surprised rather. It does not seem that she is aware of it at all based on our conversation…"

"Yeah, she reawakened it somehow."

It took him a second to connect things, and he looked down at his teacup and the contents inside of it, "She drank the Spiritual Root Blossoming tea as well."

"Woah, did she drink from the same cup to go blushy blushy and say something like \'Kya—an indirect kiss with the CEO\' or something?" The Panda gestured around with a high pitch voice and made a face. "Ick, it physically hurt me to do that."

"And yet you still did it," Li Yang shook his head and turned to the screen before summoning the Charm Shop. "Although it reminds me of something."

The CEO stared at the price of Bloodline Awakening and sighed, he rested a hand on his cheek. "It\'s quite expensive to awaken a bloodline when my secretary simply drank tea."

"She probably had some kind of… heaven-defying luck."

The Panda\'s choice of words made him look up, it looked like it swallowed some kind of huge pill while saying it but that held significance. Li Yang wasn\'t sure if he shared the same kind of luck, but if luck did not work for him—perseverance might.

"Will you try to awaken a bloodline?" The Panda asked. "You got enough points for it~"

"That is if I have any bloodline to awaken—what are the chances that I have a bloodline useful to cultivation? And how much concentration do I even need for it to be useful?" Li Yang tapped his fingers at the table and looked at the Charm Shop\'s screen. "It\'s similar to the Constitution refinement—I have none to refine, so I can\'t buy it."

He wasn\'t that much of a risk-taker either. All of the Charm Points he accumulated would be gone in a flash, and he couldn\'t risk it simply because he had seen someone who had what he didn\'t have.

"You never tried buying that Dao of Attraction either, what\'s up with that?"

Li Yang sighed, "I believe it is much more useful to focus on ascending my cultivation—that Dao of Attraction may simply just attract trouble."

"Didn\'t you read the information?"

Dao of Attraction

Written by an all-powerful Sage from a thousand years ago, this is a powerful scroll that unleashes the Sage\'s secrets. Those will be imprinted on your mind and marked into your soul. Wealth. Power. Envy of Others. And more importantly, your Harem.

"It sounds too similar to a scam—if that Sage actually obtained such a thing, then why did he decide to write it down? Was it intentionally for others? He didn\'t need to write it down if he had decided to keep it for himself. If everyone were to have their hands on it, then would everybody be actually able to obtain what they wanted? Or would there be a conflict of interest?"

"That\'s a limited way of thinking."

"Not everyone can become powerful, rich beings and those that are in a good position will less likely share it—afraid that their position will be threatened." Li Yang sighed. "If everybody can be and will become rich—then nobody will be."

Attracting too many women would also be tiresome for him. He could barely keep up with one woman\'s personality… what were to occur if his entire \'harem\' gathered together when he wasn\'t ready?

It would be too premature.

"Alright, yada yada. That\'s through, so you\'re going to buy what you need and leave the Secretary alone as you originally planned?"

"That was what I had in mind." It was the reason why \'Date the Secretary\' Quest only lasted for less than twenty-four hours. His own understanding of it and his intention to only date her for one night made it work.

The creature scoffed, and motioned at him. "You know somehow things around you still stir up their trouble—like that mother with her psychic kid. Your secretary ain\'t gonna be able to truly be separate and then there\'s her cultivation to think about!"

"The one who stirs up trouble here is you and the System, but I digress." Li Yang leaned back on his chair and looked out the windows. "It\'s better that she doesn\'t get involved—I\'ll take back the tea canister to prevent her from drinking it any longer."

"You think that\'s going to cut it?"

"Yes."

"Geez, you\'re making decisions for her when she doesn\'t even have a clue on what\'s going on with her body." The Panda clicked its tongue, and it floated upside down the air and twisted its gaze at him. "Makes you kinda similar to that Mother or Bo Lifen who thinks they know what\'s right without considering other people\'s opinion."

It might have hit a point, almost a direct attack. But it was a hard bias to combat with, thinking that you knew better than anyone was a difficult thing to erase. He sighed and the man stared back at the creature, "You want me to tell her?"

He still held on to the idea that he could consult with executives, business and legal partners—but the decision still ended up with him.

"Huh, me?" The Panda blew a raspberry, "I\'m doing commentary here, so don\'t mind me. In the end, it\'s either you do it or somebody else will notice and tell it. Imagine how she\'d feel when her beloved boss noticed it but didn\'t say a thing? She\'d feel betrayed."

Li Yang eyed the creature, "You also act like you understand a woman\'s heart and psyche."

The Panda\'s fur blasted into red and it jabbed a paw at him. "You—"

Li Yang pursed his lips, "It seems that the others also take delight into your suffering, does it not?" He remembered the Evaluation given by the System of the Panda in front of him.

An insignificant and cursed being.

But the System never called it weak.
