Mu An hadn't forgotten that he still had two "plot fragments" left unused.
[You have used a [Plot Fragment *1]]
"This is a plot fragment about the protagonist Bai Zihao and the female lead Su Zhirou!"
"Three days later, Bai Zihao finally emerged from the disappointment of not winning the lottery. He decided to regroup and, using the favor of having saved the school beauty once in middle school, borrowed a large sum of money from her, intending to invest it all in the soon-to-soar Qubi coin!"
"At the same time, he promised to help the school beauty make money!"
"This time, he seized the opportunity perfectly, selling all his Qubi coins at the peak, making a fortune, and earning the admiration and affection of the school beauty Su Zhirou!"
"Not only did he easily make money, but he also captured the school beauty's heart. Bai Zihao felt he was on top of the world!"
"Below are the detailed data on Qubi coin's trends..."
[Note: If a large amount of capital is invested, it may change the future trend of Qubi coin!]
——————
After reading, Mu An furrowed his brows again.
As expected of the protagonist, his mind was filled with ways to make money!
In his impression, Qubi coin in this world was a new type of virtual currency, somewhat similar to Bitcoin from his previous life.
But Bai Zihao, as a retail investor, was able to seize an opportunity amidst the crowd to make a profit.
That was truly against the odds!
If anyone else dared to act so recklessly, they would probably have lost everything by now!
Mu An had also considered investing a large sum of money to change the trend of Qubi coin, preventing the other party from making money.
But such an approach would clearly be self-destructive!
After all, once the predetermined trend changed, the funds he invested could all be lost!
Investing tens of millions or even hundreds of millions just to sabotage the other party's few tens of thousands?
Was he out of his mind?
That was a last resort!
If there were any better methods, he certainly wouldn't want to engage in such mindless money-burning behavior!
He might as well check what useful information the second plot fragment had...
After pondering for a moment, Mu An used the last plot fragment as well.
[You have used a [Plot Fragment *1]]
"This is a plot fragment about the protagonist Bai Zihao and the female lead Chu Youmeng!"
"Chu Youmeng comes from a poor family, relying on her part-time job after school for living expenses and tuition, with no extra entertainment activities."
"She has no money to buy new shoes, no money to buy new clothes, and can only rent a six or seven square meter stairwell!"
"Two days later, after returning from her part-time job at night, Chu Youmeng unfortunately encountered her drunken landlord."
"The landlord, emboldened by alcohol, attempted to assault the girl, using the excuse of unpaid rent and threatening her with calling the police to force her to comply!"
"If it weren't for Bai Zihao, who foresaw this incident and hid nearby, intervening at the most critical moment to stop the landlord's actions, the girl would have almost lost her purity!"
"After this incident, Chu Youmeng's affection for Bai Zihao greatly increased!"
"Below are the details of where Chu Youmeng lived and the specific timeline of the incident..."
————
Bang!
After reading, Mu An couldn't help but darken his face, instinctively slamming his hand on the table.
The anger on his face was almost impossible to hide!
Without thinking, he wanted to call Old Jiang to deal with that scumbag.
But after hesitating and struggling for a while, he stopped.
If the target this time were Su Zhirou, he might not have been so agitated.
But if the target is Chu Yaomeng, that strong and silly girl who is living her life with effort, he admits that he has been somewhat moved by pity. He instinctively does not want all the suffering in the world to fall upon this fairy-like girl!
However, reason tells him that this cannot maximize his benefits! It would even be the dumbest thing to do! As a villain, the most important thing for him is to fully extract the rewards from the female lead and use these rewards to better deal with the protagonist!
After a long time, Mu An's expression remained uncertain. His heart was also indecisive, not knowing what to do.
"Damn it! As a great villain, I can do whatever I want! I can do it however I want!"
"I don't believe that with the script in my hands, I can't outplay those hypocritical protagonists!"
Mu An let out a heavy breath, and his thoughts finally became clearer. He immediately instructed Lao Jiang to send someone to keep a close watch on that scumbag landlord. If the other party makes any moves, they should go up and beat him up first!
Of course, the ultimate solution is either to get rid of that scumbag landlord or to make Chu Yaomeng move out of that place as soon as possible.
For the girl, moving would require a lot of money. Given that little girl's character, it would definitely not work to just give her money without her earning it.
So, he still needs to plan this out slowly.
After temporarily resolving all of this, Mu An felt much happier. Just as he was about to go to sleep, he inexplicably discovered a 'small bulge' under the blanket on his bed.
When he lifted it, he found a girl in a maid outfit! And she was still asleep, drooling!
Mu An's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He suddenly remembered the warm bed request he had casually made to the little maid, Ning'er.
Actually, his original intention was to extract rewards from her. But he never expected that she seemed to take it seriously!
But is this how you warm a bed? Even if it's really warm, you don't need to fall asleep yourself, right?!
It seemed that she sensed the blanket was missing and felt a bit cold and uncomfortable, causing Ning'er to 'wake up' reluctantly.
She sat up while yawning and rubbed her sleepy eyes.
"Eh? Young Master, good morning!"
The girl's rosy little face looked unexpectedly cute, though she seemed still unaware of the current situation.
"...."
Mu An's face darkened.
The maid was sleeping on the bed, and the master was standing by the bed.
Has the roles reversed?
As he thought, if Mu An could generate emotional rewards himself, he felt he could definitely max out the rewards right now!
"Hehe! My little maid, do you know what you are doing right now?!"
Mu An looked at her with a forced smile.
"Eh? Isn't it sleeping?"
Ning'er said sleepily.
But soon she seemed to realize something and hurriedly stood up. During this, she even shyly stuck out her cute little tongue at Mu An.
"Sorry, Young Master! I accidentally fell asleep!"
Ning'er quickly bowed her head and admitted her mistake.
However, this wasn't entirely her fault. If anyone should be blamed, it should be the comfort of the Young Master's bed!
Especially that unique scent of the Young Master, it really is quite addictive!
It made her want to, hehehe, want to...
The girl's cheeks involuntarily flushed a bit.
Of course, she could never say such things out loud. Otherwise, it might not just be a simple scolding!
[Because sleeping on your bed, the girl seems to have thought of something inappropriate, emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +3000]!]
[Don't doubt it, the girl who just woke up is the most confused during her day, so it's not surprising for her to act strangely!"
[Ning'er's shy and expectant emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Beginner Skill: Cooking]!]
——————
Confused? Strange?
Shy? Expectant?
Mu An was once again left speechless.
It seems that his maid is somewhat abnormal?
Where is the slightest resemblance to the female lead?
She can't possibly be a fake female lead, right?
"Young Master, Ning'er is honestly warming your bed, it's just... it was too comfortable, and I accidentally fell asleep!"
"Sorry, Young Master! This is my work mistake! Please punish me!"
Ning'er's pretty face turned slightly red as she bowed and apologized softly.
"Punish?"
Mu An stroked his chin thoughtfully.
To be honest, isn't this a good opportunity to gain emotional rewards?
"Yes! No matter what the punishment is, Ning'er is willing to accept it!"
"Really accept any punishment?"
Mu An pressed on.
"Yes... yes!"
Seemingly thinking of something, the girl's pretty face flushed, and she mustered up her courage, feeling inexplicably expectant.
Her intuition told her that today's Young Master seemed quite different.
If it were in the past, he would have long used the excuse of 'I am devoted to the beautiful school flower Su Zhirou' to kick her out.
She wouldn't have dared to say such 'bold' words!
[The girl is looking forward to you punishing her! Ning'er's expectant emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [A Slightly Odd Colorful Cat Teaser]!]
[A Slightly Odd Colorful Cat Teaser]: The oddity is not in the cat teaser that changes seven colors, but in the person using the cat teaser!
So, please do not use it in some strange situations!
——————
Mu An: ???
As expected, these rewards are indeed a hundred percent odd!
Does he look like someone who enjoys doing body color art? That's a blatant slander!
"Ahem, since you say that, it wouldn't be right for me not to punish you!"
"So, I've decided to punish you..."
Mu An's eyes turned, and he suddenly thought of a good 'punishment'.
"Just punish you to count my name a thousand times in your heart before going to bed every day!"
Mu An was very satisfied with this genius idea of his.
This way, it can achieve 'sustainable development' (gaining rewards) while also serving as a real punishment!
Ning'er: ???
[The girl's small beautiful eyes were filled with great confusion, but with her rich experience in love theory, she suddenly understood something. Ning'er's shy emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +3333]!]
[From Ning'er, emotional fluctuation of immense anticipation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +6666]!]
[From Ning'er, emotional fluctuation of full enthusiasm +30, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +9999]...]
"Since it's the young master's order, Ning'er will definitely ensure the task is completed!"
The girl assured with full enthusiasm.
Mu An: ???
This development seems a bit off!
Shouldn't it be full of complaints?
How did it turn into such enthusiasm?
But the result is still good, and it can be considered that he has achieved his initial goal of harvesting the other party's emotional rewards.

Meanwhile,
Bai Zihao was not having such a comfortable time.
