——————
Super big explosion?
Mu An was clearly shocked by this incredible skill.
If it really could control the target's five senses 100%, creating illusions,
Does that mean if he wanted someone to commit suicide in the illusion, they would really do it obediently?
[System Prompt: If the target's luck is higher than yours, they will be awakened before dying in the illusion, automatically breaking the illusion!]
As soon as this prompt appeared, Mu An curled his lips.
But he also felt that this limitation was relatively reasonable.
Otherwise, if the protagonists of this world dared to appear in front of him, they would be completely out of luck.
And if they all obediently committed suicide, the heavenly way would probably go crazy!
"Don't forget to collect the ten million from the betting money, and convert all the jade from these gambling stones into cash, then invest it in your new company!"
"Consider it my initial investment for you!"
"Now let's prepare and head to your family's banquet!"
Mu An patted Lin Zichan, who still looked a bit dazed, and spoke in a slightly lazy tone.
Of course, he didn't forget to pick a nice piece of raw material as a gift for the Lin family banquet!
"Oh... oh!"
Lin Zichan had just regained her senses, her beautiful eyes starting to refocus.
It was no wonder she looked dazed.
After all, Mu An had just casually earned more money than she had working hard for years in her company.
Anyone would feel crushed in such a situation!
"Are you not worried that I might run away with this money?"
Seeing how indifferent he was about throwing money around, Lin Zichan couldn't help but ask.
"Since I gave it to you, I naturally don't fear you running away! In other words, even if I gave you the opportunity, would you dare to run?"
Mu An squinted his eyes, locking gazes with her.
The distance between them was so close that they could feel each other's breath!
After a while, Lin Zichan averted her gaze, her pretty face flushed with a few different shades of red.
The monk can run, but the temple can't!
She knew deep down that with her parents as her weakness, she naturally wouldn't dare to run.
In front of him, no matter where she ran, she couldn't escape!
Moreover, she now inexplicably didn't want to run anymore, but rather started to think... about making it real!
[Emotional fluctuation +20 from Lin Zichan's heartfelt admiration, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +3000]!]
'A little ice queen CEO? Got it!'
Mu An's lips curled up slightly as he left with Lin Zichan.
However, before leaving, he decided to test out the newly acquired special skill, Mirage, on the protagonist Lin Fan!
This guy had such a high explosion rate; as long as there was a chance to explode his coins, he certainly wouldn't let it go.
On the other side, Lin Fan felt like his heart was dead.
Old Liu didn't blame him, just sighed and said that from now on, they should pretend they never met.
After saying this, he seemed to age a few decades in an instant and staggered away.
Lin Fan felt hatred in his heart!
If it weren't for today's incident, he would have surely taken off in life.
How could he end up with such a notorious outcome?
At the critical moment, the Golden Eye let him down?
He gasped, feeling extremely unwilling, wanting to endure the pain and forcefully activate the Golden Eye again to give it another try.
As a result, this time it went surprisingly smoothly, with no hindrance or pain at all.
And upon looking, he discovered a piece of raw material with 'super top-quality jade'!
The price was definitely over a million!
This made him even angrier.
If he had seen this earlier, how could he have lost so badly?!
But now, it wasn't too late!
He spent all the money he earned from gambling on stones today to buy it.
The super incredible big leak was right in front of him; how could he not pick it up?
When he was paying, the clerk asked again with certainty,
"Are you really going to buy this piece of raw material?"
"Of course!"
Lin Fan replied somewhat impatiently.
After buying this piece of raw material, he still had to rush to the Lin family's family banquet, so he couldn't afford to waste time.
The clerk secretly scoffed.
After losing so badly before, he still didn't know when to stop?
Now he was eyeing a piece of raw material that anyone with common sense would know was almost impossible to yield anything?
He deserved to lose everything!
Lin Fan had no idea what the clerk was thinking.
In his eyes, this piece of raw material was a hidden treasure, and he couldn't wait to buy it and claim it as his own!
…..
Lin Family.
Today, the Lin family set up a grand family banquet.
One reason was that their son-in-law, the young master of the Mu family, was coming to visit.
The other reason was that Lin Fan's real mother, Lin Ailian, wanted him to recognize his roots.
"Welcome, Young Master Mu!"
As soon as Mu An and his companion arrived, they were respectfully welcomed inside.
"Young Mu is here? It's been so long since we last met, and you've grown into a handsome young man! I remember I used to hold you when you were little!"
"Zichan is usually cold to others; if she misbehaves, just let us know, and we'll teach her a good lesson! We guarantee she'll behave!"
Lin Zichan's parents also came out to greet them, their attitude friendly and without any airs.
Mu An politely greeted everyone in turn.
Meanwhile, Lin Zichan rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Where is the daughter who hasn't married yet siding with her in-laws?
Who is her real family, anyway?
[Lin Zichan feels a bit resentful towards her parents who are on the side of outsiders, emotional fluctuation +13, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +2000]!]
...
Before long, the family banquet began as scheduled.
Other core members of the Lin family also made their appearances one by one.
On the way, Mu An had heard Lin Zichan briefly introduce these people, so he had some understanding.
The Lin family was originally one of the old prestigious families.
At its peak, it occupied seventy percent of the gambling stone market in Long Country.
But now, it was not doing so well.
Due to several generations of ineptitude and even reckless squandering of their wealth, it had gradually begun to decline.
Their market share in the gambling stone industry had dropped to about thirty percent, more than halved from before!
Therefore, the marriage alliance with the Mu family was considered quite important to them.
They would naturally not refuse to exchange one Lin family daughter for the capital to continue their extravagant lifestyle!
They even wished they could send more Lin family daughters to gain more benefits!
…..
On the other side.
Lin Fan sat at his designated seat, led by a charming woman.
It was his first time experiencing such a high-class banquet, and he felt a bit awkward, occasionally adjusting his suit.
But while he was quietly observing the crowd, he suddenly spotted two familiar figures!
It was Mu An and Lin Zichan!
Wasn't this the Lin family's family banquet? How could they be here?
Lin Fan couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief.
