The door opened.
An Jincheng is not particularly handsome, but quite refined. Jicheng’s cosmetic surgery industry is very developed, with an artificial beauty coverage rate reaching ninety percent, and there are quite a few artificial handsome men as well.
However, An Jincheng showed no sign of having undergone any surgery. He stands around 1.70 meters tall, and if one were to describe him, his most notable feature—is his lack of notable features.
As the youngest son of the An Family, the top plutocrat of the Sanqiu Group, An Jincheng doesn’t possess any wealthy personality traits. Instead, he resembles the boy next door.
There have been many reports tarnishing An Jincheng’s reputation—An Jincheng changes girlfriends, switches cars, hosts Zeus parties, sleeps with celebrities, squanders his fortune, mingles with criminals, and commits burglary just for the thrill...
One could say An Jincheng is the epitome of a spoiled rich kid. Yet, his face really doesn’t align with these behaviors.
An Jincheng opened the door shirtless, wearing only a pair of sports shorts. He was originally doing push-ups.
Wen Xishu didn’t expect that this young master of the An Family would have such well-defined muscles.
"Huh, you’re not from here? I haven’t seen you before." An Jincheng said in surprise.
Actually, he noticed the knocking earlier—it wasn’t tea time, and people here are precise and mechanical; knockings shouldn’t happen at this time.
Wen Xishu also noticed that An Jincheng didn’t seem to be affected by his necklace.
His suspicion was soon confirmed.
[You finally met the target. Let the target experience joy, and you can complete this mission. Do you plan to:]
A series of options appeared, none of which contained this mission. Perhaps because the necklace was in effect, it would only be reusable after its duration had ended.
Or perhaps An Jincheng was immune to the necklace’s influence. The description of Wenren Mirror’s item indicated—this item does not work on highly abnormal biological entities.
Wen Xishu was still unsure; his current option was—[Option 4: Engage in conversation with An Jincheng and make him understand his situation.]
With an eleven-point score, a moderate point, the action was in effect but without additional attribute boost. The outcome of his conversation with An Jincheng wholly depended on Wen Xishu’s performance.
"May I talk with you, Mr. An?" Wen Xishu asked.
An Jincheng was quite friendly:
"Sure, it’s rare for someone to come see me. It’s nice to have someone to talk to, come in."
Wen Xishu closed the door first before sitting on the sofa:
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Wen Xishu, and I’m here to help you."
An Jincheng feigned confusion:
"Help me? Help me with what? Do I need help?"
Wen Xishu did not immediately say he would help him leave here; he first had to confirm if An Jincheng was affected.
"Haven’t you noticed something strange about this building? Some people have moved in, but they seem somewhat off." Wen Xishu asked.
"I don’t think so. Your question is rather odd."
An Jincheng continued:
"Everything is quite normal here, as you can see. After this mansion was completed, many moved in, everyone displaying happy expressions on their faces."
"In Jicheng, and in the Jiangnan District, living in such a luxurious building is many people’s dream. I’m very happy now because I can realize these people’s dreams."
"By the way, why don’t you move in too? Are you happy with your life? Do you need help?"
An Jincheng revealed a smile, a heartfelt smile of generosity, sincerely wanting to help others.
Wen Xishu’s first reaction was—this mansion indeed harbors evil. Many of those who came in here seem like puppets.
Yin Junchi, Jiang Yingce, He Taiping, and others, after living here for a few days, completely changed.
An Jincheng has stayed here for so long; he must have been influenced by some power.
This was Wen Xishu’s judgment. Greed corresponds to generosity.
Judging by the reaction, this An Jincheng has become extraordinarily generous. He seems pleased with his substantial expenditure to build Miracle Mansion.
"I don’t need it, thank you." Wen Xishu began contemplating strategies.
"Based on the previous guide, I need to make sure Yin Junchi leaves here while maintaining enthusiasm for work... Only then will a certain defense mechanism not be triggered."
"Now that An Jincheng has been distorted, does it mean I need to find a way to make him leave while remaining generous?"
While Wen Xishu observed An Jincheng, An Jincheng also observed Wen Xishu.
"How is my grandfather doing recently?" An Jincheng asked.
Did he mistake me for someone sent by his grandfather?
While exploring his room in Deceit Tower using his action points, Wen Xishu briefly learned about the Sanqiu Group and An Zhenqi. The primary leader of Sanqiu Group was An Jincheng’s grandfather—An Rongzai.
An Jincheng also has an older brother, named An Youxuan.
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"I’m not sent by your grandfather."
An Jincheng didn’t believe it, thinking it was a test by his grandfather:
"Sorry, I have a few charitable projects to research this afternoon, and I plan to make some improvements to Miracle Mansion. I think you must leave now. For my grandfather, just report truthfully."
"Additionally, when you see my grandfather, convey my regards. Also, I will not leave here; this place makes me feel... my existence and the meaning of it to the world."
"The old me was just a waste. Now I am truly alive."
