All the heavens are bound to the palace intrigue system

Those short mules have no human rights. After registering everyone's addresses and contact information, Brother Kang notified everyone to disband, without even giving them a membership bonus.

The others chatted and laughed as if it were normal, and were very clear about their own roles.

"Where are you going, Puzi? Want to have a drink together?" Tall Man suggested with a smile before parting ways.

"Next time, I have something to do later." Yu Li wasn't in the mood for drinking. He had to deal with the threat posed by the loudspeaker.

Fortunately, he had three days, enough time for him to make plans.

As they left the abandoned tennis court, the eight short mules saw Kang Ge standing respectfully in front of a dark-skinned, unremarkable-looking young man, seemingly saying something.

Everyone went up to greet him.

"This is Brother Sheng, he works for Brother Tony. Greet him." Brother Kang was quite authoritative when dealing with his underlings.

"Hello, Brother Sheng!" everyone greeted in unison.

Brother Sheng?

Yu Li raised an eyebrow. Could it be Watson?

Watson is one of the main characters in the movie, and his true identity is an undercover police officer.

If it really is this person, then could we make use of him?

Yu Li's mind immediately started working.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, the system's voice rang in his mind again.

"Ding! Although you have successfully entered the harem and been granted the title of 'Consort,' you discover that a Consort who has never received the Emperor's favor holds a precarious position, and this status alone cannot resolve the threats facing your family. However, at this time, through Consort Kang's introduction, you meet Consort Hua, who holds a high position in the harem..."

Consort Hua... Consort Kang...

Yu Li's lips twitched a few times.

"Knowing the plot, you realize that Consort Hua is a spy planted by the suzerain state. You have a flash of inspiration and realize that this secret may not only help you solve your family crisis, but also help you find a powerful backer in the treacherous harem and pave the way for your promotion."

"Hidden quest triggered: I'm going to keep this secret. Quest requirements: Use the secret to threaten Consort Hua, get her to help resolve the family crisis, and get her to help you get the chance to serve the emperor and be promoted to the rank of Consort."

"Reward for successful mission: A windfall (depending on the degree of mission completion); Penalty for failure: Being sidelined."

This system, to put it bluntly, is indeed quite abstract. But the fact that it sends out tasks as soon as you start thinking about it is also quite humane.

Even without the reward, Yu Li was prepared to take on the task. After all, using Watson was the quickest way he could think of to resolve the situation.

Moreover, judging from the original storyline, Watson is a decent person, and it's worth the risk.

After Yu Li made this decision, the system issued another notification—

"Detected that Pu Ying's desire to rise to power is urgent and firm. Main quest two is hereby issued: Please be promoted to the rank of Changzai within ten days. Reward for successful quest: 10 free attribute points; Penalty for failed quest: 10 attribute points will be randomly deducted."

Always there?

Becoming an outer "blue lantern" (a symbol of loyalty) is an agreement. So, the next step, shouldn't it be becoming a formal "49" (a member of the Vietnamese gang)?

Ten days is enough!

Yu Li, on the other hand, was quite confident. Given the opportunity, he was certain he could seize it. And even if there wasn't one, he could create one.

This is nothing to him, a man who has dominated the business world for over a decade.

After the eight people greeted each other, Brother Kang casually waved his hand to signal them to leave.

Everyone else scattered, but Yu Li deliberately walked up to Hua Sheng and quickly whispered three words in his ear: "Officer Ma!"

Then, without even glancing at Watson's expression, he strode away.

In fact, Watson's expression was quite interesting.

He turned around abruptly and stared at Yu Li's back, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"Brother Sheng?" Brother Kang called out tentatively.

Hua Sheng pointed at Yu Li's retreating figure and casually remarked, "This kid looks familiar. What's his name?"

"You mean Pu Zai?" Brother Kang chuckled. "How come you've met him, Brother Sheng? He was doing pretty well before and caught Tony's eye."

Hua Sheng's eyelids twitched. He took the notebook from Kang Ge's hand, flipped through it, and secretly wrote down Yu Li's address and contact information.

"Alright, I'll leave this to you. I'm going to the sauna this afternoon. Tell Tony when you see him, and call me if anything comes up." Watson patted Kang on the shoulder with a smile, but his expression immediately turned serious as he turned away.

Officer Ma... he must be referring to his partner Ma Jun. How did this guy know?

My identity is in danger of being exposed!

The kid didn't spell it out directly, but secretly told him whether it was the kid's own idea, or whether Tony had discovered something and was testing him, or even setting a trap.

He dared not gamble! Losing would cost him his life!

This matter must be reported immediately!

This tactic is called "beating the grass to scare the snake," or "letting those who are willing take the bait."

After calling out Officer Ma's name, Watson had to react.

Either he calls the police to arrest me, or he comes to find me in person to investigate. In any case, there is a reasonable way to mediate.

He hailed a taxi and quickly returned to Daxing Village. However, he didn't go to his mother's dessert shop; instead, he went home.

He lived in Hing Fai House, a public housing estate. The place was very small, with his family of four crammed into a space of less than 30 square meters.

At this time, Yu Li's mother, Lin Yue'e, and younger sister, Yu Qian, should both be at the dessert shop, so only Yu Li was at home.

As for the gambling father, Yu Tai, it's uncertain whether he's still in Hong Kong at this moment, in order to avoid debts.

"There are still rewards I haven't claimed yet, System, open the attribute panel." Yu Li closed the door and sat on the bed, looking expectant.

Why can we tolerate the system's abstraction? Isn't it because of the reward at this moment?

Host: Yu Li

Current world ranking: (Agreed)

Strength: 71/200

Agility: 81/200

Stamina: 74/200

Recovery ability: 67/200

Mental Power: 64/200

Intelligence: 119/200

"Without a reference point, there's no basis for comparison..."

Yu Li stroked his chin thoughtfully. Judging from his condition and performance, this number should be the level that a normal young man should have.

The system rewarded me with 10 free attribute points. As far as my current needs are concerned, my combat strength is the most urgent thing to improve.

Although he is not skilled in boxing or martial arts, as the saying goes, strength can overcome all techniques, so it's always good to put some effort into strength.

With that in mind, he simply added all 10 attribute points to Strength. The total number of points in the Strength attribute immediately became 81.

The next moment, he felt a soreness and swelling all over his body, and a tearing pain, as if his whole body was being cut by knives.

Fortunately, the pain was still within his tolerance range, and Yu Li gritted his teeth and endured it. The modification process lasted for about three minutes, and only after it was over did he realize that he was soaked in sweat.

He casually picked up the water glass on the table and gulped it down, then rushed into the bathroom and quickly stripped himself naked.

"Damn, that's awesome!" Yu Li's eyes lit up as he looked at the smooth lines of his body and the newly appeared eight-pack abs in the mirror.

Who says this system is stupid? This system is amazing!

He is now very much looking forward to what level he will reach if he adds all the points.

A terrestrial immortal?

After admiring his own body for a while, Yu Li took a leisurely shower, changed his clothes, and then went out, heading towards the dessert shop.

But he hadn't walked far when he saw someone waving at him from a restaurant not far away.

"They arrived pretty quickly..."
