My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Chapter 319 - 264: Heart to Heart

(Item) Ever-Changing Gown; the legendary work of DQ01 Magic Plane’s master mage and Clothing King "Yul Simon"... It’s perfect for any climate, whether scorching summer or frigid winter, and suits any occasion from staying at home, traveling, to attending banquets. With this garment, you need nothing else. It is a dream cherished by every woman and a divine object in the eyes of tailors!

(Skill) Heartfelt Connection; my heart is the universe, and the universe is my heart. Many believe that what we call telepathy is merely a subjective delusion, but in fact, it does exist. The phenomenon of quantum entanglement within organisms is the reason people can achieve telepathy.

And it is more likely to occur between the following subjects: twins, family members, lovers. Whenever one party’s emotions become overly agitated or under a life-threatening situation, the other party might either empathize or feel anxious, even being able to virtually experience the situation, seeing the other’s every move from thousands of miles away.

Once you acquire this skill, the host can not only better understand the thoughts of family and lovers, becoming more harmonious with them, but also disregard distance to continuously sense the scenes their loved ones are experiencing in real-time, as if being present themselves. If the emotional bond is deep enough, they can even converse with them mentally. (Without physical wings, hearts can still connect. Love is quantum entanglement, love is a biological miracle, love truly exists, and is not restricted by anything!!)

"Did you draw it? Really drew it?!!"

Li Peifeng took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his excited mood, but still couldn’t help but pump his fists in the air: "Yes!!"

With three chances to draw, one was a miss, and the remaining two drew [Ever-Changing Gown] and [Heartfelt Connection] respectively. The latter is what made Li Peifeng so happy. To him, this reward seemed almost more powerful than [Steel Kidney].

Just looking at [Heartfelt Connection]’s skill introduction, it may seem nothing special, but upon careful thought, isn’t this just a weakened version of ’Telepathy’, ’Mind Reading Technique’?!

As the saying goes, society is simple; it’s the people who are complicated.

The most complex and unpredictable thing in the world, the most changeable, is the human heart.

If someone could clearly know what others are thinking deep down and sense others’ little thoughts anytime, anywhere, then that person is simply a bug in the world.

In politics, workplace, romance, gambling, he would be invincible!

Becoming the world’s richest person or a high-ranking official would be highly possible.

Even a weakened telepathy, like the [Heartfelt Connection] Li Peifeng acquired, is still incredibly powerful.

First of all, with this skill, the probability of Li Peifeng having conflicts with his lovers and family members becomes smaller, because he can know what they are thinking, like knowing the answers during an exam.

Of course, it doesn’t mean there won’t be any conflicts at all, because sometimes, even if Li Peifeng knows how to make people around him happy, constrained by his own ideas and various factors, he might still not do it.

But benefiting his emotional life is just one of the benefits of [Heartfelt Connection]. Additionally, Li Peifeng finally sees the dawn of monetizing his skills through the system.

"Someday I’ll take Manning and Wenyue to find Huang Tianxuan for a poker game. I can win until the three of them go bankrupt!"

It’s not that Li Peifeng lacks ambition, it’s truly that the skill has limitations. Unless it’s a true mind-reading technique, he might consider visiting the Macau casino to earn some money while avoiding stepping on the house’s interests. Otherwise, relying solely on [Heartfelt Connection] to make a fortune in gambling would be wishful thinking.

"Inhale, exhale~ Let me see what Manning is doing."

Clearing his mind of distractions, Li Peifeng sat on the bed, tossed aside the [Ever-Changing Gown] he had drawn without a glance, and began to experiment with the skill with his eyes closed.

It’s been days since he last saw Miss Xu, and he missed her very much. Now that he had gained [Heartfelt Connection], which allows seeing the other person across distances, he had to try its effect.

Calm heart, clear mind.

He silently repeated Xu Manning’s name in his mind. By the fourth time, a scene suddenly appeared before Li Peifeng’s originally pitch-black eyes.

No, it’s not just seeing the scene; he could also hear sounds, smell scents, and feel the other’s emotions.

This, this feels more like possessing!

Or perhaps installing a 365-degree rotating camera on Xu Manning.

Mysterious and wondrous.

Li Peifeng couldn’t help but immerse himself in it.

...

"Boss Liu? The price you offered is too low, it’s impossible."

Yangzhou-Yue City high-speed rail, sleeper compartment, Xu Manning sat by the window making a phone call, her expression somewhat impatient but still maintaining a polite tone: "Besides, Boss Wu already signed a contract with us before you, and we have already left Yangzhou. If you have more ideas, you can talk to our local branch, alright, that’s it."

"Honey~"

The call ended, Xu Manning sighed in relief, but then seemed to sense something amiss, frowning as she looked towards the door.

The female assistant beside her spoke: "President Xu, once we get off the train, it will be eleven o’clock. Manager Xing from the Yue City branch will first take us for lunch, then to the Light Textile City for the fabric exhibition, and you have a business partner to meet in the afternoon. Tomorrow is the Celtic Clothing exhibition..."

"Hmm." Xu Manning nodded absentmindedly, waited for the female assistant to finish, and asked, "Did you hear someone call me just now?"

The female assistant looked around; in the soft sleeper cabin, there were four berths, all from Sen Meng. Besides the two of them, the other two employees were fast asleep after working overtime last night and she was puzzled: "No? I didn’t hear anything."
