Attribute Farming System

The System's voice rang out with an air of confidence. [It's simple, really,] it said. [You having an incentive to stay a virgin will improve your chances of having no women as distractions. Your path—in its essence—is a very long, very difficult one. It's highly doubtful that any woman or man in existence will be able to keep up with you in this lifetime.]

[Furthermore, this direction for you is excellent for your Character Development!]

[Suffering and pain = character development! And what better pain and suffering is there than the one that's derived from being tempted by the most country-toppling beauties around—yet being unable to sate your thirst!? I call this Character Development Regime, 'Dying of Thirst, No Water for You, Little B*tch!']

[How is it? Do you like it as much as I do? (¬‿¬)]

Every day, Knox woke up—and every day, he grew to hate his System more than the day before.

Was it a secret special ability of his Attribute Farming System? That question remained unknown.

But regardless of how much he wished his System were something he could physically punch, he had a sexy jade beauty staring him down. It was impossible to discern what exactly she was feeling just based on her deadpan face.

"Young Master Knox?" Amilia asked respectfully. "Have you met your fiancée—the Young Miss—yet?"

"Who??" Knox asked. "Your Young Miss?? Nope, have no idea who you're talking about."

Amilia's brows furrowed a little, but beyond that, she just… stared.

"Hmm?" Knox mused. "Is there something else you wish to say?"

Amilia nodded, pointing toward the ghost that was struggling in vain. "What would you like to be done about this one? Should I kill it or leave it alive?"

What the hell did she mean by that? She was the one who captured it; she could do whatever she wanted with it!

Wait…

'I can benefit from this. Heh.'

"Well, since it was on my family's territory—and seeing how I'm the rightful heir to the Count Title—I think it'd be appropriate if I were to dispose of this villain myself," Knox said with an air of righteousness. "This is my duty as a Young Master of the Falazars! A young, beautiful lass like yourself shouldn't dirty your hands with such a crude matter."

All he received in response from the Guard Captain was a slight nod and a movement of her hands as she pulled the ghostly old man toward them.

'Damn, still nothing? Was this woman a stone wall or something??' Knox thought, disgruntled. 'Usually, older women adored being complimented in such a subtly flirtatious way. It made them feel young again—like they were the hottest stuff on the block.'

So then why was this stone-faced woman so unresponsive to all of his remarks!?

Had he lost his touch!?

No, there was no way that was possible! When it came to manipulating people, Knox was unrivaled between Heaven and Earth!

If he just tried a bit harder, he was sure he could get this sexy lass to drop him a few more Attribute Orbs. Perhaps even some of the Charisma variety!

At roughly the same time the ghostly old man was pulled over to him to be executed, Knox partially diverted his attention to the System Notifications he hadn't read earlier.

*Ding!*

[Strength increased by 780 points!] 

[Agility increased by 690 points!] 

[Mind increased by 250 points!] 

[Endurance increased by 620 points!] 

[Perception increased by 530 points!] 

[Energy increased by 1,200 points!] 

[Intelligence increased by 310 points!] 

[Affinity increased by 130 points!]

'All this just from getting this hot chick a little worked up?? Holy sh*t…!' Knox bubbled up in happiness. 'Can she become my Attribute Orb Sugar Mommy? Because I'm about to milk her for all she has!'

Observing his stats and seeing that several of them were above 1,000 put him in a good mood. He was so pleased that he absentmindedly slashed out at the now corporeal ghost. Thanks to that and Amilia's help in erasing its defenses, he was able to kill it in a single strike with just his hand.

The ghost let out one last aggrieved shriek before being whisked away to wherever wandering ghosts went after dying. Though, far more interesting than that were the colorful pillars of light that erupted from where it had perished.

DING! DING! DING!

[You have slain an Early Foundation Establishment Realm Wandering Ghost!]

[A small pile of Attribute Orbs has dropped!]

[Energy +150] 

[Strength +230] 

[Agility +313] 

[Affinity +60]

x16 more…

After assimilating all of the dropped Attribute Orbs, Knox felt his power skyrocket once more. Just referencing his Energy stat, he was now the equivalent of a 4th Stage Qi Condensation Realm Expert!

And this was without even starting his cultivation journey!

Just imagining how overpowered he'd become if he were to actually begin cultivating was enough to send waves of ecstasy coursing throughout his body.
