NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 6: Adding Ability Points
Meanwhile, at the Wang Corporation, Wang Haoran was happily listening to the system prompts.
[Ding, the female lead Liu Yunshuang has completely broken off with Lin Ming, male lead Lin Ming's Protagonist Halo -100! Host gains 100 Fate Points! 10 Ability Points!]
"System, show me my status!"

Ability Points: 20
Martial Strength: 70
Physique: 90
Mental Strength: 200

Looking at it, Wang Haoran decided to allocate some points to his attributes.
"System, add 10 points each to my 'Physique' and 'Charm'!"
[Ding! Points successfully added!]
As for the Fate Points, Wang Haoran decided to save them for now.
He wanted to buy "X-ray Vision lv1" from the Fate Shop, but unfortunately, the skill cost 800 Fate Points, so he could only drool over it.
The cheaper skills were just some life talents like cooking, singing, dancing, and rapping, which Wang Haoran wasn't considering at the moment.
As for the Fate Lottery, only a ten-time draw guaranteed a reward, and a ten-time draw required 300 Fate Points. Wang Haoran decided to extract another 100 Fate Points from Lin Ming.
"According to the plot, it's the stone gambling arc again…"
After all, it's about the X-ray vision, and this stone gambling event will make Lin Ming gain the favor of a big boss.
During the summer break, Lin Ming will be invited by this boss to accompany him to a border town to look at stones, and it is through this that Lin Ming will get involved with another female lead, Yun Linger.
Personal combat strength also starts to become extremely important from this point.
Before this, Lin Ming had been fighting with thugs, using X-ray vision to make money, and using it to humiliate the top students who looked down on him in class.
That's why Wang Haoran didn't prioritize increasing his Martial Strength.
Well, actually, it was just an obsessive-compulsive disorder, feeling that two 90s turning into 100 looked very neat.
To deal with Lin Ming, besides reorganizing the Wang Corporation, Wang Haoran also sent out three groups of people to take action.
The first group was investigating Lin Ming's master in S City and its surroundings, but to no avail. According to the plot, the old man would only reappear after Lin Ming finished his exams.
The second group was monitoring Lin Ming's big brother Hu Ye (who, of course, would later become Lin Ming's little brother, Little Hu), collecting evidence of his crimes.
The third group was keeping an eye on Lin Ming, reporting his every move.
Since Lin Ming was a student, he only occasionally used scratch cards to make money, so Wang Haoran told them not to worry about it.
Too bad, if Lin Ming had the guts to go to an underground casino, Wang Haoran could have his men act as concerned citizens.
As for the upcoming stone gambling arc, it was Lin Ming's most crucial opportunity in the early stages, allowing him to earn millions and thus escape poverty.
So, Wang Haoran decided to personally make a move.
But reading this part of the plot made Wang Haoran extremely speechless—after earning millions, Lin Ming's parents continued to work and still squeezed into an old house.
Only after experiencing trials like being threatened by Lin Ming's enemies, kidnapped, having their legs broken, and ending up in the ICU, did the parents finally enjoy a good life, moving into a new house and praising their successful son.
And Lin Ming, hearing his parents' praise, still showed a proud look.
Unbelievable.
As Wang Haoran was making plans.
***
At school.
Liu Yunshuang had returned to the office, but her anger had not subsided.
She always thought it was Wang Haoran's possessiveness and pettiness that made him constantly trouble Lin Ming. Because of this, she took extra care of Lin Ming, hoping he would do well in his exams.
But she never expected that all of this was Lin Ming's premeditation.
Liu Yunshuang felt like her sincere feelings were fed to a dog.
Especially the staged hero-saving-beauty scenarios planned by Lin Ming, which made her extremely disgusted.
She never imagined that a mere student could be so scheming.
Recalling her parents' scolding yesterday, Liu Yunshuang felt ashamed for the first time.
Lin Ming had often lamented in front of her about "how could there still be arranged marriages in the new era," "we should pursue free love and our own happiness," and the like.
Although these words didn't make Liu Yunshuang want to break off the engagement, she did listen and found his pure longing for true love adorable, thus taking even better care of Lin Ming.
Now that she thought about it, Lin Ming didn't think arranged marriages were bad; he just thought it was bad that Liu Yunshuang's arranged partner wasn't him!
Lin Ming's heart wasn't pure; it was completely blackened!
Wang Haoran must have seen through Lin Ming's ill intentions, which was why he repeatedly troubled Lin Ming, right?
Liu Yunshuang believed this must be the case! Otherwise, why would Wang Haoran only trouble Lin Ming and not other men? For example, in the office, Wang Haoran was always polite and courteous to the male colleagues.
Liu Yunshuang could never have imagined that Wang Haoran was a villain, inherently at odds with the protagonist, and with her parents' nagging, she finally "understood everything."
It turned out she had been misunderstanding Wang Haoran all along!
Thinking about this, Liu Yunshuang decided to call and apologize.
But when she picked up her phone, she couldn't help but think of Wang Haoran's resolute demeanor when breaking off the engagement, making her hesitate.
She always believed that she and Lin Ming were innocent, but from Wang Haoran's perspective, his fiancée was always with a scheming guy who fancied her and even scolded her fiancé to defend the schemer.
To Wang Haoran, and to other onlookers, did it really matter if it was innocent? After such events, Wang Haoran's dignity had already been trampled into dust.
No wonder her parents were so angry.
"But it's not my fault… Lin Ming is just so detestable…"
"Wang Haoran is also… if he had told me earlier, it would've been fine…"
Thinking this, Liu Yunshuang, wanting to give her parents an explanation, decided to find Wang Haoran and apologize face-to-face.
However, she had classes during the day, and with students preparing for exams, she couldn't delay. So, she sent a message inviting Wang Haoran to dinner that evening to apologize.
Meanwhile, Liu Yunshuang was aware that Xia Xinyan also had a good impression of Lin Ming.
Back then, both Liu Yunshuang and Xia Xinyan found Lin Ming's heroics amusing and thought he had a strong sense of justice.
Looking back now, they were probably two fools being sold and still happily exclaiming, "What a good deal!"
Liu Yunshuang decided to reveal Lin Ming's true colors in front of Xia Xinyan!
