Chapter 28 - A Complete Transformation! No Losing Prestige
Chapter 28: A Complete Transformation! No Losing Prestige
“Uncle, are you okay? Did I press too hard?”
A concerned voice came from behind—Xia Qingge.
She had been a little distracted earlier when Xu Hao suddenly stumbled forward, giving her quite a scare.
Xu Hao turned around and smiled.
“No, it’s fine. It’s just that your massage felt so good that I almost fell asleep…”
Xia Qingge’s face flushed slightly.
“If you like it, Uncle, I can come over often to give you massages in the future.”
“Good girl, Qingge. You’re much better than my own daughters. Each one is more rebellious than the last…”
Xu Hao’s praise made Xia Qingge feel warm inside, and she smiled contentedly.
Just as she was about to continue the massage, Xu Hao stopped her.
“Let’s stop here for today. You’ve been massaging me, but you haven’t had a chance to rest yourself.”
“You still need to work this afternoon. Go home and take a rest.”
“Okay, Uncle Xu, I’ll go now…”
Xia Qingge hesitated, unwilling to leave, but knowing it was for her own good, she agreed obediently.
After sending Xia Qingge off, Xu Hao went back to check the results of his latest lottery…
He added the 10 free attribute points.
All of them went into Strength.
His Strength instantly increased to 51.
Wait a minute…
Does this now show the level?
[Strength]: 51 (Early Stage Mingjin)
If he remembered correctly, when he checked Chen Mo’s information earlier, it had shown Late Stage Mingjin.
The gap between him and the protagonist had narrowed once again.
“Keep going…”
Xu Hao didn’t hesitate and used the skill upgrade card on Master-Level Close Combat.
Close Combat instantly leveled up to Grandmaster.
A rush of memories surged in his mind.
With the previous god-level skill infusion, this time the mental sting was much lighter.
If this continues, the subsequent memory infusions wouldn’t hurt anymore…
Lastly, it was the Bone Washing Pill.
With a flick of his wrist, a fragrant pill appeared in his hand.
After taking a deep breath, he felt refreshed.
Its effects indicated that it would purge impurities from his body.
Xu Hao went to a bedroom connected to his office…
This room was specifically for his rest.
He used to not go home often, preferring to rest here.
It couldn’t be helped—seeing his stunning wife at home but being unable to touch her was the worst kind of torture.
After swallowing the Bone Washing Pill, a warm flow surged through his body, flushing through his limbs and bones…
Xu Hao felt as though he were bathed in soft sunlight, the warmth filling his entire body.
Half an hour later—
Xu Hao came out of the bathroom.
His skin was slightly whiter, more toned, and his appearance seemed to have aged backward by ten years.
Although Xu Hao had always looked young for his age, appearing closer to 40 despite being 50,
Now, with a rejuvenation of ten more years, he looked like he was in his prime at 30.
He had truly turned into a handsome man.
If he went out to flirt with girls, any of them would likely fall for him.
Xu Hao felt light and renewed, as though he had undergone a complete transformation.
On top of that, his mind felt clear, and the world around him seemed brighter…
Many vague memories had become clearer.
As expected of the Bone Washing Pill—it truly lived up to its reputation of “rebirth.”
A character panel appeared:
[Character]: Xu Hao
[Identity]: Head of Xu Corporation
[Charm]: 92 (Max 100)
[Strength]: 55 (Early Stage Mingjin)
[Constitution]: 33 (Normal: 10)
[Spirit]: 25 (Normal: 10)
[Skills]: Close Combat (Grandmaster), Painting (Grandmaster), Calligraphy (God-Level)
[Items]: “Twin Lotus Flowers”
[Special]: Personal Space (1 Cubic Meter)
[Emotion Value]: 9527
[Free Attributes]: 0
…
A total overhaul.
Compared to before, the panel looked much more impressive.
After the Bone Washing Pill’s purification, his Charm, Strength, Constitution, and Spirit had all been significantly boosted.
His inventory no longer contained just one item, as many of his belongings had been stored in his personal space…
Displaying them on the panel would only lower his prestige.
5:00 PM—
Xu Corporation’s employees finished their workday.
The financial department’s job was easy, but Xia Qingge still held herself to high standards.
She quickly learned everything about the finance department…
After a busy afternoon, Xia Qingge was ready to head home.
As she stepped out of the corporation, she stopped, her expression darkening.
That annoying guy had shown up again.
Ahead, a Lamborghini sports car was parked, and a young man, looking overly flashy, leaned against it, holding a large bouquet of bright roses.
Seeing Xia Qingge emerge, Liu Fei’s eyes lit up, and he flashed a smile he thought was charming.
He stepped forward with a few confident strides.
“Qingge, I know you like roses, so I ran around all of Magic City’s flower shops today and collected 999 of them just for you.”
“Here, for you. Happy Birthday…”Liu Fei’s tone was gentle, and his gaze toward Xia Qingge was filled with admiration.
“Wow… Am I witnessing a live confession? 999 roses, how romantic is that?”
“Look at the Lamborghini sports car behind him. It’s worth millions. If you were to go for a ride in it, you’d feel like you were flying.”
“Money doesn’t matter. I just think this guy is really handsome, and I’d like to be friends with him…”
“Confessing with a supercar and flowers, how romantic. I wonder what the girl thinks. She must be covering her mouth in surprise, right?”
“If it were me, I’d definitely react that way.”
Liu Fei’s extravagant actions quickly drew the attention of the people around him, sparking lively discussions.
Xia Qingge furrowed her brows, clearly annoyed by the noise.
“Liu Fei, how many times do I have to tell you? It’s not possible between us. Can you stop bothering me?”
After years of being relentlessly pursued by Liu Fei, Xia Qingge was close to losing her patience.
The fact that she was able to speak calmly was already a sign of her restraint.
Liu Fei had long been prepared for her rejection, and his expression didn’t change in the slightest.
He was used to being turned down.
“You don’t like me, and that’s your choice, but you can’t take away my determination to pursue the woman I love.”
“You don’t like me now, maybe I haven’t done enough, but I believe one day, I’ll change your mind.”
Xia Qingge was silent.
