I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 256 Accompanying Empress Qin to move, which of the two outfits do you prefer?
After reading the detailed explanations of the three options, Gu Yifan...

Without hesitation, I chose the [Nine-Tailed Fox Clan's Charm Manipulation Technique].

The second option can be eliminated immediately.

At first, Gu Yifan was still hesitating between the first and third options.

But after reading the explanation of the third option.

"A divine skill! Absolutely a divine skill!"

"Disguise: You can freely manipulate your own charm, transforming yourself from an ordinary person to the most outstanding figure in the capital!"

"Unique ability of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan: After use, your charm will be doubled for ten minutes, achieving a bewitching effect and eliminating negative emotions from the opposite sex. Cooldown time: three days."

"It is said that the ancestors of the nine-tailed fox clan once used this ability to wreak havoc on the world."

"Few male nine-tailed foxes inherit this ability, and those who possess it are pursued by fairies with fervor. Some fairies even spend billions of source stones just to win a smile from them."

Ignore the strange descriptions of the skills.

Gu Yifan saw through the phenomenon to the essence and immediately thought of a way to use it.

If one day, the conflicts among the 'fairies' around you reach an irreconcilable point, a battleground will be formed.

Could this ability help resolve their conflict?
The first option, which increases attraction to the opposite sex by 25%, looks good, but it's nowhere near as powerful as this skill.

Furthermore, one gradually becomes immune to charm.

For example, you might be amazed by someone's beauty at first sight, but as you get to know them better and they maintain their charm, you gradually get used to them.

People like Meijia and Yifei have almost exempted Gu Yifan from scrutiny because of his face.

But it's different if you can control your charm.

Maintain a slightly above-average level of charm normally, but suddenly increase it when you have a conflict with the fairies or when you need to.

The impact of this is far greater than simply maintaining high charisma.

After choosing the charm control method, Gu Yifan looked at himself in the rearview mirror.

His originally gentle and refined demeanor now carries a slightly imperceptible eerie quality.

Her deep, expressive eyes, which seemed to gaze affectionately at even a dog, became even brighter and more affectionate, without diminishing her original charm. Instead, they became even more captivating, drawing people in without them even realizing it.

Gu Yifan controlled his charm, reducing it slightly. His eerie aura disappeared, leaving him in a position where he was still handsome but not too eye-catching.

"Hmm, that's good."

Gu Yifan nodded in satisfaction, thinking that he would find someone to test the skill's effect later, such as Ms. Hu.

Yifei is different from Wanyu, who is slender but very flexible, and Xinling, who is soft and comfortable to hug.

She possessed a balance of flexibility and strength, and her long, taut, and elastic legs were something Gu Yifan couldn't get enough of.

“Take away Mu Wei’s skills as well.”

Gu Yifan remembered something else: the system called Mu Wei "Mu Fengchun." Could it be that they were the same person?

If that's the case, then coming to the cartoonist exchange meeting today can definitely be considered a complete success.

Gu Yifan didn't have high hopes for the lottery, since even if Mu Wei offered him a comic artist experience, it wouldn't be much of a deal.

[Successful draw! Congratulations on winning: Premium Comic Adaptation]

"Eh!"

After the extraction, Gu Yifan's eyes lit up.

Creating a good work with an engaging beginning doesn't guarantee that the plot will remain engaging, or that the artwork will be excellent.

Many manga, such as Naruto, Detective Conan, and One Person, have this problem.

The problem is that the series wasn't planned to run for a long time in the early stages, which led to later plot contradictions with the earlier settings, or the plot wasn't optimal and had many flaws.

With this ability, Gu Yifan is no longer simply copying his previous life's work; he can adapt the plot.

Making it more reasonable and more attractive might take the comic to the next level.

"The more I look at it, the more I feel like I'm becoming a real cartoonist."

Gu Yifan muttered to himself that he had only intended to use it as a stepping stone at first.

However, these experiences are not only applicable to comics, but also to anime and game storylines.

Full of rewards.

Gu Yifan started the car and went to find the Empress!

The bushes along the roadside are already starting to turn golden; autumn is here, and the plump hairy crabs will be coming soon.

Thinking of this, Gu Yifan felt a little hungry.

When I see Qin Yumo later, should I hint to her that I should invite her to dinner?

Qin Yumo's residence is a high-end hotel-style apartment building.

Inside the duplex suite.

Qin Yumo had her hair tied up, and was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts that were easy to work with, revealing a large expanse of fair, snow-white skin and a voluptuous figure. She was doing the final touches.

Make sure there are no lost items.

She's moving today, but she started packing a few days ago.

Leave any inexpensive furniture or items behind. If you don't want them later, just ask the apartment management to throw them away.

The rest, just Qin Yumo's clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, cosmetics, etc., filled four large cardboard boxes, each one cubic meter in size.

Not to mention there's a lot of miscellaneous stuff.

You don't know until you start tidying up that you actually have so much stuff.

But this did not deter her from moving.

Besides not wanting to be harassed anymore, she was also getting tired of living there.

"Boom!"

There was a knock at the door.

"Who is it? Coming!"

Qin Yumo took off the gloves that protected her delicate hands, walked quickly to the door, and opened it.

She initially thought it was Gu Yifan who had arrived, or an employee of the moving company.

But then he saw a man in a suit and tie standing in front of the door, holding a bouquet of roses.

Qin Yumo's smiling face gradually turned indifferent, and the bright sunshine turned into dark clouds.

"Richard? What brings you here again?"

As she spoke, Qin Yumo frowned, intending to close the door and go back to her room to call the security guard downstairs to handle the situation.

She had already told them not to let Richard in again.
Richard had been relentlessly pursuing her before.

After Qin Yumo saw the man's true face.

She didn't want to have anything to do with him.

Especially that night, when I heard Richard's outburst of abuse after he broke down.

She went from being heartbroken to feeling disgusted.

After regaining her senses, Qin Yumo was very glad that she hadn't agreed to be his girlfriend.

Looking back now, Richard revealed more than just one or two flaws.

I don't know why, but she was so foolish as to fall into the emotional trap that Richard had woven.

"Yu Mo, Yu Mo, listen to me. I was too hasty last time. I want to apologize to you for my inappropriate words and actions."

Seeing this, Richard quickly opened the door and tried to explain with a sincere expression.

With the strength of an adult male, Qin Yumo couldn't close the door no matter what she did.

"I have nothing to say to you."

"Richard, you must have no shortage of women around you, so why are you bothering me?"

Qin Yumo showed no mercy and said coldly.

"Bu Yumo, you're different from others. I've realized I really like you."

"Please give me another chance. I'm willing to get a divorce! Let's start over."

Richard narrated with great emotion, his eyes filled with affection, and his voice magnetic.

With this skill, he won the hearts of countless women.

But Qin Yumo only felt nauseous.

"Let go! Or I'll call the police! I'm moving out anyway, let's see who's more humiliated!"

Upon hearing this, Richard released his grip as if he had been electrocuted.

"Don't call the police, there's no need, Yu Mo."

"You're moving? Where are you moving to?"

"You think I'd tell you? So you bastard can keep harassing me?"

Finally, Richard was starting to lose face; he hadn't expected Ms. Qin to be so stubborn.

"Yu Mo, I'm serious this time. Look at the diamond ring I specially chose for you. It's the largest diamond ever mined in South Africa, called the Star of Africa."

Seeing that his affections were useless, Richard decided to try to win her back with money.

He couldn't believe that any girl could remain unmoved by a diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg!
Sure enough, Qin Yumo looked at the diamond ring Richard had taken out and remained silent for a moment.

Just as Richard thought he had a chance and was about to continue speaking.

“Richard, I’ve discovered you’re really despicable. Wow, what a huge diamond. But do you think this will make me change my mind? What do you take me for?”

"Dream on you!"

Qin Yumo berated him harshly, leaving Richard completely stunned. Then, Miss Qin sneered and gave him the middle finger without hesitation.

"You bastard, get out!"

With her fiery personality, it's no wonder she and Hu Yifei have been friends for many years.

"Hello."

Finally, unable to bear the embarrassment any longer, Richard slammed the bouquet of flowers in his hand onto the ground as a way of venting his anger.

With a dark expression, he turned and left.

He had no face to stay here any longer.

What a coincidence.

Not far away, at the elevator, a ding sounded and the elevator doors slowly opened.

Gu Yifan stepped out of the elevator.

They ran into Richard right in front of them.

Richard wasn't wearing a light blue sweater, and he'd shaved, but Gu Yifan still recognized him at a glance. Hey, what's this guy doing here?

Richard was the same; upon seeing Gu Yifan, he immediately remembered him.

"It's you!"

"Oh, isn't this the big jewelry merchant?"

Gu Yifan didn't expect Richard to be here, but that didn't stop him from retorting with a hint of sarcasm.

Richard's failure to win her back and his subsequent outburst of insults and abuse of Qin Yumo were enough for Gu Yifan to despise him.

If he had chosen to bless Qin Yumo back then, perhaps Gu Yifan would still respect him as a man.

"What are you doing here?"

Richard took a deep breath and barely managed to restrain his impulse, preventing himself from punching Gu Yifan in the face.

He should also be glad he didn't.

Gu Yifan tilted his head, his gaze passing over Richard, and saw the petals scattered all over the corridor behind him, as well as the broken bouquet.

What happened seems to be on the verge of being revealed.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that? What are you doing here?"

Miss Qin also noticed Gu Yifan's arrival. Her heart skipped a beat. Oh no! She quickly walked over.

"Richard, stop causing trouble and get out of here!"

Richard turned around, his eyes red, and questioned Qin Yumo, "So, you really got together with this pretty boy?"

Otherwise, why would this kid be here?
"No, not that," Gu Yifan said quietly.

Richard ignored him, his eyes still red, and questioned Qin Yumo, "What makes him better than me? What can he give you? Are you moving out because of him, because you want to live with him?!"

The sounds grew louder with each one.

The mask of his former refinement and affability has been torn away, revealing the man's true nature.

Logically speaking, Qin Yumo should have ignored Richard.

The safest course of action is to call the police or have the apartment management staff come up and handle the situation to avoid conflict.

But she still couldn't resist the urge.

It seems that Richard's persistence wasn't because he couldn't win her over, but more likely because he couldn't swallow his pride.

She only kept pestering him because she felt he had lost face.

Richard, a proud man, could not accept that he had been defeated by a younger man.

"In what ways is he better than you?"

Qin Yumo looked at Richard's ashen face and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

She must have been blind to have liked this man before.

In contrast.

Gu Yifan, who remained silent and calm, was far better than the aggressive Richard in front of him!

Gu Yifan's appearance truly gave Qin Yumo a sense of security, making her more confident in facing Richard.

"You want to know? Fine, I'll tell you!" Miss Qin said loudly.

He's younger than you, more handsome, more charming, more sincere, and makes you feel safer!

"Besides, who I choose to be with is my business. Who do you think you are to question me like this!"

Gu Yifan: "I'm too weak to speak."

Empress Qin, unleashing her full power, is incredibly fierce!
Gu Yifan was initially worried that Qin Yumo would suffer a loss, but now it seems that he underestimated this 'Empress'.

So Gu Yifan kept quiet and watched the drama unfold.

Richard was stunned, never expecting that Qin Yumo, who was always gentle and quiet, would suddenly lose her temper.

He let Miss Qin walk over.

She poked his chest hard with her slender fingers and said, word by word.

“And you, Richard, are utterly worthless in his presence! Do you understand?”

After saying that, Qin Yumo felt that she had finally let out her pent-up anger.

She just couldn't swallow this insult.

She is obviously the victim.

As a result, Richard actually dared to come and aggressively question her, throwing mud at her.

He suspected she had dumped him and started dating someone else.

Alright, since he insists on thinking this way, Qin Yumo will simply grant Richard's wish and continue the conversation.

No man can tolerate such a line of reasoning; it's like having his dignity rubbed into the ground.

Richard's face turned red with anger, burning with rage.

He looked at Qin Yumo, who had a disdainful look on her face and was looking at him like he was trash.

"Qin Yumo, you've finally admitted it?"

"You asked me to say it yourself," Qin Yumo said fearlessly, head held high. "Are you satisfied now?"

Richard paused for a second.

"Why, you want to hit me?"

Qin Yumo noticed Richard's arm twitch and said disdainfully.

She wasn't afraid at all; in fact, she almost laughed.

"Oh, and one more thing, he can take on eight people at once, I saw it with my own eyes, can you do that?!"

At this moment, Qin Yumo finally vented her anger.

With Gu Yifan around, she wasn't worried about her personal safety at all, and she felt incredibly comfortable.

Richard had intended to slap Qin Yumo, but after hearing what Qin Yumo said, he held back.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, at 1.7 meters tall versus 1.9 meters tall, the other person is young and impetuous, so the advantage doesn't lie with him.

Richard, his face grim, turned and prepared to leave.

result.

Gu Yifan had silently appeared behind Richard at some point. The two looked at each other, and Gu Yifan's face clearly showed some regret.

If Richard dared to hit a woman, he was prepared to kick him to teach him a lesson.

What a pity, you're so good at enduring hardship, like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
"Let's go, don't send it."

After Gu Yifan said this, his second sentence was...

The two sentences were like two knives piercing Richard's eyes.

Gu Yifan's polite smile became so glaring, like the smug smile of a victor.

Richard knew that a loss was a loss, and saying more would only make him seem powerless.

With a livid face, he disappeared in front of the elevator.

Oh right, Gu Yifan even thoughtfully held the elevator button for Richard.

Therefore, Gu Yifan expressed his innocence regarding Richard's resentment towards him.

He's the real deal.

In the corridor, only Gu Yifan and Qin Yumo remained.

Qin Yumo's expression returned to normal. Seeing that Gu Yifan remained silent, she took the initiative to say, "I'm sorry for making you witness such an embarrassing scene. I even used you as a shield."

“That’s fine, I’m happy to be the shield, but didn’t you say Richard has power? Aren’t you afraid of his retaliation?” Gu Yifan asked curiously.

To everyone's surprise, Qin Yumo laughed, "No matter what, this is a society governed by law. I was worried that Richard might send some people to cause you trouble, but..."

However, Qin Yumo had witnessed how capable Gu Yifan was in a fight before, so she figured that even if Richard caused trouble, he would probably just get beaten up, and she wasn't worried at all.

Gu Yifan: "Okay, I thought he was all that powerful."

That's it?

"But just in case he gets desperate and does something rash, we should leave quickly," Qin Yumo said after thinking for a moment.

As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the room, saying, "I'm going to change my clothes first."

After taking two steps, he saw that Gu Yifan hadn't moved.

Miss Qin asked in confusion, "Come here, why are you standing there?"

[You have been entrusted by Lady Wuhou to protect the Empress as she moves her temporary palace. Her prolonged stay in the coastal area seems to have attracted the attention of various factions. Please escort the Empress to a safe location!]

[Complete the mission to unlock the Empress's subsequent storyline and raise the maximum affection level!]

[You have successfully repelled the unknown forces that came to harass the Empress. Empress Qin's favorability has increased by 10, reaching the maximum of 50 and cannot be increased further.]

[You have received the Empress's commendation and are rewarded with: 'Tear of the Stars,' a divine stone treasured in the Eastern Wilderness Empire's treasury. It fell from beyond the Nine Heavens, and there is only one in the world. It is exceptionally beautiful, priceless, and possesses the power to slow down aging when worn!]

"This isn't a ladies' room, so please don't go in," Gu Yifan said to Miss Qin, snapping out of his daze.

Just to watch the fun, and there are free gifts too?
Slowing down aging sounds like a great thing.

As a result, Qin Yumo rolled her eyes at Gu Yifan and said, "Everything is packed up, there's nothing here."

Qin Yumo was in a good mood, and even Richard's appearance did not affect her.

All of this was thanks to Gu Yifan's timely appearance, which gave her complete confidence.

This little man is truly her lucky star.

The thought that she would soon be able to see this young man every day naturally brightened Qin Yumo's mood.

Upon entering the room, Gu Yifan was stunned by the mountain of cardboard boxes piled up in the living room.

"Is all of this your luggage?"

Gu Yifan had a strange expression. He thought Qin Yumo would only have a few suitcases at most, and the trunk and back seats would be enough to fit them all.

There's so much, we'll have to call a truck to haul it away.

"Oh, the moving company can handle these. I only brought a small suitcase and a bag, is that alright?" Qin Yumo said with a smile, seeing Gu Yifan's surprised expression.

She thought to herself that Gu Yifan's expression just now was really interesting.

"That's alright then." Gu Yifan breathed a sigh of relief, which startled him.

"Oh, right." Qin Yumo picked up two sets of clothes she had prepared from the sofa.

"Can you help me pick out an outfit? I'm having trouble deciding which one to wear."

Gu Yifan: "Me? Is that appropriate?"

As he spoke, Gu Yifan's gaze fell upon the two sets of clothes in Qin Yumo's hands.
