I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

After hearing the whole story, Wang Xiuying was both amused and exasperated. She offered a few words of comfort and then hung up the phone.

She looked at her son, who was laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight, and shook her head, feeling both amused and exasperated.

The house is finally quiet.

After seeing off the last group of villagers who came to offer their congratulations, Jiang Jianjun and Wang Xiuying were so exhausted that they collapsed onto the sofa, but they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.

"Chen'er, today... I owe you so much."

Jiang Jianjun looked at his son, his eyes filled with complex emotions: pride, relief, and a hint of awe that he himself hadn't even noticed.

Jiang Chen waved his hand, walked back to his room, and closed the door.

He leaned against the door and let out a long sigh.

He couldn't wait any longer, so he silently recited the command in his mind and summoned the familiar system interface.

The moment the interface appeared,

The entire system panel no longer had the light blue technological feel of the past, but instead burst forth with a dazzling, radiant, and even somewhat sacred golden light!

That golden light was more intense than any previous critical strike rebate!

It's as if they want to turn the entire room into a pure gold ocean!

【Ding! 】

A clear and melodious notification sound, like the tolling of an ancient temple bell, rang in Jiang Chen's mind.

[Congratulations, host! You have completed the "Clan Reputation Milestone Event"—Building Bridges and Roads to Benefit Your Hometown!]

[System determination: This behavior has transcended the ordinary scope of "family prosperity" and belongs to the category of "meritorious deeds" that accumulate good karma for the family and benefit the local community!]

This action not only earned the host family absolute influence and a century-old reputation in the local area, but also accumulated a huge amount of "merit points"!

The system's announcements carried an unprecedented solemnity.

Jiang Chen's heart began to pound wildly!

Merit!

This is a new term!

[The system has detected that the host has spent two million yuan to complete a "merit" event, triggering the core rules of the system!]

[Settling your account...]

[Trigger the ultimate "Merit Critical Strike"!]

[Rebate multiplier being determined...]

[Judgment complete!]

[Rebate multiplier: 10x!]

ten times!

Jiang Chen's breath hitched!

Although this multiplier may seem low compared to the previous critical hits that were often dozens of times higher.

But this time, the principal is a solid two million!

[Ding! Cashback amount: 20,000,000 yuan!]

[Your funds have been automatically deposited into a secure offshore account at Citibank, exempting you from all taxation and traceability issues. Please check your account regularly!]

Twenty million!

Jiang Chen clenched his fist tightly!

The numbers in the account have once again experienced a terrifying leap!

Including his previous savings, his total assets have firmly surpassed the 50 million mark!

The speed at which they make money is even more outrageous than a money printing machine!

However, this is not the end!

On the golden system interface, light flowed once more.

[System Notification: Because this purchase falls under the extremely rare "merit" category, in addition to the cash rebate, the host will receive a special item reward!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a special item: [Family Luck Aura LV1]!]

Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat!

Aura of good fortune?

What is this?

He quickly clicked on the item's detailed description.

【Name: Family Fortune Aura (Basic)】

[Level: LV1 (can be upgraded by accumulating more merits)]

[Type: Passive Aura Item]

[Coverage Scope: The host himself/herself, and his/her closest blood relatives (currently: father, mother, sister, grandfather, grandmother)]

[Halo Effect:]

[1. Health Protection: Within the aura's coverage area, the probability of all types of diseases is reduced by 50%! Physical functions and mental state receive slight but continuous optimization!]

[2. Accident Avoidance: The probability of all members within the aura's coverage area experiencing accidents (such as car crashes, falls, drowning, etc.) is reduced by 80%!]

[3. Enhanced Fortune: All members within the aura's coverage area will have "slightly" better luck than the average person when engaging in any non-speculative activities (such as work, study, socializing, etc.). (Note: This effect is mysterious and cannot be quantified; please experience it for yourself.)]

After seeing these three results, Jiang Chen was completely dumbfounded!

His mind went blank with a buzz!

An indescribable ecstasy, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly overwhelmed all his reason!

This...this is fucking...

This is absolutely priceless!

Can you buy health with all the money in the world?

No matter how much money you have, can it guarantee your family a lifetime free from illness and disaster, and keep them away from accidents?

No!

But this halo, it can!

The probability of getting sick is reduced by 50%!

The accident rate has been reduced by 80%!

This isn't some kind of halo; it's clearly an unbreakable protective umbrella hanging over the whole family!

That's truly divine skill!

"Wear it! Wear it now!"

Jiang Chen practically roared it out.

[Ding! The Family Luck Aura LV1 has been successfully equipped!]

The moment the equipment was successfully assembled.

Jiang Chen felt an invisible and intangible yet incredibly warm energy spreading from his body, instantly enveloping the entire house.

The world in his eyes seemed to have become a little brighter.

My mind, which had been somewhat groggy from exhaustion, became incredibly clear at that moment.

Even the winter wind blowing in from outside the window, carrying a hint of chill, seemed exceptionally fresh.

Jiang Chen walked out of the room.

In the living room, father Jiang Jianjun and mother Wang Xiuying were still leaning on the sofa, quietly discussing the road repair.

Jiang Chen looked at it carefully.

He noticed that his parents' faces, which had looked tired from a long day, now had a healthy rosy glow.

Especially the father, whose voice seemed much louder than before.

The fine lines at the corners of my mother's eyes seem to have faded a bit.

Is this the power of the aura of destiny?

Subtle and gradual influence, like a gentle rain nourishing the earth!

Jiang Chen's mind was finally at ease.

With this halo, he finally had the confidence to protect his family!
