My CEO Harem Cultivation System

Chapter 68 - The Pride Of A Panda



It shouldn\'t turn out this way—the \'Panda\' had its pride and honor. But the creature also turned out bored right now, and the idea of going out was tempting. Similar to last time when it stayed back at the home of Li Yang, it wanted to have freedom and to just lay back to eat bamboo. It was actually a pretty crunchy snack now that it tasted it. But yes, it couldn\'t leave so easily, and when it did so, it risked some things.

But everything good in life came with a price.

The Panda crossed its arm and pointed a paw down at the man. It floated above the man to maintain their higher standing, "You only get to choose one thing from me and I\'ll be back after your work—so you better actually have something for me to observe when I get back!" It couldn\'t care less about this man\'s activities, but the others did and it was the victim here.

The CEO in front of the creature frowned and rubbed his chin. He was possibly contemplating on what to ask as a favor. "Will you check on Luo Ju Di and the child… Chunhua?"

"Huh.." 

The creature blinked and frowned at him. What about crossing enemy territory and all of that fanciful thing that he just said? Its look was enough to elicit a response from the mortal.

"I would like to see if there is any sort of indicator that the woman was being honest—I still need to wait for Liang to come around to collect his sample too… I don\'t trust her words, simply put. Or I don\'t trust my brother that he wouldn\'t fool around."

There seemed to be some uncomfortable look on the man\'s face. Was the man worried about the testing or his brother? Well, it didn\'t bother the creature and so the Panda waved a paw at him, "You got me here willing to look at anyone you damn want and yet all you want me to do is check on that woman, geez. Seems like a waste of my time."

"So you will not do it?"

A grown man was not allowed to have puppy dog eyes, and yet the slight look of disappointment made the creature click its tongue. "I am. I was just saying that I could have done something else like the shop or the Shen Society, heck, I could even look for your brother." The Panda grumbled and then turned around. It didn\'t want the man to get any ideas. "I\'m going."

Screw appearances. If the situation was turned around, the man would lap at it like a dog if he was any wiser.

"Do you not need the address of the hotel where they\'re staying at?" Li Yang asked.

The Panda scoffed and glanced back. "Psh. I can track something like this easy peasy—you underestimate the things that I can do."

Li Yang gazed back at it with a thoughtful expression and nodded, "Thank you."

Somehow this man had gone from uncaring, sarcastic to miserable and then tolerable. Well, men were said to have multiple faces. What mattered was taking advantage of the things that the creature could get, and so it gave one last sneer. "Hmp, this is a favor. You\'ll pay for this in the future—you\'ll see!"

Li Yang watched the creature shot out towards the window with no trouble and reappeared on the other side. It was there and then that it zipped through the air and then disappeared out of sight.

He sighed in relief.

This would give him some free time—and he could almost think that the young girl would be ecstatic enough to see the Panda suddenly. The girl had proven itself capable enough in distracting the Panda as well, and he hoped that it would occur this time around as well.

A sudden ding sounded in the room, and it was a bit different from usual with a more festive tone to it. He checked the notification and came across a new one once again:

[ Achievement Unlocked ]

[ You Are The Boss - I ]

Subdue a Being that is immensely more powerful than you

[ You Have Received 5000 Charm Points ]

Li Yang blinked and stared at the sizeable amount for a moment and then focused on what this notification was classified for, and it was for one\'s \'Achievements\'... All it took was one prompt for the System to divulge into its interpretation.

[ Achievements ]

In addition to the Main Quests and Side Quests, there are certain Achievements that Host can achieve by fulfilling certain criteria. Host will earn Charm Points and other benefits.

He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed, unsure of whether he should be glad or feel otherwise. He didn\'t get much of a chance to fully understand all the features of the System, and now he just finished one.

The amount of Charm Points was half to that of the first Main Quest and bigger than all the ones he received from interacting with women. It was even larger than what he earned from the Observers tipping him. Li Yang tapped his finger on his desk for a moment in silent contemplation.

If the Achievements were able to give him more points than talking… wouldn\'t it be just better to do them? The man would check the Achievements page.

And it did have one—which thankfully meant that the System didn\'t hide it. However, a certain portion was faded out in gray, shaded that he couldn\'t read them except for the front page, and there were at least fifty pages or more that he could scroll down from.

"Why is there…?" Li Yang narrowed his eyes at the sheer amount of them. And yet it made sense that there would be a lot of them. "The maximum lifespan of an ordinary human is up to one-hundred twenty years of age, but if I were to succeed and break through cultivation, gain a core and even then ascend past such a stage then I would live long."

Cultivation was a path to immortality.

Many distinguished men of old had searched for a way to achieve immortality, be it with his own people\'s cultivators, those of other nations that once traveled the world in search of the fountain of youth, trying to create the philosopher\'s stone.

They all desired it.

Li Yang could only think of a lifetime of servitude.

Sisyphus.

Condemned to roll a heavy rock up a hill in Tartarus to only have it roll back down at the last minute for eternity. Suffering. Torture. Unending pain.

He took a deep breath for a moment and shook his head—he understood the need to think long term and strategize. Li Yang glanced at the documents provided to him by all the people at the heads of each department: finance, legal, marketing and others… he was still the one they approached and expected to tackle the vision of their company.

But when he tried to think long term in this Heavens\' Entertainment in the off chance that he would still be tied to them by then—it was nightmarish.

However, he had no plans for getting tied down like that. Far from it. The man already decided to find a way out of this mess, but for now, Li Yang searched for a new Achievement to unlock.
