Chapter 5: The Beauty Compendium
826 Words
"The host successfully acquired an upper-level maid, earning 5 points in various attributes."
As the system's voice sounded, Lu Ming felt his body change again.
Both muscle density and explosiveness were significantly improved!
Though not as drastic as when he took the Genetic Enhancement Serum, the improvement was noticeable.
"System, open my attribute panel."
"Ding! Hello, host. The data panel has been opened for you."

Main Quest Completion Rate: Invincible in the Universe: 0%, Beauty Compendium: 5%, Winning Hearts and Minds: 0%.
"All attribute points have increased by five, and my comprehensive strength rating has also increased by five points. My rating has gone from E to E+."
"And because I acquired an upper-level maid, the completion rate of the Beauty Compendium has reached five percent..."
Lu Ming pondered for a moment, roughly understanding the connections.
"It seems that acquiring a maid adds five points of progress, while concubines and empresses should add more."
"However, a single maid's boost is still insufficient. I need to recruit more maids before the apocalypse to be more secure."
As Lin Jiayu pledged her allegiance, a mark appeared on her forehead.
The mark glowed for a moment and then disappeared into her forehead.
"Ding! The maid has been imprinted with the Servant Mark on her forehead and will never betray the host."
Lu Ming's eyes sharpened, "Just as I thought, once a beauty pledges allegiance, the contract is formed. No wonder Lin Jiayu's attitude towards me changed so quickly."
"It seems the Beauty Compendium's function ensures that no matter her previous attitude towards me, once she is recruited, the Servant Mark makes her completely loyal."
With this in mind, Lu Ming decided to test further.
Lu Ming asked calmly, "Why don't you like men?"
Lin Jiayu softly replied, "Because I think men are dirty! They're disgusting..."
Lu Ming's eyes showed a hint of amusement. Lin Jiayu had androphobia, no wonder she was still a virgin at 28.
"So, do you like women then?"
"I don't like women either..." Lin Jiayu said softly, "I only like two-dimensional girls..."
Lu Ming was slightly stunned, Lin Jiayu was a two-dimensional otaku...
Thinking of this, he coldly said, "You are a university teacher. Do your students know how perverse you are?"
"The students don't know..." Lin Jiayu said shyly, "Except for classes, I don't interact with them..."
Lu Ming calmly said, "You say you hate men, thinking they're dirty! But I'm a man too, are you insulting me?!"
Lin Jiayu softly said, "No! Master, you're different from them. I'm willing to give everything to you, always following you."
Lu Ming stared at Lin Jiayu and issued a command to the system in his mind.
"System, show Lin Jiayu's current data."
"Ding! The data panel of maid Lin Jiayu has been opened for the host to view."

Lu Ming nodded, feeling that Lin Jiayu was now handled adequately.
......
Back in his room, Lu Ming began to think about his next steps.
"A maid significantly boosts my strength! I need to recruit as many maids as possible..."
"In theory, it's easier to recruit maids in an apocalyptic environment! After all, in my previous life, I saw messages in the group where women would do anything for a bottle of water or a bowl of instant noodles."
"But there's still the ticking time bomb that is Chen Yu. When the apocalypse arrives, there might be unexpected changes! It's safer to increase my strength as much as possible before the apocalypse..."
"However, before the apocalypse, I must use legal means to achieve my goals. Otherwise, any conflicts could seriously affect my post-apocalypse plans..."
"From my memory, the only top beauty I know is Lin Jiayu... It's time to go out and try my luck."
"With ten billion in hand, I should also build a safe house to withstand the extreme cold."
"However, without the infinite space superpower, I can't stockpile too much food..."
"But that's not a big deal; ultimately, I must kill Chen Yu and plunder his superpower. This lunatic will start a m******e in the community half a month after the apocalypse!"
"So, I just need to prepare enough food for a little over half a month!"
Looking at the time, Lu Ming saw it was already evening.
"Let's rest well today and start working on the safe house and food stockpile tomorrow."
