Chapter 72: What Beauty Do You Possess?

"Prayer"

Level: 1 (0/10000)

Effect: In probabilistic events, activating this BGM can shift the probability by 2% according to the host's will.

Clark never expected that a casual Q&A with Hope would awaken a new BGM for him, especially one with such a powerful attribute!

Being able to influence probabilities to a certain extent means that when Thanos snaps his fingers, this could also increase his chances of survival.

Pah! Pah! Pah! Why think about increasing survival chances?

No, the question is, why wait for him to snap his fingers? Isn't it better to stop him or kill him before he does? Seeing over thirty million points in his account balance, Clark unhesitatingly upgraded this BGM to level four. Its attributes then became...

"Prayer"

Level: 5 (0/1 billion) Effect: In probabilistic events, activating this BGM can shift the probability by 10% according to the host's will.

A 10% increase in success rate, who needs a watch then? ...

Despite the newly awakened BGM giving Clark a boost of confidence, he still couldn't guarantee that the experiment would be free from accidents.

Therefore, he used the next seven days to make further preparations.

First, he translated a book he had confiscated from a gambler into English using translation software and threw it into the Avengers Alliance group chat.

After translation, it was confirmed to be a secret manual on the cultivation and use of Qi, titled "The Source of Qi."

Since the battle was won with the efforts of everyone in the Avengers Alliance, Clark naturally couldn't keep the benefits to himself.

After handling this, Clark locked himself in his room and busied himself for three days. Only on the morning of the fourth day did he hand a notebook to Hope, solemnly saying, "Don't open this notebook just yet. If the experiment goes wrong..."

Seeing Hope's solemn expression, he found it hard to continue.

With a slight smile, Clark patted Hope's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I've run through the calculations multiple times. There's absolutely no problem with the data. I'm just preparing for the unexpected."

Hope van Dyne received +999 impression points!

Mindy McCready received +999 impression points!

Glancing at Mindy's room, Clark knew she was eavesdropping behind the door but didn't call her out. Instead, he turned and walked outside.

Nalan Martial Arts School.

With Grandmaster Nalan Long and his children moving back to their home country, the school's sign had been taken down, leaving Nalan Bai alone in the large house, feeling quite lonely.

Normally, even Nalan Bai wouldn't stay at the martial arts school but would board at school.

Now, during the winter break, she had nowhere else to go but the martial arts school.

Carrying a big bag of frozen food back home and looking at the empty surroundings, Nalan Bai couldn't help feeling a wave of loneliness.

When her family was around, she would always complain about the noise, which disturbed her reading, listening to music, and playing games. Now that she finally had the quiet she wanted, Nalan Bai found herself missing the lively atmosphere of her family.

People can be so contradictory at times.

Walking slowly up the stairs, each step echoed clearly in the empty house, lingering for a long time before fading away.

Although it was daytime, she always felt a bit scared when walking up these stairs.

Empty houses tend to give off such a creepy vibe.

Upon reaching the upstairs, Nalan Bai couldn't help but glance at the living room. Memories from several months ago surfaced in her mind.

Her father, Nalan Long, would always brew a pot of tea after dinner and sit in the middle chair, sipping it alone.

And her elder brother, Nalan Qing, would sit on the sofa nearby, listening to the old man's ramblings.

Wait a minute!

When Nalan Bai's gaze unintentionally moved from the chair to the sofa, she suddenly noticed a figure sitting in the shadows, exactly where her brother Nalan Qing used to sit!

Received +7 impression points from Nalan Bai!

"Ah!"

A piercing scream echoed as the plastic bag Nalan Bai was carrying fell to the ground. She then skillfully pulled out a gun and aimed it at the shadow in front of her.

Feeling the faint murderous intent emanating from Nalan Bai, the shadow quickly raised both hands and said, "Miss Bai, please don't misunderstand, I'm not a good person!"

I knew you weren't a good person! Wait a minute!

That voice sounds familiar.

Gathering her courage to take a closer look, Nalan Bai finally relaxed.

The person sitting in her brother's spot, if not Clark, then who?

Received +8 impression points from Nalan Bai!

Clark stood up with an awkward smile, somewhat embarrassedly saying, "I didn't mean to scare you, I'm truly sorry. Please put down the gun, I have something to tell you."

By then, the murderous intent on Nalan Bai had dissipated, but the gun remained aimed at Clark's head as she coldly said, "Save it, I've seen enough of these tricks in martial arts novels. You've already obtained our Nalan family's inheritance, who knows if you're harboring ulterior motives, coming here now, perhaps coveting my beauty..."

Seeing her go on and on, Clark was taken aback and reflexively asked, "What beauty do you have?"

"Calm down, you must stay calm, don't shoot, impulsiveness is the devil. You have beauty, definitely! Is that better now..."

In fact, Nalan Bai had never doubted Clark's intentions.

She was just upset that although he had promised her father to look after her, two months had passed without a single sighting of him.

And now that he finally showed up, he was hiding in the room, scaring her for fun! This was unbearable, even an uncle could bear it, but an aunt could not!

After much persuasion, Clark managed to calm the young girl down and she put away the gun, which had never been loaded from the start.

In truth, I've been in trouble during this time, and not just any trouble, but big trouble. So big that I dared not come to see you, or else you would inevitably be dragged into this mess.

Nalan Bai scoffed at him, "Did you offend the president?"

Clark shook his head gently, explaining, "No, but there's a whole bunch of senators forming a group wanting to cause me trouble."

Waving his hand to stop her from asking further, Clark took out a prepared briefcase and placed it on the table in front of him, "I recently founded a film company called Nirvana Film Industry and even recruited a special effects team. I've also written the script for our first movie."

With a bitter smile, Clark continued, "Unfortunately, now that everything is ready, I've run into big trouble and must lay low for a while."

"External troubles shouldn't be a reason for the company to stop operating." Clark looked at Nalan Bai earnestly, "Bai, I'm officially hiring you as the acting CEO of Nirvana Film Industry. Until I return, please help me manage this company."

Received +9 impression points from Nalan Bai!
