Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 1216 - 760: Above Ten Thousand People, Fang Nianhan’s Choice
Chapter 1216 -760: Above Ten Thousand People, Fang Nianhan’s Choice
“System accessory Heart Jade is activating… Activation complete.”
After the system notification echoed in his mind, Chu Mo suddenly felt a surge of warmth from his hand, or more precisely, from the Heart Jade in his hand. The warmth spread throughout his body in an instant, leaving Chu Mo with a cozy sensation all over.
The time had now entered early January, and the temperature in Capital City at night had already dropped below zero. Furthermore, they were at the top layer of the Sky Garden, which, although lush with vegetation and colorful with flowers, was not warm. Like Fang Nianhan opposite, who wore a shoulder-revealing long dress for aesthetics, her fair arms were exposed, making her delicate facial features turn red with cold.
Chu Mo was dressed in casual clothes. All of his attire was top-grade custom-made, with the finest workmanship and materials, so although he was lightly dressed, he didn’t feel cold. Nevertheless, when the Heart Jade transmitted its magical energy, he still felt a warm and cozy sensation.
To ordinary people, the Heart Jade’s effects were actually pretty mundane. The idea of warmth in winter and coolness in summer was tempting, but for those top-tier tycoons who drive luxury cars and have air conditioning indoors, the Heart Jade’s uses were indeed superfluous. However, for ladies concerned with ambiguity, such as Fang Nianhan who stood before him, having this Heart Jade would allow them to dress as they please in any cold weather without worry.
To an average person, one could only discern someone else’s mood changes by the color changes in the Heart Jade, but this was too obvious, and it was only capable of judging emotions fluctuation, which was not very useful. More often than not, people’s emotions are exhibited on their faces, and even though some can control their emotions well enough not to betray them, slight observations could still capture changes in one’s mentality.
For ordinary people, if those were the only two functions, the Heart Jade would indeed be unremarkable, certainly not worth the astronomical price of 1.1 billion.
However, in Chu Mo’s hands, when the system activated all the functions of the Heart Jade, everything changed.
In its current state, the Heart Jade not only offered thermal comfort but could also penetrate other people’s thoughts. If sensing emotions was just a trivial feature, then being able to read someone’s inner thoughts was undeniably a heaven-defying effect.

Besides, the Heart Jade could also provide protection three times. Should the owner encounter danger, the Heart Jade would automatically create a defensive barrier impenetrable even by bullets.
The protective barrier would last for one minute, enough time for the Heart Jade’s owner to take measures for self-preservation.
Naturally, for Chu Mo, the entire barrier was practically useless.
A guard barrier that can stop bullets was roughly equivalent to the full-force strike of a Half-step Grandmaster. If a Great Grandmaster were to strike, the entire guard barrier would collapse instantly.
To Chu Mo, who possessed system skills for protection, including a one-minute invincibility skill, he would be invincible in this world; not even a Celestial God-level master could threaten him. Therefore, apart from the ability to perceive others’ intentions, the Heart Jade had no other use to Chu Mo.
A sense of curiosity flashed through his heart, and then he suddenly turned his gaze to the person across, Tianye.
Chu Mo wanted to see why Tianye, a Half-step Celestial God and a figure of legend, insisted on staying by his side and what he truly thought inside.
However, as Chu Mo’s gaze shifted, and when he pointed his Heart Jade towards Tianye in front of him, the Heart Jade showed no signs of activity. Just as Chu Mo was puzzled, a warning from the system suddenly echoed in his mind.
“Host’s observation target has an excessively strong energy; the Heart Jade cannot penetrate the Divine Sense barrier.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo couldn’t help but feel a trace of disappointment. It seemed that the Heart Jade could not read the hearts of everyone; against people with great strength, it couldn’t even penetrate their Divine Sense protection.
After shaking his head slightly, Chu Mo then turned his attention back to Lei Ting beside him.
Ever since the previous incident at the Shaolin Temple, after taking a Heavenly Spirit Pill, Lei Ting’s strength had skyrocketed, now reaching the early peak stage of a Great Grandmaster, ready to break through to a mid-level Great Grandmaster at any moment.
However, for some reason, although Lei Ting’s Innate True Qi was sufficient, even far exceeding the level of an average early peak-stage Great Grandmaster, he had yet to make a breakthrough. It seemed that relying solely on the Heavenly Spirit Pill, which could only help him enhance his inner strength, was not enough; he still needed an opportunity, a chance to elevate his spiritual realm.
When Chu Mo focused his Heart Jade on Lei Ting, there remained no response, while a reminder from the system echoed in his mind once more.
It appeared that even for a Grandmaster like Lei Ting, the Heart Jade couldn’t penetrate his Divine Sense.
Settling for second best, Chu Mo then turned his attention to Wu Kunpeng, who had just advanced to a Great Grandmaster, yet the Heart Jade remained unresponsive.
Finally, with a slight sigh, Chu Mo could only turn his attention to Jia Tianze.
As one of the three agents of Capital City and the most trusted confidant of Dong Xun’er, this middle-aged man possessed shrewd means, knowledge, and connections, yet, he was indeed an ordinary person. Just when Chu Mo thought this attempt would definitely succeed, the system issued another warning!
