As long as he provokes strong emotions in onlookers, whether laughter, anger, or admiration, he can collect "emotion value"!
[Ding! Jia Zhangshi's greed value detected: +500! Qin Huairu's jealousy value: +300! Silly Zhu's anger value: +100! Congratulations, Host: "Courtyard Residents' Emotion Values Doubled"!]
Trade in skills and plan every step carefully, using schemes to turn his life around!
[Silver-Tongued Mastery Max]: Single-target taunts evolve into group-wide verbal AOE. After hearing him out, the "beasts" all have a collective epiphany about life! They beg him through tears to let them off!
[Rapid Breeding Pro]: Raise chickens in the backyard, and the hens outshine phoenixes! Expand into an eco-farm, while everyone else gnaws on steamed buns, he feasts on meat!
[Policy Sense SSS]: Spot housing allocation rules with pinpoint accuracy! Housing allocation rules? Permission for side businesses? Policies for self-employed workers?
He verbally tore into the parasitic Qin Huairu, but also helped her see reality and learn to stand on her own.
