After finishing the three pre-arranged Christmas movies, Josh and Mike walked out of the AMC theater looking emotionally traumatized.
For the first time in their lives, they discovered something new:
Watching movies could be painful.Even suffocating.
From now on, they swore—no more movie marathons with Jason Carter.
Jason, however, was in a great mood.
Three movies.Three gorgeous women.Three completely different personalities…
Of course he enjoyed it.
He was practically experiencing three different universes of romance back-to-back.
Unfortunately, the favorability values of Holly, Megan, and Mia didn't increase at all. Not even a single point.
Raising favorability above 90 without a special trigger was far more troublesome than he expected.
But Task Five still had four months left before the deadline. Plenty of time.
Jason decided not to stress and simply enjoy his life.
Since Mia was the last girl he met that day, Jason continued his date with her.
They went to a dinner, strolled through the Christmas Market under golden lights, and later went skiing in the Crystal Ridge Mountains.
Somewhere between the snow, the laughter, and the adrenaline—Mia's favorability increased by 1 point.
A small gain, but enough to make Jason genuinely happy.
When they left the ski resort, Mia's cheeks were flushed from the cold and exercise. She wrapped her arms around Jason's neck, her voice soft and trembling with emotion.
"Jason… forgive me for saying this," she whispered, "but my life's been filled with anxiety since middle school. Even after becoming a famous streamer, that pressure never went away. Until today… I haven't had this much fun in almost ten years."
Jason smiled gently.
"Then stick with me. Let's make up for all those years you lost. Enjoy everything properly."
Mia nodded, standing on her toes, offering him her trembling red lips.
Though usually shy and reserved, she kissed him like a woman finally letting her heart breathe.
Jason, naturally, didn't hold back.
Their kiss deepened, lips becoming not enough, tongues intertwining. Snowflakes drifted around them like a backdrop from a romance film.
By the time they parted, Mia's legs were almost jelly. She leaned against him, giving a seductive glance.
"… let's go back."
Jason smiled, held her close, and led her to the parking lot.
They drove straight back to Carter Hills, Villa No. 6.
After that, Jason completely embraced a carefree, indulgent lifestyle.
One day was Mia.
The next day was Megan.
The day after that was Holly.
Holly already had a Mercedes G-Class.So Jason bought luxury cars for the other two as well:
For Mia: a red Ferrari SF90, worth over $800,000.
For Megan: a pink Lamborghini Murciélago, customized, worth over $600,000.
They were perfect fits for their personalities.
And occasionally, when he felt like it, Jason would swing by the upscale Lanting Estates to visit Grace, Olivia, or Agela. After Agela officially became his lover, he even arranged a penthouse for her there.
As for the other women… he avoided them intentionally to prevent their favorability from rising too fast. And honestly, he didn't have the time anyway.
Shenna's favorability dropped slightly:
47 → 45 → back to 47
A mild dip.
Ava Summers and Tanya Covell were already out of town, so their favorability stayed unchanged.
Emma had apparently studied a bunch of romantic tricks from somewhere, but Jason didn't feel anything. He avoided her whenever possible.
Meanwhile, Quinn sent him a "Poke" on Messenger. When Jason opened her chat, he found she had already recalled several messages, leaving only one:
"Sorry, I accidentally poked you. You didn't see the previous messages… right?"
Jason replied without hesitation:
"Didn't see them."
Even if he had seen them, he would've pretended he didn't.
He wasn't interested enough to guess what she had sent.
As for the campus-wide "Jason Carter the Scumbag Playboy" controversy…
It turned out far less dramatic than expected.
It caused a stir for a few days, mostly among jealous male students, but the Student Government and school administration quietly suppressed it.
Jason wasn't violating any laws.
He wasn't a public official.
He wasn't committing any crimes.
He was simply dating multiple women—something the school had no authority to interfere with.
Just like that…
The entire scandal faded like dust in the wind.
While the "Jason Carter Scumbag Holiday Special" spread across campus, something unexpected happened over at New Vision Media.
The news didn't cause trouble there—
It created a shockwave of envy.
Grace, Olivia, and Agela usually worked from home and didn't show up at the company much, except for important meetings.
But whenever they did come in…
They arrived driving the luxury cars Jason gifted them.
A Rolls-Royce Phantom.
A limited-edition Bentley.
A Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
When they pulled up into the company lot, the other streamers were stunned.
Phones froze mid-air.Lip gloss dropped on the floor.Envy burned brighter than studio ring lights.
A little investigation revealed the truth:
Jason gifted them all of it.The cars.The penthouses at Lanting Estates.Even Agela's newly signed S-tier contract—everyone could guess who made it happen.
Then even more news surfaced:
Mia's new car was a Ferrari SF90, valued at nearly $900k.
Her new residence was Carter Hills Villa No. 16, worth over $7 million.
Sure, Mia was a top streamer.
But this level of wealth?Luxury villa?Ferrari?
It was obvious she didn't buy any of it.
She skyrocketed because she followed Jason.
Regret From the Ones Who Missed Their Chance
The mid-tier streamers—were devastated.
At the company's annual gala, Jason had shown interest in them.
At the time, they hesitated. Their "sugar daddy" showed up, and they thought:
"Jason already has so many girls. If we follow him, we might not get much.""Better to stick with our existing big brother."
Now?
They watched as Jason casually uplifted women around him to upper-class living overnight.
Penthouses.Supercars.Career boosts.S-tier contracts.
They realized they had made the worst decision of their lives.
What they received from their "big brother"…was nothing compared to what Jason gave others.
Jason wasn't just rich.
His financial power was on a different level. Terrifying.
Their regrets turned into longing.
And regret turned into…
Favorability.
System Notifications Explode
Ding! Favorability +30

Jason blinked.
That was a lot of notifications.
And then—

More notifications followed.
Zou: Favorability +5Alice: Favorability +1
Jason stared at the constant system prompts.
His overall favorability total was skyrocketing, and the number of people above 80 was already surpassing the mission requirements.
"What the…? I didn't even talk to any of you. Why are your points going up? Don't increase anymore!"
But something else caught his attention.
Lia status revealed something new:
Even recovered STDs were recorded.
Meaning the system didn't hide past diseases.
Even if someone was cured, it would show permanently.
Jason raised an eyebrow.
Interesting.Useful.
But he still had zero interest in them.
He remembered seeing them accompany their "big brother" at the annual gala. Even if they were clean, he felt uncomfortable with that history.
So, they remained irrelevant.
Too Much Favorability?!
Jason frowned.
"If this keeps going, favorability values will exceed too far. It all be wasted?"
Before he could think further—
His phone rang.
The call ID flashed:
Jason answered.
