1: A time-traveling villain? I run when a beautiful woman is in danger, and I become numb when an old man collapses!

“The great Professor Wang Jingze discovered a truth.”
“Transmigrating… it’s truly delightful!”
Zhou Yang looked at the opulent room around him, tears streaming down his face.
He had finally managed to kill himself!
More than twenty years ago, he was born in a remote village.
A wandering Daoist once passed by their home and uttered a prophecy.
“This child is a lone star of calamity, destined to bring death to his relatives, and eventually even to himself!”
“Twelve marks completion; after the age of twelve, this child’s power will manifest.”
As a result, the family didn't believe him and directly chased the wandering Daoist away.
However, facts proved that not listening to the old Daoist's words leads to immediate suffering.
At twelve, Zhou Yang’s father went for a stroll in the mountains, but his foot slipped, and he tumbled from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain, leaving only bones.
At thirteen, Zhou Yang’s mother went to the bank to deposit money, only to encounter bank robbers. The robbers took hostages and killed her as a warning to others—she was gone!
Zhou Yang’s Second Uncle and Second Aunt took him in.
At fourteen, Zhou Yang’s Second Uncle was riding his motorcycle home from his night shift in the dead of winter. The bike skidded, throwing him against a railing, breaking his neck on the spot!
At fifteen, Zhou Yang’s Second Aunt was sheltering from the rain under a large tree and was struck dead by a bolt of lightning!
Zhou Yang’s Third Uncle and Third Aunt took him and his cousin Ye Lan in.
The daughter of his Second Uncle and Second Aunt followed her mother's surname, Ye, not Zhou.
Next, his Third Uncle, Third Aunt, and cousin, all died neatly from gas poisoning. Zhou Yang somehow survived.
His Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt were unconvinced.
“I don’t believe my nephew is a lone star of calamity. We’re family, so we’ll take him in!”
His Fourth Aunt ate a pufferfish… and was gone.
After burying his Fourth Aunt, his Fourth Uncle expressionlessly handed Zhou Yang a bank card and a property transfer certificate.
His Fourth Uncle… fled overnight, carrying a train.
Later, Zhou Yang attended his Fourth Uncle’s funeral. He heard that his Fourth Uncle had encountered a meteorite falling on the way… and was blown to smithereens, not even a complete corpse remained.
After bringing death to his entire family, he was all alone, working part-time, collecting trash, applying for scholarships, and writing novels on the side.
In this chaotic manner, he lived to be twenty-two.
On a late, rainy night, Zhou Yang stood on an overpass, roaring at the sky.
“Even if I die, even if I jump from here, even if I transmigrate… I will not accept my fate!”
As a result, he missed a step and fell headfirst.
And just like that, he kicked the bucket!
When he woke up, a mass of memories had appeared in his mind.
This was a world similar to Earth, named Azure Star.
Zhou Yang rubbed his temples.
In life, people pursue two things: wealth and beautiful women!
Wealth?
Excuse me, the Zhou Family, the top family in the Magic City, has assets starting in the trillions!
Beautiful women?
Excuse me, with such a family background, what kind of beautiful woman couldn't he find? Unfortunately, the original Host was a true gentleman and was still a virgin.
The most crucial thing was that the original Host, Zhou Yang, was properly cultivated.
He was proficient in all arts, from zither to calligraphy, spoke ten languages fluently, and was a genius in finance.
So much so that before the original Host even graduated from university, his parents handed over their businesses to him and went off to travel.
They called it: “The world is so big, I’m taking your mother to see it.”
The truth was: “The family fortune is so vast, you can squander it however you like. We’ve worked our whole lives, can’t we enjoy ourselves a bit?”
All of this now benefited Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang frowned slightly, finding it a bit strange.
It was fine that the original Host looked exactly like him, but why did the parents in his memory also look exactly like his own parents?
Zhou Yang shook his head. The original Host’s only flaw was… “Why does this guy feel like a Villain male supporting character?”
“This is probably the effect of a mind-dulling aura, isn’t it?”
Zhou Yang muttered, “He madly liked a woman, gave her money, supported her family, but she disdained the original Host… and favored some other guy.”
“Hiss~~”
“A bit terrifying!”
Zhou Yang touched his nose.
“Ding~” A sound rang out.
Zhou Yang suddenly looked up, “Oh, wow~~”
The ancients truly did not deceive me; transmigration is inevitably accompanied by a System.
So, System… “?????”
What’s going on? No reaction for a long time?
“System, I call you, do you dare to answer?”
Zhou Yang shouted in his mind.
“Ding, please wait. The wrong beginner’s gift package was taken. Currently communicating for a replacement!”
The System’s voice rang in Zhou Yang’s mind.
Zhou Yang: “…”
This System seemed a bit unreliable.
“May I ask, System, what kind of System are you? And what were the original beginner’s gift package and the current beginner’s gift package?”
Zhou Yang asked curiously.
“Ding, since you asked sincerely, this System will mercifully tell you.”
“The original beginner’s gift package was one million in funds!”
The System said.
The air suddenly fell silent.
Zhou Yang: This System seems a bit unintelligent.
He took out his phone, opened his mobile banking app, and glanced at it.
Good, good, my billions in pocket money are still there. The System didn't embezzle them.
“This System is… the Ultimate Invincible Great Villain System!”
The System said again.
Zhou Yang: “ (；¬ ꈊ ¬) ”
Amidst the silence, the scene became extremely awkward.
“No way!”
“System, unbind yourself!”
Zhou Yang resolutely refused.
Being a Villain has no future. Although in many Villain novels, the Protagonist is tormented to death and back.
But… they are not me!
Am I out of my mind?!
I have trillions in assets, and I'm not going to just slack off? I'm going to provoke the Protagonist?
It’s decided then.
Not greedy for wealth, not lustful, not accepting gifts, not taking the lead.
If I can lay low, I will never show off. If I can hide, I will never step forward.
If a beautiful woman is in danger, I run. If an old person falls, I am numb.
If I encounter Xiao Lin or Ye Chu, I’ll take a detour. Uh, those surnamed Tang can be bullied.
Wasteful geniuses, Dragon King divine doctors, live-in son-in-law War Gods, Immortal Emperors, Demon Venerables—all of you, clear out!
I’m going to slack off!
“Ding, by plundering the Protagonist’s destiny value, you can obtain destiny value and strengthen yourself!”
The System seemed a bit anxious and hastily said.
“I’m a young master of a metropolitan wealthy family; what do I need to be that strong for?”
“I’m not going to fight against the state apparatus. I have nothing better to do, am I that bored?”
Zhou Yang refused again.
“Ding, who told you this is a metropolis? This is cultivation!”
The System hastily said, “When the Spiritual Energy Revival occurs, it will be very dangerous without strength.”
Zhou Yang: Oh wow, Spiritual Energy Revival, huh?
Then I should enjoy myself even more.
The Protagonist will handle everything in front. I’ll just slack off; how great!
In my previous life, I exhausted everything just to survive. In this life, I am willing to choose to slack off for trillions in assets.
I’ve been tired my whole life, and I’ve already died once. Can’t I enjoy myself a bit now?
System: “…”
This Host is so difficult to manage.
“Ding, issuing the beginner’s gift package.”
The System said weakly, “Congratulations to the Host for acquiring Grandmaster Peak cultivation.”
Boom!
A mysterious power erupted within Zhou Yang’s body.
His body became even more upright, and his pampered little potbelly disappeared, replaced by an eight-pack of abs.
Zhou Yang: You’re the one who wanted to give this, not me. You can’t force me to do things.
System: “…”
“Bang bang bang.”
A knocking sound rang out, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked in.
“Uncle Yang.”
Zhou Yang turned to look. The only person who could enter his room without reservation was this butler.
Although not a blood relative, their affection was no less than that of family.
“Young Master, are you going to school or the company today?”
Uncle Yang said gently, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
The Young Master was good in every way, but unfortunately, his taste was not great.
And he was a simp.
Why did he fall for that woman?
Zhou Yang rubbed his temples.
Suddenly, he didn't want to go to school or the company. What to do?
“To school!”
Zhou Yang exhaled and said.
Uncle Yang’s eyes immediately dimmed.
Sure enough.
The Young Master still couldn't let go of that woman.
He really wanted to kill her!
