97: Chapter 97 The Protagonist with X-ray Vision

Facing the pointing and whispering of the crowd, Zhang Yang gritted his teeth tightly, clenched his fists, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Because everything Chu Yuan said was true.

If he hadn't been blinded by greed at the beginning and accepted Chu Yuan's money, he wouldn't have been schemed against by Chu Yuan later on.

If he had to blame someone, he could only blame his own weak will.

Nie Yuqing looked at Chu Yuan at this moment, her face full of disbelief.

Just a moment ago, if she had been slightly careless, she would have become the person the crowd called a gold digger.

Now, she, Nie Yuqing, had instead become the victim.

"Ding! Host has struck a blow to the confidence of the Protagonist Zhang Yang, causing him embarrassment. Gained 3000 villain points."

Chu Yuan: "..."

That was enough to strike a blow to Zhang Yang's confidence?

This guy was almost being toyed into having a fragile heart by him.

A fragile heart refers to those with poor mental fortitude, whose hearts are like glass, easily shattered. A few words from others, casual criticism and accusations, are enough to make them lose confidence and be unable to withstand the blow.

Studies show that those losers from poor family backgrounds are the most prone to this mentality.

Zhang Yang was exactly like this; even with a system and a loser's counterattack, he couldn't change his essential nature as a loser.

After casually suppressing Zhang Yang, Chu Yuan had no intention of pressing his advantage.

Instead, his gaze turned towards a male student sitting in the corner who looked somewhat inconspicuous.

He always felt that the other person's gaze was somewhat malicious.

"Ding! Reminder to Host: A new Protagonist has been discovered. The Protagonist's plot has been retrieved for the Host."

In an instant, all the plot information regarding this Protagonist flooded into Chu Yuan's mind.

This person's name was Wang Hao, and he was an orphan.

After all, it is a Protagonist; more than half of all Protagonists are orphans.

Lin Tianyang was also an orphan, picked up by his master Wuchen and brought back to the mountains to be raised.

After graduation, he started working as a delivery man.

At a colleague gathering, because he saw a beautiful woman nearby and flirted with her, he ended up having his head cracked open by her boyfriend and was sent to jail for three months.

By a strange twist of fate, blood entered his eyes, causing Wang Hao to awaken X-ray Vision.

That's right, this Protagonist actually possessed X-ray Vision.

"System, isn't Nie Yuqing the heroine of Zhang Yang's plot? How did she become the heroine in Wang Hao's plot?"

Indeed, Chu Yuan learned from Wang Hao's plot that Wang Hao and Nie Yuqing were classmates.

Nie Yuqing was outstanding in appearance, and that naturally seductive charm of hers didn't just attract ordinary people; she was also the object of Wang Hao's secret crush.

Unlike the nouveau riche Zhang Yang, Wang Hao came from a poor family. His tuition fees were all saved up bit by bit through his own part-time work; he simply had no money or capital to pursue Nie Yuqing.

Therefore, when he saw Zhang Yang frantically pursuing Nie Yuqing and becoming her boyfriend, he felt a deep sense of disgust.

"Ding! This is an arrangement by the World Consciousness. Host will encounter countless heroines and Protagonists; it is normal for there to be overlaps."

"I understand. This is the case of 'flowing Protagonists, ironclad villains and heroines,' isn't it?"

It was clear that he had once again become the villain in Wang Hao's plot. Having snatched the other's dream goddess, the result would naturally be a life-and-death struggle.

Wait!

X-ray Vision!

This guy actually had X-ray Vision. He wouldn't be looking at things he shouldn't, would he?

Chu Yuan subconsciously glanced at the other person, then turned his gaze back to Nie Yuqing.

He could admire his own woman from 360 degrees without any blind spots, but as for other trash, even if it were a Protagonist, it had no such qualifications.

"System, is there any way to block the other person's X-ray Vision?"

"Ding! Blocking Stone: Within a hundred-meter radius of the carrier, it can isolate all X-ray Vision. Redemption price: 30,000 villain points."

"Blocking Talisman: A one-time consumable. After use, it isolates all X-ray Vision for one hour. Redemption price: 3,000 villain points."

The system directly provided two options.

The permanent Blocking Stone naturally had the best effect, but the price made Chu Yuan daunted.

"System, give me two Blocking Talismans."

"Ding! Host has spent 6,000 villain points. Blocking Talismans redeemed successfully."

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Chu Yuan directly applied the Blocking Talismans to Nie Yuqing and himself.

Although he was a man, if he were looked at, it would just be looked at; it wouldn't have much of an impact.

But if he were seen through by a Protagonist like Wang Hao, he would always feel a bit uncomfortable.

Damn it!

Damn Protagonist, just meeting it cost this young master 6,000 villain points. Let's see how I destroy you.

At this moment, Wang Hao, sitting in an inconspicuous spot in the corner, was feeling secretly heartbroken.

During college, his goddess had been snatched by that pig Zhang Yang, which had left him heartbroken.

He finally learned that Nie Yuqing had dumped Zhang Yang, only to have Chu Yuan beat him to the punch.

Glaring fiercely in Chu Yuan's direction, Wang Hao's eyes were filled with hostility and killing intent.

"Just you wait. I'm a person with X-ray Vision. Sooner or later, I will take Nie Yuqing back."

"Only a Son of Destiny like me is worthy of having Nie Yuqing."

Wang Hao's eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

It would be one thing if he looked better than him, but he also had better family conditions and was richer than him.

No, you are just that kind of playboy with a good family background.

If you didn't have a good family background, you would be nothing but a useless piece of trash.

Consumed by jealousy, Wang Hao never considered that if he hadn't accidentally obtained X-ray Vision, he wouldn't even be as good as an ordinary person.

After having X-ray Vision, Wang Hao's luck was heaven-defying; he discovered a box of buried gold beneath his rented apartment.

After getting his first pot of gold, he went around scratching lottery tickets and gambling on stones. Now, he was the boss of three companies, had a net worth of billions, countless luxury cars, and beautiful women everywhere.

The rich second-generation heir who had dared to beat him up back then had also been carefully schemed against by Wang Hao and sent away via a car accident.

It could be said that when a Protagonist becomes ruthless, there is simply nothing left for the villains to do.

"Right before my eyes, yet I can look but cannot touch. Damn it!"

Watching Chu Yuan with his arms around Nie Yuqing, the two of them showing off their affection, Wang Hao felt so angry inside.

"No, I possess X-ray Vision. Since Nie Yuqing is here, if I don't look thoroughly, how can I justify it to myself?"

"But... but would that be too despicable?"

After a moment of hesitation, Wang Hao still decided to quietly use his X-ray Vision.

It wasn't for peeping; it was purely for appreciation.

He found a reasonable excuse for himself.

The moment he thought about being able to see through that thin clothing to the jade-like body he had been thinking about day and night, Wang Hao felt a surge of excitement, almost drooling.

Hmm?

Chu Yuan's senses had long exceeded those of ordinary people. Before Wang Hao intended to activate his X-ray Vision, he had already sensed it and cast a glance at the other person without revealing his thoughts.

With that lecherous look, how could Chu Yuan not understand what the other person wanted to do?

"A Protagonist, looking like this? Simply more of a hooligan than a hooligan?"

Wang Hao's behavior had refreshed his understanding of what a Protagonist was.

But it seemed correct, too; the vast majority of Protagonists are actually just a combination of hooligans and robbers.
