29: Chapter 29 Shen Yuan: If I let the protagonists fight it out, will there be any villain points? System: There's a bug! Can't be fixed.

"Why do you get a sixty-forty split?"

Xiao Ce looked aggrieved. "I'm the one getting beaten, and you're getting beaten too... Why do I get a fifty-fifty split?"

Chu Yang was all smiles, looking a bit mischievous. "Ask Old Shen!"

Shen Yuan turned his head and squinted.

"Can you even compare to Yang Zi?"

Shen Yuan chuckled.

Xiao Ce pouted. "At least my daughter is your goddaughter..."

"Yang Zi is my biological brother from different parents!"

Shen Yuan pointed at Chu Yang. "I owe him!"

"Ah!?"

Xiao Ce didn't quite understand.

"It's a long story, but basically like this and like that!" Shen Yuan waved his hand elegantly.

Xiao Ce's face was covered in black lines.

True and false young masters!?

After all this time, you, Young Master Shen, aren't even the true young master of the Shen Family!

In that case, you really do owe him.

But...

Xiao Ce looked at Chu Yang. "You don't hate him at all?"

"It's not his fault, and it's not my parents' fault. Why should I hate him?"

Chu Yang spoke with a smile. "Besides... the moment he found out, he came to find me. He even wanted to give me the family inheritance and didn't even hide the existence of the system!"

Most importantly...

He saved Yiyi!

Though by blood, Yiyi is his biological sister.

But Yiyi is also my obsession!

I am grateful to him!

Xiao Ce: "..."

That actually makes sense!

But...

I always feel like this fellow Shen Yuan is intentionally seeking death.

After all... who the hell would tell others if they had a system?

Since Chu Yang is the Child of Destiny, with his background, he'd only need to find a couple of assassins on the dark web...

And just pop him with a bullet.

Then again, Children of Destiny seem pretty hard to kill!

"I owe Chu Yang!"

Shen Yuan spoke elegantly. "So, a sixty-forty split. He gets sixty, I get forty!"

"As for you, Old Xiao..."

"I saved your daughter. That's a favor I did for you, right?"

"I'm calling in that favor now. What about it?"

"Is a fifty-fifty split not okay?"

Shen Yuan was cheerful.

Xiao Ce laughed and shook his head. "Fine, fine, fine, you're the boss!"

"Even if you hadn't told me, with that condition you set—beating me up every day..."

"I'd still have to take it!"

"I am a man of my word, after all!"

"If you didn't give me anything, I wouldn't even get a single hair!"

Xiao Ce raised an eyebrow.

"Do you even have hair?"

Shen Yuan squinted, smoothing back his hairline. "Do you have a single hair on your body?"

"Everyone has hair!"

Xiao Ce shouted.

"Tsk!"

Chu Yang and Shen Yuan both flipped him the middle finger at the same time.

Xiao Ce's mouth twitched.

You two really are brothers!

Your reactions are exactly the same.

"Actually, I have another idea."

Licking his lips, Shen Yuan smiled wickedly. "Jie jie jie~~"

Chu Yang and Xiao Ce both shuddered.

When you know a certain system owner is smiling wickedly at you...

You'd shudder too.

"I'm a Villain, so it's only logical for me to bully the Child of Destiny."

"Besides, Villains always have minions under them!"

"By right, I should be letting my minions go and deliver their heads one by one first."

"So I was thinking, if I have you guys bully each other..."

"Would I get villain points?"

Shen Yuan rubbed his chin, let out a cold laugh.

Xiao Ce swallowed hard. "I don't know!"

Chu Yang snorted. "Old Shen, are you brain-dead? Ask your system!"

Shen Yuan: (^_−)

That makes a hell of a lot of sense!

When in doubt, use quantum mechanics.

If quantum fails, ask the system!

"Ding, yes!"

The System said calmly, "Is that not a matter of course? Did you even need to ask?"

Shen Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said to the system with a grin, "Of course I had to ask!"

"After all..."

"My point isn't about my own minions. I mean, if I have someone else hold down a Child of Destiny and beat them, I can get villain points, right?"

"Anyone will do?"

Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow.

The System was very straightforward. "Yes! Even if you have a three-year-old child stab a Child of Destiny with a knife, you will get villain points!"

"As long as they are following your orders, you get them!"

The System stated very clearly.

Shen Yuan clapped his hands. "Great, I was just waiting for you to say that, System!"

System: "????"

"I'll have Chu Yang hit Xiao Ce, and have Xiao Ce hit Chu Yang. I'll have them fight every day..."

"System... what do you think of that~~"

Shen Yuan smiled mischievously, deliberately dragging out the last note.

He tilted his head slightly, the corners of his eyes lifted, and his lips curled into a punchable arc.

System: "Holy shit!?"

Where the hell did this train of thought come from?

Anyone arranged by the Villain can generate villain points...

Was Chu Yang arranged by Shen Yuan?

Yes!

Was Xiao Ce arranged by Shen Yuan?

Yes!

So if the two of them fight...

The System felt like its CPU was about to fry.

This... it really felt like there was a bug.

But... it somehow ran perfectly.

"Ding, a bug has been detected!"

The System said, "Now performing self-check to fix the bug!"

"Whoa, are you a sore loser?" Shen Yuan got anxious. "Where's the trust between beings?"

"System, when an operating system has a bug, don't touch it!"

"Once you try to fix a bug, the whole system might stop running!"

Shen Yuan shouted hurriedly.

"Ding..."

"After inspection... no bugs exist in the system's operation!"

The System seemed a bit dejected. "Host, you fucking win!"

The System was completely speechless!

What kind of decent system Host would mess around like this!?

What kind of Villain would have a protagonist deal with another protagonist?

Shen Yuan snapped back to reality, looking at Chu Yang and Xiao Ce with a very happy smile.

The two of them huddled together, shivering.

"Old Shen, stop laughing!"

Chu Yang shouted, "That laugh... it's so lowly and annoying, like a rat that just stole some sugar!"

Xiao Ce also shouted, "You're laughing too mischievously, it's disgusting, like you just stole a chicken from Grandma Wang next door and swiped a few handfuls of vegetables on the way out."

Shen Yuan's smile vanished instantly.

Is my laugh really that mischievous?

But then again, I guess I really am that kind of jerk, aren't I?

"Hehehe!"

"Jie jie jie~~"

The laughter became even more intense.

Chu Yang and Xiao Ce: "..."

"One word!"

Licking his lips, Shen Yuan said with a smile, "I've finished communicating with the system..."

"If you two fight each other, I can get villain points too!"

"From now on, anyone who follows my orders to deal with a protagonist will earn me villain points!"

Shen Yuan made a 'please' gesture. "Come on, brothers! Let's hurt each other!"

Chu Yang's eyes lit up, and he immediately let go of Xiao Ce, a spark of fire flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Ce: (－ｏ⌒) ??

Chu Yang, you changed your tune way too fast, didn't you?

"Come on, let's hurt each other!"

Chu Yang's eyes were filled with fanatical excitement.

"No thanks!"

"Another day!"

Xiao Ce waved his hands hurriedly. "My wife and kid are still here, it's not a good time to fight!"

"Give me two days to get my wife and child settled..."

"And my transfer order, I have to bring that over!"

"I have to finish these tasks!"

"When the time comes..."

Xiao Ce took a deep breath, looking righteous and domineering. "I'll fight you with everything I've got!"

"Good!"

Chu Yang nodded heavily.

Shen Yuan snapped his fingers.

Excellent!

With the Children of Destiny hurting each other...

I'll have plenty of time to go out and show off.

Sigh!

In the end, it's me, the capitalist, who wins again!
