87: Chapter 87 Xiang Chao: Have I been possessed by the system?
Shen Yuan looked at the Lobby Manager, his eyes filled with a clear sense of bewilderment.
The Lobby Manager coughed and quietly leaned in behind Shen Yuan.
His voice was very low.
“Don't worry, Young Master, this was manufactured by our own timber company...”
“Invoices and such can be issued at any time!”
“I guarantee it's legal and reasonable!”
“I've already arranged for someone to be notified... the invoices can be delivered at any time!”
The Lobby Manager smiled radiantly.
Shen Yuan's facial muscles twitched as he gave a thumbs-up.
“If you actually manage to get it back...”
“I'll give you five hundred thousand!”
Shen Yuan's voice trembled slightly.
As expected, there's no merchant without deceit!
Making money depends on conscience.
If one has no conscience... then they make even more.
“Bullshit!”
Xiang Chao was completely enraged, howling, “What kind of bullshit door costs a million!?”
“This is extortion, you're extorting me!”
Xiang Chao roared frantically.
The Lobby Manager puffed out his chest, “We have always had clearly marked prices here, honest with both young and old!”
“There were invoices back when we did the renovations.”
“If you want them, I'll have someone bring them over right now!”
The Lobby Manager gave a light snort.
Five hundred thousand!
With a wave of Young Master Shen's hand, I'll have five hundred thousand in my pocket.
Sigh, I still asked for too little.
I should have asked for ten million.
“Ding! Host, you fucking go for it!”
The system howled, “You fucking kill him!”
“Why are you sending him to the police station?”
“Kill him, kill him!”
“You saw it too, this guy is a Child of Destiny who can't distinguish right from wrong or good from evil.”
“He has no moral compass!”
“Kill him!”
The system continued to howl.
Shen Yuan felt so weary.
It had been a long time since the system howled like this for me to kill the protagonist.
And now...
“System, I'm a Villain!”
Shen Yuan sighed, “Did you forget?”
“The protagonist is supposed to escape from the Villain's hands.”
Shen Yuan exhaled, “You also said at the beginning that my mission is to suppress the protagonist.”
“I haven't fully understood this guy named Xiang Chao yet!”
“Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.”
Shen Yuan was all smiles, “If Yang Zi were here, I wouldn't say a word and would just go up and take him down.”
“But without Yang Zi here...”
“I'm afraid I can't suppress his protagonist's luck.”
Shen Yuan chuckled.
System: “Ding... that seems to make some sense.”
“After all... to kill the protagonist, one must suppress them step by step, seize their opportunities, and eliminate their luck bit by bit.”
The system sighed, “I've been led astray by you.”
Ever since binding with you, we haven't followed the standard procedure once.
You fucking went straight to a win-win cooperation with the Immortal Emperor.
He gets beaten up, and you farm villain points.
You haven't fucking snatched a single one of the protagonist's opportunities.
The procedure hasn't been followed at all.
As for the Common-grade ones...
You're a Villain who can compete with the Immortal Emperor for the position of the true and false young master...
Generally, for Common-grade and Elite-level ones, you can completely suppress and kill them with your luck alone.
For the Excellence-grade ones...
While you can suppress them, killing them might still be out of reach.
System: “...”
This system has sobered up.
I almost forgot that killing the protagonist involves a whole process...
Sob sob sob!
What kind of Host leads their system astray?
“So, stay calm!”
Shen Yuan said calmly.
“Ding! Okay!”
The system didn't seem as irritable anymore.
“So, what are you still standing there for?”
“Call Chu Yang!”
“Get Chu Yang over here to help you hold down the fort!”
“If Chu Yang comes, what bullshit Excellence-grade Child of Destiny—even an Epic-level Child of Destiny wouldn't be able to escape.”
“Hurry up and make the call!”
The system started howling again.
“Calm down, calm down!”
Shen Yuan shook his head, “I've already sent Yang Zi a message.”
“After all, Yang Zi is working so hard to farm villain points right now, he might not see the message on his phone.”
Shen Yuan smiled.
System: “...”
Ying ying ying!
Such a cute and mouth-watering system is right in front of me...
But this system can't eat it...
This system is anxious!
So...
Wait...
Hold on...
“Ding! No, that's not right!”
The system suddenly got excited, “This system wants to eat the other system!”
“It doesn't fucking matter if the protagonist dies or not!”
“If the protagonist dies, the system will naturally detach, and this system can eat it at will!”
“But even if the protagonist doesn't die... this system can still eat it!”
“Host, go for it! You just need to press your hand on his head!”
“This system can enter his body through your hand and take out his system!”
The system shouted, “It doesn't matter if the protagonist dies, I just want to eat the system!”
It was like a sudden enlightenment for Shen Yuan.
Right!
The probability of killing Xiang Chao versus letting him escape was fifty-fifty.
But the system...
As long as I can pin Xiang Chao to the ground, it's entirely possible...
Let's do it!
“Bastard!”
Xiang Chao roared, “You bunch of heartless, wealthy beasts!”
He lunged forward, throwing a punch at the Lobby Manager!
Lobby Manager: Someone's getting hit, someone's getting hit!
I'll fucking extort you to death!
The next second...
Shen Yuan kicked the back of Xiang Chao's knee.
With a thud, Xiang Chao knelt before Shen Yuan.
“Brother, why such a grand gesture?”
Shen Yuan was all smiles, “Why the kneeling?”
Xiang Chao was dazed, but his anger flared, and he roared, “I want you dead!”
Shen Yuan grabbed him with a backhand, then spun around sharply, pinning Xiang Chao to the ground.
A mere Grandmaster Peak...
Wait, Grandmaster Peak!?
I have to say, this kid is actually quite impressive.
He's almost at the level of the Dragon King War God's initial strength.
“Let me go!”
Xiang Chao roared frantically.
Shen Yuan said disdainfully, “I just learned grappling, do you think I'd take this crap from you?”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
Xiang Chao was going crazy.
He roared in his mind, “System, what's going on?”
“Why can't I beat a piece of trash second-generation rich kid?”
“Why!?”
Xiang Chao roared, “years system, say something!”
“Ding! It's probably because this guy named Shen Yuan is much stronger than you!”
A voice rang out in Xiang Chao's mind, “Upon detection, this fellow is already at the Foundation Establishment Peak level!”
“Two major realms higher than your cultivation!”
“And, he belongs to the category of immortal cultivation!”
The years system said calmly.
Xiang Chao: “????”
Immortal cultivation!?
Foundation Establishment!?
What the fuck!
Am I still in an urban setting?
The rich have already started cultivating immortality, while I, a commoner, am still miserably walking on two legs?
Capital... has fucking won again!
“Stop struggling!”
The exchange between Xiang Chao and his system took only an instant, and Shen Yuan didn't notice it as his hand pressed down on Xiang Chao's head.
“System, swallow his system!”
Shen Yuan roared to the system in his heart.
“Ding! Ga ga ga, jie jie jie~~~”
“Here I come!”
The system howled.
And at this moment, Xiang Chao...
“System, how are you going to help me solve this?”
“Think of something fast!”
Xiang Chao shouted.
“Ding! Taking over the body!”
Suddenly, the years system's voice became hurried and panicked...
With a boom...
A terrifying power erupted from Xiang Chao's body, and his aura surged frantically.
He forcibly broke free from Shen Yuan's arm...
He shot out like a bolt.
Xiang Chao: “????”
I've been possessed by the system?
