58: Godly Rich System
Upon hearing the prompt from the system illusion dream, Ling Xian's gaze immediately swept across everyone in the private room, quickly locking onto Ma Yifei sitting in the left corner.
The reason was simple: the deliberately crooked smile at the corner of the other person's mouth was too conspicuous.
From the moment Ling Xian entered the room, that person's gaze had never left Wu Yueyue. Despite having an ordinary appearance, his eyes were filled with contempt, exuding an arrogant and dismissive attitude.
Who else but a Child of Destiny would carry themselves in such a manner?
"Eye of Detection."
With a thought from Ling Xian, the skill activated instantly.
[Ma Yifei (Child of Destiny)]
[Golden Finger: super tycoon system]
[Cultivation Level: None (Combat Power Trash)]
[Wealth: One Million]
[Destiny Level: 10 Points]
[Comprehensive Evaluation: Has not yet come into contact with supernatural powers; a newly awakened Child of Destiny who has yet to mature. Has some value for being harvested!]
Ling Xian was slightly taken aback.
This was the first time he had encountered a Child of Destiny who possessed a system, and it was even the overused super tycoon system commonly found in novels.
"illusion dream, can it detect you?" Ling Xian silently compared in his mind.
[host, rest assured. This system possesses top-tier permissions. That thing is merely a trashy little system that hasn't even spawned a system sprite yet.]
[As long as the host is willing to expend villain points, this system can cripple it with a snap of the fingers.]
Hearing this, Ling Xian curled the corner of his mouth.
It seemed his own system was indeed formidable. In other words, he could easily manipulate this Ma Yifei before him without worrying about the other's system causing trouble.
[host, do you wish to eliminate Ma Yifei now?]
"No, let him grow for a while first," Ling Xian rejected. "He definitely harbors opportunities. Intercepting those opportunities can yield villain points. Eliminating him now would at most net a gift package for an immature Child of Destiny, which is too wasteful."
Clearly, Ling Xian was already greatly amused.
It had been a long time since he had encountered new entertainment since Lin Feng's death.
"illusion dream, retrieve his life script."
[host, this requires consuming 500 villain points.]
"Why was Lin Feng's script free?"
500 villain points weren't much, but even a little savings count.
[The first retrieval is a beginner's benefit, free of charge.]
Ling Xian was speechless.
He always felt that illusion dream had probably embezzled quite a few good items from the beginner's gift package.
"Consume it."
As the words fell, a stream of information flooded into Ling Xian's mind.
In an instant, Ma Yifei's original predetermined plot became clearly visible.
It was a clichéd story of a simp making a comeback.
After graduating high school, Ma Yifei witnessed the goddess he had simped for three years being embraced by a rich second-generation heir. Stimulated by the humiliation, he awakened the super tycoon system.
The plot was utterly absurd.
He awakened the system simply out of anger!
Afterwards, relying on the system, he accumulated wealth, unlocked various business skills, soared to the top of the business world, and finally returned to his origins, mercilessly trampling the former goddess and the rich heir underfoot.
The entire plot was filled with obsession for that goddess.
Even though he encountered countless beauties on his path to success, in his eyes, none could compare to even one ten-thousandth of his original goddess.
"Tsk tsk, this guy probably has a masochistic tendency," Ling Xian clicked his tongue inwardly. "The old saying is true: if you can't stop someone from being a simp, it's because he is inherently willing to be one at his core."
On the other side, Ma Yifei was staring at Wu Yueyue, lost in thought.
"Although not as good as the goddess, she's still a beauty," he calculated in his heart. "Since I hold a system, I should naturally embrace beauties left and right, possessing a harem of three thousand. Ling Xian? Heh, I'll show you what it means to be rich and reckless."
Fortunately, Ling Xian couldn't read minds, otherwise he would have burst out laughing on the spot.
Rich and reckless?
With a mere one million in wealth, he dares to be so arrogant before his wings are even fully grown.
Beyond wealth, one must also have power.
In Donghai City, Ling Xian alone is king.
This authority could bankrupt Ma Yifei with a snap of the fingers.
Thinking of this, an idea flashed through Ling Xian's mind.
Why not make Ma Yifei obediently send money to the Ling Group?
From the plots of both Lin Feng and Ma Yifei, Ling Xian also discovered something interesting: the two actually came from the same orphanage.
This orphanage needed to be investigated.
In the center of the private room, one of Class Monitor's lackeys suddenly spoke, his tone full of flattery: "Class Monitor, I heard there's a Fang Family in Jiangnan. Could that be your family?"
"What Fang Family or not, it's just the family doing some small business," Class Monitor said modestly, but his eyes looked approvingly at the lackey, clearly remembering this person.
This statement was perfectly executed, an excellent setup line.
Class Monitor was certain that as long as he displayed a bit of his financial power, Wu Yueyue would definitely throw herself into his arms.
"Then Class Monitor's family must own a sports car, right?" The lackey's follow-up question was perfectly timed.
Hearing this, the surrounding students immediately erupted in gasps of amazement.
They were just freshmen who had recently entered university; where would they have seen a real sports car? At most, they had seen them scrolling on their phones or glimpsed one from afar on the road.
In stark contrast to the excitement of these students were Ma Yifei, Ling Xian, and Wu Yueyue.
Ma Yifei looked down on it from the bottom of his heart, relying on his system.
Ling Xian genuinely came from a wealthy family; a sports car to him was merely a matter of whether he felt like playing with one or not.
"To be honest with everyone, the family does have a Ferrari 488," Class Monitor said casually.
The lackey immediately led the way with envious exclamations, creating an extremely lively atmosphere and giving Class Monitor plenty of face.
Ling Xian glanced at Class Monitor, his eyes filled with pity.
Silly boy, still putting on airs.
Soon, he would be thoroughly slapped in the face.
Having seen the original plot, Ling Xian knew Class Monitor was merely a minor cannon fodder in Ma Yifei's early stages, specifically there to provide him with an opportunity for face-slapping.
Before long, Ma Yifei would arrive driving a luxury car worth tens of millions. Compared to that Ferrari 488 worth less than five million, which was superior would be obvious at a glance.
Sure enough, the next second, the private room door was pushed open, and a waiter walked in.
"Apologies for the interruption. May I ask, who among you owns the Aston Martin Valhalla in the parking lot?"
"It's not ours," Class Monitor immediately spoke up.
The Aston Martin Valhalla, a multi-million luxury car, globally limited to 999 units. Even with substantial wealth, one might not necessarily be able to buy it.
Class Monitor was well aware of his family's capabilities; the Fang Family would absolutely not purchase such a car for him.
"Oh, it's mine," Ma Yifei spoke up, forcing calmness, though his fingertips couldn't help but tremble slightly, clearly having anticipated this for a long time. "What's the matter?"
"Sir, your car is parked in the wrong spot and needs to be moved," the waiter replied respectfully.
He was utterly shocked inside, privately thinking, "Are wealthy people this low-key nowadays?"
Dressed in affordable clothes, yet driving a sports car of this level.
But as a waiter at Jiangnan Grand Hotel, his professionalism was sufficient; after all, he didn't show a trace of disdain as he would have in the original plot.
Of course, this was also somewhat related to Ling Xian's presence suppressing part of Ma Yifei's destiny aura.
"System, can you reclaim the sports car that Ma Yifei just obtained from the super tycoon system?" Ling Xian silently thought to himself.
