Chapter 26 - System Activated, Su Lin’s Hand Slipped!
Chapter 26 : System Activated, Su Lin’s Hand Slipped!
Su Lin, who was doing his homework at home, suddenly heard a sound in his mind.
[Ding~! Congratulations to the host for completing the activation requirements. The Supervillain System has been activated.].
[Ding~! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a warm gift pack. Do you wish to activate it?].
“Activate!!”
[Ding~! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill : Retentive Memory.].
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill : Eight Extremes Fist (Master)].
[Ding~! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill : Appraisal (can inspect an individual’s basic information and favorability)].
[Ding~! Due to the host’s suppression, the protagonist Ye Feng’s memory ability has been reduced by 10%. Memories of his previous life have been reduced by 10%.].
[Ding~! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a comprehensive body enhancement.].
For a full twenty minutes, Su Lin absorbed the changes brought about by the system. As if his body had been enhanced, his previous one-pack abdominal had disappeared and was replaced by an eight-pack abs.
Eight Extreme Fist, Tiger Lunge, Iron Mountain Lean, Half-step Crushing Fist, and so on seemed to have been engraved in his bones.
“System, are you there?”
[Yes, host.].
“I want to ask whether this world is a straightforward rebirth novel world or a composite of multiple novels.” Su Lin, who had read villainous novels, knew very well that protagonists like Ye Feng were of the lowest level.
If characters like the God of War’s return, the Physician descending the mountain, or the Immortal rebirth appeared, things would get complicated.
[Host, this is a world that is constantly improving and evolving. The possibility of other characters appearing from other novels in the future cannot be ruled out.]
“Uh… I was just f*king celebrating the fact that I gained strength and martial arts, and now this?!”
[Host, instead of putting your thoughts on this, why don’t you think of ways to suppress the protagonist Ye Feng and obtain more abilities?].
“Uh… that makes sense. Tell me, what tasks do you have?”
[This system is called the Supervillain System. As the name suggests, its purpose is to create a supervillain.].
[This system’s only mission: The host needs to suppress the protagonist through his own arrangements, pursue the female lead, and change the original plot’s direction. Each time the task is completed successfully the system will reward you accordingly.].
Ye Feng, who was thinking of a way to sell the items, suddenly felt like he had lost something, but it also felt like he had lost nothing. “Eh? Why did I suddenly feel like I lost something?”
“Anyway I should hurry up and sell all my equipment so that I can stop the bleeding.” Ye Feng finally realized what was going on. Because of his arrival in this world, there were many butterfly effects, and these butterfly effects led to the current situation.
For example, the Necklace of Fate was a relatively large butterfly effect. He regretted not selling them sooner.
While he was occupied with the current situation he failed to notice that some of the memories in his mind were gradually becoming blurry.
“If I had sold it last night, I would have hundreds of thousands of yuan by now. Sigh. Oh well, it’s time to strategize for the long term. As for Shiyu, I’ll let her calm down for a bit.” Little did Ye Feng know that Xia Shiyu was already disappointed towards him.
She walked alone in the street, chagrined and regretful. Why did she believe Ye Feng after hearing a few words? Why did she spend all her money on some gaming equipment?
Xia Shiyu wanted to slap herself and now she had no idea how to explain this to Su Lin. Thinking of Su Lin, Xia Shiyu’s heart was filled with warmth. For her, it was the last trace of warmth in the world.
Su Lin practiced a set of the Eight Extremes Fist in the courtyard of the villa. “If I were to use my full strength, I would be able to kill even a cow. A master-level Eight Extremes Fist is truly terrifying.”
Just as Su Lin finished speaking, his phone rang. “Hello, Shiyu.”
“Su Lin!!”
Hearing Xia Shiyu’s slightly sobbing voice, Su Lin already knew what happened. “Xiaoyu, what happened?”
“I… I don’t know what to say. I… I want to see you.”
When Xia Shiyu heard Su Lin’s gentle voice, her entire body trembled as tears flowed out from the corner of her eyes.
“Where are you now? I’ll come find you.”
“Uh…”
“Let’s talk face to face.” Su Lin chuckled.
As Xia Shiyu gave him the address, Su Lin walked into the garage and drove out of the villa. Liu Yong had already left, so Su Lin had to drive himself.
Ten minutes later, Su Lin saw Xia Shiyu on Linjiang Lihai Avenue. Xia Shiyu, like a lonely injured little animal, sat on a stone bench by the river.
Su Lin stopped the car and walked over. “Shiyu!!”
“Su Lin!! You’re finally her.” She said while sobbing, rushing towards Su Lin. Xia Shiyu hugged Su Lin with all her might.
Su Lin gently patted her back to comfort her. After a while, Xia Shiyu finally stopped crying. At this time, she vented all the emotions in her heart. When she came back to her senses, she didn’t dare to look at Su Lin.
She didn’t know when Su Lin sat on the bench, but she was clinging tightly to Su Lin’s neck, her pretty face buried in his chest.
She cried too hard earlier so she didn’t feel much. Now that she came back to her senses, she realized that with every breath she took, she could feel the strong masculine scent on Su Lin’s body.
The scent with hormones made her body soft and unable to muster up any strength. Xia Shiyu didn’t dare to look at Su Lin as she buried her face in his chest and sobbed, “Su Lin, I did something wrong.”
Su Lin, with both hands embracing Xia Shiyu’s back to prevent her from falling, smiled, “Oh? What happened?”
“I took the money you donated…” Xia Shiyu quietly told Su Lin everything that happened during the past few days. The past few days were her most depressing days. Even when Xia Junming was diagnosed with uremia and felt helpless, she wasn’t this depressed.
“Su Lin, you’re not mad at me right? It’s eighty thousand yuan.”
Su Lin laughed, “Since I gave it to you, spend it however you like. If the investment fails, it can only be attributed to your capabilities.”
“But Xiaoyu, are you still treating me and Xiaowan as outsiders? You believed Ye Feng’s few words, why didn’t you believe that I could help you?” Su Lin lightly patted Xia Shiyu’s perky buttocks.
“Ying~~~ Su Lin… You’re bullying me!!!”
“Shiyu, if I said my hand slipped, would you believe me?” Originally, Su Lin planned to gradually improve his relationship with Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan. But after finding out that this world had more than one child of destiny, Su Lin felt that time was not on his side.
He felt he should speed things up a bit and get more rewards; otherwise, if those war gods, dragon kings, and immortal beings really showed up, he would be in a tight spot.
Casually, he used his Appraisal Skill on Xia Shiyu.
