The most troublesome surnames in novels are Lin, Su, Gu, Shen, Bai, Li, Ye...
And the protagonist of this book happens to be surnamed Lin.
Vindictive and petty, he's a true villain.
He was seen walking briskly towards them, dressed in a security guard uniform.
Xu Mo internally mocked the lines he was about to say.
[Damn it, hurry up and recite your lines.]
[Didn't Xu Mo tell you not to bother Miss Shen? Did you take my words as mere wind in your ears?]
Shen Manni looked at Xu Mo in confusion.
She began to doubt Xu Mo's words in her heart.
In the end, Shen Manni decided she must be overthinking things.
All of this was just Xu Mo's imagination running wild.
But in the next moment, Lin Fan spoke:
"Didn't Xu Mo tell you not to bother Miss Shen? Did you take my words as mere wind in your ears?"
[Impressive, as expected of the protagonist. His audacity is truly unmatched.]
[Challenging heaven, earth, and even the air, truly a walking pile-driving war god.]
Xu Mo concealed his excitement and recited his own lines.
"Lin Fan, know your place. You're just a lowly security guard. What right do you have to yell at me? Don't you know I could have you fired in a minute?"
[Haha... My job was given by Miss Shen, not by your Xu family. Can your influence reach that far?]
Under Shen Manni's bewildered gaze,
Lin Fan's expression turned disdainful as he repeated Xu Mo's inner thoughts word for word: "Haha... My job was given by Miss Shen, not by your Xu family. Can your influence reach that far?"
Xu Mo's face showed anger as he continued reciting his lines.
"Listen here, Lin. Today is the day I confess to Manni. Don't let any stray cats or dogs bark here."
[Hmph... Miss Shen doesn't like you. Be sensible and go back to your fiancée.]
Lin Fan: "Hmph... Miss Shen doesn't like you. Be sensible and go back to your fiancée!"
Xu Mo continued arguing with Lin Fan.
The former was doing it to fulfill the plot requirements, while the latter saw an opportunity to play the hero and rescue Shen Manni from Xu Mo's pestering.
He wanted to display his masculinity, step forward, and actively help Shen Manni out of the awkward situation!
To leave an excellent impression on her.
This was also written by the hack author
Because the antagonist often bothers the female lead as a simp, and Shen Manni, who was the female lead in the previous text, coincidentally saw that the protagonist had some good qualities and hired him as a security guard.
Mainly because others didn't dare to stop Xu Mo.
But Lin Fan dared to stop Xu Mo!
The protagonist intercepting the antagonist, isn't this the most normal plot development?
But Shen Manni, being a character in the book, didn't know this and thought Lin Fan was just braver than others.
Even in the original story, Shen Manni asked Lin Fan to pretend to be her boyfriend to cut off Xu Mo's advances.
This is a worn-out trope commonly used in power fantasy novels about war gods and dragon kings.
Back to Shen Manni.
At this moment, it was as if a muffled thunder had exploded in Shen Manni's mind!
This thunder not only stunned her.
It even overturned her worldview.
Being able to accurately predict what Lin Fan would say once,
Shen Manni could still consider it a lucky guess, a coincidence.
She could barely persuade herself for the second time.
But the third time, the fourth time... the seventh time...
This explanation became rather far-fetched!
It couldn't be explained clearly anymore.
Recalling what Xu Mo had said in his heart earlier,
Shen Manni's delicate body trembled imperceptibly, and she murmured in a voice only she could hear:
"Is everything before my eyes truly an illusion?"
"Is this just a fictional world?"
"And as the female lead, will I end up falling in love with this man, Lin Fan?"
[Here it comes, one of the protagonist's most iconic moves -- the devilish smile]
[This stupid woman Shen Manni is conquered by this smile, haha... It's killing me]
Lin Fan suddenly felt someone staring at him, and this gaze came from Shen Manni.
He looked over and found Shen Manni was indeed focusing on him.
So Lin Fan couldn't help but slightly curl the corner of his mouth, revealing what he thought was a charming smile.
"Don't worry, Miss Shen. With me here, I absolutely won't let this guy touch a single hair on your head!"
"Ugh---"
If she hadn't heard Xu Mo's inner thoughts,
Shen Manni would have felt Lin Fan's smile was nothing special.
Although a bit unusual, it was still within the realm of understandable.
But now, looking at it, good heavens, is this a smile a normal person can make?
Faced with Lin Fan's confident smile,
Shen Manni felt a churning in her stomach, as if gastric juices were about to flow from her stomach to her throat, giving her the urge to retch.
At this moment, unbeknownst to the two, the happiest person was Xu Mo.
His many snarky comments had finally paid off!
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: Ancient Martial Arts Technique - Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth!"
"You have mastered it!"
Xu Mo was elated, as a series of soft cracking sounds came from his bones. These changes could only be felt by him as the person involved.
The small belly on his abdomen visibly receded.
In its place appeared six-pack abs and perfect V-lines!
His strength also increased somewhat.
Although it wasn't an offensive Ancient Martial Arts Technique,
At least now Xu Mo didn't have to worry about feeling pain while acting out his role.
Ancient Martial Arts existed in this world as well.
It's just that only a small number of people knew about them.
As for Lin Fan, being the protagonist, he had saved an old man outside who took him as a disciple and taught him a set of Ancient Martial Arts Techniques, allowing him to become a dominant war god.
In other words, his cheat code was the old grandpa.
Xu Mo's cheat code was the artificial idio-- ahem, artificial intelligence system.
That's how Xu Mo distinguished between them.
"Fine, you won't leave? Then don't blame me for teaching you a lesson!"
Lin Fan said angrily.
As a war god, no one had ever dared to defy him!
Abroad, he could have his assassin corps kill rich second-generation heirs like this without hesitation!
He could even do it personally!
It's just that this time it was in China, and he had just returned without establishing a firm foothold, so he had many reservations.
However, teaching Xu Mo a lesson was still doable!
As long as he didn't cause any fatalities.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
