"Holy shit!"
"He actually held out?"
Lin Yu stared at the message Xue Hu had sent him, struggling to process it. He’d been certain the Black Blood Gang was done for—no way they could’ve survived. Yet somehow, they’d managed to stabilize their position. That old fox Li Yuan had kept a trump card hidden until now?
Damn, he really knew how to play the long game.
After silently reminding himself not to underestimate anyone, Lin Yu tapped out a reply to Xue Hu.
Long Aotian: "Bro Xue Hu, can you do me a favor?"
Xue Hu: "What favor?"
Long Aotian: "Remember that guy I asked you to deal with before? He’s still causing trouble. This time, I want him put down for good—or at least in a way that makes it impossible for him to stir shit up again."
Xue Hu: "?"
Xue Hu: "He’s already in that state and it’s still not enough?"
Long Aotian: "..."
Long Aotian: "Not really. The guy’s got the survival instincts of a cockroach."
Xue Hu: "..."
Xue Hu: "Right now, the gang’s survival is hanging by a thread. I can’t make calls like this. Hold on, let me check with Brother Yuan."
"Great."
Lin Yu smacked his forehead in frustration. If Li Yuan got involved, there was a 99.9% chance this would go nowhere. That guy wouldn’t lift a finger to help unless pigs could fly.
Ding.
The message alert sounded. Lin Yu glanced down, expecting nothing.
Xue Hu: "OK."
???
Lin Yu barely registered the question marks exploding in his mind before he whipped his head toward the window, scanning the barren tree hollows in the schoolyard. His gaze swept further out, searching the distant treeline.
Not a single flying pig in sight.
He turned back to the message, stunned.
No way.
Did Xue Hu mean to type "NO" but messed up because of his poor literacy?
Lin Yu considered it, then dismissed the idea. But then again, the thought of Li Yuan actually agreeing to help was even more absurd.
Just to be sure, he fired off another message.
Long Aotian: "So… Uncle Li agreed?"
Xue Hu: "Brother Yuan didn’t respond. The new third-in-command said he’d handle it for you."
Xue Hu: "Said you did him a solid once, so he’ll take care of it."
???
New third-in-command?
Did him a favor?
Lin Yu frowned, turning the possibilities over in his head until a name surfaced.
Zhao She?
If anyone owed him, it’d be Zhao She.
Yeah.
Had to be him.
No one else fit.
No way the Black Blood Gang’s third-in-command was Tang Manman or Xia Muzhu.
Xia Yueshan? Even less likely.
Zhao Dahu?
Pfft.
Xia Yueshan had better odds of becoming third-in-command than that guy.
Zhao She was something else.
Lin Yu couldn’t help but admire him—not just for climbing the ranks so fast, but for pulling the nearly collapsed Black Blood Gang back together.
He’d given them a fighting chance.
After replying to Xue Hu with a simple acknowledgment, Lin Yu pocketed his phone, his mood complicated.
Who’d have thought his last resort would somehow align with his first choice?
Come to think of it…
That night, Zhao She had asked him about his relationship with Li Yuan, the gang’s leader. Lin Yu had said it wasn’t good.
Zhao She had rubbed his hands together, grinning like he’d just won the lottery.
Lin Yu had assumed it was some personal grudge against Li Yuan. But instead, Zhao She had turned around and become the man’s right-hand man.
So why had he been so happy to hear Lin Yu and Li Yuan didn’t get along?
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
