Ye Chuan returned.
He covered his eyes and groped his way back to the sofa, leaving Lan Xiaoke completely bewildered.
"Ye Chuan, what are you doing?"
Ye Chuan kept his eyes closed, his hands fumbling for his phone. After fiddling around for a moment, he asked, "Where is my phone?"
"Your phone is underneath you; that's my backpack."
"It's fine, just checking what's within reach."
After fumbling a bit longer, Ye Chuan pulled his phone out from underneath him. Then, with trembling hands, he slowly opened his eyes—
[Enhancement +15 Human Emperor Banner: Successful!]
The text on the Human Emperor Banner had turned gold. The dazzling +15 number stung Ye Chuan's eyes, making him feel faint, as if he were seeing things.
"Hiss."
Ye Chuan closed his eyes again.
Did my luck actually turn around?
He opened his eyes once more. Seeing that it really was +15, the corner of his mouth twitched first, followed by a wide, ear-to-ear grin. "Heh heh, hahahahaha!"
"Hahahaha, I did it!!!!"
"Hahaha!"
Ye Chuan's sudden burst of laughter stunned Lan Xiaoke, who was sitting nearby. She reached out and touched Ye Chuan's forehead. After confirming he didn't have a fever, she looked even more confused.
"A-are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm great." Ye Chuan looked at his +15 Human Emperor Banner, then glanced at the stats for +16. merely looking at it, he felt pierced by its dazzling allure.
No, do you want to lose it all?
Ye Chuan forced himself to calm down. This time, he really calmed down. To prevent himself from making a mistake, he directly closed the enhancement interface.
At this moment, Ye Chuan was covered in hot sweat. The two consecutive successes just now had given him an unprecedented rush of excitement.
22% of 22%... that's a probability of less than five percent, yet he actually succeeded.
"I feel like with my current combat power, sweeping through the Azure Cloud Sect shouldn't be a problem, right?" Though, to be fair, Ye Chuan didn't know the specifics of the Azure Cloud Sect's foundation.
Surely they couldn't have a Tribulation Transcender, right?
After Ye Chuan had completely settled down, he silently glanced at the Demon Sword Beiyana, which had reset to zero, and then looked at his account balance.
Hmm...
Drained dry.
"I'm broke." Ye Chuan hadn't expected it to cost so much money.
There was no helping it. Fortunately, the money Ye Chuan had on hand was enough to get the Demon Sword Beiyana back up to +10, which would have to suffice for now.
"That's about it. Next, I need to clear the remaining Eerie World and grab a wave of rewards." Ye Chuan felt he was being a bit too diligent.
But he couldn't help it; he was just that hardworking.
[Eerie World — Death Train]
[Note: This adventure world is dangerous and contains special powers. Upon entry, no skills can be used.]
This description was exactly the same as the Aphasia Academy.
Could there be another top-tier red grade treasure inside?
Although it said no skills could be used, in reality, because of Ye Chuan's Chaos Indestructible Body, he could still use them—especially since Ye Chuan's strength was even greater now.
Fortunately, the spatial inventory function was always usable. Just to be safe, Ye Chuan prepared a few extra items for himself.
Things like a revolver with infinite ammo, a hoverboard for aerial flight, and an air cannon for clearing crowds. Seeing a backpack full of weapons, Ye Chuan finally felt he had nothing to worry about.
Besides, he had plenty of weapons, and the forging function allowed him to craft one on the fly if needed.
However, what surprised Ye Chuan was that this time, upon entering the Eerie World, an assistant interface appeared.
[+]
After Ye Chuan saw the plus sign, he tapped on it and found several avatars popping up inside. They were his tenants. He was a bit surprised to see Bai Qianshuang's avatar among them.
I can bring people in?
Is this a team mode?
"But why are they all gray?" Ye Chuan looked at the avatars and found that only Ye Yue and Lan Xiaoke's avatars were in normal color, while Bai Qianshuang and the others were grayed out.
In other words, only his sister and Lan Xiaoke could enter the Eerie World?
Thinking about it carefully, these two did have connections to the Eerie World.
Lan Xiaoke's previous incarnation was a ghost, corresponding to Lan Xiaoke's shop, which was also the place where keys to the Eerie World spawned. Ye Yue, on the other hand, had come out of an Eerie World originally.
"Ye Yue or Lan Xiaoke..."
If that world prohibited the use of skills, Lan Xiaoke would undoubtedly be a burden.
Her combat power was already poor; if she couldn't use skills, wouldn't she be pure cannon fodder?
As for Ye Yue, he wasn't sure about her specific combat power in other Eerie Worlds, but at least with that monster-like physique of hers, it was unlikely she would drag him down.
"In that case, I'll take Ye Yue." Ye Chuan selected Ye Yue, only to find a new prompt popping up.
[Note: This tenant cannot enter. Repelled by eerie power.]
"..." Ye Chuan was rendered speechless. What did that mean? He couldn't take Ye Yue inside?
Then take Lan Xiaoke?
Ye Chuan turned his head to look at Lan Xiaoke. The cowardly girl tilted her head and blinked. "What? Do you want some milk?"
"Forget it, too useless."
Lan Xiaoke: "OvO?!"
What the hell?!
In the end, Ye Chuan chose not to bring anyone and to go in alone.
Whatever. Eerie World, launch!
[Holographic Adventure in progress—]
[Enemy Unit appearing: ?]
[Obtainable Items: Spirit Essence, ???]
[Death Return]
[Danger]
[Special Restrictions: Skills, Spells, Magic, Items... cannot be used. Due to the influence of the Chaos Indestructible Body, most can continue to be used.]
Chaos!
[Special Effect: Under the protection of Lilith Ann, you have ignored the influence of pollution.]
His vision went black, and Ye Chuan's consciousness began to be stripped away.
...
...
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Chuan's consciousness began to gradually clear. At this moment, he couldn't see anything in front of him, but he could hear the sound of a train moving in his ears.
The sound of wheels frictioning against iron rails was rhythmic, though occasionally there was a piercing screech.
As his consciousness sharpened, the scene before him gradually came into focus. Ye Chuan remained silent for a moment, noticing that he was sitting on a seat.
The seat was made of cloth and carried a faint smell of blood and rot. Beside him was a window. The surrounding environment was very dim and permeated with a dark red hue.
The lights overhead flickered on and off, emitting a weak red glow, which was the source of the ambient dark red atmosphere.
Ye Chuan noticed that his spiritual sense couldn't be released; it seemed to be blocked by something. However, this wasn't anything strange.
"..."
Ye Chuan stood up and observed his surroundings. "Is this the Death Train?"
Since he didn't have intelligence on this Eerie World, Ye Chuan chose to observe the surrounding environment first, and the window beside him was the key point—
At this moment, the train was still moving forward. The scenery outside the window was a mass of red-black fog; he couldn't see what was out there at all.
Ye Chuan rubbed his eyes. A sudden stinging pain shot through his brain. When he came back to his senses and looked out the window again, he found a beautiful landscape of mountains and water.
The surrounding red light had also vanished, replaced by a normal train environment.
Ye Chuan: "..."
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
