"Honk!"
In the evening, a ferry's horn echoed across the peaceful sea surface, as waves continuously crashed against the beach. At that moment, a faint sound emerged from an abandoned factory not far from the shoreline.
"Who... who are you?! Do you know who I am?!"
A seductive feminine voice rang out, though filled with endless anger and a hint of spoiled petulance.
"Of course I know who you are, why else would I kidnap you?"
A magnetic voice responded.
In the girl's eyes, she could only see a dark figure emerging from the shadows. Due to the limited lighting, she could barely make out the man's silhouette before her.
"What exactly do you want? Money? Status? I can give you everything, just let me go."
Look at that, rich people always speak with such confidence.
Ye Feng smirked and shook his head, marveling at the worth of a wealthy family's daughter. Just a few words from them could transform an ordinary person into a member of high society.
A regular kidnapper might have agreed, but unfortunately, I'm being forced into this.
Ye Feng paid no attention to what the girl was saying, instead crossing his arms and leaning against the wall, quietly gazing forward. Before his eyes, a blue screen appeared out of nowhere.
[Ding]
[Detecting host task update, evaluating...]
[Ding, task to kidnap young lady Li Mucheng completed, distributing task reward...]
[Reward distributed, please check yourself]
Watching the white text flashing on the screen, Ye Feng finally let out his held breath.
Phew... still alive...
Ah, why did something like this have to happen to me? Ye Feng couldn't help but recall how he first came to this world.
The original Ye Feng from his previous world had recently become obsessed with reading novels, to the point where he died from overwork due to staying up late reading. Through some twist of fate, he crossed over into an unknown world.
At first, he thought it wasn't bad, thinking he might find new novels to read in this unfamiliar world. But when a blue screen appeared before his eyes, he realized he had crossed over like in those novels, and most bizarrely, he had awakened a system.
Normally, this should have been cause for celebration, but when Ye Feng saw his system, he was dumbfounded.
Others got things like the Divine Wealthy System, Destiny Seizing System, or at least something like the Divine Chef System or Divine Doctor System! But what did he get? The Kidnapping System, and worse yet, it specifically targeted girls, making Ye Feng suspect the system was perverted.
Should he reject the system? After all, he didn't want to harm society, and becoming a kidnapper was dangerous - not only would life be unpleasant, but his life would constantly hang by a thread, possibly ending at any moment.
Just as Ye Feng was ready to walk away and blend in with ordinary people, he discovered the system had already issued its first task. He thought he'd just take a look, but what he saw made him freeze - the punishment for failure.
[Failure Punishment: Host Elimination]
[Countdown begins: 168 hours]
Wait... wait! Elimination?! Isn't that basically announcing my death?! This system is forcing me to be a bad person!
Finally, to preserve his life, Ye Feng reluctantly chose to complete the task given by the system.
...
"Hey! Say something!"
The girl's shout broke Ye Feng's train of thought. Now that his life was secure, he finally had the mindset to look at the young lady he had kidnapped.
"Whew..."
Upon seeing the young lady's appearance, Ye Feng was stunned, because the girl before him couldn't simply be described as beautiful - only perfection would suffice.
The young lady had lustrous black hair falling over her smooth shoulders, with beautiful willow-like eyebrows as sexy and elegant as her voice. Most distinctive were her eyes - those clear, deep black orbs were like dazzling lakes. Anyone who saw them would be drawn in by those eyes, as if they possessed infinite magical power.
Yet such a perfectly enchanting girl had one obvious flaw - her figure wasn't quite... impressive?
Perhaps this was what they meant by nobody's perfect.
"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue? Can't even speak anymore?"
Seeing the kidnapper wouldn't harm her, the girl's attitude grew increasingly arrogant, as if in her eyes, this man had begun to fear her.
"You really..."
"Whoosh"
A knife whistled through the air, grazing past the girl's hair before embedding deeply into the wall behind her.
"I don't think you understand your position, Miss Li Mucheng."
Under Li Mucheng's terrified gaze, Ye Feng stepped out from the shadows. His ice-cold eyes pierced into Li Mucheng's heart like icicles, and the typically spoiled girl finally realized her situation.
"Wuu... wuu..."
"Cry! As if crying will buy you time! If you keep crying, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"
"Mmph..."
Hearing Ye Feng's fierce words, Li Mucheng immediately stopped crying, her whole body trembling.
Was I too harsh? Whatever, my task is already complete anyway.
Ye Feng gave Li Mucheng a cold glare, then sat on a nearby crate to check his status.

"Sigh..."
Ye Feng closed the system interface and sighed quietly. Fortunately, the system had given him a newbie package which enabled him to successfully kidnap Li Mucheng. It had taken him a whole two and a half... no.
Six and a half days to intercept Li Mucheng while she was on her way to visit her best friend.
Relying on his combat skills, Ye Feng easily kidnapped Li Mucheng in an almost security-free situation and brought her here. But what puzzled Ye Feng most was that final charm skill.
He had this skill even before opening the newbie package - was it system-default? Or was it a bug? What use was charm for a kidnapper? Most peculiar was its Max level - was he supposed to seduce his way out if caught? What a joke.
What a useless skill! This so-called Kidnapping System is absolutely terrible!
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)

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
