"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!
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years."

"Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh.

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?"
