"You..." Shen Yan was somewhat dumbfounded.
"Are you implying women can only be pretty vases? I hate guys like you the most, always bringing gender into everything! You all think I'm easy to bully, right? And that guy surnamed Fang, so what if I deliberately provoked him into going? He deserved it!" Zhao Manqi's pent-up emotions over the past days suddenly erupted.
Before her phone broke, she had been besieged by netizens, almost completely isolated. Then she was fired by her company. Later, even going out to buy groceries, she was recognized and teased. Although she knew she wasn't some radical feminist, after all this, she felt everything was Fang Zhiyi's fault! That man actually accused her of pestering him!
Shen Yan's expression turned ugly. First, he was stunned by the scolding, then he realized one thing: the origin of all this was the woman before him! If she hadn't gotten that guy into his school, he wouldn't have ended up a wandering ghost!
After her outburst, Zhao Manqi calmed down a bit and finally remembered that the being in front of her was a ghost.
Seeing Shen Yan's grim expression,
she backed down: "Sorry, I wasn't talking about you... I, I've been getting so much hate, I just couldn't hold it in anymore..."
Shen Yan caught sight of Zhao Manqi's notes out of the corner of his eye and could only suppress his anger: "It's fine. They actually dared to curse at you? They really deserve to die."
Zhao Manqi's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected to hear someone side with her for the first time, even if it was a ghost.
"You think so too?" She was pleased, but soon her mood dipped again. "But I don't know what to do now. I'm even afraid to leave the house."
Shen Yan looked at her: "Your current direction of study is correct. You should continue."
Zhao Manqi smiled bitterly: "I want to, but I'm human. I need to eat and drink, right? Can you conjure up money?" She sounded somewhat hopeful.
Shen Yan just thought she was a bit foolish, but his face remained gentle: "I don't have that ability, but you could..." He thought for a moment. "How about starting a livestream?"
Zhao Manqi shook her head repeatedly: "My phone is broken. And, they're all attacking me now. If I go live, wouldn't I be worse off? Besides, I don't have anything to stream."
Shen Yan persuaded her: "You could stream séances."
Zhao Manqi looked at him, puzzled.
Shen Yan had already figured it out: "You livestream conducting séances, showcase your abilities. I'll help you."
"But those people cursing me..."
Shen Yan answered word by word: "I will handle them for you."
Zhao Manqi's eyes gradually brightened.
Seeing her dazed look, Shen Yan remembered that terrifying figure again, the fear that made his very soul tremble. This feeling filled him with shame.
It's fine. This girl has decent talent. As long as I attach myself to her and slowly absorb the yin energy of other ghosts, I can grow stronger... When the time comes, teaming up with this girl to eliminate Fang Zhiyi might not be impossible!
But when Zhao Manqi started her livestream, Shen Yan was taken aback.
She really wasn't lying. So many people were cursing her? How many would he have to kill?
Shen Yan wasn't stupid. If he killed on a large scale, it would inevitably attract more powerful spiritualists, not to mention the ghost guards from the other world.
He stared at the screen, troubled.
Maybe just forget it? So what if I got scared off? It's not like I can't accept it...
Shen Yan was no fool; even as a ghost, he remained clever.
But just as he slipped out of the building, he was suddenly dragged back to Zhao Manqi's side by a powerful force in an instant.
Zhao Manqi and he stared at each other, wide-eyed.
"What did you do?"
"Where did you go?"
The human and the ghost asked simultaneously.
"Too many people were cursing. I couldn't out-curse them so I ended the stream. I happened to see the talisman that summoned you yesterday and started studying it."
Shen Yan looked down at the talisman. He couldn't understand it either, but the next moment he saw the blood on it.
"What is this???"
Zhao Manqi sounded a bit aggrieved: "I was so angry earlier, I smashed a cup and accidentally cut my hand."
Shen Yan felt a sense of helplessness, especially when he tried to slip away again and was quickly dragged back. He understood: Zhao Manqi's accidentally spilled blood seemed to have formed some kind of bond with him.
Bearing it again and again, Shen Yan finally quelled the fury in his heart.
"This crazy woman! She even dares to send me a private message? Is she worthy?" Zhao Manqi muttered, picking up her phone and starting to tap the screen.
Watching her, Shen Yan began to understand. This woman was no feminist; she was the type who lashed out at anyone who crossed her. Shen Yan's eyes were full of disdain.
"Hey, you said you'd help me deal with things. Can you deal with her?" Zhao Manqi tossed her phone in front of Shen Yan.
Shen Yan looked down.
Little Peach Doesn't Eat Sugar: "I think everyone just wants a sincere apology from you. You don't need to be so agitated. Anchor Fang's death really is related to you."
Looking at Zhao Manqi's reply, Shen Yan was shocked. The astonishing vocabulary was enough to fill a whole book of profanity.
As mentioned before, Shen Yan wasn't dumb. He had killed over twenty people in his lifetime, and he spent a full three months planning that murder spree.
"I can help you, but you have to promise to listen to me from now on."
Zhao Manqi hesitantly agreed. She could feel Shen Yan's oppressive aura. This wasn't through a screen; if she really angered Shen Yan, she would surely suffer.
So Zhao Manqi began her livestreams. She forced herself not to read the comments, only explaining some key points and tricks of spiritual communication in front of the camera. When she encountered something she didn't understand, Shen Yan would quietly tell her.
Zhao Manqi hadn't expected that, even while being cursed at, she would receive some gifts. For her, on the brink of running out of resources, this was a godsend!
Zhao Manqi experienced the joy of being a streamer for the first time. After ending her stream, she began to diligently study those materials. With Shen Yan by her side now, she could ask questions anytime she didn't understand, and her comprehension of spiritual communication progressed rapidly.
Shen Yan, however, understood one principle clearly.
"Infamy is still fame."
Zhao Manqi's goal was to make money, and that wasn't difficult.
Thus, the two protagonists began to advance the plot in a strange way.
"I've finished studying. You said you'd help me vent my anger!" Many days later, Zhao Manqi ended her stream. The situation had improved somewhat; the ratio of people cursing her and people watching her was about half and half, but she still remembered that whole affair.
Shen Yan's eyes turned icy: "Fine."
But halfway through flying off, Shen Yan was dragged back to Zhao Manqi's side again.
Zhao Manqi stared at him. He stared at Zhao Manqi.
"You have to come with me."
"Huh?"
Shen Yan really wanted to slap her, but he held back.
Little Peach Doesn't Eat Sugar was also a small-time blogger. She didn't livestream but usually posted videos about planting flowers and vegetables. With just a simple analysis, Shen Yan figured out her address.
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
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."
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system?
