Turn bad luck into... avoiding good luck?
Ye Cheng: "???"
Ye Cheng blinked in disbelief. He took another good look at the quest "reward" in front of him. After confirming he hadn't misread and it was indeed "avoiding good luck when facing danger," his hanging heart finally died.
In other words, if he encountered something unlucky or dangerous, it would automatically unlock a super multiplier, right?
Isn't this just a black coffin of dead luck!
Where the hell did this bring me?
Seemingly a multiple-choice question with two options, but actually a single-choice one. Ye Cheng had encountered this kind of situation many times and wasn't panicked at all. It was just that seeing this "avoiding good luck" thing really made him lose his composure.
It meant that if his eyes blurred for even a second, he would be dead meat, right?
Damn it!
Son of a bitch!
Ye Cheng cursed in his heart. After a round of classic national profanities, he finally looked at the other quest reward... Foresight?
Was it the foresight he was thinking of?
It shouldn't be wrong, right?
Ye Cheng carefully examined it to confirm that the damn cheat wasn't playing some scammy word games. Only then did he put away the panel in front of him, his brain spinning wildly to find a way to fool the eldest miss.
He didn't even need to think; the first quest was definitely a trap.
Although the system was scammy, it was at least straightforward. The quest reward practically stated that choosing it meant death. His brain wasn't broken, so how could he choose it?
Besides, Ye Cheng didn't dare mention the cancer thing. Just lying in the hospital for half a day had the ward packed like dumplings in a pot. If he had cancer, wouldn't it be a disaster?
Did he still want to live?
"Crack!"
Ye Cheng: "???"
Why did it feel like... his fingers were hurting?
Ye Cheng looked down and realized that at some point, the eldest miss had grabbed his fingers and was relentlessly bending them.
This was the punishment for not speaking!
Ye Cheng: "..."
The eldest miss was indeed quite sinister. Her facial expression was normal, her eyes were calm, even showing concern, but her hands were doing whatever they wanted without being affected at all. Wasn't this sinister?
"Miss Shen, you seem to be bullying him..."
Lin Baizhi, who had been acting as a "pendant" on the side for a long time, finally spoke up. She really couldn't stand it anymore. A certain problem child was actually bullying her brother like this!
Shen Qinghan stopped bending Ye Cheng's Teletubby-style fingers, frowned slightly, and looked at the "stranger" in front of her.
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
The attack power was quite high; the eldest miss equally elbowed everyone around her!
Lin Baizhi was already mentally prepared and wasn't afraid of even harsher words: "Whether it has anything to do with me isn't important. Even if it doesn't, it doesn't change the fact that you, Miss Shen, are bullying someone."
Lin Baizhi smiled and repeated what she just said.
Damn problem child!
Silently, Shen Qinghan turned her head to look at Ye Cheng and calmly asked, "Am I bullying you?"
Applying force, applying force, applying force...
Ye Cheng: "..."
Eldest miss, you...
Ye Cheng was very "righteous" and nodded without being threatened at all, stating: "No!"
Lin Baizhi: "..."
The smile on Lin Baizhi's face stiffened. It felt like she had been stabbed in the heart again. She could accept Shen Qinghan's harsh words, but she couldn't accept her own brother standing on another woman's side to bully her together.
This is too much, brother, you are too much. I'm not going to talk to you for a whole day... half a day, half an hour, half a minute...
Forget it.
Silently, Lin Baizhi pinned this debt on Shen Qinghan. It was all because of this damn problem child. Her brother would never treat her like this before; the two of them were the absolute best in the world!
The jealousy in Lin Baizhi's eyes was quickly suppressed: "Miss Shen, if you say no, then I suppose it's no."
Lin Baizhi stopped arguing with Shen Qinghan. Her brother was currently acting against his will, being held hostage. If she continued to argue now, it would be somewhat insensible of her.
She needed to be magnanimous. She wouldn't stoop to the level of a problem child. At most, they just had a "classmate relationship," nothing to fear.
As long as the Old Hag wasn't here, she was invincible!
Lin Baizhi walked to the other side of Ye Cheng, sat on a stool, and mirroring the eldest miss's action, grabbed Ye Cheng's Teletubby-style paw without any hesitation.
The difference was, compared to the eldest miss's "violent joystick," Lin Baizhi was much, much gentler, even directly placing his hand on her own lap.
By the way, the golden triangle zone of knee-high socks and a short skirt...
Shen Qinghan narrowed her eyes, her face darkening considerably.
"Get out." Shen Qinghan's voice was slightly cold, directly using a commanding tone.
Lin Baizhi pretended not to hear and continued doing what she was doing. She looked at Ye Cheng with a concerned face: "Classmate, how did you get like this? I'll feel heartbroken seeing you like this."
Ye Cheng: "..."
Sis, why do your words feel so green-tea-ish?
As Lin Baizhi spoke, she pulled Ye Cheng's hand closer to her embrace. Ye Cheng's eyes widened into circles, while the corners of Lin Baizhi's mouth curled up wildly.
"Crack, crack..."
Ye Cheng: "..."
Why did it feel painful again?
"Slap!"
Shen Qinghan's patience seemed to have reached its limit. She stood up and slapped Lin Baizhi's paw, her face cold: "Get out!"
Her voice was no longer as calm as before, carrying a hint of anger. The fluctuation was obvious; in short... she was triggered.
"Hiss..." Lin Baizhi took a solid hit, but she didn't let go of Ye Cheng's hand. A red mark had already appeared on the back of her fair hand.
The eldest miss didn't use a lot of strength, but Lin Baizhi had the kind of physique that bruised easily, making it look like the eldest miss's slap was very forceful.
She instantly switched from the evil Little Green Tea to the pitiful Sister Lin account. She shrank back a bit, her eyes carrying a hint of stubbornness as she hugged Ye Cheng's hand in front of her, looking defiantly at Shen Qinghan.
"I didn't do anything wrong, why should I get out? The classmate himself hasn't said anything... I'm not leaving."
Lin Baizhi's voice was stubborn. Hugging Ye Cheng's hand, she showed no intention of letting go, but instead continued to provoke the eldest miss.
If only she could go even further.
Shen Qinghan narrowed her eyes to carefully examine Lin Baizhi in front of her. Her chest, slightly inferior to the Student Council President's, heaved slightly. At this moment, violently solving the problem seemed to be the optimal solution, right?
Moreover, looking at Lin Baizhi's physique, she made a simple judgment... she could win in a fight!
There weren't many people the eldest miss could beat in a fight, but coincidentally, Lin Baizhi was one of them.
Without wasting words, Shen Qinghan stood up from the stool, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to go over and fight Lin Baizhi.
Ye Cheng: "???"
Holy crap, the eldest miss was pushed to this point!
Ye Cheng's eyes widened into circles. He had to admit that Lin Baizhi really had some skills; her green tea acts had reached perfection.
If it were before, Shen Qinghan would have simply ignored such green tea-filled remarks. Now... she just wanted to throw punches wildly.
"Forget it, forget it, eldest miss. It's not easy for anyone, calm down..." Ye Cheng hurriedly sat up and grabbed the eldest miss.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
The Eldest Miss, whose rage meter had just been maxed out, instantly dropped her anger to zero. She stopped and stared unblinkingly at Ye Cheng. Her eyes were unusually calm, showing absolutely no sign of losing her temper.
Her scrutinizing gaze seemed to see right through something!
Ye Cheng's heart skipped a beat. He gulped, looking at the Eldest Miss in front of him in disbelief...
Eldest Miss, you were testing me!
Ye Cheng had previously acted half-dead and had already survived one test without falling for it. But this time the situation was urgent, looking like a live-action octagon cage match was about to break out in the hospital room... and Ye Cheng had finally taken the bait.
Even if it was just for a split second, it was enough for Shen Qinghan to confirm exactly how well Ye Cheng's body had recovered.
It was definitely not the frail state they had just witnessed!
So... Ye Cheng was lying to them!
The moment their eyes met, the hospital room fell into an eerie silence that lasted for several seconds. Lin Baizhi, who was still acting pitiful and scared on the side, frowned.
What was going on?
Shouldn't the problem child come over and hit her now, so she could play the victim, win sympathy, and then use that sympathy to make some unreasonable demands of her brother, naturally deepening their relationship in the process...
Wasn't that how it was supposed to go?
Why did it suddenly stop?
It was a bizarre mutual understanding; both the Eldest Miss and Ye Cheng implicitly knew what was up. The only one left in the dark was Lin Baizhi. What exactly was happening? Say something!
Lin Baizhi absolutely hated this feeling. Someone actually had a little secret with her brother right in front of her face. Then what was she?!
Her brother was hers. Other people having secrets with him was unacceptable!
Lin Baizhi felt like she was being cucked right to her face. It was even more unbearable than eavesdropping at the door. The pain had already surpassed that time at home when she saw a certain leftover woman lying in the same bed with her brother on a video call.
My pain is greater than yours!
Shen Qinghan gave Ye Cheng a meaningful look, sat down, and ignored the Little Green Tea on the side. She continued to stare unblinkingly at Ye Cheng, waiting for the sky to turn completely dark.
Ye Cheng: ...
I'm probably done for.
Mission completed, rewards distributed!
Ye Cheng: ???
Ye Cheng's heart sank halfway. The next moment, the twisted black text appeared once again, leaving Ye Cheng's head full of question marks.
What the hell, he hadn't even started doing anything yet, how was the mission completed?
Quickly reviewing the situation, Ye Cheng found the key point. So... the Eldest Miss had confirmed his body was recovering well, determined there were no major issues with him, and gave up on interrogating him and drawing blood for tests?
Did this count as successfully hiding it?
It refreshed Ye Cheng's understanding. Even though the mission was complete... for some reason, Ye Cheng couldn't bring himself to smile at all.
So, the fact that he was faking his illness was now known by the Eldest Miss, right?
Then what's the point of living, might as well just jump!
Suddenly, the world in Ye Cheng's eyes began to change. The Eldest Miss sitting motionless in front of him sprouted a bubble over her head, like a dialogue box.
Ye Cheng: ???
Is this... foresight?
[Name: Ye Cheng]
[Gender: Male]
[IQ: 9 (A wild genius about to super-evolve, about to reach the pinnacle of humanity)]
[Charm: 9~10 (Charm points automatically deducted for bizarre behavior)]
[Physique: 9 (Peak of an ordinary human)]
[Physical Condition: Photographic memory, fleet-footed, mid-stage cancer, supreme muscle definition, human limits, foresight!]
Ye Cheng: ???
So... is he a Digimon?
Otherwise, why could he super-evolve?
IQ could actually increase?
Wait, could it be because of that human limits and master skills stuff he got earlier?
Ye Cheng was puzzled for a moment before his brain finally gave up thinking. Whatever, it's a system, who needs science? If we're really talking science, then explain to me why a certain madam could easily twist a stool made of refined iron into a pretzel?
Is she even human?
Wait, could the madam be...
Ye Cheng hurriedly rummaged through his own entries, and then his eyes lit up as he found the one remaining chance he had left from before!
[Remaining Entry Views: 1]
He had almost forgotten about this thing since it had been sitting there for so long. It was a pretty buggy ability. To verify his guess, Ye Cheng decided to use this precious last chance on a certain madam.
After all... a certain madam really didn't look like a human.
Gathering his thoughts, Ye Cheng stretched out his Teletubby-like hand and gently poked the top of the Eldest Miss's head... or more accurately, poked the bubble next to it.
Pop~
The bubble burst!
Intermittent images began to appear... foresight!
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.”
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
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."
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)
