"Shen Yu???"
The moment Ye Mengyao caught sight of Shen Yu, she nearly exploded with rage!
Unlike Qin Qiaoqiao, her impression of this woman was far from favorable.
Back then, when she had struggled with a problem and approached Shen Yu for help, all she got in return was a dismissive "You're too stupid!"
Those four words—"You're too stupid"—were like a dagger to the pride of a haughty young lady like her.
"Ye Mengyao! Classmates should get along and not pick fights with each other..."
Jiang Che's voice reached Ye Mengyao's ears.
Damn it~~~
Ye Mengyao clenched her delicate fists.
[Hmph, I thought you were some aloof ice queen, but you're just another sly fox.]
She shot a glance at Shen Yu's flimsy nightgown and gritted her teeth.
"Alright, alright, you're both girls. What conflict can't be resolved? If it really comes down to it, I'll step in and mediate!"
With one arm around Ye Mengyao and the other around Shen Yu, Jiang Che pulled them both close.
Ye Mengyao panicked. By now, she was something of an "old hand" and could easily read between the lines of Jiang Che's words.
Ugh, there was no way she'd ever agree to... with this vixen!
"Sigh~"
Jiang Che exhaled dramatically. Clearly, it was up to him, the professional mediator, to save the day.
Just then, the system's voice chimed in.
[Ding! The luck of the 'Son of Destiny,' Ye Liangchen, has fluctuated. Host receives 1000 points.]
[Ding! The luck of the 'Son of Destiny,' Ye Liangchen, has been severed.]
[Overall rating: S-tier. Host receives rewards: Source Code of the Ultimate Show-Off System, Epic Treasure Chest.]
Jiang Che frowned. "Who the hell is Ye Liangchen?"
For a moment, he couldn’t even recall who this guy was.
[Ding! Friendly reminder from the system: Ye Liangchen, the 'Son of Destiny,' was bound to the 'Ultimate Show-Off System.' As long as he showed off, he grew stronger.]
Jiang Che was still baffled. He only knew of this "Son of Destiny" in passing, but having always operated from the shadows, he’d never actually met Ye Liangchen.
Naturally, he had no idea the guy even had an "Ultimate Show-Off System."
"But it doesn’t matter anymore. Brother Qiang will handle it."
Jiang Che had full confidence in Brother Qiang’s abilities. So far... every "Son of Destiny" who fell into Brother Qiang’s hands underwent a thorough "rehabilitation" in no time.
...
Meanwhile, in a dimly lit basement somewhere.
After a full month of relentless torment, the "stock market prodigy," Qin Tian, had finally broken.
This was no life for a human being!
Beside him, Ye Liangchen had also completed his descent into darkness.
[Ding! Host has pulled off a deranged act. Reward: 3 days' worth of inner energy.]
Ye Liangchen scratched his head. "What the hell is this chattering in my ears?"
[...]
[Ding! System detects host lacks the will to show off. Initiating automatic unbinding...]
[Beep beep beep! Unbinding failed! Detected unknown virus intrusion!!! System activating emergency defenses!!!]
[Ding! System defenses breached. Forced unbinding in progress...]
A flash of red light flickered as Ye Liangchen’s system desperately resisted some unspeakable force—only to be utterly crushed, falling silent forever.
"Liangchen, what are you doing? Focus."
Brother Qiang’s deep voice rang out, snapping Ye Liangchen back to reality. Just hearing that voice now sent shivers down his spine.
"Brother Qiang, there was just some mosquito buzzing in my ear!"
"There’s no way a mosquito could be here. Now that I’ve reached the Grandmaster realm, no living thing can escape my senses."
The icy voice belonged to Lin Yu, the first "Son of Destiny" to embrace the darkness.
That’s right—Lin Yu, now fully corrupted, had ascended to the rank of Grandmaster!
"Darkness amplifies power tenfold; redemption weakens it by three."
It was almost unbelievable. In less than a year, Lin Yu had gone from the early stages of Dark Force to Grandmaster—a pace that put most "Sons of Destiny" to shame.
Though his path to power had been... unconventional, to say the least.
......
With Jiang Che’s intervention as mediator, the conflict between Shen Yu and Ye Mengyao was quickly resolved.
In Jiang Che’s world, there was no such thing as an irreconcilable dispute between girls.
At the dining table...
Shen Yu ate her meal in small, delicate bites. In just one day, her entire worldview had been shattered.
Though she was naturally reserved, she still understood propriety and shame—yet today, all sense of shame had been tossed aside.
Still, Jiang Che’s cooking was undeniably delicious. Exhausted from the day’s... activities, Shen Yu was starving. She lowered her head and shoveled another big bite into her mouth.
[You damn pervert, always flirting with women. I hope you get an STD.]
[No, no—I shouldn’t curse him with that. Better to wish for erectile dysfunction. Ugh...]
Jiang Che sat at the head of the table, exuding the aura of a household patriarch.
His daily life was monotonous and dull: jogging in Yu Wan’er’s size-38 shoes, training with Chen Ningshuang, or indulging in a round of "Stir-Fried Little Fish."
But Shen Yu was new here. Even Yu Wan’er’s stamina now surpassed hers.
Weak constitution meant... life under Jiang Che’s roof would be even more grueling.
The key to perfecting "Stir-Fried Little Fish" lay in high-heat cooking!
Three days later, Shen Yu cracked.
"Jiang Che, I’m going home."
She confronted him with a stern face, but there was no way Jiang Che would let her off so easily.
"Oh? Little Yu, are you scared?"
"You want me to let you go? Fine... I’ll release you the moment you fall for me."
Propping his chin on one hand, Jiang Che smirked, fully embracing his role as the shameless rogue.
"I don’t know how to 'fall for someone.' Being with you doesn’t stir anything in my heart."
Shen Yu spoke bluntly. For any man, those words would be a crushing blow.
But Jiang Che understood—this was just who Shen Yu was. The concept of "love" simply didn’t exist in her emotional vocabulary. Did anyone really think "absolute rationality" was just a joke?
She could react. She could even feel desire. But her heart remained untouched.
Even if the most handsome man in the world stood before her... the outcome would be the same.
Yet Jiang Che refused to accept that. The greater the challenge, the sweeter the victory.
Shen Yu? She was his. And not even Jesus could change that.
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
spital. Good news: I've bound a system. Bad news: I'm still a baby. "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the middle-aged for being poor — Divorce Comeback System." "Your marriage may have failed, but your luck in love has never run dry. Your childhood sweetheart, out of contact for twenty years, reappears. Her beauty remains, yet her eyes are brimming with tears." [Listen to the childhood sweetheart's sorrowful story.] Chen Zhi looked down at the diaper he was wearing, then at the little childhood sweetheart crying her heart out beside him, and fell into deep thought. Can anyone relate? I'm having a midlife crisis at an age where even rolling over is a struggle.
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)
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
