The Path to Kingship?
Interesting.
Qin Luo closed the panel. This series of quests had only appeared twice before.
Once was for recruiting talent.
Another was for taking over all the forces in Jiang City.
And this time... it was about unifying all the cities of the Eastern Kingdom?
The Path to Kingship, as the name suggested.
Qin Luo glanced at Su Muwan, who had just finished complaining and was now sitting down, happily eating barbecue.
A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
This was about making Su Muwan... a king!
"Chomp chomp chomp."
"Mm!? Qin Luo, this is so good! Come over here!"
"Of course, Miss."
"Huh? Qin Luo, your expression looks a bit off."
"Well... I was just thinking about what would happen if Miss really unified Cherry Blossom City."
"?? That's dangerous thinking! Don't think about it again!"
...
...
Inside the Alliance Hospital in Cherry Blossom City.
An elderly man lay on the hospital bed, wearing a respirator. By his bedside, law enforcement officers like Kichikawa Shunta had tears in their eyes.
The man lying on the bed was Mizukubo Isamu, the head of the Cherry Blossom City branch of the Alliance.
But now, his life was hanging by a thread.
"Shunta..."
Mizukubo Isamu spoke hoarsely, his eyes barely open as he forced a smile. "You said... Su Muwan and Qin Luo from Jiang City are here?"
Kichikawa Shunta quickly stepped forward, tightly gripping the old man's hand, and cried out, "Chief! You must hold on!!!! Please don't die!!!"
Mizukubo Isamu chuckled.
Then.
Thud!!
He sat up abruptly and punched Kichikawa Shunta on the head, yanking off his respirator as he scolded, "Didn't I tell you this was all an act for the yakuza to see?!"
"Why are you crying now?!"
Kichikawa Shunta was stunned. He wiped his tears, coughed lightly, and laughed awkwardly, "My apologies, I got too into the role..."
After a moment of silence.
Mizukubo Isamu sat up straight, leaning against the headboard, and rubbed his sore shoulders. "So, Su Muwan and Qin Luo from Jiang City are really here?"
Kichikawa Shunta nodded repeatedly. "Yes, they're just here for tourism."
As soon as he finished speaking.
The atmosphere in the room shifted instantly.
Mizukubo Isamu's eyes narrowed, and he shook his head. "No, no, no. If you think that way, you're underestimating Su Muwan and the others."
Underestimating Su Muwan?!
Kichikawa Shunta was taken aback, then sat down seriously to listen to the chief's teachings.
"I've seen footage of Su Muwan in battle. She's domineering and utterly arrogant."
"On her very first day in Cherry Blossom City, she triggered a murder case. So, her purpose for coming here is definitely not just for fun!"
"Uh... but she wasn't the actual perpetrator."
"You're wrong."
Mizukubo Isamu took a deep breath and looked directly at Kichikawa Shunta, speaking gravely, "She may not be the murderer, but because of her arrival, that murder case became an inevitable event."
"You should have heard my granddaughter's analysis when we watched the [Su Muwan Battle Compilation], right?"
"That Su Muwan... she's a walking disaster!!"
Mizukugi Kiyoshi was Mizukubo Isamu's granddaughter.
According to Mizukubo Isamu's own boasts, she was a spirit medium.
Whether that was true or not, no one present had actually seen her exorcise any spirits.
"So... Chief, what you're saying is..."
Kichikawa Shunta's expression showed a hint of nervousness. "Should I go beg them tomorrow to return to Jiang City and not bring disaster to Cherry Blossom City?"
"Idiot!"
Mizukubo Isamu cursed angrily. He glared at Kichikawa Shunta, exasperated, and said, "Since headquarters doesn't care about the yakuza expanding their territory."
"Or even about our branch being infiltrated by the yakuza, claiming it's for the good development of the martial era!"
"Then..."
"We might as well fight poison with poison!!!"
"Instead of letting those evil yakuza unify Cherry Blossom City, why not..."
Mizukubo Isamu clenched his fist and said, "Let Su Muwan unify it instead! At least my granddaughter went to Jiang City and found that the order there is well-managed. She even got a share of an opportunity!"
"An opportunity?"
"Yes, an ancient ruin appeared in Jiang City. Under Su Muwan's leadership, there were no conflicts. Everyone received their opportunity just by showing their ID!"
"Uh... but isn't Miss Su from Cherry Blossom City?"
"Oh, she changed her household registration to Jiang City just to claim the opportunity. But according to her, it'll take dozens of workdays to change it back..."
"......."
Everyone blinked. Could it really work like that??
But come to think of it, aren't you the chief of Cherry Blossom City?!
Still, there was another question.
Kichikawa Shunta scratched the back of his head. "But if Su Muwan's purpose isn't just for fun, then is it really about unifying Cherry Blossom City?"
"Haha."
"Shunta, Shunta, you've been my trusted aide since you were young. Let me tell you this."
Mizukubo Isamu smiled confidently and said, "I have a good eye for people. Su Muwan... she came to Cherry Blossom City to expand her territory!"
"But... what's the point of taking over one or two yakuza groups?"
"So, it must be about unifying Cherry Blossom City! After all... she's the first person in years to unify an entire city!"
"Her ambition is sky-high! So, she definitely didn't come here just for fun!"
"I see! As expected of the Chief!"
...
...
The next day.
[Another truck collision incident has occurred recently. Witnesses claim there was no driver in the truck.]
[According to related media reports, this is the fifteenth "phantom truck" collision this month!]
[The identities of the victims are all the same—they were all orphans.]
[Additionally, early this morning, witnesses reported seeing a glowing magic circle on top of an abandoned school building.]
[Coincidentally, five years ago, a case of an entire class going missing occurred in that same building. Witnesses at the time also claimed to have seen a massive glowing magic circle above the school.]
[The area has now been sealed off.]
[Finally, local police received a report from a resident about a self-proclaimed "Demon King" with mental health issues wandering around, asking where the reincarnated "Hero" is.]
In the villa's living room.
Su Muwan tilted her head as she watched the bizarre local news on TV.
"Are these people insane? Is this what the news is like here?"
Click!
She switched the channel in frustration, then patted Qin Luo's shoulder, who was watching with great interest, and said in a mentor-like tone, "Qin Luo, don't watch too much of this fake news made up by unscrupulous media. It'll make you stupid."
Qin Luo blinked upon hearing this.
[Detected T0 protagonist of "About the Whole Class Transported to Another World and Gaining SSS Abilities, But I Only Got the Weakest Verbal Ability!"—Minami Izuru.]
[Detected chosen one of "About...."]
[Detected chosen one of "About...."]
Miss, wherever you go, you always run into chosen ones...
This time, the chosen one seems to be related to an isekai theme?
But...
Qin Luo glanced at the ridiculously long title. It really does feel very localized...
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."
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.
villain is the number one simp for the book's leading female protagonist, Shen Wan'er. As expected, he later becomes a tool for the main character to show off and slap faces, ultimately meeting a tragic end with his family ruined and his life in shambles. Fortunately, he awakens the [Universal Pure Love System], which allows him to earn points by performing acts of pure love. To change his fate, Gu Yan makes a decisive choice to seek warmth and companionship with the book's biggest villain—Cold Qingqiu. ........... My name is Leng Qingqiu. To find the murderer who killed my parents years ago, I deliberately blinded myself so that everyone would lower their guard around me. Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them. You'd better leave quickly! "Why aren't you saying anything? How about I call you my baby wife?" Leng Qingqiu thinks to herself, this man is truly annoying! (Stubborn pure love warrior + single female lead + true pure love + 1v1)
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
