Early in the morning, Su He received a phone call from Liu Wen.
"Su He, are you free this morning?"
"I'm not sure if I'm free."
"What are you going to do this morning?"
"I'm going to deliver takeout."
"Then take a day off. The city is holding an awards ceremony for brave citizens today. You weren't originally included, but Director Fu considered your special situation and added you at the last minute, otherwise you'd have to wait until next year..."
"How much is the prize money?"
"Su He, can you not be so materialistic? Being a brave citizen is about doing good deeds and is an honor. Even if it's just a certificate..."
"Officer Liu, I'm really busy. You can hold on to that certificate for me. I'll come by your police station to deliver takeout later and you can give it to me then."
"There's also 50,000 RMB in prize money."
"Oh... Officer Liu, I'm on my way... I'm out the door!"
Su He deliberately changed into decent clothes and bought some buns downstairs before riding his e-bike straight to the Jinan Municipal Government.
Shen Yue needed to go to the Capital for treatment, and the medical fees were astronomical for her family. The compensation money from the driver responsible for the accident had long since run out. Even if they sold the house, no one knew how long they could hold out...
For Su He, every extra penny meant a little more hope. He wasn't a doctor. All he could do was work desperately hard to earn money.
He had been hoping the System would give him some choices to treat Shen Yue, but unfortunately there had been no choices triggered yesterday.
It took just over ten minutes for Su He to arrive at the municipal government building. He had just locked up his bike when Liu Wen, dressed in her police uniform, walked over.
"Su He, hurry up. The ceremony is about to start..." Seeing Su He dressed casually, Liu Wen couldn't help sighing to herself that he looked so handsome. No wonder Zhao Luyao was always going on about him.
Su He followed behind Liu Wen and laughed, "Thank you so much, Officer Liu."
As they walked, Liu Wen looked back and said, "Let's not stand on ceremony, Su He. This is just part of my job. Your brave actions are even more deserving of praise... Oh, right, Luyan asked me to apologize to you. She wants to take you out for dinner tonight... What exactly happened between you two? She's being all mysterious about it..."
Su He looked at Liu Wen and scratched his head awkwardly. "Nothing happened. Sister Zhao takes good care of me. Forget about the dinner. I still have to deliver takeout at night..."
Liu Wen looked at Su He in surprise. "There's still the evening! We can meet later."
"I get higher rates for delivering takeout at night, plus there's a subsidy..." Su He replied honestly.
Liu Wen glared at Su He. "Let's go inside. Your seat is the first one on the left in the second row."
As soon as Su He sat down, the ceremony began. Several leaders gave speeches briefly reviewing the brave acts, followed by half an hour of words of gratitude. Su He couldn't stand it halfway through and went to the bathroom. When he came back, they finally started handing out the money.
On stage, Director Fu personally handed Su He the certificate of honor and a sign for 50,000 RMB.
Su He took a group photo with all the brave citizens being awarded. Then the ceremony was over.
After everyone dispersed, Su He gave his bank account number to staff as requested. The bonus would be deposited within three days.
As Su He walked out of the municipal government building, he saw Liu Wen waiting at the bus stop, so he rode over on his e-bike and asked, "Officer Liu, want me to give you a ride?"
Liu Wen smiled and said, "Jinan city regulations prohibit riding electric bikes to carry passengers in urban areas. As a public security officer, I can't knowingly break the law."
"Oh, I see. Anyway, thanks again for today. I'll treat you to a meal if I get the chance..."
Su He took out his phone and saw that it was already noon. Unfortunately his delivery uniform was back at the dorm, otherwise he could start accepting orders now. He decided to head back first to try and get a few orders.
Liu Wen's eyes lit up. "That sounds good! Why not do lunch today?"
"Sure...ah!" Su He wanted to smack himself. If it was one of those animals in his dorm, there's no way he would've agreed for today. But he soon frowned and said, "But you don't have a car, and there's nothing good to eat around here... How about..."
"No problem! You pick the place! I'll meet you there soon!" Liu Wen waved her phone at Su He to indicate they could contact by phone. Then she turned and ran back into the municipal government building.
Su He was confused by her maneuver... He opened WeChat to check his balance, then sent his location to Liu Wen's WeChat.
"Liu's Family-Style Cooking (48 Wujin East Road, Jinan)"
Usually Su He just had fried rice for lunch, but since he was treating, he took it very seriously.
"Hello, Sister Liu. One order of Kung Pao chicken, one order of mapo tofu, and an egg drop soup with seaweed... I'll be there in about 20 minutes..."
After making the call, Su He rode his e-bike towards Wujin East Road. Just then, an Audi passed by him and the window in the backseat rolled down. Liu Wen yelled loudly, "Su He, I'm going back to change first. Go ahead to the restaurant!" Before Su He could reply, the Audi had already driven away.
When he arrived at Sister Liu's restaurant, Liu Wen was already sitting inside, along with another woman - Zhao Luyao.
"Su He, what are you standing there dazed for? These two beauties have been waiting for you for a while."
At the door, the owner Sister Liu winked at Su He and whispered, "You got some skills, boy. These women are clearly rich. So you're bowing down to reality?"
"How could that be, Sister Liu? This old frog is still lining up for you. When is your husband going to die?" Su He lecherously eyed Sister Liu's chest. Many delivery riders in the area liked to eat here, though not for the food - because Sister Liu was busty.
"You little punk, ogling my wife again? I'm not putting any chicken in your Kung Pao chicken!" The Mediterranean chef by the open kitchen counter yelled playfully at Su He.
"Then just give me a plate of peanuts."
The restaurant was small and noisy. Many people were eyeing the fashionably dressed Liu Wen and Zhao Luyao.
When Su He walked over, both women stood up.
"Officer Liu, Sister Zhao, please sit." Su He smiled awkwardly. For a moment, no one knew what to say.
"I made plans with Luyao to go shopping this afternoon. I hope you don't mind I brought her along without warning?" Liu Wen broke the silence.
"Of course not! The more the merrier. Sister Zhao has helped me a lot too. I'm grateful to you both for coming. I ordered two dishes and a soup, let me know if you'd like anything else..."
In the corner, Wu Xiaodong stared intently at Su He as he shoveled down fried rice, tears falling from his eyes.
As she cleared the tables, Sister Liu noticed and quietly asked, "Xiaodong Wu... are you going through some difficulties? Tell big sis, maybe I can help think of a solution!"
Wiping his tears with a napkin, Wu Xiaodong said, "No, eating the fried rice just made me think of my mom."
Sister Liu nodded, "I see, your mom passed away years ago?"
Startled, Wu Xiaodong said, "My mom's not dead..."
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
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."
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.”
