"Why do you get a sixty-forty split?"
Xiao Ce looked aggrieved. "I take a beating, and you take a beating... Why do I only get a fifty-fifty split?"
Chu Yang was all smiles, looking a bit cheeky. "Ask Old Shen!"
Shen Yuan turned his head and gave a sidelong glance.
"Can you compare with Yangzi?"
Shen Yuan chuckled.
Xiao Ce pouted. "My daughter is your goddaughter, after all..."
"Yangzi is my biological brother from a different father and a different mother!"
Shen Yuan pointed at Chu Yang. "I owe him!"
"Ah!?"
Xiao Ce didn't quite understand.
"This and that, so on and so forth!" Shen Yuan waved his hand coolly.
Xiao Ce was utterly speechless.
A real and fake young master situation!?
After all this time, you, Young Master Shen, aren't even the true young master of the Shen family!
Putting it that way, you really do owe him.
But...
Xiao Ce looked at Chu Yang. "You don't hate him at all?"
"It's not his fault, nor is it our parents' fault, so why should I hate him?"
Chu Yang said with a chuckle. "What's more... right after he found out, he came looking for me immediately, wanting to give me the family fortune, and didn't even hide the existence of his system!"
The most important thing is...
He saved Yiyi!
Although by blood, Yiyi is his biological sister.
But Yiyi is also my obsession!
I am grateful to him!
Xiao Ce: "..."
That makes a lot of sense!
But...
I can't help but feel that this guy Shen Yuan is deliberately courting death.
After all... who the hell would tell others if they had a system?
Since Chu Yang is the Child of Destiny, with his wealth, he just needs to hire two assassins from the dark web...
And shoot him dead.
However, Children of Destiny seem pretty hard to kill!
"I owe Chu Yang!"
Shen Yuan said breezily. "So, a sixty-forty split, he gets sixty and I get forty!"
"As for you, Old Xiao..."
"I saved your daughter, so I did you a favor, right?"
"I'm demanding a return for my favor, so what?"
"Is a fifty-fifty split not okay?"
Shen Yuan looked cheerful.
Xiao Ce laughed and shook his head. "Alright, alright, you're the boss!"
"Even if you didn't tell me, with the condition you proposed of beating me up every day..."
"I'd still have to take it!"
"I am a man of my word, a promise is worth its weight in gold!"
"If you don't give it to me, I wouldn't even get a single hair!"
Xiao Ce raised an eyebrow.
"Do you have any hair?"
Shen Yuan gave a sidelong glance, stroking his own hairline. "Do you have a single hair on your body?"
"Everyone has hair on their body!"
Xiao Ce shouted.
"Tch!"
Chu Yang and Shen Yuan raised their middle fingers at the same time.
Xiao Ce's mouth twitched.
You two really are brothers!
Your reactions are exactly the same.
"Actually, I have another idea."
Licking his lips, Shen Yuan smiled wickedly. "Jiejiejie~~"
Chu Yang and Xiao Ce shivered.
When you know a certain system owner is smiling wickedly at you...
You'd shiver too.
"I'm a villain, so bullying the Child of Destiny is perfectly reasonable."
"Furthermore, villains all have underlings!"
"Logically speaking, I should have my underlings go feed kills one by one first."
"So I thought, if I have you guys bully yourselves..."
"Would I get villain points?"
Shen Yuan pinched his chin and sneered.
Xiao Ce gulped. "I don't know either!"
Chu Yang snorted coldly. "Old Shen, are you brain-dead? Ask your system!"
Shen Yuan: (^_−)
That makes a hell of a lot of sense!
When in doubt, quantum mechanics.
If quantum mechanics fails, ask the system!
"Ding, yes!"
The system said calmly. "Isn't this a matter of course? Do you even need to ask?"
Shen Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said smilingly to the system, "Of course I have to ask!"
"After all..."
"What I mean is not my underlings, but if I get someone else to pin down the Child of Destiny and beat him, I can get villain points, right?"
"Anyone will do?"
Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow.
The system was very straightforward. "Yes! Even if you have a three-year-old kid stab the Child of Destiny with a knife, you will still get villain points!"
"As long as they listen to you, you get them!"
The system stated very clearly.
Shen Yuan clapped his hands. "Great, I was just waiting for you to say that, system!"
System: "????"
"I'll have Chu Yang hit Xiao Ce, and Xiao Ce hit Chu Yang, and make them fight every day..."
"System... what do you think of that~~"
Shen Yuan smiled cheekily, deliberately dragging out his last syllable.
His head was slightly tilted, the corners of his eyes raised, and his mouth curved into an incredibly punchable arc.
System: "Holy crap!?"
Damn, there's actually a thought process like this?
Anyone arranged by the villain can earn villain points...
Is Chu Yang arranged by Shen Yuan?
Yes!
Is Xiao Ce arranged by Shen Yuan?
Yes!
So if the two of them fight...
The system felt like its CPU was going to fry.
This... it felt like there was a bug somewhere.
But... the logic somehow flowed perfectly.
"Ding, there's a bug!"
The system said. "Now self-inspecting to fix the bug!"
"Damn, are you a sore loser?" Shen Yuan grew anxious. "Where is the trust between people?"
"System, when an operating system has a bug, don't fix it!"
"Once you fix the bug, the system might not be able to run anymore!"
Shen Yuan shouted hurriedly.
"Ding..."
"After inspection... there are no bugs in the system's operation!"
The system seemed a bit crestfallen. "Host, you freaking win!"
The system was completely speechless!
What kind of proper system host messes around like this!?
What kind of villain makes a protagonist deal with another protagonist?
Shen Yuan snapped back to reality and looked at Chu Yang and Xiao Ce, smiling very happily.
The two of them were hugging each other, shivering.
"Old Shen, stop laughing!"
Chu Yang shouted. "Your voice... it's so sleazy and punchable, like a mouse that just stole some sugar!"
Xiao Ce also yelled, "You're smiling too cheekily, so cheeky it's scummy, just like you stole Granny Wang's chicken from next door and grabbed a handful of her vegetables on the way out."
Shen Yuan's smile vanished instantly.
Am I smiling that cheekily?
But then again, I guess I've always been this kind of cheeky bastard, right?
"Hehehe!"
"Jiejiejie~~"
His smile grew even more intense.
Chu Yang and Xiao Ce: "..."
"In a word!"
Licking his lips, Shen Yuan said with a smile, "I've finished communicating with the system..."
"If you two fight each other, I can get villain points too!"
"Anyone who listens to my orders to deal with the protagonist will earn me villain points from now on!"
Shen Yuan made an inviting gesture. "Come on, brothers! Let's hurt each other!"
Chu Yang's eyes lit up, he instantly let go of Xiao Ce, and a flash of fire crossed his eyes.
Xiao Ce: (－ｏ⌒)??
Chu Yang, didn't you change your tune a bit too fast?
"Come on, let's hurt each other!"
Chu Yang's eyes were extremely fanatical.
"No thanks!"
"Some other day!"
Xiao Ce hurriedly waved his hands. "My wife and child are still here, it's not a good time to fight!"
"Give me two days to settle my wife and child..."
"And I have to bring my transfer orders over!"
"These tasks need to be finished!"
"When the time comes..."
Xiao Ce took a deep breath, looking righteous, iron-blooded, and domineering. "I'll fight you as hard as I can!"
"Alright!"
Chu Yang nodded heavily.
Shen Yuan snapped his fingers.
This is excellent!
With the Chosen Ones busy tearing each other apart...
I will have all the time in the world to go out and show off.
Sigh!
At the end of the day, it is I, the capitalist, who emerges victorious once again!
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement.

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."
