Li Kong curled the corner of his mouth and chuckled.
"That playboy Wang Hao from the Wang Family would be a perfect candidate."
The implication was clear—he wanted to pull the Wang Family into the venture.
Though Wang Hao was somewhat of a wastrel,
he was already twenty-nine years old.
Rumors had it that his martial cultivation was still stuck at the peak Warrior level.
His talent could only be considered average.
But his grandfather was a bona fide Martial Saint.
At the mention of Martial Saints,
Chen Feng glanced at Li Kong.
"How about you lend a hand too? Take an honorary position at the Chosen Martial Hall."
With the Wang Family on board and Li Kong added to the mix,
it would mean the Chosen Martial Hall had two Martial Saints backing it.
Grandpa Jin was undoubtedly part of the Chosen Martial Hall as well.
A martial hall with two Martial Saints and one Martial Venerable—
such a lineup could rival a top-tier aristocratic family.
Li Kong laughed heartily.
"Never thought you'd set your sights on me too."
"But let’s not forget, even my Martial Saint status was boosted by Youxi’s Blood Ginseng Soup infused with Vermilion Fruit."
"Consider this me repaying a favor."
Jin Youxi beamed with delight,
revealing two rows of pearly white teeth.
Hearing that her master planned to expand the Chosen Martial Hall
filled her with excitement.
As the senior disciple, she’d soon have many junior brothers and sisters.
Liu Weiwei was also looking forward to it.
She genuinely hoped her master would achieve great things
and wanted to contribute however she could.
In the Wang Family’s conference room in the capital,
Wang Hao sat bored out of his mind as his elders debated various matters.
He’d long been written off—the family wanted him to take over their businesses,
but Wang Hao had no interest in that path.
Just then, his phone buzzed with a notification.
With nothing better to do, he opened the messaging app.
To his shock, it was a message from his buddy Chen Feng.
When he saw the photo of an entire Protoceratops
and the stated weight of 400 kilograms,
Wang Hao shot to his feet and blurted out,
"Holy shit!"
The meeting came to an abrupt halt.
All eyes turned to Wang Hao,
wondering what nonsense the family’s black sheep was up to now.
His Uncle, who’d been leading the discussion, had long lost patience with his nephew.
Every meeting, the kid was either dozing off or playing mobile games.
He’d even run into him in the game’s ranked matches multiple times.
He’d always turned a blind eye, figuring there was no point polishing a turd.
But this time, he’d had enough.
"You little brat, have you lost your damn mind?"
"Have I gone too long without beating you up? How dare you disrupt a meeting like this!"
Wang Hao snapped back to reality and looked around,
only then remembering he was in the middle of a meeting.
"Uncle, calm down. This is important."
His Uncle scoffed.
"What kind of bullshit ‘important matter’ could you possibly have? More important than the company?"
"Our family’s in a crisis right now!"
"The Duan Family has cut off all dealings with us."
"Several of our pill formulas can’t be produced anymore—do you even realize that?"
"If we don’t meet their demands, we’re finished!"
Wang Hao quickly raised his phone.
"This is serious! I’ve got a whole Protoceratops here!"
"Look, just look!"
His Uncle froze,
then snatched the phone and scanned Chen Feng’s message.
After a beat, he glared at Wang Hao and barked,
"What the hell are you still standing around for?"
"Get your ass to Kunlun City and buy that thing!"
"With this dinosaur, our Bone-Strengthening Pill alone will secure our position!"
Before long,
the Duan Family caught wind of the news.
The Chairman of Duan Group frowned.
"You’re saying Wang Hao was playing with his phone and suddenly mentioned someone selling a Protoceratops?"
"Do we know who the seller is?"
The corporate spy liaison shook his head.
"Where’s Wang Hao now? Follow him."
"We must intercept that dinosaur—we can’t afford another failure like last time."
Early the next morning, Wang Hao arrived in Kunlun City.
But when he stepped off the plane, he was greeted by a stunning woman
holding a large LED sign that read:
"Welcome, Mr. Wang Hao."
"The Kunlun branch is really stepping up their game," he mused.
He approached her and exchanged greetings.
The woman eagerly escorted him out of the airport.
Meanwhile, the actual Wang Family receptionist stood confused,
holding his usual sign and watching Wang Hao walk away with the stranger.
"Did the Vice President arrange his own ride?"
Once in the car, Wang Hao remarked,
"New company car? A Rolls? Getting fancy, huh?"
The woman gave an awkward smile.
"Mr. Wang, where would you like to go?"
"Kunlun Sanatorium. Step on it—I can’t wait."
After a while, Wang Hao frowned.
"Wait, isn’t this the wrong direction?"
"Last time I came, we went the other way."
The woman quickly explained,
"Mr. Wang, there’s construction on the usual route. We have to detour."
Wang Hao nodded.
"Oh. Wake me when we get there."
As soon as his eyes closed,
the woman sent a text:
[Kunlun Sanatorium].
When the Duan Family received this, they frowned.
"That’s where the last dinosaur deal happened."
"Is it that Chen Feng again?"
Without hesitation, they dispatched men to the sanatorium.
They’d verify the lead first.
Meanwhile, Wang Hao slept until noon.
Blinking groggily, he asked,
"Where are we?"
The woman suddenly turned furious.
"Who are you? You’re not Wang Hao!"
Wang Hao was baffled.
"What the—? Of course I’m Wang Hao!"
Woman: "No, you’re not!"
Exasperated, Wang Hao pulled out his ID.
"See? Wang Hao. Right here."
"How do you not recognize your own company’s VP?"
The woman nearly laughed—
but she was a professional.
She produced a photo.
"The Wang Hao I’m picking up looks like this."
"Get out now, or I’ll scream."
Wang Hao, utterly bewildered, raised his hands.
"Don’t scream! I’m leaving, I’m leaving!"
The last thing he needed was a public scene.
But the moment he stepped out,
the woman sped off,
leaving Wang Hao standing alone in the middle of nowhere.
"What the actual hell? Where did she dump me?"
Pulling out his phone, he called the Kunlun branch and unleashed a tirade.
"What kind of clown show are you running? You lost your own VP!"
"And nobody even called to find me? Unbelievable!"
"Send a car NOW."
"I’m sending my location."
The branch staff stared at the GPS pin,
completely baffled.
"Why did the vice president go to the neighboring city?"
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!!

] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players. He thought he could develop safely, but after clearing the first instance, he is branded by humanity as the chief culprit behind the game's spread—a traitorous villain. A villain?

Between the straight path and the crooked path, he chooses the con. With his left hand, he dons the villain's mantle, staging scenes within instances, infuriating players who decry him as a despicable traitor, all while the game happily promotes him. With his right hand, he joins the non-human organization "Fangcun Mountain," which opposes the Carnival Paradise, transforming into a mysterious player who slaughters game bosses, earning cheers of "Long live the expert!" from fellow players. Gradually, Zhu Yan rises to become an S-rank human player in Fangcun Mountain's archives, while also being the Carnival Paradise's certified top game Boss.

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)
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
