After the Pavilion Master's attack missed, his expression instantly turned grave.
This guy... is indeed far stronger than I imagined. His Destiny Rank must be above mine—probably on par with the seniors from the Earth Pavilion.
"Your strength is truly formidable... I am thoroughly convinced," the Pavilion Master conceded, backing down now that he knew he couldn't win.
But Loan Hero paid him no mind. Though invincible during debt collection, this was merely a passive skill!
In the next second, he vanished from the spot, taking Ye Qing with him.
Watching the two disappear, the entire Destiny Association descended into chaos.
For the newcomers who had just joined, the shock was overwhelming.
Someone had barged into their headquarters, snatched a person right under their noses—it was like getting slapped in the face, yet they could only smile helplessly, powerless to retaliate.
Their once awe-inspiring impression of the Destiny Association plummeted to rock bottom.
They’d thought they’d joined some badass organization, only to realize it was a paper tiger?
Once seeds of doubt were sown, they sprouted rapidly. Those who joined the Destiny Association were all proud individuals.
If there wasn’t something to gain, why would they even work here?
"Alright, everyone, stop staring. You’ve all seen that man’s power. If you encounter him in the future, do not provoke him," the young Pavilion Master warned.
"Memorize his face. And if he ever offers you a loan... refuse. Otherwise, not even the gods can save you."
He paused, then turned his gaze to Deputy Pavilion Master Xu Rong.
"I’ll be away for a while. Gates are awakening worldwide—Ye Qing is proof of that. He came from beyond one. Soon, the number of Destined Ones on Blue Star will explode. Keep an eye out."
"Xu Rong, you’ll act as interim head of headquarters. Here—these are prehistoric genetic data. Absorb them. They’ll boost your strength."
With that, he tossed Xu Rong a crimson vial, its contents as unsettling as blood.
But Xu Rong’s face lit up with excitement. To others, this might be useless, but for someone with Super God Genes, it was priceless!
It could grant him truly overpowered abilities.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master!"
After a few more instructions, the young man vanished on the spot.
"Pavilion Master...?" Xu Rong called out tentatively.
Once certain the Pavilion Master was gone, his lips curled into a smirk.
With the Pavilion Master away, he was now in charge!
"Did you all hear? The golden age is coming. More Destined Ones will emerge—hurry up and grow stronger!"
"Headquarters’ exchange mall is now open. Spend your points wisely..."
...
Chen Hao followed the other Destined Ones to the so-called "Headquarters Mall" in a daze.
The Destiny Association was essentially a massive commune, pooling the golden fingers of all Chosen Ones. Headquarters helped protagonists with system malls earn points, sourced goods from their systems, and centralized them in a shared marketplace.
"Gulp—"
Chen Hao swallowed hard. Headquarters had awarded him an extra 3,000 points this month—a reward for being a system holder.
Plus, his 40% cut from the "Scumbag Value" earnings... he was rolling in it!
He counted on his fingers: 3,000 points at the mall equaled 30,000 Scumbag Value. Over the past half-month, he’d squeezed nearly 100,000 Scumbag Value from Ye Qing and other members.
40% of 100,000 was 40,000—meaning he’d made 70,000 Scumbag Value in just two weeks!
Thinking of Ye Qing, Chen Hao sighed.
"Ah... Brother Ye Qing was a decent man. Pity he crossed the wrong person."
...
Meanwhile, Ye Qing was panicking.
"Stay back... I’m warning you!"
Bound tightly in millennium-cold iron shackles, his cultivation was sealed, leaving him helpless.
Before him stood a gleaming, bald-headed man—Brother Qiang.
Earlier, the suited man had brought him here, exchanged a few words with this brute, and left.
"Heheh, heard you’re a Grandmaster-level martial artist?" Brother Qiang grinned like a blooming chrysanthemum, advancing slowly.
"Get away from me—!" Ye Qing’s backside clenched. He tried to summon his power, but the restraints rendered him powerless.
Clap clap clap! Brother Qiang signaled with a few sharp claps.
Three figures emerged from the shadows: Dugu Linyu, the show-off prince Ye Liangchen, and stock market whiz Qin Tian. Together with Brother Qiang, they formed the "Brokeback Mountain F4"—now welcoming Ye Qing as their fifth member.
"What do you want? I have 18 masters! If you kill me, they’ll hunt you down!" Ye Qing seethed with frustration. These four were weaklings—the strongest only a mid-level Grandmaster. Normally, he could crush them with a slap.
But shackled by the millennium iron, he couldn’t even use 1% of his power.
Brother Qiang chuckled, rubbing his shiny scalp.
"Kill you? I’d never. I’ll take good care of you..."
"NOOO—!!!"
A blood-curdling scream echoed as the door to the dark room slammed shut.
......
"So... Ye Qing got taken?"
Jiang Che—the ultimate lurker—watched everything unfold from the shadows.
As a master of stealth, patience was his creed.
This "Loan Hero" intrigued him. Using the "Book of Calculations," he attempted a quick divination.
"Huh? No trace at all? This guy’s got some serious backing."
Jiang Che smirked. He wasn’t worried—the world had plenty of odd talents, and Loan Hero was just mildly interesting.
With his current wealth, even Loan Hero would leave in tears.
What truly piqued his interest was the Destiny Association.
Thanks to Chen Hao, his human surveillance camera, Jiang Che now understood the Association inside out.
And quietly, he’d siphoned nearly a million points from them—all thanks to Chen Hao’s unwitting efforts.
"That idiot Pavilion Master said gates worldwide are opening? A flood of Chosen Ones is coming?"
"Is this the start of a spiritual revival?" Jiang Che mused aloud.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
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."
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
