Chapter 6 A New Way to Rack Up Rewards

Qin Lang was feeling miserable.

He had thought that today’s script would cast him as the hero rescuing a damsel in distress. But contrary to his expectations, he failed to play the hero and instead became a coward. Worse yet, he had branded himself a villain in front of the woman he loved.

What now? The effort was all for nothing, and Lin Li was sitting pretty as the winner in life. At this moment, Qin Lang was beside himself with anxiety; his original plan had been completely ruined. Even if he wanted to fix things, it was already too late.

After returning home, the young man was so agitated he paced back and forth, unable to calm down. Anyone in his shoes would have lost their composure, and Qin Lang was no exception. Yet, with his rather dim wit, it was unlikely he could come up with any clever solutions in the short term.

So once again, he sought out Lin Li.

“Uncle Lin, only you can help me this time,” he pleaded. “What do you think I should do next?”

Lin Li gazed at Qin Lang, unsure what to say. This kid, perhaps his head really didn’t work too well. Even now, after everything, he was hoping for a last-minute miracle from Lin Li.

But given Lin Li’s current situation, it was impossible for him to provide any useful advice.

“These things may sound simple, but they’re not easy to accomplish,” Lin Li replied. “Even I don’t know what to say right now. You’ve thoroughly offended Miss Leng this time.”

Qin Lang’s face fell with worry—he knew this all too well. But at this point, there was nothing more he could do.

“Should I just go to her and beg for forgiveness?” he wondered aloud. “No, no, with her temperament, she’ll never forgive me. She might even beat me senseless on the spot. I really don’t want to embarrass myself again.”

The more he thought, the more conflicted he became. Even Lin Li was speechless watching him.

Why so much fuss? Honestly, in Qin Lang’s current state, he was basically finished. Leng Ningxue was an extremely proud person.

After such a humiliating incident, how could she possibly forgive Qin Lang so easily? The fact that she hadn’t torn him apart yet already counted as his good luck, and he was still hoping for a turnaround? Wasn’t that just wishful thinking? Even Lin Li felt he was shameless.

On the surface, however, Lin Li acted as though nothing was wrong.

“No need to panic. She’s just the eldest daughter of the Leng family. I believe with your abilities, you could handle her effortlessly.”

Lin Li spoke lightly, but Qin Lang had no such confidence.

He had hoped for some useful advice from Lin Li, but in the end, he got nothing.

“Uncle Lin, you’d better get back to your own affairs. There’s nothing useful for me here anyway,” he said, sighing in disappointment.

But Lin Li frowned slightly. “Actually, now that you mention it, there’s one thing that might help.”

“I heard that tomorrow night, Miss Leng will be going to Jade Spring Pavilion to discuss a partnership. When the time comes—”

Lin Li hadn’t finished speaking when Qin Lang cut him off.

“I can arrive early and drug Leng Ningxue. When the effects kick in, I’ll rush in to rescue her, and all our previous disputes will be resolved.”

Lin Li stared at Qin Lang, dumbfounded, unsure what to say.

No wonder you’re doomed first.

Rotten inside and out, truly no surprise at all.

Lin Li muttered quietly as he looked at the man before him, unable to describe his feelings.

As before, Qin Lang didn’t even give Lin Li a chance to refuse. He considered this a flawless plan.

Lin Li couldn’t be bothered to argue.

“That’s the gist of it, but who will actually administer the drug?”

Qin Lang’s eyes widened as he looked at Lin Li.

“Uncle Lin, this sort of thing can only be done by you.”

Lin Li was stunned. “Me?”

But for Lin Li, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. After all, he’d awakened the villain system, and what he needed was precisely to do evil deeds.

Qin Lang sensed Lin Li’s reluctance and lowered his voice, “Uncle Lin, if you pull this off, I’ll give you half a million. How’s that? Generous enough, right?”

“But you have to make sure no one finds out.”

Qin Lang was never one to curry favor with subordinates, so the only person he was close to was Lin Li. Now, he was the only one Qin Lang could trust.

Lin Li glanced at Qin Lang, thought for a moment, and agreed.

“Don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll make sure it’s done right.”

Qin Lang gave Lin Li’s shoulder a firm pat.

“To be honest, if I handed this over to someone else, I’d really be uneasy.”

Lin Li just sneered—uneasy? You simply have no one else to help you, but there’s no point in saying that outright.

He thought it over and decided not to dwell on the issue.

Thus, everything settled down.

After seeing Qin Lang off, Lin Li could finally “take care” of Su Lan.

Su Lan was like parched earth receiving rain.

Ever since she got together with Lin Li, she could hardly contain herself.

Lin Li locked the door securely and went upstairs.

As soon as he opened the bedroom door, a delicate figure nestled into his arms. “Lin Lang… I missed you so much.”

Her voice was sweet and tingled right to the heart.

“Heh, sister-in-law, then here I come.”

[Ding, villainous behavior detected. Host gains 10,000 villain points!]

The system’s rewards rarely repeated, so this time Lin Li had some new tricks to try.

Unexpectedly, Lan was extremely cooperative.

After their passionate encounter, Su Lan lay in Lin Li’s arms, tracing circles on his chest with her soft fingers.

How did she not notice before that this man was so masculine?

Especially today, when she played coy, she discovered a new kind of pleasure.

“Lin Lang, you’re amazing. You nearly wore me out.”

Lin Li replied smugly, “Sister-in-law, I know plenty of tricks. There’s lots of time ahead—let’s take it slow.”

Su Lan lay sweetly in his embrace, though a faint shadow flickered in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Lin Li lay on the bed, the system shop’s panel hovering before him.

The system shop contained an astonishing variety of items.

At Lin Li’s current level, he could only see four options: ‘Skills, Items, Properties, Medicines.’

Skills referred to special techniques he could acquire using villain points—like Bajiquan, which was among them.

But there were levels within the skills, and Lin Li could only access basic martial arts, nothing too special.

The Items section included all sorts of functional gadgets, even an Experience Card for the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, allowing ten minutes of use. But the price was astronomical—it required one million villain points.
