The rolls-royce phantom drove smoothly on the road.
Inside the car, the lights were soft and the atmosphere was quiet.
Luo Qingyan had experienced too much today and was mentally exhausted. Coupled with Lu Cheng being by her side, there was an unprecedented sense of security and relaxation. She unknowingly fell asleep.
She gradually leaned over and finally rested her head on Lu Cheng's shoulder, her breathing even and peaceful.
Lu Cheng looked at her beautiful sleeping face, carefully adjusted his sitting posture to make her more comfortable, and then gently put his arm around her slender shoulders.
In his mind, system prompts rang out one after another:
Ding! Lin Fan, the Son of Destiny, has been completely expelled, his reputation ruined, his last fantasy shattered by the villain's punch, and he is on the verge of death! Villain Value +15000!
Ding! All of Lin Fan's known key plotlines have failed! Beginning to plunder his remaining Destiny...
Ding! Warning! Due to a large amount of Destiny being plundered, Lin Fan has triggered "Destiny Downgrade Protection"! The final hidden plotline has appeared: "Divine Doctor Betrays"! This plot has been automatically foreseen...
Destiny Downgrade Protection? And a new plot?
Lu Cheng frowned, his eyes turning cold.
How could this useless person cause so much trouble? That punch earlier... he only used fifty percent of his strength, yet he could still be saved?
After all, there were so many people present at the time, and he couldn't kill him openly... He should have known to have someone finish him off earlier...
He sent a message to his subordinates, preparing to eliminate Lin Fan.
System Prompt: Killing the protagonist will prevent perfect plundering and result in the loss of some Destiny.
Alright, alright... I'm really fed up... Lu Cheng helplessly canceled the order again.
Damn system, always causing trouble!
He then quickly browsed the short plot that the system had foreseen.
He also received news from his subordinates... Lin Fan had been picked up by someone.
Alright, it seems the new plot has begun.
Lu Cheng smiled with relief... Then he could only completely squeeze the protagonist dry.
Then let the "Destined Great Villain" teach you what a true villain is...
In the alley behind Returning Spring Hall, next to a pile of foul-smelling garbage.
Lin Fan was in excruciating pain, his consciousness blurry, curled up on the cold ground.
There were also several puddles of blood he had vomited beside him.
That punch had caused several of his ribs to pierce his lungs, and he was bleeding more and more.
He only felt his life force rapidly draining away.
Was he really... going to die?
Like a wild dog, dying in this dirty corner?
He was unwilling!
But his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier... Just as his consciousness was about to completely sink into darkness.
At the alley entrance, a sudden sound of footsteps came.
Immediately after, several figures appeared beside him.
The leader was a middle-aged man in a suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Behind him, several stern-faced bodyguards surrounded him.
It was none other than the vice president of Holy Heart Hospital, who was accustomed to strategizing behind the scenes!
If you look closely, you will find that his appearance is very similar to that of the president, Wang Donghai.
In fact, he was Wang Donghai's younger brother, Wang Donglin.
He walked in front of Lin Fan, squatted down, reached out his hand, and roughly patted Lin Fan's blood-stained face, examining it carefully.
He confirmed that it was him and that he wasn't completely dead yet.
A mysterious smile appeared on his lips as he waved his hand at the bodyguards behind him.
"Take him away!"
Several black-clad bodyguards immediately stepped forward, roughly dragging the weak Lin Fan from the ground like a chicken and stuffing him into a black commercial vehicle that had been waiting in the shadows.
"Brother, you can rest assured, it's time... for me to take charge."
...Lu Cheng and Luo Qingyan's dinner did not last too long.
Considering Luo Qingyan's exhaustion today, Lu Cheng considerately did not linger too much. After dinner, he promptly sent her back to her residence.
Even Luo Qingyan herself was somewhat surprised by Lu Cheng's "gentlemanly" behavior tonight.
Was he... worried that I was too tired?
She had been thinking... they could take a walk or watch a movie together?
Luo Qingyan felt a little disappointed, but then faintly felt that, yes, Lu Cheng was different from those other men who only thought with their lower bodies!
Lu Cheng looked at Luo Qingyan's hesitant, expressive gaze and chuckled inwardly.
The defenses of this cold, aloof flower had almost completely broken down.
But the more a woman appears simple yet is actually proud, the more one cannot rush things.
Playing hard to get, and taking things slowly, is the best strategy.
She clearly still hesitated about his closeness. Rushing for success now would be a step backward.
It would be more interesting to use Lin Fan's last bit of value to make her completely fall for him and actively throw herself into his arms.
Besides, he had several other darlings waiting for him in his harem. Spreading his favors evenly was the way to go...
The next day, early morning.
Lu Cheng woke up amidst softness and fragrance.
In his arms, he held a sweetly sleeping Xia Qinghe.
This simple little white rabbit was easy to take care of, obedient, and easily satisfied.
Then, he remembered Xia Qinghe's male lead in the original plot—Shen Yan.
That troublesome treasure-hunting rat.
That guy, wouldn't he really be completely defeated and useless from now on?
Recalling his previous arrangements, he picked up his phone and looked through the latest reports on Shen Yan's recent situation.
Hmm... A satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
This guy was finally starting to get back on track.
It's just... why is he a bit silly?
He never learns, always stumbling in the same place?
...In an office at Modu University's Entrepreneurship Incubation Center.
Shen Yan sat in front of the computer, his eyes red and his hair messy, his fingers furiously typing on the keyboard.
The screen was filled with dense code and various UI design examples.
He looked like he had been fighting for several consecutive nights, exuding a decadent aura of "007 blessing."
--- Just a few days ago.
He was delivering food, calculating how long it would take to pay off his previous debts.
A notice posted by his counselor in the class group caught his attention.
"Announcement Regarding the School's 'Youth Entrepreneurship Support Fund' Application"
This fund aimed to encourage university students to start their own businesses and provide financial support for promising projects.
And the amount was five hundred thousand!
When Shen Yan saw this notice, he also muttered to himself.
In his previous life... there didn't seem to be such a thing?
Did he miss it again because he was only focused on being a simp back then?
Damn it, being a simp really harms people!
Or was it... That strange feeling rose in his heart again... But his current predicament left him no time to think further.
Money!
This was the most important thing for him, simply a godsend!
He returned to school and immediately checked the application requirements and contract terms.
He could meet all the application requirements, as his academic performance had always been good.
And the contract terms were so lenient that he found them somewhat unbelievable.
It was almost a completely free grant of five hundred thousand in startup capital.
The only additional clause that he cared about was—
"If the sponsor, Huanyu Group, believes that the entrepreneurial project has future development potential, Huanyu Group has the right to acquire the project at fair market value at any time and may choose to hire the original project leader to join the company to continue to be responsible for the subsequent operation and development of the project."
Huanyu Group?
He had never heard of this name in his previous life either... However, this clause... was also reasonable, after all, no one would truly give away money for free. This was equivalent to an investment.
On the contrary, this made him feel a little more at ease.
He checked Huanyu Group's information and salary benefits; it was an emerging investment company.
Could it be a company from his previous life that changed its name because of his rebirth?
After much thought, Shen Yan finally made up his mind and signed the contract.
He truly only lacked a sum of startup capital now.
He was a reborn person!
He possessed memories of the next ten years!
In his mind, there were countless ideas for games that would become globally popular in the future!
Now, as long as he developed any one of them in advance, it would inevitably achieve tremendous success.
At that time, even if it was acquired, he would at least get tens of millions, right?
With the five hundred thousand funds in his account, Shen Yan quickly decided on a direction.
He wanted to develop in advance a phenomenon-level mini-game that had not yet appeared but was immensely popular in his previous life: "Ma Le Ge Ma."
He had ten years of development experience from his previous life and could complete it entirely by himself.
Once the game was released, it would become popular nationwide!
At that time... Qing He! Wait for me!
--- Recalling this, his operating speed quickened a few points...
