[Ding!]
A screen appeared in front of Shen Yan, and a personal attribute panel surfaced across his retina.
The homepage showed his personal data: [Host: Shen Yan.]
[Luck Points: 3100]
[Personal Wealth: 1.7 billion yuan]
[Attributes: Strength 105, Speed 96, Reflexes 98, Charm 120, Constitution 112. (ps: Standard for normal males is 100.)]
[Skills: (Piano Master), (Driving Proficient), (English Fluent), (Appraisal Beginner), (Golf Expert) (ps: Skill levels are ranked from low to high as: Beginner, Proficient, Fluent, Master, Peak.)]
[System Store: (Locked) (ps: Unlock requires 100 Luck Points.)]
[Counterattack Progress: 5%]
[Hostility Level with Protagonist Lin Yu: 15%]
[Every 100 Luck Points can increase an attribute by 1 point. Every 1,000 Luck Points can upgrade a skill level. Every 1,000 Luck Points can be used to buy skills and items in the System Store.]
The system spoke lazily, [Attributes have no upper limit, but skills generally do. Luck Points cannot go below 0.]
“Straightforward enough,” Shen Yan glanced at the screen, feeling quite satisfied with his attribute stats.
Especially his Charm stat, which reached 120.
[The protagonist Lin Yu’s attributes are all above 150, and he also possesses multiple top-tier skills,] the system suddenly rained on his parade. [He could easily crush you.]
Shen Yan acted like he didn’t hear it. “Since you said Luck Points can boost my stats, how do I gain them?”
[Host, listen closely.]
[The simplest way to gain Luck Points is—]
[In other words…] [Take everything the protagonist has and make it yours.]
[As long as you can do that, you’ll earn Luck Points.]
[Like just now, when you successfully improved Huo Yunzhi’s impression of you, you earned this many Luck Points.]
“…,” Shen Yan curled his lip. “So I really have to go against Lin Yu? That won’t be easy!”
As the protagonist, Lin Yu naturally had the protagonist’s halo!
Reborn to Become the Urban Mercenary King was one of the most popular urban mercenary novels a few years ago. The protagonist’s looks and skills were top-tier, but most importantly, he had the halo of the son of destiny!
In this harem novel, nearly every few chapters Lin Yu would encounter a new woman who fell head over heels for him.
Besides the main female lead Huo Yunzhi, there were adorable twin sisters, a fiery half-blood beauty, a gentle white flower, a stunning policewoman, a capable and sharp CEO, and a seductive young widow… and Lin Yu, in turn, never held back.
In the end, all the women compromised because they loved him too much, accepting a polygamous life.
Although the worldview of Reborn to Become the Urban Mercenary King was quite questionable, setting aside morality and logic, it was undeniably a thrilling read. The author’s writing was impressive, with over a dozen different female leads, each with her own unique charm and depth. The intimate scenes were especially steamy.
[It’s definitely not easy,] the system said calmly. [But there’s another way to gain Luck Points.]
[You can exchange them with wealth. Every 100,000 yuan of wealth can be exchanged for 1 Luck Point.]
“Isn’t that just pay-to-win?!” Shen Yan looked at his wealth value, then suddenly realized something and asked, “The wealth in the system, is it all the assets Shen Yan owns in the real world?”
As the sole heir of the Shen Corporation, Shen Yan hadn’t yet taken over, but the stocks, properties, and liquid assets under his name already added up to at least 1.7 billion yuan—very close to what the system showed.
[Correct. It’s all assets registered under Shen Yan’s name. The conversion is based on the Nine Dragons Nation’s currency, precise to four decimal places,] the system’s girl-like voice responded. [Be aware, once you spend your wealth in the system, Shen Yan’s real-world assets will also decrease. And vice versa. Any change in your real-world wealth will reflect in the system.] Visit g.com for the full chapter.
“1.7 billion…” Shen Yan’s eyes sparkled as he laughed wildly inside.
Hahaha! I didn’t expect I’d transmigrate straight into being a second-generation rich kid!
In his previous life, he had some achievements as a young entrepreneur, but all the wealth he’d worked himself to the bone for couldn’t compare to what he now had just lying there. This was truly a win just by existing!
“If I take down the protagonist Lin Yu, wouldn’t I instantly become the ultimate winner in life? But… what if I don’t provoke him?” Shen Yan asked suddenly.
[Don’t you want to come back to life?]
“I do.”
[Then why not do it? Are you afraid you can’t beat him? Because he’s strong, with the author—the god—behind him giving him the protagonist’s halo?]
“I want to live because there’s something I long for, not just to survive,” Shen Yan said slowly. “But according to you, to get Luck Points, I have to go head-to-head with the protagonist. What’s in it for me? Why must I fight him to the death?”
“If he doesn’t mess with me, wouldn’t it be better for me to live as a carefree rich heir in this world?”
“Besides, to get Luck Points, I’d have to take all those girls from the novel… so basically, you’re asking me to become a womanizer like Lin Yu? Sorry, but I’m not a man who can’t live without women. What would I do with so many? One who loves me sincerely is enough. Otherwise, it’s unfair to them, don’t you think?”
[…] The system was momentarily speechless.
Shen Yan rubbed his chin. “So I think it’s better for me to just be a wealthy, idle second-generation heir. I’ll call off the engagement quickly and let Huo Yunzhi and Lin Yu stay as far away from me as possible…”
“Can’t I just bless them?”
[No!]
Shen Yan raised an eyebrow at that, signaling the system to continue.
[You know this, Shen Yan dies by suicide in the end.]
“Yeah, I know.”
