Chapter 294: The Protagonist is the Villain!?

Shen Tian stared.

Then...

His expression became dangerous.

"That’s useful."

Xu Ning nodded.

[Very.]

Another reward.

[Reward Four]

Blood Dragon Core Purification Complete

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.

The Blood Dragon Core had been stored after Lu Chen’s death.

He hadn’t integrated it.

Because frankly...

He didn’t need to rush.

Now...

The system had altered it.

Original: Blood Dragon Core

Impurities: 37%

Mental Corruption Risk: Severe

Compatibility: Moderate

Then...

The description changed.

New Item: Primordial Dragon Heart Essence

Impurities: 0%

Mental Corruption Risk: None

Compatibility with Imperial Heart: 100%

Xu Ning’s expression became excited.

[Host.]

"Hm?"

[If you integrate this after entering Heaven Manifestation Realm...]

She opened another line.

Projected Result: Sovereign Dragon Physique Awakening

Shen Tian’s green eyes sharpened.

"Physique?"

[Yes.]

[Your current physical body is already far beyond ordinary cultivators.]

[Battlefield Sovereign inheritance.]

[Imperial Heart.]

[Heavenly Wolf Body Scripture.]

[The purified Blood Dragon Core.]

[They’ve all been building toward something.]

Shen Tian stared.

Then...

The final description appeared.

Shen Tian smiled.

"Store it."

[Stored.]

Another reward.

Xu Ning’s smile became mischievous.

[Reward Five]

Villain Treasury Expansion

System Storage permanently expanded.

Automated Fate Item Classification unlocked.

Automatic inheritance purification unlocked.

Automatic compatibility analysis unlocked.

Shen Tian nodded.

"Convenient."

[You sound disappointed.]

"I was hoping for money."

Xu Ning stared.

[YOU ARE SHEN TIAN.]

"Exactly."

[Your family has more money than some countries.]

"More is more."

Xu Ning covered her face.

Then...

The panel flashed brighter.

[Reward Six]

Final SSS Reward

This...

Made even Xu Ning serious.

Shen Tian looked toward her.

"Something good?"

[Very.]

The panel slowly opened.

Host may now identify the narrative archetype of newly encountered

Examples appeared.

Shen Tian’s smile disappeared.

Transmigrator.

Xu Ning watched him carefully.

"You knew."

[Suspected.]

"About what?"

Xu Ning didn’t answer immediately.

Instead...

The final settlement panel appeared.

Shen Tian stared at the last line.

Then...

Slowly looked toward Xu Ning.

"Five million?"

She smiled.

[Five million.]

"What can I buy?"

[Almost anything currently available.]

A shop exploded open.

Techniques.

Weapons.

Pills.

Formations.

Talismans.

Modern technology.

Cultivation resources.

Rare materials.

Even...

Properties.

Shen Tian blinked.

"Why is there an island?"

Xu Ning looked.

[System Private Island. Now you have two islands.]

"There’s a karaoke building."

[Apparently.]

Shen Tian immediately thought of Chu Zijin.

Then...

Chu Luoshen.

School facilities.

Training grounds.

Private beach.

Medical center.

Security network.

Xu Ning slowly looked toward him.

[You’re considering it.]

"Maybe."

[You just received five million Villain Points and you’re looking at

vacation property.]

"It has missile defense."

[...]

"Practical."

Xu Ning closed the store.

[Later.]

Shen Tian laughed.

Then...

Her expression changed.

[Host.]

"What?"

[The next protagonist has appeared.]

Silence.

Shen Tian’s smile slowly faded.

There it was.

He’d known.

Lu Chen’s arc was over.

The world wouldn’t remain quiet.

Another Son of Destiny.

Another person protected by absurd luck.

Another mountain of Fate waiting to be stolen.

Shen Tian leaned back.

"Panel."

Xu Ning hesitated.

That hesitation...

Immediately interested him.

Then...

The system opened.

[New Protagonist Detected]

Name: Qin Hao

Age: 23

Identity: Eldest Young Master of the Qin Family

Family Classification: Top Four Ancient Aristocratic Families

Shen Tian’s eyebrow rose.

Young master.

That was already different.

Then...

More information appeared.

Public Reputation: Arrogant

Public Reputation: Cruel

Public Reputation: Womanizer

Public Reputation: Wasteful Rich Second Generation

Public Reputation: Villainous Young Master

Shen Tian stared.

Then...

Slowly...

He smiled.

"Finally."

Xu Ning blinked.

[Finally?]

"Someone relatable."

[Host.]

"What?"

[Don’t get excited yet.]

The panel changed.

Destiny Classification: Protagonist

Narrative Archetype: TRANSMIGRATOR

Shen Tian’s eyes narrowed.

There it was.

Xu Ning continued.

Secondary Archetype: VILLAIN SYSTEM USER

Silence.

Shen Tian stopped smiling.

Xu Ning watched.

A new line appeared.

Current Soul Origin: External

Time Since Transmigration: 11 hours

Shen Tian leaned forward.

"He’s like me."

Xu Ning shook her head.

[Similar.]

[Not identical.]

The panel continued.

Original Qin Hao Status: Minor Villain

Original Fate: Death within 9 months

Current Occupant: Transmigrator

System Type: Villain Counterattack System

Shen Tian’s green eyes sharpened.

Interesting.

Very interesting.

A protagonist...

Who transmigrated into a villain.

Not a hero.

Not a mercenary king.

Not some miracle doctor descending the mountain.

A man who knew he was occupying a villain’s body.

A man with a system.

A man who...

Potentially knew exactly how these stories worked.

Shen Tian smiled.

"This one’s going to be annoying."

Xu Ning nodded.

[Extremely.]

The panel expanded.

Qin Hao

Luck: 1,400

Shen Tian’s eyebrow rose.

Higher than Ye Chen’s original luck.

Then...

Current Fate Value: 650,000

Silence.

Xu Ning became serious.

Shen Tian stared.

"Six hundred fifty thousand."

[Yes.]

"Lu Chen peaked below five hundred."

[Yes.]

"And this guy starts at six fifty."

[Yes.]

A smile slowly returned.

"Excellent."

Xu Ning sighed.

[I knew you’d say that.]

The panel continued.

Special Trait: Narrative Awareness

Qin Hao possesses partial knowledge of common urban novel tropes.

Special Trait: Villain’s Foresight

System provides limited information regarding original plot

developments.

Special Trait: Counter Plunder

Qin Hao gains rewards by suppressing other Fate blessed individuals.

Shen Tian stopped.

"Other protagonists?"

[Potentially.]

"So..."

He slowly leaned back.

"...he hunts protagonists too."

[Yes.]

Silence.

For the first time...

Shen Tian wasn’t looking at a conventional Son of Destiny.

He was looking at...

Competition.

Another man operating outside the normal script.

Another man with a system.

Another villain.

Except...

The system still classified Qin Hao as protagonist.

Shen Tian’s smile became sharper.

"That’s funny."

Xu Ning stared.

[What?]

"He’s a protagonist pretending to be a villain."

[Technically he’s genuinely occupying a villain role.]

"Still a protagonist."

[Yes.]

"So I can rob him."
