LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 3
Chapter 3: Great Rewards, A Plan to Torture Su Qing to Death!:
[Ding! It is detected that the host has entered the plot…]
[Main mission initiated]
[Ding! Release of main mission: Kill Lin Yun, the Son of Luck]
[Special note (killing method): The Son of Luck can be killed only after reducing his luck value to 3%]
[Ding! It is detected that the host has independently altered the plot, awarding a novice gift pack.]
“System?” Qin Yuan’s eyes brightened but soon calmed.
Relax, relax, this was standard procedure.
If something as outrageous as transmigrating into novels could happen, then the existence of a system was just as plausible.
However, this newbie gift pack was definitely worth it.
After all, Qin Yuan had read many cultivation novels.
“System, open the novice gift pack.”
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Villain Halo, a Physical Upgrade Card, and an Eighth Turn Holy Elixir.]
[Villain Halo]: Suppresses the protagonist’s aura, aligning the world with its intended course, and does not lower intelligence. However, if there is a significant relationship with the protagonist in the original story, the villain’s aura might become ineffective, potentially reducing intelligence.
[Physical Upgrade Card]: Enhances physical abilities without any limitations.
[Eighth Turn Holy Elixir]: Extends life by 1,000 years. If used properly, it may even lead to a breakthrough in cultivation.
Qin Yuan’s eyes lit up with excitement.
This novice gift pack was truly extraordinary, offering everything he needed.
The Physical Upgrade Card could elevate his body to new heights.
As the eldest son of his family and the Holy Son of the Sky Holy Land, he naturally possessed the Holy Body, known as the Chaos Body.
If he used the Physical Upgrade Card, his Chaos Body might undergo a qualitative transformation, perhaps evolving into the legendary Chaos God and Demon Body.
The Eighth Turn Holy Elixir also held immense value.
His grandfather, Qin Batian, had only a few years left to live.
The novel explained that Qin Batian had battled the Demon Emperor for years, leaving him with hidden wounds that drastically reduced his lifespan.
But why were the other great emperors in the novel unaffected?
Logically, a great emperor’s lifespan should be as long as the heavens, making it impossible to have just a few years left.
This contradiction made sense, though.
After all, the original author likely wrote this because Qin Yuan was the villain.
A villain with an emperor in their corner would pose a significant threat to the protagonist.
The system’s Eighth Turn Holy Elixir was perfectly suited for his grandfather, and if it could further enhance him, all the better.
While these two items were valuable, Qin Yuan believed the Villain Halo was the most precious.
As everyone knows, when a protagonist’s halo was active, those around them inexplicably lose their wits and become foolish.
Even ancient monsters with tens of thousands of years of experience would turn into fools when confronted with the protagonist’s halo.
But now that Qin Yuan had the Villain Halo, he wouldn’t suddenly lose his intelligence. Instead, it significantly increased his ability to weaken the protagonist.
As for the Villain Halo becoming ineffective?
Qin Yuan wasn’t concerned.
It was explained that only those who had a close relationship with the protagonist in the original plot would experience reduced intelligence.
In simple terms, if one had a good relationship with the protagonist, their intelligence would be reduced. But for those who didn’t, even ordinary people, there would be no reduction in intelligence.
…
“What functions does the system have?” Qin Yuan inquired.
[Ding! The system functions are as follows…]
[Methods for plundering luck points (and earning villain points):…]
[1. Disrupt the original plot of the novel]
[2. Seize opportunities from the Son of Destiny]
[3. Suppress the Son of Destiny until his mentality collapses]
[4. Kill or steal the ally of the Son of Destiny and other related supporting characters]
[Special Note: All villain points and rewards are given based on the situation. If the process is well-executed, additional rewards can be obtained.]
“Interesting.” Qin Yuan’s eyes gleamed with a hint of conspiracy as he reviewed the system’s methods for reducing the Son of Destiny’s luck. The fourth method particularly caught his attention—targeting those close to the Son of Destiny.
He set his sights on Su Qing, who was beaten and battered in front of him.
Killing him outright?
No, that would be too merciful.
Qin Yuan had a better idea.
In the shocked silence of the crowd, he coldly ordered, “Law Enforcement Hall, where is the law enforcement elder?”
A tense silence followed until a middle-aged man in a yellow robe stepped forward, trembling, “I’m here.”
Qin Yuan’s gaze grew cold as he addressed him, “He broke into the Holy Son’s Hall without permission and shouted. According to sect rules, what is the punishment?”
Everyone present was stunned.
The middle-aged man, sweating profusely, responded, “According to the sect’s rules, those who rashly enter the Holy Son’s Hall and speak disrespectfully should suffer the Five Thunders punishment that tortures the heart, have their cultivation abolished, endure ten years in the Black Devil’s Cave, and then be expelled from the Holy Land!”
The hall erupted in shock.
“The Black Devil’s Cave!”
Su Qing, collapsed on the ground, was terrified, his hair standing on end, his eyes wide with fear. The
Black Devil’s Cave was a place of utter despair, filled with monsters and demons.
Only those who committed the gravest crimes were sent there, and almost no one survived.
Spending 10 years there was a fate worse than death.
Even a single day could drive a person mad.
This punishment was a death sentence for Su Qing, more severe than a mere execution.
While execution would kill him instantly, this punishment promised torture worse than death itself.
The Five Thunders punishment, although not fatal, would cause unbearable pain. Each aspect of this punishment was a thousand times more agonizing than death.
The onlookers were equally shocked, their faces filled with disbelief.
Then, murmurs of surprise and mockery spread throughout the crowd.
“Holy crap, the Black Devil’s Cave! That’s not a place for anyone to survive!”
“The Holy Son is truly ruthless!”
“Hahaha, Su Qing is in deep trouble now. He usually flaunts his power under the Holy Son’s protection, acting like he’s untouchable. Let’s see how he handles this!”
“I can already imagine his terrified expression!”
The crowd laughed mockingly, taking satisfaction in Su Qing’s predicament.
After all, he had often bullied them under Qin Yuan’s protection, so they relished the opportunity to slander and ridicule him now.
“I… I don’t want to go!” Su Qing, terrified at the thought of entering the Black Devil’s Cave, panicked.
“Qin Yuan! You can’t do this to me! I’m your future brother-in-law! Just beat me up again instead!” With his face swollen and bruised, Su Qing begged Qin Yuan for mercy.
He was so desperate to avoid the Black Devil’s Cave that he even offered to be beaten again, as long as he didn’t have to go to that dreadful place.
“Qin Yuan, don’t you like my sister? If you let me go this time, I can put in a good word for you with her. I guarantee you can win her over.” Su Qing pleaded, repeatedly mentioning his sister.
He was convinced that Qin Yuan still harbored feelings for his sister, Su Mengyao.
In the original novel, whenever Su Qing mentioned his sister, the original Qin Yuan’s demeanor would change instantly, more dramatically than a face-changing opera actor.
