Long Aotian, the God of War, truly wanted to make a move.
This was a chance to display his strength!
But that damned Lu Chengwen, why…why wasn't he acting arrogant with him?
He was pulling and tugging, single-handedly blocking a dozen or so subordinates, sweating profusely from all the effort; was it really necessary?
Let them come over, I beg you!
I crave this wave of experience points too much!
If I don't grind a bit, I won't be able to wrap things up today!
Lu Chengwen had also made up his mind.
"【I absolutely cannot let you gain experience points! No, no, not today!】
"【From now on, you are heaven, you are a god, whatever you say goes, I won't argue with you.】
"【If you can take Leng Qingqiu, take her. If you can't, that's your own problem. Just don't mess with me!】
Long Aotian was almost driven mad.
"That…Lu Shao, are you perhaps very displeased with me?"
Lu Chengwen finally managed to calm everyone down, spreading his arms to block the group of bodyguards:
"No, no! I'm very pleased, I'm ecstatic! I think you and Qingqiu are a perfect match. Send me a wedding invitation when you get married, and I'll contribute a gift!"
Long Aotian had nowhere to release his pent-up energy and paced anxiously:
"How about you let them come over, after all, they're sticking up for you."
"No, no, no, rest assured, with me here today, not one of them will get past!"
Lu Chengwen turned and shouted at the bodyguards: "Whoever moves, I'll kill them!"
Leng Qingqiu also realized that Lu Chengwen truly seemed to be able to predict some future events.
And now the entire situation's flavor had changed.
Now it looked like: Lu Chengwen was intent on keeping the peace, while Long Aotian seemed to think the matter wasn't big enough and insisted on causing a huge commotion.
Leng Qingqiu had seen through Long Aotian's pretense and angrily said: "Long Aotian, that's enough! Get out! Get out now! Otherwise, I'm calling the police!"
Long Aotian's face was ashen.
I, the dignified God of War, returned; no one in the entire outer territory dared to humiliate me like this.
To think I would suffer such humiliation today!
"Good! I'll leave. But Qingqiu, please believe that in the future, no matter when, no matter where, no matter what danger you encounter, I will step forward, even if it means opposing the entire world!"
Leng Qingqiu suppressed her disgust and raised a hand, pointing: "Get out, quickly."
Long Aotian had nothing more to say.
His face was almost black. He turned around and glared fiercely at Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen was on the verge of tears and cautiously said: "It's really not my fault, I also…didn't quite understand. You…must be quite suffocated, right?"
Long Aotian snorted and walked away with a dark expression.
Lu Chengwen almost vomited in the restroom.
After the previous few rounds of transmigration, he summarized the three iron laws of villain survival.
First, do not act arrogant or argue with the protagonist; that is absolutely the fastest path to self-destruction.
What kind of person is the protagonist? Can he tolerate you showing off to him? He wants to deal with you even if you don't show off; if you show off…he'll kill you.
Second, do not touch the protagonist's women; stay as far away as possible. Those brainless women are all poisonous. When the protagonist kills you, they will only clap and praise the protagonist as brave and invincible, throwing themselves into his arms.
Third, absolutely do not do bad things.
If you let the protagonist see you doing bad things, haha, you've hit the jackpot. You will become the protagonist's experience pack, contributing a small effort to the protagonist's grand scheme of showing off.
Ding-dong!
System notification:
"Dear! Congratulations, Host, on completing the initial survival test phase! Difficulty level: one star. We have prepared the first stage of rewards for you, dear!"
Lu Chengwen: "What's the reward?"
"We're rewarding you with a sports car, dear!"
Lu Chengwen's eyes widened: "Are you kidding? I am the eldest son of the Lu Family, the head of the Four Great Families in Snow City, a rich man who controls Dasheng Group! I just barely escaped with my life from that beast Long Aotian, and you're rewarding me with a luxury car?"
"Host, don't get excited. This luxury car is not ordinary, dear!"
"What's so special about it?!" Lu Chengwen shouted.
"This sports car has a full four wheels, dear!"
"You great…"
Lu Chengwen suppressed his anger: "What's going on with that dead girl Leng Qingqiu? According to the plot, wasn't she supposed to leave with the God of War? What is this now?"
"We are currently unaware of the situation with Qingqiu. If you wish to know more details, please initiate a conversation with her, Host."
"I'll talk to her about six! Long Aotian's gaze just now was already one that wanted to strangle me!" Lu Chengwen was on the verge of going crazy.
After venting his anger, Lu Chengwen cowered again: "Please, think of a way to get them to reunite quickly. If this continues, you guys will kill me sooner or later!"
"Please don't worry, Host. The feedback we're giving you is that we want to kill you, dear!"
"You son of a bitch—!"
...
In Lu Guanghong's study.
Lu Guanghong's face was stern: "Sit."
Lu Chengwen sat down cautiously.
"Speak, what's going on, what bad intentions are you harboring again?"
"Nothing." Lu Chengwen was baffled.
"Hmph! You think you can fool me? Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?" Lu Guanghong said sternly: "Let me tell you! You'd better settle down and treat Qingqiu well, or I won't let you off."
Lu Chengwen said: "She won't marry me. Everyone in Snow City knows how much she dislikes me."
"Then why did she suddenly do a 180-degree turn today and agree to the marriage alliance?"
"I really don't know! I'm baffled too!"
"Then why did you suddenly put on airs and no longer want the marriage alliance?"
"I…have great love in my heart!"
Lu Guanghong narrowed his eyes: "You are truly becoming more and more shameless now."
Lu Chengwen was extremely depressed, even too lazy to speak.
"Take a gift and go visit your godfather later."
Lu Chengwen was stunned: "My godfather?"
Oh, right.
The initial framework of this book:
Snow City had the Lu, Chen, Xu, and Leng, Four Great Families.
Among them, the Lu Family was the most powerful, followed by the Chen and Xu families. The Leng Family, due to poor management in recent years, almost collapsed entirely.
Fortunately, Leng Qingqiu took over in adversity and worked for two years, turning losses into profits, stabilizing the Leng Family's overall situation and preventing complete bankruptcy.
Therefore, the Leng Family was very enthusiastic about the marriage alliance.
The Leng Family was not unaware of Lu Chengwen's character, but currently, the only family in Snow City capable and willing to save the Leng Family was the Lu Family.
So, for the sake of family interests, they could only enter into a marriage alliance.
Inwardly, they actually looked down on Lu Chengwen.
This was the frustrating part of this book.
His villain persona was almost perfect: tall, handsome, from a wealthy and affluent family, successful at a young age, talented, leading Dasheng Group through thorns and thistles, dominating the business world.
But precisely such a man, who stood at the top of the human food chain in the real world, was inexplicably a simp for the main female lead, Leng Qingqiu.
Everything was to make the protagonist's trampling of him more satisfying.
The more excellent the villain, the more satisfying it was for the protagonist to defeat him!
For Leng Qingqiu, he relied on his deep background to act arrogant with the protagonist, only to be humiliated and dealt with by the protagonist in various bizarre ways, and finally directly killed…
This was his destiny, the destiny of this perfect minor villain.
To survive, he had to avoid all conflicts with the protagonist.
The primary conflict was his relationship with Leng Qingqiu.
He had to stay far away from Leng Qingqiu, as far as possible.
As long as he endured until the grand finale, he could return to reality with generous rewards, become a rich, handsome, and successful man, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reach the pinnacle of life!
He could also cure his mother's illness.
The Lu Family had been established in Snow City for a long time and had good relationships with the Chen, Xu, and Leng families.
Especially with the old master of the Chen Family, Lu Guanghong had even acknowledged him as his godfather, meaning he was his godfather, Chen Qiushou.
Recently, godfather Chen Qiushou had been bedridden. Everyone from the Lu Family had visited, but he, being playful and dissolute, hadn't shown up yet.
Drop off the gift, say hello, and then quickly run away!
Yes! That's the plan!
Just as he left the door, he saw the Big Guy he had held back at the engagement banquet counting his men.
Big Guy Zhao Gang's face was full of anger: "Are all the men here?"
More than thirty bodyguards stood in rows and shouted: "All here!"
"Good!"
Zhao Gang's anger had not subsided, his face dark: "Lu Shao's engagement ceremony was ruined by that guy named Long Aotian! Can we swallow this insult?"
Everyone shouted: "No!"
"That's right! Lu Shao is our boss. In Snow City, only Lu Shao has ever robbed men and abducted women, committing all sorts of evil deeds. No one can bully Lu Shao!"
Everyone raised their fists and shouted: "Rob men and abduct women! Commit all sorts of evil deeds! Rob men and abduct women! Commit all sorts of evil deeds!"
Zhao Gang made a graceful gesture, and everyone instantly fell silent, perfectly in unison.
"Therefore! We are going to find Long Aotian, beat Long Aotian soundly, and get Lu Shao's dignity back!"
"Find Long Aotian! Beat Long Aotian soundly! Rob men and abduct women, commit all sorts of evil deeds! Rob men and abduct women, commit all sorts of evil deeds…"
Lu Chengwen quickly ran over and pulled Zhao Gang: "What are you doing?"
"Oh! Lu Shao, you're here!" Zhao Gang said excitedly: "Lu Shao, I have nine ways to kill that Long Aotian, nine ways! Just watch me!"
Lu Chengwen kicked him in the butt: "Are you idle or something?"
Lu Chengwen looked at these thirty-odd well-built young men: "From now on, don't shout 'rob men and abduct women' so loudly. Don't I need to be a respectable person?"
Zhao Gang was confused, scratching his head: "Lu Shao, you used to…not care about your reputation!"
Lu Chengwen was trembling with anger: "I care about my reputation now, alright?!"
"Oh!" Zhao Gang said loudly: "Did everyone understand? Now our Lu Shao wants to both be a prostitute and put up a memorial arch! Grasp the spirit!"
Everyone raised their fists and shouted in unison: "Be a prostitute! Put up a memorial arch! Be a prostitute! Put up a memorial arch!"
Lu Chengwen roared: "Get out! All of you, get out!"
One young man walked away, still raising his fist and muttering softly: "Be a prostitute…put up a memorial arch…"
Lu Chengwen went to kick him: "You little brat, don't walk away, I'm going to fight you today!"
Zhao Gang held him back: "Hey, hey, hey, Lu Shao, Lu Shao, this is all trained according to your instructions! Everyone is used to it."
Lu Chengwen panted: "You trained them?"
"That's right. Don't worry, I understand what you mean. That stinking beggar Long Aotian, I'm going to…"
Lu Chengwen pulled him: "Zhao Gang."
"Lu Shao."
"We are brothers."
Lu Chengwen spoke sincerely.
He had to be sincere; he had figured it out. This brute was too damn reckless.
And he was single-minded, impervious to reason; if you told him anything else, he wouldn't understand.
The key was that if he continued to act like this, all the blame would fall on him, and Long Aotian would still end up killing him.
So, he could only coax and trick him.
Zhao Gang was deeply moved: "Lu Shao, I'm not worthy, I'm just a…"
Lu Chengwen said: "If we're brothers, don't come and chop me! Listen, don't provoke that Long Aotian in the future. Tell everyone to walk around Long Aotian. Understand?"
"Why?"
Zhao Gang said: "I don't understand."
