After finishing his chat with Wen Jing, Wang Haoran connected with the system.
His Villain Points had reached 1,100, a record high.
The System Shop required at least 1,000 Villain Points to exchange for anything.
Filled with anticipation, Wang Haoran had the system display the items he could afford in the shop.
An interface appeared, listing the items and their prices, much like browsing Taobao.
However, the items in this shop could only be bought with Villain Points.
There were very few items he could exchange for with 1,100 Villain Points, so only a dozen or so were displayed.
Grandmaster Calligraphy and Painting Imitation Skill: 1,000 Villain Points
Grandmaster Cooking Skill: 1,000 Villain Points
Movie Emperor Acting Skill: 1,000 Villain Points
Grandmaster Practical Wing Chun: 1,000 Villain Points
Grandmaster Performance Martial Art Lightning Five Whips: 1,000 Villain Points
Low-Grade Beauty Pill: 1,100 Villain Points (Note: Freezes aging after consumption; the effect lasts thirty years.)
After looking through all the products, Wang Haoran felt a little conflicted.
A qualified villain would inevitably encounter situations where he needed to deceive and lie. If he had Movie Emperor Acting Skill, wouldn't every lie be convincing?
This skill was practically essential for a supervillain.
Combat Power below the average level was Wang Haoran's biggest weakness at the moment. Grandmaster Practical Wing Chun could greatly increase his Combat Power.
The Low-Grade Beauty Pill could preserve youth. Although the effect only lasted thirty years, it was still very appealing.
Just imagine it: when you were forty-eight, all your peers had become fat and greasy, while you still looked eighteen.
Walking down the street with an eighteen-year-old girl would not seem out of place at all.
Just thinking about it felt great.
He wanted all three, but his Villain Points were only enough for one.
Wang Haoran considered it for a few seconds before ultimately choosing Grandmaster Practical Wing Chun.
In terms of looks, academics, and money, he completely crushed Chu Bai. The only thing he could not match Chu Bai in was Combat Power.
He would raise his Combat Power first.
After clicking to learn and use "Grandmaster Practical Wing Chun," Wang Haoran immediately felt much more energized.
He clenched his fists and casually threw a few Wing Chun strikes, feeling as though he had endless strength.
If it were not already past midnight, and if shouting did not risk making people think he was insane—
He really wanted to roar, "I can take on ten!" Then he checked his status panel.
Host: Wang Haoran Combat Power: 289 Charm Value: 268 Villain Halo: 209 Villain Points: 100 Skills: Grandmaster Calligraphy and Painting Imitation Skill, Grandmaster Practical Wing Chun
His attributes finally had no weaknesses. This was what a true handsome, rich, and capable man looked like! His Combat Power had risen from 89 to 289, clearly because he had learned Grandmaster Practical Wing Chun.
Chu Bai's Combat Power was only 155.
Wang Haoran now crushed him in Combat Power as well.
The next day.
During the afternoon break, the students preparing for the college entrance exam were still busy studying.
Chu Bai casually picked out a few questions, intending to ask Xu Muyan for help.
Wen Jing would never give up her seat for him, so Chu Bai naturally had to rely on himself. He directly moved his stool over and placed it beside Xu Muyan's desk.
Xu Muyan had no feelings for Chu Bai, so his actions annoyed her a little.
Everyone was racing toward the college entrance exam. Whose time was not precious?
Answering him was a favor; refusing was her right.
Besides, all the questions Chu Bai asked were simple ones. Did he really have to ask her?
Still, even though Xu Muyan was unwilling, out of kindness and friendship with a classmate, she planned to reluctantly answer him.
Chu Bai did not notice Xu Muyan's change in mood.
Even if he had noticed, he would have done the same.
When picking up girls, you had to be thick-skinned and do things your own way.
If you always catered to a girl's wishes, how could you possibly pick her up?
However—
Before Xu Muyan could explain the questions to Chu Bai, Wang Haoran came over as well.
Wang Haoran switched seats with Wen Jing and directly became Xu Muyan's temporary deskmate. He held a test paper in his hand and seemed to be planning to discuss schoolwork with Xu Muyan too.
Chu Bai immediately got angry and cursed inwardly.
Wang Haoran is clearly doing this on purpose, always getting in the way of me picking up girls!
You'd better pray I don't run into you on a dark road, or I'll beat you so badly even your whole family won't recognize you! Chu Bai seethed inwardly, but he did not show it. He merely said expressionlessly, "Excuse me, I was here first."
"Oh, really? I only have one question. Let me ask Xu Muyan first, then you can ask yours," Wang Haoran said.
"I only have one question too," Chu Bai retorted.
"Which one?"
"This one." Chu Bai casually pointed at a question on the test paper.
"That one's easy. Let me explain it to you."
Wang Haoran took the test paper and patiently explained the problem. Chu Bai was so frustrated that he did not listen at all.
About three minutes later.
"Do you understand now?" Wang Haoran asked Chu Bai after finishing his explanation.
"I..."
"No way, no way. You didn't understand it? This problem is really simple, and I explained it very clearly. But it's fine. If you didn't understand, I'll explain it again." Wang Haoran was extremely patient.
But Chu Bai had neither that patience nor the nerve.
Wang Haoran had already said the problem was simple, yet he had not understood it.
If Wang Haoran explained it again, would that not make him look too stupid?
Besides, Xu Muyan was watching right beside him.
Naturally, Chu Bai would not embarrass himself like that.
"Wang Haoran, thank you so much," Chu Bai said through gritted teeth.
"You're welcome." Wang Haoran smiled as warmly as a spring breeze.
Chu Bai was furious, but he could only carry his stool back to his original seat unwillingly.
At the same time, Wang Haoran received a system notification.
Ding! The host has prevented protagonist Chu Bai from approaching one of the Female Leads, Xu Muyan, affecting the plot's development. Villain Points gained: 100.
