Villain: Suppress the Protagonist at the Start and Snatch the School Belle. Author: Villain Mercenary
A transmigration-and-rebirth novel world.
Su Lin discovered that he had actually become a Villain from a book.
When he learned that the Protagonist, Ye Feng, would be reborn in three days, he swiftly made arrangements, leaving the reborn Ye Feng dumbfounded.
The goddess he had once adored treated him coldly.
Even his childhood sweetheart was indifferent toward him.
Ye Feng, who had returned through rebirth, had thought he could reach the pinnacle of life. Instead, he could only fade into obscurity among the masses.
Meanwhile, relying on his foreknowledge and familiarity with the formulas of shallow webnovels, Su Lin thrived in this world.
His story became increasingly exciting.
Reborn Protagonists, miracle doctors descending from the mountains, returning soldier kings... Su Lin handled them one by one and ultimately forged a legend.
He had transmigrated into a novel world and become a villainous male supporting character?
March, 20XX!
Class 1, Senior Year 3, Jiangning No. 1 High School, Zhongjiang City!
Written on the blackboard were the words: One hundred days until the college entrance examination!
At the podium.
The homeroom teacher, Wang Yi, said sternly, "I believe everyone in the class has already heard that Xia Shiyu's father is suffering from kidney failure and uremia."
"Given that Xia Shiyu's family situation is far from optimistic, the school has organized this donation drive."
"Everyone should contribute according to your family circumstances. Those with money can donate more, and those without can donate less. Understood?"
"Understood~!!"
Hearing the students' response, Wang Yi nodded in satisfaction. "All right, class dismissed. I don't want to take up too much of your break either."
With that, Wang Yi picked up the handouts on the desk and walked out of the classroom.
At the same time, Su Lin, who was seated in the third row, finally finished processing all the memories in his mind.
He murmured in disbelief, "I actually transmigrated! And into a book, at that."
Su Lin had never imagined that he would transmigrate into a book.
Twenty minutes ago, he had been about to read the final arc of Rebirth of the Perfect Tycoon. He had not expected that a brief nap would send him here. What was more, he had transmigrated to the beginning of the very same book.
He had become a villainous supporting character with the same name as him.
The reason Su Lin had managed to force himself through that somewhat clichéd rebirth novel was precisely because this supporting character shared his name.
Looking at the date on the blackboard, Su Lin shook his head. This was not the beginning—more accurately, it was three days before the plot began.
In other words, three days from now, the book's male lead, Ye Feng, would be reborn.
Then Ye Feng would persuade his childhood sweetheart, Xia Shiyu, to misappropriate the donated funds to stockpile game equipment, completing the primitive accumulation of his first pot of gold. After gathering enough money, he would first pay for Xia Shiyu's father's kidney transplant, then open chain milk tea shops and internet cafés, establish campus and tutoring websites, venture into real estate, and climb to the pinnacle of life!!!
During that time, he would make a bet with Su Lin, drawing the attention of Lin Xiaowan, the original novel's moonlight goddess, and thoroughly humiliate Su Lin. Later, he would set a trap for Su Lin's father, Su Zhenguo, through real estate, leaving his family ruined and scattered.
To the point where Su Lin would not even dare attend Lin Xiaowan's birthday banquet.
At that thought, Su Lin instinctively looked toward Lin Xiaowan, who was seated beside the aisle.
With just a glimpse of her profile, Su Lin could tell that this girl's looks were outrageously stunning.
Her face was fair and flawless, her long legs pressed neatly together, her waist slender, her posture upright, and her figure beautifully curved.
Perhaps sensing someone looking at her, Lin Xiaowan set down her pen and turned her head. Their eyes met, and Su Lin was even more amazed. Although Lin Xiaowan had not fully grown into her beauty yet, she already eclipsed countless celebrity School Belles back on Earth.
One important reason Su Lin had made it to the ending was Lin Xiaowan. Although the original author had written the male lead rather poorly, Lin Xiaowan's character was genuinely well-crafted, and Su Lin liked her very much.
Seeing Su Lin's gaze, Lin Xiaowan furrowed her brows, and a flash of disgust crossed her eyes.
Su Lin was the Vice Class Monitor of Class 1, Senior Year 3. He was handsome, academically gifted, and from a good family. He could be called the prince charming in the eyes of many girls.
But Lin Xiaowan did not like Su Lin at all.
Su Lin always spoke with an arrogant air of looking down on others, especially when dealing with poor classmates. The contempt in his eyes was plainly visible.
She hated the way Su Lin acted so superior, as though everyone else were beneath him.
In terms of family background, Lin Xiaowan far surpassed Su Lin. Yet she usually treated people warmly and never viewed anyone around her through tinted glasses.
That was why Lin Xiaowan was so popular throughout Jiangning No. 1 High School. She received countless love letters every day, and her desk was always stuffed with snacks.
When Su Lin saw the disgust in Lin Xiaowan's eyes, he merely smiled faintly and did not care.
Having read the book, Su Lin knew just how much Lin Xiaowan hated his former self.
Changing Lin Xiaowan's impression of him was not something that could be accomplished with just a few words.
Seeing Su Lin lower his gaze to the textbook on his desk, Lin Xiaowan assumed he was putting on an act. She curled her lips and continued working on her problems.
Thinking about his current situation, Su Lin sighed softly. "Sigh, I've read plenty of villain novels before, but I've really never read a villain novel set in a rebirth story."
"Besides, this is an alternate world. Ye Feng is a reborn native, so his advantage is enormous. As long as he completes the primitive accumulation of his first capital, succeeding will be easy for him."
"But I'm not without advantages either. My advantage is that I have an entire Earth backing me up. And I'm familiar with the plot of this book."
Su Lin weighed his current circumstances. Ye Feng had great advantages, but Su Lin's were not small either. As long as he did not risk his life, he could live very well in this world. But Ye Feng would likewise live very well.
And that guy even had a cheat. After being reborn, his memory was exceptional. Although it did not reach the level of Eidetic Memory, he could firmly remember things after reading them a few more times.
At that thought, Su Lin paused.
A cheat?
That was right, a cheat. How could a transmigrator like him possibly not have a cheat?
Su Lin called out silently, "Come out, System~!!"
Ding~! The Super Villain System had finished loading... It had not been activated.
Activation conditions: Suppress Ye Feng, the male lead who returned through rebirth, preventing him from smoothly obtaining his first pot of gold and from gaining the favor of School Belles Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan. Also change Lin Xiaowan's and Xia Shiyu's subjective impressions of the host.
Hearing the System's voice, Su Lin was overjoyed.
"I knew it. I'm a transmigrator, after all. How could I possibly not have a cheat?"
Su Lin looked toward Ye Feng, who was sitting in the corner, and a bold thought arose in his heart. Should he find a way to take him out in one shot and settle everything directly?
He quickly rejected that idea. Azure Star and Earth were highly similar, and this was a complete society governed by law.
If he killed Ye Feng now, something uncontrollable might happen.
After all, Ye Feng was the Protagonist, the child of fortune in this world.
There was no need for him to drag himself down over one Ye Feng.
Su Lin's Method of Dealing with Ye Feng
Suppress Ye Feng?
Su Lin remembered that Ye Feng's first pot of gold came from stockpiling an item called the Necklace of Fate in the game Angel City.
The Necklace of Fate itself was not valuable. Before the update, it only cost fifty yuan each. But a few days later, when the game version updated, everyone suddenly discovered that the splash damage on the Necklace of Fate had a bug—the damage could stack infinitely. As long as one person in a party had the necklace, they could clear the newest World Boss dungeon.
In an instant, the Necklace of Fate became highly sought after. Its price rose from two hundred yuan all the way to a peak of over six thousand yuan, until the developers discovered the bug and released a patch limiting the splash effect to five stacks. Only then did the price plummet.
Ye Feng took advantage of that opportunity, using the fifty thousand yuan in charitable donations collected by the school to stockpile Necklaces of Fate and earn several million in one wave.
Now that he knew how Ye Feng had made his first pot of gold, Su Lin felt that dealing with him would be much easier.
Next, he needed to find someone to handle things. Su Lin turned his attention to Chen Yang in the back row.
Like Xia Shiyu, Chen Yang was one of the poorest students in the class. His parents had died early, leaving only him, his elderly grandfather, and a ten-year-old younger sister who was in the second year of middle school. Other than the little money his grandfather occasionally earned farming, they relied entirely on subsidies to survive. He usually gave others the impression of being fierce and hot-tempered, but Su Lin knew that was merely a protective shell he had put on himself.
In the original novel, Ye Feng lent one hundred yuan to pay for Chen Yang's younger sister's medical treatment and gained an extremely loyal lackey and thug, who did many shady things for Ye Feng.
Later on, Ye Feng did not even spare Chen Yang's younger sister, taking her into his harem.
After school, Ye Feng deliberately slowed down. He knew Chen Yang was always the last to leave the classroom every day, all so he could go to the cafeteria and collect leftover food to bring home for his younger sister.
Only after seeing that no one remained in the classroom did Chen Yang sling his backpack over his shoulder and prepare to leave.
The moment he stepped out of the classroom, he saw Su Lin leaning against the window.
Chen Yang frowned without saying anything. Su Lin had always despised poor students like them. He normally could not even be bothered to say an extra word, and whenever he did speak, it was in a commanding tone. So clearly, Su Lin was not specifically waiting for him. As for why Su Lin was standing here, Chen Yang was neither curious nor interested in finding out.
Chen Yang was about to leave when Su Lin called out, "Chen Yang~!"
Chen Yang turned back and looked at Su Lin in confusion. "Vice Class Monitor, what is it?"
Su Lin nodded. "How about we talk while we walk?"
Chen Yang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
The two headed downstairs together.
"The college entrance exam is coming up soon. Have you thought about where you want to go for university?"
Chen Yang shook his head and mocked, "University? Vice Class Monitor, are you making fun of me?"
