The System Arrives, But It Wants Me to Wreck the World

"Do you know about the Napkin Theory?"

"On a round table, if someone picks up the napkin to their right, everyone else will pick up their right napkin. If they pick up the left one, others will follow suit."

"And now, I've picked up the initial 'napkin'!"

In the school cafeteria, Su Yuan elegantly took out a napkin to wipe his mouth, sighing softly.

Chu Lanxi, sitting opposite him, tilted his head and said strangely:

"Why are you suddenly so arrogant? Did you just power up, kid?"

"What do you mean power up? I've never been offline, you know,"

Su Yuan's tone was arrogant, his gaze condescending.

Chu Lanxi was silent for a moment, his pair of peach blossom eyes, which made even a dog look deeply affectionate, suddenly curved slightly, and he sneered:

"Since Commander Su is so amazing, you can pay for all the school cafeteria meals from now on. I won't order from you anymore either. How could I dare ask someone as important as you to do my homework?"

With this killer move, the usual Su Yuan would have immediately surrendered. But to Chu Lanxi's surprise, Su Yuan today merely sneered dismissively.

"How can a true man, living between heaven and earth, be dejected and live beneath others!"

Hearing this, Chu Lanxi felt strange.

Could this kid have actually powered up!

And in reality, it was exactly as Chu Lanxi had guessed.

At this moment, a virtual progress bar appeared before Su Yuan's eyes, displaying a line of large characters.

[System Loading]

The instant he saw this line, Su Yuan's eyes welled up with tears!

After years of transmigration, he finally had a system!

Recalling his first eighteen years of life, it could only be described as arduous!

Starting as an orphan, enduring ten years of hardship, even after getting into a key high school, he had to do homework for others and work odd jobs to earn tuition and living expenses, never getting a moment's rest.

Now, everything was different!

The system was here! Heaven was on his side! With the system here, Su Yuan would finally make it!

[System Loading Complete]

The moment the progress bar reached one hundred percent, a crisp mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Su Yuan's mind.

[Ding dong, congratulations to the host for binding with the World-Wrecking System. As long as the host continuously completes Demon Lord Missions, you can become a generation's Devil Venerable.]

[Newbie Demon Lord Mission Issued]

[Mission: Seize Others' Fortunes (Incomplete)]

[As a Demon Lord, killing and stealing treasures should be as simple as eating and drinking. Please snatch others' fortunes and make them your own!]

[Mission Progress: 0/10]

[Mission Reward: Pure Devil Heart]

Su Yuan: "..."

This is f*cking weird, let me look again.

No mistake, it really is the World-Wrecking System!

This... who put this system on me?

I'm a legitimate transmigrator, working my way through school. I couldn't even afford a decent Spiritual Root. Now that the system has finally arrived, it's asking me to do illegal and immoral things right off the bat?

Killing and stealing treasures? Snatching fortunes?

He hadn't stolen a single cent in his entire life. The most immoral thing he had ever done was see a hundred yuan bill on the ground, quickly step on it, and stall for three days and three nights with the owner.

And now this system suddenly appears!

This, who is trying to harm him!

Meanwhile, Chu Lanxi, who had witnessed Su Yuan's expression change from excitement to aloofness, to melancholy, to shock, and finally to despair, could only say "Impressive."

He never thought his classmate, at such a young age, was already such an experienced old actor.

Thump--

Su Yuan suddenly slumped onto the table, grabbing Chu Lanxi's hand and saying, "Dad, I was just joking earlier. Don't take it to heart. Besides, I'm doing so well, how could ordinary students compare to me."

"That's more like it."

Chu Lanxi's lips curved slightly. He picked up his meal tray and left his seat, saying as he went, "I'll leave tonight's homework to you too. I have something on tonight, so don't wait for me."

"Farewell, Godfather."

"Thirty years east, thirty years west, just you wait! (muttering softly)"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, I mean, I'll write homework for you my whole life."

Su Yuan snapped to attention. Only after Chu Lanxi's figure completely disappeared from his sight did Su Yuan look at the annoying system panel and let out a long sigh.

"Damn system, you're ruining me. If you weren't going to come, why give me a Devilish Cultivator system?"

"Now there are god-like surveillance networks everywhere with no blind spots. Devilish Cultivators have no future. If you dare to break the law, they'll catch you for sure!"

After quickly finishing the meal on his plate, Su Yuan left the cafeteria, walked out of the campus, and headed towards the nearby subway.

Flying swords and spirit boats occasionally streaked across the sky, weaving between the tall buildings.

There were even people riding on immortal cranes.

Look, there was even a string of pale yellow auspicious clouds trailing behind the immortal crane.

Wait, that doesn't look like auspicious clouds... that immortal crane just pooped in mid-air!

Fortunately, in the next second, a city sanitation worker on a flying sword shot up into the sky, skillfully holding a bag to catch the aerial dropping. Then, they went to demand a fine from the immortal crane's owner.

Su Yuan was already used to this.

He was a transmigrator. One day after work, he had a stroke of luck while saving someone, and then he arrived in this world with a highly developed cultivation civilization.

As far as he knew, this world called Blue Star was almost at the same developmental level as Earth around three hundred years ago, and there were no cultivators.

But on the eve of the Industrial Revolution, Blue Star's spiritual energy revived, and ruins of various ancient cultivation inheritances appeared, setting this world on a completely different development path than Earth.

After more than three hundred years of bumpy development, human civilization on Blue Star unified, and the world moved towards peace.

By the time Su Yuan reached his era, cultivation knowledge was widespread. High-level cultivators had already left their home planet to explore the vastness of space, and artificial Spiritual Roots had entered every household, truly achieving cultivation for all.

Su Yuan was an orphan who had worked hard to get into a key city Immortal Path High School.

However, with the college entrance exam less than two hundred days away, his grades were only in the upper-middle tier of the entire school, making him unlikely to get into a top Immortal Path academy.

He had thought the system would change this situation, but clearly, his hopes were dashed.

Su Yuan was now considering whether he should learn a trade in advance so he could find a job after graduating from university.

He couldn't possibly go work construction, could he?

The subway arrived at the station, and Su Yuan stopped in front of an apartment building. He skillfully swiped his card to enter, took the flying elevator to the twenty-eighth floor, opened the door to one of the units, and walked in.

This was a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with an actual usable area of over eighty square meters. With Su Yuan's financial situation as an orphan, he couldn't afford such a large place on his own; he was actually sharing it.

His roommate was his good classmate, Chu Lanxi, who was also his "conjugal father and son."

Tomorrow was the Spiritual Energy Revival Commemoration Day, a public holiday that allowed for three consecutive days off. Therefore, Su Yuan wasn't in a hurry to help his "son" with his homework. He lay down on the sofa, took out his phone, and started looking for jobs in various work groups.

He had already given up on the system; only by working could he sustain himself.

Soon, Su Yuan found a job as a waiter in a restaurant. After negotiating the price with the restaurant manager, Su Yuan took out the homework belonging to himself and Chu Lanxi from his storage bag and began writing furiously.

By the time the homework was finished, it was already past midnight.

Experts recommended that Qi Cultivation cultivators sleep for four hours a day. Su Yuan, a Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation cultivator, planned to watch short videos for another hour before sleeping.

Just then, Su Yuan's phone suddenly rang.

Chu Lanxi: Son, Dad has a delivery coming soon, please get it. I'll be home in ten minutes.

After reading the message, Su Yuan tutted.

At that very moment, a whooshing sound suddenly erupted from outside the window.

Su Yuan turned his head and saw a delivery guy wearing a helmet and a yellow robe speeding towards him on a flying sword.

Just before it could crash into Su Yuan's window, the flying sword suddenly turned sideways and braked at the last second right at the window.

"Hello, Kangaroo Delivery is at your service. Here is the Spiritual Fruit you ordered."

Su Yuan opened the window and took the delivery from the courier.

"Enjoy your meal and your life. Please give us a five-star rating."

The delivery guy flashed a row of bright white teeth.

Just as Su Yuan was about to speak, another whooshing sound suddenly came from not far away. He looked over and saw a middle-aged man in a security uniform, riding on a flying fork, chasing after them aggressively!

"Deliveries are not allowed inside! Where do you think you're going, kid!"

The security guard uncle roared, and the flying fork under his feet turned into a sharp red light, shooting out directly towards the delivery guy!

The delivery guy was unfazed. He formed a sword hand seal, and a hundred streams of cyan sword energy surrounded him, meeting the incoming riot control fork!

Amidst the clanging collision of the flying fork and sword energy, the delivery guy fled at lightning speed. Before leaving, he laughed heartily:

"Old Wang, your fork isn't fast enough, and it's not fierce enough! You should just go home and retire!"

"Hmph!"

The security guard uncle snorted coldly. With a remote gesture, two missiles shot out from the tip of the riot control fork. To the delivery guy's astonished gaze, they sped towards him.

With two booming sounds, the missiles hit the delivery guy, transforming into two large spirit energy nets that bound him tightly.

"Didn't expect this, did you? Our property management's equipment has been upgraded!"

The security guard waved his hand, and the flying fork returned to his feet. He grabbed the disheveled delivery guy with one hand, then turned to Su Yuan and saluted seriously:

"Protecting the safety of our residents is my bounden duty!"

With that, he flew away with the delivery guy.

Su Yuan: "..."

Is this what experts call a battle? But something feels off about the style.

Su Yuan was practically a local, so he was only slightly surprised. He closed the window and pretended nothing had happened.

Looking at the heavy packaging bag and then at the price on the receipt, Su Yuan's mouth twitched.

Chu Lanxi really knows how to enjoy himself. Goes out to have fun all night, and still wants some fruit when he gets back. Why is the gap between people so huge?

He casually opened the packaging bag and glanced at the bright red boxed fruit slices inside. Just as he was about to put them on the table, a "ding-dong" suddenly sounded in his ear.

[Demon Lord Mission: Seize Opportunity (In Progress)]

Su Yuan: "???"

What is this?!

Ten minutes later, Chu Lanxi, wearing a black leather jacket and with legs that seemed to go on forever, walked into the house. He reached for the takeout bag on the table by the door, only to find it empty?

"Strange, where's my dragon fruit?"

Chu Lanxi muttered, turned on the light, and scanned the living room. He heard rustling sounds coming from Su Yuan's room.

He tiptoed to Su Yuan's bedroom door and pushed open the half-closed door. He saw Su Yuan sitting at his desk, back to the door, hunched over and doing something.

A faint fruity aroma wafted from that direction.

Chu Lanxi's eyebrows shot up. He strode towards Su Yuan, grabbed him by the back of the neck, stared at the scarlet fruit juice staining Su Yuan's lips, and narrowed his eyes as he growled:

"Where's my damn dragon fruit? Su Yuan, have you seen it?"

"No, no."

Su Yuan avoided his gaze.

Chu Lanxi pointed directly at the box of fruit slices Su Yuan had hidden in the drawer:

"Then what are you eating?"

"Ba, banana."

Su Yuan continued to play dumb, desperately trying to swallow the last bite of dragon fruit.
