But no matter how you looked at it, the Pure Devil Heart had brought him nothing but benefits. So far, he hadn't seen any downsides.
Su Yuan was quite satisfied with the reward for this mission.
After finishing the beginner mission, he went to the security office in his residential compound and worked a shift. When midnight came, he headed back to his rental apartment.
School started tomorrow, so Su Yuan didn't stay up late. He washed up, then fell straight into bed.
The past three days had been a frantic blur, and he was more than a little exhausted.
Even in his sleep, the Pure Devil Heart's effects began to show. Before, no matter how sleepy he was, he'd still prop his eyelids open and stare at his phone for a while after lying down. But with this devil heart, when he decided to sleep, he slept—without a single distracting thought.
He'd never have to worry about insomnia again.
At five in the morning, he woke feeling bright and refreshed. When he stepped out of his room, he saw Chu Lanxi lounging on the sofa in his pajamas, perfectly at ease.
Watching Chu Lanxi's fingers tap away on his phone screen, Su Yuan's eyes flickered. "Lanzi, are you ordering takeout?"
Chu Lanxi lifted his gaze from his phone and smiled at Su Yuan. "You want some too? Call me godfather."
A look of struggle immediately appeared on Su Yuan's face, but in the end, he reluctantly called Chu Lanxi "godfather."
As co-godfathers and godsons, Su Yuan and Chu Lanxi had called each other godfather countless times. Su Yuan didn't actually have any qualms about saying it.
He only acted reluctant so his good son Chu Lanxi could get his fill of emotional validation.
Yes, this was another part of their little game.
Chu Lanxi immediately looked satisfied. "Your father will buy his good son breakfast right away."
So Su Yuan did what he usually did and sat back to wait for breakfast.
Before long, the whistle of a flying sword rang out. The delivery driver hurriedly dropped off the breakfast, only to be caught in the fork-shaped grip of security guard Uncle Wang.
Su Yuan took the delivery at the bedside and called out, "Uncle Wang, busy as ever?"
Uncle Wang nodded. He looked at Su Yuan as if he were a rough-hewn jade stone, then said kindly, "School starts today, right? You should focus on your studies while you're there. It won't hurt to come in a little later for your evening shift."
A warmth stirred in Su Yuan's heart. He was just about to respond when Uncle Wang continued, "A prodigy burst onto the takeout scene the other day. I reckon his talent isn't any less than yours. And you can't slack off on your Eighteen Divine Fork Styles, either. The takeout and security worlds are both waiting to see the two of you clash."
Su Yuan: "..."
Why did he suddenly feel so guilty?
Su Yuan, you really are a man burdened with terrible sins.
He gave a mumble of assent, hurriedly carried the breakfast to the dining table, and quickly polished it off with Chu Lanxi.
After tidying up, the two of them changed into their school uniforms and headed out at once.
At five forty, they reached the school gates.
Taihua High School started classes at six, so they'd arrived neither early nor late.
Looking at the familiar Taihua High School and the crowds of students streaming through its gates, Su Yuan suddenly felt a surge of heroic ambition!
He was no longer who he used to be!
The Pure Devil Heart, the Eighteen Divine Fork Styles, and... the World Chaos System!
The rise of a generation's Demon Lord was about to begin! Heh heh heh!
Thinking this, Su Yuan strode into the school.
The next second, a crisp "Ding-dong" suddenly rang in his mind.
[You have entered the righteous Taihua Sect!] ??? Was the system about to pull something again? [Having infiltrated the Taihua Sect under the identity of one of its disciples, you have already begun hatching an extremely evil scheme. It is called the Taihua Collapse Plan!] What the hell was the Taihua Collapse Plan? Couldn't it come up with something of its own? It wasn't like he was Orochi Yuan! [The Taihua Collapse Plan aims to sow chaos in the Taihua Sect, lure its righteous disciples into the demonic path, and secretly build up your power. In the end, you will use this sect as a stepping stone to enter a top righteous sect and achieve your goal of infiltrating the enemy's ranks!] [Main Demon Lord Mission triggered] [Mission One: Saint Fall (Incomplete)] [As a future Demon Venerable, you bear the heavy responsibility of advancing the demonic path. Lure a Taihua Sect disciple who has devoted themself to the righteous path into the demonic path. The greater your target's talent and status, the richer your reward!] [Task Progress: Target has not appeared] [Mission Reward: To be determined] [Mission Two: Secret Infiltration (In Progress)] [Born into humble circumstances, you desperately need a wealth of cultivation resources to improve yourself. Use trickery and force to seize resources that don't belong to you, and bolster both your own power and the might of the demonic path!] [Task Progress: Resources plundered (0/100)] [Mission Reward: Demonic Cultivation Technique · Finger Spirit]
Looking at the two missions that had appeared one after another on the System Panel, Su Yuan forced down the urge to complain about this damned Konoha—cough, the Taihua Collapse Plan—and carefully studied them.
After a while, his brow furrowed.
These two missions were tricky. One required luring someone into the demonic path, the other required seizing the sect's resources. It didn't seem like something he could solve by working a shift.
Sure enough, this demonic cheat system called the World Chaos System wasn't going to make every mission as harmless as the last one.
But as an ordinary person with mediocre talent, he couldn't just leave the system missions undone. He'd have to figure out how to complete them as he went.
By then, Su Yuan had reached his class, Class Two of Senior Year at Taihua High School.
He put away the System Panel and sat beside Chu Lanxi.
As he thought about the mission, Su Yuan unconsciously glanced at Chen Nuoyi, who sat at the very front. She had a bright, lovely face.
As the class's top student and one of the top three prodigies in the entire school, she was surely the Righteous Path Saintess in the system's eyes. If he could draw her into the demonic path...
He didn't even need to think about what the system might reward him with. Just imagining it gave him a bit of a thrill!
The moment that thought crossed his mind, an ominous "Ding-dong" sounded in Su Yuan's head.
[Target selected. Mission updated.] ??? Come on, man! This is slander! He was only thinking about it. He hadn't planned to make the Class Monitor his target! But what was done was done. [Mission One: Fallen Saintess (Saint Fall) (Incomplete)] [Ho ho! You've actually chosen the Taihua Sect's Saintess as your target? Such confidence—you already have the bearing of a Devil Lord. Use any means necessary to make the Righteous Path Saintess fall. Play her in the palm of your hand!] [Task Progress: Saint Fall Degree: 0%] [Mission Reward: Demonic Cultivation Technique · Finger Destiny] [Saint Fall Degree: 0% (Maximum: 20%)] [Note: The mission can be completed once the Saintess's Saint Fall Degree reaches 20%.] [Additional Note: The Demonic Cultivation Technique · Five Fingers series is an exclusive set for the main mission, "Taihua Collapse Plan." If you fail a mission, you will never be able to obtain the subsequent cultivation arts.]
Su Yuan: "..."
System, System, what a vicious heart you have. What is this, a gacha game?
And it had learned all the tricks, too—limited missions and limited sets.
Now he really had no choice but to complete the mission!
