"Ugh... My head hurts!"
Wang Hao rubbed his head. He had no idea how many bottles of beer people had forced down his throat last night.
"Hmm... No, where is this!?"
When Wang Hao opened his bleary eyes, he saw not his familiar room, but a laboratory filled with test tubes, flasks, alcohol lamps, measuring cups, and other chemical equipment.
"Am I dreaming!?"
Wang Hao looked utterly confused. He had gone drinking with a few coworkers last night, but they would not have dumped him in some laboratory, would they?
Could it be that those guys were jealous because he was more handsome and more capable at work, so they had held a grudge and planned to dissect him!?
"This is..."
When Wang Hao saw his own hands, he was completely stunned. Not only were they smaller, but they were also so pale they looked almost like a woman's hands.
"Ugh..."
Suddenly, a flood of unfamiliar memories surged into his mind, making Wang Hao break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
As the two sets of memories intertwined, Wang Hao was completely dumbfounded.
He had transmigrated!?
He had really transmigrated!
And this world was vastly different from his original one. Although it also had high-tech products, they were incredibly advanced. Interstellar travel was practically no different from taking a train.
Most unbelievably, there was even a complete cultivation system here. Things like shattering stars with a fist and treading across the heavens with one's feet could truly be achieved.
However, because of the cultivation system, this world revered the strong. Nobles ruled, while commoners could only submit unconditionally.
"Ding-dong. The Great Villain System has successfully activated. The beginner's Big Gift Package is now being issued." A mechanical voice sounded in Wang Hao's mind.
"A system? A beginner's Big Gift Package!?"
Wang Hao froze for a moment before delight replaced his confusion. It was actually a system—the ultimate cheat for transmigrators.
He truly was a man favored—no, cherished—by the heavens. At the same time, he was a man destined to stand at the pinnacle of the universe.
"No, what was this system called? The Great Villain System!?" After Wang Hao came back to his senses, he had a very bad feeling.
"Who cares what it's called? Let's check the beginner's gift first." Wang Hao shook his head and called out to the system in his mind, opening the beginner's Big Gift Package.
"Ding-dong. Congratulations, Host. You have received one Skill Upgrade Card (Peak of Perfection)."
"Ding-dong. Congratulations, Host. You have received one Level One Potential Pill."
"Ding-dong. Congratulations, Host. You have received the Wu Yao Heavenly Demon Art."
"Ding-dong. Congratulations, Host. You have received one Revival Gold Coin."
Listening to those wonderful sounds, Wang Hao grinned from ear to ear. This beginner's Big Gift Package was truly generous!
After opening the beginner equipment details, Wang Hao sharply inhaled. This was simply too luxurious, too outrageous.
Skill Upgrade Card (Peak of Perfection): After use, it can instantly elevate one martial skill possessed by the Host to Peak of Perfection.
Level One Potential Pill: After consuming it, it can draw out the body's initial potential, allowing cultivation to break through rapidly. It has no side effects, so there is no need to worry about an unstable foundation.
Wu Yao Heavenly Demon Art: A divine technique created jointly by eighteen gods and demons, possessing incomparably wondrous effects.
Revival Gold Coin: Automatically activates after death, restoring the user to full health. Comes with a Celestial God Possession bonus: gods that stand in the way will be slain, Buddhas that stand in the way will be slain. Duration: ten days.
After reading it all, Wang Hao genuinely did not know what to say. Just looking at the first Skill Upgrade Card made him feel as if he were going crazy.
Martial skills were the means by which martial artists attacked. They were divided into four levels: Initial Insight, Thorough Comprehension, Peak of Perfection, and Perfect Integration.
Reaching Initial Insight was very easy. One only needed to imitate the form, and after enough practice, it could be achieved.
But reaching Thorough Comprehension was impossible without putting in serious effort.
As for reaching Peak of Perfection, not only did it require relentless day-and-night training, it also required extraordinary talent. Yet now, with a light tap on this upgrade card, he could reach Peak of Perfection instantly. It was simply too easy.
Perfect Integration, meanwhile, was a level only grandmasters of a generation could attain. Without decades of refinement, bitter cultivation, and practice, one should not even dream of mastering it.
Of the four beginner items, the one that excited Wang Hao the most was the Revival Gold Coin. Not only could it revive him after death, it could also grant him Celestial God Possession and let him slaughter in every direction. More terrifyingly, it lasted for ten whole days.
It made Wang Hao want to rush outside right then and arrogantly shout, "Who the hell wants to cut me down!?"
"Calm down, calm down..."
Wang Hao steadied his wildly pounding heart. This was not the time to get excited. He needed to find out exactly what this Great Villain System was.
"Host, what is your understanding of villains?" the system asked.
Wang Hao thought for a moment, then murmured, "To put it bluntly, there is not much difference between heroes and villains. Everything they do is for the sake of surviving better. The only difference is that the ideals of heroes are recognized by the world, while the ideals of villains can only be recognized by a small minority."
"As expected of the Host this system found among countless star systems. You have hit the nail on the head." The system sounded pleased. "The Great Villain System exists to train the Host into someone who is a beast in human clothing whom people want to beat, a fierce and vicious fiend whom people fear, a charming rake whom people curse, a wily old fox whom people hate, a hypocrite whom people believe... a character misunderstood by the world and reviled by all."
For the next few minutes, the entire laboratory was utterly silent...
"Fuck your grandfather! Are you kidding me? I was the recipient of kindergarten red flower awards, the good child in every parent's eyes, the child everyone compared their own children to, the class officer praised by teachers, and a 24K boyfriend cherished by beautiful women... Besides, I have always made a living with my face. If I worked a little harder, I could leave my name in history, yet you want me to stink for ten thousand years? Don't you think I have any pride!?"
The system was speechless. Did it not know exactly what kind of person he was? If Wang Hao were really as wonderful as he claimed, the system would never have chosen him!
"Uh, well... I suppose it is worth considering..."
Wang Hao suddenly changed his tone. Looking at the exchange interface that had appeared before him, he could not help swallowing.
Barbaric Bible, God-tier. Upon reaching great mastery, one punch can destroy an entire galaxy. Price: 100... Villain Points.
Celestial God Mecha, God-tier. Once equipped, one blast can destroy an entire nebula system. Price: 100... Villain Points.
Starry Sky Chains, God-tier. Once mastered, you can bind anyone in the entire universe. Price: 100... Villain Points.
Yin Yang Boundary Brush, God-tier. Once mastered, write down an opponent's name and the dead can be revived while the living can die. Price: 100... Villain Points.
Seeing the prices above, Wang Hao looked bewildered. Although he did not know what that endless string of zeros meant, or what Villain Points were...
He believed that as long as his will was firm enough and he could make people throw rotten eggs at him the moment he stepped outside, these treasures would eventually be his.
"Sigh. Since the world refuses to understand me, I can only save it alone." A sacred gleam flashed in Wang Hao's eyes as a saying rose in his mind: When Heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to a man, it must first burden his heart and will, tire his muscles and bones, and starve his flesh and skin...
The system was very pleased. As expected of the Host it had carefully selected—he had so quickly draped himself in the mantle of Justice. His skin was indeed thick beyond compare...
