The Bootlicking Antagonist Only Wants to Survive, but the Female Lead Refuses to Follow the Usual Plot

Chapter 109 How can you help?

*System:* [Congratulations, host, you have successfully subdued the Copper King. Please select the reward you wish to receive.]

Lu Chengwen sat on the resting sofa in his large bathroom, holding a glass of wine, with a smug look on his face.

"Tell me about it."

"Oh! You seem to be in good spirits these days, host. You don't complain anymore!"

Lu Chengwen laughed, "I have to say, I'm a bit proud of myself. Dragon Overlord, what the hell kind of overpowered protagonist is that? He's always losing to me! I've figured it out, this author's brain is pretty simple, and the characters he creates are even dumber."

"He relies on having an 'omnipotent God' helping him build the plot in the author's pen, so he can conquer everything and be invincible."

"If he were to rely on himself alone, in a truly rule-less, freely developing world, this kind of guy would die a hundred times even if there were a hundred of him. If it wasn't me, someone else would have killed him."

System: "Host, don't underestimate him! He is the son of destiny!"

"Cut the crap, what's my reward?"

"Reward Number 1, Great Sage Subduing Tiger Fist upgraded to level 1."

"Reward Number 2, Host's strength level upgraded to level 1."

"Reward Number 3, Great Sun Tathagata Palm, one-time experience ticket."

"Reward Number 4, Immovable King's Divine Art, one-time experience ticket."

"Also, host, you have successfully won over the female protagonist Jiang Shihan, rewarding you with a chance to enhance your physical abilities and a martial arts entry invitation!"

Lu Chengwen was surprised, "There are benefits to winning over the female protagonist?"

System: "Of course! We won't let you work for nothing! If you win over the main female character, the prize will be even greater! Hee hee, would you like to try it? I think Leng Qingqiu is already ripe for the picking, if you want, it should be possible!"

Lu Chengwen narrowed his eyes, "There's no catch, right?"

System: "Host, please rest assured, this system has been successfully running for a month now. We always uphold the business philosophy of high quality, low price, fair dealing, integrity in business, and reputation as our core. We follow up and maintain our after-sales service with a customer-oriented, responsible-to-the-end spirit. So far, we have not received any customer complaints or returns."

Lu Chengwen was stunned, "Wow, just a month and you're boasting? Besides, do you have many customers?"

"Hmm, only you."

Lu Chengwen widened his eyes, "Only me? What's there to boast about if you haven't received any complaints? Besides, would you even handle my complaint?"

"We will."

"Okay, I'm filing a complaint. You guys are playing me, how do you explain me getting killed several times without knowing what's going on?"

"Okay, we have received your complaint. Based on your complaint content, we will reduce our actual support for you and stop providing any subsequent..."

"Hey, hey, hey..." Lu Chengwen quickly said with a smile, "Just kidding! You're so nice, no airs at all, always thinking of me. How could I complain about you? Let's continue, continue, okay?"

He thought to himself: Damn, no wonder no one complains! It turns out I'm the only customer. If I complain, you'll kill me! If you guys do this, of course, there will be no business disputes!

System: "Please choose your prize, host."

Lu Chengwen hesitated for a moment.

He first chose the level upgrade.

This was a no-brainer. No matter what, improving your strength was always a practical issue that couldn't be avoided.

To survive in this world to the end, he would inevitably have to constantly clash with the main protagonist Dragon Overlord.

He could constantly go back to town, revive, buy equipment, and continue online...

But he would be game over if he died once!

Therefore, continuously improving his strength was something he had to constantly persist in and do long-term, and he had to be clear about this.

As for the second choice, it had to be a life-saving skill.

Lu Chengwen again chose the Immovable King's Divine Art experience ticket.

Upgrading himself was important, but in the current stage, staying alive was a higher priority, it could be said to be the priority.

If he died, all his equipment and experience would be wiped out, completely meaningless.

Therefore, life-saving skills were, the more the better, and ideally he could use his wit to stock up on these divine artifacts.

It was a tough decision!

The good stuff was really good, but there was only one use, and then it was gone.

Leveling up was almost useless. Whether he was at the Tempering Body or Casting Soul stage, it was almost the same in the eyes of those experts from the Middle Four Sects.

It was like an adult hitting a child. Whether the child was in third grade or fourth grade, there was no difference!

After all, you're just a child.

But this was an investment that would yield long-term benefits. If he kept doing it, one day, he would become as strong as them, and maybe even surpass them.

And now the Silver King was about to make his appearance. Who knows what level of masters would appear in the future to fight him?

Lu Chengwen made his choice and was satisfied.

He felt that his choices were fine and made sense.

"What does enhancing physical abilities mean?"

"Oh, that's random."

"Random?"

Lu Chengwen became wary, "Random... what does that mean?"

"Uh... it means random."

"Is there a catch?"

"Hmm... no."

"Really no catch?"

The system smiled, "Even if there was, what could you do to me?"

Lu Chengwen chuckled bitterly, "You're right. Then what does the martial arts entry invitation mean?"

"Oh, you can give it to someone you want to cultivate, a small account, or a battle pet, to increase their strength. You can think of it as a battle, supply, and aura-providing pet summoned in online games."

"I understand!" Lu Chengwen said, "It's like in Diablo when you reach a certain level, you can buy a mercenary, give him equipment, and have him fight alongside you."

"That's roughly the idea. But you need to choose who to give this to, and it's up to you to take the risk of whether or not this person will betray you later, or whether they can show the value of this card."

Lu Chengwen understood.

The item itself was good, but there were risks.

The person he decided to promote had to be loyal to him, never to betray him.

"Okay, I understand."

...

Ding-dong!

Lu Chengwen's body underwent an upgrade.

He could feel that his breathing was deeper and more powerful than before; his limbs were light and agile, and his mind was clearer.

It felt great, and super comfortable able.

Lu Chengwen soaked in the bathtub, satisfied.

The Lower Four Sects were divided into: Tempering Body, Casting Soul, Asura, and Battle Soul, four levels.

Ordinary people, the vast majority of ordinary people, even if they trained for a lifetime, without talent, without guidance from a master, without a chance encounter, wouldn't even reach the Tempering Body stage.

But he was already at the Casting Soul stage.

In the realm of martial arts, each level increase required immense effort and hardship, and often also required some chance encounters and good fortune.

Each level, for ancient martial artists, can be the limit and end of their lives.

The difficulty index of each level's improvement and crossing is doubled.

If you quantify this with numbers, you can understand it as:

An ordinary person becoming a tempered body needs to pay ten effort while going from a tempered body to a soul-casting, needs at least twenty;

From soul-casting to Asura, it needs at least forty... and so on.

The crossing of ranks is even more difficult and even accompanied by danger.

Many people want to cross from the lower four gates to the middle four gates, some go into madness, some are paralyzed, and some even die directly.

However, these difficulties and risks are not a problem for me at all.

My advantage is that I have broken out of this system and can obtain this huge ability improvement through "cheating".

Although soul-casting is nothing in the eyes of those masters, it is a standout in the ordinary crowd.

My body has been strengthened, my level has been upgraded, and I have also got an additional Fudo Myooh Kung experience ticket.

Only this ancient martial arts invitation letter... who should I give it to?

Forget it, let's not think about it for now.

Lu Chengwen soaked in the bathtub proudly picked up the wine glass next to him, and took a sip: "Refreshing!"

At this moment, the bathroom door was pushed open and Jiang Shihan walked in.

Lu Chengwen turned his head and saw Jiang Shihan.

"Shihan? What are you doing here? I'm taking a bath!"

Jiang Shihan blushed: "I came to see if Mr. Lu needs anything."

Lu Chengwen looked at Jiang Shihan: "I'm taking a bath! What do I need you for while taking a bath?"

"Just... in case you need a back rub... I can..."

Lu Chengwen said: "This bathtub was bought for over four million yuan, it has a massage and back-washing function, I don't need your help, go out, this is so embarrassing."

"Oh."

Jiang Shihan left disappointedly.

Lu Chengwen breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his arm: "This is funny! She came in while I was taking a bath and asked if I needed anything, what could I need? I'm in the bathtub, naked, and she, a woman, walked in, what could I need her for?"

Speaking of which, Lu Chengwen's movements suddenly stopped.

"Oh my god! Am I a pig? Did I miss a few hundred million business opportunities?"

...

The car stopped at the entrance of the Continental Hotel.

Yin Tuowang's assistant Yuanfang got out of the car and stylishly threw the key to the parking attendant.

The waiter quickly opened the car door, Yin Tuowang, wearing a striped suit and gold-rimmed glasses, got out of the car with a smile on his face.

It has to be said that Yin Tuowang is indeed different.

He earns a lot, and he has a lot of freedom.

He is not at the same level as Tie Tuowang and Tong Tuowang.

They earn a million a year, each watch costs tens of thousands, each suit costs thousands, their car is assigned by the branch, and they must stay in high-end hotels when they go out.

A million annual salary, plus bonuses, is enough to make him a social elite.

Every time he stepped into the metropolis, he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and excitement.

Thinking of the hard times that his brothers in the branch were living, the dark and hopeless survival environment, and the slim chance of promotion...

Compared to them, he was their god!

Wearing a suit and tie, driving a luxury car, and sleeping in a hotel...

Those who don't know would think he was a high-ranking executive of a big company. Young and promising, charming.

The waiter carried his luggage, and his assistant Yuanfang followed behind him.

Yin Tuowang strode into the hotel, holding his head high.

In the elevator, Yuanfang was still confused: "Brother, did Tong Tuowang rebel?"

Yin Tuowang had a slight curve on his lips: "Yeah. This idiot, he had a chance for promotion, but after waiting until today he rebelled, he's even dumber than a pig."

Yuanfang frowned: "He's been loyal all this time, how come he rebelled just a few days after coming here?"

Yin Tuowang turned gracefully, and looked at his confused young assistant: "He had to rebel."

"He had to rebel?"

"Yeah." Yin Tuowang turned back and looked at the elevator door: "He recognized the wrong master, and he also lost fifty billion,

Do you think he has any other way to go if he doesn't rebel?"

Yuanfang nodded: "But it's suspicious that Tong Tuowang and Tie Tuowang made the same mistake one after another."

"Yeah." Yin Tuowang nodded and sighed: "This task was not difficult, it just had a strange vibe."

"Brother, it's said that these fifty billion were earned by our leader selling his butt, our branch is out of money."

"Nonsense!" Yin Tuowang immediately corrected: "What butt can sell for fifty billion? Only a small part of it was earned by selling the butt. Our leader is farsighted, and he is always strategizing. If he hadn't been tricked by those two idiots this time, he wouldn't have had to sell his butt to save money."

"Poor leader, he must be having a hard time recently."

"So, we need to solve these things as soon as possible. Deliver the money to the young master, kill those two traitors, and let the leader's butt rest for a while."

Yuanfang nodded: "Brother, then we'll go back to the branch, will the leader give us any rewards?"

Yin Tuowang smiled again: "You silly boy."

"Ah?"

Yin Tuowang turned around and looked at Yuanfang: "I'll tell you, although our leader is capable, he's just like a county magistrate, while the young master is like the son of the vice president. Tell me, is it more promising to follow the county magistrate or the son of the vice president?"

Yuanfang's eyes lit up: "Of course, it's more promising to follow the son of the vice president! If the county magistrate himself runs out of money, he will force us to sell our butts with him."

"Don't always mention selling your butt!" Yin Tuowang said impatiently: "Anyway if we do well this time, we can take the opportunity to stay and work for the young master."

"Are we going to leave the branch?"

Yin Tuowang smiled: "It's not leaving, it's a promotion, a huge promotion, a once-in-a-lifetime promotion."

"Brother, I get it!" Yuanfang's eyes shone like stars.

...

Lu Chengwen was in the bathtub, holding the beauty in his arms, both of them were soaked in water, and there was a layer of foam on the surface of the water.

Jiang Shihan's breasts were half submerged, her face was flushed, and she looked shy.

Lu Chengwen held the wine glass to her lips: "My concubine, have a drink with your emperor."

Jiang Shihan was so shy: "Your Majesty, this servant cannot drink."

"Huh? Dare you to disobey your emperor!?" Lu Chengwen pretended to be angry: "If you don't drink, I'll spank you!"

Jiang Shihan looked at Lu Chengwen timidly: "If I drink, can I also be spanked?"

"Oh, my concubine likes this kind of thing, hahaha!"

At this time, Leng Qingqiu's voice came from outside: "Chengwen, Chengwen! Where are you?"

Lu Chengwen's face immediately turned pale: "Oh no, here comes my nemesis!"

Jiang Shihan was also scared: "Your Majesty, what should we do?"

"Dress me!"
