Chapter 19: Master-Level Singing Spring Fist
After ending the chat with Wen Jing, Wang Haoran communicated with the system.
He had already reached 1100 Villain Points, which was an all-time high.
To obtain an item in the System Shop, he required a minimum of 1,000 Villain Points.
In deep anticipation, Wang Haoran asked the system to display the items he could purchase in the shop.
An interface was displayed, with items’ descriptions and prices, similar to a shopping website like Taobao.
However, unlike Taobao, the items in this shop could only be purchased using Villain Points.
The items he could purchase with 1100 Villain Points were limited. Only a few items were displayed.
[Master-Level Painting and Calligraphy Mimicry Skill – 1000 Villain Points]
[Master-Level Culinary Skills – 1000 Villain Points]
[Movie-Level Acting Skills – 1000 Villain Points]
[Master-Level True Combat Style: Singing Spring Fist – 1000 Villain Points]
[Master-Level Martial Technique: Five Consecutive Lightning Whips – 1000 Villain Points]
[Lower-grade Youth Preserving Pellet – 1100 villain points (Note: after taking it, the effect will last for 30 years.)]
…
After Wang Haoran took a look at all the items, he was stumped.
A certified Villain would inevitably encounter situations where he would need to lie to others. In that case, if he had the Movie-Level Acting skill, wouldn’t he be able to deceive them?
This skill was a standard feature for Super-Villains.
Wang Haoran’s biggest drawback now was that his Strength value was below average. Master-Level True Combat Style: Singing Spring Fist would increase his Strength value significantly.
Although, the Lower-grade Youth Preserving Pellet would let him maintain his youth for 30 years, which was quite appealing.
Imagine appearing to be 18 years old while your peers are 48 years old with plump bodies and greasy faces.
If he went walking down the street with an 18-year-old girl, he wouldn’t feel the slightest bit awkward.
It was great to think about.
He wanted to buy all three, but he could only purchase one with the number of Villain Points he had now.
Wang Haoran pondered over it for a few seconds, then finally chose the Master-Level True Combat Style: Singing Spring Fist.
In terms of appearance, education, and wealth, he completely surpassed Chu Bai. The only thing Chu Bai had over him was Strength.
Therefore, the first thing he had to do was increase his Strength value.
After choosing to learn ‘Master-Level True Combat Style: Singing Spring Fist’, Wang Haoran immediately felt a boost in his vitality.
Clenching his fists, he sent out several Singing Spring Fists at random. He felt like he possessed an inexhaustible reserve of stamina.
If it wasn’t midnight, he feared that people would consider him a psychopath.
He wanted to scream: “I can beat ten men!”
He then checked his attribute panel.
[Host: Wang Haoran]
[Strength: 289]
[Charm: 268]
[Villain Halo: 209]
[Villain Points: 100]
[Skills: Master-Level Painting and Calligraphy Mimicry, Master-Level True Combat Style: Singing Spring Fist]
His attributes were finally not lacking. He was now genuinely ‘Mr. Perfect.’
His Strength value had increased from 89 to 289, undoubtedly due to the Master-Level Combat Style: Singing Spring Fist.
Chu Bai’s Strength value, on the other hand, was only 155.
In terms of Strength alone, Wang Haoran had already surpassed him.
*****
The next day.
In the afternoon free time, the students were busy preparing for their college entrance exams.
Chu Bai found some random questions and planned to ask Xu Muyan for help.
Since it was impossible for Wen Jing to exchange her seat with him, Chu Bai could only rely on himself, so he moved his seat over and placed it next to Xu Muyan’s desk.
As Xu Muyan didn’t have any feelings for Chu Bai, she was annoyed by his behavior.
Now that the college entrance exams were nearing, whose time wasn’t precious?
She only answered him out of goodwill, but it wasn’t her responsibility.
Moreover, the questions Chu Bai was asking her about weren’t complicated at all. Did he even need to ask her?
Even if she wasn’t willing to answer him, because of her kindness and friendship as classmates, she still intended to answer him, albeit reluctantly.
Chu Bai wasn’t aware of Xu Muyan’s mood.
Even if he knew, he would still ask her the questions.
He wholeheartedly believed that if he intended to pursue girls, he had to be brazen and chase his own desires.
If he considered the girls’ intentions, would it be possible for him to seize them?
It was just that.
Before Xu Muyan could open her mouth to speak to Chu Bai about his doubts, Wang Haoran came over.
He swiftly exchanged seats with Wen Jing and became Xu Muyan’s temporary deskmate. He, too, held the test papers in his hands and seemed to have come over to discuss and study with Xu Muyan.
Chu Bai was immediately annoyed and cursed under his breath.
It was evident that Wang Haoran was deliberately making life difficult for him whenever he tried to chase girls!
Don’t run into me at night; otherwise, I’ll beat you so bad your entire family won’t be able to recognize you!
Deep hatred was borne inside Chu Bai’s heart; however, he didn’t rage but said with a blank expression.
“Please. I was here first.”
“Oh, is that so? I just have one question to ask Xu Muyan. After that, I’ll let you ask her.” Wang Haoran said.
“I too, have a single question to ask her.” Chu Bai replied.
“Which one?”
“This one.” Chu Bai randomly pointed at a question in the test paper.
“It’s not hard. Let me help you.”
Taking the test paper, Wang Haoran patiently explained the topic. Chu Bai felt bitter and definitely ignored the explanation.
About three minutes later.
“Did you get it?” Wang Haoran asked Chu Bai after he finished explaining the topic.
“I…”
“You didn’t get it, right? This topic isn’t complicated at all, and I even explained it in detail. Well… it doesn’t matter. If you didn’t get it, I’ll explain it to you again.” Wang Haoran was quite patient.
However, Chu Bai had neither the patience nor the face.
Wang Haoran had just said that this topic was quite simple, but he didn’t understand it, much to one’s surprise.
In case he wanted Wang Haoran to explain it once again, wouldn’t he seem dumb?
Moreover, Xu Muyan was watching him from the side.
Chu Bai certainly wouldn’t want to lose face.
“Wang Haoran, I am grateful for your aid!” Chu Bai said, gnashing his teeth.
“Don’t mention it.” Wang Haoran’s smile resembled a gentle spring breeze.
Chu Bai was pissed off, but he had no choice but to reluctantly move his seat back to its original position.
Simultaneously, Wang Haoran also received a message from the system.
[Ding! The Host successfully prevented the Protagonist Chu Bai from coming into contact with Xu Muyan, one of the heroines, affecting the original plot’s direction. Received 100 Villain Points.]
