The next day.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, revealing a messy bedroom with clothes scattered on the floor.
Luo Chen had already gotten up and was leaning against the headboard, looking at Zhao Meng'er who was fast asleep beside him, a smile appearing on his lips.
Thinking about the crazy things that happened last night, Luo Chen did not regret it. On the contrary, it made him understand many things.
After arriving in this world, even though he had feelings for the people here, he initially treated them all as NPCs. He was like a player who was there to complete tasks and get rewards.
You could call him cold-blooded, but he wouldn't admit that he truly had no feelings for them whatsoever.
After all, he is still a human being. Even an animal will develop feelings after spending a long time together, let alone him.
Last time, he was forcibly dragged here by the system that bound him to the villain, and began to experience this unfamiliar world in the book from the age of toddler.
Having never experienced a life like this before, nor the affection of family he had ever known, he had the illusion at that young age that this was the real world, and this feeling persisted into adulthood, making him feel incredibly carefree.
But when the plot began, the system transmitted the story, the cold, mechanical voice, and the forced mission brought him back to reality, making him realize that this world was still an illusion, not real, and that he had come here to complete a mission.
All he needs to do is define his own character and the direction of the plot.
We cannot allow any unnecessary emotions to alter the plot or cause it to deviate from its intended direction.
After working diligently, the filming finally came to an end, but unexpectedly, it had to be done all over again.
If you start over, everything will be different.
The plot has deviated from its original trajectory, and everyone has changed, especially him.
Thinking back to Christmas Eve yesterday, their appearance, and everyone saying "Peace and safety" to each other.
His feelings were very complicated. Why not continue following the plot? That way, even if he left this world, at least he wouldn't be too sad.
However, even at that time, it had already made him sad.
He understood what they meant by those words; they were worried about something he didn't know, perhaps they already knew he was going to die.
So I wanted to create a surprise to remind him that there are still people in this world who care about him, who can't bear to part with him, and who don't want him to die.
This gloom might have lasted for a few more days, but he didn't expect Zhao Meng'er to do such a thing, but he doesn't regret it.
On the contrary, he should thank her; it was her actions and words that made him see things clearly.
The plot and the main character are no longer important to him. Since he was chosen to be a villain, then he should act like a villain.
Only one of him and Ye Lin can survive, so please let Ye Lin die!
The grudges between them are irreconcilable; it can be said to be predestined.
Because he couldn't bear to part with it.
Looking at Zhao Meng'er's sleeping face, with strands of hair falling on her face, Luo Chen gently removed them and smiled.
He covered her with the blanket, got out of bed, got dressed, glanced at the messy room, and felt somewhat helpless. It seemed that last night had really been too crazy.
Luo Chen moved quietly, tidied himself up quickly, closed the door, and went downstairs.
Upon arriving at the lobby, Zhao Meng'er's parents were not found. It was unclear whether they had gone out early in the morning or had not returned all night. The situation remained unchanged from yesterday.
I went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door, took out some vegetables, and then washed the rice to make porridge for breakfast.
It took quite a while to finish.
They were served one by one to the dining table.
Zhao Meng'er had not yet gotten up.
Luo Chen sat on the sofa and asked the system a question.
"System, I have a question for you."
[Host, please speak.]
"I clearly don't want to follow the plot anymore, and I don't want to be a simp, so why don't you just kill me off?"
[Host, when did I ever say I wanted to eliminate you?]
"When we were going through the story last time, you forced me to do the quests. Wasn't that basically telling me that if I didn't do them, you would kill me?"
[Is this the original system the host mentioned?]
Luo Chen was stunned; he suddenly couldn't understand what they were saying.
What do you mean by that?
[I thought the host had already noticed, but it seems the host is unaware.]
"What's going on?"
[The original system, although also called the Villain System, assigned tasks that were nothing like those of a villain. The fact that you, host, were chosen and bound to the system indicates that you have the potential to be a villain.]
[But the original system forced you, host, to focus on the plot and be a sycophant. I couldn't stand it anymore. When you finished your role, I devoured it. So, what's with you now is me.]
"Holy crap, so you mean that at that time, I had actually finished filming, and it was because of you that I had to start all over again, right?"
Luo Chen wished he could drag the system out and beat it up a few times. It seemed that he had really completed his mission at that time, but he didn't expect that because of this new system, he would have to start all over again.
[Host, this isn't my fault. As I said before, the fact that you can bind to the system means you have the potential to be a villain. Since you're a villain, you should act like one. Why do you need to obediently follow the plot?]
"..."
[In this world, you, host, possess the best of everything. Resources, wealth, and connections have given you a head start. Even with the blessing of destiny, a mere chosen one is still not qualified in my eyes, especially since you are the host I selected. I believe you will not disappoint me.]
Luo Chen couldn't refute the system's words. He was born into a top-tier wealthy family, adorned in gold and silver from a young age, and served by servants.
The wealth behind them is so vast that it's impossible to know how long it will take to spend it all, not to mention other resources and connections.
But if he hadn't been set up as a sycophantic villain from the beginning, why wouldn't he have taken advantage of these things?
Who would want to slap the protagonist in the face, especially voluntarily?
Despite having the strength to fight back, he acts like a grandson, and even plays the role of an idiot, giving the protagonist experience points.
This doesn't seem like a villain at all; it's just an experience point.
However, since the character was a simp villain, I didn't think too much about it at first. I figured that as long as I completed the mission, followed the plot, and returned to my original real world with my wish, that would be enough.
Unexpectedly, this is how it happened.
The system has been changed!
He felt nothing at all.
Most importantly, since the system said that, why didn't it remind him? Instead, he continued to act like a fool and follow the plot.
[Host, it's not that I didn't warn you, but due to certain rules, I couldn't be too obvious. However, since you can get rewards for dissing others, I thought you would understand the subtleties involved. I didn't expect you to still want to continue down the original path and follow the plot, so I didn't say anything.]
