Chapter 32: How many points will it take?
Ashen’s room, Phoenix Feather Sect,
[Ding! Host, I have rewarded you correctly, however, it seems that I have failed to properly teach you.]
[Here, Let me tell you how this world works. I am sure this will clear all your doubts]
Ashen nodded before taking a seat, listening closely to the system. He was ready to understand how all of this worked.
[Ding! Host, This world is unbiased and gives everyone opportunities. If it gives someone something, it also takes something from them in return.
First, Let me tell you that this world also has a consciousness and it can make decisions. This consciousness is commonly known as the world’s will.
This world’s will sees all and knows everything in this world.
Now, everyone is born with some luck and the protagonists have a higher amount of luck than others, making them favored by the world’s will.
This mighty system quantifies their luck in luck points.
The more luck points a protagonist has, the higher his chances of succeeding in his endeavors and achieving greater heights.
The world’s will help these protagonists in exchange for their luck points.
By expending their luck points, it helps them with fortuitous encounters or escaping death situations.
So you have to understand that the world wouldn’t help a protagonist who had already expended his luck.
You can only kill a protagonist who had already exhausted his luck to zero, otherwise, the world will help them escape your attack.
However, you can always attack them to expend their luck to zero]
Ashen nodded, gaining a better understanding of the protagonists before continuing to listen ahead.
[Host, Now as for your role.
As I have already informed you, there are innumerable protagonists in this world, however, not enough villains.
Without a Villain, a protagonist cannot shine or have the motivation to get stronger.
Therefore, This world summoned you to fulfill that role and gave me as your companion.
You can think of me as a merchant who can sell stuff to you in exchange for the Villain points.
You receive Villain points if you affect the protagonist’s luck points with your villainous actions or create problems for the protagonist.
Luck points and Villain points aren’t the same.
They differ in value, the villain points you receive depend on the severity of the villainous action you have taken.
If your act will create difficulties for the Protagonist in the future or hinder him, then you receive villain points.
You can also receive small amounts of villain points by stirring the protagonist’s emotions, however, that will only be small.
At the end, you have to commit true villainous acts against a protagonist to obtain a large amount of Villain points.]
Ashen, after having listened carefully, opened his mouth as he asked with a puzzled expression:
“I understand, but how does a heroine fit in all this?”
[Ding! Host, A heroine isn’t just someone who is a love interest of the Protagonist.
She is a chosen individual with beauty and luck.
Every heroine has a high amount of luck, though it can’t be compared to a protagonist.
If a heroine is supporting a protagonist or is in love with him, it boosts the luck of the protagonist, therefore, you will see that a protagonist will encounter various heroines and will pursue them.
It is just the world helping him to acquire more luck.
You also acquire villain points if you snatch a heroine from the protagonist as you have harmed his future and present luck points.
Therefore, go and snatch the heroines if you can as it is also a villainous act.]
Ashen listened to the system’s information carefully, understanding the whole situation.
However, soon another question flashed in his mind as he asked the system:
“What happens if I make a heroine fall in love with me? And what about Xiran, She was a heroine, however, now she is not.
Will making her fall in love with me count?”
[Ding! Host, if a heroine fell in love with you, It will boost your luck same as a protagonist, however, you receive Villain points in exchange of luck.
Now, the amount of Villain points you will receive will depend on the heroine’s luck.
Also, as her strength rises, it will make her luck rise too.
You will receive villain points every two months according to the heroines who are in love with you.]
Ashen’s eyes widened in surprise as he heard this.
Didn’t this mean that if he had enough heroines, he could become stronger just by sitting and doing nothing?
He will just increase his strength with the villain points he’ll receive from his heroines’ luck.
He soon found the curiosity of knowing the heroines’ luck rising in him.
Without waiting, he just asked the system to show him.
“System, show me the luck of all the heroines”
[Ding! Host, the heroines that the system has marked has the following luck
Bi Veli : 15000 Luck Points
Bi Shiyue : 40000 Luck Points
Xia Wuyao : 55000 Luck Points
Huan Lingxi : 10000 Luck Points
Ashen looked at the luck points of the heroines he had encountered.
However, he found something odd in the luck points which didn’t made sense to him.
Wanting to know the reason, he asked: “System, Why is Xia Wuyao’s luck so high?
I can understand Shiyue since she is a nascent soul realm cultivator and also belongs to a wealthy and powerful family.
According to what I have heard, Xia Wuyao isn’t from any prominent family and only has a high cultivation, however, it is the same for Huan Lingxi, So why is her luck so high?”
[Ding! Host, You will get to know the reason in the future. If you want to know the reason right now, then it will take Villain Points]
“No, Just leave it” Ashen instructed before looking at his remaining Villain points.
He didn’t know how much the system will demand from him and what if the reason was something ridiculous?
He didn’t want to take the risk.
Next, he commanded the system to display Han Yujin’s luck:
[Ding! Host, The Protagonist Han Yujin has 40000 Luck Points right now]
“What?” Ashen asked in surprise. “Didn’t he had 120000 luck points previously?”
[Ding! Indeed Host, It appears that he had a fortuitous encounter thanks to these reduced amount of luck points. The world’s will must have expended them to help him]
“Oh? Sure enough he seemed suspicious when he went into closed cultivation after taking a huge amount of gold with him. It seems that gold can help him in cultivation” Ashen deduced with a serious expression.
However, soon he focused on the future: “Let’s leave him for the future. I’ll see him after he comes out of his closed cultivation.”
“Status window” He called out.

Looking at his status window, Ashen sighed: “Sigh, No matter how many villain points I acquire. It always seems less. I need to earn more”
Muttering that, A thought that Ashen had pondered over for a long time resurfaced again.
This time, however, he decided to ask the system if his idea was possible.
“System, I was wondering if you could tell me the location of a protagonist nearby? Even a hint will work.”
Earning Villain points was only possible by having a protagonist, however, Yujin was in closed cultivation right now.
Ashen wanted another protagonist to target. He didn’t want to waste his time waiting for Yujin to come out of his closed cultivation.
It wasn’t like he could cultivate on his own without the system.
[Ding! Host, Let me tell you that to help you with that, I will need to ask the World’s will about the Protagonist’s location and the world’s will doesn’t help anyone for free. It will take Villain points to do this. Are you sure?]
Hearing this, Ashen couldn’t help but widen his eyes in surprise. He didn’t think that the system was capable of telling him the location of a protagonist.
Without wasting any time, He inquired about the price: “How many points will it take?”
[Ding! Host, all of your points]
“What??” Ashen asked in shock.
It was too expensive for just a small information, however, thinking that he could always earn more from this new protagonist, he agreed: “Alright, do it! Let’s see where this protagonist is hiding”
[Ding! Host, wait a minute, let me ask]
After a few moments, the system returned with a message:
[Ding! Host, The world’s will said it will not disclose the exact location of the protagonist for this small amount of points, however, it had given a hint]
“Oh, what hint?” Ashen asked with a curious expression.
[Ding! Host, The world’s will said that you’ll have to go to Mo Chen and ask him to take you to his family’s upcoming event]
“Oh, Will I meet the protagonist at his family’s event? Looks like I’ll have to Visit Mo Chen tomorrow” Ashen muttered with a scheming smile.
