“Ye Lin, please don't be sad anymore, okay? So what if your ability disappeared? I'll take care of you from now on. I'll give you a million pocket money every month.”
“And didn't that trash Ye Tian awaken a SSS-class lightning ability? If you want it, I'll have our family's experts take action in a bit and transplant his ability to you.”
A gentle yet slightly yandere voice sounded in his ears, startling Ye Lin into quickly opening his eyes.
But as soon as he opened his eyes, he suffered a critical hit to his senses. He was currently lying in the lap of a youthful and exceedingly beautiful young woman.
“Is this real? Is this the kind of imperial-level treatment a single guy like me, who earns twenty-eight hundred a month and just gets by, is allowed to enjoy?”
A sweet, intoxicating fragrance drifted over with the gentle breeze, leaving Ye Lin completely dazed.
Boom!
Right at that moment, waves of unfamiliar yet familiar memories suddenly rushed into his brain like a tide.
“Ye Lin, you're finally awake! You fainted from anger just now. You really scared me to death, sob...”
Just as Ye Lin was being forcibly flooded with countless memories, the school beauty saw him wake up. Without another word, she tightly hugged him to her chest, refusing to let go.
At this moment, Ye Lin had no time to enjoy the softness of the school beauty's embrace. As the memories integrated into his mind, his face gradually turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He had transmigrated into a book!
He had entered a cliché high-martial web novel as a pseudo-green-tea villain whose destiny was modified and life was usurped by the original protagonist, Ye Tian, leading to a miserable death.
The reason he was called a “pseudo-green-tea villain” was that the original protagonist, Ye Tian, possessed an incredibly overpowered cheat. Not only could it amplify or reduce the abilities of anything by a hundredfold, but it could also modify his own background and other people's personalities.
According to the original storyline, Ye Lin was the number one genius of Yun City, possessing both excellent character and academics, and was the sole heir to the Ye family, the top family in Yun City.
In this era of invading beasts and reviving high martial arts, Ye Lin's talent and identity made him the crown prince of Yun City. He should have lived a legendary life.
Who would have thought that the otherwise ordinary Ye Tian would hit the jackpot and pick up an extraterrestrial object—a golden finger cheat.
Ye Tian's cheat required him to plunder the luck of those with great destiny before it could be used again. Thus, to grow stronger as quickly as possible, he unhesitatingly targeted Ye Lin, the number one genius.
Using the cheat's first free opportunity, he reduced Ye Lin's Martial Saint talent by a hundredfold, turning Ye Lin into a laughingstock.
Then, he modified Ye Lin's calm and composed personality into a jealous, hot-tempered, and highly manipulative “green tea” persona. He even modified his own background to make himself Ye Lin's long-lost elder brother.
This way, he could act like a vampire, staying by Ye Lin's side every day to absorb his luck. Once the luck was completely drained, Ye Tian would soar to the heavens, while Ye Lin would kick the bucket.
It was precisely because he couldn't stand this trash protagonist with zero morals that Ye Lin had written a thousand-word negative review under that high-martial novel.
Who would have thought he would now transmigrate into this very unlucky bastard?
“I'm literally crying right now!”
At the thought of his luck already being heavily drained by Ye Tian and his talent practically ruined, Ye Lin's mental state instantly collapsed.
Even if he spoke out about everything he knew right now, no one would believe him. Ye Tian's cheat was simply too overpowered; anything modified by it essentially became the absolute truth.
But to be a stepping stone in such a humiliating way made Ye Lin feel like he was letting the other guy off too easily.
“Since there's no way out of this dead end, then nobody gets to play. I'll just drag Ye Tian down to hell with me.”
Certain that his path of survival was cut off, Ye Lin laughed out of sheer anger.
Unless he had an ability or cheat even more overpowered than Ye Tian's, he had absolutely no way to break this deadlock.
【Ding! In the year 2136, the gods will descend upon the Blue Planet, and the human race of the Blue Planet will face extinction. Feeling this, the Myriad Daos have specially created the cultivation game 《Mortal Fate, Immortal Path》, hoping that the human race of the Blue Planet can find a way to save themselves within it.】
Just as Ye Lin's mind was in shambles, a cold, emotionless system prompt suddenly echoed in his head.
Hearing this, Ye Lin was first stunned, then filled with doubts.
If he remembered correctly, the current timeline of the story was the year 2126, which was a full ten years before the game's launch mentioned in his head.
“The mysterious game has launched ten years early. Could this be my chance to change my destiny against heaven?”
As a hardcore reader with over a decade of novel-reading experience, and given that even transmigration had happened to him, Ye Lin felt it was perfectly reasonable for him to have a special cheat.
Otherwise, with protagonist Ye Tian's terrifying talent, hundredfold amplification cheat, and the massive amount of plundered luck protecting him, how the hell was he supposed to play? They might as well just sentence him to death right now.
“Did you hear any sound just now?” To verify, he immediately sat up and asked the school beauty, Chu Qinghuang.
“Of course I did. My heart is filled with the sound of beating for you.”
Seeing her male god Ye Lin actually take the initiative to speak to her, the ever-simp Chu Qinghuang immediately made a heart shape with both hands and spoke happily.
Compared to the dazzling Ye Lin of the past, he was currently trash to the extreme. Yet, Chu Qinghuang still loved him this much, showing just how deep her obsession with Ye Lin was.
Ye Lin: “...”
Seeing Chu Qinghuang like this, he was almost certain of his guess. The mysterious game from ten years in the future had indeed launched early for him.
“I have my own plans regarding my talent. Don't act on your own.”
“Also, remember to help me ask for a few days off. I'm leaving first.”
The game was a matter of life and death in the future, so Ye Lin was in no mood to linger with the school beauty. After giving a few brief instructions, he left directly.
“Young Master!”
Just as he walked out of the school gates, a broad-shouldered, powerful-looking man wearing a custom black combat suit respectfully bowed to him.
This was Zhou Biao, the bodyguard and driver arranged for him by his parents, who was also a Martial King-level powerhouse.
On the Blue Planet, martial artist ranks from lowest to highest were divided into Martial Apprentice, Martial Artist, Martial Master, Grand Martial Master, Martial Spirit, Martial King, Martial Emperor, Martial Grandmaster, Martial Venerable, Martial Saint, Martial Sovereign, and Martial God.
Although the Ye family was the leader of the three major families in Yun City, Yun City was merely a small place in the Dragon Nation. A Martial King powerhouse was enough to be treated as an honored guest by countless people here.
Yet such a powerhouse could only serve as Ye Lin's driver at this moment, which showed just how much the Ye family doted on him.
To clarify, Ye Tian's cheat had only modified his identity to make him Ye Lin's elder brother. Therefore, even though he had entered the Ye family, the family still doted on Ye Lin, and their attitude hadn't changed much due to his appearance.
“Mm, take me home first.”
Nodding casually, Ye Lin sat directly into the luxury car in the distance.
Ten minutes later, the luxury car slowly drove into an antique-style manor.
“Welcome home, Young Master.” As soon as he got out of the car, a group of beautiful maids greeted him with smiles.
“I'm a bit tired and want to get some good sleep. Make sure no one disturbs me.”
After giving a casual instruction, Ye Lin impatiently walked into his bedroom.
“Enter the game.” Quickly locking the door, he immediately muttered in his heart.
