Fang Yu was stunned at first, then overjoyed.
"I actually gained a full 500 villain points!"
"As expected of the main villain boss in this story—the weight I carry in this world isn't comparable to some minor character like Jiang Yue."
"Just one encounter with Song Chaoyu caused a slight plot change and affected her mentality, earning me 500 villain points."
Fang Yu's lips curved upward slightly, feeling pleased.
"Friendly reminder: The host's current villain value is 700, and the protagonist's current luck value is 14,300."
Fang Yu pondered. "However, there's still a long way to go before I can completely plunder Chen Ye's luck value."
Unless Chen Ye's protagonist halo was completely stripped away, he would always remain a massive threat.
"With 700 villain points now available, you can begin utilizing the system."
The system prompted again in a surprisingly human-like manner.
"Villain points can be used to enhance attributes such as physique and charm, extract skills, improve skill levels, and strengthen host abilities. The system will unlock additional features in the future—please stay tuned~"
Fang Yu asked mentally, "How many villain points does each function require?"
"100 villain points can increase 1 point of constitution or 1 point of charm."
"Random skill extraction costs 500 villain points, while targeted skill extraction costs 1,000 villain points. When extracting skills in a targeted manner, the host can browse the searchable skill list."
"Depending on the skill level and inherent strength, different amounts of villain points are required to upgrade skills."
Fang Yu contemplated. "100 villain points for 1 attribute point, and 1,000 points to extract a specific skill. My current villain points aren't nearly enough..."
As for random skill extraction, he dismissed it entirely.
It sounded completely useless. Unless someone was insane or had too many villain points to spare, no one would choose a random lottery.
Fang Yu examined his system interface.
The Strongest Villain System:
Host: Fang Yu
Personal Wealth: 1.9 billion
Charm Value: 13 [ordinary people: 10, upper limit: 30]
Physical Fitness Value: 12 [ordinary people: 10]
Skills: Cello [Advanced], Piano [Advanced], Literature Appreciation [Intermediate]...
Villain Value: 700
Current Triggered Story: "The Mountain Master in the City"
The original Master Fang had accumulated quite a few miscellaneous skills, but almost none were practical. The option to upgrade skill levels was immediately dismissed.
Fang Yu's attention focused on physique and charm.
Physical fitness was a comprehensive concept encompassing multiple abilities—strength, agility, resistance to damage, and even mental fortitude.
The charm attribute wasn't merely an improvement in appearance and temperament; it also affected the favorability of plot characters!
To put it simply, it was somewhat similar to certain aspects of the protagonist's halo.
In the novel, the protagonist usually just stood there, and all sorts of beauties and influential figures would approach him, easily gaining their trust and support.
Utterly ridiculous.
Fang Yu quickly made his choice. "This time, I'll increase my charm value first."
Although charm seemed intangible, it was actually crucial, especially when dealing with plot characters.
Random passersby might fawn over him and show respect due to his appearance and status, but this might not work when facing important story characters.
Moreover, "The Master Comes Down the Mountain in the City" didn't involve ancient martial arts or the more exaggerated cultivation of immortals.
Although the protagonist Chen Ye was quite skilled, he wasn't renowned for martial prowess. His specialty was medicine, with dabbling in feng shui, physiognomy, and other mystical arts.
Fang Yu thought to himself, "Besides, my advantages are my identity, wealth, and status. I won't be foolish enough to confront Chen Ye directly. If I have to fight Chen Ye one-on-one, it means I've reached the end of my rope and am making a desperate last stand."
"System, use all villain points to increase charm value!"
"Ding!"
"Host villain value -700, charm value +7!"
As soon as the words finished, the number behind charm value changed to "20."
If someone stood before Fang Yu at this moment, they would sense his invisible temperament and magnetic field transforming.
With an upper limit of 30 points for charm value, 20 was already exceptionally high.
Fang Yu returned to the club's reception hall.
The driver quickly brought the Bugatti Veyron from the parking lot and drove Fang Yu away.
Leaving Qingteng Golf Club behind.
Fang Yu sat in the car with his eyes closed in contemplation. His personal secretary beside him asked coolly, "Young Master, where to next?"
"Home first."
Fang Yu spoke with his eyes slightly closed.
Then he fell silent, beginning to recall his entire encounter with Song Chaoyu.
As described in the novel, the second young lady of the Song family was indeed a very troublesome opponent.
Even though she was currently in a dormant phase, her capabilities shouldn't be underestimated. He mustn't be greedy or rush things, but should proceed step by step.
Today, Fang Yu had only made a few probing moves without exposing himself too much.
"There are still seven days until the protagonist Chen Ye arrives in Haiqing City. During this time, I should do everything possible to cut off his opportunities and eliminate potential threats."
Fang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
I will never give Chen Ye a chance to rise.
Those novel villains who love scheming and strategizing, wanting to wait for the protagonist to reach his peak before defeating him, are complete idiots—their graves would be overgrown with grass by now.
On the other side.
After Fang Yu left, Song Chaoyu stood alone on the court, her expression dark and uncertain. She was the only person in the vast space.
Today's Fang Yu seems like a completely different person—impossible to read.
Song Chaoyu thought carefully.
Throughout today's meeting, it seemed Fang Yu had maintained the initiative, leading her around by the nose the entire time!
"Moreover, what exactly did Fang Yu mean by those words?"
"It felt like there was hidden meaning..."
Song Chaoyu's eyes grew deep and cold. "It shouldn't be possible for a person to change so drastically in such a short time. Is someone behind him pulling the strings? But who could it be?"
A figure approached silently behind Song Chaoyu.
"Miss."
After a long silence, Song Chaoyu spoke calmly:
"Go investigate whether Fang Yu has had contact with any suspicious individuals recently."
"Yes."
The figure responded respectfully, then added, "Miss, if you suspect Fang Yu has problems, why not simply eliminate him..."
"Fool!"
Song Chaoyu's voice suddenly turned icy. "Is he some street thug? Can I just kill him at will? Setting aside the question of success, what if my plan is exposed and everything falls apart? Can you bear the consequences?"
"Do your job properly!"
"Yes, I made an error in judgment."
Hearing her response, the figure trembled, lowered their head, and dared not speak further.
Song Chaoyu stared into the distance, lost in thought.
