The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 103
Added 2024-03-02 04:41:16 +0000 UTCChapter 103
Despite the Mu family having no direct ties with the Blue Light Corporation, their investment in the Blue Light Bar, coupled with Mu Linyu being a regular, meant that both the staff and the manager were quite familiar with her. Blessed with good looks, Mu Linyu naturally had many willing to lend her a hand.
Ling Chunann, noticing Mu Linyu's return to her seat, suspected she was up to no good and had already instructed 098 to monitor their actions.
"Host, Mu Linyu has arranged for someone to distract you later while she attempts to seduce Fu Xianzhi herself," 098 reported. "It seems she's blaming you for her previous failures to flirt successfully."
"Got it," Ling Chunann said, glancing at Fu Xianzhi with a hint of amusement.
"What's up, darling?" Fu Xianzhi asked, noticing Ling Chunann's look.
"Nothing, just admiring how handsome you are," Ling Chunann casually replied.
"You're the one who's truly beautiful," Fu Xianzhi said, tenderly adjusting Ling Chunann's hair, a gesture that made a woman approaching them momentarily stiffen.
However, she quickly regained her composure and seductively took a seat at the adjacent booth. With her makeup vibrant under the fluctuating lights, her eyes remained obscured, but her voice matched her alluring appearance. "Hey, handsome, care for a dance?"
"Host, this is the woman Mu Linyu sent to flirt with you," 098 informed in real-time.
Ling Chunann gave her a once-over, not outright rejecting her but instead responding with a smile and a nod towards the dance floor, "Dance? But I don't even know your name."
"Everyone calls me Suli. You can too," she said, her smile widening. Accustomed to many seeking a dance with her, she found it beneath her to be sent on this task, yet she was willing to make an exception for the attractive young man before her.
Ling Chunann, not one to play by conventional rules, declined, "Sorry, I'm not interested in your name, and I'm busy right now." He then excused himself to Fu Xianzhi, "I'm going to the restroom."
Suli, taken aback by Ling Chunann's change in attitude, was about to react aggressively but restrained herself upon noticing a bartender signaling her. Disgruntled, she scoffed, "Pretentious little boy, as if I cared," before strutting away.
Ling Chunann left for the restroom alone, rejecting Fu Xianzhi's offer to accompany him.
"Host, isn't this exactly what Mu Linyu wanted? What if she deceives Fu Xianzhi, who's new to human society?" 098 expressed its concern.
While washing his hands, Ling Chunann confidently replied, "I trust him. Don't forget what he is." He then suggested 098 check on Suli's online information.
098, having already searched Suli's background, was shocked to find her details drastically altered in just the time taken for a restroom break. Now, her life appeared chaotic, and she was infected with the MT09 virus. "Host, it's good you didn't dance with her. That virus is serious."
Ling Chunann nodded in agreement. The MT09 virus was a severe genetic disease causing irrational aggression until the infected's death. Infected individuals were quarantined for eighty days due to the unknown transmission route and lack of effective treatment.
These actions were undoubtedly Fu Xianzhi's doing. Though 098 could have pieced together the information, it couldn't have done so as swiftly and flawlessly.
"Host, the information is verified as real and has spread quickly. Authorities are already responding, and she'll be taken away soon," 098 reported, still in disbelief at Fu Xianzhi's capabilities.
Returning to their booth, Ling Chunann crossed paths with the male lead, Ye Chufeng, without any interaction.
"Host, something's off with the male lead," 098 noted.
Ling Chunann observed, "Naturally, he's upset his girlfriend repeatedly tried to flirt with someone else's boyfriend."
Back at their booth amidst the lively atmosphere, Ling Chunann found an empty glass. "What's this?"
"A woman tried to drug my drink. I switched our glasses, and she ended up drinking it herself," Fu Xianzhi explained, "She went to the restroom just as you came back."
"Host, it's Mu Linyu. She's entered the men's restroom," 098 reported, based on surveillance data.
"That so?" Ling Chunann raised an eyebrow. "Looks like we don't need to do anything after all."
"It's too noisy here; let's head back," Ling Chunann suggested to Fu Xianzhi. "I'm tired."
"Alright," Fu Xianzhi agreed, standing up and pulling Ling Chunann close to shield him from the crowded surroundings. "Let's go home."
Many guests, drawn by their striking appearance, realized they were a couple and showed signs of disappointment.
Upon leaving the bar, they saw numerous armed law enforcement officers surrounding the venue.
"Revenge value +10%, current value is 45%. Please continue your efforts, host."
In this life, Ling Chunann's rise was mostly through his literary works, barely reaching 35% before. Now, with a direct increase of 10%, 098 was ecstatic.
"Host, when the enforcement team went to arrest Suli, they found Ye Chufeng and Mu Linyu together in the restroom. Someone uploaded a video of them to the Star Network, and now the entire federation knows what they did. Plus, they're now in isolation for eighty days. Oh! You were in the bar too; could this affect you?"
"It's fine. He'll handle it," Ling Chunann reassured, confident in Fu Xianzhi's ability to manage the situation without implicating them.
As the hovercar autonomously drove them home, Ling Chunann, resting in Fu Xianzhi's embrace, felt sleepy. Despite his health improving, the genetic illness hadn't fully cleared, requiring him to sleep twice as much as an ordinary person. He suggested, "I remember Mu Linke studied pharmacology. Maybe I should pursue a career as a pharmaceutical researcher."
"The original host's wish was to become a supreme deity in the literary world," 098 reminded.
"The two aren't mutually exclusive," Ling Chunann pondered. "But since you mentioned it, let's write more today and skip the exercise."
098 suddenly felt a chill.
Soon after arriving home, 098 received a notification: due to negligence and misleading guidance, it was warned, with suspension looming for repeat offenses.
098 first thought of Ling Chunann's influence, sure that he hadn't complained. It then suspected Fu Xianzhi, considering the timing of its discomfort right after Ling Chunann mentioned skipping exercise, hinting at Fu Xianzhi's possible oversight of their conversations.
Reporting the situation seemed suicidal, given the warning's implications. 098 hesitated to share its suspicions with Ling Chunann during their alone time.
Being a system, especially a good one like itself, proved challenging.
"What's causing such a sigh?" Ling Chunann interrupted 098's thoughts while typing.
"Just a random sigh, host," 098 apologized.
"You're indeed a good system," Ling Chunann calmly continued his work, leaving 098 unsure how to proceed with its concern.
