Everyone Wants Me Dead: The Villain Lord's Survival Diary-Chapter 38 – New features of the System
Sylvie had been gone for quite a while before Roye finally peeked her head out from the fluffy tail.
She cautiously looked around, as if confirming something.
Then she saw a group of Demi-humans outside her room, all looking at her with worried expressions.
Roye's cheeks flushed red, and she quickly signaled the Demi-humans guarding the door to close it. Only then did she feel a sense of relief, her tense body finally relaxing.
She felt weak and limp, without a trace of strength, and even... Roye dared not think further.
Blushing, she shakily stood up, her slender, long legs still a bit wobbly, forcing her to support herself against the wall. She rummaged through the cabinet for a new pair of undergarments to change into, finally feeling more at ease.
"Bang—"
The door suddenly burst open, and Ye Hao rushed in, his face full of panic.
"Roye, are you okay? That bastard didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"Get out!"
Roye's pretty face turned stern, and she protectively covered her chest with one hand, angrily scolding.
"Roye, I..." Ye Hao was taken aback by Roye's sudden reprimand, unsure of what to do.
"I said, get out!"
The fox-eared girl clenched her fists, her eyebrows furrowed, and her small face flushed with anger.
This was her room, and Ye Hao barging in so recklessly was not only disrespectful but also startled her.
What if she had been changing just now?
"Ah... sorry, sorry... I'll leave right away."
Ye Hao realized he had been a bit impulsive and had startled the lady.
Seeing Roye's priestess dress properly worn, the room tidy, and no strange smell in the air, he felt much more at ease.
So, before the girl could get completely angry, he exited the room.
Standing outside the room, Ye Hao thought of the dozens of meters long crack on the ground and how he had exhausted his breakthrough skills, feeling a surge of helplessness and frustration.
Moreover, the girl he liked had been in the same room with his enemy for over ten minutes, and she had just scolded him like that...
Ye Hao's eyes gradually darkened.
He stood there for a moment, suddenly seeming to think of something, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
He hesitated, looking at his hand and then at Roye's tightly closed door, finally seeming to make a decision, gritting his teeth as he left the Mayor's Estate.
Cautiously, he returned to his room, ensuring no one followed him, and carefully closed the door and windows.
Only then did he sneakily retrieve a palm-sized box from under the bed.
Ye Hao looked at the small box in his hand with suspicion, and after a brief hesitation, he opened it with trembling hands.
Inside the box lay a skull statue with a goat's head, a human body, and bat wings.
The statue lay quietly in the center of the box, a terrifying red glow flashing in its hollow eye sockets.
...
Meanwhile, Sylvie and his army had already left Morninglight Town.
When Sylvie left Morninglight Town, many players expressed their desire to join Winterfell City and follow his troops, but he sternly refused them all.
It wasn't because Sylvie thought the players were too weak or for any other reason.
Mainly, there were still a series of necessary events to carry out, like "capturing Demi-human female slaves" and "issuing the Demi-human Slave Pact." Recruiting players now would just be asking for trouble, wouldn't it?
Once he completely dealt with Ye Hao and brought Roye back to Winterfell Keep, if players were still willing to join Winterfell City, Sylvie would welcome them with open arms.
Who would refuse these diligent, crystal-clear cash cows?
Riding his trusty Dragonblood Steed, Sylvie waved his hand to start the lottery.
"System, have I completed the daily quests? I want to draw a prize!"
"Ding! Detected that the host has completed all daily villain quests, starting to draw rewards for the host..."
"System drawing..."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Carter Morgan's Dragonblood Potion. Unfortunately, this reward did not trigger a critical bonus. Please continue to complete more villain quests to become the strongest villain."
Sylvie ignored the system's sarcastic encouragement because he already had a crystal vial containing a purplish-red potion in his hand.
"What does this thing do?"
"Ding! Carter Morgan's Dragonblood Potion is a body-strengthening potion crafted by the legendary alchemist Carter Morgan, with the primary ingredient being the blood of a Red Dragon."
Sylvie raised an eyebrow; it sounded impressive, using dragon blood to make a potion, and the alchemist wasn't even a profession on the Kain Continent.
On the Kain Continent, potion-making was a side job for alchemists.
He had always thought the potions he drew would be temporary ones like healing potions, growth potions, or petrification potions, which weren't particularly useful.
It seemed he had misunderstood the system.
He didn't expect to draw something so extraordinary.
No, it seemed the system always provided decent items.
Thinking of the hero-grade armor he wore and the fierce Bloodhoof Clan, even the Relic Source of the Wilds, which wasn't very useful to him, was actually a very valuable item, as the system described it as one-of-a-kind in the world.
With this in mind, Sylvie suddenly felt a bit sorry for the system he cursed daily.
"Stupid system, I misunderstood you; turns out you're the real deal!"
System: "..."
"So if I drink this Carter Morgan's Dragonblood Potion, will I turn into a Red Dragon?"
"Ding! No, this is just a body-strengthening potion, not a mutation potion!"
Sylvie sensed a hint of resentment in the system's response.
He awkwardly scratched his nose and continued, "So if I drink this potion, will I writhe in pain, my body swell and break, and breathe dragon fire?"
"...Ding! No, body strengthening is a gradual process, taking about three days."
"The Dragonblood Potion, crafted by the legendary alchemist Carter Morgan, uses precious materials and exquisite techniques to make the originally fierce Red Dragon blood very mild, allowing even a three-year-old child to absorb it perfectly."
"Ding! Please use the Dragonblood Potion immediately, as its properties will begin to dissipate once it leaves the system space."
Already urging?
Sylvie pursed his lips, but hearing the system's explanation, he felt much more at ease.
So he opened the vial's cap, sniffed it, and detected a faint sulfur smell.
"Not bad, it smells like Red Dragon."
Sylvie nodded in satisfaction, then opened his mouth, tilted his head back, and felt a warm current slide from his throat into his stomach, quickly igniting like a fire in his belly.
The scorching sensation spread to his limbs, making him feel like he was soaking in a hot spring, shivering in comfort.
"Not bad! This feels like soda from my past life."
"System, does this potion have any side effects?"
"Ding! As the host's body will perfectly integrate a trace of Red Dragon bloodline in the future, this will reduce the host's probability of having offspring. Conversely, it will enhance the host's reproductive combat abilities."
Sylvie was stunned, then thought of the characteristics of dragons—legendary creatures known for spreading their seed everywhere but with low fertility rates.
This side effect of the Dragonblood Potion seemed reasonable.
However, from some perspectives, this might not be a side effect but rather a form of enhancement.
"Ding! The reward distribution is complete, and a new system feature has been unlocked."
"Ding! Now introducing the new system feature to the host."
"With the new feature, the host's villainous actions will earn villain points, determined by the system."
"Villain points can be used to exchange items in the Villain Shop, which updates weekly. The Villain Shop has been updated this week; please check it out."
"Villain points?"
Sylvie pondered, realizing the system intended for him to walk the path of a villain to the end, tempting him to commit misdeeds in various ways.
Sylvie opened the Villain Shop and found no overpowered items like Nine Dragons Coffin, Star Annihilation Cannon, Super Satellite, or Nine Heavens Demon God Technique.
Instead, it contained practical items.
Some items were even limited in quantity each week.
The most expensive item currently was the Sky Knight Breakthrough Elixir, priced at ten thousand villain points, with a limit of one per week.
Sylvie's eyes lit up; if he could exchange for this elixir, it could not only help Claremont break through to Sky Knight but also significantly extend his lifespan.
The cheapest items were a set of fine-grade knight equipment, priced at 500 villain points, and a set of fine-grade mage equipment, also priced at 500 villain points.
These could be used to arm his troops and perhaps even harvest players' cash cows in the future.
Besides these, there were mounts, siege weapons, weapon blueprints, and other good items, but Sylvie wasn't sure about his efficiency in earning villain points yet, so he refrained from evaluating their cost-effectiveness for now.
