In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 1: The System Arrives, But It Sends Me to Wreak Havoc on the World
Are you familiar with the napkin theory?

"At a round table, if someone picks up the napkin on the right, everyone else will pick up the napkin on the right; if someone picks up the napkin on the left, everyone else will follow suit."

"And now, I've picked up that original 'napkin'!"

In the school cafeteria, Su Yuan elegantly pulled out a napkin to wipe her mouth, and sighed softly.

Sitting directly opposite him, Chu Lanxi tilted her head and said strangely:

"Why are you suddenly acting so arrogant? You've got a job, kid?"

"What do you mean 'on'? I've never turned it off, okay?"

Su Yuan spoke arrogantly, his eyes looking down on Su Yuan.

Chu Lanxi remained silent for a moment, then her peach blossom eyes, which seemed to look at a dog with deep affection, suddenly curved slightly, and she sneered:
"Since President Su is so arrogant, then you can treat me to meals at the school cafeteria from now on. I won't ask you for anything anymore. How could I dare to let such an important person do my homework?"

This deadly move would have made Su Yuan immediately submit in the past, but to Chu Lanxi's surprise, Su Yuan only smiled disdainfully today.

"A true man dwells between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Lanxi felt puzzled.

Could this kid have actually opened it?

And indeed, it turned out to be exactly as Chu Lanxi had guessed.

At this moment, a virtual progress bar appeared in front of Su Yuan, with a line of large characters displayed on it.

【System loading】

Upon seeing these words, Su Yuan's eyes welled up with tears!
After traveling through time for many years, I've finally become someone with a system!

Looking back on the first eighteen years of my life, the only word to describe it is hardship!

Starting as an orphan, he studied hard for ten years. Even after being admitted to a top high school, he still had to earn tuition and living expenses by doing homework for others and taking odd jobs. He could not relax for a moment.

Now, everything is different!

The system is here! The world is at peace! The system is here! I, Su Yuan, have finally made it!

[System loading complete]

The moment the progress bar reached 100%, a crisp mechanical sound suddenly rang in Su Yuan's mind.

[Ding dong, congratulations host for binding to the Chaos System. As long as the host continues to complete the demon lord's missions, you can become a Demon Lord.]

[Newbie Demon Lord Quest Released]

[Mission: Seize the Opportunity (Incomplete)]

[As a demon, killing and robbing should be as simple as eating and drinking. Steal others' opportunities for your own use!]

[Task progress: 0/10]

[Quest Reward: The Demonic Heart of the Pure Land]

Su Yuan: "..."

What a weirdo! Let me take another look.

You read that right, it really is the Chaos System!
Who...who put this system on me?
I was born a legitimate transmigrator, worked hard to support myself, and couldn't even afford to rent a decent spiritual root. Now that the system has finally arrived, it immediately asks me to do illegal and disorderly things.

Murder for treasure? Stealing someone's opportunity?

He never stole a single penny in his entire life. The most immoral thing he ever did was see a hundred-dollar bill on the ground, quickly stomp on it, and stay there with the owner for three days and three nights.

Then this system suddenly appeared!

Who...who is trying to harm him?!

Chu Lanxi, who witnessed Su Yuan's expression change from excitement to aloofness, to loneliness, to shock, and finally to despair, could only describe it as "wonderful."

I never imagined that my classmate, at such a young age, would already be such a seasoned actor.

thump--

Su Yuan suddenly slumped onto the table, grabbed Chu Lanxi's hand, and said:

"Father, I was just joking. Please don't take it to heart. Besides, I'm so good at living. How can ordinary students compare to me?"

"That's right."

Chu Lanxi's lips curled slightly as she picked up her tray and left her seat, saying as she did so:

"Please take care of today's homework as well. I have something to do tonight, so don't wait up for me."

"Godfather, take care."

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, just you wait! (whispering)"

"What did you say?"

"No, I mean, I'll be doing your homework for the rest of my life."

Su Yuan stood at attention immediately. After Chu Lanxi's figure completely disappeared from sight, Su Yuan looked at the annoying system panel and sighed deeply.

"This damn system is ruining my life! Either don't come here in the first place, or what's with giving me a demonic cultivation system?"

"Now there's a comprehensive, all-encompassing divine power surveillance network everywhere. Demonic cultivators have no way out. Anyone who dares to break the law will be caught red-handed!"

After quickly finishing the rice on his plate, Su Yuan walked out of the cafeteria, out of the campus, and headed towards the nearby subway station.

Flying swords and spirit boats occasionally glide across the sky, traversing between skyscrapers.

There were even people riding cranes.

Look, there's a string of pale yellow auspicious clouds hanging behind the crane.

Wait, that doesn't look like auspicious clouds, it looks like a crane is pulling in mid-air!
Fortunately, the next second, a city cleaner rode a flying sword into the sky, skillfully caught the flying crane with a bag, and then went up to the crane's owner to collect the fine.

Su Yuan was already used to this.

He was a time traveler who, on his way home from get off work one day, stumbled upon a stroke of luck while saving someone, and ended up in this world with a highly developed cultivation civilization.

As far as I know, this world called Blue Star was at almost the same level of development as Earth more than 300 years ago, and there were no cultivators there.

But on the eve of the Industrial Revolution, the spiritual energy of Earth revived, and various ancient immortal cultivation relics appeared in the world, leading this world onto a development path completely different from that of Earth.

After more than three hundred years of development with its ups and downs, human civilization on Blue Star has unified, and the world is moving towards peace. In Su Yuan's era, knowledge of cultivation has become widespread, high-level cultivators have left their home planet to explore the stars, and artificial spiritual roots have entered thousands of households, truly realizing cultivation for all.

Su Yuan is an orphan who got into the prestigious Xiandao High School through his own hard work.

However, with the college entrance examination just over two hundred days away, his grades were only in the middle to upper range of the entire school, making it virtually impossible for him to gain admission to a top-tier immortal cultivation academy.

He thought the arrival of the system would change the situation, but clearly, his hopes were dashed.

Su Yuan is now considering whether to learn a skill in advance so that he can find a job after graduating from university.

We can't really go to a construction site to clean up mortar, can we?

After the subway arrived, Su Yuan walked to an apartment building, stopped, swiped his card to enter, took the elevator to the 28th floor, opened the door of one of the apartments, and went inside.

This is a two-bedroom, one-living room house with an actual area of ​​over 80 square meters. As an orphan, Su Yuan could not afford to rent such a large house, so he had to share it with others.

His roommate was none other than Chu Lanxi, his good classmate and father.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the spiritual energy revival, a statutory holiday that allows for a three-day break. Therefore, Su Yuan was not in a hurry to help his son with his homework. He lay down on the sofa, took out his phone, and started looking for work in various job-seeking groups.

He had given up on the system; only working could sustain his livelihood.

Soon, Su Yuan found a job as a waiter in a restaurant. After negotiating the price with the restaurant manager, Su Yuan took out his and Chu Lanxi's homework from his storage bag and began to write furiously.

By the time I finished my homework, it was already midnight.

Experts recommend that Qi Refining cultivators sleep four hours a day. Su Yuan, a Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator, plans to watch short videos for another hour before going to sleep.

Just then, Su Yuan's phone suddenly rang.

Chu Lanxi: Son, Dad has a takeout order that will be delivered soon. Go pick it up. I'll be home in ten minutes.

After reading the message, Su Yuan clicked his tongue.

Just then, a whooshing sound suddenly came from outside the window.

Su Yuan turned his head and saw a food delivery guy wearing a helmet and a yellow robe riding a flying sword at high speed.

Just before it was about to crash into Su Yuan's window, the flying sword suddenly swerved sideways and came to a stop at the window at the last second.

"Hello, this is Kangaroo Delivery. Here is the Spirit Fruit you ordered."

Su Yuan opened the window and took the food from the deliveryman.

"Enjoy your meal and life. Please give us a five-star review."

The delivery guy flashed a row of bright white teeth.

Just as Su Yuan was about to speak, another whooshing sound came from not far away. At a glance, he saw a middle-aged man in a security guard uniform riding a flying fork and chasing after him aggressively!

"No takeout allowed! Where are you running off to, you little brat!"

The security guard shouted, and the flying fork under his feet transformed into a sharp red light, shooting straight towards the deliveryman!

The deliveryman remained fearless, forming a sword-finger gesture with his hand, and a hundred cyan sword energies swirled around his body as he met the flying riot control fork head-on!
With the clanging sounds of flying forks and sword energy colliding, the delivery guy vanished at lightning speed, laughing loudly before leaving:
"Old Wang, your fork isn't fast enough, and it's not ruthless enough! You should just go home and retire!"

"Humph!"

The security guard snorted and pointed, and two missiles shot out from the tip of the riot control fork, hurtling towards the delivery guy in his astonished gaze.

With two loud bangs, the missile struck the deliveryman, transforming into two large nets of spiritual energy that tightly bound him.

"You wouldn't believe it, our property management company just received a new batch of Mi-type equipment!"

The security guard waved his hand, sending the fork flying back to his feet. He then grabbed the disheveled deliveryman and gave Su Yuan a solemn salute.

"Protecting the safety of homeowners is our inescapable duty!"

After saying that, he flew away with the delivery guy.

Su Yuan: "..."

Is this a battle of masters? But isn't there something off about the art style?

Su Yuan was a local, so he was only slightly surprised. He closed the window and pretended nothing had happened.

Looking at the heavy packaging bag and then at the price on the receipt, Su Yuan's lips twitched.

Chu Lanxi is really enjoying himself. He goes out and has fun all night, and then comes back to eat some fruit. How come there's such a big difference between people?
He casually opened the packaging bag, glanced at the bright red boxed fruit cutter inside, and was about to throw it on the table when a ding-dong sound suddenly rang in his ears.

[Demon Lord's Mission: Stealing Opportunities (In Progress)]

Su Yuan: "???"

What the hell? !

Ten minutes later, Chu Lanxi, dressed in a black leather jacket and with legs that seemed to go on forever, walked into the house and grabbed a takeout bag from the table by the door, only to find it was empty.

"Strange, where's my dragon fruit?"

Chu Lanxi muttered something, turned on the light and glanced around the living room, hearing rustling sounds coming from Su Yuan's room.

He tiptoed to Su Yuan's bedroom door, pushed open the half-closed door, and saw Su Yuan sitting at the desk with his back to the door, hunched over and doing something.

A faint fruity aroma wafted from that direction.

Chu Lanxi raised an eyebrow, strode towards Su Yuan, grabbed him by the back of the neck, stared at the scarlet juice that had touched Su Yuan's lips, and squinted as she drank:
"Where's my dragon fruit, Su Yuan? Have you seen it?"

"No no."

Su Yuan avoided eye contact.

Chu Lanxi pointed directly to the box of cut fruit that Su Yuan had hidden in the drawer:

"So what are you eating?"

"Ba, Banana."

Su Yuan continued to play dumb, trying his best to swallow the last bite of dragon fruit.
