Villain? No, I'll catch up with the protagonist after passing the civil service exam.

He wasn't particularly handsome, but he had an arrogant demeanor and eyes that conveyed the arrogance that "everyone here is trash."

"Teacher Lin, your new script, 'Let the Bullets Fly,' is absolutely brilliant! The lines are like they just fell from the sky!"

"Yes, Professor Lin, how do you know so much? You can even write about Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters?"

Listening to the praise around him, Lin Feng curled up a disdainful sneer.

genius?

No, he is merely a porter of nature.

Using the "Entertainment Tycoon System" in his mind, he brought over all the classic works from another world. In this parallel world, a cultural wasteland, he was a god, the creator who ruled over everything!

"What's this?"

Lin Feng took a sip of red wine, his eyes glazed over. "For my next project, I plan to write a sci-fi epic called 'The Three-Body Problem.' Let those foreigners see what Chinese science fiction is all about."

Screams and applause erupted from the crowd.

Just as Lin Feng was enjoying the thrill of being the center of attention...

"boom--!"

With a loud bang, the villa's supposedly bulletproof armored door was violently broken open from the outside.

The heavy door flew in, crashing into the pool and creating a huge splash.

The music stopped abruptly.

The screams instantly changed tone, from excitement to terror.

"Police! Don't move! Hands over your head!"

Zhao Tiezhu took the lead, leading the SWAT team in like a black tide. The dark muzzles of guns instantly took control of the entire area.

The young models who had been posing seductively just moments before were terrified, their faces pale with fright, and they crouched on the ground, trembling and covering their heads.

Lin Feng stood on the second-floor terrace, his wine glass frozen in mid-air.

He looked down at the group of fully armed special police officers downstairs, but instead of panicking like ordinary people, he narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of anger at being offended.

"police?"

He snorted coldly, looking down at the man who slowly walked in through the main entrance.

The man in the leather jacket and gold-rimmed glasses, who remained composed even amidst the chaos.

Lu Jingyan.

"You're that Officer Lu who's been acting all high and mighty lately?"

Lin Feng placed his wine glass on the railing, bracing himself with both hands, and said arrogantly, "Do you know where you are? Do you know who I am? How dare you trespass on my property? You don't want to wear this police uniform anymore?"

Lu Jingyan looked up and adjusted his glasses.

Their eyes met in mid-air, separated by a distance of more than ten meters.

"Lin Feng. His real name is Lin Ergou."

Lu Jingyan's voice was steady and extremely penetrating: "Suspected of large-scale copyright infringement, illegal business operations, money laundering, and... using illegal means to steal the intellectual property of others."

"I've come to invite you for tea."

"Copyright infringement?"

Lin Feng laughed as if he had heard a joke, throwing his head back and shouting, "I wrote all the books in this world! I sang all the songs! Whose rights did I infringe? Who has the right to make me infringe on theirs?"

He's a time traveler! He has a system!

All cultural works in this world are his "original creations"—that's a game-changer! How could ordinary people possibly understand?

"Lu Jingyan, I admit you're quite capable; you captured Xiao Huohuo and his gang of good-for-nothings."

Lin Feng's eyes turned venomous as he lightly tapped his fingers on the railing. "But you shouldn't have messed with me. In this world, I am the rule-maker, I am a god!"

"god?"

Lu Jingyan stepped up the stairs, approaching step by step, "I've seen quite a few of these 'gods' in the mental hospital."

"court death!"

Lin Feng was enraged.

With a thought, he frantically called upon the system in his mind.

"System! Exchange for skill—Invisibility! I'll show this arrogant cop what supernatural power is!"

[Ding! Host has spent 50000 reputation points to exchange for a basic invisibility skill! Skill activation in progress...]

As the system notification sounded, strange light began to distort around Lin Feng's body.

His figure blurred, as if he were about to merge into the air.

Zhao Tiezhu and Su Xiaoxiao downstairs stared wide-eyed.

"Holy crap! Captain Lu! Is this kid going to do magic?!"

Lu Jingyan watched the distorting light and shadow without pausing in his steps.

He simply issued a command in his mind.

"System, get to work."

[Ding! An illegal bot system has been detected running unauthorized plugins!]

[The righteous path's light system activated! All-domain suppression mode activated!]

[Firewall loading... Illegal data stream blocked! Forced offline!]

"Buzz—"

It sounded like a short circuit or a loud crackling sound in the air.

The eerie light and shadow surrounding Lin Feng shattered instantly, turning into specks of firefly light that dissipated.

His body, which had become semi-transparent, seemed to be forcibly pulled back to reality and became solid again.

Invisibility failed.

"What's going on?! System! What are you doing, System?!"

Lin Feng screamed in terror, frantically pounding his body, "Make myself invisible! Teleport, or anything! Take me away!"

[Buzz...Buzz... Encountered a higher-level attack...System...System crash...]

A jarring busy tone echoed in my mind, followed by complete silence.

Lin Feng was dumbfounded.

His greatest asset, his cheat code that allowed him to dominate the world, has actually... crashed?

"Clatter".

The sound of leather shoes on the marble floor stopped in front of him.

Lin Feng stiffly raised his head, meeting Lu Jingyan's cold, emotionless eyes.

"Stop shouting."

Lu Jingyan looked at the sweating "plagiarist" with a hint of mockery in his tone.

"Your cheat program has been suspended due to unpaid fees."

"You...who exactly are you?!" Lin Feng collapsed to the ground, fear finally showing in his eyes. "How could you possibly break my system? It's a product of a higher dimension!"

"Higher dimensions?"

Lu Jingyan squatted down, took out the silver bracelet from his pocket, and waved it in front of Lin Feng.

"In my jurisdiction, whether you are from a higher or lower dimension, as long as you break the law, you are reduced to a lower dimension."

"Click."

The handcuffs were coldly fastened to Lin Fan's wrists.

"Lin Feng, in addition to the charges I just mentioned, I want to add one more."

Lu Jingyan pointed at Lin Feng's head and said in a serious tone:

"Your 'system' is suspected of illegally publishing and disseminating harmful information, and it has not obtained an internet access license from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology."

"Confiscated."

Lin Feng: "..."

He completely broke down.

This is absolutely illegal publishing! This is absolutely illegal internet access license!

Is this policeman a devil?!

"take away!"

Lu Jingyan stood up and waved.

Zhao Tiezhu rushed up, picked up Lin Feng like a chick, and dragged him downstairs.

"Let me go! I'm a time traveler! I'm the protagonist! This script is wrong! I want to start over! I want to reload my save!"

Lin Feng's hysterical screams echoed through the villa, filled with resentment and despair.

With the arrest of this "behind-the-scenes godfather," this sweeping crackdown on the entertainment industry has finally come to a perfect end.

Special police officers began clearing the scene and seizing assets.

Su Xiaoxiao was holding her laptop, quickly backing up Lin Feng's massive "plagiarism database," marveling at the process as she did so.

"Captain Lu, this guy has a lot of material in his collection. If he were to release it all, our world's cultural landscape would be in complete chaos."

Lu Jingyan remained silent.

He went alone to the rooftop terrace of the villa.

The night breeze was cool, dispelling the previous commotion.

Looking at the brightly lit city of Jinghai in the distance, the tension that had been building in his heart finally eased.

Wealthy families, the entertainment industry, time travelers...

This journey has been like leveling up in a game; one seemingly invincible "protagonist" after another has ultimately fallen to the iron fist of the law.

The world line seems to have finally returned to normal.

"Is it over?"

Lu Jingyan took out a cigarette from his pocket, and was about to light it when he remembered something and put it back.

He raised his head and looked up at the vast and boundless starry sky.

The night is beautiful tonight, the Milky Way is dazzling, and it seems like you can almost touch it.

Sudden.

A strange meteor, trailing a long, purple tail, ripped through the silent night sky.

The light was so bright and eerie that it even overshadowed the city's neon lights.

Unlike ordinary meteors that flash and disappear, it exploded in the air after streaking across the sky, turning into countless points of starlight that scattered to every corner of the earth.

There seemed to be an indescribable smell in the air.

It's refreshing, yet carries a hint of restlessness.

Lu Jingyan frowned sharply.

He felt every cell in his body tremble inexplicably at that moment, a kind of biological instinct, a sensation of some unknown force.

【Ding! 】

The system notification sound, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly exploded in my mind.

This time, the voice was no longer the cold, mechanical sound of before, but carried an unprecedented urgency and warning.

[Highest Level Red Alert!]

[A high-dimensional energy barrier has been detected to be broken! The concentration of spiritual energy in the world is increasing exponentially!]

[Our worldview is undergoing a dramatic reconstruction...]

Lu Jingyan's pupils contracted sharply as he stared intently at the dazzling starry sky.

Volume 3: Ancient Martial Arts Cultivation - Coming Soon!

[New mission generated: Please prepare yourself for the era of universal cultivation!]

Lu Jingyan's fingers unconsciously gripped the railing tightly.

Cultivation?

In this modern city that values ​​law and science?

He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, and a smile that was both helpless and excited slowly curved his lips.

"It seems that catching people will be even more difficult from now on."

"Does flying on a sword count as driving without a license? Does disturbing the peace during a tribulation count as damaging public property?"

"interesting."

The wind is surging.

A new storm has arrived.
