The male supporting character was actually myself.

She suddenly became interested. Was there really so much to learn about stealing something?

I should humbly learn from the stinky system to ensure I get the best reward as soon as I take action, so I don't waste my time and effort for nothing.

"Tell me in detail how I can steal things to guarantee getting a high-level reward?"

First: The stolen items are of high value, such as alchemist's secret manuals or precious elixirs; Second: The items are not of high value but have extraordinary significance, such as highly valued relics; Third: The items are neither precious nor of special significance, but the consequences of their theft are serious, such as urgently needed life-saving medicine.

The more serious the consequences the host can bring about through theft, the greater the reward.

For example, stealing a beggar's essential clothing and food, causing him to freeze or starve to death; or stealing a martial artist's healing medicine, causing him to die from serious injuries.

Please note: Rewards resulting from consequences must be fully realized. Interruptions will result in the cancellation and revocation of the reward. For example: If the host steals medicine from a seriously ill person, leading to their death, the system will calculate the reward based on the worst-case scenario. However, if someone provides the medicine and saves the patient, the host's reward will be cancelled.

Damn it?

What kind of logic is this? Can a reward that has already been given be taken back?

Mu Liuli immediately became angry, "Isn't what you're doing inappropriate? The system made the judgment on the outcome, and you also gave the settlement reward. What if someone interrupts and it doesn't lead to the worst outcome? You still have to take back the reward? What kind of system is that demanding!"

[I'm sorry, the system's affinity with the host has only 35 points remaining, which is insufficient to provide a friendship reward. We must strictly adhere to the standards. Please continue to do bad things to accumulate more affinity points. Only when you reach 60 points will you be able to provide a friendship reward without having to withdraw it.]

"What if I use your reward early? What if my inventory is empty and I have no items to recycle?"

[Rewards for recycling will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Priority will be given to deducting rewards from the backpack; then, recyclable items will be recycled; if the amount is insufficient to offset the value of the recycling rewards, it will be automatically converted into deductions for favorability; if the accumulated rewards to be deducted reach a certain amount, the host's acquired spiritual roots, martial arts talents, and levels may all be deducted.]

Before Mu Liuli could utter a curse in shock, the system paused briefly before continuing to provide a prompt.

[If being bound to a system and receiving rewards for wrongdoing is so simple, yet the host still ends up worse off than an ordinary person, it can only mean that this system was blind and chose the wrong person. Besides unbinding and finding a better master, this useless trash will also be given a severe lesson.]

puff!

Mu Liuli almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Damn it, you didn't even ask before binding yourself to me. Do you think a grown man like me would want such a disgusting system?

Shameless!

It actively forces people to do bad things and turn them into villains, and then you despise it for killing your spirit. What a vicious and disgusting system!

Then she was glad she had asked a few more questions.

Otherwise, if you don't understand the rules for rewarding and recovering bad deeds, you might accidentally step on a landmine and suffer an undeserved disaster.

It seems that I have to be really serious about doing bad things from now on. If I want to kill someone, I have to wait until they are completely dead. Otherwise, I can't use the reward for the time being in case it is deducted by the stinking system.

As she pondered, she took out the most abundant and cheapest Rejuvenation Pill from her system inventory, chewed it, and swallowed it. The sweet pill, full of spiritual energy, immediately filled her body with spiritual power, and she didn't seem so hungry anymore.

"Alright, let's get going! Today's another day of doing bad things, let's do our best!" Mu Liuli pumped her fist to cheer herself up.

[Friendly reminder: There is a small village six kilometers to your right. Where there are people, you can do bad things to earn rewards.]

The advantage is that there are no martial artists in the small town. As a second-level Qi Refining martial artist, the host can easily run rampant in the small town. However, the host should be wary of the victim calling the police, as the town is 15 kilometers away from the county seat, where there are martial artists stationed.

The disadvantage is that there are no martial artists in the small town, only ordinary people. If the host does not use inhuman means to torture and kill the person, the reward will only be of ordinary level.

Additionally—five miles to the left rear and due east, in a mountain hollow, lies a wounded evil cultivator lurking. His strength is at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but even after being injured, he can still exert the strength of the third level. The advantage is that if the host does anything bad to him, the reward will be calculated based on the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, while the possible retaliation will only be at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Please choose your direction of travel based on your own condition.

A wounded demonic cultivator at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm?

I can't afford to mess with him. Doing bad things to him would definitely get me a great reward, since he's much higher level than me. But that's too dangerous! He could easily kill me with a single move. It's not worth risking my life for a little reward.

It's better to leave evil and wicked demonic cultivators to the righteous people to deal with.

As for me, the weak should have the self-awareness of the weak, and it's easier to target ordinary people.

So what if you can only earn spirit stones? With spirit stones, you can buy anything you want. It doesn't matter if your cultivation speed is a little slower; safety is the most important thing!

Moreover, the matter of time travel and possession has been exposed, and he has caused such a big commotion in Wuhai City. He needs to keep a low profile and try to hide for a while, otherwise it would be terrible if he were discovered and taken back.

I'd never be so foolish as to expose myself just to get involved with a demonic cultivator.

"Oh right, I need to change my appearance, right?" She suddenly remembered a crucial question, and hurriedly touched her fair cheeks, secretly annoyed. The original owner was quite pretty, but unfortunately she needed to change her face to be carefree.

With this thought in mind, Mu Liuli took out a Face-Changing Pill from her system inventory and swallowed it, then created a new, more charming and pretty face for herself.

Chapter Twenty-Six: The system is getting stingier and stingier...

Looking at the new face she had sculpted according to her own preferences, Mu Liuli was very satisfied.

Although I don't have a prestigious family background to rely on, I have my own system!

She can easily change her face and identity to start anew. The arrogant Mu family heiress is a thing of the past. From now on, I am a brand new beautiful girl. Even if the High Martial Arts Alliance issues an arrest warrant for Mu Liuli, I don't need to worry or be afraid.

Moreover, there are so many spirit stones in the system's inventory; just take out a few and resell them to regain a comfortable life.

"From now on, I will change my name to Zhilan..." She was just thinking about how to spend money to bribe her way to a new identity when she heard the system's cold, emotionless notification.

[A qualified villain must have the ability to take responsibility for their evil deeds. A true man does not change his name or surname; therefore, the host must use 'Mu Liuli' as their real name. The system's affinity with the host is too low to support the use of an alias. We apologize for the inconvenience.]

Damn it!

They won't even let me wear a vest?

Mu Liuli's forehead immediately flared with anger. "You're going to interfere with me changing my name? What's it to you? What if I insist on changing it?"

[Even the most vicious villain couldn't maintain his last shred of integrity. Each time the host stubbornly insists on using a false name, ten points of favorability will be deducted. The host should quickly and diligently commit more evil deeds; otherwise, the system will automatically unbind and reset the rewards once the favorability drops to zero.]

It hardened! Mu Liuli's fist hardened!

This punch requires at least five hundred years of internal energy!

But after fuming for a long time, she finally had to bow her head and submit to the tyranny of the foul system, even suppressing her idea of ​​using an alias.

Originally, changing one's appearance and name, and spending some money to get a new identity would have been enough to get rid of the trouble completely.

The awful system is unreliable; it won't let me change the name at all.

Even if you spend money to get a new identity, it will be easy to be noticed. Although it won't matter if people with the same name and surname don't look alike, you can't change your blood type or DNA just by changing your face. What if you are suspected and taken for a blood test?

I don't know how to process identity information in this world. It's all because the original owner was ignorant and incompetent, so I couldn't inherit any common sense. I guess creating a new identity doesn't require inputting genetic information or anything like that?

It seems that the modern world I lived in in my previous life has started to establish gene banks, and newborns are uniformly entered with information to prevent them from being trafficked... If I need to have my blood tested and genetic information entered to get an ID card here, then my secret of being Mu Liuli will be exposed.

Damn it, I can't be an unregistered person for the rest of my life, can I?

"System, can you give me the new identity certificate as a reward? You're the system, you can definitely do it, right?" After changing her appearance, Mu Liuli even slightly adjusted her voice, making it completely different from her original one. She used a high-pitched voice to coax the system.

[Please continue your evil deeds, host, and do even more evil deeds. The system will randomly distribute rewards; requests for specific individuals will not be accepted. Thank you for your understanding.]

She was clearly unhappy, knowing that the stinky system wouldn't help her. It always wanted to turn good people into villains, so how could it possibly help others?

If I want the system to guarantee my identity, I guess I'll have to spend more favorability points, right?

We only have 35 points left, we absolutely cannot waste any more!

Mu Liuli pondered how to do something bad quietly as she walked towards the village indicated by the system.

“Host, I have some new information!” The fluffy dumpling followed behind her, holding a phone and sending a voice message to its host. “First of all, our plan has been very successful. I overheard that the affinity between the Wild System and Mu Liuli is only 35 points. Once it reaches zero, the bond can be broken.”

Secondly, there is an injured demonic cultivator lurking in a mountain valley five miles east of the location I sent you. He can only exert the strength of the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage right now, which is a big hidden danger. We must strike while he is weak and kill him.

Finally, Mu Liuli changed her appearance but not her name; she lacked legal identification information. This could be a potential starting point for arresting her!

Wearing sunglasses, Jiang Chen skillfully piloted a cool helicopter, flying north along the approved route.

Upon hearing the message from the fluffy dumpling, he immediately opened the high-level martial arts communication group, shared his location, and posted a message: "Everyone, I have received reliable information that an injured and escaped demonic cultivator is hiding nearby. Currently, he should only be able to exert the strength of the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage."

I only cultivate alchemy and not martial arts. I am willing but unable to rid the people of evil.

"Which expert can vanquish the demons and protect the people? In addition to the bounty from the High Martial Arts Alliance, I can also offer a Wind Spirit Pill as a token of my respect!"

As a Golden Core Realm expert and a rare alchemist, Feng Lingyu could easily access a network of connections completely different from those of ordinary martial artists, even without cultivating such connections.

However, the original owner deliberately stayed away from people and did not interact with others. Even if he joined a group, he never said a word. Apart from the group owner, almost no one knew about him, such a nobody.

"Near Xiangling City? Huh? Could this guy's post be about that demonic cultivator who was discovered during the large-scale raid a few days ago, suddenly attacked and injured people, broke through the encirclement, and disappeared near the border of Xiangling City?"

"How many more wounded and lurking demonic cultivators are there? It's definitely him!"

"The guy who posted the message is even giving away Wind Spirit Pills? Is he that incredibly generous?"

"@Group Admin, I've been in seclusion for a few days, and when I came out I saw a lot of shocking messages in the group. Can you explain what's going on?"

The chat group instantly became lively, but Jiang Chen stopped paying attention and focused on piloting the helicopter. He needed to get there before Mu Liuli did anything wrong, and time was a bit tight.

But the group owner, who was circled, glanced at the message excitedly and hurriedly replied, "It all started half a month ago when the Xiangling City police received a report of a missing person case. During the investigation, they followed the clues and uncovered a major case!"

Originally, these were all cases involving ordinary people. However, when the Xiangling City police launched their operation to arrest the suspects a couple of days ago, they discovered that it was actually a series of murders perpetrated by demonic cultivators who were using ignorant civilians to form an evil cult. The High Martial Arts Alliance provided emergency support, and a chaotic battle ensued during the arrest.

In the end, the demonic cultivator known as 'Valley God' used evil magic to detonate the dozen or so mortals who were chasing him, and then escaped with injuries in the chaos.

The High Martial Arts Alliance has issued an arrest warrant, promising a hefty reward to anyone who can capture this demonic cultivator!

Martial artists who can provide clues can also receive generous rewards. Brother Feng is well-informed. If the location is accurate and can find the traces of the demonic cultivator, he can claim the bounty from the High Martial Alliance based on the screenshot in the group.

As for the Wind Spirit Pill that Brother Feng mentioned, he's an alchemist, so naturally he has no shortage of pills!

"Wow, the group owner has quite the connections! There's even an alchemist in our group?"

"Let's all get acquainted and become familiar with each other! Brother Feng, I am Xia Qingsheng, a martial artist at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm who is about to attempt to break through to the Golden Core Realm. Make sure you recognize me! By the way, I'm begging for a Breakthrough Pill to increase your advancement bonus. As long as you have the pill, I'll give you whatever conditions you have!"

"Don't trouble Brother Feng with such a rare Breakthrough Pill. Go and wait at the auction house yourself. Brother Feng, look at me, I only need one Spirit-Stabilizing Pill, for an emergency life-saving situation! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. If you have any connections, that's fine too. As long as the information is accurate, there will be a generous reward!"

"I urgently need a Tiger Penis Pill. I've wasted my youth cultivating for many years. Now all I want is to have a child with good talent, good health, and abundant vitality!"

"Does any alchemist master have any Youth Preservation Pills for sale? I don't care how many spirit stones it costs, just one is enough..."

…………

With the group admin, who holds a high position of authority, personally endorsing it, the group immediately erupted in excitement.

A group of martial arts masters, who were usually aloof and dignified in public, completely disregarded their image at this moment, and their requests for elixirs instantly flooded the screen with over 99 messages.

This is just a small, privately established circle, and only those at least at the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm are qualified to join, with most already being experts at the Golden Core Realm. Yet, their eagerness to meet an alchemist speaks volumes about how much ordinary martial artists without extensive connections would fawn over an alchemist.

No wonder that in the original story, after Mu Liuli obtained the spiritual roots, talents, and readily available high-level alchemy skills needed for alchemy by cruelly killing people, her status rose so high that even the bigwigs of the High Martial Alliance headquarters were willing to kneel and fawn over her.

"Mu Liuli, Mu Liuli, you have no idea what you've lost." Jiang Chen glanced at the group chat, a smile playing on his lips. He slightly adjusted the control stick, directing the helicopter to fly northwest, and said coldly, "Soon, you'll have nothing left."

The information about the injured demonic cultivator that I obtained by chance turned out to be related to the Xiangling City Police Department.

He suddenly remembered that in the original plot, Duan Changyun did indeed take on a very difficult major case, but after all, he was just a minor character, and the plot only mentioned him briefly without explaining him in detail.

I do remember the injured demonic cultivator. When Mu Liuli was roaming around Xiangling City in disguise, she framed the demonic cultivator for the disaster and then enjoyed the generous rewards she received for harming the people.
