Villains: Starting with the Landlady

Author: Two Ounces of Wine

Summary:

Lingyun awakens the Villain Plunder System, which grants him various abilities by plundering the "protagonist".

Turning lead into gold? Give it to me!

A spatial ring? Great, it's mine now.

As for those beautiful female leads... sorry, I, Ling, am a gentleman!

Regarding Luck Value

This story will not deliberately suppress the main character. I know what everyone is here for, so I know which parts should be written more.

The higher a character's initial luck value, the further they are likely to go in the future.

☆Even if these characters have high luck values, they can still be directly eliminated!

Missing certain crucial opportunities can directly cause these characters to lose their "protagonist" status. For example, if the protagonist of a fantasy novel doesn't activate his cheat ability at the beginning, he might die within three chapters. He might dominate the continent in the future, but without his cheat ability, he's destined to never have it. As for some minor "protagonists," they improve entirely through their own efforts, so missing certain opportunities isn't important to them; it varies from person to person.

Finally, happy reading! Feel free to share any "cute," "healthy," or "harmonious" ideas you have with me; I'll listen carefully and might even include them in later chapters. Reading is about making yourself happy; life is already stressful enough, so let's cheer up!

Chapter 1 System Activation

Lingyun's academic performance was not outstanding, but he had a very wealthy aunt, Su Qingya, who managed to get him into the Imperial University of Beijing.

Thanks to the principal being an old acquaintance of hers, whenever Ling Yun failed a test, the teachers would go to great lengths to help him improve.

Because the school dormitories were in poor condition, Su Qingya rented an apartment for Lingyun near the school. It was a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment, and if it weren't for the less-than-ideal location, Su Qingya would have bought it outright. Although Lingyun said it was too wasteful for him to live alone, Su Qingya, who doted on him, was afraid he would suffer, so she generously paid four years' rent upfront.

During holidays, Ling Yun would still return to his villa in the capital to live with Su Qingya.

Ling Yun is about to be a junior in college. He is 1.83 meters tall, handsome, and has a strong physique, making him quite popular with women. However, he has always been very low-key and has never been in a relationship. Even his classmates don't know that his family is very wealthy; they just think of him as an ordinary local from Beijing.

As summer vacation drew to a close, Lingyun packed her things and prepared to leave the villa for her rented apartment.

"Xiaoyun, is everything ready?"

"Ah."

The rented room was fully furnished; Lingyun only took a few changes of clothes and a computer, which she packed in a small suitcase.

Su Qingya walked to the car and opened the trunk with the car key.

Su Qingya is 40 years old and 1.71 meters tall. Although she is a beautiful woman in her forties, she is very well-maintained; you would think she is only in her early thirties. She has a delicate oval face, beautiful big eyes, and a small, exquisite nose. Her full, alluring red lips are still vibrant even without lipstick. Because she is already a business queen, she also has a very strong aura.

Compared to these, Su Qingya's waist was rather slender, and her plump and rounded legs were covered by a skirt and stockings, making it impossible to see the beautiful scenery inside.

Looking at Ling Yun who had put his luggage in the back, Su Qingya couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

Since that incident, their relationship has been somewhat awkward these past few days. She suddenly realized that the little guy she had taken in had grown up and was now a real man, and could no longer be treated like a child.

"I'm ready, shall we go?"

Ling Yun's eyes quickly swept over Su Qingya before he turned and got into the passenger seat.

Su Qingya sighed softly, glanced at herself, and couldn't help but recall the night five days ago.

That day, her company organized a team building activity. Because business was booming, she was happy and drank some alcohol. She originally planned to find a designated driver, but was afraid of encountering bad people, so she finally called Lingyun and asked him to come and pick her up.

Lingyun got his driver's license after graduating from high school. He hadn't driven much in the two years he'd been driving, but it was enough. After arriving at the hotel by taxi, he picked up Su Qingya and went home.

Su Qingya had a high alcohol tolerance when she was young, but now that she's almost 40, she's not as good as she used to be and appears quite drunk.

After returning home, Lingyun helped her to the bathroom. She didn't vomit, but she took a shower in a daze and went back to her room to sleep.

Thirsty in the middle of the night, she opened her eyes to find a glass of water on her bedside table. She figured it was Ling Yun who had made it, and her heart warmed. After drinking the water, she was about to go to the bathroom when she witnessed something that shocked her.

Ling Yun was actually holding her clothes! Although he didn't do anything, he just stood there dumbfounded, but he... had already made Su Qingya understand what he was thinking.

She was shy and slightly angry at the time, and scolded Ling Yun, but she didn't expect that Ling Yun would turn around and hug her, expressing his love.

Ling Yun knew about their relationship and naturally wasn't afraid of breaking any taboos. Su Qingya, having been single for many years, was hearing such a passionate and direct confession for the first time, and her heart slowly softened.

Although she did not accept Ling Yun's confession, she couldn't bear to see him disappointed.

When her cool, soft little hand touched Ling Yun, the young man couldn't help but shiver. Once he was sure he wasn't dreaming, he hugged Su Qingya tightly.

Su Qingya seemed to wake up with a start, quickly broke free from his large hand, ran back to her room, and locked the door.

When they woke up the next day, their relationship was a little awkward, and they spoke much less to each other.

Coming to her senses, she glanced at the time and realized that five minutes had passed. Thinking about what had happened that night, she quickly patted her slightly flushed cheeks and got into the car.

"What are you thinking about?"

"nothing."

She dared not meet Ling Yun's fiery gaze, silently started the car, and drove to the rented house.

As she entered the room, she helped tidy up Ling Yun's room. Seeing that he had put everything away, she prepared to leave.

"Can I hug you?"

Just as she walked into the living room, Ling Yun chased after her.

Su Qingya turned her back to Ling Yun, pondered for a moment, and then slowly turned around.

Upon receiving her acquiescence, Ling Yun's face lit up with joy. He hugged her tightly, inhaling the mature woman's fragrance emanating from her, becoming somewhat intoxicated.

"Xiaoyun, you're about to turn 20, why are you still acting like a child?"

The distance between them gradually faded away with this hug. Su Qingya hugged his waist and chuckled softly.

I want to be with you forever.

"Look at what you're saying, have we ever broken up?"

Su Qingya gently broke free, stared at his face for a moment, and then straightened her clothes: "I'm leaving. Study hard in the new semester. Your Vice Principal Fu keeps calling me to talk about your studies."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll try my best!"

Su Qingya smiled, knowing that Ling Yun was probably just fooling her. But she had raised Ling Yun to adulthood, so who else would she love more than him?

Ling Yun watched her drive away before closing the door and returning to his own room.

He raised his left wrist, where there was a diamond-shaped symbol visible only to him, and below it a constantly jumping countdown.

"Almost there, just a quarter of an hour left."

One night about two weeks ago, a shimmering object appeared out of thin air in his room. He vaguely heard something like "Finally found it" before it flew onto his wrist.

He didn't know what it was, but with each tick of the countdown, he could feel his physical fitness getting stronger.

In his nervous state, the countdown on his wrist finally reached zero.

[Congratulations, Master, on unlocking the "Villain Plundering System"! Nice to meet you, I'm the system sprite Xiaona, you can also call me Nana!]

A pleasant, playful voice rang in Ling Yun's ears. He looked around but saw nothing.

【Master, Master, I haven't materialized yet! You can communicate with me using your thoughts.】

"Xiao Na, you said you're a system spirit?" Ling Yun's heart suddenly raced. He had read many comics and novels, so he naturally knew what a system represented.

Yes, as long as the master meets the conditions, he will receive a reward, and standing at the top of the world will not be difficult!

Ling Yun took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions and continued to ask, "The villain...does that mean I have to do those evil things?"

Master, don't you yearn to truly possess that person?

Xiao Na's words made Ling Yun hold her breath, and she continued in a seductive tone.

Power and status—things even the masters lack—you can have them all, whatever you desire!

Chapter 2 Villain Plunder System

Can I get everything I want?

These words seemed to open Pandora's box in Ling Yun's heart.

He's not a model citizen. What he presents to outsiders is his humility and politeness, but that's not how he truly is. This is evident in his attitude towards Su Qingya; it appears rational and restrained, but it isn't.

Su Qingya is a beautiful and sexy woman, and she even raised him to adulthood. To hand her over to someone else and be cuckolded? Absolutely not!

However, due to certain circumstances, he could sense that Su Qingya had reservations about him.

However, now that he has the system, perhaps all the things he is worried about will no longer be problems!

Once he possesses supreme power, many things become mere empty talk.

"Xiao Na, what are your specific functions?"

[Master, the world you inhabit is not a simple, ordinary world, but a complex world composed of many individuals with extraordinary destiny. They possess various wondrous abilities, but before they emerge, they appear no different from ordinary passersby. My ability is to help you weaken these people's destiny. When their destiny reaches zero, they will lose their protagonist status, and you can directly plunder their abilities and obtain special rewards!]

"So, we can't take action until our luck reaches zero?"

[If interference is forcibly carried out through external force, it can also be considered a form of plunder, but the prerequisite is that the owner must be present to harvest the harvest.]

Hearing this, Ling Yun finally felt relieved. He couldn't bring himself to cower in the shadows. He preferred to use his own advantages to overwhelm his opponent and then seize their abilities as the victor.

Let's consider these chosen ones as the "protagonists," and you, Master, are naturally the biggest villain in this world! But this villainy is only nominal; you can still do righteous deeds and be a seemingly upright gentleman.

"Is there anything in the newbie gift pack? After all, they have special abilities, and I can't just go empty-handed, can I?"

[Upon official unlocking, it already granted its master two special abilities: the ability to search and the ability for a beautiful woman to recognize it as her master.]

The query function, as the name suggests, allows you to query information about the other person, including their luck rating and their level of affection towards you.

[The beauties have chosen their master. Any woman who becomes intimate with you, and whose rating is above 80, will be unable to accept any other man besides you. Even if you abandon them after a fling, they will remain faithful for life. Therefore, for the sake of these beauties' future, please, master, do not be a scumbag.]

"How can you talk like that? I'm a great person with the world in my heart, of course I would never do such scumbag things!"

[Furthermore, rewards will be given when the master and the girl achieve something meaningful, or when hidden achievements are unlocked. Wishing the master a speedy rise to become the master of the world!]

After Xiaona finished speaking, she fell silent, leaving Lingyun alone sitting on the edge of the bed, deep in thought.

It seems the world is far more exciting than I thought. I originally thought that after graduation I would marry a few beautiful women, have children, drive luxury cars and live in mansions, and live an ordinary and mundane life. I never expected there would be such a surprise!

His planet is called Blue Star, and his country is Dragon Country.

Several decades ago, the Dragon Kingdom was embroiled in war, but thanks to a few chosen ones, it managed to repel the invasion of enemy nations and even launch a counter-offensive. Ultimately, it seized a vast share of global economic resources, becoming the dominant power on Earth.

Today, other countries on Earth must learn the language of the Dragon Kingdom, and all take pride in sending their children across the ocean to study in the Dragon Kingdom.

This has led to a situation in China, especially the capital, where people of all nationalities, skin colors, and hair colors can be found, and people are used to it.

The legal system in China is quite strict. Foreigners cannot obtain Chinese citizenship. For men who want to reside in China long-term, the only option is to seek refuge with powerful forces and obtain a temporary residence permit. However, women have another way out: marrying a Chinese man.

Decades after its defeat, that small country harbored resentment and, together with several other hostile small countries, secretly released a special virus into China, causing a sharp decline in the fertility of Chinese women. Although the Chinese government thoroughly purged these countries, the DNA of Chinese women had already been affected, leading to a rapid population decline. Left with no other option, the Chinese government introduced numerous policies to encourage childbirth and even reopened its legal system.

At the same time, in order to ensure the birth rate, in vitro fertilization and artificial insemination have become the choice of most families who want offspring.

To outsiders, it's simply unbelievable that a pure-blooded abandoned baby like Ling Yun from the Dragon Kingdom would be abandoned. After all, abandoning a healthy baby would be a crime if caught.

Do you know you've broken the law?

His identity remains a mystery to this day. Su Qingya named him Lingyun because he wore a jade pendant engraved with the words "Lingyun".

As darkness fell, Ling Yun decided to take a shower and then go out for dinner.

Although Su Qingya doted on him, she didn't give him much pocket money. He only had a few million Chinese Yuan left in his card, which was just enough to buy a small house in the capital.

Just as he was getting ready to take a shower, a phone call came in.

The photo of the caller is of a very pretty girl with a smile on her lips and long blonde hair.

"Qi Jingjing?"

This is a beautiful girl in his major and year, who is considered by many teachers and students to be one of the three most beautiful girls at the university, and is also secretly regarded by some as the girl with the best figure.

Thinking of her outstanding appearance, Ling Yun, who already had some feelings for her, gradually felt his heart heat up and answered the phone.

"Hey, Jingjing, what's up?"
