DLJWAV CH1 [Arc 1]
“One, three, three, seven points, Small!”
…
“Two, five, six, thirteen points, Big!”
“Young Master Hai, you lost again!”
“Young Master Hai, your luck is no good!”
In Huangming, the largest clubhouse in Qian City, on the third floor, inside a resplendent gambling hall, over thirty gambling tables of various sizes filled the room. Baccarat, Blackjack, 12 Cards, Sic Bo… slot machines, all the popular gambling games on the market could be found here.
In the southwest corner of the gambling hall sat a dozen young men and women, occupying a gambling table.
“It shouldn’t be like this. My Ben Ming Nian (zodiac year of birth) passed three years ago. Why is my luck still this bad?”
The young man addressed as Young Master Hai looked at the empty chip area in front of him and said.
Despite his words, there wasn’t a hint of complaint or anger in his tone.
He sat lazily on the chair, his black shirt clinging to his body, two buttons undone. His bright, star-like eyes under sword-shaped eyebrows revealed only utter relaxation.
As if the person who had just lost over six million in an instant wasn’t him.
However, the others present weren’t as calm.
“As expected of Young Master Hai. Losing millions without even blinking an eye.”
“Well, he is the only son of the Xiao family. In the future, the Xiao family’s tens of billions in assets will be his. To him, a few million is probably like a few hundred bucks.”
“This is what they mean by same people, different fates.”
“Tch, our Young Master Hai certainly knew how to be reincarnated well. But with such a huge treasury handed to him, do you think he can keep it?”
“Him? How is that possible!”
“Besides, although he is the only son of the Xiao family, don’t forget he has an adopted brother, Xiao Ruicheng, who has almost pocketed nearly half of the Xiao Corporation. You don’t really think Xiao Ruicheng is as honest as he appears and has no designs on the Xiao family’s sixty or seventy billion in assets, do you?”
“Pfft, unless Xiao Ruicheng is a saint reincarnated, the kind who can produce sarira relics just by burning a strand of hair.”
“Poor Old Master and Madam Xiao. The two supported each other and worked hard all their lives, finally managing to barely suppress their arch-rival, the Lin family. But when it came to the next generation, they lost completely.”
“Exactly. The Lin family produced Qian City’s First Young Master, Lin Gaolang. At a young age, he firmly sat in the position of Vice President of the Lin Corporation, leading the Lin Corporation to expand its territory. Meanwhile, the Xiao family produced Qian City’s First Hedonist. Who knows if he can even preserve the family assets in the future.”
“Tsk!”
…
That Young Master Hai, who was Xiao Ruize, naturally heard these words, but he didn’t take them to heart at all.
Until a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
【Ding, qualified soul captured…】
Xiao Ruize narrowed his eyes.
The next second, his sea of consciousness, which had been like stagnant water, suddenly trembled violently. Divine power burst forth, instantly imprisoning the thing that had burrowed into his sea of consciousness a second ago.
Fortunately, after that thing burrowed into his sea of consciousness, it made no further moves.
But immediately following that, a flood of long-sealed memories surged into his brain.
He was Xiao Ruize, the only son of the Xiao family, a top-tier wealthy family in Qian City, Hua Country.
He was also Ao Ruize, the newly ascended Dragon Lord of the Human Realm in the Three Realms, in charge of the Four Seas.
The reason he became Xiao Ruize was that before ascending to the position of Dragon Lord, he had worked overtime for tens of thousands of years to quell floods in all directions.
So, after the floods subsided, he decisively abandoned the remaining unimportant official duties and arranged a vacation for himself.
And the vacation spot he chose was these small worlds below.
However, to avoid unnecessary trouble, the Heavenly Palace had a rule: any deity going to a small world for vacation must first seal their memories.
So, if that thing hadn’t suddenly burrowed into his sea of consciousness, causing him to instinctively mobilize his power for defense, he wouldn’t have suddenly awakened these memories.
Just then, that thing spoke again.
【Do you want to step on all those who mocked you? Do you want to become an existence everyone looks up to? Do you want to become the richest person in the world? I, the King’s Hegemony System, can grant all your wishes!】
Seeing the watermelon-sized milk dumpling in his sea of consciousness opening its two round eyes and trying hard to pronounce every syllable accurately with a serious tone, Ao Ruize raised an eyebrow and suddenly dismissed the idea of crushing it directly.
But, King’s Hegemony System?
Those old fogies in the Underworld naturally wouldn’t give their systems such chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) names.
After all, even when they assigned numerical codes to their systems, they specifically excluded numbers like 419, 520, and 521 because they felt they weren’t serious enough.
—The systems under the Underworld were collectively called Agent Revenge Systems.
Their existence was to help those who died innocently due to their fates being tampered with to take revenge.
Because among the three thousand great worlds, there were always places the Underworld couldn’t supervise. These places were prone to breeding demons and monsters that disrupted the world order, such as transmigrators, reborn individuals… and wild systems.
And the system before him was obviously a wild system.
But weren’t wild systems in rumors all heinous and evil, using any means necessary to plunder the luck of small worlds?
This milk dumpling in front of him, so fat its ears were almost invisible, didn’t seem to have anything to do with the words “heinous and evil” no matter how he looked at it.
Ao Ruize politely feigned a hint of excitement: “System?”
“Isn’t that the essential golden finger (cheat) for many novel protagonists?”
The milk dumpling was very satisfied with Ao Ruize’s reaction: “That’s right.”
“But unfortunately, you are not the protagonist of this world.”
It kept a straight face: “Did you know, you are about to die—”
Ao Ruize: “…”
He really didn’t know that.
If he remembered correctly, the identity he chose should have allowed him to enjoy wealth and glory for a lifetime.
Almost at the same time, the milk dumpling’s voice rang out again: “Because Le Zhan has been reborn.”
Le Zhan?
Ao Ruize frowned.
He actually knew this person.
His parents in this life were already over forty when they had him.
Before that, they had been married for over twenty years but hadn’t been able to conceive.
Later, they gave up and went to an orphanage to adopt a child, who was Ao Ruize’s adopted brother, Xiao Ruicheng.
Out of kindness and gratitude, the Xiao family was still the largest donor to that orphanage.
And Le Zhan had stayed in that orphanage for a few years.
One year, Le Zhan got leukemia and stayed in the intensive care unit for nearly half a month. The Xiao family covered all the treatment costs during that period.
However, the Xiao family had helped many people. The reason Ao Ruize remembered him was that a few years later, Le Zhan was found by his biological father.
His biological father was the head of the Le family.
Not long after Le Zhan returned to the Le family, he got engaged to the heir of the Lin family, the Qian City’s First Young Master mentioned by others, Lin Gaolang.
However, the Le family could barely be considered a wealthy family, far inferior to the Lin family.
After all, the Lin family, like the Xiao family, was a top-tier wealthy family in Qian City. Qian City was one of the new first-tier cities in Hua Country, so the Lin family ranked high even in the entire Hua Country.
Therefore, Le Zhan was absolutely unworthy of Lin Gaolang, not to mention he was a man.
But Le Zhan’s mother had died saving Old Master Lin, and the two families had once set up an engagement.
If Ao Ruize remembered correctly, just half a month ago, Le Zhan had broken off his engagement with Lin Gaolang, for reasons unknown.
Milk Dumpling: “…That’s because Le Zhan felt Lin Gaolang was too cold to him. He couldn’t stand it anymore and got involved with Lin Gaolang’s illegitimate younger brother, Lin Ming.”
“But Lin Ming seduced him only to humiliate Lin Gaolang and incidentally swallow the Le family through Le Zhan.”
“Although Lin Gaolang helped the Le family at the last moment and even caught evidence of Lin Ming murdering Le Zhan’s father, Le Zhan was killed by Lin Ming, who jumped over the wall in desperation (acted recklessly when cornered).”
“Le Zhan regretted it. The first thing he did after being reborn was to dump Lin Ming and win back Lin Gaolang.”
“And to help Lin Gaolang secure his position as the heir of the Lin family, the first thing he did was use his memories from his past life. Through coercion and bribery of Xiao Corporation’s researchers, he stole the lithium battery recycling technology that the Xiao Corporation spent five years and five billion to develop, and gave it to Lin Gaolang.”
“In my deduction, barring any accidents, under Lin Gaolang’s operation, the Xiao Corporation will soon fall into a debt crisis. Lin Gaolang also bribed the banks to cut off all loans to the Xiao Corporation. Other families will swarm in, and before long, the Xiao Corporation will go bankrupt.”
“Your parents couldn’t bear such a blow and soon passed away one after another.”
“You tried to drive a car to kill Lin Gaolang and Le Zhan to avenge your parents, but due to brake failure, just as you drove out of your house, you crashed into a tanker truck. You were crushed into a pile of mud on the spot, and later the tanker truck caught fire, burning you, your corpse, and the car completely clean, not even leaving a bone.”
The milk dumpling got angrier as it spoke, to the point where its whole body turned red.
“…Troublesome.”
Ao Ruize said.
He just came down for a vacation, wanting to relax properly. How could he encounter such trouble?
“But solving this matter doesn’t seem difficult.”
Ao Ruize thought for a moment: “Since we already know all this, we can strike first. For example, bribe a few desperadoes and just drive a car to kill Le Zhan and Lin Gaolang directly.”
“It’s just a matter of spending a few hundred thousand or a million.”
After all, the money he just lost was enough to kill Le Zhan and Lin Gaolang ten or eight times over.
Milk Dumpling: “…”
Rich people are awesome!
And so cruel and decisive?
If it remembered correctly, it should be the legendary heinous and evil wild system, right?!!!
