"Lu Gucheng, how dare you yell at me?! Your Lu family is ganging up on me, an outsider! I don't want to live anymore!"
The uncle stared intently at her jiggling, fat face.
"In that case, let's do as Mingfei says and go to the bank tomorrow to print out the bank card statement!"
Auntie was stunned by Uncle's words. She raised her fat face, which was devoid of tears, and her lips trembled.
She knew the consequences of doing so.
Once the incident escalated and Lu Mingfei's parents found out,
After losing the money sent by Lu Mingfei's parents, his family will fall from heaven to hell.
BMWs, mahjong sets, luxury goods—they will all disappear.
Her gaze fell on Lu Mingze, who was staring blankly.
"Mingze, go buy some soy sauce for Mom today!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingze suddenly jumped up from the sofa, his movement so fast that he knocked over the cushions.
He didn't dare look at his mother on the ground or his father standing stiffly, and he didn't dare look at his "useless" cousin in the house whose personality had changed drastically.
That seemingly consultative "Go buy some soy sauce."
For him, this was tantamount to a pardon.
He ran frantically toward the door, wanting only to escape this abyss temporarily.
As for what happens next, he has no say in it and doesn't want to.
He didn't ask his parents for money because his mother gave him plenty of pocket money, more than enough to buy a bottle of soy sauce.
"Bang!" The door slammed against the door frame with a loud thud.
Lu Mingze rushed out of the house, and his heavy, chaotic footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Lu Mingfei lowered his right hand and glanced at his uncle and aunt.
He knew that there was no longer a place for him in this "home".
He needs to take advantage of the National Day holiday to rent a room.
He didn't say anything more, but turned around and went into his and Lu Mingze's room, closing the door behind him.
Click!
The crisp sound of the door lock clicking shut separated the two worlds.
I could hear my aunt muttering curses outside the door.
Lu Mingfei clenched his fist in the darkness, took a deep breath, and then slowly released it.
He turned on the overhead light, and the dim yellow light spread out.
He plopped down on the bed and covered his face with his hands.
He felt like he had just gone completely mad.
[Congratulations, Mr. Lu Mingfei! You've taken a crucial step towards becoming a villain!]
You have the courage to rebel!
[Main Quest 1: Resist Aunt's Injustice and Tyranny (Method not limited) - Completed]
[Task Reward: 10 point has been credited to your account and can be used in the system shop]
[In recognition of your excellent performance, you are awarded an extra 5 points.]
A series of gentle prompts from the system rang in his mind.
"He brought it on himself!" he scoffed.
I don't know if I'm laughing at myself or at the uncles and aunts outside.
Chapter 4: Ten Elements of a Villain
After a brief moment of calm, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.
Although I was determined to move out.
But a cruel reality hit them right in the face.
He has no money!
As the saying goes, even a clever housewife can't cook without rice, but with rice, she can still make a living.
But now he's a complete loser with no money at all.
What to do now?
A sense of despair crept into my heart.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into his mind!
That's right! System!
Didn't we get reward points for completing the previous tasks?
And that system shop!
The flame of hope was ignited instantly.
He immediately activated the system.
A semi-transparent light screen instantly appeared half a meter in front of me.
My eyes quickly scanned the interface and finally found the system menu in the lower right corner.
Opening the menu revealed only three modules: System Tasks, System Rewards and Penalties, and System Shop.
Tap the [System Shop] button.
Swish! The previously semi-transparent interface instantly turned pitch black, and lines of white text appeared accompanied by a cold, mechanical sound:
Ten Elements of a Villain
To be a qualified villain, one must have the courage to resist.
To be a qualified villain, one needs to be extremely knowledgeable.
To be a qualified villain, one needs to have a body that can fight and withstand attacks.

A qualified villain needs to have their own organization.
[Mr. Lu Mingfei, if you want to become a qualified villain, please remember the above conditions!]
[Loading the system store now, please wait...]
Lu Mingfei looked at these "Ten Elements of a Villain" and his heart stirred slightly:
The first three are: "courage", "knowledge", and "body".
Doesn't this correspond to the main quest he's currently experiencing?
Could the next seven be part of the upcoming main storyline?
As his thoughts raced, the store interface finished loading.
The interface has reverted to a semi-transparent state.
Lu Mingfei took a closer look and found that the shop layout was simple and clear, with only three categories: [Equipment], [Items], and [Cultivation Techniques].
He casually clicked on [Equipment] and found that it was further divided into several categories:
[Weapons], [Armor], [Accessories], [Vehicles], [Special Equipment].
"There are quite a few kinds," he muttered to himself.
Driven by curiosity, he clicked on the [Weapons] tab.
The next moment, a dazzling array of weapon blueprints, shimmering with various colors, instantly filled his field of vision. The intense visual impact made him gasp for breath, and his eyes lit up uncontrollably.
"Qingping Sword, Sun-Shooting Bow, Purple-Gold Hammer, Golden Dragon Scissors, Dragon-Slaying Blade... My God!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed inwardly. These were all legendary divine weapons from myths and legends!
He has read "Journey to the West" and "Investiture of the Gods" countless times.
However, when one's gaze inadvertently sweeps over the required points displayed below the weapon icon...
The passion that had just been ignited was instantly extinguished, leaving me heartbroken!
The astronomical numbers that follow are probably impossible to accumulate even if you do daily tasks for ten thousand years!
That Dragon Slayer Sword in the corner, costing only 1000 points, is already the "cheapest" top-tier artifact we've seen so far.
His fingers trembled as he slid down.
Undeterred, he continued refreshing the weapons page.
Ten minutes passed, and the weapon page seemed endless, with the scroll bar shrinking to a thin slit.
Many of the weapons were names he had never heard of, and the cheapest weapons started at 100 points.
"It seems that what the system said might actually be true. I am the worst batch of villains he has ever managed." Lu Mingfei sighed.
After all, the fact that the system shop has these things shows what level of characters the system brother has cultivated in the past.
"Sigh—!" With endless reluctance and a deep sense of powerlessness, he helplessly returned to the upper interface.
No matter how good these things are, they are still castles in the air that he doesn't even dare to dream of right now.
Distant water cannot quench a nearby fire.
What he urgently needs right now is real money to rent a house!
