Chapter 186 [Chen Yan's Revenge Methods] (6000 words)
Chapter 180 [Chen Yan's Revenge Methods] (6000 words)
Ye Wei, 20 years old.

Lu Sisi's sophomore classmate.

only son.

My father is a businessman who runs an information technology company, while my mother is a civil servant in the education system, but she is only a mid-level manager.

Ye Wei's father's IT company lacked core technology or unique expertise. It relied on the connections and networks left by Ye Wei's maternal grandfather, who held a high-ranking position before retirement. The company primarily handled government-funded projects.

This includes things like building official information databases.

These kinds of projects are never about technological level or core technology.

It's all about connections and background.

Ye Wei's family was neither rich nor poor; they had tens of millions in assets and some connections, though not particularly powerful.

But it loses its strength as it goes higher.

Such a family already surpasses 99% of ordinary families in China.

Ye Wei has always lived a very comfortable life since childhood, never worrying about money or making a living.

I never lacked toys growing up, and I attended good kindergartens, good primary schools, and good middle schools.

From childhood to adulthood, he was playful and averse to studying. He was spoiled at home and would occasionally cause minor trouble, such as bullying a classmate. His family would always help him sort things out and teach him a lesson afterward, but they would never really hurt him, and he himself didn't take it seriously.

Although I wasn't very capable and couldn't get into a top-tier university, I still managed to get into a second-tier one. Most importantly, I chose a local school in Jinling Prefecture so I could stay and develop my career there, and my family could take care of me.

He wasn't short of girlfriends; he had one in high school, but they broke up after the college entrance exam.

I had a boyfriend in my freshman year of college, but we broke up after a few months.

It's not fair to call it starting something and then abandoning it, but it's fair to describe someone as fickle.

This person is extreme, stingy, possessive, and somewhat cunning and scheming.

He was inherently bad, but he hadn't done anything truly evil... It wasn't that he wasn't bad enough, but rather that he lacked the capacity to do anything truly evil.

Lu Sisi was a girl he encountered who made him feel embarrassed.

From a young age, Ye Wei had a sense of superiority.

My maternal grandfather was a government official, my mother was also a minor official, and my father owned a company...

His sense of superiority stemmed from a time in kindergarten when he pushed a classmate down and cut his hand. Afterwards, his mother severely reprimanded the kindergarten teacher at school... Young Ye Wei was left with a vague impression: I was more valuable than others.

Ye Wei wasn't the kind of guy who was completely brainless; he was somewhat cunning and had a slightly sinister nature.

He knows how to bully the weak and fear the strong, how to create a persona, and how to set traps to leave others speechless and bitter.

What embarrassed Lu Sisi was that he felt that someone as outstanding as him was pursuing her, and she actually refused?!
I watched those PUA tutorials online, they said you're withdrawn, they said you have problems, and then they'd come to save you.

You actually won't accept it?

What gives you the right?!
More importantly, he had already made it clear to his classmates that he liked Lu Sisi and that he was sure he could win her over.

It turned out they couldn't get it right.

Where can I put my face?
Then I'm going to teach you a lesson! Let you know what I mean!
·
Actually, Ye Wei had felt uneasy after finishing the task.

It wasn't some pang of conscience that made him uneasy, but rather the fact that he had learned that Lu Sisi actually had a Hong Kong businessman father, and that her family wasn't the humble, uneducated household he had imagined; they must have some assets.

These are not families you can bully at will—they are just local bullies with a little bit of background and connections, far from being able to control everything.

He was worried about retaliation from Lu Sisi's family and regretted that he had acted rashly without properly investigating Lu Sisi's family background.

After all, he was just a twenty-year-old young man, though he was somewhat cunning and treacherous.

But that's just personality.

It's not about ability.

He had the insidious intention to set a trap, but he lacked the ability to make things look better or to handle things thoroughly.

The most important quality of a so-called "great villain" is never "evil," but rather the ability to commit heinous acts.

Fortunately, when it was discovered that Lu Sisi's parents did not pursue the matter or retaliate, they simply swallowed the matter and even arranged for Lu Sisi to take a leave of absence from school afterwards...

Ye Wei suddenly became ambitious.

I bullied you, and you didn't dare fight back! That just proves I'm awesome!

I am superior, that's all.

The only regret is that he ultimately failed to win over Lu Sisi, that pretty girl.

But it doesn't matter, there are plenty of beautiful girls on campus. With his superior family background, he won't lack for women.

His anxiety lasted only two days before it vanished.

I'm young, my family is wealthy, and I have some power... My future and life are waiting for me to enjoy.

·
That afternoon, Ye Wei was reading in the library.

Of course, it wasn't about studying hard—he knew very well that this second-rate university was just a means to get a diploma, and his future path was to take the civil service exam.

In the library, just these past two days, I've spotted another cute, baby-faced girl from my school.

He approached the girl by portraying himself as a senior student from a well-off family with considerable financial resources, and a gentle and considerate personality, and accompanied her to study in the library.

But he was actually a little unhappy—because this girl didn't seem very interested in him.

It seems that Lu Sisi's incident has also had a negative impact on his "persona".

Rumors circulated at the school that he had extorted money from Lu Sisi.

This baby-faced girl seemed to keep her distance from me.

Let's wait another day; if it doesn't work, then forget it.

Of course, if given the chance, he would also let this baby-faced girl know the consequences of not knowing what's good for her—if he had the chance.

He sat in the library, listlessly looking at his phone—he was actually reading a book.

It's just that I was reading online novels.

Ye Wei enjoys reading online novels, especially those where the protagonist is ruthless (inhuman), cold-hearted (unethical), and also a brainless, overpowered protagonist.

Of course, it would be best if it also included a harem.

As he looked at it, he felt a wave of fatigue wash over him, and then he became drowsy and unconsciously slumped onto the table, falling asleep.

Unbeknownst to him, hidden inside his hoodie hood, a yellow "dream-entering talisman" silently transformed into a wisp of green smoke...

·
In dream...

"Ding!"

"System bound to host, Post-Apocalyptic Survival System activated!"

"Host binding complete, physical enhancement 100%!"

The synthesized voice made Ye Wei's eyes widen suddenly; he saw himself in his dream...

Before him stood a humanoid silhouette shrouded in thick white mist.

"Holy shit!" Ye Wei couldn't help but swear.

system? !
I... I've got a system?!

Ye Wei strained his eyes to look around, and then realized one thing... Was he dreaming?

The surroundings were shrouded in smoke, obscuring everything around, with only a humanoid silhouette in front of him.

"You are...the system?"

"What system are you?"

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

Ye Wei asked several questions in a row, feeling his blood rushing and his body trembling.

Excited! !

system? !
That's not... me, the chosen one?!

"This system is a post-apocalyptic survival system! It is designed to save the host from surviving the impending apocalyptic catastrophe and gradually become the master of the world..."

The humanoid silhouette in front of me stood in the mist, speaking coldly in a voice that was still that electronic synthesized tone.

"Wait! What do you mean, a post-apocalyptic survival system? You mean the apocalypse?!"

"The answer to the host's question is as follows: In one month, the world in which the host resides will face the apocalyptic catastrophe. The first phase will be characterized by abnormally high temperatures, with the average temperature reaching over 60 degrees Celsius. The first phase will last for one year."

The second phase is characterized by abnormally low temperatures, with average temperatures reaching below -60 degrees Celsius. This second phase will last for one year.

The third stage involves a meteorite or asteroid impact, which will trigger plate rupture, plate movement, tsunamis, and the resulting dust and smoke from the explosion will obscure the atmosphere, plunging the world into an ice age and causing the extinction of vegetation…

Ye Wei's heart pounded wildly!

A sudden, immense fear welled up within me.

"Apocalyptic catastrophe? The end of the world?! Holy crap!! Is this for real? You're kidding me, right?! Holy crap! I'm perfectly fine! How come the end of the world is coming?!"

In the dream, the system still answered in a cold voice: "One month until the apocalypse. Please prepare for the apocalypse in advance, including abundant supplies, energy, and weapons..."

Ye Wei was rendered silent.

After an unknown period of silence, he suddenly asked excitedly, "Then, what benefits can this system bring me?! You're the system, and I'm the host! You have to give me something in return, right? Otherwise, how am I supposed to survive this so-called apocalyptic tribulation?!"

"The first benefit is that the host's physique has been enhanced by 100%, which the host can verify himself."

The second benefit is that the host must stockpile sufficient supplies before the apocalyptic catastrophe arrives! Once the supplies reach the system's required level, the system will provide the host with a highly intelligent and secure shelter!

The third benefit is that, to facilitate the host's resource storage, the system provides the host with a storage device that can hold an unlimited amount of various resources stored by the host!

Ye Wei: "…………"

"System notification: Once the natural disaster begins, the existing human civilization structure will completely collapse, and more than 90% of the current human population will perish in the first phase of the disaster. Please prepare for the disaster to the greatest extent possible within the one-month preparation period!"

Ye Wei: "…………"

"System notification: The Cataclysmic Apocalypse is a top secret of the system. The host must not disclose the existence of the system and the Cataclysm to anyone. Once disclosed, the host will be directly eliminated!"

System notification: "Once the host successfully survives the first stage of the natural disaster, the Awakening Ability Mode will be activated..."

Ye Wei: "…………"
"what!!"

A gasp broke the silence in the library.

In the library, Ye Wei, who was lying on the table, suddenly woke up!

He was covered in sweat, panting heavily, his eyes filled with intense anxiety and excitement.

Seeing the questioning and displeased looks coming from those around him, Ye Wei couldn't care less about them anymore.

He swallowed hard.

Fake, fake, right?
It was probably just a dream, right?
Suddenly, his expression froze!
Suddenly, a new one appeared in his palm...

Jade pendant!!
Ye Wei stared intently at the jade pendant in his hand.

He came from a well-off family and could tell at a glance that the jade pendant was of exceptional quality and definitely not a cheap item.

"Storage... storage equipment?"

Ye Wei swallowed hard, and then...

He held a pen beside him, pinched the jade pendant, and said softly, "How do I put it in, put it in... Holy crap?!"

The pen in my hand suddenly disappeared!
Then, after he softly called out "Take it out," the pen was back in his hand!
Ye Wei's eyes lit up!
"Storage equipment! It really is storage equipment?!"

The system, the system is real!

I really have a system?!
He suddenly jumped up from his chair, and amidst the disapproving stares of those around him, Ye Wei grabbed his backpack and ran out of the library in a disheveled state.

After stepping outside, Ye Wei looked at the more than ten steps in front of him...

"Physical fitness improved by 100%?"

Ye Wei looked around to make sure no one was there, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and jumped down!
rub!
He leaped lightly into the air and landed steadily on the ground!

Ye Wei's breath caught in his throat. He stared wide-eyed at himself, then looked around.

You think jumping down more than ten steps is child's play?!

Unbeknownst to him, inside his hat, a Lightness Amulet had also turned into wisps of smoke.

Ye Wei felt so excited that his legs were shaking. His expression changed from excitement to elation, and then to ferocity.

Standing there, his expression changed several times before he suddenly turned around and ran quickly towards one end of the road.

Just after he left, Chen Yan slowly walked out from behind a pillar outside the library.

"Stupid."

·
Ye Wei ran straight to the school's gym.

He tried aerobic running!

However, thanks to the Lightness Talisman, he seemed to exert himself effortlessly at his usual pace!
Then he tried the equipment!

Press, bench press, deadlift...

After he tried it once...

Ye Wei was already blushing with excitement!
He was a somewhat sinister guy, and right under everyone's noses, all his stats were significantly higher than when he used to exercise!

What he didn't know was that after he left the gym...

Chen Yan shook his head: "I wasted one of my [Great Strength Talismans]."

·
Ye Wei picked up the phone and dialed his father.

When the call connected, my father seemed busy with some work, and his tone was somewhat impatient: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Dad! I have something very important to tell you. Please calm down and listen patiently! This matter is extremely important! And you must trust me!!"

I'm telling you, one month from now..."

Ye Wei was about to continue speaking when suddenly...

"Ding!"

"System Warning: The host has leaked system secrets. This is a warning penalty for the host! If there is any further leakage, the host will be eliminated!"

The synthesized electronic sound seemed to act directly into Ye Wei's ears!
Upon hearing this sound, Ye Wei felt his entire body stiffen, as if he had suddenly lost all his strength, his whole body became numb, and even his tongue stiffened, making it impossible for him to utter a single word.

"Hello? Hello?? Xiao Ye? What do you want to say?" Ye's father asked anxiously on the other end of the phone.

Two seconds later, Ye Wei let out a long breath. The numbness in his body had disappeared, but his heart was pounding wildly, filled with fear and awe. He looked around, swallowed hard, and gritted his teeth as he quickly said into the phone, "Ah! Dad, it's okay, it's okay! I made a mistake just now, I'll hang up now!! I'm really okay!"

After saying that, he hurriedly hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and ran towards the school gate.

After hailing a taxi, Ye Wei got in. His restlessness subsided slightly, and he began to think.

Doomsday!

system!

Find out a month in advance!

Damn it...

I’ve seen this episode!

Ye Wei felt both excited and thrilled.

Damn it... I've read so many online novels, especially post-apocalyptic ones, haven't I read enough?!

Isn't this just a classic post-apocalyptic hoarding scenario?!
Stock up! Stock up now!!
Wait a minute! Let me think about it. In those post-apocalyptic hoarding novels, how do the protagonists actually do it...?

Stockpile goods! Stock up on supplies! And, some precautions to take when stockpiling...

Haha! I even have a storage device!!

·
Ye Wei took a car back home!
As a native of Jinling Prefecture, Ye Wei's family was well-off, and their residence was located in an upscale residential area.

Although it's not a top-tier luxury apartment, this well-furnished, four-bedroom, two-living-room apartment is still considered a luxury home.

It was broad daylight when Ye Wei returned home, but his parents weren't there. He ran straight into his parents' room and rummaged through everything. Finally, he found a bank card in his mother's drawer.

This card was saved in his name by his parents. It contained the New Year's money Ye Wei had received since he was a child, and there should be nearly 200,000 yuan in it.

His parents hadn't told him to use the money before, saying they would give it to him after he graduated.

The card has always been kept by my parents, and online banking has not been activated.

In addition, Ye Wei usually has about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan in his bank account.

Ye Wei took the bank card and went out.

Chen Yan followed this guy for a whole day, and he watched as the guy went to the bank and transferred 200,000 yuan out of his card.

Then this guy went to the suburbs, rented a warehouse, and paid three months' rent...

Then, Chen Yan watched this guy run to the food wholesale market.

When Chen Yan saw that Ye Wei had ordered ten tons of rice and ten tons of flour from several grain and oil stores, he stood behind the wall outside the store and almost couldn't stand up straight from laughing.

"Not enough! Ten tons is not enough..." Ye Wei shook his head helplessly after walking out of the store.

He also needs to buy meat, eggs, cooking oil... and all sorts of food... and warm clothing...

Oh, and water too!!
There's also a generator...and fuel...

Not enough money! Far from enough!!
Damn it, you don't know until you stock up! Things like grains and oils can't be bought in bulk!

The authorities do not allow it. If the purchase quantity exceeds a certain amount, relevant proof must be provided. Otherwise, grain and oil shops will not sell to you, and the same applies to meat!
However, this problem can be solved to some extent; just buy it from a few different stores...

But money... money...

Ye Wei stood by the roadside for a moment, pondering, and finally gritted his teeth with a ferocious expression!

That evening, Ye Wei went home.

My father was away at a business dinner that evening; only my mother was home.

The mother wasn't surprised that her son, who was in college, would come home to stay at night—he was a local from Jinling Prefecture, and Ye Wei often came home to stay because he couldn't get used to the simple conditions of the school dormitory.

That evening, while his mother was taking a shower in the bathroom, Ye Wei secretly took her phone.

The secret to his mother's wealth was easy to guess; Ye Wei already knew it.

It was easy for him to transfer 200,000 yuan to himself using his mother's wealth management product. At the same time, he deleted the verification text messages and transfer records, and even cleared the bills.

I wanted to transfer more, but my mother's bank account had a daily limit of 200,000 yuan.

System regulations prohibit the disclosure of confidential information.

Dad! Mom! You'll thank me in a month!!
·
For the next few days, Ye Wei spent his days purchasing supplies and then going to the suburban warehouse to wait for deliveries.

After the goods were delivered, he went to the warehouse and "packed" all the supplies into the jade pendant storage device!

Ye Wei was still not entirely reassured, so he tried taking it out and putting it back in several times, but each time it went smoothly!

This made Ye Wei absolutely certain about the "system" and the "apocalypse"!
Furthermore, with Chen Yan secretly placing a "Lightness Talisman" and a "Strength Talisman" on him every day, Ye Wei became even more convinced that his physique had been strengthened by 100%!
This guy is the chosen one!
Isn't this just like a post-apocalyptic protagonist?!
Every night, Ye Wei would go home and steal his mother's phone to transfer money to himself whenever he had a spare moment.

He was already very skilled at transferring money and deleting verification SMS messages.

In just a few days, over a million yuan has been transferred out!
He had a reason for staring at his mother's phone—she was in charge of the family's savings.

But a few days later, after transferring millions of yuan from his mother's phone in multiple transactions, Ye Wei was unable to steal any more money.

Because her mother's account was only linked to one bank card, and she had almost emptied the money in that card herself.

Even though I knew there was still money at home...

But there are also things like wealth management and funds, which are beyond his reach.

"Not enough! Still not enough!! The apocalypse is coming! The more supplies we have now, the better!"
There's no limit to how much there can be!

After Ye Wei put the two diesel generators that had just been delivered into the jade pendant storage device in the suburban warehouse, he stared at the empty warehouse walls with red eyes, gritting his teeth and making a fierce gesture.

at last……

"Oh right! I can also take out online loans!!!"

Anyway, the apocalypse is less than a month away! By then it'll be the end of the world, who'll come looking for me to pay back my money?! Ha!!
