Playing the male antagonist in a melodramatic novel is fine for a bit of fun.

What is this?

Chen Zhou: "Erase your intellect."

Chen Zhou's tone was full of regret, and at the same time, his hand was already tapping the head of the strategy system.

He truly felt it was a pity.

Since this strategy system is to be used as a grand array connecting the ten mountains and rivers in the city where the seeds of spiritual revival have already been planted, the processing efficiency of the array will differ depending on whether the system has intelligence or not.

If the system's intelligence exists as a spirit array, its processing efficiency will be much higher, and it can also design some killer moves to target people who cause fundamental damage to the revival of spiritual energy.

If someone disrupts the spiritual energy revival plan and the spirit cannot get there in time, the spirit can retaliate on its own.

Unfortunately, the strategy system is unwilling to follow its own path.

In that case, we have no choice but to erase her intelligence.

In some ways, Chen Zhou respected her quite a bit.

Those with intelligence don't follow, but those without intelligence can.

The strategy system felt a headache coming on, and then realized that Chen Zhou was able to erase his consciousness while completely preserving his body.

Furthermore, this erasure is somewhat different from the battle just now with the regret system.

At least with the regret system, I can put up a fight, and I'm 100% confident I can self-destruct in the end.

But it was different when facing Chen Zhou. He couldn't resist at all, and even when he tried to self-destruct, Chen Zhou forced him to stop.

"Um... will your decomposition of the aura to enhance my connectivity damage my essence?" the strategy system asked quickly, enduring the pain.

Chen Zhou continued working with his hands while replying, "No, I wouldn't. I couldn't bear to part with that."

The system's materials are unique and there are no substitutes, so not a single bit can be wasted, let alone damage to its essence.

Okay, I agree.

Let it be one roadside path, as long as it doesn't damage the essence, the strategy system thought.

After pausing for a moment, Chen Zhou resumed his movements.

The strategy system immediately panicked.

What are you doing?!

I've already said I'll follow you, why are you still not moving?

As Chen Zhou inscribed his own mark on the strategy system, he replied, "Didn't you notice it didn't hurt?"

【Huh?】

The expression on the villain's face was indeed like that.

What are you doing?

Chen Zhou was in a good mood at the moment and replied, "I will imprint my divine consciousness mark on you."

[A divine consciousness imprint? What is that for?]

"You know about 'recognizing a master,' right?"

"You must acknowledge me as your master!" The little man in the strategy guide widened his eyes, his gaze filled with surprise.

With Chen Zhou being so powerful, if he acknowledges me as his master, the speed at which I can gain fortune will be greatly accelerated!

Chen Zhou: ...

Are you genuinely stupid or just pretending?

This strategy system, which could easily erase her consciousness, actually believes that he is the one who has recognized her as his master?

That's really daring of them.

【Um? 】

Seeing that the strategy system still had some doubts, Chen Zhou realized that he might have picked up an idiot.

That's it.

So what if he's mentally challenged? I'll just make do with him.

"Is it possible that the divine imprint I left is meant to make you acknowledge me as your master?"

Upon hearing this, the strategy system was immediately dumbfounded.

How could things have turned out like this?

Seeing the system's blank expression, Chen Zhou continued, "Does your system rely on luck?"

The little man snapped out of his daze and nodded quickly.

Yes, we strengthen our origin by consuming Qi and Luck.

[Yes, cannibalism is also an option.]

At this moment, Chen Zhou had already imprinted his divine sense mark on the intelligence of the strategy system.

He looked at Zhang Qianqian's corpse, released the strategy system, and said to her, "Then you can consume all the luck on my body."

【Huh?】

"Will you give me some?"

The strategy system was a bit unexpected.

She glanced at Chen Zhou's aura and found that it was very strong, the kind of aura of a protagonist destined for greatness.

Strangely, Chen Zhou's destiny is that of a villain.

I'd love to eat you, but you're destined to be a villain.

Chen Zhou was already preparing to read Zhang Qianqian's memories before her death. After hearing the strategy system's words, he replied, "What does this have to do with the villain's fate?"

In this world, villains are destined to become stepping stones for the protagonists; with a bit of luck, they might survive.

If I consume all your luck, the protagonist will kill you!

Chen Zhou understood; this was exactly the same as in the cultivation world.

Those with great fortune will lose some of their fortune when defeated, but they will not die.

Those without good fortune will only die in this situation.

However, if Chen Zhou dared to disperse all his energy to perform rituals in the cultivation world, why wouldn't he dare to do so in the urban world?

The reason I was thinking about collecting luck was that if I had a good share in this world, it would be much easier to promote the revival of spiritual energy.

But things are different now. I have better methods, and luck can be used to cultivate the strategy system.

Giving luck to the strategy system is a good idea.

"It's alright, you can eat it all. The stronger your essence is, the more useful you will be to me," Chen Zhou said.

【But……】

The strategy system hesitated. She wasn't the kind of system that would simply steal all of her host's luck, because she knew the consequences of losing all luck.

Even if Chen Zhou offered her the food, she couldn't get past her own conscience.

"No buts. It's only natural for the master to feed you. I tell you to eat, so you eat."

Okay... then.

At Chen Zhou's insistence, the strategy system completely devoured Chen Zhou's luck.

She originally wanted to secretly keep some, but Chen Zhou made her eat it all.

This was the first time since the strategy system was created that it had received so much luck, which made her make up her mind.

If the protagonist comes to kill Chen Zhou, I can simply take Chen Zhou and escape from this world!

Chen Zhou, unaware of the intricacies of the strategy system, had already begun to peruse Zhang Qianqian's memories before her death.

"So the Dragon King also has a system."

[Yeah, yeah, that guy has a regret system. I almost exploded at him just now.]

Speaking of this, the strategy system got a little angry.

Now that she has absorbed all of Chen Zhou's luck, she feels much stronger than she was before.

If we fight again, this time the one pinned to the ground will definitely be the Regret System!

Chen Zhou then asked, "Do you have any record of Zhang Qianqian being killed just now?"

Yes, do you want it? I can send it to your phone.

Chen Zhou: "Can you send it directly to the Inspectorate?"

After learning that Ye Wufa also had a system, Chen Zhou didn't want to bother with him for the time being. He planned to wait for Ye Wufa's system to develop further before taking it over and letting the strategy system devour it.

But Chen Zhou didn't want Ye Bufeng to have such an easy life.

Having caused a series of deaths in his own desolate mountain and then wantonly killing people here, Chen Zhou, though not planning to deal with him now, intends to give him a hard time.
