NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3
Chapter 003:
[Ding! The God-level Blackmail System was successfully activated and automatically bound to the host]
[From now on, whether the host blackmails humans, natives of the underground city, or monsters, appropriate rewards can be obtained. The higher the host’s hatred towards the blackmailing target, and the stronger the target’s strength, the better the rewards will be]
[Ding! The system is activated; please select a target for blackmailing as soon as possible. Reward: determined based on the strength of the extortion target]
Xiao Cheng was stunned for a moment. Then his face lit up with excitement: “System! You finally decided to show up!”
He never expected that after suffering so much in his previous life, he would actually obtain the system on the first day of his rebirth!
If he had such a golden finger in his previous life, why would he endure so much frustration?
Or even humiliation?
Incidents like Liu Yanran repeatedly snatching his boss’s rewards would never have happened!
At this moment, Xiao Cheng immediately changed his previous plan.
Even with future memories and family influence, it would still take him at least ten days to half a month to obtain a Job-change Scroll!
And it wouldn’t be the best either!
How could it compare to the rewards from the blackmailing system?
Moreover, since it was a system, the rewards definitely wouldn’t be ordinary!
But, he had just been reborn, so who should he blackmail?
Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng’s eyes gradually lit up.
Wasn’t there a very good target just now?
Campus Belle Liu Yanran!
In his previous life, she made him lose face in Yunhai City and even snatched his boss’s rewards many times in the dungeon!
If he didn’t thoroughly squeeze her dry, how could he justify her previous actions!
Most importantly… this woman later revealed something to him in the dungeon!
And that thing happened to be the best excuse for him to blackmail her!
In any case, with Liu Yanran’s proud character, it would be almost impossible to extort her.
…
June 12, 2088.
The second day after Xiao Cheng’s rebirth.
3 o’clock in the morning.
In the backyard warehouse of the Yunhai City Mayor’s Mansion.
In the dim light, there was a faint sound of footsteps, neither heavy nor light.
“Very good, it’s just as I expected, no one is guarding here!”
Although there was no one in the warehouse, a hoarse voice sounded strange.
Then, the fingerprint lock next to the central door of the warehouse suddenly lit up for no reason.
Soon, it was verified by fingerprints, the correct password was entered, and the door was easily opened.
There’s the two B-grade equipment and three bottles of potions stored in the secret room inside…
The figure took them!
Finally, the secret room door was gently closed, and the strange footsteps gradually disappeared.
From beginning to end, that strange figure didn’t trigger any of the mechanisms set up in the warehouse.
“Tsk tsk, although I heard this woman boast about it in my previous life, I didn’t expect her to be so daring!”
“She only just passed the Job-testing ceremony yesterday, and today, she dared to steal her parents’ equipment and sneak into the Mayor’s Mansion warehouse to steal things!”
“It’s no wonder she did well in the dungeon in his previous life and even established a large guild with tens of thousands of job-holders!”
After the person who stole the things left.
Xiao Cheng gradually emerged from the darkness of the blind spots in the surveillance.
He was holding a recording stone that could record images and see-through invisibility abilities below B-grade.
So the strange person who just stole things by borrowing invisibility and wall-penetrating abilities sneaked into the Mayor’s Mansion warehouse and stole five precious treasures…
Everything had been recorded by the memory stone.
Once Xiao Cheng showed it to the mayor, her fate could be imagined!
Of course, Xiao Cheng didn’t plan to do that.
The mayor would reward him with one or two C-grade treasures at most, but the recording stone content… would be the chip for blackmailing Liu Yanran for rewards from the system next.
Yes, the person who just stole things was Liu Yanran!
Originally, her plan was flawless, and afterwards, no one could find her. In the end, only two warehouse guards would take the blame.
Unfortunately, even with all her calculations, she didn’t account for Xiao Cheng actually being reborn!
And in his previous life, she actually bragged about this matter to Xiao Cheng!
…
The next day.
Early in the morning, Xiao Cheng drove to Liu Yanran’s house.
In fact, Liu Yanran’s family background was quite good. Both her parents were job holders above level 40, and they were also the leaders of a hundred-member mercenary guild, making them prominent figures in Yunhai City.
Thinking about this, a smirk involuntarily appeared at Xiao Cheng’s mouth, then he pressed the doorbell.
“Who’s there?”
Soon, the door was opened by someone.
Then, a woman in a light purple dress, with a beautiful figure and slender waist, her legs were long and well-proportioned, wearing pale flesh-coloured stockings and crystal slippers on her feet. Her appearance was stunning, with phoenix-like eyes and red lips, somewhat resembling Liu Yanran, with fair and smooth skin, like a young woman who could squeeze out water, appeared in front of Xiao Cheng.
“Who are you?”
Looking at the unfamiliar Xiao Cheng, the woman frowned slightly.
Her temperament appeared elegant and noble, very dignified.
“Sister, I’m a classmate of Liu Yanran. She left something at my place, and I came to return it to her.” Xiao Cheng answered, but his gaze kept sweeping over the woman’s body.
He didn’t expect Liu Yanran to have such a beautiful and tempting sister.
This figure, this appearance, this temperament, simply unmatched.
The naive girl Liu Yanran couldn’t even be compared!
He wondered if her heart was as evil as Liu Yanran’s.
They were all family, so they probably wouldn’t be much different…
“Liu Yanran’s classmate? Then you should call me aunt. I’m Yanran’s mother.” The woman looked disgusted by Xiao Cheng’s impolite gaze. Her eyebrows furrowed deeper, and her tone carried a hint of indifference. “Yanran already went to the dungeon for training yesterday afternoon and isn’t at home now. If you have something to return, just give it to me, and I’ll give it to her when she returns.”
“Yanran went to the dungeon so quickly?”
Xiao Cheng was a little surprised by her words but quickly reacted.
It seemed that the girl used her excuse to go to the dungeon to deceive her parents. She then took advantage of it to obtain the two invisibility and wall-penetrating equipment.
And her plan was indeed perfect.
She entered the underground city yesterday, thereby creating a cover story for herself when the Mayor’s Mansion lost its treasure, right?
