Chapter 1 1: Oh No, the Ultimate Villain Is My Dad!
Imperial Capital.
A luxuriously decorated carriage was driving on the street, with ten guards on each side escorting it. It looked very impressive from a distance.
A nobleman in gorgeous clothes sat in the carriage. He opened the curtain at the window and looked at the passers-by outside with dull eyes.
To be precise, the nobleman was looking at the luck floating above the heads of every passer-by.
From the nobleman's perspective, there was a middle-aged man selling candied haws not far away. The luck floating above his head was [5]. It seemed that he would have good business today.
Across the street was a young girl in a long skirt. The luck floating above her head was [7]. It seemed that she would marry a good family in the future.
In the alley ahead was a dishevelled beggar squatting. The luck floating above his head was [0]... You deserve to be a beggar. Is there any other unlucky person in the world whose luck is lower than yours?
The nobleman Li Xu shook his head and sighed for the beggar, then took out a bronze mirror and looked at himself.
In the mirror, he saw the luck floating above his head was [-4].
"That's right."
"The unlucky ghost with lower luck than the beggar is me."
Li Xu gave the mirror a pale and weak smile, and his whole body was very weak, and it seemed that he would die at any time.
In fact, Li Xu had died once three days ago, but his father rescued him from the gates of hell and awakened his memories of his past life.
As soon as his memories of his past life were awakened, Li Xu was stunned.
The world he lived in in this life was actually a stand-alone game called "Tianxuan Continent" on Earth in his previous life!
If he had just traveled into the game world, Li Xu would not be so confused. What really shocked him was his current identity.
"Tianxuan Continent" is a multi-protagonist and multi-female protagonist game. Players can do whatever they want in the game, with a high degree of freedom. However, there is a core plot line, which is to defeat the powerful prime minister Li Chunfeng.
Li Chunfeng is not only the prime minister of the current court, but also the ultimate villain in "Tianxuan Continent". He is powerful in the game and brings chaos to the people. In order to eliminate all the sects that are hostile to him, he does not hesitate to start a war that sweeps the world, brewing a tragedy that has caused countless lives to be destroyed. Players can only pass the game by defeating the forces under Li Chunfeng.
And Li Xu's identity in this life is Li Chunfeng's only son.
"It's bad, the ultimate villain is my father!"
Three days ago, Li Xu narrowly escaped death, and he couldn't accept his awakened past life memory at the first time.
Because according to the development of the game plot in his memory, he will be the first supporting role in Li Chunfeng's camp to be killed by the protagonist of the plot, and it is a horrible death that makes people cut into pieces!
…
“When I awakened my past life memories, I also gained an ability to see other people’s luck values.”
“But what good is this ability? Every person—even a dog on the side of the road—has better luck than me!”
On the carriage, Li Xu suddenly saw a dog with a [1] luck on its head in the distance, and immediately felt a strong sense of humiliation that he was not even as good as a dog.
Three days had passed since he gained the ability to spy on other people’s luck. During these three days, Li Xu had never seen anyone with a lower luck than his [-4]. Even the peddlers at the bottom of society had at least 1 or 2 points of luck.
It was precisely because of his negative luck that Li Xu was extremely weak and sick since he was a child, unable to embark on the path of cultivation. He had a serious illness every three days and a major disaster every five days. It was only thanks to his prime minister father who gave him a large amount of natural treasures that he was able to barely hang on to his life and survive to this day.
"If I can't change my negative luck to a positive one, with my weak physique, even if the protagonist of the plot doesn't attack me, I'm afraid I won't live for a few days, and I might die suddenly at any time."
While flipping through the memories of his previous life, Li Xu sighed softly, picked up a cup of soup made from a thousand-year-old ginseng next to him, and took a sip.
This cup of thousand-year-old ginseng soup is worth at least a hundred gold in the market outside, and is regarded as a tonic by countless cultivators, but when it falls into Li Xu's stomach, it only increases his vitality by two points.
"Second Master, we are back to the Xiangguo Mansion."
The voice of the housekeeper Sun Bo came from outside the carriage.
Li Xu put down the ginseng soup, rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers, and said in a lazy tone with impatience: "Sun Bo, tell me, why did the old man suddenly ask me to go back to the mansion?"
Sun Bo said: "I guess the old slave guessed it. I guess the master must have his own reasons."
Li Xu: "..."
Isn't this nonsense?
What a great saying, "I listen to your words as if they were mine."
After complaining in his heart, Li Xu got off the carriage and strode into the Xiangguo Mansion, followed by Sun Bo and a group of guards.
It is worth mentioning that half an incense stick ago, Li Xu was listening to music and watching dance in the brothel, and was suddenly summoned back to the Xiangguo Mansion by Sun Bo sent by Li Chunfeng.
The relationship between Li Xu and his father Li Chunfeng was not harmonious.
The reason is simple. What kind of a great minister is Li Chunfeng? He has great power and influence in the court. There is even a saying among the people that the prime minister will not issue orders without his approval. However, his only son is a weak and sickly waste who cannot practice. This makes Li Chunfeng extremely disappointed with Li Xu. Every time he sees his son, he will scold him severely.
And Li Xu is not a person who will accept it. You old man don't like me, so how can I like you?
Anyway, I have a rotten life and I don't know when I will die suddenly. Why should I bear your anger? I might as well move to a brothel and live in a drunken dream every night. I won't be bothered by you.
This wave, it is really a father and son laughing.
...
The interior of the Xiangguo Mansion is extremely magnificent and not much inferior to the imperial palace. Li Xu walked through pavilions and terraces and came directly to the destination of this trip-the Xiangguo Mansion study.
It is no exaggeration to say that the study room of the Xiangguo Mansion is equivalent to the imperial study room of the palace. The current Emperor of Dayan is obsessed with cultivating immortals and cannot extricate himself. He has handed over all the important memorials of the court to Li Chunfeng for processing.
As soon as he stepped over the threshold of the study room, Li Xu immediately looked at the middle-aged man behind the desk.
The man's face was full of weather and he was concentrating on reviewing the memorials in front of him. His temperament was calm and restrained, just like an elderly Confucian scholar. Two golden characters were floating above his head: [55].
"As expected of the ultimate villain in "Tianxuan", [55]'s luck is simply unparalleled. I guess the old man has the highest luck in the world!"
Li Xu sighed silently in his heart, and then inadvertently glanced at the beautiful lady next to Li Chunfeng who was grinding ink for him.
It would have been better if he hadn't glanced at it. This glance instantly made Li Xu stiffen in place as if struck by lightning.
The luck floating above the beautiful lady's head was actually three symbols:
