After ending the chat with Wen Jing, Wang Haoran checked his system.
With **1,100 Villain Points**, he'd reached a new record.
The System Mall's cheapest items cost **1,000 points**.
Excited, he browsed the available options:
- **Grandmaster-Level Calligraphy & Painting Replication (1,000 VP)**
- **Master-Level Culinary Arts (1,000 VP)**
- **Oscar-Worthy Acting Skills (1,000 VP)**
- **Master-Level Practical Wing Chun (1,000 VP)**
- **Master-Level Performance Martial Arts "Lightning Five Strikes" (1,000 VP)**
- **Low-Grade Beauty Preservation Pill (1,100 VP) – *Freezes aging for 30 years***
Wang Haoran hesitated.
The **acting skills** were perfect for deception—a must-have for villains.
But his biggest weakness was his **below-average combat ability**. **Master-Level Wing Chun** would fix that.
Then there was the **Beauty Pill**—imagine still looking 18 at 48, effortlessly dating young girls without raising eyebrows...
Tempting.
But he could only afford **one**.
After a brief internal debate, he chose **Master-Level Wing Chun**.
*Looks, brains, money—I already crush Chu Bai in every way except combat. Time to close that gap.*
The moment he confirmed the purchase, a surge of energy coursed through him.
He threw a few experimental punches—*effortless power*.
If it weren't midnight, he'd have shouted: *"I could take on ten guys at once!"*
Checking his updated stats:
**[Host: Wang Haoran]**
**[Combat Power: 289]**
**[Charm: 268]**
**[Villain Aura: 209]**
**[Villain Points: 100]**
**[Skills: Grandmaster-Level Replication, Master-Level Wing Chun]**
No more weaknesses.
*Now I'm a* true *high-spec rich heir.*
His combat power had jumped from **89 to 289**—**crushing** Chu Bai's **155**.

### **The Next Afternoon**
Most students were buried in study materials, cramming for college entrance exams.
Chu Bai, however, was busy carrying his chair over to Xu Muyan's desk with a stack of questions.
Xu Muyan frowned. *Everyone's busy. Why waste my time on* easy *questions?*
But out of kindness, she prepared to humor him.
Chu Bai didn't care about her feelings.
*To get the girl, you gotta be shameless.*
Just as Xu Muyan was about to speak—
Wang Haoran slid into the seat beside her (after swapping with Wen Jing), holding a test paper like he also needed "help."
Chu Bai's eye twitched.
*This bastard's* always *in my way!*
"*I* was here first," he said coldly.
Wang Haoran smiled. "I only have one question. You can go after me."
"*I* also have *one* question."
"Which one?"
Chu Bai randomly pointed at his paper.
"Oh, that's simple. Let me explain."
Wang Haoran launched into a detailed breakdown. Chu Bai, too pissed to listen, barely registered the words.
Three minutes later:
"Got it?" Wang Haoran asked brightly.
Chu Bai gritted his teeth.
"Wait... you *didn't* understand? It's *so* easy! Want me to repeat it?"
Humiliated—especially with Xu Muyan watching—Chu Bai forced out, "*Thanks.*"
"No problem~"
**[Ding! Host blocked protagonist Chu Bai from approaching female lead Xu Muyan. Reward: 100 VP.]**
Chu Bai stormed back to his seat, silently seething:
*Just wait till I catch you alone, you rich bastard...*
