Chapter 1 - I'm... not the protagonist?

[蓝星,蜀都]

"周总,要不要一些葡萄?"

一个身材娇小,皮肤水润无瑕的年轻女子依偎在周毅的胸前,她的声音柔和而甜美.

她的眼睛低垂着,散发出一种害羞,端庄的魅力.

"嗯."

周毅随口回答.

片刻之后,她修长的手指轻轻摘下一颗晶莹剔透的葡萄,送到他的嘴唇上.

葡萄凉爽而甜美——就像他现在的心情一样.

"好了,Lili,你现在可以走了.我有点累了.

"好~"

女孩乖乖地点点头,熟练地轻松地从他的怀抱中溜了出来.

很快,她就换上了一件白色衬衫和一条格子迷你裙,她的长腿包裹着及膝的白色长筒袜.离开前,她开玩笑地啄了啄他的脸颊.

刺痛感直击他的心,周毅忍不住用力地捏了捏她活泼的后背.

"小喽啰..."

他好笑地叹了口气.

如果这是他的前世,即使想到接近如此令人惊叹的美丽,也只是纯粹的幻想.

在穿越之前,他只是一个普通的上班族——被困在一份低薪但非常幸福的工作中(由公司的"996"文化提供).

几周前,在通宵达旦之后,他打开了 Tomato Novel 应用程序来放松.

当他点击一本名为"启示录恶棍:杀死次元囤积者之王"的书时,他在第四页昏厥了——然后在这个世界上醒来.

在这里,周毅长得和他一模一样,但不再是工资奴隶.相反,他是一家年轻,成功的互联网初创公司的创始人.

不是什么超级富有的大亨,而是拥有数亿净资产...足以享受轮换的后宫,一整年不重复一个美女.

真诚地...这就是生活.

[哔...检测到主机.系统正在初始化...][哔...系统已成功绑定.恭喜主人,激活了命中注定的超级反派系统!

[系统通知:世界末日即将来临.准备好接受你作为恶棍的角色——在主角的追捕中幸存下来,试图杀死他,掠夺他的命运!

[世界末日倒计时:30 天]

"系统...小人?!什么鬼?!

脑海中突如其来的声音将周毅惊醒,所有的困倦都消失了.

"世界末日?!谁他妈想在世界末日中活下来?!我穿越过着简单的生活——充满金钱,女人和自由的生活!不要被某个主角追捕!

[Beep… Host resistance detected. Initiating unbinding sequence. Note: Unbinding will not alter fate. Protagonist will still hunt you.]

[Unbinding 1%… Unbinding 2%… Unbinding 99%…]

"Wait, WAIT—hold the fuck up! How did it jump from 2% to 99%?! Are you messing with me?! STOP! System… Daddy, don't leave me!!"

As the unbinding neared completion, Zhou Yi leapt out of bed, howling at the ceiling like a madman.

[Beep… Unbinding paused. Humans. Illogical.]

"System, why can't I escape being hunted by the protagonist?"

[Answer requires system activation + completion of novice mission. Proceed?]

"Tch…"

Zhou Yi slumped back, exhaling in frustration.

This was bullshit.

He'd finally escaped the grind.

Finally become rich.

And before he could even enjoy it, some system drops in to announce: 30 days till doomsday, and oh, by the way—you're the villain on the protagonist's hit list.

Mental. Breakdown.

"Fine. Load it. Either way, I'm dead without it."

At least with the system, he might have a fighting chance.

Without it?

Who knows how gruesome his end would be.

[Beep… Omnipotent Destiny-Plundering Supervillain System activated. Apocalypse guide available. Review at leisure.]

Zhou Yi stared blankly at the translucent blue screen flooding with text.

Minutes passed.

Then more.

Finally, he lit a cigarette and took a long, deep drag…

"Omnipotent"? "Destiny-Plundering"? "Supervillain"?

After thorough inspection, he realized his system's only real power was:

Steal a fraction of the protagonist's luck and skills upon killing him.

That's it.

The rest was just a cluttered UI—half quest log, half status panel.

As someone who'd literally died from binge-reading novels, Zhou Yi was no stranger to apocalypse settings. After a cursory glance at the survival guide, he focused on the left side of the panel.

A rotating 3D avatar—his spitting image—hovered there.

When he focused, details materialized:

[Name]: Zhou Yi

[Tier]: Locked

[Skills]: Locked

[Store]: Locked

[Villain Traits]:

Deception (True villains excel at manipulation. Your words carry weight—except against the protagonist!)

Plunder (Kill the protagonist to seize his fortune and abilities.)

[Villain Points]: 0 (Cause trouble, cheat, or deceive to earn points!)

"That's it?!"

"This is your grand system?! No OP cheats? No instant-win hax?!"

[Host (◣ω◢╬) must earn Villain Points to unlock advanced functions!]

[Due to Host's stellar attitude, novice mission forcibly issued. Check log!]

[Novice Mission]: Before doomsday, weaken the protagonist. Post-apocalypse, rewards scale with performance.

The screen flickered violently.

Even the robotic voice now carried a hint of annoyance.

"Ugh. Just point me to the damn protagonist. I'll grab a shotgun and 'American Kenpo' his ass right now."

[WARNING: Host cannot kill/indirectly kill protagonist or reveal apocalypse intel prematurely.]

"Then I'll fly to the other side of the planet before doomsday hits."

[WARNING! Host must remain in protagonist's city and comply with system rules!]

"..."

[Complete tasks for generous rewards. Host will cooperate.]

"Cooperate, my ass! He's the protagonist!" Zhou Yi screamed internally.

Any novel reader knew how broken protagonists were:

Plot Armor? Check.

Idiot Aura (enemies turn stupid)? Check.

Lucky Breaks? Check.

Harem Magnet? Double check.

Trying to steal his luck?

Learn his skills?

Yeah, right.

More likely, Zhou Yi would end up as just another stepping stone in the protagonist's epic underdog-to-God journey.

"Guess I'll have to grind Villain Points first… See what this 'store' even offers."

Closing his status, he eyed the four yellow exclamation marks on the panel's right.

Focusing on the largest one—

FLASH! A golden card spun into view, nearly blinding him.

"Whoa! Legendary pull!"

"System Daddy came through?!"
