Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 133: Surely He Won’t Just Kill Me, Right?

Inside the private booth, Xu Cheng’s body had been reduced to ashes.

Qin Li and Qiu Bo stood quietly to the side, their expressions unchanging. To them, Qin Xian killing someone was hardly worth any reaction.

Xu Cheng, just a lone wanderer, was insignificant. His death meant nothing.

Qin Xian, meanwhile, was examining the newly acquired talent displayed on his system panel:

A smile formed on Qin Xian’s lips. This talent wasn’t some useless skill; it was incredibly valuable to him.

Qin Xian was preparing to undertake the Trial of Gods and Demons before reaching level 40.

Located on the edges of Blue Star’s Abyss, the Trial of Gods and Demons was the highest-difficulty dungeon under the Divine Revelation System.

Even the Shattered Heaven dungeon paled in comparison. Achieving a rating of seven stars or higher in the trial would grant him access to the Core of Divine Revelation, where he could claim the system’s ultimate rewards.

These rewards included a choice of unidentified items. While the exact nature of the chosen item was random, it would always be at least purple-tier legendary, with a chance of being gold-tier mythical.

Years ago, Chu Sitian, patriarch of the Chu family, had obtained a gold-tier mythical weapon from the Trial of Gods and Demons.

Equipment from the trial was not only a grade higher than its peers but was also regarded as the pinnacle of power.

That weapon had become Chu Sitian’s trump card, helping him maintain control over Changyuan for 300 years and earning countless accolades.

With Golden Eyes, Qin Xian could guarantee that his choice from the trial would be a gold-tier mythical item—eliminating the element of chance.

As for Xu Cheng? Qin Xian’s face remained emotionless.

If the Regency truly found traces of the Emperor, then the Qin family’s plans to rise would soon be set into motion. To prepare, Qin Xian needed to grow stronger at all costs.

No half-measures. No mercy.

That was why Xu Cheng had to die so quickly.

The background questions Qin Xian had asked earlier weren’t out of caution for himself but to avoid unnecessary complications for the auction.

If Xu Cheng had connections to any noble family, guild, or teacher, his death at the Divine Revelation Auction might cause trouble.

While the Qin family would remain untouched, Yuan Quan, the steward of the auction, could face scrutiny. The seven stewards of the Divine Revelation Church were in constant rivalry, vying for influence.

Qin Xian planned to infiltrate the monolith through Yuan Quan and didn’t want trivial matters to destabilize his pawn. Fortunately, Xu Cheng had no significant connections. His bad luck had brought him to Qin Xian’s attention, and his death was inevitable.

Having finished his business, Qin Xian and Qin Li prepared to leave the Divine Revelation Auction and return home. There were many matters he needed to discuss with his father, Qin Ming.

Qin Xian was in high spirits.

This auction had been extraordinarily rewarding:

Not only had he acquired Eclipse Light, a gold-tier non-level-restricted accessory, but also the Virgo Palace Final Revelation.

Additionally, he had discovered two Children of Destiny. Xu Cheng had already been dealt with. Next, it would be Gu Anran’s turn.

As Qin Xian walked out of the auction, surrounded by his entourage, he felt an insatiable hunger for Villain Points.

Each increase in his villain level made him exponentially stronger. In this world, strength reigned supreme. Qin Xian’s eyes burned with ambition, his thirst for power growing ever more intense.

As he passed through the crowd, the nobles who saw him lowered their heads in reverence, their gazes filled with awe and fear.

The Qin family’s acquisition of another Final Revelation had solidified their position, their foundations now even stronger. None dared to cross them.

Amidst the crowd, Zhou Nan silently observed Qin Xian. Unlike most attendees, Zhou Nan had hardly participated in the auction. The reason was simple—he had no money.

Although he had recently rejoined the Zhou family and been granted properties, making him a millionaire, a few million credits were barely enough to make a dent at the Divine Revelation Auction.

However, Zhou Nan hadn’t come for the auction itself. His goal was to copy Qin Xian’s abilities.

Before the auction began, he had hoped to strike up a conversation with Qin Xian and find an opportunity to duplicate his skills.

However, unforeseen events involving Gu Anran had disrupted his plans.

Now, as Qin Xian appeared before him, Zhou Nan gritted his teeth and decided to make his move.

“Greetings, Young Master Qin! I am Zhou Nan. I’ve long admired your name, and seeing you today, you truly are a dragon among men!”

Zhou Nan approached with a humble, flattering smile, extending both hands in an attempt to shake Qin Xian’s. In Zhou Nan’s mind, Qin Xian was undoubtedly a ruthless figure.

However, they had no personal grievances, and Zhou Nan was a recognized member of the Zhou family. Combined with his self-deprecating demeanor and the fact that Qin Xian had just secured a Final Revelation, he reasoned that Qin Xian would likely be in a good mood.

After all, the saying went, “A smiling face gets no slap.” With all these factors in his favor, Zhou Nan decided to take a chance.

Surely Qin Xian wouldn’t kill him on the spot, right?

Right?
