Chapter 8: 8. Let's Go And Look For Cheats

Mercenary King

Daily sign-in.

Treasure Hunting

X-ray vision.

Son-in law.

Destiny Villain devouring fate.

Choice making Villain.

Leon muttered softly about the different breeds of protagonists and villains found out there.

These were just at a lower level. Going above you find the cultivator overbearing protagonist in hell mode.

Sighing, Leon looked straight.

On a world map plastered across the huge wall, a dart emitting a faint rustling sound struck the map creating a small hole.

The dart vanished, then appeared in Leon's hand who was submerged in deep thinking about nobility.

When the spatial crack appeared over the earth, a great disruption occurred in the world, similar to the apocalypse. Except for the creation of zombies, all other things like evolution, plants, animals and the breakdown of land mass occurred.

The current families who rule the world emerged during the catastrophe. However, it was difficult to protect themselves with profound qi bursting their bodies, followed by the breakdown of the landmass causing great destruction so all those who had money entered the spaceships and went over to space.

They didn't go far away and stayed in the space station while assimilating the changes while the poorer ones got killed by natural calamity.

Those people then descended after a few years to create a new political system.

Democracy was nothing but hypocrisy presently. The so-called Leaders of society were chosen by the families and the election was being held just in the name of the people that the common people still had power.

The concept of the continent was dissolved into Country and the countries were reduced to states.

The new Countries formed from the destruction of previous continents.

The Country Elysium was made up of parts of India, China, Russia, a chunk of North America along with islands of Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaysia, Taiwan, and other small countries.

Meanwhile, his mother home country Aurorica was composed of North America, South America, China, Australia, and a few other islands.

Unlike previously, there were 6 newly formed land masses with Antarctica also shifting from its position towards the North a bit and was now ruled by some families that have Ice Crystal Bodies or Physiques.

"Did that idiot send me to the future instead of a different world? Except for future tech, everything else about history was almost the same."

"And with Chinese heritage, the first protagonist I have come across is Ye Chen who took this guy's fiancee in Aurorica."

As per the question, how was he so sure?

As long there is someone named Ye Chen, he had to be a fucking protagonist of the Mercenary King type.

Ye, Lin, Chu, Qin.

You will definitely find a protagonist with these names in Chinese novels.

"And in the Academy that I study, there should also be a protagonist, and about the guy with my so-called step-sister who also studies in the same academy, I feel he is more like a villain."

Alas, he can only know them after he comes across them or sees them from afar. The system would give an alert or something as per Vesturon.

"I am sure there is a villain who is already waiting with a gun behind to fuck around but I can't let him do that otherwise once he started snatching heroines and devouring them, I won't have a chance. And even if they won't target me naturally, the plot armor of my relationship is gonna make them target me somehow."

"But it's easier said than done. All I can do is to take baby steps and get stronger as well as influential."

As Leon closed his eyes and went over the memories trying to match his knowledge with the novels he read, he found an interesting fact.

"The villain who transmigrates must have read the story of the Protagonist meanwhile, I have read the story of a villain destroying the protagonist."

"The protagonist struggles hard at the beginning unless they have a system like sign-in. And at present everyone is at the starting point so it's a race of time however I would be least likely to be affected by crossfire as a side character unless I create trouble for myself, which I am going to do."

"Interesting."Leon held his chin with a smile as this was the only thing that could fill the void in his heart.

However, it was still a question of just how long can this thing force him to live.

"Haaa.I am always thinking of death. I have to suppress my suicidal tendencies."

Leon then tried to look for the names of various places in Aetheria Prime.

"Though the names of places are different, I can still follow the default cliche path with which protagonists gain power, and unlike villains, if I take their opportunities, fate will not use other means to make up for it as said by Vesturon but I am not sure if I can trust him."

"Today is December 29 and this guy seemed to be in an Academy that is a normal place for studies and as well Martial Arts but it's a holiday till 10th January."

KNOCK!KNOCK!

"Come!"

"Young Lord, we have cleaned the room," Hector spoke with a fearful voice. He had treated his wounds prematurely by wrapping a bandage after applying some medicine.

"Hector"

"Yes, master."

"Do we have a car?"

"That..."Hector hesitated a little but spoke hurriedly seeing Leon staring at him coldly.

"I will call the Household..."

"No need, arrange a taxi or cab as soon as possible. I want to go to the hospital. Tag with me to great treatment," Leon said with a grave tone.

"Ye...Yes."

Hector nodded and went away leaving Leon in deep thought.

"Before beginning, it's better to have a body check-up," Leon said gravely as he was having trouble with this new body.

....

Saint Thomas Hospital, West Side of Aetheria Prime.

The doctor went over the test and then stared at the young man sitting nonchalantly before him.

Knowing that he was from the Great Befort Family, he spoke respectfully.

"Sir, you did the right thing to come here quickly. Your body condition isn't good."The Doctor named Steve spoke.

"What's the problem?"Leon asked.

"Your body seemed to have a high content of alcohol. Besides that, you are suffering from fatigue, muscle aches, joint pain, and respiratory loss."Steve spoke, raising his monocle over his head.

"Are these not temporary problems?"

"Perhaps not. Your body seemed to be in a deteriorating condition and it's even amazing you are alive now. In the test about Spiritual Qi inhalation, your veins seemed to be coagulated creating problems in the Qi channel."Steve paused a bit before continuing.

"Forgive me but it seems you have a disease that I am unable to find out with my skills. I think you should look for an experienced Doctor, especially a divine doctor because these types of hidden diseases are hard to find."

Leon almost laughed inwardly hearing the Divine Doctor. That would be the last thing he should do.

After all, there were chances of Divine Doctors being either the protagonists or someone from related to him

Who knows if he cure this disease and adds impotency as a bonus?

These Divine doctor bastards always play dirty, aiming for the future generation.

Though he wasn't a skirt chaser, he didn't want to be much. As a man, if one doesn't use his dick and remains a virgin for his life, then he should just cut it off as at the very least it would get rid of the man's strongest weak spot.

"I will do that but before that, I need your help a bit?"

"My help?"Steve asked, startled by the request.

"I have this liquor, can you run a test and see if there are some foreign substances in it?"Leon requested and took out a small vial containing a transparent liquid.

"Make sure to look for materials or herbs dissolved in it, if possible."

"Uh! Okay," Steve took it with a strange look.

"Also, I would like to stay in the hospital. Please suggest a strong sleeping pill that can act even on Tier 2 like me. I will make sure to pay you well."

Leon then went out of the cabin after the discussion.

'I don't think he can find anything if it's poisoned by traditional Chinese or Ayurvedic medicinal practitioners.

'This feels shitty. Knowing the type of things they can do, one has to think a thousand times even before taking a breath.'

On his way, Leon picked up a few things from the hospital canteen.

After a walk, he finally found the wounded Hector who had been treated by the Doctor. His wound had been stitched and bandaged well.

"Hey, Hector, I need further treatment so I need to stay here for the day and also transfer a few bucks to my account," Leon said, handing Hector a bun.

Hector, who raised his hand to take the bun, suddenly stopped and gave Leon a blank stare.

"You won't."

"Do you want to get admitted here with me?"Leon threatened him and Hector knew that he could do that.

"I have already paid 5k dollars for expensive treatment. I don't have much."

"Just transfer 1K. I am sure that bitchy gold-digging woman must have rewarded you with a hefty sum to keep quiet and inform, isn't it?"Leon asked with a smile that almost covered his face with malevolence.

'That's your stepmom, you are talking about.'

At this moment Hector was sure of one thing.

All the pressure that had been put on this boy had an unwanted effect which the Mistress or anyone else hadn't expected in their wildest dream.

This man seemed to be losing his sanity and morality.

Resigning himself to fate, Hector transferred money, and as a consolation, he was forced to eat the bun brought by Leon, and the moment he took a nib, his entire face heated up.

"Aah!"

"Spicy!Spicy!"

"Just what kind of sauce did you put in the bun?"

Hector jumped up and looked for water like a madman.

"Here!"Leon handed him a half-filled water bottle that Hector chugged down in a gulp but the aftermath was far from over.

Glancing at Hector, Leon ate his bun with an apologetic look.

"Sorry, I didn't know that you couldn't handle this little amount of spice."

'Hector now can sleep in the peaceful slumber.'

......

Later at night, when almost everyone was asleep except for the patients who were going through emergency treatment, and the hospital staff Leon opened his eyes.

Putting on a medical mask, to cover himself he looked at Hector sleeping soundly.

"The medicine seemed to be quite effective. I don't think he will wake up till morning or until afternoon unless someone forces him to or gives him medicine to nullify the effect."

Leon swiftly searched Hector's body and much to his surprise, found a black bank card.

"Holy shit, even this mother trucker had a black card while I was mocked by the system as a beggar."

"Damn it!"

Leon sucked in cold air and quickly hid the card in his pocket and then made his way out of the hospital.

"Let's go and look for some fucking cheats."
