It was just that the system amplified those hidden "thoughts" deep in his heart, thoughts that he himself had never even faced.
In other words, his feelings for those girls stemmed from his true feelings.
Whether it was Erii, Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang, Zero, or Xia Mi... he had always had designs on them.
That wasn't the dragon blood at all; that was Lu Mingfei's true inner thought.
This realization unveiled the devastation behind the glamorous facade, bringing a nauseating clarity:
It turns out that deep down he's a... scumbag!
This system ability, called "Emotion Amplification," also acted as a key, unlocking the mystery of why Liu's parents had given him such extraordinary and dedicated help in his early years.
Initially, the help stemmed from gratitude, which was subtly amplified by the system.
Next, at the system's request, he recounted his experience at his aunt's house, which aroused the sympathy of Liu's parents and Liu Miaomiao—and was amplified as well.
Finally, Wanda's inhuman piano performance, despite its shock and the resulting appreciation and anticipation, still couldn't escape being amplified by the system.
Although it was due to the system, those emotions, those kindness, sympathy and recognition, truly arose spontaneously from the hearts of Liu's parents and Liu Miaomiao.
The system didn't create something out of nothing; it simply amplified that emotion rapidly.
Most importantly, there was the "Lu Mingfei" incident.
If he had chosen to be Lu Mingfei back then, all the risks and hardships would have been irrelevant to him.
He will complete this game called "Life" without taking any damage.
But... he chose to go against the current.
He chose the most difficult path, like a foolish protagonist in a shonen manga, shouting that he wanted to defy fate.
it's good now.
Reality slapped him hard in the face.
With this damn system, his identity, which is considered "abnormal" and destined to stir up trouble, will inevitably attract the world's hostility.
The world's hostility will sooner or later push him into a situation where he is an enemy of the whole world!
No wonder... no wonder one of the "Ten Elements of a Villain" is "Owning his own organization".
Everything is connected.
This "emotion amplifier" is the core.
It acts like a gravitational pull, constantly drawing people who have goodwill, affection, or even love for him to his side, making them sink deeper and deeper, unable to break free.
Those who dislike or fear him will also be pushed to extremes by these amplified emotions.
Hatred will turn into murderous intent, and fear will turn into the determination to annihilate—drawing swords against each other is the inevitable outcome.
Only those who are completely indifferent to him and simply pass by are the truly lucky ones.
But the most crucial doubts also surfaced:
System Bro, would you really "forget" to tell him about such a core and deadly ability?
No, absolutely impossible.
The only answer is—he did it on purpose.
He could have told him the truth about the system when he became Lu Mingfei; that would have been a truly informed choice!
But the system didn't.
He simply offered a temptation, presenting a smooth path (Lu Mingfei) and a thorny dead end (Lu Mingfei), leaving the choice to him.
Now, looking back on the past few days.
Lu Mingfei finally understood the true intention behind the System's apparent desire to "kill him".
Where did they intend to kill him?
That was practically forcing him!
Force him to shed all weakness and illusions! Force him to be tempered in the fire as quickly as possible and grow stronger in adversity!
Force him to open his eyes wide and confront the darkest and dirtiest corner of his heart!
When he tries to back down or fantasizes, the system will punish him severely.
He was responsible for the first fire and the two electrocutions.
Think about it carefully: if he had his original personality—that of a loser, coward, and shameless person who loved to give up and was always daydreaming—and then the system's ability amplified his emotions.
In the future, he will become a scumbag who is promiscuous, keeps a harem everywhere, and is never responsible.
But when real danger arrives, when those caught in his chaotic vortex need him to step forward, his cowardly nature will once again prevail—
He would let the people around him die one after another for him.
Until all the light goes out and all the warmth disappears.
Ultimately, in some cold, foul-smelling sewer corner, he will rot away alone, like a pile of neglected garbage, in loneliness and regret.
That was the destined and only fate that Lu Mingfei, that "muddy mess," had to endure!
“But I’m different now,” Lu Mingfei murmured to himself.
After taking a few deep breaths, he stood up, walked to the full-length mirror in the corner of the room, and murmured softly:
"The weak me of the past is dead!"
Chapter 66 "Secret Talks"
"Let's talk about the rest in the living room. Sister Xin will clean up these dishes tomorrow."
Mr. Liu stood up and glanced at his confused daughter. "Let's go, Miaomiao."
The three of them then got up, left the dining room, and went to the spacious living room.
In the living room, a huge crystal chandelier casts a soft, warm light, illuminating the smooth, off-white marble floor and a set of dark brown high-end leather sofas.
Liu's parents naturally sat down on the long sofa in the center.
Liu Miaomiao sat down next to her mother on a single sofa.
Ling quietly sat down on another single sofa a little further away, still maintaining that sense of detachment.
Liu's father turned his gaze to Ling and said gently:
"Miss Zero, please remove all your communication devices and turn them off."
Zero's body tensed almost imperceptibly for a moment, but she reacted quickly without any hesitation or questioning.
She immediately reached into her pocket and pulled out a small, inconspicuous black device—a miniature communicator—and placed it on the large mahogany coffee table in the middle of the sofa.
"Miaomiao, turn off your phone too," Liu's mother instructed immediately.
"Oh!" Although Liu Miaomiao was still confused, her trust in her parents made her have no doubts.
She also took out her phone, deftly pressed the power button, and then, imitating Zero, placed it on the mahogany coffee table, right next to the miniature communicator.
Liu's father's gaze fell meaningfully on Ling again, but he said nothing.
Zero possesses extremely keen insight.
The instant her father's gaze lingered on her, she seemed to understand, and immediately reached into her pocket again—
This time, she took out an iPhone 3G, turned it off decisively, unlocked the screen to confirm it was off, and then gently placed it on the mahogany coffee table, next to the other two devices.
Seeing Ling's actions, Liu's father's tense expression finally relaxed, as if he had confirmed something important.
Even before this conversation began, he and Liu's mother had already turned off all the wireless routers and network devices in the house.
The previous conversations could perhaps be considered a performance intended for a potential "audience".
But what we're about to discuss is entirely different in nature.
Although the Liu family didn't mind if the forces behind Zero heard some information through certain channels, they were just in case—
The following conversation must be absolutely, necessarily, and absolutely not eavesdropped on or monitored in any way.
Father Liu instructed, "Miaomiao, remember this: if you listen to what I'm about to say, you must become Lu Mingfei's person."
“If you refuse, our whole family will die, do you understand?” Mr. Liu’s expression became extremely serious.
Liu Miaomiao was startled; she had never seen her father like this at home.
But judging from the father's tone and expression, these words did not seem to be false.
"Miaomiao, if you don't want to, you can go back to your room now," Liu's mother advised from the side.
Liu Miaomiao glanced at Zero, who remained unmoved across from her.
Why? Why was it like this before? Zero could listen, but she couldn't.
Are your parents so sure that Ling will definitely become Lu Mingfei's person?
But upon closer reflection, this is quite possible.
Ling is not only more beautiful than her, but she is also Lu Mingfei's fiancée.
She had a strong premonition that if she backed down now, she would never be able to get close to Lu Mingfei.
"I do!" Liu Miaomiao's voice could be clearly heard in the living room.
Seeing this, Liu's parents said no more.
“Miss Ling, you should know something about Lu Mingfei’s true identity, right?” Mr. Liu asked.
He nodded without saying a word.
Mr. Liu sighed, as if recalling the scene at that time:
"To be honest, Xiaofei and I were both shocked when we found out Lu Mingfei's identity."
He shook his head with a wry smile, "Who would have thought... that kind of being is right next to us? And still looking so pathetic."
"Dad, who exactly is Lu Mingfei?" Liu Miaomiao couldn't help but interject.
Liu's father looked at her and explained, word by word, "He is one of the three supreme beings in this world."
Liu Miaomiao was bewildered, only to hear her father continue speaking.
