What? All the female protagonists have systems, but I don't?

The vehicle continued its journey towards Tianhua Mansion.

"Young Master, I failed to protect you just now."

The driver spoke to Lin Yuan as he drove.

He felt extremely ashamed. Not only had he failed to protect the young master, but he had also been protected by the young master. In order for him to leave, the young master was even willing to stay behind alone.

As the young master's driver and bodyguard, he was utterly negligent.

"Hehe~ There's no need to apologize. Long Haochen is no ordinary person. It's normal that you're no match for him."

Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes to rest, still unable to forget what Long Haochen had said to him when he left.

At that moment, Lin Yuan really wanted to ask, "Who's the villain here, you or me?"

"Young Master, should we get more people to protect you closely? Even if we're no match for that guy, we can at least buy you some time so you can leave safely."

The driver spoke again.

More people? To buy time?

Lin Yuan could only smile wryly. This driver had no idea how terrifying Long Haochen really was. Ordinary martial arts practitioners were like ants trying to shake a tree when facing Long Haochen.

Even the elite special forces soldiers would be instantly killed in front of Long Haochen.

This guy is a martial arts practitioner. People like him have transcended the common sense of the world. Simply having more people wouldn't be enough to defeat him.

"What's your name?"

Lin Yuan looked at the driver who was still driving and suddenly asked.

Because he searched through his memory but couldn't recall the driver's name, he had no choice but to ask.

Such a loyal subordinate deserves to be remembered by him.

"Young master, my name is Yang Gang."

Yang Gang said his name, his voice slightly excited as he introduced himself, as the young master had never asked for his name before.

If asked now, there's no doubt that the young master has remembered him. Does this mean he's become the young master's confidant?

Yang Gang was lost in his own thoughts.

Lin Yuan nodded; he remembered the name.

The car quickly arrived at Tianhua Mansion.

Lin Yuan led Yang Gang into his villa and searched for a while before finally finding some ointments for treating sprains and bruises.

After applying a simple layer, Lin Yuan spoke to Yang Gang.

"Go find a guest room to sleep in."

"Young master, I'm not sleepy. I can keep watch for you."

Lin Yuan glanced at Yang Gang again and smiled.

"This is Tianhua Mansion. There are security guards patrolling here. We don't need you. You still have to drive me tomorrow. Go to sleep."

"Okay, I'll do as you say, young master."

Hearing Lin Yuan say this, Yang Gang finally gave in, found a guest room, and went to sleep.

Lin Yuan went to the master bedroom, lay on the bed, stared at the ceiling, and was wide awake.

Long Haochen attacked him tonight, and if it weren't for the sudden appearance of a patrolling sheriff, he would have lost his life.

After experiencing something like that, he couldn't sleep.

“Chosen One, protagonist, Long Haochen, you attacked me, and I might be able to tolerate it, but you threatened my family, so don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Lin Yuan got out of bed and went to the table to organize the information in his mind.

In the original novel, after Long Haochen descended the mountain, he also had some fortuitous encounters. It was because of these fortuitous encounters that Long Haochen's strength steadily improved step by step, becoming more and more powerful.

What he needs to do now is to seize these fortuitous encounters before Long Haochen does, and use them to enhance his own strength.

He had thought of this idea before, but the risk was too great.

He had intended to do more preparation before taking action, but it was now clear that Long Haochen wouldn't give himself that kind of time.

"If you want to kill me, don't blame me for taking away your opportunity."

Lin Yuan was writing and drawing on the paper.

There were simply too many extraordinary encounters for Long Haochen in the original story, and he wanted to pick out a few simple ones that could quickly improve his strength.

In the original work, there are only three ways to improve one's strength: one is to cultivate techniques, the second is to use magical treasures, and the third is to use elixirs.

After tidying up for a long time, Lin Yuan drew three circles on the paper.

There's a unique opportunity within this circle, an opportunity that belongs to your future self.

As Long Haochen grew stronger and stronger, crushing his ordinary self no longer brought him any sense of satisfaction. So the author gave the villainous self an opportunity to improve his abilities.

Having improved his strength, he felt invincible and committed even more outrageous acts, but he still fell into Long Haochen's hands, giving the opponent a huge amount of experience.

The next day, Lin Yuan got up groggily, stretched his body, washed up briefly, and then left the room.

"Yang Gang, go and buy these things for me."

Lin Yuan handed Yang Gang a slip of paper with a list of items needed for the trip.

Looking at the items on the note, Yang Gang asked.

"Young Master, are we going on a long trip?"

"Yes, you can come with me. We can buy more supplies."

"Yes, young master, I'll take care of it right away."

Yang Gang didn't ask where they were going. He immediately went out to the largest shopping center in the north of the city and bought everything Lin Yuan needed.

Lin Yuan opened the refrigerator, looked at the ingredients inside, and made himself a simple meal.

I fried a few eggs, toasted two slices of bread, and had some cherry tomatoes and lettuce. I simply ate a bite with some salad dressing.

Yang Gang was very fast and returned to Tianhua Mansion in no time.

"Young Master, everything has been purchased."

"Okay, let's go."

"Um...Young Master, didn't President Gu have an appointment with you today...?"

Yang Gang looked at Lin Yuan and spoke cautiously, leaving his meaning unsaid.

Lin Yuan also remembered that Gu Qingyi had indeed asked him to go to her office today.

But with his own life hanging by a thread, how could he have time to go to her place? Besides, Long Haochen was Gu Qingyi's personal bodyguard; going there would be suicide.

"No, let's head straight there."

Lin Yuan immediately said.

"Okay, Master."

Yang Gang didn't ask why. Since the young master had decided not to go, then he wouldn't go. He only needed to obey the young master's orders.

Soon, the car drove out of Tianhua Mansion and headed into the distance.

On the way, Lin Yuan sent a message to his parents.

"I'm going on a long trip and will be back in about two or three days. Please take good care of Xiaobao."

He turned off his phone as soon as he finished, not wanting anyone to bother him during this time.

Lin Yuan looked out the window with a solemn expression. This trip might be risky, but he had to go no matter what.
