#15 - On the Values of Villains
Chapter 15: On Villain Values
Question: How to get rich when traveling back to ancient times?
Answer: Recite ancient poems, copy famous works, invent things.
In fact, Wei Changtian really wanted to engage in inventions and creations like the protagonists in web novels, arranging everything from glass, cement, gunpowder, and even steam engines, directly bringing the brilliance of technology to this backward world.
However, the truth is that these things are a bit too professional for Wei Changtian. If he had to invent something... black silk stockings, short skirts, high heels?
Sure enough, a lecher is the primary productive force.
Since he can't do inventions, he can only take the first two paths.
Fortunately, Wei Changtian still had a solid nine years of compulsory education, and his mind contained some of the artistic treasures of five thousand years of Chinese civilization.
Reciting poetry is not the right time right now, but copying books doesn't matter.
“...This golden cudgel weighs 13,500 pounds, and is the treasure of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, but the Dragon King does not know its wonders...”
“...In this way, Sun Wukong hid the golden cudgel in his ear, and obtained this handy weapon...”
Wei Changtian lay on the bed, saying whatever came to his mind, and soon he was talking about the part where Sun Wukong obtained the golden cudgel.
And the number of listeners around him was increasing.
Originally, there was only Lu Jingyao, then Qiu Yun and Yuan'er were added, and then a little girl and a big black dog were added.
“...Let's stop here for today.”
Clicking his dry lips, Wei Changtian turned his head for the first time, and was immediately startled by the four girls and a dog staring straight at him.
“No, when did you guys come?”
“Ah…”
Qiu Yun came back to her senses and lowered her head shyly: "Yuan'er and I just came in to add oil to the candles, and we stayed because we found it interesting."
“Oh, what about you?”
Wei Changtian looked at Wei Qiaoling, who was lying on the back of the big black dog: "What are you doing here?"
Wei Qiaoling was still immersed in the world of the Monkey King, her eyes wide open: "What happened later? What happened after getting the golden cudgel? Brother, please continue!"
“I'll tell you tomorrow.”
Wei Changtian said helplessly: "If you want to listen, come earlier tomorrow."
“Okay…”
Wei Qiaoling shook her little head regretfully, and finally remembered the business: "By the way, brother, it was Daddy and Mother who sent me here! They asked me to give this to you!"
“Big Black! Spit it out quickly!”
“Awoo!”
The big black dog screamed miserably, and quickly opened its mouth as if relieved of a heavy burden, and immediately a porcelain bottle quietly slipped from the dog's mouth to the ground.
“…”
Wei Changtian and Lu Jingyao were dumbfounded, but Qiu Yun and Yuan'er looked like they were used to it, and picked up the bottle with a handkerchief.
“Daddy said to eat one a day, and the wound will heal quickly!”
Wei Qiaoling showed off triumphantly: "I also eavesdropped on Daddy and Mother talking! Brother, do you want to listen?"
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment: "Tell me..."
“Yes!”
Wei Qiaoling reported truthfully: "Daddy said that this time the Wei family's face will be lost by you, and Mother said that's right!"
“Then Daddy said that it's good for brother to be beaten a little, and Mother said Daddy is farting!”
“Then Daddy said that Mother was right, and Mother said that she would punish Daddy on top tonight…”
“Stop! Cut it short!”
Looking at Qiu Yun and Yuan'er with suppressed smiles, Wei Changtian quickly waved his hand to interrupt: "No need to say the following!"
“What's wrong…”
Although Wei Qiaoling was a little puzzled, she pursed her lips and didn't continue talking.
She deliberately dawdled for a while, and seeing that there were no more monkey stories to listen to, she lost interest in staying here.
“Brother, Big Black and I are going back!”
Wei Changtian couldn't wait for this little ancestor to leave, and quickly nodded: "Okay! Go quickly! Qiu Yun, Yuan'er, you send Qiaoling back!"
“Yes, young master.”
The two girls left the cleaned porcelain bottle, and then took Wei Qiaoling out the door... followed by a big black dog that was almost integrated with the night.
“Cough!”
Looking at the somewhat surprised Lu Jingyao, Wei Changtian said awkwardly: "Well, children's words are not to be taken seriously, Qiaoling is actually quite cute usually..."
“Big Black!”
A distant and dissatisfied shout suddenly came from outside the window.
“Even monkeys can become immortals! Why are you so stupid!”
“Why are you looking at me, hurry up and transform!”
“…”
Wei Changtian: "Hehe."
“Actually, the people of the Wei family are not the same as I thought before.”
In the room, Lu Jingyao poured a round and shiny pill from the porcelain bottle, and handed it to Wei Changtian along with a cup of cold tea.
Wei Changtian swallowed the pill and asked with a smile: "What? Did you think before that everyone in the Wei family, from top to bottom, should be demons who can't stop talking about killing people?"
“It's not that exaggerated.”
Lu Jingyao hesitated: "But rumors in the market..."
“The rumors in the market are true. My parents, including me, have killed many people.”
Wei Changtian did not hide anything: "And many of them really shouldn't have died."
“…”
Lu Jingyao didn't expect that Wei Changtian could say such things so calmly. For a moment, she couldn't control her emotions and blurted out: "You, don't you feel guilty?"
“Guilty?”
Wei Changtian was not angry, but pointed to a fluff on Lu Jingyao's chest and asked: "What kind of fur is this?"
Lu Jingyao looked blank: "Snow fox."
Wei Changtian continued to ask: "You are wearing clothes made of snow fox fur, do you feel guilty?"
Lu Jingyao was so clever that she immediately understood what Wei Changtian meant.
A trace of struggle flashed in her eyes, and she argued softly: "But this is an animal..."
“So what if it's an animal?”
Wei Changtian smiled: "Isn't it a life? Including the pigs, cows, fish, and ducks you eat every day, aren't they all lives?"
“When you put meat in your mouth, have you ever felt guilty?”
“…”
Lu Jingyao stopped talking. She felt that Wei Changtian's words seemed to make sense, but she couldn't accept it anyway, and finally could only mutter.
“Sophistry…”
“Whatever you think.”
Wei Changtian said calmly: "I just want to tell you that in the eyes of some people, the weak are just animals."
“…”
Lu Jingyao suddenly widened her eyes and murmured: "But, but it shouldn't be like this..."
“Maybe it shouldn't be.”
Wei Changtian thought that this woman didn't have much ability but had a lot of ideas, and said one last sentence.
“But this is something that only the strong can decide. It is useless for the weak to criticize or beg.”
“If you want to change the rules, you must first be able to defeat the people who make the rules.”
…
The next day.
Just as the sky was bright, Wei Changtian, who had been fighting fiercely in his dream all night, was awakened by the barking of a dog.
As soon as he opened his eyes, it was indeed Wei Qiaoling, this little ancestor.
“Brother, brother! Get up quickly and tell stories!”
“Tell stories?”
Wei Changtian looked at the rising sun outside the window and said with a wry smile: "Qiaoling... I asked you to come earlier, but I didn't ask you to come so early!"
“Ah?”
Wei Qiaoling was immediately unhappy and rolled around on the ground: "No, no! I want to hear the monkey stories!"
Wei Changtian quickly persuaded: "Be obedient, be obedient, brother has something to do today, I'll tell you when I come back in the afternoon."
Wei Qiaoling pouted and asked: "What can brother do!"
“This…”
Wei Changtian was instantly stuck.
He couldn't say that he was going to continue embarrassing the Wei family.
But when he looked up and saw Qiu Yun and Yuan'er at the door, waiting to come in to help him wash and change, he suddenly had an answer in his heart.
Perhaps before, he only wanted to become stronger in order to deal with Xiao Feng.
But now...
