Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

When he first played Fallen Immortal, he still believed in some sort of newbie protection period, so he became a gambling dog at the crossroads in Western Province City.

But later... He gambled away all his possessions but didn't get anything good.

Yino got a bit desperate.

Since the game had just launched, it wasn't hard to develop a new character.

After wasting his first character, Yino simply rerolled, speedran the main storyline, and then returned to Western Province City with all his possessions to draw again.

As long as one of his characters could draw a premium gem, Yino would immediately take off and dominate the early game.

But later, all three or four of Yino's characters were completely wiped out.

This made Yino somewhat suspicious.

He opened the forum and found that many players, driven by gambling mentality and wanting to get ahead right at launch, had ended up bankrupt in Western Province City and deleted their accounts overnight.

So, in the relevant discussion threads, players affectionately referred to Tian as Tian Weni(His mother's name) .

Because everyone loved Boss Tian's mother so much.

Gradually, as he played longer, Yino began to have doubts about this old Tian.

He simply created a character, never spent a coin throughout the game, and exchanged all his treasures for money to save up. After saving for a long time, Yino simply bought out all the stones in Boss Tian's shop in one go.

But the stone-opening interface ran for a full half hour...

In the end, Yino didn't get any so-called Pure Blood Phoenix Crystals or top-tier treasures.

Just when Yino was most angry, Boss Tian explained with a smile that he was just running a small unofficial business, and he never said his shop had a guarantee system. The minerals were all imported from the Western Region's Demon Abyss, and the so-called 0.6 percent chance of premium items was just Tian's own formula from years of operation.

Yino was furious when he heard this.

He immediately took out his sword from his inventory and was ready to chop down this swindler on the spot.

But due to the game's protection mechanism, righteous cultivators were not allowed to kill civilians in the city. No matter how angry Yino was, he could only swing his sword at Tian through an invisible wall.

From then on. Yino held this grudge, and Tian became his lifelong enemy in Fallen Immortal, rivaling the original novel's Joy Demoness Jinyue in terms of hatred!

However, what Yino didn't expect was that after being reborn, he would still see this old swindler at the crossroads in Western Province City.

And unlike his previous life, this time Yino had truly been reborn, not just in a game server with rules and restrictions.

What did he care about civilians on the street?

Yino wanted to be like Homelander—who in Western Province City could stop him?

Moreover... The real Yino was still recovering at Ranmo Peak, so what did a mysterious man in black killing someone on the street have to do with Yino?

"Damn, I can't stand seeing this old swindler!"

Thinking of this, Yino cursed under his breath.

He first wrapped his black robe tightly around himself, making sure his mask was secure on his face, and then without waiting for Yunjin and Jinyue to react, he charged straight into the crowd—

Boom!!!

Wearing the mask, Yino naturally no longer feared the so-called game rules.

He rushed up behind the girl who had been swindled of her purse, raised his leg, and with one powerful kick, directly knocked over Tian's mineral stall.

Various colored minerals scattered all over the ground.

At the same time, Yino drew his sword without hesitation, releasing the power and killing intent of a Core Formation stage cultivator.

"You, you're going to— in broad daylight?!"

Tian was startled and was about to speak out in accusation, but Yino grabbed him by the collar and pushed him against the wall, suspending him in mid-air.

"You old bastard, I bought all the stones from your stall back then and didn't get a single Pure Blood Phoenix Crystal!"

"After all these years, you still dare to openly swindle people on the street!"

"Hurry up and return all the money to the young lady! Didn't you see that she's been cheated out of every last coin, even her money for food?"

Yino's eyes turned fierce with anger.

Tian was caught by the collar and confronted face-to-face. Although he couldn't remember who Yino was, he was somewhat convinced under the terrifying killing intent.

After all... He had run this gambling stall in Western Province City for so many years, and he couldn't even remember how many people had lost everything here.

However, he had never seen a young man as unrestrained as the one before him.

"But, but we operate honestly... You win some, you lose some..."

"Honest my ass! You know exactly what garbage these stones are!"

Seeing that the other party was still trying to play the victim, Yino became even angrier.

If it weren't for his cultivation level not being high enough, and not wanting to cause a big scene that would get him wanted by the Western Province City government, Yino would have simply killed him with his sword and been done with it.

"Come on! Tell me, what's the probability of getting a Pure Blood Phoenix Crystal from your stones?"

"Six, six per thousand, I guess..."

The middle-aged man was held by the collar, still reciting the exact same lines as in the previous life.

But as his words fell, Yino unexpectedly turned to the many onlookers around and coldly smiled:

"Fine, I'll open a thousand stones right now, and if there aren't six Pure Blood Phoenix Crystals, I'll take you to the magistrate today for fraud!"

"This... this this this..."

"Actually, forget about six Pure Blood Phoenix Crystals. If even one Pure Blood Phoenix Crystal can be found in these thousand stones, I'll consider it your win today. Not only will I not take this Pure Blood Phoenix Crystal, but I'll also cover the cost of all thousand stones!"

"W..aaaait..."

"Didn't you say six per thousand? Do you dare to bet?"

Saying this, Yino held the owner by the collar, as if parading a thief through the streets for public humiliation.

Instantly, many bystanders were excited by this bet and eagerly joined in to fan the flames.
