[Reminder to the host: The current villain mall is only at the basic level. Accumulate 100,000 villain points to unlock the next level Villain Mall, where better items will be available]
"I'll take one Muscle Strengthening Pill, one Marrow Cleansing Pill, and Peak Dark Force Strength."
The basic mall offered many things for exchange, including various luxury cars, mansions, and company shares, all purchasable with villain points, even money.
However, Chu Mochen had no shortage of money and wasn't interested in things that could be bought with money.
The Muscle Strengthening Pill enhanced the body, the Marrow Cleansing Pill improved aptitude, and coupled with Peak Dark Force Strength, in terms of combat power alone, Chu Mochen could already surpass Ye Yang.
After taking the Muscle-Strengthening and the Marrow-Cleansing Pills, he felt no pain. Instead, he felt a warm flow coursing through his body, filling him with strength.
The effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill couldn't be directly observed, but the effects of the Muscle Strengthening Pill were significant, evident immediately after consumption.
"System, what does the Life Extension Pill do?"
[Increase lifespan by one year, limited to ten pills per person. More advanced malls have Life Extension Pills with unlimited usage]
"I feel like you're tempting me, System."
Chu Mochen was indeed tempted. Unlimited Life Extension Pills meant unlimited life.
Even ancient emperors couldn't resist the temptation of immortality, let alone him, a mere mortal.
There were also some pills to enhance attractiveness and charm, pills for eternal youth, and various skills like martial arts, shooting, piano, and painting.
However, Chu Mochen was short on villain points; even if there were many good things, he couldn't afford them right now.
"Young Master, Ah Li brought Ye Yang here."
Hearing Ah Hu's voice outside the door, Chu Mochen opened the door and walked out of the bedroom.
He then arrived at the living room downstairs, where he saw a haggard-looking Ye Yang.
Chu Mochen thought to himself, "Yesterday, I had Ah Li take Ye Yang to the club. I hope he didn't get himself into trouble."
In fact, he misunderstood; the protagonist always pretended to be righteous. He only had a massage at the club and didn't do anything else.
However, he had been inexplicably anxious since yesterday, as if he had lost something important. He spent the night in panic, which made him look haggard.
"Why did Senior Brother come to me so early?"
"Junior Brother, didn't you say you would help me set up a company to crush Liu Yuqing? How's the research going?"
Since last night's inexplicable panic, Ye Yang only wanted to make Liu Yuqingsubmit and marry him obediently quickly.
Ever since he saw Liu Yuqing, he felt that even strolling through the streets looking at beauties wasn't as enjoyable. Every woman he saw seemed dull and vulgar.
"I've had Ah Hu investigate. Liu Yuqing hasn't entered the Liu family's company, but has started her own cosmetics company with a starting capital of ten million, with an estimated current market value of about one billion."
"What, a billion in market value!"
Ye Yang widened his eyes a bit exaggeratedly. He had at most been to a small county; a hundred thousand yuan was already a lot for him.
When he left the mountain, his Old Man Ye gave him only ten thousand yuan.
Ye Tianhua was indeed wealthy; the former Divine Doctor certainly wasn't short of money. But he wanted Ye Yang to rely on his own abilities, so he didn't give him much money.
Furthermore, Ye Tianhua thought that with Chu Mochen by Ye Yang's side, Ye Yang wouldn't lack money. He had long planned for Chu Mochen to help Ye Yang.
"Just a billion in market value, not much. This kind of market value is somewhat inflated." Chu Mochen said calmly.
With a mother who controlled a trillion-dollar business empire, Chu Mochen was quite confident.
"So, how do we surpass Liu Yuqing's cosmetics company?"
"It depends on whether Senior Brother wants to use legitimate means or some underhanded means."
Ye Yang asked Chu Mochen, "What do you mean by legitimate means and underhanded means?"
Chu Mochen took a sip of water and cleared his throat.
"Legitimate means would be to establish our own cosmetics company and compete openly with them. Underhanded means would involve manipulating their company's stocks, poaching their employees, and spreading rumors that their cosmetics contain harmful chemicals."
"I'll definitely use legitimate means."
Ye Yang felt that as a righteous person, he couldn't resort to such despicable means.
"How can you even think of such despicable means, Junior Brother? We absolutely cannot use them."
Hearing this, Chu Mochen inwardly sneered, "I'm the villain; don't you understand that the business world is like a battlefield? There is nothing noble or ignoble about it."
No, Ye Yang wasn't ignorant. He was afraid that using such despicable means would make Liu Yuqing hate him. This guy had used plenty of despicable tactics in the plot.
"Since you want to defeat Liu Yuqing in an upright manner, it'll be troublesome. Liu Yuqing's company mainly deals in high-end cosmetics, which are very popular in elite circles. Even if we establish a cosmetics company, we won't be able to compete."
"A new cosmetics company without a standout product won't develop in the short term." Chu Mochen looked troubled.
"I'll take care of this matter." Ye Yang's face exuded absolute confidence.
Chu Mochen chuckled inwardly, then pretended to be surprised and asked, "Senior Brother, do you have knowledge of cosmetics? If you can indeed develop a herbal cosmetic product with decent effects, we do have a chance to compete with Liu Yuqing."
"I accidentally discovered a cosmetic formula. You take care of registering the company, but I want full control of this company."
After that, Ye Yang had Ah Li take him away.
Chu Mochen had already arranged for Ah Li to find him a place to stay yesterday.
"Full control? My good Senior Brother just wants to eat alone."
To make him invest in the company but not give him any shares—this guy was incredibly selfish and stingy.
Chu Mochen admitted he wasn't a good person, but in terms of selfishness, he considered himself no match for Ye Yang.
Furthermore, the cosmetic formula was given to him by Ye Tianhua. How could he claim he had developed it? Ye Tianhua had merely improved on an ancient formula.
"Senior Brother, your little mind can't outsmart me."
Chu Mochen smiled meaningfully.
"Ah Hu, go register the company in my name, then create a fake equity document and send it to Ye Yang."
"Understood, Young Master."
Ah Hu immediately acted on Chu Mochen's instructions.
