Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately.

Start the simulation to kill bugs and live to the peak of life

The real title of the book was [Start simulation to kill bugs, hide until you leave the moving castle](Lord's text) When he woke up, the entire world had transmigrated to another world. Other people would start off by doing quests in the main city or killing monsters in the wild to level up and pick up treasure chests, but Mu Fan had transmigrated to the Cursed Land and faced layers upon layers of undead army. Other people's initial rewards were angels, black dragons, spearmen, elves, or even peasants, but Mu Fan only had a simulator. From then on, Mu Fan started his life simulation: A day later, while the others were still doing quests and killing monsters, Mu Fan had already gotten rid of the bug and escaped from the Legendary building, Moving Castle. A week later, when other people started to build their territories and recruit mercenaries, Mu Fan had already become the City Lord and issued NPC missions. He had also become a grand mage and possessed Mythical Grade equipment. He had occupied a top-notch Dao Foundation Nest and had tens of thousands of undead under him. Moreover, the more he fought, the more undead he had. A month later, when the others were fully fledged and formed teams to attack the city, Mu Fan had already conquered the entire Cursed Land and became the overlord of a region. A year later, when the Immortal Cultivation World broke through the World Barrier and arrived on this mainland, others were still others. Mu Fan had already become the ruler of the mainland and had mastered the 3,000 Great Dao. A concentration camp of imagination!

The fake daughter was forced to inherit billions of assets

[Completed] Warm Wine disappeared for 37 years and returned with his superpower. However, she accidentally wore it on the fake daughter who had been abandoned. Abandoned? Coincidentally, she could go back to find her brother. However, her eldest brother did not seem to treat her as a younger sister, her nephew did not treat her as a younger aunt, and her grandnephew did not treat her as a younger aunt. [Older Brother Over 60: Little Dimple, Big Brother has bought you cotton candy.] The middle-aged nephew said,"Auntie, it's my turn to pick you up from school today." His grandnephew, who was still a teenager, thought to himself,"Little Aunt, it's wrong to fall in love at such a young age!" Warm Wine: ??? Erm, listen to my excuses. I'm already a mature middle-aged man! Being treated like a baby, Wenjiu was very distressed. He could only divert his attention and seriously cover his avatar to increase his superpower, but... What was with this fake rich grandpa who suddenly appeared and wanted her to inherit the family property? The richest man's grandfather,"My dear granddaughter, do you have time to go home and inherit the family property?" Warm Wine: ??? The person involved expressed that he was a person with superpowers and did not need to have money. Moreover, she could not even spend all her money. ** The superpower was not very stable after the soul transmigration. Research showed that... She needed to get close to good-looking people and make them happy. The happier they were, the more stable they would be. Warm Wine was speechless. It didn't seem very reliable. Ji Xianyan, who had a good appearance, became the chosen prey. From then on, his mental activity became- - Why is she so nice to me? - Does she like me? - She must like me! One day, a young man with a bad temper blocked the path of the warm wine, his ears red,[I'm so annoying. I agree to your pursuit.] Warm Wine: ??? I'm sorry, I just want to be your little aunt.
