Walking the Path of a Workaholic in Cliché Novels (QT) Chapter 47

When An Yinong woke up, he was lying on the ground with a burning sensation in his stomach. There was a middle-aged man in gray and black shorts in front of him. While beating him with a whip, he pointed and scolded him: “Little beast, am I short of you to eat or to wear, and you actually snatch things?”

     The whip hit An Yinong’s hand, causing burning pain.

     The middle-aged man hit him several times in a row, and An Yinong instinctively rolled on the ground to avoid it, with dirt all over his body. At this time, a thin and weak voice came from the side.

     A young man who had been watching for who knows how long glanced at him carefully, with a timid expression and a proud look in his eyes. He said to the middle-aged man: “Uncle, stop fighting. It will be broken in a while.”

     However, the middle-aged man still hit him several times before he stopped and hummed to An Yinong on the ground: “If there is a next time, I will hit him every time I see him.”

     An Yinong lay there, motionless, with only a pair of emotionless and cold eyes on his face covered with dirt.

     The middle-aged man was startled by this look, and scolded him with a guilty conscience: “Little beast, who taught you to look at your father like this?” He said and wanted to wave his whip again.

     “Uncle, forget it.” The young man pretended to pull him.

     “Bah.” The middle-aged man hit him several more times, then put away his whip and left with the boy.

     An Yinong looked straight at the two people, with no sadness or joy, and no sparkle in his eyes.

     “Host, cheer up. If it doesn’t work, just think about it in the future. Once you have enough points, you can find a place to retire and live according to your own wishes. Don’t you still want to hold a concert? There will definitely be a chance in the future.”

     The system’s eyes were filled with tears. An Yinong looked like this now, as if he had no soul. It would rather the host was a heartless bad guy than living too seriously and hurting himself.

     “Xiao Qi, where is this?”

     One doesn’t know how long it took, An Yinong slowly sat up. He seemed to finally accept the reality in front of him. He slowly exhaled and shook his head with a wry smile, only showing a little fatigue on his face. He looked down at his chest. There were no wounds and no blood, but he still felt a faint pain. It really hurt.

     Will that video be seen by Tang Yu? After his death, will Zhao Ze be tried? Can Tao Ran’s illness be cured? Do others still like his songs?

     An Yinong buried his head between his arms. After a while, he raised his head. The corners of his eyes were faintly red. He might have cried, but nothing could be seen from his calm expression.

     The system’s eyes were red: its host had always been a person who could shoulder everything alone.

     “Host……”

     “Don’t worry, I’m not that fragile.” He said with a calm voice, “I will live well, not for anyone else, only for myself. I will not hurt myself easily or deprive myself of life in the future.”

     The system wiped away the tears and the host can cheer up. In the past, the host either lived a peaceful life without doing tasks, or held a golden finger and happily became a master. I don’t know why, but now there are many changes in the host.

     The system knew that he didn’t want to do the task, but for some reason, the task target was still attracted to him.

     The system also knew that the host hated the task and even hated itself. But to be honest, even so, it still likes its current host, and was even willing to make exceptions and violations for him. Maybe some people were born to be annoying.

     “I originally chose a modern society, but somehow something went wrong and I ended up in this place.” The system puffed up its cheeks. It had already found a world for the host to continue his career in the entertainment industry, but…

     “Fortunately, the plot and mission are still there. Host, please wait. I will pass on the original owner’s memory and plot to you.”

     The system imported memories and the plot. I don’t know if it’s because of the previous transmission experience, but An Yinong received it smoothly this time, with no adverse reactions at all.

     The original owner’s name was Tian Xi, he was sixteen years old, and he was a villager in Tianjia Village. The man just now was his father-in-law, and the young man was the son of his father’s brother, the original owner’s cousin.

     This cousin came to the house when the original owner’s mother was ill. At first, he was treated the same as the original owner. Once the original owner’s mother died, the two of them occupied the magpie’s nest.

     Because he inherited his surname, and because the fortune teller said that his nephew would be helped by a noble person in the future, the original owner’s father regarded his nephew as a real son, and beat and scolded the original owner, causing the original owner to be introverted and inferior.

     This time the original owner was beaten because he was too hungry and ate the food his father left for his cousin. Of course, none of this was important. They were just clowns who would leave the original owner’s life sooner or later. What matters is what happens next, the famine, the flight.

     According to the genre, this could probably be regarded as an ancient scholar’s novel. There were many handsome men and beauties in it, and the action scenes were very exciting.

     The protagonist of the plot was a scholar who was particularly attracted to handsome men and beautiful women. The entire plot could basically be divided into two parts. The first part was about natural and man-made disasters and escaping from famine, and the next part was about scientific examination and being an official.

     This little scholar named Huang, his family was originally a landlord. Later, he experienced a robbery, and he changed from a rich and landless young son of a small landlord to a man who fled from famine. Among the people fleeing the famine was the original owner. His father and his nephew took away all the family’s belongings, and the original owner had to flee alone.

     The small landowner and the original owner were classmates at first, and they had an ambiguous period of youth, and they exchanged letters. But later on, the original owner’s family fell into decline, and they stopped communicating with each other.

     At this time, two lonely people met again, and they both had tragic pasts, so they naturally came together, drew warmth from each other, and promised to be together forever. After experiencing countless hardships and obstacles on their way out of famine, they settled in a small mountain village and lived together.

     The original owner cultivated wasteland, worked hard and took care of the housework, so that the protagonist could study, and wanted to change his family name by taking the scientific examination. And the protagonist really succeeded.

     But the first thing he did after success was to marry the daughter of a squire. There were three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest of which was to have no descendants. He used this to convince the original owner and himself.

     However, these were all false. This man had many adventures and many beauties along the way. There were all the maids and servants who were relatively handsome at home, and there were no young ladies and scholars he met outside that he didn’t touch.

     After that, the protagonist easily won the first prize, abandoned his original wife and children and married the granddaughter of the prime minister’s family, becoming a winner in life.

     And the original owner, who had supported each other when they were young, felt ashamed and took the initiative to become the housekeeper of the family, letting others do whatever they wanted.

     Later, the protagonist’s political enemy found someone to kill him, and the original owner died for him. The protagonist suddenly and unreasonably “realized” that the person who died for him was the one who really loved him, and then he separated from his wife and concubines inexplicably and resigned. The official became a monk himself.

     An Yinong frowned. This ending was completely incomprehensible and illogical. Because the protagonist was very selfish in nature, and suddenly discovers that the dead person is his true love, and chooses to become a monk, which was not in line with the character.

     “Host, are you feeling better now?”

     An Yinong looked at the whip marks on the back of his hand and frowned: “It’s not good. The original owner has been hungry for too long, is malnourished, and may have anemia or other problems. But what’s more troublesome is his environment. This time, the second protagonist is asking the first protagonist to regret his whole life at the cost of disappearing?”

     “Yeah!” The system nodded wildly.

     He couldn’t help but sigh, what is all this?

     “…Xiao Qi, after you send me away in this life, you should find a host who can do tasks. Don’t waste your time on me.” An Yinong said seriously.

     System: “…Host, have you ever coaxed me before?”

     “Be more open-minded and bid farewell to the wrong, so that you can meet the right again.” Living a lifetime was enough. What mission? Sad and lung-damaging.

     An Yinong got up and looked around.

     There was no moisture at all in the surrounding fields, and the soil fell apart when picked up. It was almost impossible to tell that this was a field. The wheat grains inside were dry and flat, wilted by the sun, and a few grasshoppers were jumping around in them.

     The earth was like a steamer, and the yellow mist rising from the loess covered the world, with looming gray shadows. Since June last year, there hasn’t been a drop of rain. Without the moisture of water, these grains looked like pieces of paper. There were already signs of a locust plague and famine in the plot.

     Escape from famine, he carefully recalled the escape from famine in history, and the more he recalled it, the more desperate he became. How could an individual resist such natural and man-made disasters?

     “Are there any supplies for sale in the mall?” An Yinong asked. This life should be his last. Since he couldn’t bear to die, he should live well.

     The original owner’s physical condition was too poor and he had relatives who were holding him back. His success in escaping was a matter of luck. An Yinong didn’t want to rely on luck. If he didn’t use a golden finger in this situation, when would he use it?

     “Yes.” The system languidly lowered its head to rummage, and the next second its expression became distorted, “Where is my mall? What about a mall as big as mine? Who locked it for me?!”

     An Yinong: “…” Doubt.jpg.

     “Host, believe me! My mall is really locked!” Tears welled up in the system’s eyes. It frantically performed the bee figure dance and suddenly clapped its hands, “By the way, the rewards from your last world haven’t been unlocked yet. Maybe there’s something useful in there.”

     As it spoke it pulled out a crumpled piece of paper.

     “Because the task was completed perfectly and 100 regret points were obtained, the host received a thousand points and a lottery opportunity in the shopping mall. This lottery is time-sensitive and must be used in this world.

     “The host has also received emotional investment from other key characters, so with an additional three hundred points, you now have one thousand three hundred points.”

     “In addition, because the host’s singing has been universally recognized by humans in that world, he received the ‘Mermaid Bloodline’ as a gift from that world, permanently.”

     The system paused for a moment and focused on permanence: “This also means that this is not a one-time product. It will exist no matter which world the host goes to, or even the retirement world in the future. Of course, because it is permanent , so it won’t be an exaggerated ability.”

     After reading the description carefully, the system continued to explain: “The characteristics of ‘Mermaid Bloodline’ are, firstly, having a charming voice, secondly, being able to breathe underwater, and thirdly, having an affinity for aquatic creatures.”

     “So, the things in the mall are actually disposable? You seem to have never told me before.” An Yinong grasped the key point.

     “…Ahaha, you can’t say that. The things in the mall are indeed for single-world use, but they are diverse and powerful. The host can buy the most practical and targeted golden fingers based on the conditions of the single-world. “

     The system’s awkward smile disappeared from An Yinong’s sight, and it looked to its left: “By the way, does the host want to draw a lottery now?”

     An Yinong raised a hand: “Are you sure the mall can’t be used?”

     “Yeah.” The system was a little frustrated. This was the first time it had encountered this kind of thing.

     “Can you contact other systems? I need something that can survive future escapes, not an uncertain lottery ticket.

     “This thing can be a sufficiently abundant material, or it can be a substance that strengthens my body and enhances my physique.

     “So, could you help me ask if I can exchange the raffle ticket for something useful?”

     “Change?”

     The system clapped its hands in surprise: “That’s right! There is no mall, but you can exchange things for things. Host, how come your brain works so well?”

     It looked around and whispered: “Actually, this is not in compliance with the rules, but rules are dead and people are alive. I will go find those system hosts who are not satisfied with the lottery.”

     After the system disappeared, An Yinong had no time to wait. He patted the dust on his body and limped toward the center of the village, enduring the pain, where the only person in the village who could help him was there.

     Before starting the plot, first improve your own life, such as getting rid of the so-called ‘relatives’ who will only cause trouble.
