Walking the Path of a Workaholic in Cliché Novels (QT) Chapter 98

“I’m fine.” An Yinong suppressed his growing hatred and continued to review the plot.

The protagonist was named Wen Long, the adopted son of Xie Jiu, a rising star in the business world. However, Xie Jiu died after the plot began, leaving the protagonist with a lot of legacy and manpower, just like a tool man who gave experience and equipment in the game. Later, Wen Long began to develop himself with these resources and connections.

So this was a bloody drama where a domineering young master fell in love. At the beginning of the story, Wen Long fell in love with Zhang Ming, a poor boy with excellent character and academic performance, and had been silently protecting him in the dark.

However, his protection attracted the attention of someone whom he had offended before. In order to protect his sweetheart, Wen Long, who was just an ordinary adopted son at the time, decided to find a shield. He carefully selected and chose the original owner, and created a good drama of a hero saving a beauty to make the original owner trust him.

Although it was not mentioned in the plot, one can draw a conclusion here that Wen Long did not dare to bring the fact that he liked men to the table, nor did he dare to use the power of his adoptive father to protect his lover (Xie Jiu was not dead at this time).

In summary, they were too weak, in terms of character, ability, and resources. They were weak in every aspect. In addition, he would like to emphasize here that Wen Long’s sweetheart knew about this matter, and the candidate was provided by Zhang Ming.

Because he inadvertently became a shield for others, the original owner experienced incidents of abduction and kidnapping, and was cruelly tortured. He almost collapsed and finally became mentally ill. It was also at this time that Wen Long realized that he was a child of the He family. Even if he was not very smart and would not inherit the family business, he was not a tool that could be used at will.

Then, very suddenly, the protagonist ‘woke up’ and felt that he had fallen in love with the original owner during their time together. So he sent his first love abroad, and then came to find the original owner. After a good show, he got the He family’s forgiveness, and then established his own business empire with the support of the He family. Finally, he lived a happy and joyful life.

An Yinong took a deep breath and said, “You know I learned fighting skills before, and I also learned ancient martial arts in my previous life. If I accidentally cut off someone’s limbs, it would be normal, right?”

“Host, calm down. The original owner has not yet confirmed her relationship with Wen Long, so you should just avoid him in the future.”

Avoid? That was not enough. An Yinong sneered: Even if the background of this era was special, criminals should be locked up and disciplined. Were all normal male protagonists dead? Why write about such a psychopath?

“The mission is to make the scumbag regret it?”

“Yes, this is very simple for the host. Hehe, thank you for your hard work, host.” With the host’s physique, tasks will always come to the door on their own, the system thought.

An Yinong knew what the system was thinking. Its emotions were reflected on its face. He didn’t need to guess. He could tell at a glance. However, he was tired of this kind of thing. He should just physically exorcise that kind of rubbish. Why should he regret it?

“Why didn’t you let the original owner come by himself? His conditions are very good. As long as we tell him in advance, Wen Long wouldn’t dare to touch him.”

An Yinong was very puzzled. Before, ‘Ke Yinong’ and ‘Tian Xi’ were both ordinary people who could not resist evil forces and natural disasters, but ‘He Tiantong’ was a third-generation rich young master. Why couldn’t he do it himself?

“Let me take a look at the mission description… The original owner said he didn’t want to be an idiot anymore.” said the system.

“…”

“Wait a minute!” The system’s expression became serious. “The mission description shows that the host is the third person to receive this mission. The previous two people both failed. Strange, how could this happen? The target of this mission is not a very difficult person to deal with.”

An Yinong recalled the plot. Wen Long was taken in by Xie Jiu but he was ungrateful. As soon as he died, he couldn’t wait to seize Xie Jiu’s property. He was moved when he was with the original owner, but he still watched the original owner being kidnapped with indifference.

“Does he have any personality disorder?” he suddenly thought. It was rare to see someone who was so selfish to the extreme.

The plot was extremely confusing. There seemed to be nothing wrong with him, but upon closer analysis, Wen Long could be so calm and cruel simply because he did not love anyone, he only loved himself. Even if he ended up being with the original owner, it wasn’t because of “regret”, but because of the original owner’s background and the fact that he was “simple and easy to control”.

Thinking in this way, it was normal for the previous two hosts to fail in their missions. Their operations might impress an ordinary person with a bad temper, but they could never defeat “mental illness”.

“So, I can get rid of him?” An Yinong narrowed his eyes.

“Host, are you smiling?” The anxious system turned around and saw the host’s smiling face, which was filled with joy from the bottom of his heart.

An Yinong leaned lazily against the wall: “What do you think I should do in my last life? How about continuing to sing? I just don’t know if my voice is suitable. If not, I can just write songs.”

The last life?

“……Eh?” Tears fell from the system, “Host, you don’t want me anymore?”

“Yeah.” Smile.

The system was hit hard, but it was an old system with many mission experiences, so it quickly recovered:

Given the host’s physique that particularly attracted extreme lunatics, it was hard to say whether the mission would be accomplished in the end. In his previous life, Gu Yu helped him to clear all those bad peach blossoms in the dark, but there wouldn’t be any in this life, right? What if the target of this mission was also a psychopath who won’t leave even if he’s beaten and dragged backwards?

“By the way, host, the mission reward has not yet been announced.”

The recovered system came up and said, “Because you completed the task perfectly and received 100 regret points, the host received 1,000 points and a chance to win a prize in the mall. The host also received gratitude from many people, so he received an additional 800 points. You now have 3,100 points.”

“Oh.” An Yinong was calm and determined not to worry about the task.

The system was still happily reading out the rewards: “In addition, because the host’s actions have been strongly recognized by the humans of that world, the ‘mermaid bloodline’ has been upgraded to ‘Disney princess bloodline’ permanently.”

“What?” An Yinong thought he had heard it wrong. How could such an incredible term appear?

“‘Disney Princess blood’, even though the name was strange, it is a physique that many people dream of.”

The system thought An Yinong was interested and immediately acted like a salesman: “There are three specific points about the physical constitution: One, you are a treasure, and disasters sharpen your starlight. Second, you are a counter-current person. In times of crisis, the energy you possess is the limit of the pain you can endure. Third, you are a friend of all living things. When you calm down, you can listen to the voices of animals and talk to them.”

“The more advanced the physique, the more unpredictable it is. But judging from the literal meaning, the crisis you encounter in your life can be solved. The host’s animal-friendly characteristics are still there, and have been expanded from ‘aquatic life-friendly’ to ‘living creature-friendly’, and it is possible to hear the ‘voice’ of animals. As for the first point, well…”

The system thought for a long time and shook its head: “I don’t understand, but it shouldn’t be a bad thing.”

“That’s not bad.” The name was strange, but judging from the description, it didn’t affect his life too much. An Yinong nodded and accepted it well.

“Of course it’s good. This kind of world reward is the ‘permanent golden finger’ that all hosts want. So, does the host use the mall lottery ticket now?” the system asked expectantly.

“Can I not use it?”

“Eh? Why? Don’t waste something that’s free.”

“I don’t need it.” The system’s golden finger is addictive. An Yinong was not sure if he could resist the temptation of getting everything by just lying down and become a real ‘host’ after using it too much. Since the world was not in an era of war and there was no danger of famine, what was the use of having a golden finger?

The system scratched its head. It had never seen a human being stranger than its host. It refused the cheat code that was delivered to his door: “But even if you don’t use it, it will be used automatically when the time comes. At least if you use it yourself, you can have some initiative?”

An Yinong: …even more suspicious. He reached out and took the lottery ticket: “How do I use it?”

“Just tear it up.”

The torn paper turned into black particles in the air, quickly gathered into a mark, and fell on the back of An Yinong’s hand, and then a description appeared in his mind.

“Shadow Puppet, you will have a puppet that has all your abilities and obeys your commands.”

“The damage he suffers will not return to his original body, and he can never be completely killed unless his original body dies. When you don’t need it, it is your shadow. When you do, it is your best weapon.”

He looked down at the faint shadow under his feet, and the shadow seemed to be looking at him. A very practical golden finger, especially when he thought about the poor public security in this world and the original owner’s experience of being kidnapped.

At the same time, it also reminded An Yinong.

“I think I need to pick up all the martial arts I learned before and learn shooting.” He couldn’t put his life and property on luck and golden fingers.

Not long after, the bell rang and the students rushed out of the classroom.

An Yinong, who was immersed in his own world, immediately cheered up and made his face full of “unhappiness”. This was the original owner’s usual expression. He hated everything in school, hated those textbooks, hated those classmates and teachers.

Metaphysics was prevalent in Hong Kong, so he had to imitate the original owner’s appearance, otherwise he would be suspected of being “possessed by evil spirits”.

“He Tiantong from the next class is standing outside again? What’s the reason today? Did you write 6 and 9 wrong? I never made mistakes when I was in kindergarten. Hey, He Tiantong, how does it feel to stand outside in the wind?” People from the next class also came out and talked to him with a smile.

“You’re curious, do you want to stand here too?” An Yinong leaned against the wall and responded casually.

“Hiss.” The original owner’s voice was naturally very ‘milky’. Even such sarcastic words were softened by this voice and sounded like a spoiled child. There was no momentum at all. He was a little uncomfortable with it.

“Do you want to fight?” The person who was the first to speak badly was now angry.

“He who teases first is the meanest.” An Yinong frowned, thinking of these people’s endless provocations. This was one of the reasons why he hated this school – a bunch of annoying flies circling around him.

Another person appeared among them and pretended to stop the fight, but he only came to persuade An Yinong, as if he was the one who was being unreasonable and looking for trouble.

“He Tiantong, please calm down. You’re the one who’s always here every day. How come others can live in peace?” Li Zhongke spoke with a helpless expression.

That expression flickered in An Yinong’s sight, and countless rational voices buzzed in his ears. His nerves were aroused, and veins on his forehead bulged.

“It’s so annoying and disgusting. Can I kill all these nasty flies?” An Yinong couldn’t help thinking.

“Xiao Qi,” he forced himself to suppress the irritation in his heart, “Is this the original owner’s emotion?”

“Yes, once the conditions are triggered, the original owner’s emotions will directly affect the host.”

“It will take three months to disappear?”

“In theory, yes.”

An Yinong, who didn’t want to fight to vent his anger like the original owner, took a deep breath. He was about to go back to the classroom when he suddenly felt a malicious gaze in the crowd.

After scanning the crowd, he saw the biggest beneficiary, ‘Zhang Ming’, the protagonist of the story, and his stepmother’s nephew. He looked fair and handsome, and looked like a well-mannered gentleman, but his eyes cannot hide his jealousy and hatred.

An Yinong really doubted the vision of the “domineering young master”. Either he was blind or he was born with poor aesthetic taste.

“Don’t worry, even if his aunt becomes your stepmother, he can’t do anything to you. Humph, in the end he even lost his sweetheart, he is just a loser.” The system comforted An Yinong.

An Yinong glanced at the system and said, “That rubbish sweetheart? Forget it. Leave it to this ‘poor but determined student’.”

A ‘loser’ who has everything but no love? Too ironic. And that stepmother…it makes him feel sick just thinking about her. How can we solve it all at once?
