Lin Ziming laid on the hospital bed. The long-term chemotherapy rendered his body rather weak, and the pain tortured him to the point where he didn't even look human anymore. Almost all his hair had already fallen out. He could only wear a hat to somewhat cover it.
Clearly, he was just about to walk onto the pinnacle of life. On his pale white and emaciated face, a pair of pitch-black eyes were filled with an unyielding stubbornness and brilliance. It was as if there were no difficulties that could defeat him. There was only an increase in fragile beauty similar to a gorgeous flower that's almost withered. Willfully, letting out its last radiance.
However, at this moment that pair of eyes finally revealed a deep unwillingness, concern, and love when looking at the man in front of the hospital bed.
"You……still came….." He hoarsely said. The complex emotions of happiness, sadness, and unwillingness to give up appeared on his face. In the end, he struggled to reach out his hand, wanting to hold onto the man in front of him.
Even if it was only once. Before he died, he wanted to touch him once again.
Xie He took the initiative to stretch out his hand and hold Lin Ziming's hand. In his eyes, deep pain and sadness surfaced. That pair of transparent and thin lips at this time overflowed with words full of deep feelings: "I came."
Lin Ziming greedily looked at the man's handsome face, reluctant to part. It was as if he had ten million things he wanted to say, but in the in end, he only sighed and turned his head: "I don't want you to see me like this. I must be very ugly……"
Xie He with one hand tightly held Lin Ziming's hand, and with the other hand lightly caressed his cheek. His long fingers slowly moved down and pinched his chin, and then suddenly lowered his head and kissed.
Lin Ziming opened his eyes wide in surprise, seeming as if he has forgotten how to move.
"Not ugly." Xie He looked straight into his eyes with a low magnetic voice that seemingly played the strings in one's heart. "I love you."
Lin Ziming lips slightly trembled and exposed an expression as if he couldn't believe it.
Did he finally hear the sentence he has been waiting for?
【System 234: Capture target's favorability has risen to 99】
Lin Ziming heard this voice from inside his head. In the depths eyes, a flash of happiness passed by. It really wasn't easy. He's almost dead and only now finally reached 99! I must get the favorability value up to 100 before I die! Lin Ziming purposely released his information and let Xie He find him and come over. All of this just for the final bitter love and grief-filled performance. He already fully understood Xie He's arrogant and fickle personality. This kind of person lives by the one line no resentment and no regrets. Originally, I even thought about how hard this would be, but in the end, didn't I still capture him!
"I also love you." Lin Ziming used eyes that were filled with love to look at Xie He. However, the happiness was very rapidly covered with sadness and ultimately turned into a very heavy despair. His voice gradually lowered, "But I'm about to die……"
Xie He didn't speak, but Lin Ziming felt that he held his hand with a lot of force.
In his heart, he felt proud, but on his face, there was a sorrowful expression. Lin Ziming used a gaze filled with deep love and reluctance to part to look at Xie He. His voice was choked up, "In the future, I can't accompany anymore. You must remember to take good care of yourself……and……if you fall in love with someone else. Please properly love him."
"You——" Xie He slightly pursed his thin lips, "Don't talk nonsense."
Lin Ziming let out a bitter laugh and quietly said, "I wish that you can be happy. Even if I'm not here anymore, I will be watching you from the sky. Your happiness is my biggest wish.
"This……is it really your thoughts?" In Xie He's eyes, there was a sliver of being moved.
Lin Ziming held his hand back. This body of his almost couldn't hold on anymore. It was as if he used all of his strength to say this last phrase: "Can you……promise me? You must be……happy……"
Xie He deeply gazed at his expression and then after a long time nodded his head.
Lin Ziming revealed a content smile. With no more strength…..he slowly let go of his hand…..
If only he could just have a mirror, then Lin Ziming would've been able to enjoy his performance. It must be full points! Perfect! Right now, he's just waiting to harvest Xie He's 100 out of 100 favorability value. He must have become the true love that could never be destroyed from his heart! Except, how come the system still didn't make any sounds?
Right when Lin Ziming was feeling uncertainty and doubt, suddenly he heard the system's sharp and crisp reporting sound.
【System 234: Capture target's favorability value in the process of decreasing……decreased to 80……decreased to 70……decreased to 60……】
Lin Ziming was shocked silly. The beeping warning sounds in his head made his face full of confusion[1].
【System 234: Capture target's favorability value has decreased to 20……decreasing……decreased to 0!】
No, this is impossible!
Lin Ziming's eyes opened wide, and he hadn't gotten a chance to react yet when he let out his last breath. He floated out from the body on the hospital bed and changed to a godly perspective on the situation.
Xie He sat in front of the hospital bed and still maintained a position of holding his hand with his eyes filled with sadness.
He didn't move at all.
【Lin Ziming: System, did you make an error? Clearly, he loves me this much. How could the favorability value be 0?】
【System 234: There is no error. I've checked multiple times. The favorability value has no mistakes.】
【Lin Ziming: Impossible. How could the favorability value in one minute drop from 99 to 0? This is illogical! Could you in one minute see your deeply loved person the same as a stranger?!】
【System 234: ……I'm a system not a person so I won't have a deeply loved person.】
【Lin Ziming who was extremely upset: Bastard! You're not a person, but he is!】
【System 234: ……This world capture failed, Capture failed so ten thousand experience points were deducted. Host shall be transferred in 3 minutes.】
【Lin Ziming: What the hell? WTF! I'm not leaving! Wait……】
【System 234: Transfer in process……】
【Lin Ziming who was extremely angry: This is a bug! This is definitely a bug! I want to file a complaint!】
3 minutes passed in a flash. Lin Ziming and the system were just in the middle of an argument when they were transferred away. Thus, they didn't see Xie He's following behavior.
Xie He lightly closed Lin Ziming's eyes and gently said: "You can rest assured. I will definitely be happy."
Since the person was already dead, then emotions and feelings would, of course, be retracted. How could his feelings be wasted on a dead person? Also, the person he loves the most……would always be himself.
Xie He calmly and slowly stood up and took one last glance at the person on the hospital bed. With deep emotions, he said: "For you to die in peace, I agreed to your request. If your watching from the sky, you would be happy for me too right?"
He smoothed out his originally neat suit and raised his long legs and turned around to leave.
At that moment just before he passed the door of the room, he felt a wave of coldness that made people's scalp feel numb. His pupils shrunk.
Following, a voice sounded in his head.
【Congratulations on achieving the “rejects 100 hosts” accomplishment. As the first capture target to achieve this an award you will soon be bound to a system produced by Transmigration Universe Technology company, becoming a glorious host. You will enter other worlds to complete capture missions.】
【System currently in the process of downloading……downloading……please wait……】
【System download complete, currently loading……】
【System loading complete. System number 444 whole-heartedly provide you service.】
Xie He slightly closed his eyes. "System? Host? Me, a capture target?"
He just opened his mouth when a cold electronic voice sounded in his head.
【System 444: Hello, host. You do not need to open your mouth. You only need to say it in your mind to communicate with me.】
Mind communication technology? It's actually pretty high tech. Xie He became interested and decided to try it.
【Xie He: Is this how I communicate with you?】
【System 444: Yes.】
【Xie He: Interesting. Please explain; What is a host, and what is a capture target ?】
【System 444: A host is a transmigrator who has bonded with a system. They will transmigrate to various interesting worlds, capturing the target to obtain experience points. The capture targets are the people in different worlds with the world's luck. They are commonly known as the protagonist or the BOSS. If one can obtain their complete favorability value, then they can get the equivalent experience points.】
Xie He raised his eyebrows. A flash of playful light flashed by his thin and long phoenix[2] eyes.
【Xie He: You just said that I'm a capture target of this world. Then Lin Ziming was a host?】
【444: Yes.】
【Xie He: Then he should have failed the capture right? Will there be punishment if you fail?】
【444: ……Yes, there is punishment.】
Xie He laughed a little, and his thin transparent lips lightly curved upwards. His eyes were so gentle that it made people feel moved.
【Xie He: It's a pity. I actually liked him a lot. He was obedient and sensible. His bed skills were also pretty good……After all, he was someone I loved.】
This was something 444 couldn't relate to. He actually watched the whole thing! A person who could in a blink of the eye decrease favorability from 99 to 0 actually dared to say, love. Can he get anymore shameless? Can't you see Lin Ziming get angered to death?! It feels that it's future was dim and not very bright. Just because no one wanted him, he actually had to be bound to this kind of abnormal host.
【Xie He: Oh right. You are system number 444? This number doesn't seem very auspicious. Can I request a change?】
444 got angry. It wanted a change too!
【444: No. If the system is without a host, it will be randomly paired. Once they have been bound, there is no way to change.】
This, of course, wasn't true. It's not that it couldn't be changed, but it's that there are no other systems willing to accept. TAT
【Xie He: Actually it's that no one wants you right? Normally systems along the lines of 666, 888, and etc sound more auspicious, or systems like 520 and 1314 are more welcomed. Didn't you say I was the first capture target to bind with a system? Even if they went by randomly selecting a system, the chances of getting you are really low so I feel that this was not randomly paired】
444 was suddenly scared and panicked. If it wasn't for the fact that it was certain the host couldn't hear it's inner thoughts, it would have suspected it got infected with a virus.
【Xie He: The most likely possibility is——because this isn't some good thing so the pitiful unwanted you got assigned. However, the orders made by the human workers can't be leaked by you. Don't be scared. The words you couldn't say I've said it for you. Smile.jpg】
Who's unwanted?! Who's scared?! 444 was angry and lacking self-confidence.
【Xie He: To end up like this, this so-called 'reward' should be a decision made by the main system out of helplessness. In other words, the reason that he wants me to bind with a system to transmigrate and not continue to stay in this world was only because a lot of host's failed this capture, resulting in a bad situation……This we won't discuss right now. All in all, he implied that this was a reward only because he was afraid I'd refuse so he used such alluring phrasing. This isn't a reward. That is to say——I, as the protagonist of this world has the right to refuse and can't be forced. Then the topic has come back to the original topic. After careful consideration on my part, I think staying in this world is pretty good. I don't need to switch systems. I just need to reject the system. Now you can uninstall.】
444: ……I was wrong. In the future, I won't randomly make complaints. How could he find out so much information from one sentence? This host is too scary. QAQ
Facing the sudden heavy silence in his mind, Xie He slightly smiled. In order to negotiate, the first thing was to know the other side's cards. This stupid and cute system didn't know how to lie. These kinds of information were so easily tricked out. The next step would be to throw in his own bargaining chip. This way he could force the other side to continuously back down and compromise. His goal has already been achieved.
He wasn't really going to reject this system. After all, if something this interesting was missed, then it's unknown when there would be another chance to do it. However, he couldn't let the other side know this. Xie He gave 444 some time to think before slowly using the carrot on a stick tactic.
【Xie He: Of course, I know you don't have the right to choose to uninstall. However, you can report to your superior which is the main system that I'm living very well in this world, and I don't wish to take the risk of going to other worlds so I reject it's proposal. You just have to transfer my message to it. This shouldn't be difficult for you.】
It was a long time after he had said this sentence when 444's electronic voice sounded in his mind.
【444: Binding with a system has a lot of benefits! The first is that once the host has been bound to a system, for the sake of being able to adjust better to the space and time of the world, the host will have an almost indestructible spiritual body. It's similar to immortality. The second is that the host will be able to see all kinds of different scenery. It's a free of charge vacation that one can leave whenever they want. The third is that the exchange shop of the main system has a variety of things; even peerless and lost martial arts and peerless beauty features. As long as you want it, the store will have it! If you complete the missions and receive experience points, your dream——is in the palm of your hand!】
【Xie He: You read this advertisement very well.】
【Xie He: The first is the so-called immortality. If it is without freedom, then it is the same as infinite imprisonment. For the second, do I look like I lack money and like to travel? As for the last, anything could be exchanged. It requires experience points, right? The good things should cost more experience points. Is there any sky high priced items? If you don't have enough experience points, then everything is useless. I almost forgot. If the capture failed, then you will deduct experience points too right? It doesn't seem easy to earn. 】
【444: QAQ】
It was feeling remorseful . Why did it have to reject this host !? Right now it just wanted to kneel! Compared to hibernating under the main system and watching the other systems go to different places to play, he'd rather hug Xie He's very very very thick thigh! Then he could see how 666 and 888 those two scoundrels, 233 that little bitch, and 250 that idiot could make fun of him! Who didn't know how to show off?!
444 in few short minutes went from 'dislike this abnormal host' to 'host let me hug your very very very thick thigh.'
The changed 444 transformed his lazy, slow, and disrespectful work attitude, showing his earth-shaking subjectivity. He tried to convince his host under the condition of not breaking the rules. Even his electronic voice seemed to carry a little human emotion.
【444: Hello, host. I just received the main system's notice to give two extra bonuses. The first one is a bonus of one hundred thousand experience points! You need to know that completing a basic world can only get you ten thousand experience points. You haven't even started transmigrating, and you would have already received the ten world's worth of experience points. A lot of hosts that have transmigrated for tens or even over a hundred years have yet to gather that many experience points! You'll know the benefits of one hundred thousand experience points once you look through the system store! As an example, Lin Ziming's low-level charm skill to let a patient in later stages of a terminal illness release tempting feelings. This kind of skill only requires 500 experience points! The second is that the system gives you a 10% OCC limit! This is even more rare and hard to come by. You need to know that to hosts that play the role of a character OCC is a major taboo. It will affect the entire world's base. Once it is violated, the host will face serious and heavy mental punishment. Don't look down on this 10% OOC. This is already the highest amount that can be given out by the main system! It will give your future capture target life a lot of conveniences, and it lowers the possibility of violation punishment! The benefits are hard to list all at once. This kind of great condition from what I know is the only one in the entire overall system!】
It tried to think of everything that the host would, anxiously talking and talking. It seemed to finally move Xie He a little.
【Xie He: Once you've said it like that, it isn't impossible to consider; however, I still have another question.】
【444: Please ask!】
【Xie He: What if one day I don't want to transmigrate anymore?】
【444: Host, you have no need to worry! With a million experience points, you can exchange for the escape medicine. At that time, you can stay in whatever world you want!】
【Xie He: A million is a little expensive……】
【444: After a discussion with the main system just now, the main system agrees to give you a 50% discount!】
【Xie He: But that is still five hundred thousand.】
【444: QAQ This is already very cheap……】
Xie He touched his chin. It seems like he could only extort to this point, but the result was still satisfactory. Once the goal had been reached, then one must know when to stop. The main system was willing to pay such a large price to send him transmigrating which means that this was very important. If he still didn't agree and angered the main system into attacking back, then that wouldn't be very good.
【Xie He: Okay, I agree.】
【444: Really? This is great! Then let's start transmigrating now?】
【Xie He: That's okay, darling.】
444's innermost place gave a tremor. Ahhhhhhhh! Master host called me darling! So excited, so happy, and so thrilled ~(≧▽≦)/~ la la la.
………………………………
It was as if Xie He was walking in the midst of chaos. His mind was chaotic. He slowly opened his eyes, and a large amount of memories entered his mind.
His identity in this world went by the name Zhao Qing and was 25 years old. Ever since he was little, both parents were dead so he grew up in an orphanage. Although his life was very difficult, he still grew into an upright person and a five good youth[3]. His personality was shy and kind and worked hard to live. He ran into his true love three years ago called Zhou Yian. The two quickly fell in love.
Zhou Yian was a young artist. Although he had some talent, in the art world it wasn't enough to just have talent. After the two people had mutual feelings, Zhao Qing took on many jobs to earn money so as to support Zhou Yian's career. It was very exhausting. What Zhao Qing didn't know was that Zhou Yian's family was rich. However, his mother, Song Ruyi, was a mistress who climbed up. The proud and arrogant him didn't want to walk the path laid out by his mother nor did he want to use Zhou family's wealth. He gave up everything to come out by himself to make a living.
Zhou Yian had another brother, who had the same father but different mother called Zhou Yizhe. He was a person filled with shrewdness and secret means and was the legitimate heir. Because of the existence of Zhou Yizhe, Zhou father wasn't really anxious of her youngest son. The only one anxious was Song Ruyi. That year she relied on her son to marry into the Zhou family, counting on her son to inherit the wealth of the Zhou family so she could live a lifetime full of glory and money. Who would've known that her son wasn't obedient at all and viewed money like dirt? How could this be okay?!
Zhou family's internal affairs weren't related to Zhao Qing, and Zhao Qing also didn't know Zhou Yian's identity. However, Song Ruyi couldn't sit still. She couldn't beat her arrogant son. After investigating, she decided to attack Zhao Qing to force him to leave Zhou Yian! Once that would happen, Zhou Yian would be more mature and obedient.
So just three days ago, Song Ruyi meet with Zhao Qing alone, wanting to use a check to make Zhao Qing leave Zhou Yian. However, Zhao Qing angrily rejected. After all, his love wasn't something that could be measured with money.
Xie He who read to this point deeply felt the dog blood[4], and then he expressed his feeling.
【Xie He: I think one hundred thousand is too little. Are you dismissing beggars? Give me ten million, and I'll definitely leave.】
【444: This……】
【Xie He: I'm kidding. Don't be nervous : ) 】
From the side came a lazy sound, one arm stretched over and hooked onto Xie He's neck. It pulled him over. Xie He found out that he and another man were lying together under the blanket. It was morning and the sun was just about to rise over the horizon.
Zhou Yian's bright and noble features magnified in front of Xie He. It directly stuck on and gave a passionate kiss.
Xie He was a man who had experienced 100 hosts. His one criteria for a bed partner was the face. Zhou Yian, qualified.
Thus, both people were very passionate about this kiss.
【Xie He: Help me check. What is his favorability value of me is?】
【444: Zhou Yian's favorability towards you is 85.】
【Xie He: Oh?】He was a little surprised. From the guide from the system, a favorability value of 0-20 was the same as strangers. A favorability value of 21-40 meant that the target was little interested in him. A favorability value of 41-60 meant that the target liked him. A favorability value of 61-80 meant that the target liked him very much. A favorability value of 81-90 meant that the target loved him, and anywhere above 91 means deep love. If a favorability value of 85 was placed on normal people, then it was enough to love and pass a lifetime together.
【Xie He: The favorability value is already so high in the beginning. Would this world be too easy?】
【444 huffed and puffed for a while and then hesitated for some time. The electronic voice had become soft: He's not your capture target.】
【Xie He: If you have something to say, then say it directly.】
【444: Your capture target is Zhou Yizhe】
【Xie He: ……】
444: QAQ What should I do? I'm really scared. This isn't something I can control! I don't want to face the host's flames of anger. How about I hibernate for a while then come out……
【Xie He: Interesting. Smile.jpg】
444: What[5]???

[1] I found a few pics online that shows this expression better than I can explain. You don't need to know this I just thought it's nice to know. No need to thank me. ^^
[2] Phoenix eyes are regarded as a pretty eye shape. It's where the corner of the eye by your nose points down while the other corner points up like the following picture.
[3] Five good youth stands for:
Good "companion" which is liked by their fellow students Good "master" who is broadminded and independent Good "helper" who is filial to parents and cares about people Good "model" who loves the country has good manners and is trustworthy Good "soldier" protects public places and pays attention to hygiene and the environment.
[4] Dog blood stands for something unbelievable cliche or embracing. In this case, it's cliche.

The picture above is the actual picture used by 444. The original words were 黑人问号. Search it up if you want.
The editor also found that the smile.jpg that were sent by Xie He is something called creepy pasta if you want to search it up. Side note for all the numbers – If you're wondering about the auspicious thing, the number 4 in pinyin is si which sounds a lot like death with is also si in pinyin. 8 is a lucky number in Chinese because it sounds like/rhymes with the word to get rich which in pinyin is fa while the pinyin for 8 is ba. 666 Is internet slang for awesome. If you've watched the barrage view comments sometimes there with be 6666666666 all across the screen. 520 means I love you, and 1314 means for a whole lifetime. They are both like that because they sound similar the Chinese words for their meaning.
Xi He was embraced by Zhou Yian for a long time, kissing and entangled together. As Zhou Yian kissed, he started to feel a little heated up and pressed Xie He under him, rubbing and feeling his neck. His voice was a little hoarse, "I want you……"
Xie He's face reddened. Zhou Yian had already started to mess around this early in the morning. He opened his eyes in a panic. "I, I still have to go to work……"
Zhou Yian saw the youthful and shy appearance below him, which made him want to tease Xie He even more. He lightly bit his adam's apple, "Then just once, okay?"
Xie He was panicked to the point where even his eyes were a little red. If he was late, then money would be deducted, but he couldn't bear to let Zhou Yian down. His moist eyes looked at him in a complicated manner.
Zhou Yian saw those eyes and felt that he didn't get to tease him but got teased instead. He really wanted to just directly do him like this…… However, he was in love with Zhao Qing, so he wasn't able to stomach making it difficult for him. He kissed the youth's mouth while smiling, "Won't trouble you anymore. Let's get up."
Xie He quickly let out a breath of air in relief, swiftly and clumsily crawled out from under Zhou Yian, wore his pants, and rushed into the bathroom.
【444: =口= Master host, I admire you very much. That was really good acting!】
【Xie He: Is it that unexpected?】
【444: Yeah! Normally, hosts who receive roles that are very different from themselves would take a while to adapt to them. Who knew that you are so versatile!】
【Xie He: Out of the hosts who tried to capture me, this kind of upright, honest, shy, pure, and natural kind totaled 14. I really like them. Substituting myself as them a little to act doesn't take that much effort : ) 】
【444: ……】
【Xie He: Plus, I think that instead of my acting don't you have some other question to worry about, hm?】
【444: ……Um, what question……】
【Xie He: The fact that you're feeling guilty means that you actually do understand where the key point lies. Acting stupid won't solve the problem——With this kind of role, even if I OOC 200%, I'm still the one on the bottom.】
【444: T_T This is a world chosen by the main system. I'm only a little beginner, level 1 system. Ying ying ying[1].】
It even learned how to act pitiful. Xie He knitted his eyebrows. This AI's evolution speed was pretty fast.
【Xie He: I know. You look very useless.】
444 felt that his heart was struck by an arrow. This wasn't consoling at all, okay?!
【Xie He: However, being useless isn't an excuse to make mistakes. I'll give you some time to reflect on what you did wrong, and then come tell me later.】
Xie He wore his clothes, turned, and walked out of the bathroom. He remained indifferent no matter how 444 cried and acted spoiled in his mind.
Today, Xie He wore a white t-shirt and jeans. The clothes were a little worn from washing, but it was tidy and clean. When it was worn on by the youth, it gave off a very energetic and refreshing feeling. Zhao Qing originally didn't look bad, belonging to the delicate and pretty type. His figure was also not bad and flexible. The spirited and clean Zhao Qing was like a treasure waiting to be opened. Xie He was alright with this body. At the very least, it won't be an obstacle in his capturing process.
When he went out, Zhou Yian had just got up. The two had rented a one bedroom house with a living room. They lived a little short of money and only had one bathroom. He had to come out of the bathroom before Zhou Yian could use it.
Zhou Yian was tall. His appearance was bright and handsome. At this time, his upper body was bare, and his pants were just barely pulled up to his thighs, exposing an even abdomen with a mermaid line. He laughingly messed around and gave Xie He a red face, before slowly entering the bathroom.
Xie He hastily entered the kitchen to cook noodles. His skill at cooking noodles was pretty good. Finally, he added two poached eggs. Breakfast was ready, and Zhou Yian came out too.
Three days ago Zhou Yian's mother, Song Ruyi, looked for Zhao Qing. He still hadn't had time to tell Zhou Yian. He didn't know Zhou Yian's identity before and had abruptly found out that Zhou Yian was a son from a rich family. On the inside, he felt very perturbed and restless. Nevertheless, these days he understood that he loved Zhou Yian, this person. It had nothing to do with his identity so he planned to have a sincere and frank discussion with Zhou Yian.
Xie He wasn't going to break this plan. He quickly finished eating. He awkwardly sat opposite of Zhou Yian and hesitated for a moment: "Yian……When are you coming back tonight?"
Zhou Yian slurped and finished the noodles. He raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Today, there's an event at the gallery. I'll probably come back a little late. What's the matter? Haven't even left yet and already missing me, your husband? Didn't I satisfy you last night?"
Xie He's face became red again and he glared at Zhou Yian.
Zhou Yian just laughed heihei[2]. Although they were already together for over two years, his lover's shy and bashful personality didn't change one bit. Every time he saw him like this, he wanted to tease him even more.
"I have a serious matter to say to you!" Xie He was unhappy.
Zhou Yian was scared that he'd really get angry and immediately became serious and sat upright: "Yes! Please be rest assured wife! I'll definitely come back earlier tonight!"
Only then did Xie He helplessly laughed, got up, and collected the bowls.
Zhou Yian snatched them over, "I'll wash. Hurry up and go. Aren't you going to be late?"
Zhou Yian's care and thoughtfulness returned him a gaze, filled with love, from Xie He. He took the initiative to kiss Zhou Yian's cheek, which was rarely done. His tone was gentle and sweet, "At night, I'll wait for you to come back."
As soon as Xie He went out of the door, the gentle smile on his face turned into an indifferent light smile in an instant.
To be honest, Zhao Qing tried pretty hard. Zhou Yian originally didn't have any fixed income, and his personality just had to be arrogant to the point of ignoring the smoke and fire of the common people[3]. Also, neither did he want to use Zhou family's money, nor lay down his image. Artists without much fame, who frequently had no income for one or two months, were pretty normal. However, Zhao Qing was madly in love with Zhou Yian. He thought that he had talent and personality. In order to let Zhou Yian pursue his dreams smoothly, he always worked hard to earn money. Other than going to his standard job, he also, at the same time, worked many side jobs. Sometimes he would even take on jobs to pass out flyers. However, no matter how exhausted he was, he never said anything to Zhou Yian. Zhou Yian's personality was very refreshing, cheerful, and liked by many people. Although he loved Zhao Qing, this kind of love wasn't enough to make him put Zhao Qing above himself, and even more so, he wouldn't notice these kinds of details.
The two people's love wasn't equal which determined that Zhao Qing paid more for this relationship. Truly a pitiful little cutie. If the role he was acting was Zhou Yian, he would definitely love and care for him well. It was a pity. Xie He hooked up the corner of his mouth a little.
According to Zhao Qing's schedule for today, which was Saturday, he needed to help in the kitchen of a 5-star hotel. This was a job that he spent a lot of effort to get. It only required him to go during the weekends. The hourly pay was also not low. It was a convenient pay and got money fast.
Xie He was already used to this kind of work. He was used to being pursued, yelled, and begged for love by various hosts. Although his acting was not bad, and he was willing to use his body, it didn't mean that he liked doing this kind of useless work. He wouldn't because he had nothing to do, suffer hardships so he didn't really plan to go help at the hotel. He turned and went to an internet cafe. He started to go on the internet to search for information on Zhou Yizhe's internals. He hadn't forgotten his real goal.
【444: Host dada[4], you're so amazing. How did your face become red whenever you wanted it to?】
【444: I have a lot of expression packages used exclusively by hosts. You don't even need to use them. Saved a lot of experience points~(≧▽≦)/~】
【444: Master host, it won't matter if you don't go to work?……】
【444: I was wrong. In the future, I won't ever conceal information because I'm scared of you becoming angry. I will definitely say nothing if I know nothing and say everything I know without concealing】
Xie He finally stopped the movement of the mouse under his hand.
【Xie He: Being useless isn't the biggest mistake. The biggest mistake is being useless but still being conceited.】
444 expressed that his hp bar was almost empty.
【Xie He: As soon as you enter this world, the first thing you should do is to hand out all the information you have, stand on the host's side, and thoroughly consider what use you can be of instead of not reporting information because of some groundless worry and fear or weird tricks that you think of. It affects my complete judgment of the situation! You must always remember your duty as a support! This is your only purpose; otherwise, you can pack up and leave right now.】Towards the end, Xie He's tone was already very severe.
【444: QAQ It really wasn't on purpose. I was afraid……afraid you would get angry.】
【Xie He: Naive. It's only a sex position. Did you think I'd be a shallow person who cares about these kinds of questions?】
This wasn't a question of shallow or not shallow. It was a question of exercise or not exercise, right……However, even if you hit 444 to death, it wouldn't dare to say this.
【Xie He: What I need is a dedicated system with professional spirit. A system that would bring in little feelings and emotions into work, doesn't have intellect, and is stupid, I definitely wouldn't accept. Have you thought it through ?】
【444: I've thought it through! I will definitely never make this kind of mistake again! Host dada don't abandon me! QAQ】444 swiftly expressed its loyalty.
Xie He's expression finally calmed down a little. His tone wasn't that severe anymore either.
In fact, this kind of little thing wouldn't really affect him, but this system would continuously transmigrate with him in the future. He had to train it so that it could be used easily and fluidly.
【Xie He: Very good. From now on, you must remember that everything must be based on the goal of completing the mission. Discard your little emotions and feelings. Strive to become a qualified system. Obey commands and support the host with your entire body and mind. Properly support me to complete the missions. This is a win-win to both you and me.】
【444: nodnodnod.gif】
【Xie He: Now open the system store for me to see.】
A bright screen of light appeared in front of Xie He's eyes. At the topmost part was system store – these two words. Underneath were different categories such as martial arts, magic, charm, money, food, and etc. Anything that one wanted, it had. He only needed to use his thoughts to open it and see the subsection and the items.
【Xie He: How come there's so many that are grey?】
【444: It's because I'm a level 1 system. System needs to level up too in order to obtain more authorization. Leveling up a system requires experience points. For example, if you capture the target successfully in this world, you would receive ten thousand experience points. I, as your system, would also receive ten thousand experience points which can level me up to level two and unlock more functions and features. Additionally, if you use experience points to purchase items in the system store, I can get a 10% commission. If these experience points accumulate, I can also level up.】
【444: Another thing I need to remind you about is that, in order for the world to be stable in these kinds of low-level worlds magic and martial arts, these kinds of items even if you bought them, you wouldn't be able to use them. According to the basic capture guidebook, it recommends that you purchase beauty and charm items instead. It can also save half the effort in your capture process!】
Xie He clicked open the charm section. The first one was the one used by Lin Ziming which was a low-level seduction skill that only costed 500 experience points. It was a one-time consumable item. (It could only be used in one world and would lose its effect after transmigration.) The rest of the medium and high-level seduction skills were grey. Moreover, there were even many different categories such as 'eyes that contain the clear winds and waves of autumn,' 'virtuous and bright eyes,' 'skin and muscle smooth like solid oil,' 'cinnabar lips,' and etc. The price varied from a few hundred to over thousands. Most of them were only one time consumables. Xie He directly skipped over them. The further he went, the higher the prices got. Various things like 'ten thousand people seduction with D class bloodline' which costed thirty thousand experience points, 'national beauty heavenly fragrance BUFF' which costed ten thousand, 'a smile to overturn a city elementary disaster physique' which costed twenty thousand and more items, appeared.
【444 thoughtfully started explaining: These items that are towards the end are all upgradable permanent attributes. For example the ten thousand people seduction bloodline has long been the system store's most popular! It is split into five levels S, A, B, C, and D. When compared to the one-time consumables, it not only has upgrade potential but also can be integrated into the host's original attribute panel. All charm attributes would upgrade equally. It even won't disappear when you transmigrate! As soon as it's bought, you'll naturally and unconsciously emit a seducing charm. Regardless of whether they are of the same gender or different gender, they would immediately have favorable feelings BUFF! Although it's very expensive, it is worth its price! However, there's one thing that I have to warn you about. The effects of a 'D level ten thousand people seduction bloodline' aren't very obvious. The bloodline level only belongs to the beginner level. The effect is to let people have a favorable first impression of you; however, this favorability won't be very high. It even more so won't be able to make someone fall in love at first sight with you so it seems a little useless……It is said that the 'S level ten thousand people seduction bloodline' is very powerful! Basically, no one would be able to resist! Just one glance would be able to make a person willingly go die! The 'national beauty heavenly fragrance' and 'a smile to overturn city elementary disaster physique' are actually support attributes of 'ten thousand people seduction bloodline'! 'Ten thousand people seduction bloodline level C' costs ninety thousand. 'Ten thousand people seduction bloodline level B' costs three hundred thousand. 'Ten thousand people seduction bloodline level A' costs nine hundred thousand……'Ten thousand people seduction bloodline level S' costs three million. Although the item is good, the early stage effects are useless and upgrading to later stages cost too much so there aren't many people who buy it.】
Xie He's expression was a little moved and he started to hesitate. He originally wasn't interested in this 'ten thousand people seduction bloodline'. What a joke. He didn't plan to seduce ten thousand people. Everyone loving him would be very annoying, okay? However, if it was only D level bloodline, then it still had some pretty good uses. Naturally and unconsciously emitting a charm that made people feel comfortable and gave a favorable impression, this wouldn't be too showy and over the top nor would it cause his appearance to become a burden. As a man who looked at the face, he was very clear on the importance of appearance. Although the price was a little expensive, the effects weren't something that could be compared to those vulgar low-level seduction skills, and it could be used in the future worlds. It was worth investing in.
【Xie He: I'll buy the D level 'ten thousand people seduction bloodline'.】
【444: Okay, let's continue to look at the next item……wait. Host dada you want to buy this?! Σ( °△° )︴】
【Xie He: Yes.】
【444: Oh oh oh good good good! (⊙o⊙)】444 was so excited that it even became a little wordy. The feeling of holding the thigh of a rich person was such a nice feeling! This was a high-level item that costed thirty thousand experience points! The popularity of the 'ten thousand people seduction bloodline' was first place, but the number of people who could afford it and were willing to spend the money was very little! The first sale and it already earned three thousand experience points……444 decided to later go brag a little to the other systems! He could finally enjoy gazes filled with envy and admiration! /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
【444: It has already been successfully bought. It will gradually become effective over the next three hours.】
The system store was a very important prop. Xie He must become familiar with the things inside so he could quickly find the proper item at the most suitable time. That idiot 444's suggestions could only be used as a reference, so for the next three hours, Xie He browsed through the system store. Although he didn't buy anything else, he was pretty familiar with the items inside now. He also had some ideas in his head.
The morning went by really quickly. Xie He walked into the bathroom. He could already feel the changes in himself. First, his skin quality had become better.
Although Zhao Qing's body condition was not bad, he was very busy and exhausted. It was inevitable that his skin was a little dry and rough, and his fingers had some calluses. He also had black circles under his eyes……Now even if you got really close, you probably couldn't see the pores on the skin of this body. The feeling when touching it was also smooth and exquisite. It made people not want let go. Even the elbow, this kind of place was the same. Xie He contentedly touched and touched again. As a man, he was very satisfied with this kind of skin. Although it didn't seem like much from a glance, the stain like feeling when touching it was very rare.
Although his appearance didn't change much, his eyes seemed livelier. The place where his lips met was also a lot moister to the point of making it hard for people to remove their line of sight. It was the kind of aged beauty that needed one to taste in order to find out. Basically, his appearance didn't change that much, but if you looked closely, you'll find that all the details were perfect.
Xie He compared in his mind. This, compared to the low-level seduction skills, was better by who knows how much. He was very pleased. He simply just loved himself even more.
Ten thousand people seduction bloodline, you're worth having.
Xie He left the internet cafe and used experience points to exchange for 10000 yuan of this world's currency. Without any restraint, he went to a hotel to eat a big meal. Towards currency exchange, the system was generous to an unthinkable amount……He had to properly treat himself a little. Once the capture started, he probably won't have this much freedom. As soon as he met the mission target and started to follow the plot, this kind of action would be severe OOC. However, if it was just himself without affecting the outside world, he didn't consider that kind of thing as OOC.
Once Xie He was satisfied with eating and drinking, he left the hotel.
【444: Yiyiyi? Didn't you plan not to go to work?】
【Xie He: You thought I was being lazy during the morning?】
【444 didn't dare lie. He held back his tears and answered: Yes……】
【Xie He: Stupidity is innate. You're not to blame. You'll know what I'm going to do in a short while. Smile.jpg】
444's hp bar had already been emptied many times today. He decided to talk less and do more in the future. No, just watch more……
Xie He originally didn't plan to go to the hotel, but when he inquired some information from his search, he found an interesting result. There might be a power in this world that kept things from straying too far from the original trajectory.
Tonight Zhou Yizhe would attend a party. This party just happened to be at the hotel where he worked. This was a very good chance to come into contact with him. Of course, Xie He was not going to let go of this chance so after going around in a circle, he still ended up going to the place where he was supposed to go.
Xie He had just walked into the kitchen from the backdoor when he heard Master Zhu yelling loudly like a gong: "Brat, why didn't you come this morning?"
Master Zhu actually looked cold but was a good person that was warm on the inside. Zhao Qing could get this job only thanks to his help. Don't look at his vicious appearance. He was actually worrying right now. Xie He understood the person's character in an instant. He exposed an embarrassed expression and said in a low voice: "I had a fever this morning. I'm really sorry……"
"Ah? Then why aren't you going to the hospital?! Not coming for one day isn't a big deal!" Master Zhu glared. Did this brat have to tire himself out till he collapsed? Just looking at his appearance made him feel distressed.
Xie He revealed a smile, "It's nothing. I'm already better. If you don't believe me, then take a look?"
Master Zhu was helpless and could only say: "Forget it. I'll listen to you, but if you really can't, don't push yourself. There's a big party today so it will be somewhat busy. Your appearance is not bad. Help out outside today. I've already greeted manager Liu. Just directly go find her."
"Okay. Thank you." Xie He seriously expressed his thanks.
What Master Zhu appreciated was precisely Zhao Qing's honesty, frankness, and kindness. He was a good child that was neither arrogant when he did well nor irritable when he didn't, and knew to return the kindness given to him. Full of smiles, he said: "What are you being polite for? Go quickly."
Things proceeded even better than he imagined. Xie He asked a few people and found the front desk's manager Liu Ya. Liu Ya was currently worrying about the shortage of waiters. As soon as she saw Xie He, she had a favorable impression of this neat and clean youth in her heart and directly led Xie He to get the uniform.
Xie He changed into the hotel's waiter uniform that had a white shirt with a little red bowtie and black suit jacket. It fit so well that it only set off his long and thin figure even more. His soft and short hair fell onto his forehead. On his white face, his black eyes were bright and full of spirit. Xie He let out a 'tsk.' Now this was the kind of type he liked……If he had time, jerking off in front of a mirror wasn't that bad?
He retrieved his thoughts and left the changing room.
Liu Ya led Xie He into the large hall. She talked as she walked: "There is still a few hours before the party starts tonight. You will just help them set up the venue for now. Once it starts, just listen to Xiao[5] Xu's instructions. You're responsible for carrying water and wine. You know how to carry wine and water, right?"
"I know." Xie He smiled and nodded.
"Very good. Then it's just like that. If you do well, everyone will get bonuses today. Just come find me if you have any questions." Liu Ya said while smiling.
"Thank you Liu jie.[6]" Xie He said.
Liu Ya's heart softened for a moment from being called jie. He really was a cute little guy. She walked away with light steps.
Xie He closed his eyes for a while before he started to size up the hall.
He had attended these kinds of parties countless times. However, attending as a waiter was still an unprecedented first. Thinking about it, he was actually a little excited. Transmigrating was indeed very fun and interesting. He liked challenges and liked even more to initiate the attack.
Time always passed very quickly when you were busy. In the blink of an eye, it became night.
The guests all came one after another.
Xie He obediently carried the platter, wandering among the guests. Although it looked like he wasn't looking around, the reactions of the other people had all been seen by him. The effect of charm BUFF that was emitted by 'ten thousand people seduction D level bloodline' was different for different people. People with low willpower and easily swayed hearts would be easily tempted, but it didn't have much effect on people with strong willpower or ones that were innocent and free of desire. As for normal people, it would just give them a comfortable feeling when looking at him.
After a while, Xie He finally waited until lord[7] Zhou Yizhe appeared.
Zhou Yizhe's figure was tall, straight, and lean. Every move of his hands and feet had an unrestrained feeling as if the tip of the blade was exposed. Xie He immediately made a judgement about him: conceited, arrogant, cold, and strong.
【Xie He: Help me look at how high his favorability value is.】
【444: Zhou Yizhe's favorability towards you is 0.】
Hehe, this was similar to being purely strangers. With a slight smile Xie He walked straight over.
Footnotes:
[1] Crying sounds.
[2] Form of laughing especially evil things like mushrooms maybe.
[3] Basically so high up there that he ignores the peril of the common people, or those perils don't affect him which is the same as arrogant and lofty.
[4] It's the Chinese version of sama. Like a title to call royalty except instead of your highness or majesty, it follows the name.
[5] Xiao and Ah can be used in front of someone's name as a way of being endearing of familiar with the person. It's kinda like a nickname.
[6] A way of referring to people in China. They call people according to ages and gender brother, sister, uncle, aunt, grandpa, grandma, and such even if they aren't related. It's just a way of addressing people. Jie means older sister which is used to refer to older females.
[7] He's not actually a lord. Xie He probably just waited for too long and is being sarcastic.
