Ch. 1 – The Most Enthusiastic Host

[Are you ready?]

Chi Zhao enthusiastically nodded: “Ready!”

A loud beep signaled that the countdown had started. When the system reached one, Chi Zhao suddenly saw a burst of white light in front of his eyes, and the feeling of turning heaven and earth spread across his whole body. Without opening his eyes, Chi Zhao felt a violent gush in his stomach.

The system quickly told him where the toilet was.

While gripping the toilet, Chi Zhao vomited until his stomach was empty. After what seemed like half a day, Chi Zhao could finally speak, “How can the world transfer be so uncomfortable…”

[It’s normal for you to feel uncomfortable the first time. It should be fine in the future.]

[Here, the information of the world has been sent to you. Take a good look and strictly play it according to the plot line.]

Chi Zhao let out a weak mutter, then laid down beside the toilet, closed his eyes, and began to look at the world information sent to him by the system.

The full name of the system is slag giving system. While Chi Zhao was a lonely ghost, it’s not right to assume that he was originally meant to be paired with this system. He just died one day. When he couldn’t figure out whether he should start actively seeking the place of reincarnation, or if he was supposed to wait for something like a tunnel of light to pick him up, the system appeared.

It proposed a deal. Chi Zhao would bind with him, play the role of a slag giver in other worlds, and earn points. If he succeeds in a world, he can get 10 points, and after saving 100 points, he can exchange them for a bottle of resurrection water, which means that he can resurrect back home.

Chi Zhao was only 20 years old. He had been reviewing for the CET-4 [1] for three months at the time of his death. Coincidentally, the day before the exam, he died. Thinking about all that wasted effort gave Chi Zhao complicated feelings. So he didn’t say anything and just bonded to the system.

After the binding, he remembered a very important question, “If I failed, is there be punishment?”

The system sympathized with him. This little guy’s life is gone, and his IQ went down. The binding is already done. What’s the use of asking this question now?

Nevertheless, the system gave him a thoughtful answer. There was no punishment. However, if he did not finish it, he would be trapped forever, unable to rest, only trying to succeed every day until he could save up 100 points.

If someone else heard this, they will be very afraid. After all, the word “forever” sounds very serious. Fortunately, Chi Zhao didn’t think too much. In fact, he thought it was a good deal. Although he can’t go out, he won’t die. Isn’t it just acting? Where’s the difficulty?

Silly, naïve Chi Zhao, at this time he did not yet know what kind of mistake he had made.

As the name implies, as part of the slag giving system, Chi Zhao should always play the role of the slag. Since he is a newcomer, the system very kindly sent him to a world with a relatively low difficulty level. As long as the script is followed, almost anyone can succeed.

In this world, Chi Zhao’s character is Qi Yuan. Like Chi Zhao, he is also a college student and an orphan. Ever since he started high school, an anonymous rich man has been supporting him. His living expenses, tuition fees and even his pocket money are all given by his sponsor. But he didn’t appreciate the rich man at all. Instead, he actually begun to complain about him. He envied him, thinking that this rich man has so much, but only gives himself so little, too stingy.

He always wanted to know who was sponsoring him, because he wanted to ask for money, but he couldn’t find any information because the other party hid too tightly. However, after he went to college, the rich man’s power became unstable because he had no children or heirs. He needed a false heir to stabilize his position. At this time, he thought of Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan finally got to meet the rich man. He knew that he was rich, but he did not know that he was so outrageously rich. He was actually the head of the biggest family in the city, the owner of the Li family, Li Yihan.

Li Yihan was 32 years old, 14 years older than Qi Yuan. After seeing him, Qi Yuan changed his mind. He didn’t want just money anymore. He wanted everything from money to people.

Chi Zhao: “….” [2]

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻┻

… What is “from money to people”? It’s not what he thought it meant, right?

Ultimately, as a fake heir, he moved into Li Yihan’s house, gradually gained Li Yihan’s trust, and then deliberately or unintentionally started to seduce him. Unfortunately, Li Yihan was never interested. The longer Qi Yuan stayed at the Li house, the more he did not want to leave this rich and powerful life. So, he used every scheme he could think of until finally, he lured Li Yihan into his hands. However, he accidentally found out that Li Yihan had made a will. After his death, all the money would be donated to charity. Neither the Li family nor Qi Yuan would get a penny.

Qi Yuan instantly lost interest in Li Yihan, and his previous complaints escalated to resentment. On the one hand, he gradually turned cold to Li Yihan, and on the other hand, he secretly interacted with other wealthy men. After Li’s competitors learned this, they only needed to give Qi Yuan a little sweetness for him to take the initiative to work for them.

Li Yihan trusted Qi Yuan and originally did not suspect that he had been stealing company secrets to competitors, but gradually, he became suspicious. After finding out that Li Yihan had been growing suspicious, Qi Yuan became fearful and anxious, so while playing innocent, he did something in Li Yihan’s car.

He originally wanted to kill Li Yihan but did not expect that Li Yihan would get lucky. He didn’t die, but instead ended up with a life-long disability. Qi Yuan, while Li Yihan was in a coma and lying in the ICU, took all the money he could find and ran away abroad to continue his life of drunkenness and debauchery.

Poor Li Yihan woke up to find that he could no longer walk, and that the company’s working capital had disappeared. Most abhorrently, after he had investigated everything, he found that all of this misfortune was due to Qi Yuan.

It is inconceivable how much Li Yihan hates Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan spent two years abroad and became addicted to drugs. He soon spent all the money he had stolen. He had no money to buy drugs, so, he returned to his old job and seduced men. He had done this before and gotten away with it because everyone knew that his backing was Li Yihan. Now that he could not depend on others, he was easy to bully.

Qi Yuan soon ran into more trouble, he owed a bunch of debts and offended the local Mafia forces. At this time, he saw the domestic news, Li Yihan returned to the business world, and miraculously cured his legs.

Qi Yuan felt that since Li Yihan was all right, he would certainly not blame him anymore. He used the last of his savings to buy a return ticket and tried to find someone to contact Li Yihan.

Finally, Li Yihan came to see him. Looking at Qi Yuan’s broken rental house, Li Yihan smiled like a ghost. He told him that all the people who caused him to become addicted to drugs and offended him were his own. The purpose was to get Qi Yuan to return home and show him his face.

As if to appreciate the moment, Li Yihan sat aside and watched his men break Qi Yuan’s legs. He also punctured his eyes. Then, he left Qi Yuan there to die.

Within three days, Qi Yuan died.

He died of pain and hunger.

Seeing the end, Chi Zhao suddenly shot up from the ground and asked the system, “Is this a novice world?”

[Yeah, isn’t it simple?]

Simple?

It’s fucking hard!

Chi Zhao’s forehead throbbed, and he covered his head. “So to reiterate, that is to say, I’m going to seduce a lot of people and have relationships with them all.”

[Right.]

“Keep it from Li Yihan and sell all the secrets of his company to his competitors, and then I’ll attempt to kill him and instead disable his legs.”

[Right.]

“Finally, I let Li Yihan get his revenge. First, I will live a miserable life abroad. After returning home, I will have my legs broken and be stabbed blind, and then I will starve to death in a broken house.”

[Bingo! Isn’t it simple?]

Oh, it’s really simple.

Chi Zhao was about to cry. “Is it too late for me to repent now? I think it’s good enough to leave the world quietly, let’s untie this bond between us…”

Seeing the host produce negative thoughts, the system rushed to comfort him.

[Don’t be afraid. I’ll shield you from pain to a certain extent. You can also fake your relationships. I can provide you with a night potion, free of charge. If you use it casually, no one will find out that you have done nothing.]

Chi Zhao was relieved that both of his major problems had been solved, then there was only one thing left for him to worry about.

His conscience does not allow him to be so immoral TAT

[Cheer up! It’s precisely because you’re such a slag that he can reach the height of life later on. Look, before being slagged by you, Li Yihan was just a well-behaved old man. After being slagged by you, he grew up instantly and became a powerful old man who’s not afraid to be vicious.]

Chi Zhao: “…”

It makes sense.

[Li Yihan is here, let’s go! I’ll be supporting you silently!]

Li Yihan came into Qi Yuan’s bedroom a minute ago. He looked around and found no one there. Frowning, he opened the door of the bathroom. He instantly saw Chi Zhao sitting on the ground, pale and startled. Li Yihan quickly walked over to him.

“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

The data sent by the system is all written with no pictures. As a result, Chi Zhao didn’t know what Qi Yuan or Li Yihan looked like. Seeing Li Yihan’s appearance now , Chi Zhao almost stopped breathing.

Too…too handsome!

Such a handsome man, the original owner can still go against him? What a nuisance! Qi Yuan’s conscience is too badly damaged! Bad eyesight!

[… Host, don’t forget, now you’re the one whose conscience and eyesight is damaged.]

After a moment of silence, Chi Zhao put his full attention on Li Yihan. He shook his head, suddenly lacking spirit, and went to stand up using the toilet as support. His body was thin and weak, and after vomiting he had no strength left. As soon as he stood up with his left leg, he staggered.

Li Yihan stretched out his hand quickly. Thanks to him, Chi Zhao did not fall to the ground. Instead, he fell into Li Yihan’s arms.

The person in his arms is like a piece of paper, light and weightless. Holding the other man’s arm gently, Li Yihan was afraid of being too strong and crushing him.

Chi Zhao was dizzy. This fall directly knocked him out for three seconds. When he finally regained consciousness, he found that he was no longer in the bathroom, instead he was lying in his bed. Li Yihan’s hand was still on his waist. He was talking to someone outside, “Zhang Bo, tell them that the young master is not comfortable, and the banquet tonight is cancelled.”

Chi Zhao didn’t know what was going on, then suddenly, a cheerful voice rang through his mind.

[1,000 thumbs up for you! [3] That was great. To understand the essence of seduction as soon as you get up. You’re the most enthusiastic host I’ve ever met!]

Chi Zhao: …What?

[1] China’s college English proficiency test. Mandatory for university students in China who are not English majors. It is also a prerequisite for a bachelor’s degree.

[2] the original said, “Chi Zhao Sparta”. Which I assume refers to a meme that uses a face like the one below. Anyway, he’s not happy.

[3] The original had “666送给你”, which means “give you 666”. The 666 is a hand movement. So it’s like applauding someone.
