Once she calmed down, Zero showed Leng Yue the latest data and asked, "How is it? What do you think?"

Leng Yue hesitated for a moment, her fingers sliding across the data. Because of Zero's upgrade, all the numbers could now be materialized, allowing Leng Yue to touch them with her hands, flip them back and forth, and bring up past data for comparison.

"My luck stat has gone up again! The repair costs are all paid off? I actually made a net profit of 100,000 points, am I seeing things?!" Leng Yue kept rubbing her eyes as she looked at the changing data.

Zero grinned, "Because of headquarters' mistake, you were almost left behind in the mission world. So they generously cleared our debts and even gave us an extra 100,000 points as compensation!"

"Such a generous gesture?" Leng Yue found it unbelievable. This company made a mistake, yet it still offered to compensate its employees. Was this some kind of windfall?

Zero shook its fish head upon hearing this, "Yueyue, you only know one side of the story..."

"What do you mean?" Leng Yue pricked up her ears, afraid of missing anything.

"Do you want to know why your luck stat has increased again?" Ling asked, swaying her fish tail.

Leng Yue nodded. Although she suspected it was related to Ye Qian, it was just her guess.

"The world you've come to this time is to save the male protagonist..." Zero explained to Leng Yue while mobilizing data.

"Save the male lead?" Leng Yue craned her neck to look. "Who is it?"

“Look, it’s him,” Ling pulled up a photo of Leng Xiaoyu, but something was strange. The person in the photo had a frivolous and wicked air about him, completely different from Leng Xiaoyu. Leng Yue almost didn’t recognize him at first glance.

"Is this Leng Xiaoyu?" Leng Yue asked hesitantly. "How could he be the male lead?"

"Do you know what a harem novel is? The rural-to-urban progression story, Leng Xiaoyu is the male lead in that kind of story." Ling sighed as she looked at Leng Yue's increasingly surprised expression. "Don't be surprised. Leng Xiaoyu is good-looking and lucky, so it's not impossible."

“But… how could he…!” Leng Yue, unwilling to give up, started flipping through the documents herself, and Ling did not stop her.

In the original storyline, Leng Yue fell into the river and drowned during a fit of rage. Leng Xiaoyu became an orphan and survived on the charity of the villagers. However, he was too young, and the adults in the village were too busy to take care of him. As a result, Leng Xiaoyu went astray.

As Leng Xiaoyu grew older, he became increasingly handsome and popular with girls. He fell in love with every girl he met; as long as she wasn't ugly, he wouldn't refuse her. And every girl was hopelessly in love with him, completely devoted to him!

"But...but Yu'er isn't like that!" Leng Yue refused to believe it.

“Yes, Leng Xiaoyu shouldn’t be like this, which is why someone wanted to save him!” Zero said, blowing bubbles as he acted like a fish.

Leng Yue flipped through the files but didn't see who was tasked with rescuing Leng Xiaoyu. "Who issued the mission?"

"It shouldn't be his sister, right?" When the original owner died, no one knew what Leng Xiaoyu would become!

“You know her too,” Zero blew a huge bubble and patted it with his fin with satisfaction, “It’s Xie Juruo.”

"Her?" Leng Yue was even more puzzled. Xie Juruo had been very good to Leng Xiaoyu, and at one point even considered taking Leng Xiaoyu as her godson. But later she suddenly lost that intention, got married, had a lovely daughter, and lived a very happy life.

Ling was like a tapeworm in Leng Yue's stomach. "What you know is all after being influenced by you. In her previous life, she didn't remarry. Later, she accidentally met Leng Xiaoyu and found that he looked a lot like her deceased child, so she always felt that Leng Xiaoyu was her son. By the way, her son and daughter actually died very early, but she never wanted to admit it. Her husband also left her because of this, and she was also a woman with a tragic fate."

Leng Yue really didn't know about these things. "What happened next?" After all, they were all people she knew, so how could she not care?

"At that time, Xie Juruo already had some mental problems, so she treated Leng Xiaoyu like her own son. But as you know, Leng Xiaoyu was already broken then, only thinking about his own pleasure and interests all day long. How could he have any feelings for others? He wouldn't care about other people's lives! And the more he acted like this, the more Xie Juruo blamed herself. She blamed herself for not taking good care of Leng Xiaoyu. Until her death, she was filled with guilt and hoped to start over and change Leng Xiaoyu. And then, you appeared." Zero finished speaking in one breath and stopped blowing bubbles.

Leng Yue looked bewildered, somewhat indigestion, "Why wasn't it on Xie Juruo?"

"It's malfunctioning! Besides, you stumbled upon this task by accident; many people haven't even completed it yet!" Zero said smugly.

"How is that possible? It's that simple!" Leng Yue exclaimed in disbelief.

"You think everyone is as unlucky as you?" Zero rolled her eyes.

"Does it matter?" Leng Yue felt her face stiffen.

"Because you're unlucky, you've lowered Leng Xiaoyu's luck value. Even if he wants to cause trouble, he still needs your help to make a living." Leng Yue didn't understand Ling's answer and looked at Ling in confusion.

"Oh dear, even if other people went there, they couldn't suppress Leng Xiaoyu's protagonist aura, which is basically a harem aura. Some newbies even get addicted to it! But you're a blockhead, and you're unlucky too. Don't you know bad luck is contagious? When the two of you are together, you actually suppress his protagonist aura to the point of being completely dimmed. Can you believe how unlucky you are!" Zero said, twitching her lips.

"I'm much better now, aren't I?" Leng Yue felt good about herself.

"In the entertainment world, you benefited from the original owner's good fortune, but in the harem world, your misfortune only worsened because the original owner was also unlucky. It's just that she wasn't as resilient as you. With your misfortunes combined, if it weren't for the male lead's halo restraining each other, you wouldn't have had it as easy as in the first world. You'd probably die over eight hundred times a day!" Zero thought about it and found it amazing. They say things reach their extremes and then reverse, and it's true! He never thought that Leng Yue's bad luck could one day become a cheat code.

"So, how much luck did I gain this time?" Leng Yue asked, puzzled.

"It was absorbed from Leng Xiaoyu. That guy's luck stat is so high that he's always thinking about causing trouble. So this is also the mission world's recognition of you!" Zero said seriously.

"Isn't the mission world a harem world? And they even approve of me? I've actually made their male lead normal." Leng Yue felt like she knew a lot more today.

"Yueyue, you really are naive. Let me ask you, who wants their family to always be full of messy things? Especially when it's their most promising child who isn't ambitious. How can you be happy about that? If you cleanse them of their filth, they'll only be happy." Lingyi's fish eyes widened, taking up two-thirds of her entire fish face.

Leng Yue glanced at Ling and thought to herself, "Ling, you've changed. You're not my little cutie anymore!"

"I'm not a little cutie anymore! I'm going for the mature, older look now!" Zero said nonchalantly, but still kept referring to himself as "I am".

“Hehe…” Leng Yue chuckled softly.
