For a moment of thrill, Luo Chen binds to a villain system. After finally finishing his role, he is told that he failed. To get the wish granted by the system and return home, Luo Chen starts over ...
Even with the plot he already knew, there were still some things that showed Sang Yi wasn't that kind of person at all.
This thwarted Sang Yi's plan, making it impossible for him to continue.
This is already the first step in triggering a special mission.
However, the system did not intend to release it immediately, but instead continued to wait.
They wanted to see just how far their chosen host could go.
As it turned out, Luo Chen did not disappoint the system.
In the following instances, Luo Chen took precautions in advance. Although he did not reveal his hand, he undoubtedly disrupted Sang Yi's plans.
Over time, this accumulated.
This special mission is several times larger than usual.
[...]
"So, what kind of reward will I get for this special mission?"
Although the system hasn't explained what this special task entails, shouldn't the rewards be the priority?
Since it's already dragged on for so long, if it doesn't exceed my expectations, then I might as well not do this special mission.
[Actually, the special mission is already underway. I'm only telling you now to inform you, host.]
[This is to prepare you mentally, so you won't be too surprised or overwhelmed.]
"From what you're saying, does this reward mean it's even more extravagant than I'm thinking?"
That's correct.
[However, before we get to that, I should first explain this special mission.]
Seeing that the system hadn't mentioned the reward yet, Luo Chen's curiosity had already been piqued.
The last time the system issued a task was before, and in the meantime, we've been getting by by dissing each other.
It would be a lie to say that I don't want any missions.
Sometimes, Luo Chen would wonder if his own system was really a system, looking at other people's systems, which had so many tasks they couldn't keep up.
Moreover, the rewards are generous, allowing the host to take off immediately.
Looking at my own home, it's truly unbearable to look at.
Now, finally one has arrived.
Luo Chen naturally wanted it.
Of course, what he wanted to know most was what the reward would be.
[Due to the host's own initiative in triggering a special mission, which was issued by me, the mission has changed after several iterations.]
[The difficulty level is currently defined as level C.]
[Special missions currently only have four levels, from D to A. At the current level of C, I'm quite optimistic about the host, considering it was only D before.]
The meaning of this statement is quite clear: if the system hadn't delayed the release and increased the cumulative amount, Luo Chen might have already been given a D-level rating.
Luo Chen understood, but didn't say anything, and even rolled his eyes.
The system seemed a bit slow, as if it hadn't chatted in a long time, and it seemed to talk a lot.
Seeing that Luo Chen didn't seem to care, the system didn't ask any questions.
He simply continued speaking.
[This C-level mission is primarily to have the host continue to sabotage all of Sang Yi's plans, ultimately nipping them in the bud.]
[Although Sang Yishu was one of the ten generals beside the protagonist Ye Feng in the early part of the story, his existence is undoubtedly the most important in the later part of the plot.]
[To prevent Sang Yi from quickly becoming the strategist for the protagonist Ye Feng, I hereby issue a C-rank special mission.]
[If the host can completely destroy Sang Yi's plan, then a reward of +30 to all attributes will be given.]
[Also rewarded is a special talent—the Seven Orifices.]
The seven orifices, in this context, do not refer to the seven openings in the human body. Their main function is to anticipate danger and prevent it from happening.
You could say it's a life-saving talent, or you could say it's not.
The range of the seven orifices is not very large, within a hundred meters. If a potential danger is detected, the seven orifices will issue a warning. They can even keenly detect which direction it is from and which person it belongs to.
However, if the distance exceeds 100 meters, then this special talent becomes less useful.
After all, it's only a beginner-level special talent, and it hasn't reached its most ideal state yet.
In addition, this mission is a Class C special mission.
If the system had released it earlier, I might not have been able to obtain this special talent.
But another advantage of the seven orifices is that it can be used by those around you.
It has a standby time of 12 hours and can only be used once.
Because it is a special talent, once it is used on someone close to you, this special talent will be frozen for a period of time.
This does not affect the user, but if you want someone around you to use it, you'll have to wait three days.
[...]
After listening to what the system said, and considering the rewards that could be obtained.
Luo Chen was stunned for a long time.
Isn't this reward a bit too generous?
With 30 points allocated to all attributes, if he completes the mission, he'll reach the Grandmaster level in no time.
Even if the protagonist Ye Feng returns to China, he'll only reach this level.
Luo Chen was initially quite worried that if something unexpected happened after Ye Feng returned, he wouldn't be able to handle it.
But I never expected that I would receive such a reward because of Sang Yi.
Of course, what Luo Chen cared about most was that special talent.
The talents he currently possesses are merely ordinary talents, which would be sufficient in the secular world.
But if you move to another level, those ordinary talents won't be enough.
The system clearly anticipated this as well, and despite criticizing it for so long, not a single person has come across it.
But these seven orifices are really useful.
Not only can I use it, but the people around me can also use it.
Although the freeze period is a bit long, it takes three days.
But it was undoubtedly an effective way to save one's life.
[...]
[Host, your current stats all happen to be 195 points. If you successfully complete the task, your stats will reach 225 points.]
[The host only needs to work harder to diss a few more times to reach the 240 points required to become a Grandmaster.]
[Once the host reaches the Grandmaster realm, I will give the host a small gift as a reward for advancing.]
[Of course, the most important thing is to enable the host to fight against the protagonist...]
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the protagonist Ye Feng will return from the Northern Frontier to Yan Province, and his strength will undoubtedly be that of a Grandmaster.
Luo Chen is not a pure villain, and his character is fixed, so he cannot easily defeat the protagonist like in other books.
Although his persona is that of a simp, the system doesn't think it's too late for him to change his image now.
As long as the host makes more efforts.
Such things are nothing.
Luo Chen thought so too.
After all, just because you don't do something doesn't mean others won't.
What must go on, no one can stop.
Moreover, regardless of whether or not this special mission exists.
Luo Chen's attitude towards Sang Yi will not change much.
Anyone would feel uneasy and unable to sleep well at night if such a scheming person was always lurking in the shadows and targeting them.
So, after the system finished explaining this.
Luo Chen then had a plan in mind.
