Chapter 1 Covet 01

【Welcome to the world of Code NH! 】

Along with these words, there was a noisy and chaotic sound, as if a group of people were shouting and making a fuss.

However, Gu Rong didn't have time to explore, as he was first attracted by the voice in his mind.

——The voice ringing in his head was too loud.

I wish I could fill him with all the information within a second.

Gu Rong closed his eyes.

My mind subconsciously begins to integrate the information I hear.

First of all, he is dead.

However, after death, for some unknown reason, his soul was captured by a small system that called itself 01 and then sent to this world.

He has to play the role of the "supporting actor" well to help the male lead.

Only when the established conditions are met can the mission be considered successful, and only then can one leave this world and go to the next world to continue the mission until they have accumulated enough energy for rebirth.

[Host, our mission mechanism is very humane.]

A small ball with a shimmering white halo flew up and down, and a small hand stretched out from each side, rubbing it together: [To help the host quickly enter the role, the body in each world is molded exactly according to the host's physical data. And before the host came to this world, this body was entrusted to carry out tasks!]

Body hosting?

Gu Rong was originally silent, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but speak: [Is it like a pre-set AI program?]

Yes.

01 The entire ball swayed up and down as if nodding: [Before the host entered this body, each world's body would automatically be managed and carry out tasks according to the established identity requirements and personality traits. Once the host entered this body, the management program for this body would automatically be canceled.]

[If that's the case, then why do I need to enter this body? ]

Gu Rong slowly spoke: [Wouldn't it be better to continue with the trusteeship?]

【Um? 】

01 shook his head for a moment, then said in a natural and matter-of-fact tone, "But how can AI compare to human intelligence and adaptability?"

The managed model is still too rigid. How can it be compared to the flexibility and freedom of human operation? So, in order to make the task more efficient—

【good. 】

[Eh?]

01 paused, Xiao Que Qu scratched his head, and found that the host suddenly smiled, melting like spring snow, and a glittering light flashed in his eyes, but then disappeared like a fleeting light.

【Then let me continue to look at the tasks in this world. 】

【......oh! 】

Gu Rong received the mission and information of this world from 01.

——The information is up to the time before he came to this world and entered this body.

The protagonist of this world is named Lu Yu, a freshman at the medical university.

He came from a single-parent family and was the provincial top scorer in the college entrance examination. His family was not poor, but not well-off either. His mother, Lu Ting, was an elementary school teacher who raised Lu Yu alone.

But in fact, Lu Ting and Lu Yu have no blood relationship.

Because Lu Yu was adopted, he is an orphan and Lu Ting is just his adoptive mother.

However, the mother and son have a very good relationship and have always depended on each other.

Until Lu Yu won the provincial college entrance examination and accepted an interview——

The family, background, and the emphasis on college entrance examination results undoubtedly made this interview very popular. Lu Yu's adoptive mother Lu Ting also appeared in it and accepted an interview, and was then seen by Gu Rong's father, Gu Yuechuan. For a moment, memories were brought back, and old feelings were unforgettable and rekindled.

Gu Rong: “…”

A single mother who has never been married and has only adopted a child.

Why? Aren't you still thinking about a past relationship?

Then Gu Yuechuan came.

In the memory of this hosted body, his father Gu Yuechuan divorced early and has been single ever since. His marriage with his mother Su Linyu was just a business marriage. He was in love with Lu Ting first, but they broke up. After the business relationship, Gu Yuechuan could not marry Su Linyu first and then fall in love, so Su Linyu resolutely divorced him and went abroad in anger.

After that, I met Lu Ting again during an interview.

After years of separation, old love rekindled.

Gu Yuechuan started his middle-aged pursuit of Lu Ting. They confirmed their relationship half a year later, got married in a low-key manner, and held a wedding.

Therefore, Gu Rong's identity and the male protagonist Lu Yu can be considered a reconstituted family.

He is about three years older than Lu Yu and can be considered his older brother.

But he has no sense of being an older brother at all.

Because Gu Rong didn't want Gu Yuechuan to remarry.

But he pretended to be nice on the surface and was polite to Lu Ting, but he took out all his anger on Lu Yu. Ever since he met Lu Yu, he had always been in a bad mood behind his back, either mocking or being sarcastic, his words were very rude, and his behavior was not at all measured. Taking advantage of the fact that Lu Yu did not want to destroy his adoptive mother's marriage, he was completely fearless and bullied Lu Yu at will.

【So I am a "villain" in this world.】

01 Little Twist Scratching Belly: [Yes, yes, it’s a very important role! ]

[Host, you are the philosopher's stone, the sharpening stone that the hero cuts through! You also exist to temper the hero's iron will! With you, the hero can grow stronger through setbacks and trials, ultimately rising from the ashes and reaching the pinnacle of life! This is the meaning of the host's existence. Isn't it challenging?]

The two little ones clapped their hands: [The condition for successfully escaping our final mission is for the male protagonist to take charge, gaining an identity and status that the host can no longer shake!]

[Here is the action guide for successful mission, host can continue to read it. ]

The so-called action guide for a successful mission is to preset the subsequent plot and development trajectory.

For example, the action suggestions that are in line with the identity setting - destroying the male protagonist's hand, forcing him to give up medicine and go into business; eventually destroying Lu Ting and Gu Yuechuan's marriage, and ruining Lu Ting's job; causing Gu Yuechuan to die in a car accident on the way to find Lu Ting, causing Lu Ting to die of depression; inheriting the Gu family, and completely opposing the male protagonist to the death.

Lu Yu is worthy of being the male protagonist. Even if he goes into business in the middle of his career, he can still be very successful.

So in the end, not only did it gradually devour the Gu family enterprise, but it also made Gu Rong live in poverty for the rest of his life, and he paid the price he deserved.

Gu Rong: “…” Very good.

A very "perfect" preset.

[Right, right? After all, our mechanism is very complete and very humane!]

01 Xiao Que Que put her hands on her hips: [So the host can now——]

"The man is finally under control! Master Rong, come and give him some wine!"

"This kid is such a jerk! He's so shameless! Our young master specially brought you out to celebrate his birthday, and you refused to drink a little? You had to be forced to drink by us, right? Damn, you even dared to fight back! I'll beat you to death! Do you really think you're a nobody just because you're married to the Gu family? You're nothing!"

Gu Rong looked carefully in front of him and found that the previous noise had come to an end.

A figure was forced to kneel before him.

His shoulders were pressed down and his hair was grabbed, forcing his entire face to be lifted up, a very humiliating posture.

Gu Rong's pupils focused and met the pair of eyes on that face.

With irrepressible indignation and rage, his eyes were blazing as he stared at him, his jaw was taut, and his whole body looked like an arrow about to be released but was being tightly clamped by a bowstring. But even so, he seemed ready to explode at any moment. No wonder it took four people and half a day to force him to kneel down.

The cause of the incident is also very simple.

Gu Rong originally wanted to go out and play by herself, but today is Lu Yu's birthday. Gu Yuechuan and Lu Ting are now in a very good relationship, so he has always wanted to take the relationship between Gu Rong and Lu Yu to the next level, so he often lets Gu Rong take Lu Yu out to play, and takes care of Lu Yu if there is anything.

Lu Yu, Lu Yu, I have mentioned Lu Yu too many times.

This made Gu Rong very impatient.

Even though Lu Yu had always used the excuse of staying at the Gu family's house for accommodation since Lu Ting got married, and only came back occasionally on weekends to have dinner with Lu Ting, he would never accept anything from Gu Yuechuan and was unwilling to be involved in the Gu family in any way. He knew how to behave, but he could not withstand Gu Rong's malice.

Sometimes when Gu Yuechuan was nagging her, Gu Rong would always release her pent-up anger here with Lu Yu.

It was even worse today, because before leaving, Gu Yuechuan gave him another good beating.

Probably realizing that Lu Yu often lived on campus and didn't come back, and the distance between them was too distant and not close enough, so he was somewhat aware of some problems.

Lu Ting wouldn't say anything to Gu Rong, but Gu Yuechuan had no scruples at all.

They said that they were all on the same household registration book and would be a family in the future, so they had to maintain a good relationship. They asked Gu Rong to treat Lu Yu as his younger brother, but not to be caught by him doing anything hypocritical.

Done.

Don't feel guilty.

But very annoyed.

So calling Lu Yu out today was purely to embarrass him.

In fact, every time Gu Yuechuan asked Gu Rong to take Lu Yu out to play, Lu Yu would not agree nine times out of ten, but he was afraid of embarrassing Lu Ting and it would be difficult to do it. He also knew that Gu Yuechuan meant well, so even though he could clearly feel Gu Rong's malice, he had no choice but to agree that one time, and then endured Gu Rong's possible difficulties with great patience.

But today the situation has clearly escalated.

Because Lu Yu just didn't want to drink.

According to him, he majored in clinical medicine, and drinking was harmful to the body. He didn't want alcohol to corrode his body, so it would be best for him to not drink at all from the beginning.

Of course, it could also be that he simply didn't want to give Gu Rong face.

At least that’s what Gu Rong thought.

There was a row of expensive liquors on the coffee table beside him. Some of the liquors needed to be chilled to taste better. Near Gu Rong, there was an ice bucket with a diameter as long as his forearm. In addition to crushed ice, it was also full of liquors - all of which were a mixture of various liquors, with a turbid color, ready for Lu Yu to drink.

Gu Rong couldn't help but sigh.

I thought to myself what a waste of such good wine.

Meeting Lu Yu's gaze again, Gu Rong moved his fingers and could clearly feel that this body belonged to him completely.

Then he stood up, picked up the ice bucket full of drinks on the coffee table, and walked towards Lu Yu.
