[Congratulations, host, on successfully clearing the D-level dungeon "Urban Legend: The Return of the Supreme Dragon Prince!"]
[Main Quest - Survive for Thirty Days, Humiliate Long Xiaofan Quest Completed]
[Storyline completeness 100%, reward points]
[Role-playing completion rate: 80%]
[Host's final rating: S-]
[Host's current level: D-]
[Host's current assets: Points]
...
Waking up in the pure white space, Qi Qi shook his head, quickly dispelling the last image in his mind of the large truck driving by.
Upon hearing the system's announcement, Qi Qi immediately asked, "Why is my role-playing only at 80%? Am I not bad?"
System: What the hell are you doing?
[Role-playing is automatically scored by the system and the Heavenly Dao based on the host's performance, not manually. The host softened his heart during the role-playing and was not entirely malicious, so some points were deducted from the score.]
After the system finished speaking, it added reassuringly, "[It's alright. Not every host can fully embody a character's personality. Your storyline completeness is 100%, which carries more weight in your personal level score.]"
Qi Qi suddenly understood, and he took it in stride: "Then I'll try my best next time! Oh, and Tongtong, let's buy the world card for this world too!"
The system notified: [A host's lifetime can encompass dozens to thousands or even tens of thousands of small worlds.]
Qi Qi: [Buy it, buy it! This is a place where I grew up, and I don't want to forget it. I want to remember it in the future.]
System: [Okay.]
If you want to buy it, go ahead. Anyway, the money he earns from one instance is equivalent to more than ten others.
It's good that you can earn and spend money.
...
After looking through the vast sea of scripts that the system had filtered out for a while, Qi Qi suddenly noticed that after he was promoted from F-rank to D-rank, there were some faint, flashing lights that had suddenly appeared on the edge of the empty blue data copy library.
Unlike the light spots in the middle of the dungeon where darker colors indicate higher dungeon difficulty, these light spots are actually... small black dots?
The tiny, half-black, half-white specks of light piqued Qi Qi's curiosity: "Tongtong, what kind of scripts are these?"
The system stated: "Starting from this area on the side, these light-point scripts are not mission scripts issued by the Heavenly Dao, but rather missions issued by the cannon fodder who have escaped."
[Once cannon fodder develops self-awareness, they may not only escape the instance, but sometimes their excessive resentment can affect the growth of the entire instance world, and there is also a certain chance that they will attract the invasion of chaotic forces.]
Qi Qi: [So these scripts are the ones you mentioned, the ones that fulfill the wishes of the cannon fodder?]
System: [Yes, the difficulty of these dungeons is comparable to that of the Heavenly Dao quest dungeons. If you are interested, you can give it a try. However, the lowest level dungeon here is a D-rank scenario.]
Qi Qi pointed directly at someone: "[That sounds really interesting! Fulfilling other people's wishes? I want to try too! Find me a wish for everyone!]"
System: [Okay, just a reminder to the host, due to the nature of the dungeons, most of the cannon fodder role-playing tasks here are for villains.]
Upon hearing this, Qi Qi's eyes lit up even more: [Great! I think I actually have a real talent for being a bad guy! What was that line Brother Chu said again? "No morals, no enjoyment of a good life! Besides, being a good person is exhausting!"]
system:【…………】
I almost forgot that the instance ended and the host's memories returned.
...
In the thirteenth year of Yongping, the Xia Kingdom, which had been the largest country for 500 years, was clearly nearing its end. Since the incompetent Emperor Yongping ascended the throne, the court remained corrupt and incapable in the face of natural disasters and man-made calamities.
The court was in chaos, with sycophants in power. Those with money were given important positions, while those without were not. The powerful and wealthy treated the common people's suffering as nothing, indulging in extravagance, debauchery, and sensual pleasures.
Foreign countries are eyeing the country covetously, while rebels are rising up in various places, determined to overthrow the tyrannical ruler and restore order to the world.
In these turbulent times, even the lowest stable boy in the palace seemed to harbor thoughts of becoming a rebel king.
After reading the script, Qi Qi looked at the white undergarment he was wearing, then pinched his chubby face and arms, and fell into deep thought.
I look two sizes bigger than before in the mirror, and a bit shorter, like a little bear... It's not a big deal.
So, the original owner of this body, Qi Laibao, only wished to protect his godfather's life and provide for him in his old age until his death?
System: [Yes.]
Qi Qi patted his now chubby belly with a smile; it felt bouncy and incredibly nice to the touch.
That's easy! I can definitely do it!
The system reminded again: [The original owner's godfather, Qi Defu, is currently the fourth-rank Grand Steward of the Imperial Kitchen. He is a treacherous and ruthless villain who prioritizes profit above all else, and is also one of the sycophants mentioned in the synopsis... one of his adopted sons.]
And you, host, are Qi Defu's young nephew who was kidnapped by human traffickers after his family was wiped out by a disaster in his hometown. He was then castrated and sent to the palace. Qi Defu raised you and made you his godson.
In the original novel, Qi Defu controlled the imperial kitchen and used his position to do many bad things, offending many people. A few years later, when the male protagonist successfully rebelled and stormed into the palace, he killed him. Oh, and you were the one who got killed along with him.
The original owner gained consciousness because she stole the male protagonist's heirloom jade pendant when he was down on his luck. The jade pendant was the most important thing to the male protagonist, so the original owner's soul was tainted by a trace of karma, and she awakened consciousness after death.
[This is a D-level cannon fodder scenario. The host's only task is to care for Qi Defu in his old age and see him to his death. Qi Defu's original body can live up to 73 years old. He is currently 46 years old and has 27 years left to live. During this period, the host needs to gain points based on the length of life the villain lives after the male lead's rebellion.]
The male protagonist's rebellion takes place 10 years later.
