Chapter 1
"Hello, host. This is Book Transmigration System No. 1328, serving you."
silence.
"Welcome to our family of book travelers. From now on, we will be bound together, supporting each other in the book world, and working together to complete the tasks assigned to us by the Book Transmigration Bureau."
silence.
"The name of the novel we've entered this time is... Host?"
silence.
"Deduct 1 to indicate receipt."
silence.
"Host? Host, are you asleep?"
silence.
"I just checked your vital signs. Host, please don't play dead. I know you are awake."
“…”
After hearing this, Chu Yu finally slowly opened his eyes, as fast as a sloth in slow motion in a movie.
“…”
The man and the system stared at each other for a full ten seconds before Chu Yu sleepwalked and muttered, "Hello."
So sleepy, so tired. What the hell? Wasn't he just killed by a van two minutes ago? How could he still hear human voices even after he died? How terrifying.
"..." The system looked at the host in front of it hesitantly, not knowing whether it should remind the other party that it could hear what he was thinking.
Chu Yu stared at the ball of light in front of him quietly and with difficulty for a while, waiting for the other party to start a conversation. However, he didn't get any words for a long time, and only heard a crackling sound of short circuit.
"...The book-traveling system seems to have a bug, but it's not a big deal. I'll take you into the book world first."
As soon as the system finished speaking, Chu Yu's entire body twisted into a vortex. A second before he lost consciousness, he heard the system say in his ear:
"We're about to travel into a pure love novel about an entertainment talent show, titled 'Counterattack: C Position Shining - The Domineering Prince Falls in Love with Me'."
"It's a... uh, a youth-themed, bloody, crematorium-themed, sadomasochistic romance novel."
-
Chu Yu didn't accept this setting for a long time.
First, he was hit and killed by a van.
Second, he traveled into a book after his death.
Third, he was transformed into a cannon fodder trainee A in this book.
Cannon fodder A is different from the protagonist top and the protagonist bottom, and also different from cannon fodder B, C, and D. He is in the position of a character who has some role in the novel but not much. The reason why he is called cannon fodder is that his plot cues the process by causing trouble for the protagonists, for example: he cheers when the protagonist makes trouble, he hands him a knife when the second male lead stabs him in the back, and he turns off the power when the villain makes trouble. He is always conscientious, always active in the front line, and always the brightest background board at the scene.
Chu Yu quickly flipped through the entire book in his mind, picking out all the plots related to his character, including but not limited to backstabbing the protagonist three times, spreading rumors about the protagonist six times, being sarcastic to the protagonist in person twelve times, and using the same method to frame other supporting characters several times. Every day he was either causing trouble or on his way to causing trouble. In the few pages that were available, almost all the characters avoided him like the plague.
Chu Yu: ...
He's crazy. Why does he do so much work when no one pays him?
Isn't there a character who is more of a cannon fodder, the kind who starts out with a small quilt covering him and lies there all day without anyone noticing?
"The cannon fodder Ding in the novel almost meets your requirements, but Cannon Fodder Jia has a greater influence on the plot. I think your potential is more worthy of the role of Jia."
I think your feeling is wrong. What potential do I have?
Wait a moment.
The first metaphor is that thinking is stagnant.
How does it know what I'm thinking?
"Host, we are bound together. I usually reside in your mind, so I can hear everything you think."
“…”
Seeing that Chu Yu hadn't made any movement, the system consoled him, "It's alright, host. Just treat me as a brain accessory. You are free to think and say whatever you want."
Chu Yu did not respond. With his eyes half closed, he looked like he was both sleeping and thinking. Finally, he nodded as if accepting the reality and gave a subtle reminder in his heart.
It might be a bit noisy for you.
system:"?"
Before he could figure out what Chu Yu meant, the next second they landed in the world of the book, in the very beginning scene of the entire novel - in the trainee lounge just after the audition.
According to the information in the book, the cannon fodder A played by Chu Yu has a background among all the trainees. The entertainment company backed by him is ranked in the industry. He had accumulated a group of fans before participating in the draft. This allowed the original owner to bully others in the draft camp more unscrupulously with his popularity. Most of the colleagues who were bullied by him in the early stage dared not speak out, until the pure and innocent protagonist, who came from a poor background but was stubborn and unyielding, bravely stood up to accuse him of his evil deeds. Then he began his career as a villain cannon fodder, targeting the protagonist all the way and being slapped in the face in various ways.
Chu Yu was still not used to his new identity as an active, scheming and vicious man. It was a far cry from his usual Capybara self who took three seconds to blink and three minutes to drink a glass of water and would rather fall asleep than the end of the world.
He mentally poked the system.
What is my mission in the book?
It's too tiring to play a villain and deal with people every day. The messy network of relationships is more complicated than his life. It's okay to simply cue the process. Buy a timed broadcasting loudspeaker to serve as a mouthpiece, record the rumors and sarcastic remarks, and put it there when the time comes. You don't have to come in person, as long as the intention is there.
However, the system was silent for a while before answering him.
"The mission from above hasn't been delivered yet. Actually, we have a tradition in the Transmigration Bookstore where the host personally draws the mission. We usually call this..." the system said, "a surprise box."
Initial metaphor:?
"Host, are you usually lucky?"
If I were lucky, I wouldn’t have been hit and killed by the van and ended up here, Chu Yu thought to himself.
Moreover, he loved to play various card-drawing games during his lifetime. Generally, he would win the ones with guaranteed prizes, and sink the ones without guaranteed prizes. Having been a veteran unlucky person for more than ten years, his heart for opening a blind box was as cold as the knife that had been used to kill fish in RT-Mart for forty years.
He had a bad feeling, and the system reminded him in his head, "Host, there's still some time before the higher-ups send the mission card blind box. Should we go out and investigate the situation first?"
They are now at the beginning of the plot of the whole book. The main characters and various cannon fodder have not yet appeared. According to the description of the main characters' first appearance in the first chapter of the book, working backwards, this should still be before the official recording of the first episode.
But Chu Yu didn't want to open the door.
The empty little room in front of him seemed like a novice village, and Chu Yu was the bad player who stayed in the village and refused to follow the NPC to fight monsters.
"Host, why don't you go out?"
"I'm afraid of meeting humans."
"?"
Suddenly, a fierce knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the person and the system. Chu Yu's body stiffened and he subconsciously sat back a little, waiting for the person outside to open the door himself.
During this time, his brain was working rapidly, trying to suppress the urge to scream in his heart.
"Is anyone there? Is there no one inside?" a female voice came, followed by the sound of the doorknob turning, "Chu Yu? Your name is Chu Yu, right?"
Damn, the NPC is actively cueing the plot, so scary.
Fortunately, there is only one person and my brain can handle it.
Chu Yu didn't even dare to move his eyes.
The door finally opened, and the staff in work clothes saw him: "Hey, so you're here, why weren't you talking?"
After that, he quickly walked to Chu Yu and grabbed his arm: "Come with me, I'll take you to the hall."
The lobby. The lobby? The lobby!!!
A place where many people gather as soon as you hear it!!
Chu Yu's eyes went dark, and he subconsciously started to enter standby mode, looking like he was about to pass out.
While being dragged out by the staff sister, the system was still clicking something in his head and muttering something to itself.
"Strange, the system keeps showing there's a bug, but I can't find it."
Inside the draft hall.
The hellish scene that Chu Yu had expected with hundreds of people crowding the entire hall was not there. There were only four or five trainees who had just passed the audition and were sitting together exchanging information and whispering to each other.
"Staff sister told me that there will be a new trainee in our group."
"I've heard about it too. It seems to be the main promoter of Tianxing Entertainment, named Chu Yu."
"Ah? Chu Yu?! How unlucky!"
"What happened to him?"
"Don't you know?" The trainee who spoke looked around cautiously. "That guy is super scary. He put nails in the shoes of a trainee from the same company, causing her foot to be injured and she can't participate in the audition."
"What the hell? So scary?"
"He has a ton of negative news, but there's someone behind the scenes helping to suppress it. He's been involved with people who are better than him in the same period, and he's also known to take the lead in isolating and bullying others. A trainee from his company even told me that a staff member in their company was forced to resign because he provoked Chu Yu."
"Oh my god, I'm so scared. How could I be assigned to such a person..."
"God forbid he messes with us..."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor. The four people immediately kept silent, looking at their noses and mouths carefully, for fear of angering some troublemaker and bringing themselves into a lot of trouble.
The staff quickly pulled a tall young man to stop in front of them. Someone in the middle couldn't help but look up and observe the person behind the staff.
He has a very superior appearance, delicate eyebrows and a straight nose. His deep facial features and cold white skin make him look like a mixed-race. There is also a memorable teardrop mole under his eyelids, which neutralizes his originally cold and arrogant temperament and makes him look a little seductive and gentle.
From her skin to her bones, she is impeccable, and her bones are even better; she has a camera-ready face that is one in a million, and there are no shortcomings no matter which angle she is viewed from.
No wonder the company still insists on promoting him despite his bad character...
Jing Yan thought so and lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him again.
Then the next second, a sharp explosion pierced the dull air, penetrated everyone's eardrums, and spiraled upwards to the ceiling of the hall.
Ahh ...
Everyone in the hall except Chu Yu looked confused.
Am I deaf or am I crazy?
The thorny young man with a striking appearance was standing there motionless with a stern expression, his slightly furrowed brows and half-closed eyes seemed to indicate a certain impatience.
The atmosphere returned to silence, and because of the little incident just now, it even seemed a little weird for a moment.
I must have heard it wrong.
Several people thought of the same thing.
