Extra 4
When System 123 arrived in this novel world, it was extremely excited.
Because he has completed his apprenticeship.
His master is System 01, who has completed countless novel missions, covering various genres such as melodrama, overpowered protagonists, Mary Sue, cultivation, interstellar mecha, and apocalypse. He is a legendary figure in the entire transmigration system.
With such an awesome master, System 123 was naturally incredibly proud. After following his master around to watch... no, to assist his master in completing a mission for the 99th time, his master suddenly said to him: "123, you've graduated. Open your email. This is your first mission since graduating. I wish you complete success."
123's eyes welled up with tears, partly from reluctance to part with her master, and partly from excitement at being able to carry out the mission alone. "I will definitely complete this mission well!"
The novel world it's responsible for saving is a romance novel that combines Mary Sue and overpowered protagonist elements; it's very easy, practically a very simple one.
Since the system has no physical form, its first task is to find a suitable fictional character and then a suitable host to enter that character and complete the task in its place.
123 stared at the densely packed characters in the novel and fell into deep thought: Who should I ask?
After a long pause, it decided to use the simplest method to determine the candidate—by drawing lots.
Of course, 123 couldn't draw lots with slips of paper. It activated the laser button, a white light flashed, and finally landed on a girl with long, flowing hair.
Upon closer inspection, it realized that this was not a young girl at all, but a vicious, manipulative male supporting character with a fetish for cross-dressing—Wen Yan!
123 thought about it carefully and realized that Wen Yan actually fit the mission requirements quite well. He had a lot of screen time, was always clinging to the male and female leads, came from a good family, which made everything convenient for him, and had a group of cannon fodder who would fight for him. Not bad!
He's the one!
123 found another soul in the human world. He had been hit by a car and had a strong will to live. The system took pity on him and gave him the chance to be reborn, telling him that he could return to his original world after completing all the tasks.
Wang Ruoming was overjoyed. He thought it would be fine if he died, since his family was poor and death would be a relief. But he never expected to hit the jackpot and transmigrate into the body of a wealthy young master. Although this young master had a fetish for cross-dressing and he had to complete countless tasks, he was very rich now!
The first truth 123 learned from his master was: never be nice to the host or be obedient to him in every way; instead, learn to treat the host with clear rewards and punishments.
Looking at his innocent, adorable, and well-behaved host, 123 couldn't bear to speak coldly to him, especially since his host was helping him complete the mission; they were essentially partners.
01, having gleaned 123's thoughts through the main system, sighed softly upon hearing this. The system and the host were essentially in an employer-employee relationship; the host completed the task, and the system gave him a chance to survive. It couldn't really be considered a collaboration.
After thinking it over, 01 decided to make 123 suffer a bit in the first mission, so that it wouldn't be too soft-hearted and fail to complete the mission.
Upon arriving, Wang Ruoming approached everything with caution, carefully playing his role and diligently completing every task assigned by the system.
Over time, he became somewhat dissatisfied. Looking at the male and female leads who were the center of attention, he couldn't help but have dark thoughts. They were just characters in a novel, so why could only the two of them enjoy everything and have everyone revolve around them, while he could only be a clueless supporting character who was hated by everyone?
He thought this way and put it into action.
This was 123's first time doing a mission alone, so she kept a close eye on Wang Ruoming's actions, afraid that something might go wrong.
After Wang Ruoming went beyond the scope of the mission, 123 questioned him: "Why did you push Liu Xirou down the stairs? If Long Chen hadn't pulled her back in time, she would have been dead, you know that?! If either the male or female lead dies, the entire mission will fail!"
Wang Ruoming felt somewhat guilty, but he also spoke with righteous indignation about all his grievances and complaints about the system.
After hearing this, 123 fell silent for a moment. What its master said was indeed true; it was too soft-hearted.
123 lowered his voice and delivered his verdict to Wang Ruoming: "Your mission qualification is revoked, and you will be sent back to your original world, which means death."
Wang Ruoming's eyes widened, tears of panic streaming down his face. He screamed, "Why? Why did they...?"
123 didn't give him a chance to speak. Wang Ruoming vanished into thin air in broad daylight, unknown to anyone.
123 found another host. This time, it explained the taboos and the mission together, repeatedly emphasizing not to do anything unrelated to the mission. Li Yuan just nodded and looked at the male protagonist thoughtfully.
It had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Sure enough, during a physical education class, Li Yuan made his move on the protagonist.
On the court, Li Yuan's eyes were dark. Taking advantage of Long Chen's turn, he threw the basketball in his hand with all his might. The basketball flew towards the back of Long Chen's head at an extremely fast speed, but fortunately, it was caught by Su Jibai at the last moment.
Although 123 doesn't have a heart, it can feel its invisible heart about to burst out. There's no point in saying more, so it once again kicks its disobedient host out of the novel world.
123 found more than a hundred hosts, and they were repeatedly warned, so why did they still resort to any means to deal with the protagonist?
It went to its master to learn the scriptures without understanding why.
01 said calmly, "You are too kind and lenient to them. Most people are greedy and competitive. You can only make them work for you by rewarding and punishing them, by hitting their sore spots."
123 suddenly realized, "Master, I understand!" and left in a hurry.
123 was searching for a host among a group of dead. In the vast sea of people, it suddenly saw a person who looked exactly like Wen Yan, and whose name was also Wen Yan!
123 was stunned, feeling that he was the chosen one to play the role of Wenyan. It immediately decided to throw the man's soul into Wenyan's body.
Looking at that bewildered face, 123 suppressed his pity and kept reciting the second truth he had learned from his master: Never explain too much to the host, and replace the host immediately if you find that the host is out of control.
After observing Wenyan for two months, 123 realized that he could completely let go. Wenyan was kind, brave, witty and lively, and had a tenacity that no one else had, which always enabled her to complete her tasks smoothly.
To their surprise, 123 was astonished.
In addition, the host actually got together with the second male lead in the novel!
123 was petrified. After realizing that the second male lead had been helping the host, it examined his brain and found that Su Jibai had actually awakened. Then it immediately deleted his memory.
Unexpectedly, Su Jibai remembered it again because of Wen Yan's provocation!
123 began to struggle with whether or not to send this host back to his original world. However, finding someone like Wen Yan again would be extremely difficult, something it had already experienced firsthand. But if it didn't send him back, Su Jibai would know the truth about this world and would definitely not be under its control anymore. What would happen to the plot then?
It wanted to ask its master for help again, but its master would definitely send the host away without saying a word. 123 sighed and finally decided to erase Su Jibai's memories again. This way, it could keep Wenyan and get the plot back on track, killing two birds with one stone, perfect!
Unexpectedly, after Su Jibai's memories were erased, the host became depressed, and even the heartless system became melancholy. Sigh, don't blame me, blame this damn world!
To everyone's surprise, Su Jibai remembered it again. Indeed, the power of love is great. 123 couldn't help but sigh. Then it wanted to erase Su Jibai's memory, but after hesitating for a moment, it gave up.
Just as Wenyan thought, Su Jibai could recall something once, and then again and again; it was impossible for it to detect Su Jibai's state at all times.
123 decided to turn a blind eye; as long as the mission could be completed, it didn't want to get involved in what the host did.
Unexpectedly, the female lead turned evil!
123 is devastated! This novel isn't easy, it's hell! How can completing the tasks be so difficult?!
Left with no other choice, it suddenly appeared to provide psychological counseling to the female lead. 123 was taken aback, and the female lead also knew of its existence!
123 appears unmoved on the surface, but secretly weeps bitterly. Just how terrible is its system that it exists? Why are so many people aware of its existence?!
Clearly, when it was on a mission with its master, no one except the host could detect them. Overwhelmed with grief and fear, it checked its central command room and, through the control logs, discovered that it had connected the spatial communication device, which was originally intended for its master, to the female protagonist's brain instead. It was its master who discovered this and secretly turned it off.
After feeling grief, indignation, and shame, 123 completely crashed.
Not only were tasks not being delivered to the host in a timely manner, but even maintaining operation was extremely difficult. 123 decided to go to its master to recuperate and repair its fragile little heart that was about to break. It believed that its host would definitely succeed.
Keep it up, host!
After painstakingly finding its master with the last bit of energy, 01 recharged it, kicked it back, and coldly said, "Come see me again after you've completed your mission."
123 dared not be angry or speak out, and returned to the novel world with teary eyes, watching the host and the male and female protagonists' every move.
Not long after it returned, an accident occurred: Wenling was hit and killed.
Wenyan asked it to use Time Reversal, but was in a dilemma. The skill could only be used during the mission, and besides, the target of the skill was someone unrelated to the mission.
Although this person accelerated the plot's progress countless times, according to the novel's setting, Wen Ling was indeed unrelated to the mission.
Seeing Wenyan's dejected and almost heartbroken state, 123 still softened.
The third truth it learned from its master: In the later stages of a mission, do not refuse the host's requests unless absolutely necessary, unless it contradicts the mission.
The system of rewarding and punishing, as a form of punishment, erased the memories of most people, making it more difficult for Wenyan to complete her mission.
This time, Wen Yan was not discouraged. He was only briefly depressed before throwing himself back into the mission.
123 was so moved he couldn't express it, and secretly made a note of it for Wenyan, planning to reward him after he completed the task.
Liu Xirou's final action was both reasonable and unexpected in 123's view.
The villain did countless things that drove Liu Xirou insane, but Liu Xirou remained kind at heart. However, she no longer felt pity for the villain and instead harbored murderous intent towards him.
With Ji Weixuan dead, there are no more obstacles on the road to love between the male and female protagonists, and the mission is now complete.
123 was overjoyed; it had successfully completed its mission alone and could now go see its master!
After hastily rewarding Wenyan, 123 immediately located his master in the command center and excitedly ran towards 01, knowing his master would surely praise him!
123 and his master traveled in the universe for a while. One time, he took a break to go back and visit Wenyan. He found that Wenyan actually thought Su Jibai was too young. 123 had a brilliant idea and decided to send him ten years in the future so that he could experience the life of the young Su Jibai!
