The imperial eunuchs wield power, and the common people are suffering. Tianbao, don't make any more mistakes.
What do you know? Everything I want, I have to strive for myself. It's you who is trying to block my path now.
Kill him, kill him. To get promoted and make money, he practices day and night, not treating us like humans at all.
Dong Tianbao, look at you, you are already abandoned by everyone. You still don't realize your mistake. Junbao, kill him and avenge those righteous people!
Holy crap, I'm so mad! What for righteousness? It's too melodramatic. What did Tianbao do wrong? He just wanted to advance. Since he was a child, everything he wanted, he had to strive for himself. Unlike Junbao, just because he's the protagonist, with a protagonist's halo, seemingly without desires, good things come to him automatically. And Tianbao? He was expelled from Shaolin Temple just for secretly learning the Prajna Palm.
His joining the imperial court is like passing the civil service exam and getting a good job now. Not only did he achieve success himself, but he also didn't forget his brother. How many people can do that now? Let alone sworn brothers, even biological brothers might not. Only his killing of Little Winter Melon is criticized. Wasn't it also his job to capture the rebels? If this were modern times, it would be like your brother becoming a police officer, and you, instead of trying to improve yourself, join a terrorist organization, and when your brother tries to lead you to the right path, you still want to defeat him.
Chen Xi was a young man in his twenties. Although he was a 'five-have' youth with a house, a car, parents, a wife, and a child, he also had a mortgage, car loan, and other loans. Today was Sunday, and having nothing to do at home, he wanted to relax, so he watched a movie. Believing that current movies and TV shows were becoming increasingly brainless, he decided to watch some old films. That's when he re-watched 'Young Zhang Sanfeng'.
The more he watched, the angrier he got. If his brother became successful and could help him, he would never forget his kindness in this life. Unfortunately, he didn't have such a good brother. If he himself became successful and had such an unmotivated brother, he would definitely stay away. Isn't this just a difference in values? Respect others' destinies, let go of the urge to help.
Looking at the time, it was five o'clock. His wife and child would be back soon, so he quickly turned off the TV to cook.
Just then, his foot went numb. Oh no, he accidentally knocked over the water cup on the TV cabinet.
“Ah ah ah.”
“Where is this?”
“Ding, welcome to the System Space.”
“Who are you? What System? What's my situation now?”
“Ding, hello, I am System 444. Because you just felt approval for the villain's actions, the unwillingness of various villains in the Myriad Worlds resonated with your approval, which allowed this System to capture it. As for you, due to electric shock, you are now in a vegetative state.”
“What, a vegetative state? My family is already struggling enough. If I'm in a vegetative state now, what will happen to our lives later? Can you save me?”
“This System also has no way to save you now. However, we can cooperate. Didn't you have a sense of identity with those villains? In the Myriad Worlds, some villains are forcibly defined as villains. Some of them just act for their own ideals, some are mere passersby who just want to live well. Some clearly have great futures, but are forcibly turned into stepping stones by the protagonist. If we go and change the destinies of these people, I will gain energy. This way, I can also help you revive.”
“So what now? I'm afraid my family will find it hard to accept the fact that I'm in a vegetative state. This will hurt them too much. How long will it take for me to revive?”
“I can't help with that either. If my energy were sufficient, I could freeze this spacetime. But because of my previous Hosts, their stances were not firm. During Transmigration, they were gradually influenced by the protagonist group and the Heavenly Dao. Instead, they made the villains' lives worse than in the original plot.”
“What happens after being influenced?”
“They will gradually get lost in the plot and never come out. Then I will be discovered by the Heavenly Dao and forcibly stripped away. After experiencing this several times, my energy gradually disappeared, and now there isn't much left. We operate on a voluntary basis, so what are your thoughts now?”
“Will this world have changed so much that it's unrecognizable by the time I have the ability to revive? If so, there's no point in my revival.”
“I have a plan here. I can divide my energy into two. One part will take you to the plot world. The other part will change the time flow in your world. This way, after you complete the mission, only about a week will have passed here. After accumulating enough energy from one world's mission, I can first freeze the time in your world here. Afterwards, if your mission goes smoothly, you will have a chance to revive. Originally, if you entered an Advanced world, you could revive just by finding a single medicinal herb or a treasure. But you are an ordinary person, so we must start from the lowest-level world and progress step by step.”
“Alright, it seems there's no other way now. I can only follow your plan. So, what do we do next?”
“Didn't you just watch the movie ‘Young Zhang Sanfeng’? Since you're dissatisfied with Tianbao's ending, then go and change his ending. Do you want to understand Tianbao's thoughts?”
“I don't know if my thoughts are correct. What if there's a deviation from his thoughts? What will happen?”
If the deviation is not significant, or if the outcome you change satisfies him, there will be no problem. Finally, you will receive his score. It ranges from 1 to 10 points, with 6 points being passing. That way, our cost for Transmigration will not be earned or lost. The higher the score, the more energy we will get. If it's 5 points, there will be no change, but we will lose the energy for Transmigration. If we get five points or less the first time, I will perish, and you will also die. You should understand what I mean by now.
“If that's the case, to be safe, it's better to ask for his opinion. I'm also afraid that my understanding might differ from his, and if I fail, then it's truly over.”
“Due to my insufficient energy, you cannot meet, but he has provided a hint message here.”
“Then let me see his hint message.”
“Alright, please see the hint.”
“Ding, ‘Young Zhang Sanfeng’ world, Dong Tianbao's hint.”
“One: Rise to prominence, become a superior person, stay away from Zhang Junbao.
Two: Live a wealthy life, stay away from the Jianghu, stay away from the imperial court, stay away from Zhang Junbao.”
“Why are there two hints?”
“Ding, choose one of the two hints. However, from the hints, you can also see that Dong Tianbao is not a person who wants to be ordinary. Even if he failed miserably in his original world, he was unwilling to be an ordinary person.”
“The two ideas seem similar, but in fact, there is a world of difference. The first idea means he still wants to contend in the imperial court. As for the second idea, that is to be a wealthy idler. However, both ideas mention staying away from Zhang Junbao. It seems he also understands that following the protagonist will not lead to a good end.”
“So, have you decided which path you want to take now?”
“I think both paths can be tried. If the first path ultimately doesn't work out, it won't leave him with regrets. As for the second path, I believe with your help, it should be possible.”
“Yes, Host. Things like Transmigration through time and time freezing require enormous energy. But providing a little help within a world to change a person's destiny doesn't require energy. This System can still do that.”
“Alright then, I trouble you. Now, slow down the time flow in this world. We're going to Dong Tianbao's world.”
