During that period of time, Shao Ci lived the life of a disabled person. Every day, no matter what it was, he needed Yu Shao’s help. Although he felt all kinds of shame in the beginning, he began to get used to it… The human ability to adapt was incredible.
Finally, Shao Ci’s injury was pretty much healed and his strength was slowly returning to his body… But because he had laid prone in bed for so long, he still needed therapy for some time before he could stand up successfully.
Yu Shao wasn’t unhappy. Instead, he helped in high spirits. Many times, Shao Ci was in bed and he would come in bed to urge him on, making Shao Ci question who the person forcing him to stay in bed was.
Shao Ci used to be someone without any aspirations, but as soon as he remembered what a horrible crime he had committed against Yin Han, he changed his mind. If Yin Han advanced his ability and came to kill him off, he would be way too easy to kill if he couldn’t even run away!
Although Yin Han wouldn’t necessarily kill him… Shao Ci liked to consider the most horrible outcome when he was looking at a problem. It stimulated him into practicing hard every day. Finally, he managed to walk by supporting himself on the wall or leaning on a cane..
However, before Shao Ci was able to run, the thing he was dreading the most happened.
It was a beautiful, sunny day. Shao Ci was being pulled along by Yu Shao to go on a walk outside. Shao Ci walked step by step with difficulty, and he would began to pant fiercely after just a few steps. He could only lay on Yu Shao to rest.
Suddenly, the air around them cooled. Yu Shao’s expression changed. “Someone’s here.”
Shao Ci: “Ah?”
Immediately, a black vine tunneled out from the ground, automatically weaving into a chair. When Shao Ci sat down, he felt it was extremely comfortable.
Wait a second, this wasn’t the time to be shocked by the vine’s ability to make household repairs. The air had turned cold. Wasn’t this the special effect that came before Yin Han appeared! He hadn’t recovered completely yet, okay!
Immediately, Yin Han silhouette appeared before the two of them. He seemed to have changed a bit, but it also seemed like he hadn’t changed at all.
[Beep beep beep… Detected a more powerful character… Beginning to change capture targets in accordance with the system’s regulations… Change complete. The current capture target is Yin Han.]
“Fuck, he advanced so quickly!” When Shao Ci heard the system’s words, he began to shake. He didn’t know if it was out of cold or out of fear.
“You’ve already been beaten into that condition, but you didn’t die?” Yu Shao blocked Shao Ci, his voice disapproving. “You really are lucky. But this time you might not have that kind of luck. No matter how Xiao Ci-gege begs me this time, I won’t let you go, hmm?”
“What a coincidence, I was thinking the same thing,” Yin Han said calmly. “As long as I kill you, monster, everything can end.”
“Calling someone else a monster is really awful… Besides, do you really have such strength?” Yu Shao waved a hand slowly.
Numerous black vines tunnelled out of the ground. These vines looked even more ferocious than before, possibly because they had absorbed countless zombies for nutrition. The surface was even covered with pitch-black thorns. Just be looking, it was obvious how much the thorns would hurt. In just a moment, the vines enveloped Yin Han completely inside them.
Although it seemed as though Yu Shao had the upper hand, Shao Ci knew that victory had already been announced the system’s prompt. Now, everything would simply be performed as it was in the original novel.
As expected, in the next moment, a layer of frost crept across the vines. As though the vines couldn’t hold back any longer, they cracked apart. Yin Han, who had been surrounded, didn’t have a single sign of injury. There wasn’t even a single rip in his clothes.
Yu Shao’s eyes widened, but he immediately returned to normal, acting as if nothing had happened. “It seems that you’ve gotten much stronger… But don’t think that you can snatch away Xiao Ci-gege like this. When you face me, you’ll always be defeated.”
“If you didn’t stick your nose in things, things wouldn’t have happened like this either,” Yin Han said coldly, raising his hands slowly.
Countless icicles grew out of the ground, rushing abruptly towards Yu Shao. Under the icicles’ attack, all of the mutant plants at his side froze and turned to powder. Using their unstoppable force, they stabbed towards Yu Shao suddenly.
Just as he was stabbed by the icicles, Yu Shao understood that the current him couldn’t fight against Yin Han, and he immediately changed his plans.
In the next moment, a large mutant flower bloomed above the vine chair that Shao Ci was sitting on, and Yu Shao got ready to do the same thing as he had done the first time he stole Shao Ci away. As long as he took Shao Ci away, he would be able to escape.
But just as the flower was about to encase Shao Ci, it was frozen in place by ice. Even the vine chair Shao Ci was sitting on was completely frozen.
“…” Although he felt like he shouldn’t nitpick at this kind of time, it was so cold. Shao Ci was forced to stand up, holding the wall next to him. He was scared that if he sat down again he would be frozen into paralysis.
Victory was decided quickly. Yu Shao was surrounded by icicles, stifled until he couldn’t move an inch, and the mutant plants he had summoned had no way to block Yin Han’s ability. All of them were turned into ice shards.
After all, Yin Han was the person with a protagonist halo. His final advancement meant that there was nobody strong enough to stop him anymore.
Shao Ci watched as Yin Han walked over slowly, shocked into retreating a few steps as he hung onto the wall. A piercing, cold pain suddenly burst from his kneecap, and he fell to the ground. The rough cement floor scratched his hands open, and he had no strength left. He couldn’t even move a little bit.
The sound of footsteps got closer and closer. Shao Ci’s body had turned stiff, cold sweat dripping down his face. He didn’t know what was waiting for him.
Yin Han squatted down, helping Shao Ci up and pulling his upper body into his embrace. His voice gentle, he said, “Why do you want to run? Are you afraid of me?”
Shao Ci was practically scared to death by Yin Han. He would rather Yin Han give him a beating. Even that would be better than this slow question. “I-I didn’t…”
“You’re lying, you’re obviously shaking so hard.” Yin Han hugged Shao Ci, lowering his head to plant a kiss on his forehead. He looked at the wounds on his hands. “Do the cuts hurt? If you know that it hurts, don’t run away from me again… But you won’t have the chance to run in the future either.”
“S-sorry…” Actually, thanks to the system’s blockers, Shao Ci’s body didn’t hurt that much. The pressure he was bearing in his heart was much, much greater than the pain in his body.
“Why are you apologizing?” Yin Han said calmly. “Before, it was because I wasn’t strong enough, and I couldn’t protect you… But now I’m strong enough. I can keep you by my side now. There’s nothing to apologize for.
Shao Ci: “…” Wuwuwa, Yin Han already got ruined, didn’t he.
“Alright, we should kill that monster who broke things up between us.” Yin Han turned around, walking towards Yu Shao with Shao Ci in his arms.
There were numerous wounds on Yu Shao’s body where the icicles had skewered him. The blood flowed down incessantly. He was watching them with gritted teeth, his eyes fixed on Shao Ci. He slowly extended a hand towards Shao Ci. “Xiao Ci-gege…”
“Shut up. Are you allowed to say his name?” Yin Han looked over coldly. In moments, half of Yu Shao’s body was covered in frost. His hands fell weakly.
Shao Ci summoned his courage to say, “Can we not kill him…”
“Hmm? Why?” Yin Han wasn’t angry. He just looked over with a slight smile. “Do I have any reason to let him off?”
“It’s because…” Shao Ci said, “if we kill him, then I’ll…”
“We can.” Yin Han suddenly said, pulling out a dagger created out of ice and placing it in Shao Ci’s hand. “You just need to put this dagger through his heart, and I’ll let him go. It’s really easy, right? This kind of monster won’t die even if his heart is destroyed.”

“It doesn’t matter. I won’t blame Xiao Ci-gege,” Yu Shao said quietly, reaching his bleeding hand out to cover Shao Ci’s hand. “I just hope that you won’t blame me…”
Shao Ci hadn’t understood what his last sentence meant when Yu Shao clutched the hand he was using to hold the dagger, aiming at his own chest and thrusting down fiercely. The ice dagger was incredibly sharp, and it easily punctured through his flesh.
Yu Shao suddenly smiled slightly, looking at Shao Ci. “As long as I’m just stabbed in the heart, I really won’t die, but compared to being killed by someone else… I still want Xiao Ci-gege to kill me. I’m really too selfish. Even if I die, I want to bring Xiao Ci-gege with me…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Shao suddenly broke through the shards of ice encasing his body, lowering his head to kiss Shao Ci on the lips. He sent a crystal with the taste of blood into Shao Ci’s mouth, and it quickly dissolved into a sweet liquid.
Wait a second… where did this crystal come from?
When Shao Ci realized what the crystal might be, his eyes widened in shock. He stared at Yu Shao in disbelief.
After everything was done, Yu Shao seemed to lose all of his strength. He leaned against Shao Ci weakly. “This way, I’ll… become one… with Xiao Ci-gege… I’m so happy…”
Shao Ci was stunned stupid. “!”
After struggling to say that sentence, Yu Shao stopped moving. When Shao Ci reached out to touch him a few times, his body withered up into shriveled fallen leaves. They scattered with a gust of wind… Shao Ci didn’t even know whether he was a zombie or not now.
When Shao Ci realized what had happened, the dagger he was holding fell to the ground. His stomach burst in pain, as though something was beginning to grow in his body… Because of the system’s pain blocker, Shao Ci wasn’t in too much pain, but his body curled up and he couldn’t hold back a mouthful of blood from spilling out.
After Yu Shao died, there was nobody controlling the vine’s seed anymore. Although Shao Ci could use his ability to heal himself, it would only prolong the suffering. There was no sense in it.
“Xiao Ci?” Yin Han’s voice came over, then Shao Ci was pulled tightly into Yin Han’s embrace. The strength in Shao Ci’s body was quickly dissipating. He struggled to open his eyes, and he could vaguely see the fuzzy outline of Yin Han saying something unceasingly. But he couldn’t hear it at all, and he didn’t have enough strength to say even half a word more.
In the next moment, a liquid with the metallic scent of blood was sent into his mouth, Shao Ci, who was about to pass out, suddenly woke up. He was stunned to find that Yin Han had cut his own wrist, feeding it into his mouth.
“Just stick it out, nothing will happen to you… We finally made it until now, how can I let you go die.”
To some extent, an ability user’s blood really could save someone, but it also caused a extreme harm to the ability user.
Shao Ci widened his eyes in shock. He had never thought that Yin Han would actually do something like this for him. But when the seed in his body absorbed an ability user’s blood, it would grow even more quickly. In moments, Shao Ci coughed out even more blood, and his consciousness grew farther and farther from Yin Han’s voice.
[The task’s completion level has reached the qualified level. Detected that host’s body can endure no longer. Initiating transfer to the next world.]
Shao Ci’s last thought was that he hoped he wouldn’t meet so many gays in the next world.
–
This was a mining planet far away from the capital planet.
Because the onyx ores made machinery malfunction, there was no way to use high-tech mining methods, so they could only use manual labor.
Shao Ci was holding a pickaxe, digging mechanically in the mine. It was already the second month since he had been assigned to this lousy place. He didn’t even know when he had started.
To explain what had really happened, they would have to go back to a year ago.
At that time, Shao Ci, whose soul had taken a heavy blow, had been sent into another novel’s world. The novel was an Xdian novel called The Lower Class Zerg’s Counterattack. From the name alone, it was obvious this novel had to do with the overused Zergs in interstellar novels. In just the first few lines, it was obvious that even the protagonist was a damn Zerg.
This novel’s setting explained that after many years of evolution, Zergs could maintain a human form as soon as they were born. Other than some estrus period-related settings, they weren’t too different from humans, but their physical qualities won over humans by a long shot.
Although they looked pretty much the same as people, the Zergs had a strict internal hierarchy. The most respected were the imperial family, who inherently stood high above the rest of the Zergs. Whether it was strength or appearances, they were at the top. After the imperial family came the nobles and the common people, as well as the lower class Zergs who had been born from artificial insemination.
These lower class Zergs were ordinary in every aspect. They were born for the purpose of enslavement, and they had no rights at all. The people who were sent to die first on the battlefield were all lower class Zergs. In any case, lower class Zergs only needed three years to mature. It was enough as long as they produced as many as they wanted.
Moreover, these lower class Zergs had an unconscious fear of higher class Zergs. They would never think of revolting. Typically, they would begin to slave away at their work as soon as they were born. Only the protagonist, who had a protagonist halo, counterattacked. He even opened up an imperial harem, marrying several Zerg princesses and the like.
Shao Ci was unlucky enough to transmigrate into a lower class Zerg. Because he didn’t have parents, his name was picked randomly from a name bank. In the end, he happened to randomly draw the two characters “Shao Ci”. If he was told the system hadn’t interfered, he wouldn’t believe it.
When lower class Zergs finished incubation, they already had the bodies of a teenager. They would be sent to a learning center for a few years. When they came out, they would begin hard labor or get sent to the battlefield to live their lives as cannon fodder. They couldn’t even find a significant other.
Because everyone around him was pathetically weak, the system gave Shao Ci five years of protection. In those five years, he wouldn’t need to bind to a capture target.
Shao Ci really fucking thought he would have to stay in this lousy place for five years. He didn’t expect that the system had said a simple ‘four and a half years’ and they really went to four and a half years later… If it was so great, why didn’t it fast-forward through his miserable mining life!
In short, there was only one month left in the five year deadline.
After leaving the lower class Zerg maturation center, Shao Ci was sent to this mining planet. He mined laboriously from dawn to dusk. He could only eat the most ordinary nutrition packs. There weren’t any rest days. If it wasn’t for the fact that Zergs had stronger physiques than humans, Shao Ci might have died of fatigue. Although it was miserable, it was already a much better life than being a cannon fodder on the battlefield.
When the sky got dark, Shao Ci went back to his tiny, narrow room with a sigh. Five or six people had to live in the narrow room. Their living conditions couldn’t be any worse.
“If I don’t meet anyone any powerful people within the month, then I’m done for…” Shao Ci felt torn. “But if I meet a powerful person, who would be willing to let a lower class Zerg hug their thigh? Nobody even wants a lower class Zerg as a servant.”
It would be best if he could meet the original novel’s male protagonist. Besides, the original protagonist was a stallion, so there was no need to worry about him suddenly turning gay. But the system had indicated he had transmigrated a few hundred years early. The male protagonist wasn’t even an egg yet.
Shao Ci nearly angered himself to death because of the system.
His healing ability plug-in was still there, but if he used it so randomly he would definitely be brought into dissection as a monster. Lower class Zergs had no human rights, so Shao Ci didn’t even dare to give it a try.
On the second day when he was mining, two of the managers were chatting at the side. Shao Ci heard their conversation.
“Did you hear? Recently, because the Hadley family didn’t have enough money, they sold off our mining planet. The boss is going to change in the future.”
“So what? Even if the boss changes, nothing’s going to change on our mining planet, right?”
“Who knows for sure. I heard that the new boss is preparing to come here for an inspection. We’d better get ready. If we get on the boss’s good side, we’ll be able to reach the top in one step. I don’t want to stay in this lousy place for the rest of my life.”
The rest of the lower class Zerg worked numbly. Even if they heard, they would act as though they hadn’t heard anything. Only Shao Ci’s heart jumped.
“This is an opportunity. It’s rare that someone who sounds so awesome would come to this lousy place,” Shao Ci thought.
But even if the other party came to visit, there was no guarantee they would meet. Such nobles would just glance around the outside and leave. All of them looked down on lower class Zergs. Why would they be willing to come inside?
Shao Ci thought as such, so he tossed the matter into the depths of his brain.
After a few days, the rumored new boss arrived at the mining planet.
In order to use the best appearances to welcome the new boss, even the lower class Zergs got a few new clothes to wear. Their meals were also a little better… The flavorless nutrition packs turned into nutrition packs with a tiny bit of flavor.
Most of the employees ran out to greet the boss. Only a few of the unlikeable managers stayed inside. They were full of resentment, and they couldn’t hold back their complaints. They said that if they could go out they would definitely leave the boss with some lasting impression.
In the next moment, the leader’s communicator suddenly sounded. He impatiently pulled it out to look at the contents, but then he froze in shock, his hands beginning to shake.
Everyone else leaned in curiously. One by one, their eyes went wide, and they were so excited they couldn’t control themselves.
Everyone quickly straightened their clothes and dashed to the doors of the mine, as though they were welcoming someone.
“No way.” Shao Ci was shocked. “Could it be that nobleman really came over? Wait a second!”
Shao Ci’s expression suddenly changed. Noble Zerg were much more powerful than normal people. As long as the noble came in, there as no doubt the system would choose the noble as his new capture target. But there was no way he could be so brazen to stay at the other party’s side… He would get caught in the tragic life of failing to complete his daily task every day and suffering the punishment!
When he realized this, Shao Ci burst out in cold sweat. He quickly hid in the lounge near by… In any case, all the managers had left. It didn’t matter even if he was lazy.
Normally, the lounge was where the managers rested, but people didn’t normally come. He would bet that kind of nobleman would scorn this lousy lounge. It shouldn’t be a problem to hide in here.
At the same time, the managers outside greeted their new boss.
It was a youth named Islair. He had an extraordinarily handsome face, pitch-black hair, and light golden eyes. He had on an amiable smile, but they didn’t mistake him for someone easy to get close to because of his smile. Just the overwhelming oppression of his strength was enough to make it hard for them to breathe.
He also had an extremely honorable identity. He was the the heir of the Reims family and he could be considered a figure at the top of the empire. He was the kind of person that would only appear on the news. He was practically in another world compared to the people on this mining planet.
There were numerous chief managers of the mining planet following behind Islair. Everyone was was fawning, “Lord Islair, why did you suddenly want to come and visit this mine?”
“Aren’t you saying nonsense? His Excellency Islair obviously came to understand exactly how onyx ores are mined. What a dedicated person!”
“Exactly, ordinary people can’t get up to this level. Lord Islair really makes people awed.”
It was as though everyone had found something to pick at. One after another, they began to praise Islair in a frenzy, hoping to leave a good impression on him.
“No?” Islair’s voice suddenly sounded. Although he wasn’t speaking loudly, it was like a bolt of lightning had struck the ground. In a split second, everyone around him turned quiet, shutting their mouths and hating that they hadn’t said anything earlier.
“I only came to find someone.” Islair smiled slightly. “If my investigation was correct, that person is here right now.”
Everyone was completely shocked, then they became angry. Who in the world was it who didn’t even bother to say that they knew the new boss? They made it so they couldn’t curry favor and network ahead of time.
“Who is Lord Islair looking for? If you say the name, we can find anyone,” someone hurriedly said.
“But that person is just a lower class Zerg. Can you still find him?” Islair said.
Everyone looked at each other. Of course they didn’t have the names of the lower class Zerg. Here, the most lowly lower class Zerg were separated by serial numbers. Who would go and remember a lower class Zerg’s name?
Forget about nobles, even normal people disdained associating with lower class Zergs. What was with this new boss? Was he testing them?
Everyone’s faces paled slightly, their hearts in their throats, afraid that this lord didn’t come to find someone and that he had just found a random excuse to fire people.
“You guys don’t need to worry. I’m very satisfied with your work.” Islair could tell what they were thinking at a glance. He said calmly, “As long as you find this person, I won’t find any trouble with any of you.
Some of the managers who were normally in charge of overseeing the workers were pulled out. They followed Islair’s instructions and passed on the news to find someone. Each of them looked bitter. Why would they normally pay attention to what lower class Zergs looked like? And there was even stuff about black hair and black eyes.
While they were looking for the right person, they couldn’t let Islair wait, but he insisted staying. Someone suddenly remembered that they had a space they could rest at, and they immediately brought Islair to the lounge.
–
Shao Ci was waiting nervously in the lounge when he suddenly heard noises from outside.
“Fuck, why do you want to come to such a crappy lounge! If I’m discovered, aren’t I done for?!” Shao Ci became anxious, glancing left and right before he found an empty cabinet to hide in.
The cabinet was extremely cramped, and it was lucky Shao Ci was relatively slender, and there was no problem in hiding inside. If it was someone slightly chubbier, they would be done for.
Although Zergs had a sharper sense of smell and they could smell the slightest change, Shao Ci had worked day and night in the mines for such a long time that his entire body smelled like the onyx ores. Normal Zergs wouldn’t be able to smell it. He just didn’t know whether nobles would be able to scent it. Well, there wasn’t another way anyway.
In the next moment, the sound of the door opening came. The system’s prompted sounded at the same time.
[Beep beep beep… Detected a powerful character… Beginning to select capture targets in accordance with the system’s regulations… Selection complete. The current capture target is Islair Reims.]
Shao Ci: “…” It bound to a capture target so carelessly, so what was all his hard work in hiding for!
And why was the name Islair so familiar-sounding… Wait, fuck, wasn’t the villain in the original novel?!
But that’s right, although most lower class Zergs could only live for around fifty years, higher class Zergs had long lifespans. The imperial family could even live for five or six hundred years, and it was perfectly normal for nobles to live for two or three hundred years.
In the original novel, Islair was a being that controlled the imperial family in the palm of his hand. He was just like a prince regent. Even a princess or prince had to be aware of his mood. He was also the one who had noticed how much of a threat the original male protagonist was while everyone was looking down on him. He sent all kinds of people to assassinate the protagonist. If it wasn’t for the protagonist halo, the protagonist would have been killed by Islair many times over.
Shao Ci didn’t expect that he would meet the powerful villain of the original novel so quickly, and it had even happened on a lousy mining planet. He might as well go and buy a lottery ticket.
Of course, lower class Zerg didn’t have the rights to buy lottery tickets… this damn Zerg society _(:з」∠)_
Everyone walked inside, crowded around Islair. When he walked in, emitting a radiant glow, everyone suddenly felt that their decent lounge was shabby and miserable no matter how they looked at it. They looked towards Islair nervously, afraid he would lose his temper.
As soon as he came in, Islair wrinkled his brow slightly, looking towards the cabinet. The people who had their eyes completely focused on Islair’s every move immediately startled. “Lord Islair, what’s wrong? Is this lounge unsuitable for your liking?”
“No, I’m quite satisfied with it.” Islair smiled slightly. “It’s probably just be my mistake.”
Despite his words, he walked slowly towards the cabinet, sizing it up.
Nobody understood what he was thinking. They racked their brains to think of something to talk about. “This cabinet was made using wood. Apparently it includes a special element. If you like it, we can send you one.”
“It’s quite good.” Islair smiled even more happily. “But I’m actually interested in the person inside.”
When they heard him, everyone’s face changed. It was lucky enough that Lord Islair hadn’t disdained this shabby lounge, but there was actually someone inside. If something happened, then that was it. The most important thing was that not a single one of them had noticed it. They had neglected their jobs terribly.
“Who’s hiding there?”
“Do you want to offend Lord Islair? Hurry and capture them!”
“Dammit, are you an assassin aiming for Lord Islair?!”
“Fuck.” Shao Ci heard everything as clear as day. He had the sad feeling that his young life was about to be ended again.
In the next moment, because Shao Ci’s posture had made his legs fall asleep, he accidentally tumbled forward. The cabinet doors burst open.
Shao Ci imagined himself being choked to death. He squeezed his eyes shut, but he fell into a soft chest.
Everyone stared at the scene in shock, practically unable to believe their eyes.The people who had been shouting to capture Shao Ci tactfully shut their mouths.
Someone as noble as Lord Islair actually caught a lower class Zerg? Even if Islair had them look earlier, they had thought it was just finding a random plaything.
After all, the upper class had their own interests. If they liked to mistreat lower class Zerg, they didn’t have rights anyway… But even these nobles disdained touching lower class Zerg. They would put on gloves and things first, and they would throw away the things as soon as they were done.
“???” Shao Ci also stared at him in shock, unable to make sense of why Islair was acting like this to him.
“I finally found you.” Islair’s eyes sparkled. He pulled Shao Ci into his embrace. “I even wondered what I would do if I couldn’t find you. This time, I absolutely won’t let go of you…”
“We… have we met before?” Shao Ci finally asked the question that everyone wanted to know the answer to.
“Of course we’ve met before.” Islair seemed as though he thought of something wonderful, and his expression turned a few degrees warmer, then it seemed as though he had remembered something. He looked towards the people standing at the side. “Excuse me, could you please go outside?”
Even if they still wanted to know the gossip, they didn’t dare to offend Islair. One by one, they sped out. The last person closed the door behind them.
Islair helped Shao Ci up, pulling him by the hand to sit on the sofa. He looked at Shao Ci warmly and said slowly, “You’ve probably forgotten it already, right? After all, it was something that happened four years ago.”
Shao Ci: “?!” Four years ago? Wasn’t that when he had just finished incubation?
“At that time, because of grievances with my family… I, as heir of my family, drew people’s hate and envy, and I was kidnapped away to a remote planet,” Islair said slowly. “Originally, they wanted to kill me off there, but I escaped and hid at the incubation center. But because I suffered heavy injuries, I fell to the ground, practically waiting for death.
“But the people passing by thought I was a low class Zerg, and they acted like they hadn’t seen anything.” Islair’s eyes turned cold. “Just as I thought I had met my end, you appeared. You were already living a hard life, but without the slightest bit of hesitation, you saved me… I’ll never forget what happened then.”
Shao Ci: “Huh? Y-you’re the kid who was injured?”
Islair smiled. “You finally remembered?”
Shao Ci really did remember. That was something that happened not long after he finished incubation. The personnel were too lazy to bother with a lower class Zerg like him. They mostly raised him like a free-range animal. Sometimes, he didn’t even have food to eat.
At that time, Shao Ci met an injured teenager in a remote area. He still remembered that teenager’s ivory-like pale skin, his light gold eyes staring at him with tears and simply melting his heart.
Back then, Shao Ci was in shock that there was such a beautiful lower class Zerg. He thought the child had been envied because he was too attractive, so he had been beaten up so severely.
As a face-con, Shao Ci would help even without being given a reason. He sneakily brought the teenager to somewhere without anyone around, bringing food to him every day. Because he was afraid his ability would be discovered, he only used a little bit of his ability to heal the other person in secret.
But when the teenager’s injuries were healed, he disappeared. Shao Ci had felt a little regretful, but he quickly forgot about it… He never expected that this teenager would be a villain, and that he actually came over to look for him. This kind of drama wouldn’t lose to the original novel’s plotline.
“When my injuries were pretty much healed, my grandfather’s people found me. At first, I wanted to take you with me, but I was too weak back then, and nobody listened to me when I spoke. Grandfather even thought that being saved by a lower class Zerg was a disgrace to the entire family. He wanted me to forget about it,” Islair hurried to explain. “Oh, I don’t mean to demean lower class Zergs in the slightest.”
“Mm, I believe you.” Even if Shao Ci didn’t believe it, he wouldn’t say that.
“After that, even though I didn’t bring it up, I was always thinking about it in my heart,” Islair said. “Until recently, when I finally became strong enough, I asked around to find news about you. At first, I wanted to come directly here to find you. But I was afraid there would be an accident when people found out, so I just bought the mining planet.”
Although Shao Ci had an idea of Islair’s background, he was awed by this heroic display. “…” This person’s money was something that he couldn’t even attain after hundreds of years of hard work! No, lower class Zergs didn’t even have wages.
“You don’t need to worry anymore. I’ve already killed the resistors.” Islair’s voice became terrifying. He leaned in closer and closer, almost touching Shao Ci’s forehead. “There won’t be anyone else separating us anymore. I can take you directly away from this place.”
Shao Ci: “!” Hey, is it really okay to say something so scary! The original character setting had completely broken down in seconds! And most importantly, why was it still so gay!
The author has something to say:

Hmm, it seems Shao Ci Will be tossed around between the villain and the hero once more time.
Thanks for the chapter!
omg we have the same thoughts!! and they’re just superhumans aren’t they >.> Thank you for reading!
AHHH He died 🙁 I didn’t forget about the vine, but even in death Yu Shao was cruel..
At first I thought Yin Han was Islair, but I’m having doubts now.
LOL @ Shao Ci “I hope I wont meet so many gays.” Sorry buddy.
Author, I also have a strange obsession with the Zerg..
OK that was a super long chapter! Thanks for all your hard work. <3
I’m sad because I wanted at least a bit about a happy ending with Yin Han first :'( my ship has sunk… Thank you for reading!!
I thought Yu Shao was Islair! He did say,
“I finally found you.” “I even wondered what I would do if I couldn’t find you. This time, I absolutely won’t let go of you…” And the fact that his the villain made me think that what if he also transmigrated and remembered their past lol😂
I KNOW!! I thought the same exact thing and I was on the edge of my seat about it, but then it turns out it’s not that kind of plotline >.> Thanks for reading!
Wow, the chapter title is so accurate, this really is such a dog blood beginning lol 😆
Thanks for the chapter! 😘
Thanks for reading <3
I actually found a gem! I feel sad about the ending of the first arc but I am quite interested in the zerg arc, I can’t wait for the next chapter. Thank you for translating this one! I’m looking forward for the updates!
I’m glad you’re enjoying it!!! Thank you for reading 😇
i just want to know who is the ML? or all of them are the same person?
It’s 1v1 but if you want to know more you will have to go seek out spoilers! Thank you for reading 🙂
(:’3」∠) I don’t feel so good bout the first arc ending, author-sama, I feel sad. I feel so unsatisfied.
On the other note, Author’s honesty is cracking me up, first its their dark taste and now its Zerg Obsession hahahah I really can’t hate you author-sama, your too cute (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ))
Thanks for the chappie! ( ˘ ³˘)♡
also agree, didn’t think he would just die and be done >.> I was waiting for a ML confirmation haha. Thank you for reading + all your comments! they are giving me lots of energy <3 <3
Honestly wanted to see what happened to the world’s protagonist after MC left. Shame Author didn’t add into it. The ending of the first arc felt so abrupt.
(⁄ฅ⁄⁄ฅ⁄⁄) didn’t expect you to read em, I feel so shy, hahahhaha jk
( ˘ ³˘)♡ loving your translations. I’ll be following you for a while
Buh buh buh buh buh. Pretty boi’s protag powers had better come thru! Otherwise….isn’t Chi just another companion lost? :pepecri:
zerg smerg I like our new guy
Thank you for the chapter!!
Like @ Trap2moon said, i quote.
“I hope i won’t meet so many gays” sorry buddy.
Cause your creator won’t dissapoint us reader🤭
I guess between the villain in the story and ‘us’ reader. Aren’t even more vicious?
Lamo😆
Why I do feel like shao Chi system is a scum? To befriend you purposely and throw you away the moment someones powerful than you? This System is worst of worst. The targets are so pitiful… I feel very sorry and honestly I want to shao Chi head if he’s mentally retarded.
SC was left with no choice so… 🤷♂️ and i pity the capture targets too but their yandere tendencies are to be blamed too ynno. the system and the ML are nuts 😂 i love it 🙃
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA accept your fate to be chased by gay 😂
Thank you so much for translating yan.yan 🐈
Ahhh I feel so bad for Yu Shao wuwuwu… I was lowkey rooting for him
Is this Yin HAN???? him wanting to grow stronger and saying no one will separate them 🤔
Wait is this the last we’ll get to see of Yin Han and Shao Ci?? I really wanted to see just what Yin Han was going to do to Shao Ciao T-T
I’ve been been deprived of sadistic and/or fluffy joys!!
Hope the new villain and protagonist can sate my craving for fictional doting yanderes…
Thank you for this bittersweet chapter!
O h. So. No shipping in this book?? WAAAAAH why did he die just like that QAQ
I think Islair is Yu Shao, when he fed Shao Ci his crystal that allowed him to travel with him from world to world??? (Just my thought)
Also when Yi Han fed Shao Ci his blood, maybe that would also make him travel to different worlds with Shao Ci (idk!!!)
WTF 🤯🤯 I’m still trying to get over the first story ending into the second one is just squished my face I wish that it was separated to the next chapter my brain hurts trying to understand everything I didn’t think this was a multiple tramsigation story when The system changed targets again in the end I laughed 😂and then I cried 😭a bit the ending very yandere no he😩
After reading that ending I jumped the rest of the chapter just to complain. That was a really bad ending like what was the whole point of that arc?? It was not satisfying at all psh! (｀ﾍ´)=3 I’m soo pissed the male leads are so pitiful, bah! U just left him hanging just like that?! After all his efforts?? My ghaaadd.. author nim..
OK back to reading..
You’ll bump into more gay plots and stuffs because you’re gay and you should be more proud. Your closet is made of glass, you know ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I was thinking if Islair is either Yin Han or Yu Shao,but let’s also not forget
Abt Chu Jin
fiquei com tanto medo de Islair for uma das almas daqueles três lunáticos… não quero mais toxicidade por aqui!
that ending im crying my heart hurts so much
I volunteer as a tribute
The zombie arc ending!! 😭😭😭
Erm just blame the system that mc going to “bend” the big thighs. Lol thank you
