Befriending the Most Powerful PersonCh31 - Transmigrated into the protagonist gong novel’s cannon fodder

And across from Pei Fan, already kneeling on the ground and covering his wound, panting, was Islair.

When the two of them saw Shao Ci, they both froze. krsLdZ

Shao Ci felt that he had run into a battlefield, but he didn’t actually want to run into these circumstances!! No, Pei Fan shouldn’t have any thoughts towards him. The two of them were just superior and subordinate.

Exactly. Because Pei Fan was too cold and hid his passion too well, Shao Ci didn’t know what he was thinking even now.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“…!” Islair seemed to want to say something, but when he opened his mouth, blood immediately spilled out from his lips. He unwillingly crashed to the ground, coughing.

And Pei Fan just walked quickly towards Shao Ci. AxWSUO

Shao Ci unconsciously stepped back, but because he was in the middle of a heat, it was completely impossible for him to go too far. He had to reach out to prop himself on the wall, supporting himself in a standing position. “…!” System, let him leave now! Oh, he wondered what would happen to this body after he left the world.

[Because this body is only being maintained thanks to the host’s healing ability, if the host leaves, this body will immediately shrivel up. Something like the last world won’t happen.]

“Wait, what do you mean something like the last world?! What happened in the last world?!” Shao Ci felt like he had suddenly heard some very serious news.

[Host, it’s better if you don’t know.]

What could Yin Han do to a corpse?!

Terrifying images flashed through Shao Ci’s mind. “…” That’s right, a person’s curiosity couldn’t be too rich… He should pretend that he doesn’t know.

As Shao Ci was thinking, Pei Fan had already walked over to him. His expression was complicated. “I finally found you. Back then, you really tricked me.”

“Oh… Yeah, it’s been a long time.” To be honest, in Shao Ci’s memory they had only separated half a month ago, but how could he say that out loud at this kind of time? Then he hastily said, “Although Islair and I have a connection, when I was with you guys I worked with all my heart…” He began to cough. Before he could continue, he was coughing up blood. 9WSog3

“Are you okay?” Pei Fan was startled. “You don’t look very good.”

Well, duh! He had overdrawn on his lifespan and even got himself into heat, how could he be doing good!

“No, listen to me first. I absolutely didn’t think of spying…” Shao Ci continued to cough. He had to prove himself innocent before he left.

“I believe you,” Pei Fan said. “I still remember what happened that day crystal clear… If it wasn’t for you, my life would have been gone. How could I not believe you… After that, I was working hard, hoping to take you away one day.” 0NIRw3

Shao Ci covered his mouth, coughing, but the blood was still spilling out continuously. “Sorry… I… probably can’t endure…”

Say, was eating his lunchbox in front of the original protagonist every time going to become a habit?!

Pei Fan took Shao Ci’s hand in shock. In the next moment, Shao Ci’s vision turned black. He fell forward, sinking completely into unconsciousness.

[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.] Ot qxL

Shao Ci felt that the system was getting more and more careless.

Before, he only transmigrated into a world as someone who, despite having some problems, most people generally saw as a straight male (the important part). In any case, it seemed that there weren’t any problems.

But now, the system actually had him transmigrate straight into a BL novel. Shao Ci was already being poisoned to death just looking at the original novel… He didn’t need to think about the system’s sinister intentions to be clear about them, but he was resolute! 51liJP

Even if he had slept with a guy, even if he had kissed a guy, Shao Ci still felt that he was a straight… Forget it, he suddenly felt like he couldn’t say anything.

There were three genders in this world. They were divided into alphas, betas, and omegas. The difference was roughly that alphas couldn’t get pregnant, and betas and omegas both could (._.) and omegas had a heat that was even scarier than a Zerg’s.

Although there were males and females in these three genders, from Shao Ci’s understanding, it seemed that there were girls with peepees who were together, and there was no difference from being gay… Female omegas and such were simply the clear springs in this world!

And this was a novel where the main gong had a harem. The protagonist, Pei Shijian, was an alpha. He was born in the slums, only knowing that his mother died because of the difficult birth. He didn’t know who his father was, and grew up in a welfare agency. Naturally, in this kind of novel with an unknown father, the protagonist’s background was terrifying. Pei Shijian’s biological father was actually the empire’s emperor. rISYd7

Although he was just an orphan, Pei Shijian was extremely gifted, and his face was quite attractive. Using schemes and tricks, he made his way up step by step, using countless people and discovering his own background. Finally, he succeeded in the struggle for the throne and became emperor, becoming a winner in life.

The protagonist would seek revenge for anything. He was a deep schemer. When someone displeased him, he wouldn’t say anything, but in secret he would get revenge with ruthless methods.

Who knew how many boys had gone through this. Shao Ci didn’t feel too much about it at first. He wouldn’t care at all if it wasn’t for the fact that he had actually transmigrated into a cannon fodder, and it was even a male beta cannon fodder who would often sneer with a tone that was just looking for a beating. XtqW8G

Anyone would know that a character who offended so many people couldn’t keep going in this kind of novel, okay!! Out of the people who taunted Pei Shijian, if their reputations weren’t utterly ruined, then they were furiously eating their lunchboxes. And Shao Ci, who had transmigrated into this cannon fodder, was even more miserable.

After this cannon fodder had been wrongly named a peeping tom (and it was a peeping tom who was looking into the men’s bathroom), because the situation was too embarrassing, he had been ruthlessly expelled from the school… And when he was on the way home, the protagonist’s worshippers had people tie him up and take him away.

Shao Ci transmigrated right into that moment. He was bound in ropes, laying on the ground, and his clothes were already torn up. At the side, there was someone holding a whip, constantly lashing him. The system suppressed most of the pain, but it was inhumane to feel the pain that came time and time again.

“What the fuck?!” Shao Ci simply didn’t understand why it was such a heavy start. It was whatever to transmigrate into a BL ABO world. Now that he had come somewhere where he was being whipped, could it still be better? ZGI3 h

At the side, there was a young man wearing black. He was extremely attractive, so that he could even be called beautiful, but he wasn’t feminine. But his handsome face was filled with disgust. He looked down at Shao Ci, having his lackeys continue to brandish the whips.

[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 Ji Zhaoyun.]

Ji Zhaoyun was the son of a duke with a honorable status. He was a naturally gifted alpha, and he was one of the original protagonist Pei Shijian’s fanboys… In the future, he would also give Pei Shijian a lot of help.

Although Pei Shijian had just entered the military academy, he was already an influential figure in the school. The first time he participated in the mecha tournament on the virtual net, he fought his way into the top hundred. Ji Zhaoyun was one of the fanboys that became a fan of Pei Shijian after the tournament. 3osqF7

Besides, Ji Zhaoyun’s personality was completely that of an arrogant, spoiled young master. After finding out that the person he worshipped had actually been taunted—and by a laze-about beta, too—he was extremely unhappy. He grabbed Shao Ci, who had dared to sneer at Pei Shijian.

“You actually had the guts to mock Senior Pei.” Ji Zhaoyun laughed coldly. “But you’re just a useless beta. Where did this courage come from?”

Shao Ci: “!” Hey, this is gender discrimination!! Don’t think you’re so amazing just because you’re an alpha, how is being a gender with pain-in-the-ass heats any better than the convenience of being a beta?

“It seems you’re pretty strong-willed.” When he saw that Shao Ci wanted to retort, Ji Zhaoyun snorted. “Whip a bit harder. We’ll see how long you can take it.” NndZv3

Wait, he wasn’t strong-willed! Stop quickly!

“I…” can’t endure any more… Before he finished begging for mercy, because he was hungry and tired and had been whipped for so long, he finally fainted.

Shao Ci didn’t wake up until an unknown amount of time later.

He was, of course, still laying in a little black room. How could someone like Ji Zhaoyun prepare a place to live for someone he dragged here to beat!! Tqyi1B

The little black room was clearly used for illegal punishment, but because the duke was rich enough to use his money to shut people up, the floor even had a rug spread over it. It was at least better than sleeping on normal floorboards.

There wasn’t even a window on the wall. The door was also shut tightly. There was no way for Shao Ci, who felt weak all over, to escape.

Normally, what Ji Zhaoyun was doing was illegal, but with his status, even if he beat Shao Ci to death, nobody would have the courage to set things straight with him.

“This is basically murder.” Shao Ci used his ability to heal his wounds before he was able to recover some energy. But he was still hungry and thirsty and tired, and his clothes were still torn up. There was even some crusted blood on his clothes. He was ready to collapse. cVGtD6

He had never made an enemy of the original protagonist and an entire group of people right after transmigrating!!

This was beginning right at hell level. What in the world was he going to do?

As soon as he thought about the capture target Ji Zhaoyun, Shao Ci felt that the future was dim. But if the capture target was the original protagonist, the situation would be impossible to look at… He knew what the original protagonist would never be good to someone who had cursed him out just by thinking about it!

The one thing that he was able to rejoice in was that he had transmigrated into a beta. How nice was it to be a beta! Shao Ci felt very emotional. He had already had enough of things like heats! XlOjtq

[Actually, host, you’re an omega pretending to be a beta.]

Shao Ci: “…Huh?!”

Shao Ci thought back to the members in the body he had transmigrated into. The original owner’s father was a downtrodden noble, and his mother, who had squeezed her way into the upper class, was the daughter of a rich merchant. They sent their only child into the military academy with the help of their family’s connections.

Although it wasn’t mentioned in the original novel, it was obvious after a bit of thought. The original owner who had offended the original protagonist had definitely caused his entire family to fall into a sorry state. XwVErC

“Wait, I don’t have a reason that makes me have to pretend to be a beta, right?!” Shao Ci said. “Why not think about how strange it is for a cannon fodder that was here for faceslapping to have such a background!”

[These are all settings patched in by the world consciousness. It’s probably because the original host’s mother can’t have any more children, and omegas can’t inherit titles. Being afraid the title would fall into other hands, the original host was forced into pretending to be a beta.]

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Shao Ci: “…Th-then it’s already been concealed for ten-some years. There won’t be any problems if I keep concealing it, right?”

[The inhibitors on the host have a strong effect. As long as no alphas mark the host, there won’t be any problems.] dYLOXr

“System, why do I feel like your words are always some flags.” Shao Ci’s face was green. But when he thought about how most of the alphas in this world were gays who liked other alphas (deduced from the original protagonist’s harem), he felt he wouldn’t have any problems.

Shao Ci struggled in the little black room for a long time, continuously using his healing ability to replenish his blood before he was able to recover half of his strength and stop laying prone on the ground. Today, Shao Ci discovered this healing ability really was convenient as long as it wasn’t a nonhuman living being.

Soon, the sound of footsteps came from outside. Shao Ci’s heart tensed, and he quickly laid back on the ground, pretending to be unconscious. If Ji Zhaoyun saw that he was as lively as a golden retriever and decided to whip him a few more times, it would be no good.

This time, there was only the sound of one person. The door opened, and a voice full of loathing came. “Hmph, you really are trash. Wasn’t it just a few whippings? But you’re still not awake.” k e2Fl

Shao Ci: “…” You try not eating or drinking after getting beaten up and laying here for an entire day!!

[Daily task refreshed. The current task is [Kiss the capture target once]. Host, please do your best.]

Shao Ci: “???” System, you… Hey, don’t lose have such an immoral setting as soon as it’s a BL world??

Well, forget it. He’d even had sex now, what was a kiss? CRpZgd

After the WTF situation from the last world, Shao Ci had become very indifferent.

As Ji Zhaoyun looked at the pallid youth laying on the ground, he actually felt that Shao Ci was a little bit pitiful. Immediately, he was disgusted by his own thoughts.

He remembered his goal in coming. Using hands covered by gloves, Ji Zhaoyun grabbed Shao Ci by the collar, his eyes flashing with disgust and thinking about how he would throw away the gloves that had touched Shao Ci when he went out later. He said coldly, “Trash, wake up!”

As an outstanding alpha, Ji Zhaoyun had innate disdain for betas. He even looked down on betas who were the same noble rank as he was. There was no need to talk about Shao Ci, whose father came from a tiny noble family. As long as Ji Zhaoyun wanted to, he could have Shao Ci’s entire family driven away from the planet the very next day. 3D5sbR

Shao Ci finally pretended to be waking up slowly. He said weakly, “W-what are you doing?”

“You got lucky. I wouldn’t let you go so easily if it wasn’t for the fact it’d be a bother to clean up after a death.” Ji Zhaoyun remembered what his older brother had told him that morning and snorted coldly. “Hmph. Hurry up, get up and get things together. You’re going with me to apologize to Senior Pei today. Don’t think you can get out of it by playing dead. I won’t let you go as long as Senior Pei doesn’t accept your apology.”

But Shao Ci didn’t absorb any of the later words that Ji Zhaoyun said. He was thinking about something even more serious.

Did he fail to complete his daily task and get the system’s abuse, or did he complete the daily task and get beaten by Ji Zhaoyun? These two situations swirled around in Shao Ci’s head. 0RdNtK

It was obvious which one was scarier. Compared to the soul-crushing torture from the system, Ji Zhaoyun wouldn’t hurt him much even if he was whipping him for an entire afternoon.

After he made his decision, Shao Ci heartlessly, firmly grabbed Ji Zhaoyun’s hand.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Ji Zhaoyun didn’t expect that Shao Ci actually had the guts to resist. He also didn’t expect that Shao Ci still had the energy to grab him. He was stunned, then furious. He, someone with such a high status, was actually given a sneak attack by a useless beta. This was simply the most embarrassing thing to happen to him in his entire life.

Without waiting for Ji Zhaoyun to move, Shao Ci suddenly leaned in. kcHqNP

Because he was too rushed, rather than saying Shao Ci leaned in, it was more accurate to say that he knocked his head towards Ji Zhaoyun. With strength that came out of nowhere, he managed to press Ji Zhaoyun directly to the ground. His teeth even scraped Ji Zhaoyun’s lip. The scent of blood dissipated from between them.

Ji Zhaoyun laid on the soft grass in a trance, seeming like he could see a faint fragrance coming from Shao Ci’s body. His lips were unimaginably soft. He was clearly just a beta, so why could he actually…

Shao Ci was simply acting as though he was about to die. When he heard the system’s prompt that the task was completed, he slowly sat back.

“…” Alright, now he could wait for Ji Zhaoyun’s temper to erupt. kTd9vQ

The room sank into an unusual silence.

“You… B-brazen! Shameless! That was my fir-first…” When Ji Zhaoyun finally reacted, he immediately sat up, wiping off the blood at his mouth quickly. He gritted his teeth. “So you’re going to offend me. You’re just an insignificant waste beta, but you actually did something like this… I absolutely won’t let you off!”

Shao Ci had already prepared to get whipped. He lowered his head, closing his eyes, but after a long time, nothing happened. He opened his eyes in confusion.

And he was pressed down by Ji Zhaoyun, who kissed him abruptly. 0OZYcm

Shao Ci’s heart flew into a panic. “…Mmmm?!” Wait, the revenge Ji Zhaoyun was talking about was this kind?!

Ji Zhaoyun seemed like he was competing with Shao Ci. He gripped Shao Ci’s jaw stubbornly, opening his mouth and using his tongue to invade his mouth. Although he had never kissed anyone before and his actions were a little unfamiliar, Shao Ci almost couldn’t breathe.

When Shao Ci was kissed until he was about to faint, Ji Zhaoyun finally leaned back proudly. He reached out to lift Shao Ci’s chin. “Hmph. You’re just a waste and you want to compete with me.”

Shao Ci looked at Ji Zhaoyun in shock. “…” Was this something normal people would do?! e6BsoQ

Or was this perfectly normal in an ABO world… After all, men could even get pregnant and women could have pee-pees. What was impossible?

“Still, since you made an enemy of me, I won’t let you go so randomly.” Ji Zhaoyun snorted again. “I have to lock you up. I’ll make you understand how things will end when you offend me.”

Immediately, Ji Zhaoyun rushed out.

Shao Ci stayed in the room, trembling in wait of the end Ji Zhaoyun was waiting for. Of course, when he was waiting, he switched rooms. 0qpPms

This was a room in quite decent condition. There was a bed, a bathroom, and a desk. There was even a helmet that could surf the net!

Hey, did Ji Zhaoyun really have the intentions to illegally imprison him?! He even had things that could connect to the outside world set out openly in the room.

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

But even if he could connect to the outside world, Shao Ci despairingly discovered that he still had no way to leave… Even his parents had no way to take him away.

It seemed that Ji Zhaoyun didn’t have a big heart. He just had absolute faith that Shao Ci wouldn’t escape. euUHYG

Shao Ci couldn’t understand what Ji Zhaoyun was trying to do either. In any case, it was boring to stay here, so he put on the helmet.

The virtual world was no different from the real world. In the future, there were many people who stayed engrossed in the virtual world all day, because in the virtual world, they didn’t need to worry about heats or anything like that. The omegas who could only stay in school and or at a home especially liked to stay in the virtual world. There were even game cabins with nutrient fluids made for these people, which could let them stay in the virtual world for two to three days.

If they were like Shao Ci and used the helmet to connect to the net, they were forced to disconnect every five or six hours to eat.

After Shao Ci put on the helmet, his consciousness went straight to a lively street. It was full of people. Nobody noticed Shao Ci. They were all looking at the fight on the virtual screen at the side in excitement. LuQntp

Shao Ci’s attention was also drawn by the fight. When he read the novel’s introduction, he understood that other than ABO, this world also had a mecha setting, but it was his first time seeing them for real.

On the virtual screen, there were two mechas fighting fiercely. One of them was gorgeous and even had a high-tech weapon, but its opponent was an old, worn-out mecha that looked like it was about to fall apart.

The victor seemed obvious, but in reality the gorgeous mecha was suffering defeat after defeat, and the worn-out mecha was growing more and more valiant. It had an overwhelming advantage.

Everyone was excited. They kept cheering. It was obvious that they were fans of the worn-out mecha. u956eX

“How awesome…” Shao Ci couldn’t stop himself from crying out.

Someone next to him said in excitement, “After all, that’s the amazing Time! Although he’s a newcomer to the competition this time, he’s this strong! Even if he’s using an outdated mecha, nobody can compete with him! I think he’ll definitely get to the finals this time!”

Shao Ci: “…!”

Wasn’t the guy named Time the Pei Shijian from the original novel?! yQPC3O
