33. Is She Intentionally Making Him Break Character?
Originally, Yan Zhen was very worried that using the “Taichi Shock” to defeat Yan Mo would affect the completion level of the plot. It seemed that this plot segment was “learning a general mystic technique from the beautiful master and then using this general mystic technique to defeat Yan Mo in the family competition”. The discrepancies in the details could be ignored.
[Host is wrong. The details cannot be ignored.]
“But I didn’t follow those details, and the plot still reached 100% completion.”
[That’s because the system made corrections for the plot flaws, but the system’s ability to correct is limited. Once it exceeds the system’s capabilities, the plot will become distorted. Please try your best to completely restore the plot.]
“Damn, why didn’t you say so earlier? Fortunately, I tried my best to bring everything back on track before.”
Yan Zhen was startled and secretly rejoiced at his professional attitude. He didn’t stop acting just because one or two characters broke their character settings.
“System-chan, is there anything else you haven’t told me? For example, what happens if the plot completion doesn’t reach 100%?”
[It means the host’s acting skills are like dog shit and need to be redone. Ptooey!]
The system’s tone was very disdainful, but its expression was quite stiff.
Yan Zhen sweated a little. It was the first time he heard the system talk like this.
“Can we start over?”
[Yes.]
“Unlimited?”
[Three times at most.]
“Three times, that’s good. There’s a certain margin for error.” Yan Zhen nodded with satisfaction. “What else? Is there anything else you haven’t said?”
[Congratulations to the host for completing the key plot of the family competition. The host is so handsome, mwah~]
“…”
So there’s no need for a bunch of codes for the kiss sound!
Yan Zhen casually put away the system interface and stood on the stage to accept Yan Lie’s praise and award. The prize was ten thousand crystal coins and a Condensed Mystic Pill.
Ten thousand crystal coins were quite a lot as pocket money. What was truly valuable was the Condensed Mystic Pill. This was a second-grade medicinal pill that could only be refined by a second-grade alchemist. It was used for advancing from Mystic Disciple to Mystic One and was extremely precious.
However, the beautiful master could easily refine Condensed Mystic Pills with even higher quality, so it seemed rather useless to Yan Zhen.
—Should I give it to Meng’er?
In the script, there was a scene of secretly giving medicine to Yan Meng’er.
As for the ten thousand crystal coins, it was better than nothing. After all, Yan Zhen had millions in his possession. In three months, he only spent around five hundred thousand, most of which was used to buy medicinal materials for cultivation. The remaining nine million was enough for him to spend for a long time.
After receiving the reward, the competition officially ended, and the family members rarely gathered for a meal.
“Zhen’er, I was really surprised that you actually advanced to Mystic Disciple 8th stage.”
At the table, Yan Lie couldn’t stop smiling. His old eyes kept looking at Yan Zhen with incomparable pride.
Other uncles and elders also said some close words to him.
Yan Zhen smiled shyly, not paying much attention to it.
“Eh? Zhen’er, your aura doesn’t seem like Mystic Disciple 8th stage?”
Yan Zhen was startled, thinking if Grandpa had noticed that he was concealing his cultivation level.
In the Mystic Disciple realm, the mystic power was low. Unless one actively probed, it was very difficult to judge the specific strength of a Mystic Disciple just by sensing the aura.
However, Yan Lie was at the Mystic General realm and had keen insight. It was normal for him to see through it.
But according to the script, he should be at the 8th stage now. It was best to hide the matter of advancing to the 9th stage.
“You- you saw through it, Grandpa. To be honest, I might break through to the 9th stage very soon.”
“What? You’re going to break through again? Good, very good. As expected of my grandson!”
“Hehehe~”
Yan Zhen was a little flustered. After eating a few bites, he found an excuse and quickly slipped away from Yan Lie’s watchful eyes, returning to his room and tightly closing the door.
After drinking some tea and lying on the bed, Yan Zhen brought up the system interface and claimed the plot completion reward.
“Special Trump Card: Cross-Stage Combat? After using it, you can contend against a powerful enemy one major realm above your own, limited to below Mystic King.”
Ah, this—
“Isn’t Cross-Stage Combat a standard configuration for the protagonist? How can it be given out as a reward? System, you’re being too perfunctory.” Yan Zhen was a bit dissatisfied. “And last time, the reward for cultivating a general mystic technique was called ‘Special Trump Card: Lucky Pervert’. What’s the use of that?”
[Special Trump Card: Lucky Pervert can actively trigger lucky pervert events, facilitating the host in completing related plots. Although this is a harem novel world without a female lead, being a lucky pervert is a standard configuration for the protagonist and is indispensable.]
“So don’t treat standard configurations as rewards!”
Yan Zhen tried hard to retort, “And aren’t there any cooler cards? Like ones that can become my Tamashii(1)*, a blue dragon, a black mage, and such.”
[None.]
“…”
Tap tap tap, someone knocked on the door, and a girl’s coquettish voice also came through:
“Cousin, it’s me~”
Yan Zhen got off the bed and ran to open the door, letting her in. But he saw that the stupid cousin had a pitiful expression on her face and was holding a small whip in her hand.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Is cousin angry at Meng’er again?”
“No, I’m not.”
“Don’t say you’re not. We agreed to go for a walk together after dinner, but cousin left Meng’er behind and went off alone.”
Oh no, he was thinking about not letting Grandpa find out that he had concealed his cultivation level, so he slipped away early and forgot about the agreement to take a walk with Meng’er after the meal. How embarrassing.
Yan Zhen scratched his head and said awkwardly, “That was… an accident?”
However, Yan Meng’er didn’t believe his words and said with teary eyes, “Meng’er knows she shouldn’t have surrendered on her own during the competition, making cousin’s victory not glorious enough. So Meng’er prepared the whip herself. Cousin can whip Meng’er’s butt to vent his anger, just like in the martial arts field.”
As she spoke, she stuffed the whip into Yan Zhen’s hand, then leaned against the table and stuck out her jade butt, slightly closing her moist eyes, looking like a punching bag.
Yan Zhen looked at the small whip in his hand, then at Yan Meng’er’s perky little butt. Many strange plays involuntarily appeared in his mind, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
Too perverted! Totally incompatible with his protagonist character setting! He couldn’t fall for it!
Yan Zhen quickly threw away the small whip that was like a hot potato and said solemnly, “I’m really not angry. Meng’er, you don’t have to be like this.”
Yan Meng’er’s eyes welled up with tears, both shy and heartbroken, “Cousin won’t forgive Meng’er?”
“No, that’s not it—”
“—If cousin doesn’t want to use the whip, he can also use his hand directly. Meng’er, Meng’er will obediently accept it~”
“…”
What kind of weird development is this!? The stupid cousin always adds strange scenes on the spot. It’s really unbearable!
Yan Zhen, who was originally not angry at all, now felt a bit angry. In a moment of agitation, he slapped Yan Meng’er’s raised butt.
Smack!
The crisp sound echoed in the room, along with the girl’s pained moan.
A moan that was both soft and alluring.
Yan Meng’er bit her cherry-pink lips and turned her head, saying pitifully, “Cousin, can you be gentler?”
Yan Zhen’s blood instantly surged. For a moment, he had the idea of turning into a beast.
Coming back to his senses, he was both scared and furious: Was this girl deliberately making him break character?
Tamashii(1)*:
The term “Tamashii” first appeared in the original Yu-Gi-Oh series, referring to the protagonist’s ace monster or important card. For example, in Yu-Gi-Oh 5D’s, the protagonist Yusei says “My soul” when summoning his “Red Dragon Archfiend”. “Tamashii” can also mean a player’s favorite anime character’s signature monster, such as “Dark Magician” or “Blue-Eyes White Dragon”.
