There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions of Starting a Harem-Chapter 4

The tense and upsetting day finally over. Ye Zhizhou roll around in his blanket, constantly letting out a sound.

He's really exhausted, but in order to survive……

[You did really well.]

The compact mirror once again talked to him without showing a live screen.

Ye Zhizhou hadn't finish breathing out yet and almost got choking. He coughed, couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

[Please keep working hard.]

He didn't want to work hard at all.

[Mission failure means dead.]

……well, everything for survival.

[Every time you complete the mission, I will give you an upgrade and a reward.]

Ye Zhizhou struggle with the carp……too much fat, not right. He sat up and stare and the screen. His voice rise in surprise, "Every time? Are there a lot of this world saving mission?"

[A lot.]

The screen displayed the answer that make him despair. Soon it showed an even more despairing news,

[Complete the progress bar and you can return home.]

The very long progress bar. It divided into approximately a hundred small parts. Currently, it only had two small parts that sparkling.

"……after the progress bar been filled, my body would already rotten and only bones would remain, right?

[Rest assured. Even if you lived in the mission world for thousands years, it only equivalent to just a second in your own world.]

No, he didn't feel reassured.

[The system can upgrade your spirit to level 3 free of charge.]

Ye Zhizhou's face instantly brightened up. He immediately ask for the details, "Really? You can do this much? Level 2 and level 3 difference is not little. In a whole empire, a level 3 spirit can be counted with just two hands. If what system said is true……"

[It's true. I didn't deceive you. As long as the energy is sufficient, everything is possible.]

He stare with big eyes, his heart speed accelerate. He urgently said, "Give that upgrade to me now!" A level 3 spirit force can separate itself from the body and change into essence. It's practically a necessary killer tool for the home travel.

[Wait until the progress bar is complete.]

"Can't you upgrade it first……"

[I can't.]

"But……"

[There're no shortcut to success.]

"……"

[Sufficient amount of rest is the basic need to guarantee the mission success. Host, good night.]

"……" This is one annoying system.

Ye Zhizhou is fidgeting around in his sleep. In his dream, he see his face at some sort of screen being shot in the head. His breath became difficult and his mind became heavy. At 5.30 in the morning, he finally awake by the torment.

"Shit."

[What?] The screen quickly shown before his eyes, respond as the man started moving.

"I'm having a hard time breathing and having a restless sleep. Am I still not adapting here?" He started recalling his memory and remembering the past. Although he always sleep without eating, but the sleep quality is always good. Until the transmigration of himself, he silently starde and felt suffocated.

The screen is flashing like a scanner and sweeping it over his body, then casually popped out some lines, [The spirit circulation doesn't have any issue. The body is 100% fit. You couldn't sleep well because you're too fat.]

Too fat……the original character doesn't have a heavy heart, but rather he has a heavy body.

He sat up from the bed, clenching his fat palm, and seriously said, "I want to lose some weight." who knew how much time it'll take to complete this mission. In order to raise his life quality, he thought it's better to lose some weight.

The screen flashed again, the compact mirror on the bedside cabinet automatically open, showing a small brown pill inside it.

[Eat.]

"What is this?"

[A Xi Sui pill.]

This abrupt name just feels somewhat wrong. To suddenly have a product come over from a high tech society made Ye Zhizhou doesn't dare to consume it.

[Trust me.]

"……"

[You have no choice but to trust me.]

Well…… he and this system have to rely on each other to survive now. It seems he could only trust him.

The pill entered his mouth, not bitter at all, instead a faint sweetness melted from it. Then a warm feeling spread to his body, slowly wandering in a circle. It feels very comfortable. This kind of mysterious feeling make Ye Zhizhou closed his eyes in pleasure.

Two seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes and hurriedly went to the toilet.

From 5.30 a.m. to 6.00 a.m. Ye Zhizhou almost collapse from dehydration.

[Xi Sui pills are divided into three category: Low pill to strengthen one's body and health, Middle pill to improve one's appearance and nourish skin, High pill to wash out impurities on the body. The third one is the only one to mend one's body, discharge poison, and also good to raise body health. Please, don't panic.]

No, he's not panic, he just want to die.

The next day, Yun Ke didn't look sleep deprived. The housekeeper, Uncle Fu, is very happy as if he's celebrating the New Year. Later, with severe command, he prohibited anyone from going to the 2nd floor and disturb the Master. With smiling face, he swear on the dead lord and lady.

Ye Zhizhou's heart filled with smugness, looking at the protagonist's a bit stiff gentle smile. He sat on the car satisfyingly with mysterious smile and went to school.

High school life is dull and boring. Ye Zhizhou good intention soon disappeared. His patience had been spend on: flipping over Du Yang second grade textbook on the morning, rummaging through the first and third grade textbooks in the bookstore at lunch break, and then doing few sets of college entrance simulation problem on the afternoon. He got full mark after finishing the problem. After putting aside the test paper, he gazed at the sky in 45˚ with distress face…… not knowing whether Yun Ke and the woman will take advantage while he's at school and not at home. Whether they will sneak around and develop any harmonious man and woman relationship or not.

"Heaven, what if I'm skipping grade? Then I can try college entrance next year. This way I'll have more time to observe the protagonist." A second year high school student totally doesn't have any freedom ah, it's so painful.

The compact mirror automatically open, showing a small green pill inside.

"……What is it?"

A reward for skipping grade. It's a Qingxin Yulu pill, to refresh and clear up mind at any time to keep your most clear-headed self.

It seems he agreed with this skipping grade idea, but……

"Heaven, you actually selling fake drugs, right?"

Heaven played dead, ignoring him.

Ye Zhizhou accepted the pill with a good mood, then he get up and went out of the class.

At the interval time, he went to the teacher office. After knocking and get permission, he pushed the door & came in. he walked toward his homeroom teacher desk, showing a smile he said, "Teacher, my guardian want me to skipping grade. May I ask for the procedure?"

The teacher who was still marking the assignment paper suddenly slipped his hand.

______

Yun Yuan Company, top floor.

Yun Ke opened his computer browser with serious face, he type in keywords "sudden personality change" "introverted child sudden temper" "17 years old boy" and press enter.

The search result quickly popped out. He skip the huge pile of medical advertisements and finally click on one that similar to Q&A site.

Xuanyuan Longao Tian : Aiya, you don't have to worry la, your son just in his rebellion phase. It's not a big thing. The disobedient child just need a spanking. Just beat him a few times, then he'll be good.

Beat a few times……Yun Ke ferociously frowned and closed the page.

After he smoothly get full mark on the test and get the teacher approval, Ye Zhizhou happily returned home, he met Uncle Fu and smile, he asked, "Where is Brother Yun? I have a good news to tell him."

Infected by his smile, Uncle Fu also smile back. He got up and took the bag, he said, "Mr. Assistant called, he said there's a sudden meeting at the company, so Master will come back late today."

"He eat quickly every day because he always busy." Ye Zhuzhou frowned seeing Bai Li carrying a big lunchbox set from dining room. His mission radar instantly ringing, he asked, "Sister Lili, why are you holding a lunchbox?"

Bai Li seems already forgotten about their argument yesterday, she softly said, "I'm worried that Big Brother Yun will be too busy with his meeting and forget to eat. So I want to give this to him. The dinner already done, Xiao Yang, you eat first, OK? You don't need to wait for Big Brother Yun."

It's indeed the "gentle and considerate" protagonist setting. To be so thoughtful, but what's with her mistress attitude?

Ye Zhizhou frowned in his heart but step forward with a smile in his face, looking concerned and said, "Sister Lili, you just got discharge from the hospital a few days ago, you're still in recovery. What if you get exhausted later? Just go, I will deliver this food to Brother Yun for you. It's better for me to go, right? I also happen to have something important to talk with Brother Yun." Not waiting for the protagonist to respond, he snatched the lunchbox from her hand and run toward the door, then shouted out, "Uncle Li, start the car again. We're going to deliver food for Brother Yun."

"Ah, Xiao Yang, You don't need to, I……" Bai Li blankly stared at the boy who just like a shooting ball that instantly out and only left dust behind.

"Young master has truly grown up. I know he care about the Master very well ah." Uncle Fu sigh in gratitude and look at Bai Li with appreciation, "Xiao Li, you sure have your way. Young master is too introverted before. Thanks to your talk few days ago, now the young master seems to be more optimistic and energetic."

"No……It should be. You don't need to be so polite Uncle Fu." Bai Li stiffly pull up the corner of her mouth, her hands clench tightly, her fingernails almost nip her palm, "Xiao Yang really become more optimistic now, he also talk a lot more……"

The car stopped at the company gate, Ye Zhizhou send the driver to go and make arrangement. Carrying the big lunchbox, he use his "royal relative" status to use the exclusive and private elevator. He slowly walked around Yun Ke spacious and tidy office.

This is the first time the original character came to Yun Ke's company, of course it's also the first time for Ye Zhizhou. Yun Ke always showing off a strong and indifferent aura on him, unlike his office which give a warm feeling, a warm sense like home.

He put the lunchbox on the coffee table in the waiting area. He curiously walked around and examined the office. Soon after, it became dull, so he went back to the waiting area and sat on the sofa. He open the lunchbox that meticulously prepared by the protagonist.

Three dishes and one soup. Two non-vegetarian dishes and one vegetarian dish. There's also a fruit and a small pot of bright color tea.

The protagonist really prepare such fancy dishes……wait, tea? The protagonist still doesn't give up on this tea thing?

He cliqued his tongue and pick up the teapot. He look for the biggest cup there and pour it in. He held the cup to his nose and sniffed it. Then he drank a tiny bit of the tea and quietly savor the taste.

Fragrant light color, mild bitter taste with sweet aftertaste. After he drank the tea, there's a faint light feeling at the back of his head, as if his entire body is being surrounded by warm cloud. Even his spirit force has been weaken down.

This is not right!

He quickly retrieve back his soul from the pleasure state. He take the Qingxin Yulu pill given by system this afternoon and swallow it. After the pill melt inside, there's a cool substance went straight to his forehead. The next second, the muddle in his head suddenly clear up. His spirit force also regain its energy back.

He frowned at the cup with imposing eyes.

This tea is weird.

Yun Ke pushed the door and came in. he saw the boy looking bitterly at the cup and slightly frowned, "What are you doing here?"

Ye Zhizhou slowly lifted his eyes, his lips started moving, spitting out two words, "Testing poison."

"Pfft." The assistant who came in behind Yun Ke couldn't help but let out a laugh.

T/N :

Uncle Fu (Fu Bo), Uncle Li (Li Shu)

Bobo means father's older brother, shushu means father's younger brother. These also can be used for addressing older men, so they're not really the sibling of Du Yang's father. It also shows that Uncle Fu is older than Uncle Li.
