Transmigrated Into A Book And Became A Heartthrob Male Protagonist - Chapter 3

Outside the cave.

Hearing the gasps of his beloved Master—sounds that made his blood boil—Yun Fan stood up as if pulled by an invisible string, intending to walk into the cavern.

Inside, Lin Qing kept his eyes closed and gave no response. In his current state, it was impossible to produce a normal-sounding voice.

“Master, why are you silent? Your disciple is worried. If you do not speak, I shall come in.”

Yun Fan took a step toward the entrance.

Lin Qing hurriedly picked up the immortal sword beside him and threw it. As the spiritual power within the blade surged, an invisible wall of sword qi instantly sealed the entrance.

Fortunately, while this deceitful system had temporarily altered his physical constitution, Lin Qing still possessed the original body’s cultivation as a Sword Venerable.

Blocked by his Master’s natal sword, Yun Fan dared not advance further. His eyes flashed with a dark, brooding look, yet his voice remained respectfully compliant. “Master, I truly worry for you. Please, just let me look upon you once.”

Master’s voice just now sounded so delicate.

What is he doing in there? What kind of expression does he have right now? I want so badly to go in and see. I miss him so much it hurts.

[Ding-dong! Detected Yun Fan’s Heat Value +50.]

[I will screw your ancestors, you damn system! What the hell is Heat Value now?!]

[Dear, Nuannuan does not have ancestors. Host, you already know what kind of novel’s male lead you are. As the name implies, when a male supporting character is attracted to you, the energy the system extracts from them is called Heat Value. The main plot is only considered complete when the Heat Value meets certain criteria. If the Heat Value does not reach the desired effect, your main task will have to be restarted.]

[Get lost, you trash system!]

Listening to the ding-dong sounds in his head—Heat Value plus ten, twenty, thirty.

Lin Qing was both terrified and furious. What is that animal outside imagining about me?!

This godforsaken system! This godforsaken plot! This godforsaken setting!

[System, where did the original male lead of this world go?]

System: [The original male lead grew tired of his days as an nP novel protagonist, so he was selected and bound by another system and has left.]

Lin Qing fell silent.

The agonizing hour finally passed. Under Yun Fan’s hard work, the system’s Heat Value goal was easily met.

Lin Qing’s body recovered, and he leaped up from the ground with a swish. He performed a spell to change into fresh robes; his cold, indifferent expression showed no trace of the bizarre, flushing state from moments ago. Now, having regained his aura as a Sword Venerable, Lin Qing looked ethereal and unapproachable.

With a wave of his hand, the immortal sword standing at the cave entrance flew back to his waist. Lin Qing walked out. Hearing footsteps, Yun Fan immediately moved to greet him. “Master, are you alright? You just now”

Lin Qing cast a fleeting, freezing glance over him and spat out a single word. “Go.”

Yun Fan hurriedly lowered his head. “Yes.”

[Ding-dong! Yun Fan’s current Heat Value +5.]

The back of the white-clad Sword Venerable stumbled slightly. Meanwhile, the disciple behind him—whose mind was filled with adult materials—only felt that his Master was enchanting even from behind and noticed nothing amiss.

[Ding-dong! Congratulations to the host for completing the Prologue Main Plot: being heavily injured by the Demon Spider and successfully rescued by the disciple Yun Fan. Reward: 5 Little Yellow Flowers. Please keep up the good work and complete the subsequent tasks.]

Lin Qing: [Trash system, what are these Little Yellow Flowers supposed to be?]

System: [Dear, Little Yellow Flowers are rewards. They can be used to open the System Mall and exchange for gifts. Once you collect over 10,000 Little Yellow Flowers, you can exchange them for a Wish Voucher to realize any wish, even returning to your world for revenge. So, dear, please work hard to complete the main tasks.]

Lin Qing: [What if I do not?]

System: [Then, dear, you will return to your previous state and you will never be able to change back.]

This was a blatant threat.

Lin Qing gritted his teeth. [Fine. I will complete the tasks very well.]

[Ding-dong! Congratulations, dear, for completing the Daily Medicine Drinking plot. Reward: 1 Little Yellow Flower. Current total: 10 flowers. Achievement reached: System Mall Activated.]

The system’s snide electronic voice echoed in his head, pulling Lin Qing’s thoughts back to reality.

[Dear, the System Mall is open. Would you like to take a look?]

What kind of good things could be in this broken system’s mall? Lin Qing decisively rejected the proposal and closed the mall. His agreement to complete the system’s tasks was merely a temporary tactic. As for those trashy items in the mall, he would never use them on himself.

To protect his dignity as a straight man and find loopholes in the plot, Lin Qing had spent the past few days enduring his inner disgust to repeatedly analyze the world plot provided by the system.

This was an adult novel using cultivation as a fig leaf. The original body was a Sword Venerable, the primary disciple of the Eternal Lord. Born with extraordinary talent, he was worshipped and flattered by everyone in the cultivation world. However, everything changed after he took a disciple named Yun Fan.

Yun Fan was originally a beggar picked up by the Qinglian Sword Venerable ten years ago. Instead of thinking of repaying his Master, he harbored forbidden desires. This Yun Fan had a dark and twisted mind; he felt he was unworthy of the pure, stainless Sword Venerable. Instead of trying to improve himself, he wanted to drag the high and mighty Immortal down from his pedestal and into the mud, staining the Sword Venerable until he was even filthier than himself.

Yun Fan secretly conspired with the Demon King and the Ghost Lord, intentionally heading to a place infested with Demon Spiders. With their covert cooperation, he designed a trap where his Master, worried for him, would be heavily injured while saving him. Then, playing the role of the good disciple, he stayed by his Master’s side every day under the guise of careful nursing. In reality, he was lacing the daily medicinal soup with a drug that altered the body’s constitution.

Because of Lin Qing’s arrival, the Demon King and Ghost Lord did not even get a chance to act before he was injured by the spider’s venom. Fortunately, this kind of trashy novel focused on gratification. Everyone was an animal who only knew how to be in heat and lacked a brain. As long as the system’s main plot was achieved, those fools who thought with their lower halves would never consider the oddities of the situation.

In the plot provided by the system, on the tenth day after Lin Qing began drinking the medicine, he would be set up by Yun Fan and lose his virginity to the three conspirators working together. From there, it would descend into a complete nightmare of various play scenarios, including body modification, training, being captured by other creatures while escaping, and encountering various male supporting characters. Finally, he would fall completely, even bearing children for several of them.

If the old Lin Qing had seen this on an illicit website, he might have been perverted enough to look twice. However, when the system gave the plot, it used his name. It had to be said that in terms of being disgusting, this system was a champion.

Lin Qing looked down at the white jade steps beneath his feet and touched the jade throne, patiently thinking of a countermeasure. There were still five days before Yun Fan would lure him out of the sect to be ambushed by the Demon King and Ghost Lord.

Over the past few days, through experimentation, he had mostly figured out the system’s main tasks. For example, if he secretly hid the medicine Yun Fan gave him instead of drinking it, as long as Yun Fan thought he drank it and his Heat Value rose accordingly, the task would still be marked as complete. As long as his actions did not affect the main plot of the book, he was free. Even if his behavior was slightly out of character, the system would not interfere much.

As the protagonist, the original body was the greatest genius in ten thousand years. If he were not ruined by his disciple and led astray, his future would be limitless. And he, Lin Qing, since he had come here to be the Great Male Lead, he intended to be just that. If the dog system would not give him a chance, he would create one himself.

He did not believe that someone like him, who went from an ordinary college student to carving out a place in the business world, could not defeat a few animals whose combined IQ did not even reach 100, now that he had the buff of a protagonist. Now he is the protagonist of this world, and no chosen person can interfere with him.

Once he practiced to the legendary God-level realm that could shatter the void, he could return on his own. The dog system could forget about using a mere wish voucher to keep him working like a beast of burden, especially a body-selling one.
