The system reappeared, making Yang Yu extremely excited.
“System, what happened? I couldn’t contact you for so long.” Yang Yu asked anxiously.
“Because your ideological awareness is too low, this system is too lazy to bother with you.” The system replied.
“What? How am I low in ideological awareness? Since I came to this world, I have been focusing on my tasks, racking my brains to complete them. Besides, this has nothing to do with ideological awareness.” Yang Yu replied with grievance.
“Then have you completed your tasks?” The system asked again.
“No… …”
“This system made you the villain. Look at what you’ve done in a month!” the system said.
“I’ve been working hard. Besides, the plot hasn’t even started yet,” Yang Yu retorted.
“You’ve been acting as a backup for Ding Dian, giving Meng Yun and Yu Fei money, and boosting their fame. That's all you've done in a month. This system was really blind to choose you as the host. You are the villain, you understand? You think you're the protagonist's golden finger grandpa, giving out benefits?” The system questioned coldly.
Yang Yu was speechless under the system's interrogation.
After a moment of silence, Yang Yu once again shamelessly said, “I am new to the world of crossovers and I don’t have any experience. After being enlightened by the system, I feel like I’ve had a sudden epiphany. My admiration for the system is like an endless river, like a raging Yellow River, unstoppable.”
Yang Yu quickly flattered the system.
“It’s fortunate that the host has realized in time that he is a villain, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.” The system said.
Yang Yu weakly asked, “What consequences? Isn’t it enough to just complete the mission?”
The system's cold voice rang out again: “As a villain, if you don’t do some bad things, if you don’t dare to confront the protagonist head-on, even if you complete the mission, next time you cross over, this system will have you die in the first episode, and then this system will find a new host.”
Yang Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief. “No way! How is that possible? So, I’m the third host?”
“Host, you’re very lucky. You are the third host. Your first two predecessors did too many good deeds and suffered the consequences.” The system said.
Yang Yu asked in a trembling voice, “Can your honor tell me what those consequences were?”
“Of course. This system is very humane.” The system said.
“The first host became good friends with the male protagonist. Although he completed the mission, he didn't meet the standard of a villain. So, in the second crossover, his identity was a bit worse, he was a death row inmate on death row.”
Yang Yu swallowed after hearing the system’s words.
“The second host did almost the same things as you, so in the next crossover, there was a slight deviation. He accidentally went to a fantasy world, just in time for a powerful figure to cross the tribulation.” The system said.
“What happened next?” Yang Yu wiped his sweat and asked.
“The first one was shot, the second one was turned to ashes and his soul dissipated.” The system said mercilessly.
After hearing the system’s words, Yang Yu couldn’t stop sweating, his whole body was soaked, like he had been pulled out of the water.
At the same time, he cursed in his heart: What's with the first one's identity being a bit worse, and the second one's slight deviation, you’re lying to a ghost! It's obviously that this damn system was dissatisfied with its previous two hosts, it’s doing this on purpose. What kind of a ghost system is this?
“System, can I ask, can I go back and be a shut-in? I don't want to cross over anymore?” Yang Yu asked in fear.
“This system has said it’s very humane. If the host wants to give up, the system can immediately send you back to cross over, and then find a new host.” The system said with understanding.
Yang Yu was overjoyed. As the old saying goes, it’s better to live in poverty than to die. What’s money and women, nothing is more important than my life. Who knows when this broken system will be dissatisfied with me. I don't even know how I'll die. Without the system, I’ll go back to being a shut-in. Although money and women won't have anything to do with me, at least I can still live.
The system's next words made Yang Yu realize that he was too naive.
“Since the host wants to quit without completing the mission, although this is not in accordance with the rules, this system, in the spirit of humanitarianism, will still fulfill the host’s wishes. However, if any errors occur during the crossover, this system will not be responsible.”
“The host only has one chance to choose to quit.”
“Please make your choice quickly. Do you want to quit? Once you make your choice, you cannot change it.” The system said coldly.
Yang Yu was speechless. What kind of a choice is that? If I dare to quit, I’ll definitely be killed by the system.
