Arc 3 :Cannon Fodder In The Bloody Story Of Wealthy Families

【Ding, the game plot completion rating is being determined——】

【Rating: B】

Lin Ziran was not surprised at all by this result…

The world of immortal cultivation was indeed much more dangerous than the ordinary world. He almost got trapped in the game… He doesn’t know what happened to Xuan Yan and Mu Yang later.

Thinking of the unexpected collapse, Lin Ziran felt a little sad.

If it weren’t for his momentary impatience, wouldn’t he be able to get an A in this world?

【System: Does the player want to continue to the next game? 】

【Lin Ziran said angrily: Continue, why not continue! 】

He just doesn’t believe in evil.

This mentality is just like a gambler who borrows money to make up for his losses. The more he loses, the more he cannot bear it. He just doesn’t believe that he can’t win a crappy game!

Lin Ziran didn’t feel like going out, so he just made himself a bowl of noodles. When he was halfway through eating, his roommate Zhuo Yu came back.

He saw Lin Ziran eating instant noodles there and said: “You finally came out of the game. How was your performance? What was your rating?”

Lin Ziran was silent for a moment: “B.”

Zhuo Yu showed a surprised look and said: “You can also get B?”

Lin Ziran looked at him unhappily: “Do you have any misunderstanding about my acting skills?”

Zhuo Yu also took out a bowl of instant noodles and started to make them. He looked at him with the sad eyes of a person who had experienced it: “It is precisely because I have no misunderstanding of your acting skills that I am surprised by your results. By the way…are you really going to rely on this to get credits? If you ask me, you should give up as soon as possible. It is much easier to take the exam and memorize the books than this.”

Lin Ziran felt that he was only a short distance away from A, and he held his head high: “Oh, I’m not you.”

Of course he knew that this game was difficult, otherwise if the credits were so easy to get, everyone would just play the game instead of studying.

But even though it’s difficult, it’s not completely hopeless. For example, there are great people like Ji Chen, who are said to be able to get an A easily! Although they don’t care about credits…

Although there is still a big gap between him and the legends, he is still confident in himself! Even if he can’t get credits, it’s not bad to practice his acting skills and play games at the same time…

Although this game has some pitfalls, it is well-made and has a good quality. It is no wonder that it is so popular…

In short, he will not be easily defeated by setbacks!

After eating and drinking, Lin Ziran ambitiously started the next game.

【Ding, new world is being extracted——】

【Ding, new world loading——】

This time, he was back to the modern era. The protagonist gong of this world is Jiang Xuan, a typical overbearing CEO, and the protagonist shou is Ning Bai, an excellent lawyer.

His identity in this world is Lu Xiaodong, a rich and wealthy boy, and a Xiaodi of Jiang Xuan.

(Xiaodi: younger brother)

The Lu family has some assets, but they are just a small shrimp in front of the Jiang family. The Lu family’s business has always relied on the Jiang family. Because of the family business, Lu Xiaodong met the protagonist gong Jiang Xuan… In Lin Ziran’s view, he behaved as Jiang Xuan’s friend, but in fact he was just Jiang Xuan’s lackey.

Jiang Xuan looked down on such a fool, but Lu Xiaodong shamelessly approached him, not only calling himself Jiang Xuan’s friend, but also respecting and worshiping Jiang Xuan very much.

By chance, Lu Xiaodong ran into Ning Bai in a bar. He was struck by Ning Bai’s beauty and fell in love with him at first sight. He began to pursue Ning Bai, but Ning Bai didn’t like him at all and was disgusted by his entanglement and avoided him as much as possible.

However… Ning Bai and Jiang Xuan, who looked down on Lu Xiaodong, just happened to like each other.

Not long after, Ning Bai met Jiang Xuan because of business cooperation with his company, and the two hit it off and became sex buddies.

But both of them were calm and rational. Having sex does not mean being moved. It is just a way to relieve desire. At the beginning, both of them were only interested in sex and not in love.

It was not until Lu Xiaodong accidentally discovered the relationship between Ning Bai and Jiang Xuan while pursuing Ning Bai.

Jiang Xuan didn’t know that Lu Xiaodong was also pursuing Ning Bai, so this was really just a coincidence… But Lu Xiaodong, who was not clear-headed, felt betrayed. His DaGe actually secretly hooked up with the person he liked, and he had a big fight with Jiang Xuan for the first time.

(DaGe: elder brother)

Although Jiang Xuan usually allowed Lu Xiaodong to hang out with him, he looked down on this playboy in his heart. He frankly said that even without him, Ning Bai would still look down on Lu Xiaodong, and he was annoyed and impatient with Lu Xiaodong’s lack of self-awareness.

Faced with such contempt and humiliation, Lu Xiaodong felt resentful towards Jiang Xuan, but he really liked Ning Bai, and not reconciled he continued to harass Ning Bai, which made Ning Bai very troubled and impatient… Jiang Xuan was very angry when he found out, and realized that he might have some feelings for Ning Bai, so he warned Lu Xiaodong’s parents to discipline their child well and not to cause trouble.

Lu Xiaodong’s parents needed to rely on Jiang Xuan for their business, so they dared not offend Jiang Xuan, so they severely reprimanded Lu Xiaodong, but this made Lu Xiaodong hate Jiang Xuan and Ning Bai even more, so he found an opportunity, and out of love and hatred, he drugged Ning Bai and tried to rape Ning Bai.

In the end, of course, Jiang Xuan showed up as a hero to save the beauty. This accident also made Jiang Xuan realize his different feelings towards Ning Bai, so he became even more angry at Lu Xiaodong’s behavior. In a rage, he had Lu Xiaodong’s legs broken, and because of his anger, he began to suppress the Lu family’s business.

Lu Xiaodong’s parents had no choice but to send Lu Xiaodong out of the country in order to appease Jiang Xuan’s anger.

Lu Xiaodong’s role basically ends here.

But for the story of this world, it is actually only halfway through.

Later, Ning Bai gradually fell in love with Jiang Xuan, but Jiang Xuan’s fiancée and father appeared one after another, creating many twists and turns in their love, but in the end the two of them broke through the secular world and got together!

As for Lu Xiaodong’s ending, it was only mentioned when the two got married: he drank and took drugs alone abroad and died unexpectedly not long after.

Lu Xiaodong was just a cannon fodder who no one cared about and ended up in a miserable state.

Lin Ziran couldn’t help but smack his lips when he saw this. He felt that Lu Xiaodong was not a loving male partner at all. At most, he was a cannon fodder who wanted to eat swan meat! If we talk about love, is it reflected in his relentless pursuit of Ning Bai?

But isn’t that also true of rogues…

Look at the things he did?

He was persistent, stalked, harassed, drugged, attempted rape, and finally sent abroad and died of drug abuse. His entire life was of a cannon fodder!

He is just a tool to provide Jiang Xuan with the opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty, and to promote the relationship between the protagonist top and the bottom!

The affectionate male supporting roles in the first two worlds each have their own characteristics. Not only do they have important roles, but they are also important roles that cause trouble for the protagonist. The male supporting roles in this world not only have pitifully few roles, but also have no characteristics. If they are put in a face-slapping article, they won’t survive more than three episodes…

Well, but then again, if a rich, powerful, and handsome top does something similar, it would be forced love, and he would definitely scream with excitement, but if it were a playboy like Lu Xiaodong, it would be a crime and the result would be a miserable end, with his legs broken…

So this is still a world where appearance matters!

Lin Ziran thought about it.

Well, although the role this time is not that great, it looks like it will be easy to complete! There are not many scenes…

Could it be that he was so lucky that he finally got a simple world?

Thinking of this, Lin Ziran was excited.

A good start is half the battle won!

He only needs to go through these few plots, and then he will be sent abroad by his disappointed parents. At that time, no one will pay attention to him anymore, and he will just need to wait far away until time passes.

“Hey, what are you daydreaming about?”

Lin Ziran was slapped on the head. He came to his senses and turned around to see a boy with dyed yellow hair next to him. He was sloppy and winked at him and said: “What did you do last night? Didn’t you sleep? You looked so lost.”

Lin Ziran pondered for a moment, looked at the light screen, and confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.

Like himself, he is a lackey of Jiang Xuan, named Fu Wenyao, and can be considered one of Lu Xiaodong’s cronies.

Lin Ziran looked at the surroundings again and knew what the situation was.

The smoke-filled KTV room was filled with the smell of alcohol and tobacco. There were seven or eight men sitting there, and a few beautifully dressed and gentle girls, who were hugged by some men…

It doesn’t look like a serious entertainment venue.

Lu Xiaodong and his gang often organize such groups. After all, they are just a bunch of dandies who only eat, drink, gamble and have sex. How can one expect them to do anything tasteful?

But he has the advantage of being rich. In order to please Jiang Xuan, he occasionally asks women to accompany him. In his eyes, ordinary prostitutes are not classy, and female college students are more classy. For example, the girls present today are goddesses in people’s eyes outside, but here they are just waiting to be sold at a price.

Lu Xiaodong did everything he could to please Jiang Xuan, and he was as servile as he could be. Unfortunately, his level was limited, so even if he tried very hard, in Jiang Xuan’s eyes, he was still a worthless idiot.

But sometimes he would give him some face and come out to sit with him… For example, Jiang Xuan happened to be there today.

Lin Ziran narrowed his eyes and saw the man sitting in the middle of the sofa at a glance.

There were no women around him, and even other people consciously kept a distance from him, not daring to get too close. Even on this kind of occasion, he exuded an aura of “keep away from strangers”.

His facial features were sharp and deep, obscure in the dim light, his eyebrows were sharp, the collar of his shirt was casually open, his black suit jacket was thrown to his side, a cigarette was pinched between his fingertips, he was lazily leaning on the sofa, his long legs were crossed and stretched out…

This is the protagonist gong of this story – Jiang Xuan!

A cold-blooded, ruthless and determined overbearing CEO!

Of course, his cruelty and ruthlessness are mainly reflected in his treatment of cannon fodder like Lu Xiaodong. When facing the protagonist shou Ning Bai, he is very gentle and affectionate.

Although the two agreed to pursue sex rather than love in the beginning, Jiang Xuan fell in love first in the end. However, he had a bunch of stupid teammates who held him back, so the two broke up and got back together. The road to love and pursuing his wife was extremely bumpy…

Lin Ziran couldn’t help but show sympathy, but then he thought that his character was more pitiful, wasn’t he?

After all, Jiang Xuan was kind to the protagonist shou, but he was cruel to cannon fodder like himself, breaking his legs! Although the plot had not yet progressed to that point, Lin Ziran felt a slight chill in his legs when he looked at him…

It’s not easy to be cannon fodder.

The plot of today’s appearance is obviously not in the main plot. It is just a very ordinary scene of Lu Xiaodong and Jiang Xuan getting along. Lin Ziran said to Fu Wenyao: “I drank too much last night and I’m not feeling well. I’m going out for some fresh air.”

He opened the door and walked out, no one cared.

Phew, I feel much more comfortable coming out.

The air in the room was not very well ventilated, and it was filled with the smell of second-hand smoke, which was sticky and pungent, making Lin Ziran very uncomfortable. He really didn’t understand why anyone liked this kind of occasion…

Rather than wasting time here, it would be better to go back and play games.

Not every man likes to hang out.

But as a qualified lackey, how could he leave before Jiang Xuan? Lin Ziran shook his head in distress. He went to the bathroom to pee. When he came out, he looked in the mirror and almost scared himself in the middle of the night.

Sure enough, the scariest horror story is accidentally seeing yourself in the mirror…

The young man in the mirror had dazzling gray hair, a row of shiny earrings on his ears, smoky makeup, dark eye sockets, and a look of excessive indulgence. He was as thin as a stick and wore a tattered black leather jacket and jeans…

Wow, is this the cannon fodder from the Shamate Subculture? !

Even if he is a little gay, he can’t accept this kind of aesthetic! Lin Ziran’s heart is filled with a strong desire to complain.

With this kind of appearance and the scoundrel-like persistence, it would be a miracle if anyone would be interested in him, right? One would have to have a very weird taste to accept him… This guy is written with the word cannon fodder from head to toe.

Don’t say Ning Bai doesn’t like it…

With Jiang Xuan’s status, it stands to reason that he shouldn’t accept such a low-class lackey.

Lin Ziran touched his chin, and the young man with dark circles under his eyes in the mirror also touched his chin.

He figured it out. Jiang Xuan tolerated Lu Xiaodong because of his relationship with the Lu family. Although the Lu family and the Jiang family were not on the same level, Jiang Xuan was a businessman and would not look down on the Lu family just because they relied on him. Even if he looked down on them, he would keep it in his heart and not show it on the surface. Only a fool would think he was great all day long…

Lu Xiaodong is willing to please him and curry favor with him. For Jiang Xuan, it is just another lackey. It is harmless and also shows his tolerance for the people around him. As long as you are obedient and useful, I will treat you as my person. As for what kind of person you are, whether you are a good person or not, whether you are capable enough is not important. There are all kinds of people around him.

But once you provoke me, even if you are my person, I will break your legs…

This is Jiang Xuan’s code of conduct.

This is a ruthless person.

Unfortunately, Lu Xiaodong didn’t understand this.

Lu Xiaodong is a naive cannon fodder. He has been with Jiang Xuan for a long time and really thinks that he is important in Jiang Xuan’s eyes, at least he is Jiang Xuan’s friend. That’s why he dared to lose his temper with Jiang Xuan after discovering the affair between Jiang Xuan and Ning Bai, but in the end he was ruthlessly humiliated.

At that time, he didn’t understand that in Jiang Xuan’s eyes, he was nothing at all.

What people fear most is a lack of self-awareness, and Lu Xiaodong is such a person who lacks self-awareness.

So it’s not surprising that it ended up like that.

Lin Ziran originally wanted to wash his face before going back, but when he saw the horrible look on his face and there were no makeup removers here, if he washed his face now, the effect would probably be even more terrible, so he gave up the idea.

Lin Ziran looked at his face and sighed.

【Lin Ziran: I think there is one greatest benefit in this world. 】

【System: What? 】

【Lin Ziran is full of confidence: No one will fall in love with me again this time! 】

He has this kind of confidence, he can definitely disgust the top and bottom protagonists! Make them want to vomit when they see him!

【System:……】

Lin Ziran once again sighed that this must be a world where points are given away. He never thought that he would have such great luck one day. After all, he was so unlucky in the last world that he could just pick up a blind man who became the protagonist gong’s reincarnation… So unlucky.

Good times will come after bad times, and his luck should be turning around.

When Lin Ziran thought of this, he no longer felt that the environment was that difficult, and he was ready to go back again. Because he was in a hurry and didn’t look at the road, he almost bumped into someone when he went out.

He looked up and saw a stern face. Hey, the protagonist gong is here!

He didn’t really notice it when he was sitting, but when he stood up and compared it to himself, he realized that Jiang Xuan was really tall, a full head taller than him, probably at least 1.9 meters tall… This is the aura of being the male lead!

His own configuration is really cannon fodder, not even qualified as the second male lead. The reason why he is considered the second male lead in this world is that he can only blame the script for not arranging a better backup for the protagonists, right?

Lin Ziran withdrew his thoughts, gave Jiang Xuan a flattering smile, and said with a chuckle: “Xuan Ge.”

Jiang Xuan glanced at him coldly, nodded slightly, and walked past him without saying a word.

If it was Lu Xiaodong, he would definitely not think there was anything wrong, as he was used to being a bootlicker, and the kind of bootlicker who had no sense of tact.

But Lin Ziran could see the disdain in Jiang Xuan’s eyes. He never took Lu Xiaodong seriously, and even his response seemed so perfunctory…

Tsk tsk.

Lin Ziran didn’t care at all. He just liked such a cold-blooded protagonist. He returned to the box happily.

Fu Wenyao was hugging a girl, molesting her and saying lewdly: “How about I go shopping with you tomorrow? I’ll buy you any bag you want!”

Lin Ziran was disdainful in his heart. He could tell at a glance that he was just cannon fodder of the same level as himself. He had no style in picking up girls. He always offers bags, purses, which are too simple and crude!

Look at Jiang Xuan, he never mentions buying bags for women, but wherever he goes, women flock to him, don’t they?

By the way, Jiang Xuan is a bisexual who doesn’t care about gender.

Lin Ziran has no interest in these women, he is a 0, as for Lu Xiaodong…

The character setting in the script is not very detailed. It only says that he fell in love at first sight after meeting Ning Bai, and started to pursue him relentlessly. It seems that he should be a homosexual… But he may be bisexual…

Jiang Xuan came back soon.

Lin Ziran’s eyes moved. As a qualified licker, his first priority was to please Jiang Xuan.

When he saw Jiang Xuan sitting down and taking out a cigarette and preparing to light it, he immediately moved over quickly, took out his lighter and said attentively: “Xuan Ge, let me light it for you!”

God knows how much he dislikes the smell of cigarettes, but as a qualified actor, he can overcome such a small difficulty!

Jiang Xuan paused and looked down at the young man beside him.

Under the short grey hair was a ghostly face, but the eyes were bright and he looked at him carefully and flatteringly. Although he was a little impatient in his heart, he still hummed softly.

Lin Ziran lit a cigarette for Jiang Xuan and immediately moved a little further away from him.

He sat there and began to daydream.

He can’t pick up girls, he can’t smoke, it’s awkward to sit here, but he can’t leave early, it seems he can only play with his phone!

Smartphones are truly the greatest invention of this century.

How many people can stay away from the pain of social interaction.

Besides, Lu Xiaodong has never had a sense of existence in Jiang Xuan’s eyes. He just needs to be low-key. No one except Fu Wenyao will notice him…

Just like that, it was perfect!

Jiang Xuan’s fingers were long and slender, with distinct knuckles. He held a cigarette and squinted his eyes slightly, looking lazy and wanton. He opened his thin lips slightly, and a wisp of smoke drifted out. He glanced at the young man next to him and found that he was holding his mobile phone and playing with it enthusiastically… For some reason, he suddenly felt a strange feeling.

It seems like this person doesn’t fit in here.

It’s a bit like a kid who is taken by adults to visit relatives during festivals, but sits in a corner playing with his phone because he is afraid of his relatives, trying to make himself invisible…

He has an introverted nephew who is like this…

Jiang Xuan couldn’t help but laugh when he thought of this. How could he have such an illusion?

He knew exactly what kind of person Lu Xiaodong was. He was a dandy who only cared about eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He had never done anything serious, but he did a lot of wrongdoings. He came to please him only because his parents needed him to rely on him, but this person himself was of no use to him…

Jiang Xuan put out his cigarette in the ashtray, picked up his coat and stood up. He came here today just because he was bored and wanted to kill some time. It was almost time to go back now.

Fu Wenyao was quite excited. When he saw Jiang Xuan standing up, he immediately asked: “Xuan Ge, are you going back?”

Lin Ziran, who was playing the game, suddenly woke up when he heard Fu Wenyao’s words. The game was at a critical moment. If he gave up now, he would be dead. But… Bah, acting must be more important!

Lin Ziran didn’t care about the game anymore, he quickly put down his phone and ran over, smiling flatteringly: “Xuan Ge.”

Jiang Xuan looked at Lin Ziran, not missing his struggle between playing games and sending him off. His peripheral vision swept over the phone that fell on the sofa, and the absurd feeling he had before became even stronger. He pursed his lips and said: “No need to send me off.”

Lin Ziran was overjoyed. He originally thought he was going to send Jiang Xuan out, but the other was so considerate that he didn’t have to…

Jiang Xuan: “…”

You seem happy when I ask you not to send me off? Is the game more important than seeing me off?

Why does he feel unhappy all of a sudden?

In the past two years, Lu Xiaodong has always been by his side, always approaching him whenever he has something to do, and always showing his respect and admiration for him, as if he is the person he admires the most… But in the end, he is still a kid who hasn’t even grown all his hair yet…

When playing games, he doesn’t recognize any relatives.

Jiang Xuan frowned. He felt that he had thought too much today, so he retracted his gaze and turned away without saying a word.

Lin Ziran was thinking about the game he was playing halfway, and watched Jiang Xuan leave anxiously, then ran back quickly to pick up his phone.

Shit.

Still dead!

If he had known this would happen, he would have gone to see Jiang Xuan out, which would have been a great help.

Wait, it’s not too late to send off now!

Lin Ziran put away his phone and hurriedly chased after him. Seeing that Jiang Xuan had just gotten into the car, it was not too late to make up for the loss.

Lin Ziran waved at the car window, showing a big smile: “Xuan Ge, take care!”

Jiang Xuan turned his head and saw the young man standing on the roadside waving at him, his eyes shining, and his face, which looked like a ghostly painting, still had that ingratiating and attentive smile.

But strangely, it was not as annoying as usual.

Jiang Xuan was silent for a moment, then said to the driver: “Wait a minute.”

Then he rolled down the car window, looked at Lin Ziran calmly, and said: “Come here.”

Lin Ziran was startled, and immediately ran over, bent over to look at the man in the car, and listened attentively to his instructions.

Jiang Xuan said in a low, hoarse and magnetic voice: “Get in the car, I’ll take you home.”

Lin Ziran stayed there, not quite understanding what this meant. He felt that according to the script, Jiang Xuan should not be a very considerate boss…

Jiang Xuan clasped his fingers together and looked at the young man outside the car.

His eyes were somewhat dazed, staring at himself blankly, and he seemed to be unable to react.

Seeing him hesitant and unwilling to get in the car.

Jiang Xuan’s eyes moved, and he felt that he might be meddling in other people’s business…

He knew this kid’s character very well. Maybe after he left, he would play another round with Fu Wenyao and his group to continue fooling around. But just now, this kid was sitting there alone again, and didn’t seem to want to continue. So he thought the kid might want to go back… and he subconsciously said this.

Jiang Xuan shook his head and was about to say forget it, but at this moment, Lin Ziran suddenly opened the car door and got in.

But Lin Ziran did not sit in the passenger seat, but went straight to the back seat and sat next to him.

Jiang Xuan: “…”

Lin Ziran was a little surprised just now, so he didn’t react. Later he thought that Jiang Xuan was probably just being polite.

But Lu Xiaodong has always been a person with no tact, so he definitely couldn’t hear it, and might even be excited and touched… And he himself was so sleepy at this late hour, and he had wanted to go back a long time ago. He was originally worried that it would be difficult to call a taxi so late, and it couldn’t be better that Jiang Xuan was willing to take him there!

This is like sending a pillow when you are sleepy, how can he refuse? !

I have been your lackey for so long, it is only right that you send me home once.

Lin Ziran sat in the car, not caring whether Jiang Xuan liked it or not, and deliberately leaned forward without knowing what was good for him, looking up and grinning: “Thank you, Xuan Ge, it’s so nice of you to give me a ride!”

Jiang Xuan stared at the gray-haired youngster with dark circles under his eyes, and his eyelids suddenly jumped.

Suddenly he felt a little regretful for letting him get in the car.

    I kind of don’t hate the original Li Xiaodong appearance. Maybe because I have a thing for guys who wear makeup and have piercings
