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

【Rating : D】

【Lin Ziran:……】

【System: Does the player have any questions? 】

【Lin Ziran was not very confident, but still asked: Why is it D? I obviously did not break the character! No NPC found out that I am not Lu Xiaodong, and I also triggered the hidden plot… The previous two times were B…】

【System: The rating is based on a comprehensive assessment of many aspects. You gave up on yourself in the second half of the game, completely gave up on completing the task, indulged in pleasure, and did not continue to play the role seriously. Due to your subjective negativity and laziness, the optical brain gave this rating. 】

【Lin Ziran: …】It is well-reasoned and can not be refuted.

【System: May ask if the player wants to continue. 】

【Lin Ziran: I don’t want to play anymore! 】

After losing three games in a row, each time, the game crashed in all kinds of weird ways, which made Lin Ziran have serious self-doubt. It was too bad. He wanted to give up this crappy game!

Lin Ziran got down from the upper bunk. It was exactly 9 o’clock in the morning. He went to the cafeteria to eat and then took a bun and walked back.

It seems that earning credits through this game is really not a reliable thing…

The final exam was approaching, Lin Ziran returned to the dormitory, thought about it, and took out the textbook, which was thick and full of dense text.

Lin Ziran read for ten minutes and suddenly fell head first onto the textbook.

Huh, why did he fall asleep?

No!

How could he do this? He had only read for ten minutes. Persistence is victory. Lin Ziran pinched his thigh hard and continued to stare at the textbook.

When his roommate Zhuo Yu came back from outside, he saw Lin Ziran reading a book for the first time and was shocked: “You are working hard to improve yourself.”

Lin Ziran: “…”

Zhuo Yu glanced at him and immediately gloated: “Why, did you lose again last night?”

Lin Ziran: “…”

Zhuo Yu put his arm around his shoulders and said with a chuckle: “It’s normal. Just take it easy. If you lose, you lose. It’s just a game. Let’s go eat spicy crayfish tonight!”

Lin Ziran’s eyes suddenly lit up. He slapped the book and said with full energy: “Let’s go, let’s go now!”

Zhuo Yu and Lin Ziran went out together and invited a few friends to a crayfish restaurant near the school. They ordered a pot of crayfish each and enjoyed it very much.

After Lin Ziran had a meal of crayfish, he felt that the depression of losing the game had almost dissipated, and he became energetic again. He got up and went to the bathroom. On the way back, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure next to the private room in the corridor.

Huh, isn’t this the great senior Ji Chen!

Why is he here?

Lin Ziran looked at his otherworldly face, then looked at where he was, and suddenly felt that this aloof god had become down-to-earth. It turned out that he also ate crayfish…

But don’t know whether he eats spicy, steamed, or with minced garlic?

What sight is it?

Cough cough cough…

Maybe he just came to eat veg dishes…

Lin Ziran knew Ji Chen, but Ji Chen didn’t know him. He was about to pass by quietly, but suddenly, he thought of what Zhuo Yu had said before.

There are many series of role-playing games produced by Fantasy Company, which have always been popular among players. There is a general ranking list for all series. It is said that the first place in the ranking list is the trumpet of this great Ji Chen.

This is a top-notch master who can get an A in any game. He doesn’t care about credits at all. He just wants to show off his acting skills…

Thinking of this, Lin Ziran felt mixed emotions, a little envious, a little jealous…

Ji Chen doesn’t appear often in school. Although he hasn’t graduated yet, he has already made his debut. It’s rare to meet such a great guy. He wonders if he can learn from him?

But the other person doesn’t know him, wouldn’t it be a bit presumptuous to do this?

Lin Ziran hesitated for a while but finally mustered up the courage to step forward and say hello. He smiled widely and said: “Hello, senior.”

Ji Chen raised his eyes and looked at him.

Lin Ziran met his deep eyes and was extremely nervous. It would be awkward if he ignored him… Just when he was feeling uneasy, Ji Chen spoke slowly, his voice was slightly low, but clear as a spring: “Hello.”

Mmm, the senior is quite approachable…

Lin Ziran immediately relaxed a lot and asked curiously: “Senior, I heard that you are the top player in the fantasy role-playing game series! So I want to ask, do you have any tricks when playing? I… ahem, always lose…”

Lin Ziran touched his head embarrassedly when he said this.

Ji Chen pondered for a moment and said: “There is no trick. When you play a role, try to put yourself into the role you want to play and imagine yourself as the other person.”

Lin Ziran fell into deep thought.

Ji Chen looked gentle and smiled: “Do you have any other questions?”

Lin Ziran blushed: “No, no more.”

He said goodbye and left in a hurry.

After all, he is not familiar with him, and it is good that the other person answered patiently. He is really embarrassed to ask more questions… But the senior seems to be a very nice person. He is so nice even when asked by a random stranger!

He originally thought that people like him would be hard to approach. After all, he has so many fans…

Lin Ziran was quite happy to be able to meet and talk to his idol up close.

Although it seems that he didn’t get any useful information, ahem, this can’t be blamed on the expert, maybe it’s just that the expert’s method is not suitable for him…

Because he himself has always done this!

He put himself in the role he was going to play and tried hard to figure out what the character should do, but the plot was still a mess. Although the ideas were the same, others did it with ease, but he…

The study style of a top student who can get first place by just studying casually is obviously not suitable for him…

Lin Ziran almost burst into tears.

Forget it. He should just prepare for the exam, honestly.

When Lin Ziran returned to the table, Zhuo Yu and his friends were almost done eating, and they walked back to school arm in arm.

He returned to his dormitory and took out his textbook again, ready to study late into the night.

So sleepy……

So tired…

No, no, he must recite seriously today!

Lin Ziran gritted his teeth and persisted. He finally read for two hours. When he looked at his phone, it was almost ten o’clock…

Well, he really wants to sleep. Lin Ziran glanced at the game helmet next to him and then looked at the textbook in his hand. He suddenly felt that this game was not so bad. Not only was it well made, but the NPCs were all beauties…

Well, he will just play one round and get up to read tomorrow morning!

Lin Ziran climbed onto the bed and put on his gaming helmet.

【System: Didn’t you say you didn’t want to play anymore? 】

【Lin Ziran:?】As a service assistant system, are you also responsible for ridicule? Shouldn’t you give a warm welcome?

【System: Is the player ready to enter the game?】

【Lin Ziran: Enter, enter! 】

【Ding, the game world is being extracted——】

【Ding, the game world is loading——】

This time, the game is drawn from an ancient world. The background of the game is set in a palace struggle, telling a bloody and sadistic love story between a popular hostage and the Emperor of the time.

The protagonist gong’s name is Feng Yuanchong, and he is the Emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty in this world.

The protagonist shou is named Qi Xuan, who comes from Anhe country, a small country adjacent to Dasheng. He is the eldest son of the king of Anhe. Anhe is weak, and facing the covetous eyes of Dasheng, it has to submit to Dasheng and send its eldest son to Dasheng as a hostage.

Qi Xuan is the most beautiful man in the world. He is so beautiful that everyone from the Emperor to the civil and military officials admired him. It could be said that all the civil and military officials in the court were bowing down to him!

He has countless admirers, among whom there are three most important ones.

The first is the protagonist gong Emperor Feng Yuanchong, the second is the villain Jing Wang Feng Yuanji, and the third is the affectionate male partner, Li Ji, commander of the Imperial Guard.

(*Wang= king title for royalties other than the Emperor)

The villain Feng Yuanji is Feng Yuanchong’s Didi from the same father but different mother. His mother was born in a lowly family and was executed for making a mistake. He was raised by the Empress since he was a child. He grew up with Feng Yuanchong, and they had a deep brotherly love. However, because he fell in love with Qi Xuan, he rebelled in order to compete with the Emperor for his beloved and was finally killed by Feng Yuanchong himself.

The male supporting role Li Ji is Feng Yuanchong’s most loyal subordinate, the sharpest knife in his hand, and one of the top ten personnel who has devoted himself to his work. However, he can not help himself because he likes Qi Xuan. He has tried to protect and get close to Qi Xuan many times, which makes Feng Yuanchong jealous and dissatisfied. In the end, he is sentenced to death by Feng Yuanchong.

Qi Xuan, relying on his face, caused the Emperor and Jing Wang to fall out, caused the Emperor and his loyal subordinates to have a rift, and made the Emperor’s harem restless… In the end, as a concubine, he became the Emperor Feng Yuanchong’s favorite!

One sentence introduction:

Qi Xuan, the beautiful and elegant man of the prosperous times, was loved by everyone. He was snatched away and taken away again and again. Finally, Emperor Feng Yuanchong killed his Didi, the rebel, and sentenced his loyal subordinates to death. With his supreme power, he successfully won the beauty!

What a disaster!

Lin Ziran took a deep breath after reading it.

This world is too hardcore. What a bloody and heart-thumping spirit. Even Bao Si and Da Ji wouldn’t be like this if they were still alive!

(*In classic literature, Mo Xi, Da Ji, and Bao Si are referred to as the Three Evil Concubines of Ancient China)

Lin Ziran calmed down and looked at his character in this world.

Li Ji: 24 years old this year. His parents died when he was young, and he lived with his Jiujiu’s family. He suffered a lot of bullying in his childhood, but he was deep-minded and good at forbearance. Later, he met Feng Yuanchong, who was then the third prince, by accident. Because of his talent and ability, Feng Yuanchong admired him, and the two became close friends. He played a very important role in Feng Yuanchong’s fight for the throne. After Feng Yuanchong ascended the throne, Li Ji became the commander of the Imperial Guards, helping Feng Yuanchong eliminate dissidents and maintain the government. He was also Feng Yuanchong’s most trusted friend and subordinate.

(*Jiujiu= maternal uncle)

Judging from his character, Li Ji is definitely not a good person. He is deep-minded, cold-blooded, ruthless, and murderous. These words can all be used to describe him.

Because of what he did, Li Ji became notorious throughout the capital. On the surface, everyone was in awe of him, but behind the scenes, there were all kinds of rumors about him, saying he was the Emperor’s lackey, the Emperor’s executioner, the Emperor’s hawk, etc. Because of Li Ji’s good looks, there were also rumors that he was the Emperor’s male pet, and that he had won the Emperor’s favor and trust with his skills in bed, and he was described as disgusting to the eyes…

The first part makes sense, but the latter part is pure fabrication. Lin Ziran, who has read the script, knows very well that Li Ji and Feng Yuanchong definitely don’t have that kind of relationship. There is no future for the two tops together! Although Li Ji doesn’t care about bad reputation, he really doesn’t bother to climb into bed to get his current status.

Li Ji was a man who walked in the dark and had blood on his hands. However, he fell in love with the beautiful Qi Xuan. For Qi Xuan, he even contradicted Feng Yuanchong. In the end, Feng Yuanchong became dissatisfied and sentenced him to death by drinking a cup of poisoned wine.

It seems that in Feng Yuanchong’s eyes, his subordinates are not as important as his beloved.

Tsk tsk, Lin Ziran has read a lot of novels and TV shows, and few people who are rivals in love with the Emperor didn’t have a good ending. This is a truly high-risk job! If he is not careful, his life will be over!

He first complained, and then he felt worried.

This time it looks very difficult!!!

Lu Xiaodong in the previous world was actually easier to act, because he was a 20-year-old college student like him, and Lu Xiaodong’s thoughts were actually easy to figure out, and his living environment was also familiar to him… That world should really be the simplest. It was all his fault for screwing up… Lin Ziran regretted it again.

Isn’t this world difficult?

This is a ruthless and cold-blooded Imperial Guards commander. What is his mentality? How does he kill people? How does he speak?

All of this is not easy to master.

Although the senior said to reflect on the role and act as character, where is it so easy to substitute?

【Lin Ziran asked the system hesitantly: Um, do you have any memory transfer function…】

Just reading the tens of thousands of words in the script, as well as the characters and background introductions, he really had no idea…

【System: Ha. 】

【Lin Ziran:…? 】I was just asking a question, how could he hear sarcasm, ridicule, and contempt from the system’s ‘ha’?

【System: After one memory infusion, you will not be able to tell who you are. After a few memory infusions, you will be warmly welcomed to stay in the mental hospital. So in order to avoid our company being sued into bankruptcy, we will not provide this service to any player. 】

【Lin Ziran:……】

【System: Players, please do not take shortcuts. The right way is to study the script carefully and hone your acting skills. Do you actors also rely on memory instillation to act in real life?】

【Lin Ziran:……】

It seems that there is no shortcut, and Lin Ziran can only read the script carefully. He feels a little sad.

He stood up and looked around and found himself in a quiet courtyard. The courtyard was not particularly large but clean and tidy. There were a few osmanthus trees planted in the corner. It was the flowering season, and the refreshing fragrance of osmanthus filled his nose, making him feel comfortable physically and mentally.

Although Li Ji was favored by the Emperor and had great power, he was not very greedy for luxury because his house was not luxurious.

To be honest, Lin Ziran admires this kind of person. He definitely can’t do such a thing as not spending money when he has it.

He returned to his room, which was also simple and clean. He looked at himself in the mirror. The man in the mirror had slanted eyebrows, a straight nose, and thin lips. His eyes were narrow and clear, with a faint blush at the end of his eyes. He looked handsome but slightly feminine, especially when he smiled, with a hint of charm…

With Li Ji looking like this, it’s no wonder there are so many fake rumors about him and the Emperor. There are all kinds of versions. If Li Ji wasn’t so cruel and powerful, he would probably be very popular with men…

Even a male supporting role is so good-looking. How good-looking must Qi Xuan, the most beautiful man in the world, be? !

While he was thinking, a young man suddenly walked in quickly from outside.

The young man had a kind baby face, dressed in black, with a long sword on his waist, and said respectfully: “Daren, Jing Wang has entered the capital.”

(*Daren= Title of respect toward superiors, Lord, Sir, Master)

System promptly brought up the character introduction for Lin Ziran. Although this young man looked harmless, he was actually a trusted subordinate of Li Ji, Qianhu Zhang Yu, who was also a ruthless and cunning person.

Lin Ziran quickly remembered which part of the plot this was.

Since Feng Yuanchong ascended the throne, Feng Yuanji has volunteered to guard the border and has been away from the capital for many years. Until the Empress Dowager’s 60th birthday, Feng Yuanchong summoned Jing Wang to the capital, and Jing Wang Feng Yuanji returned to the capital to celebrate the birthday and also brought back Qi Xuan, the hostage from Anhe country.

As Feng Yuanchong’s most trusted confidant, Li Ji was ordered to go and greet Qi Xuan. He was shocked at the first sight of Qi Xuan!

From then on, the curtain was raised on this bloody drama.

This is the scene of Li Ji and Qi Xuan’s first encounter. Afterward, they brought Qi Xuan to the palace to pay respect. Feng Yuanchong would instruct Li Ji to take care of Qi Xuan. Li Ji fell in love with Qi Xuan over time… and finally lost his life for Qi Xuan.

How good-looking is Qi Xuan to make all of them fall head over heels for him?

Don’t mention it——Lin Ziran was quite curious.

Because Emperor Feng Yuanchong liked male beauty, male homosexuality was prevalent in Dasheng. It was common to keep male pets, and talented and good-looking men were also highly sought after… When Qi Xuan was still in Anhe country, he was the best in the world for his appearance and talent. When he came to the capital, he attracted much attention, and everyone wanted to have a glimpse at Svelte.

Lin Ziran suddenly became interested. He wanted to go see the peerless, handsome man!

Although he couldn’t wait, he was now a person of high status, so he couldn’t just say that he wanted to see the beauty, so he said calmly: “Let’s go meet Jing Wang.”

That’s right, this is in line with his character!

Although Qi Xuan is beautiful, he is just a hostage sent by a small country and is not worthy of Li Ji’s attention. However, Jing Wang Feng Yuanji is different… He is the only XiongDi of Feng Yuanchong who is still alive.

Feng Yuanji’s biological mother was a lowly concubine Hu. The late Emperor accidentally favored her, but she gave birth to a son. After having a son, concubine Hu became ambitious, but the late Emperor did not like her. In order to make the late Emperor look at her more, she did not hesitate to drug her own son, causing the child to suffer from illness for many years, which attracted the late Emperor’s pity and he would come to visit from time to time.

Fortunately, the Empress at that time, who is now the Empress Dowager, discovered concubine Hu’s conspiracy. Concubine Hu was executed for poisoning the prince, and Feng Yuanji was brought to the Empress’s lap and grew up with Feng Yuanchong.

The Empress was kind and virtuous and treated Feng Yuanji as her own son. Feng Yuanji and Feng Yuanchong had a deep relationship since childhood. Feng Yuanji never fought for anything and always followed Xiongzhang’s lead. In the subsequent battle for the throne, he stood on Feng Yuanchong’s side without hesitation. Feng Yuanchong always loved and valued this Didi.

(*Xiongzhang= elder brother)

Feng Yuanji and Li Ji had both made great contributions to Feng Yuanchong. If they had not fallen in love with Qi Xuan, Feng Yuanji would still be Feng Yuanchong’s good Didi, and Li Ji would still be Feng Yuanchong’s good subordinate.

It’s a pity that…both of them didn’t have a good ending in the end.

However, in Lin Ziran’s opinion, Li Ji’s death was rather unjust… Feng Yuanji simply had a brain failure and brought it upon himself.

If he had been a good and obedient prince, even if he really liked Qi Xuan, Feng Yuanchong would not have made a move on him. After all, Feng Yuanchong still had a XiongDi relationship with him… and the Empress dowager was very kind to Feng Yuanji, but he rebelled for a man. He was not only ungrateful and heartless but also a love-brained person!

Don’t blame others for his own death.

If this wasn’t a bloody script, Lin Ziran really couldn’t understand Feng Yuanji’s behavior… Judging from his previous performance, he was a man who knew how to repay kindness and understand the times. How could he become sober after falling in love with someone?

It’s like being bewitched.

If it is said that Feng Yuanji was ambitious to begin with, and that liking Qi Xuan was just an excuse for rebellion, this would sound much more logical than what is written in the script…

Lin Ziran shook his head and rode away.

Li Ji was a serious person, but it was not difficult for Lin Ziran not to smile. After all, Li Ye in the second world did not like to smile either. Moreover, he was in a high position and had great power. Even if he had no expression, no one would dare to say anything.

By the time Lin Ziran got there, Jing Wang and his entourage had already entered the city gate. Jing Wang Feng Yuanji had been guarding the border for the past few years. Although his military exploits were not outstanding, he had done nothing wrong…

Although there were many people watching today, most of them were probably not there to see Feng Yuanji. As a prince, he had lived under the shadow of Feng Yuanchong since he was a child. Although he was good-looking, in the eyes of the people in the capital, he still had a bad reputation for being a playboy and wanton… So his popularity in Dasheng was not as good as that of Qi Xuan, the stunning beauty.

So these people are here to see the beauty just like him!

He rode on his horse and looked at the crowds of people around him, thinking that he must not be discovered to be the same as these crazy people. Otherwise, his cold-blooded personality would be destroyed!

Lin Ziran steadied himself, narrowed his eyes, and looked ahead with a calm expression.

Feng Yuanji, accompanied by his majestic guards, rode a tall horse and walked in front.

He was wearing a black military armor with an upright posture and a murderous aura. He had a fierce face, deep pupils, thin lips like knives, and deep facial features that made him look a bit mixed-race. His eyes were dark brown, probably because he had been stationed on the battlefield for many years, his skin color was darker, and he looked very manly!

Lin Ziran originally intended to just brush past him, but he couldn’t help but take a second look. It was indeed the fine style of this game. The villains in this world were also very handsome!

What a pity. It’s his love rival again!

Although the villain is handsome and cool, it can’t stop Lin Ziran from looking at the beauty.

He has always been curious about what the stunning beauties in novels who are like a source of disaster would look like after they are materialized. After all, most of the images in movies and TV dramas are a bit hard to describe. Paper figures must be more beautiful than real people, right?

With excitement, anticipation, and curiosity, he moved his gaze to the sedan chair at the back, which was the center of attention.

There was a white gauze hanging next to the window of the sedan, and at this moment, a gust of wind blew and lifted up the gauze, and everyone stretched their necks to look over

The first glimpse revealed a flawless face, with bones as white as jade and skin as icy as snow. Even if only the side profile was revealed for a few seconds, it was enough to captivate people.

Qi Xuan was like a 3D beauty created by a computer. There was not a single flaw to be found. Every detail was perfect to the extreme. Especially when set against the crooked surroundings, he is even more otherworldly and looks like an immortal descending to the world!

How can one word describe it?

Just look at the way those people are drooling, and you will know…

Lin Ziran also likes such beauties, but he admires them as if they were his own kind, because they are just a weak, white lotus beauty, hahahahahaha, not as good as his current identity as a top!

This time, there will definitely not be any incidents where the protagonist shou attempt to counterattack!

Lin Ziran’s thoughts drifted away. At this moment, a teasing laugh came from the front: “Li daren came to greet benwang personally. Benwang is really flattered.”

Lin Ziran suddenly came back to his senses and saw Feng Yuanji riding forward. The tall man turned his head to look at him, his thin lips curved coldly, looking at him with a smile.
