IAmABanana Freshie Translation

Banana: Rejoice guys. I mentioned that this chapter will be split into 3 parts but I got lazy to split it 😛 so there will be only 2 parts, hehe~~

The color of the sky is a bit gray, carrying some uncomfortable feeling, it seems… like it’s going to rain. The pedestrians around are so rushed, only a person standing there looks a little dazed. The person simply stood frozen in the middle of the road, no one knows what he is thinking about. Suddenly, a car drove past him. The driver poked his head out of the window and cursed the man for seeking death (standing in the middle of the road) before whizzing away.

Not far away, a man stood under a tree unbeknownst to the person. Watching the person, the man’s eyebrows raised slightly as he asked, “001, are you sure this person is the male lead in the story?”

This person looked good and has a great temperament, but one can’t ignore the feeling of despair lingering on him. Lin Zisheng has learned from the data that the male lead in this world has always been full of spirits, whether it’s the main personality or alter. Hence, this sorrowful man doesn’t look not like a male lead at all.

[Host-daren, I adjusted your arrival time to the moment when the male lead father just learned about his split personality disorder and wanted to take everything away from him.]

After 001 said this, it gave a hehe smile, and looked at Lin Zisheng mysteriously, [This is also before the male and female lead meets for the first time. How about that? Am I considerate enough this time? If the male lead meets host-daren now, does he still have a chance to fall in love with the female lead?]

By now, 001 has discovered that his host-daren has a special ‘bending’ skill. The moment the male lead sees host-daren, he will naturally turn bent, so it is an awesome skill to the missions!

Obviously, Lin Zisheng can understand the underlying meaning of 001. After a snort, he threw a glance at it faintly, causing 001 to raise its hackles.

001: Host-daren is too terrible and I have suffered a strong internal injury, seeking comfort!

“How do the male lead and the female lead met?” Lin Zisheng is quite upset with 001, though he didn’t mind taking this shortcut, he didn’t want to have any relationship with the male lead anymore.

[The female lead picked up alter male lead when he got injured by someone sent by his father. In order not to involve the female lead in the feud, alter male lead left after waking up. Then they met for the second time in the psychological clinic. When he saw the female lead, he will ‘fall in love at first sight’.] Knowing what Lin Zisheng is worried about, 001 continues to explain to him, [Using self to repay life-saving grace can only happen between men and women. If it is between 2 men, then you can be good brothers.]

Lin Zisheng nodded after hearing the explanation of 001, obviously satisfied with the answer.

At this moment, the rain has suddenly gotten heavy, and all the pedestrians left hurriedly. Only the male lead is still standing in the middle of the road, looking confused, as if he is a child who couldn’t find his way home. The shower mist wet his hair, and his clothes also showed signs of getting wet. Lin Zisheng sighed after watching it for a while and walked up to the male lead slowly.

Wenren Lan stood in the middle of the road in confusion. He no longer knows where to go. His father’s words are still ringing in his ears, and he suddenly had the urge to laugh out loud. Yes, he is mentally ill, and he should not continue to manage the company like this. Disgusting words like these, it’s probably only his greedy father can say it. Just like when he seized Wenren Lan’s mother’s property, abandoned her, and married his true love. If it weren’t for his true love abusing him in his childhood, how would he become like this?

“Although summer is coming, it’s still easy to get sick from the rain.” Just when Wenren Lan is about to fall into the darkness and couldn’t find his way, a gentle voice sounded. He turned his head mechanically and saw a man smiling gently.

“Who are you…?” Wenren Lan asked, his voice sounded hoarse.

Wenren Lan’s gaze looking at Lin Zisheng’s eyes is as if he saw his salvation. The gaze is so eager that it makes Lin Zisheng felt a little uncomfortable.

“I’m just a passerby. Due to the nature of my occupation, I just can’t bear to see other people abusing their bodies.” After saying this, Lin Zisheng stuffed an umbrella in Wenren Lan’s hand, “There’s nothing that can’t be solved. Don’t look at everything so hopelessly.”

“I’m not…” Looking at this gentle man, Wenren Lan seemed to have an urge to talk.

Lin Zisheng shook his head, then stretched out his fingers to point to his eyes, “I can see from your eyes that you did not give up, otherwise I will not come to help you.” After saying this, Lin Zisheng lightly smile and ran to the car not far away. He nodded towards Wenren Lan after getting in the car and then drove away.

[Host-daren, can you really do it like this? Doing good thing without leaving a name?] Although this can give a good impression to the male lead, how can it be effective if he doesn’t even know host-daren’s name?

“We will meet sooner or later anyway, right?” If the story of this world does not OOC, he will meet the male lead soon.

To be honest, Lin Zisheng is a little curious. The main personality met a person who has enlightened him, while alter personality met a person who helped him when he is in trouble. Lin Zisheng wondered who is more important in Wenren Lan’s heart.

[Host, please stop your ill-intention thoughts. The alter male lead in this world has a violent tendency. You don’t want to game over in his hands, right?] Alter personality can even murder his beloved person (FL), so a psychiatrist is nothing at all.

“By the way, I forgot to ask you what kind of identity I have this time.” In the past, when Lin Zisheng receives the plot and character details of the world, he would be able to guess his identity but he couldn’t make a guess this time.

[Uh, due to the invisible double male lead, your status as the second male lead has been greatly weakened. You are now almost like a high-level cannon fodder.] When 001 said that, it stayed cautious, afraid of his family’s black belly host will be dissatisfied with it.

“Since I’m like a cannon fodder, can I not follow the plot?” The male and female lead is the pillar that supports the world, while the second male lead is just to assist. If his role right now is a cannon fodder, Lin Zisheng can actually go without following the plot.

[Theoretically, it is possible, but please don’t destroy the plot too much.] This world doesn’t really need Lin Zisheng, so there is no problem if he doesn’t follow the plot too much.

Lin Zisheng smiled when he heard 001’s words. But such a bright smile made 001 feel all its hackles are standing up. Host-daren looked so dangerous!

After reading the plot of this world, Lin Zisheng has a certain understanding of the female lead. Although it is stated that the female lead is a gentle and tolerant person, her gentleness and tolerance are not available to everyone. In the beginning, the female lead only went to help the male lead, and also be able to tolerate his abnormality because he looked like a rich man with a successful career.

[Host-daren, the female lead in this world does not love money that much.] 001 is still struggling to keep up with the image. It seems that not only its host-daren doesn’t want to continue with the plot, but he also wants to drag the female lead down and deviate from the plot!

“If you don’t love money, would you go to work in a place like a bar? Even when you are harassed, you never thought about changing the job?”

A place like a bar is indeed a mixture of ‘snakes and dragons’, but there are also many rich people. If one is lucky, they can receive a shocking amount of tip.

In an instant, 001 became speechless. Its host-daren is getting smarter and harder to fool. Heart felt so tired, _(:3」∠)

“Anyway, I can easily take the injured male lead home with me when I leave.” Lu Feng, the owner of this body, works as a psychologist. In fact, he has been involved in medical things, and his family background is also very good. Although he is not on the same level as the male lead’s wealth, he is also one of the best families in City B.

[Host-daren, have you made up your mind to grab the female lead’s role?]

“Didn’t you asked me to stop with the ill-intention thoughts? I listened to your words, so why are you so excited about this matter?” Lin Zisheng’s voice is leisurely, obviously not taking 001’s attitude as a thing.

001: Hehe, host-daren, no matter how straightforward you say it, it can’t change that you are a  black-bellied person!

Three days later, Lin Zisheng went to a bar near the place where the male lead got beaten and sat in a corner casually. He unbuttoned the top two of his shirt’s collar, revealing a small patch of his chest. Under the dim lighting, his fair skin looked more sens.u.al. His meticulous combed hair has been ruffled up by him, and the flat glasses that had been on his nose is also taken off by Lin Zisheng. Originally, with his appearance in a suit and leather shoes, he didn’t fit in here. But after a minute, he became abnormally consistent with the feeling of the bar, and the people around him are dumbfounded after seeing this ‘transformation’.

This… how does this man do it?

Lin Zisheng doesn’t like places like bars, but the owner of this body, Lu Feng often went to bars to reduce stress when he is studying abroad. Right now, Lin Zisheng is only imitating him as per his memory so people won’t think that he doesn’t fit it.

The female lead, Bai Qing, who is not far away also saw the transformation. From a glance, his clothes are obviously high-end custom-made clothes. She understood that this person’s status is definitely not low, and he should be a playful person. Such a person is a suitable goal for her. It’s just that her luck is not so good as the person designated to deliver wine to Lin Zisheng is not Bai Qing, but another person. That person is a newcomer, he seemed to be a college student. He has a beautiful face and gives people a feeling that he is shy when he smiled. That makes people unconsciously get a good impression of him.

[Host-daren, why didn’t the female lead recognize you?] Bai Qing has submitted a resume to Lin Zisheng’s private clinic. She should be able to recognize Lin Zisheng as her future boss.

“Female lead won’t pay attention to how a doctor looks like.” This sentence roughly translates to the female lead won’t bother with a poor doctor. It has to be some kind of big boss to get her attention!

001 became speechless in an instant.

Just like this, Lin Zisheng sat in the bar all night. Although he ordered a drink, he didn’t take a single sip. He didn’t want to drive home with the male lead while under influence (DUI) later. Looking at his watch and counting the time, Lin Zisheng can guess that the male lead should get beaten right now. Should he be the hero who saves the ‘beauty’? After another 10 minutes, Lin Zisheng tidied up his clothes and then walked out of the bar slowly.

At this moment, Bai Qing just got off work. Because of her desire to get acquainted with Lin Zisheng, she quietly followed up, wanting to see if she can somehow bump into Lin Zisheng as an accidental meeting. As a result, after a few minutes of walking, she heard the sound of fighting at the front. Bai Qing hesitated. If she went to help at this moment, would she be implicated?

Lin Zisheng had no such thoughts though. He quickly walked over and deliberately lowered his pitch before saying, “Who is there?! Police!”

Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, those people didn’t even look at Lin Zisheng. They just ran away upon hearing the yell. Anyway, their task is to teach that person a lesson. Now that person has been ‘taught’ quite miserably, their task is already done.

Lin Zisheng walked into the alley after those people left. Sure enough, he saw Wenren Lan who got beaten on the ground. This man’s expression is no longer at a loss like the last time they met. Instead, he looked like an angry beast, trying to tear anyone who hurt him to pieces. Seeing this kind of Wenren Lan, Lin Zisheng agrees with 001 that this person indeed has some violent tendencies.

“Can you still stand up?” Lin Zisheng smiled and stretched out his hand, looking at Wenren Lan who seemed unable to move.

After Wenren Lan heard this familiar voice, he slowly raised his head. Because the man’s back is facing the light, he could not see the man’s face clearly. But judging from his voice, this man should be a gentle person. At this moment, there should be a gentle smile on his face. Thinking of this, Wenren Lan unknowingly stretched out his hand and took the hand that is reaching to him…

After grabbing that hand, Wenren Lan didn’t want to let go. No one had ever reached out to him… to ‘them’ before. This person is the first in his life, so he doesn’t want to let go…

This is Wenren Lan’s last thought before fainting.

Seeing that Wenren Lan has fainted, Lin Zisheng pulled the person up and slung his arm on his shoulder. He looked at the person in amusement. The male lead is obviously a wild beast with raised hackles but he turned out to be like a well-behaved cat when he calmed down.

“Sir, you…” Seeing Lin Zisheng carrying a person out, and from that person’s clothing, he also seemed to be a rich man, Bai Qing formed a plan in her heart. The man in front of her seemed like he is not easy to get acquainted with. But injured people are different as they are more vulnerable. It may be a good opportunity for her so she said, “I am a graduate from a nursing school and know some nursing knowledge, so you can let me give this gentleman…”

“Thank you, but no need. I am a doctor myself.” Lin Zisheng smiled and refused the other party’s offer. How could Lin Zisheng not understand her thoughts? But he didn’t want to cooperate at all!

Seeing Lin Zisheng helping the man into his car and leaving, Bai Qing gritted her teeth and stared at the direction of his departure. It’s hard enough to meet two real rich people today, but letting them passed by like this, she is not reconciled!

…

When he got up early in the morning, Wenren Lan, no, it should be the alter personality, Wenren Ling, found that all the wounds on his body had stopped bleeding and were bandaged. It seems that the person from yesterday did these.

Right now, Wenren Ling is a little regretful. He knows who sent those people yesterday. If that person knows that he is rescued, then his benefactor will definitely be troubled. Thinking of that, Wenren Ling can’t sit still and struggled to get up. He needs to leave here quickly!

“Get up and eat something.” When Wenren Ling opened the door, he saw the man sitting on the sofa outside. His white casual clothes looked very refreshing and with a gentle smile on his face, it made Wenren Ling feel like his heart is warmed.

“No, I don’t need to eat. I’m leaving, thank you yesterday, I…” I can’t cause you more trouble.

Wenren Ling didn’t say this last part of the sentence. He doesn’t know why but he didn’t want him to know his terrible affairs, maybe… because he didn’t want to lose this rare tenderness.

“If you are worried that those who beat you will come to trouble me, don’t worry. This is Haicheng Villa area, and they don’t have the ability to come in.” Who are those people yesterday? With 001, Lin Zisheng can know right away. They are just some small-time gangsters, so he doesn’t have to be afraid.

Hearing Lin Zisheng’s words, Wenren Ling revealed a surprised look. Only then did he realize that he had ignored where he is at the moment. Looking around, Wenren Ling found that the man did not lie. He is indeed in the Haicheng Villa area, and he felt relieved. When he looked at Lin Zisheng again, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

“This mister, have we… have we met before?” After saying this, Wenren Ling got taken aback and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. These words sound like a kind of accost.

“We met on a rainy day 3 days ago. You looked so much better now than then.” Lin Zisheng looked at Wenren Lan as if thinking of something, then he smiled softly. “I looked at you and thought that you wanted to commit suicide, but now I am relieved to see you so energetic.”

After a reminder from Lin Zisheng, Wenren Ling finally remembered when they met with some regrets in his heart. It turned out that he is not the first one to be helped by him. What a pity… At this moment, he is a little envious of the main personality.

“Thank you for that day,” Wenren Ling tried to imitate Wenren Lan’s appearance, and smiled at Lin Zisheng, “Hello, I am Wenren… Wenren Ling.”

Originally, he wanted to say the name of the main personality, but Wenren Ling changed his words right before it’s out. He hoped that he is the first one to get acquainted with this man.

“Hello, my name is Lu Feng.” Lin Zisheng pushed a set of breakfast to the front and said, “Sit down and eat something. Although I have applied medicine to your wounds, you still suffered some blood loss. So, you should eat something to replenish your stamina.”

“Thank you,” Wenren Ling stop being polite. He picked up the breakfast prepared by Lin Zisheng and took a bite. His eyes lit up, “You made it? It’s delicious.”

Wenren Ling’s words are not blind flattery. Lin Zisheng’s cooking is really good, and the food he made is in line with his taste.

“Really? Then eat more and you are welcome.” Lin Zisheng smiled and narrowed his eyes when he heard the compliment.

“That, Mr. Lu, are you… a doctor?” Thinking of the neatly bandaged wounds on his body, Wenren Ling is a little curious about his profession.

Lin Zisheng got stunned for a moment before chuckling lightly, “En, I can be considered a doctor. But strictly speaking, I should be called a psychiatrist. However, because of my personal hobbies, I dabbled a bit in medicine.”

A psychiatrist?

Thinking of what his father said before, Wenren Ling suddenly felt that if the psychiatrist is this person, he might not feel so repulsive with the idea. Perhaps Lan also won’t object.

And so, both men ate their breakfast quietly while thinking of something. After eating breakfast, Wenren Ling politely said goodbye to Lin Zisheng, “Thank you for your hospitality, I will go home to settle my personal affairs first. I look forward to seeing you next time.”

After Wenren Ling left, Lin Zisheng suddenly smiled, “This person is somewhat different from what was mentioned in his profile.”

Banana: A’ight, this chapter has 9k word count so it will be split into 3 parts ya.

In the end, Lin Zisheng accepted Zhang Daoling’s feelings. The two spent their whole life together seriously.

After accepting Zhang Daoling, Lin Zisheng found that having another person in his life is not as unacceptable as he thought. At least when he is happy or sad, there is always someone by his side. Lin Zisheng has never been a sentimental person, but he is still human so he knows what tiredness is. For so many years, as a ghost, he can’t appear in front of anyone, so all the pressure is left for Zhang Daoling to bear alone, and he never said that he is tired. Even when the people from Mount Longhu found Zhang Daoling and asked him to return to the mountain so he could marry a wife and have children to continue his bloodline, Zhang Daoling still refuse because he already had a unique person in his heart. Zhang Daoling wanted to be responsible for himself and the person he loves. Lin Zisheng knew all of these, but he can’t help Zhang Daoling. He could only accompany Zhang Daoling to persevere and even watched him turn against Mount Longhu because of him.

“Ah Xuan, in this life, the only thing I have never regretted is knowing you.” These are the last words Zhang Daoling said before he passed away.

[Host-daren, the task is completed, shall we go back?]

Looking at Lin Zisheng who is still floating next to Zhang Daoling, 001 is a little worried. Its host is a cold person, but not ruthless. 001 also saw what Zhang Daoling has done for its host for so many years, so, understandably, its host is reluctant to leave.

“Return ba.” Lin Zisheng sighed slightly. Looking at the man on the bed, Lin Zisheng didn’t know what is his feeling now.

Although Zhang Daoling had a head full of gray hair, perhaps because he practices Taoism, his appearance is not much different from when he first saw him.

[Host…] 001 wanted to say something, but looking at Lin Zisheng’s calm face, it didn’t know what to say for a while.

“Return!” Looking at another person lying silent on the bed, Lin Zisheng slowly closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he has returned to the white space.

[Host-daren, are you okay? Do you want to rest for a while before starting the new task?]

Although the sooner the task is performed, the better for them, 001 also understands that host’s mood is not so stable now. If they rushed the tasks, it will only make its host lose control.

“It’s fine, this matter is not enough to shake me.” After saying this, Lin Zisheng squinted his eyes and leaned on the recliner, refusing to talk anymore. So, 001 quietly shut its mouth.

[System scanning, the last world mission is being summarized…]

[Scanning results, the total number of missions in the world  is 5, including 1 main mission, 3 side missions, and 1 adventure mission, with a completion rate of 120%.]

“120%? 001, is there an error in the system?” This result surprised Lin Zisheng. Isn’t 120% completion rate sound a bit abnormal?

[To answer host’s question, the summary is given by the main system so there won’t be any possibility of error.]

[The following Missions are completed:
Main mission – receive 300 EXP, 800 points;
Side mission 1 – receive EXP 100, points 300,
Side mission 2 – receive EXP 100, points 300,
Side mission 3 – receive EXP 300, points 800,
Adventure mission EXP ? , Points 5000,
Special rewards: attribute points 10, you can draw twice in the points lottery.

Among them, side mission 2 and 3 reached completion at 120%, adventure mission reached completion at 150% so your EXP and points rewards are doubled. At the same time, the enhancement system is activated. Does the host accept all mission rewards?]

“Yes.” Hearing the task reward, Lin Zisheng knew that the gain this time os definitely much greater than last time.

[For points lottery, does host want to use your 2 lucky draw opportunities now?] 001 blinked its small eyes, almost blurted ‘draw, draw, draw’. There will definitely be something good from the lottery.

“No.” Lin Zisheng refused without hesitation because he saw another button next to the draw button that says – 10 consecutive draws. Also, there is a note beside it saying, [10 consecutive draws will guarantee an orange-type item. Dear, aren’t you going to try it?].

[Ah, all right then.] After hearing Lin Zisheng’s refusal, 001 feels a bit regretful, because there are really many, many, many good things in the points lottery!

“By the way, 001, why is the EXP reward for the adventure task showed a question mark?” It is the first time Lin Zisheng saw a question mark in the reward list.

[That, ah, that is completely up to your luck. If you have good luck, you might get up to thousands. But if you are unlucky, you might even get only a point, it’s entirely a matter of your character (luck) yo~]

Lin Zisheng: Haha, what a pit!

[Calculation completed. The total of all missions is EXP 800 + 1500 (adventure task), points 8200. Attribute points 10, you can draw twice in the points lottery. (Banana – The attribute point and draws are just repeated announcements, LZS didn’t get it twice, just FYI)]

After announcing the total calculation, 001 is stunned. Its host’s luck is really too OP. Although there are people getting thousands of EXP in the adventure task, most of them are at intermediate or even advanced adventure tasks. Right now, its host-daren got it in the elementary level adventure task.

[You now have 10 attribute points, do you choose to allocate it now?]

“Yes.” Just 10 attribute points can make his overall attributes have a considerable improvement.

“Physique +2, Physical fitness +2, Intelligence +3, Luck +3.” Looking at his attribute column, Lin Zisheng made a decision.

[The distribution of attribute points is completed, the current attribute is changed]
[Physique: 10 + 3 (Mission reward) + 2 (novice gift pack)]
[Physical Fitness: 10 + 7 (Mission reward)]
[Intelligence: 10 + 2 (novice gift pack) + 3 (Mission reward)]
[Luck: 10 + 1 (novice gift pack) + 3 (Mission reward)]

[The system detects that the host’s current EXP is 2730 points and has reached the threshold for an upgrade. Does the host choose to upgrade?]

“Yes.” Although Lin Zisheng didn’t know the specific benefits of leveling up, it would definitely bring him a lot of benefits.

[Host, please wait a moment. This system will make a final summary.]

[Host Information]　　
[Name: Lin Zisheng]
[Gender: Male]
[Age: 23]
[Attribute point: 0]
[Current level: Level E]
[Current experience: 1230/5000]
[Current Points: 9120]
[Currently acquired skills: Kickboxing, shooting, close combat, interrogation, bloodline suppression]

[Physique: 10 + 3 (Mission reward) + 2 (novice gift pack)]
[Physical Fitness: 10 + 7 (Mission reward)]
[Intelligence: 10 + 2 (novice gift pack) + 3 (Mission reward)]
[Spiritual power: 10]
[Mind: 10 + 5 (Mission reward)]
[Power: 10]
[Agility: 10]
[Charm: 10]
[Luck: 10 + 1 (novice gift pack) + 3 (Mission reward)]

[Summary is completed, does the host want to accept the data of the next world?] Speaking of this, 001 paused for a while, and then with a cautious tone, it asked [Host-daren, you… do you want to rest for a while? We are not in a hurry.]

Lin Zisheng smiled and gently shook his head. He knew what 001 is worried about, but instead of staying in the white space, he might as well do something to keep himself busy.

Seeing that Lin Zisheng had decided, 001 helplessly transferred the information of the next world to Lin Zisheng.

The next world is an easy world too. This world tells a love story between a patient with split personality disorder and a gentle and kind girl. The story is not a glamorous one, but emitted warmth everywhere. The male lead is a successful person. Perhaps caused by the divorce of his parents and the abuse of his stepmother when he was young, the young male lead suffered serious mental trauma. In order to protect himself, another personality is born. As he grows up, both the main personality and alter personality knew about each other’s existence and were able to co-exist in peace. However, when the male lead’s father knew about the disorder, he forcibly made the male lead see a psychiatrist he found for him.

The female lead is working as the receptionist in this private psychology clinic. The two met and gradually became acquainted with each other. The main personality is gentle while the alter personality is irritable. Although the two are completely opposite, they didn’t make any difference in the female lead’s heart. She doesn’t think that the male lead has mental problems. In this way, under the comfort of the female lead, the male lead’s split personality disorder is no longer serious, and he is no different from normal people. Because he spent a long time with the female lead, the male lead fell in love with this gentle girl.

“If this progress continues, this should be a story similar to the Prince and Cinderella falling in love and go happily ever after. What’s there to be changed?” Lin Zisheng looked at the plot and suddenly felt a little boring, this world is not challenging at all.

[No, host-daren. You only say this because you didn’t see the end.] 001’s cat face looked very distorted when it said this. [The ending of this world is when the female lead finally discovered that she loved the main personality more than the alter. After the alter personality found out, he appeared in front of the female lead and killed her. He cut her body apart and proceed to commit suicide, plunging into hell with the main personality.]

Lin Zisheng: Hehe, such a dog blood story!

Lin Zisheng imagined countless possibilities, but he had never thought about a plot like this. This female lead deserves to be a white lotus, and she is also very good at seeking death. An obvious happy world with Happy Ending (HE) can be played until it turned Bad Ending (BE) by her. This is also some ability.

“What’s the mission in this world?” Lin Zisheng rubbed his eyebrows, he had a bad feeling about this. Sure enough, when 001 announced the missions, Lin Zisheng’s expression changed.

[Main mission: Rescue the female lead and help her escape the fate of being dismembered. Reward : EXP 500 & 1,000 Points. Failure will deduct 1,000 Points.]

[Main mission 1: Let the female lead fall in love with you, and then abandon the female lead. Mission reward: EXP 300 & 600 points. No penalty for failure.]

“Wait, what kind of task is this?” Looking at this task, Lin Zisheng felt that the black line on his head [=_=||] was falling down, “Make the female lead fall in love with me and then abandon her? What task is this, 001? Your white lotus rescue system has finally changed genre to nurturing scums system?”

[This… I also don’t know, this task was issued by the main system. I don’t know the specifics.] Seriously, when 001 saw this task, its face also has black lines on it. What is this?

“Is the system trying to force the female lead to blacken and kill me afterward?” Lin Zisheng raised his eyebrows. He glanced up and down at 001 as if he wanted to see what the main system meant through it.

[Host, please rest assured, there will never be that kind of thing happening!] 001’s tone is very confirmed. Although it is not clear why the main system released this task, 001 can affirm that this is definitely for the sake of host-daren.

“Forget it, let’s continue to announce the other missions.” Since Lin Zisheng doesn’t understand it, he’ll just ignore it for now. So far, neither 001 nor the main system has done anything to harm him. This time he’ll reluctantly believe the main system for the time being and think of it as doing this for his own good.

[Main mission 2: Help the male lead to cure his split personality, and get recognition from both personalities. Mission reward: EXP 300 & 600 points. No penalty for failure.]

[Random mission: Obtain feelings from the alter personality. Mission reward: For each kind of feeling you obtained, you can get some character enhancement points, skill points, or equipment enhancement stone.]

Upon hearing the final mission, Lin Zisheng had a question, “What is this character enhancement point, skill point, or equipment enhancement stone?”

[Character enhancement points are used to strengthen the overall attributes of your character. Skill points are used to improve the level of your skills. As for equipment enhancement stones, they are used to improve the quality of your equipment.]

Sensing that Lin Zisheng may not understand its explanation, 001 further explained. [I won’t talk about the character enhancement points. I think you should understand that as well as skill points and level. They are very easy to understand. I will explain the equipment enhancement instead. It is mainly to improve the level of special weapons you obtained in some worlds, such as treasure equipment in the fantasy/xuanhuan world, or wands/staffs/swords in the magic world.]

Hearing that, Lin Zisheng has some understanding in his heart. He nodded, “Let’s go then, to the next world.”

[Alright, going to the 3rd world . Host-daren, please prepare for transmission, 3, 2, 1——]

After 001 finished the countdown, Lin Zisheng disappeared from this white space and went to another world…

10 years is not long, but it’s not short either. If you ask Zhang Daoling what is the deepest impression he had in these 10 years, he will definitely answer that as a Heavenly Master (exorcist), he has fallen in love with a ghost. Moreover, he is an antique-level (super old) ghost. To add to it, the thing that broke him is the ghost is a male.

10 years is enough time for a person to recognize his feelings. Zhang Daoling has changed from the indifferent youth with a poisonous tongue to a mature man, and his whole demeanor has become calm and restrained. This kind of Zhang Daoling attracted more attention from other people. Regrettably, the person he wanted to attract the most is always half-ignoring him.

_ (:3」∠) Heart felt depressed.

After returning home, Zhang Daoling suddenly felt even more depressed when he saw a room of ghosts having a party. By now, he is regretting his decision to let Lin Zisheng come into contact with so much modern knowledge. Recalling the day they first met, Lin Zisheng at that time looked so ignorant and easy to fool. It’s a pity that Zhang Daoling didn’t realize his feeling during that time. When he finally did, Lin Zisheng had become way smarter. No point trying to lie to him as it would be seen through the next minute!

_ (:3」∠) Heart so tired, I can’t feel the love any more.

001: Easy to fool? Male lead daren, you think too much, the so-called silly and naive person has never been his host-daren.

“Ah Ling, you are back?” Feeling that his ‘playmates’ suddenly become agitated, Lin Zisheng turned his head at the door, and he saw Zhang Daoling walking in slowly. It is obvious that his whole body is shrouded in a black aura which makes his ‘playmates; shivering in fear, “Is the job not going well?”

No, it’s my relationship not going well.

Zhang Daoling shook his head and sat weakly on the sofa. He didn’t look like he is okay at all. His depressed appearance is like a big dog that got abandoned by its owner.

“No, I’m just a little tired.” After saying this, although Zhang Daoling’s face is still expressionless, his eyes looked faintly pitiful. However, at the next moment when his gaze fell on the other ‘person’, it became intense.

Although Zhang Daoling’s gaze is quite hidden, Lin Zisheng still managed to find out, which made him feel amused. It is obvious that Zhang Daoling had become a lot more mature over the years, but on the inside, he became more naive instead.

[Ain’t it because of you, host-daren? Don’t tell me that you don’t know about the male lead’s intention at all.] At the beginning of these years, Zhang Daoling’s pursuit was very vague, but recently it has become more obvious, but its host-daren just pretended not to know anything.

“What does this have anything to do with me? He is the one who didn’t say it clearly.” Actually, Lin Zisheng didn’t want to bully Zhang Daoling much. He simply didn’t respond to those too vague hints and acted like he didn’t know. Watching Zhang Daoling getting agitated by himself, Lin Zisheng doesn’t think it’s his fault.

[…Hehe, indeed.] Now 001 is a little sympathetic to the male lead. Its host-daren is getting more black-bellied. Male lead, can you still hold on?

“What’s the matter?” Looking at Zhang Daoling’s pitiful look, Lin Zisheng floated to his side and reached out to press lightly on his temple.

As a ghost, Lin Zisheng’s body temperature has always been cold. At this moment, Zhang Daoling feels comfortable and wants to sigh when Lin Zisheng presses on his head. Lin Zisheng’s thoughtfulness always gave Zhang Daoling the impression that Lin Zisheng knew about his intention. But every time he looks at Lin Zisheng’s clear and ignorant eyes, Zhang Daoling will think that his mind must have been flooded with water to have that thought.

001: Male lead, please don’t doubt your feelings. In fact, host-daren knows everything.

“No, it’s nothing.” Pulling down the hand that had been massaging his temple, Zhang Daoling dropped a gentle kiss on it. Then he raised his head and looked at Lin Zisheng hopefully, only to see a pair of clear eyes. In an instant, Zhang Daoling didn’t want to say anything, his heart felt so tired. _ (:3」∠)

The ghosts who have been watching this scene can’t help but want to sigh in exasperation. Can someone with such a low IQ be a Heavenly Master? The other party clearly knows his intention and is teasing him every day to see when he will confess. As a result, Zhang Daoling silly-ly continued with the one-sided love script until now.

The Lin Zisheng right now has successfully leveled up to become the ghost king due to his bloodline. It stands to reason that he should go to the ghost realm to rule as king. Hence, isn’t it obvious that he is staying behind for Zhang Daoling?

Looking at these two people, a group of single ghosts feels that they have been strongly attacked. It’s better to leave quickly. This shiny light coming from them is no different from sunlight. The lovey-doveyness might start burning them into ashes if it continues.

“Ah Xuan, you won’t go to work with me anymore.” In the past, Lin Zisheng would be by his side no matter where he went, but recently he always gets together with those lonely souls. Is Ah Xuan tired of being with him?

“Your job is to catch ghosts. If I follow, I should help you with the capture, or let you catch me?” Although Lin Zisheng is teasing Zhang Daoling and did not respond to his initial question, in his heart, he always knew his answer.

What Zhang Daoling has done for him in the past 10 years, Lin Zisheng can see it. The saying that humans and ghosts have different paths is no joke. There are only 3 opportunities for humans and ghosts to touch each other in a year, on Qingming Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, and the day that person died. At first, the two didn’t care if they could touch each other, but gradually Zhang Daoling couldn’t be satisfied by this kind of rare contact. Hence, to get close to Lin Zisheng, Zhang Daoling ground the ghost jade into powder and ate it.

Ghost jade is a sacred object from the ghost realm. For ghosts, ghost jade is a good thing to nourish their spirit and it is of no use to living people. However, being useless does not mean that it will be harmless. People who have been in contact with the ghost jade for a long time will develop a faint ghostly aura around them, let alone eating it. If it weren’t for Zhang Daoling’s identity as a Heavenly Master, he might have already become half-human and half-ghost now. It’s impossible to say that Lin Zisheng is not moved by the action, but Zhang Daoling didn’t say anything else so Lin Zisheng could only pretend that he didn’t know anything. He is waiting, waiting for the day when Zhang Daoling finally is willing to speak his mind.

“I want you to accompany me.” This is the most straightforward thing Zhang Daoling can say, but right now, the two people’s thoughts are not on the same channel. For Zhang Daoling’s seemingly confession-like words, Lin Zisheng just smiled and ignored it. The depressed Zhang Daoling didn’t know what to say for a while. Fortunately, someone called his phone at this time to ease his embarrassment. Zhang Daoling almost turned and ran as if he had received an amnesty.

Lin Zisheng felt a bit amused looking at Zhang Daoling acting like that.

…

At the bar, deep in the night.

After Zhang Daoling came to the bar, he saw a man getting dazed from drinking too much. Needless to say, he knew that this man is dumped again.

“What’s wrong? You called me out so late at night.” Zhang Daoling sat next to the man and ordered a glass of juice. He is driving so he didn’t want to drive back under influence later.

“Zhang Daoling, do you have a conscience? Buddy, I just got dumped and you came here shrouded in happiness.” The man patted Zhang Daoling’s shoulder, with a bit of teasing in his tone. Obviously, these two have a good friendship.

After Zhang Daoling heard what he said, his face turned gloomy for a moment. The man naturally saw it and he involuntarily sighed. Right now, he really felt that they are buddies indeed.

“Still haven’t gotten the one in your house yet?”

For anyone who knows Zhang Daoling well, they will know about his 10-year long run of love. Back then, someone laughed and joked about how he as a Heavenly Master fell in love with a male ghost. But later, anyone who saw Zhang Daoling couldn’t help but want to sigh. Not everyone can have 10 years of perseverance.

“En,” Zhang Daoling’s tone sounded weak, “he still doesn’t understand my thoughts, and now I don’t know what to do…”

Of course, Zhang Daoling didn’t think that he couldn’t keep going. He already persisted for 10 years. He didn’t care to wait for another 20 or 30 years. It’s just that Lin Zisheng has always been so ignorant of his feelings and it made him feel despair.

“Wait, don’t tell me that you have been in a one-sided love for 10 years, and you have not confessed even once?!” Hearing what Zhang Daoling said, the man is shocked. It’s fine that he has been chasing his love for 10 years but what the hell is this one-sided love?!

“I have always hinted at him.” Zhang Daoling felt that what he did is already very obvious. It’s a pity that Ah Xuan didn’t seem to understand at all.

“Hehe, hinting? Farts!” Right now, the man really wants to slap Zhang Daoling to make him sober, “Your love is not a woman. If you do this to a woman, they might think more of it. To get friendly with a man, heh, that is called being buddies!” It is said that a person in love has no IQ, but if that has no EQ as well, it is simply a natural disaster!

Hearing what the man said, Zhang Daoling’s expression became a little ugly, “Then what should I do?”

At the same time, Zhang Daoling’s heart suddenly surged with hope. Perhaps, he will finally get a result after today, whether it is good or bad.

“Are you really stupid or something? Of course you have to go straight up to confess, no matter if he can accept you now or not. At the very least, you have to let him know what is in your heart, that he is not just a friend, but a lover for life.”

These words caused Zhang Daoling to stiffen, and then he nodded. Since Ah Xuan can accompany him for 10 years, he should be able to accompany him for the rest of his life. In that case, what else is he afraid of?

After thanking the man, Zhang Daoling almost rushed back like he is driving a racing car. When he opened the door, he saw Lin Zisheng standing alone by the window, basking in the moonlight. For a moment, Zhang Daoling’s heart that was beating wildly started to quiet down.

“Ah Xuan, I’m back.” Looking at Lin Zisheng with a fixed gaze, Zhang Daoling’s always calm gaze carried a trace of greed. He wanted this person and wanted to keep him by his side forever, “I want to tell you something, can you listen to me?”

Feeling Zhang Daoling holding himself in his arms, Lin Zisheng didn’t even notice that the corners of his mouth have curved up slightly.

“Ah Xuan, I like you, so please stay with me forever, okay?”

Banana: Alright, this is the end of Arc 2. The next arc has 9k word count as its 1st chapter lol _(;3/ gotta split that

“You are… You are Zhang Daoling!”

At this moment, Ghost Elder finally realized who is this person in front of him, and understood the feeling of fear. This person… is Zhang Daoling, the one who once sealed him and almost destroyed his soul!

In fact, the hatred between Ghost Elder and Mount Longhu was caused by Zhang Daoling. Back then, Ghost Elder is already a king in his territory, but when he is at the peak of his time, he suffered his first miserable defeat, even almost got his soul destroyed by Zhang Daoling. After that, his strength fell again and again. If it’s not for many years of cultivation, Ghost Elder is afraid that he would not be able to rise again. What he didn’t expect is just when he is about to grow stronger once more, this damned person appeared again!

“Didn’t you already know my name right from the start?” Seeing Ghost Elder glaring at him with hostility and murderous intent, Zhang Daoling felt puzzled in his heart.

Didn’t this ghost know who he is from the beginning? Zhang Daoling didn’t forget what Ghost Elder blurted out when they first met – he said ‘Zhang Daoling’s golden coin sword’. Since Ghost Elder knew, why is he so surprised now?

Indeed, Ghost Elder knew about Zhang Daoling’s name from Bai Manman’s mouth. Just that, his knowledge of this Zhang Daoling is limited to his name and his identity as the junior of Mount Longhu. How could Ghost Elder figure that this person is from the direct bloodline of that Zhang Daoling, or even the reincarnation of that person himself?

“Time is limited, don’t continue talking nonsense with him.”

Lin Zisheng looked at Ghost Elder who had a shocked expression. He didn’t know why Ghost Elder behaved like this right now, but he didn’t have time to think about that. He was not an alarmist but they only have 1 hour. After that, Lin Zisheng might be able to still control the demon binding array a little bit, but he won’t win if Ghost Elder fought him for the control.

Zhang Daoling looked back at Lin Zisheng’s rapidly pale face and immediately understood their current situation. No matter what, all he had to do was to get rid of Ghost Elder as soon as possible.

Obviously, not only Zhang Daoling felt Lin Zisheng’s struggle, Ghost Elder felt it as well. Glaring at Lin Zisheng with strong killing intent, Ghost Elder knew that the reason why he has fallen into this situation is completely because of this person. As long as he can swallow him (LZS), he won’t have to be afraid of the other person, even if this young man is really that Zhang Daoling!

It’s just that while the idea is good, but it is too difficult to implement because Ghost Elder found that Lin Zisheng seemed to have a kind of air current protecting around him, and his attacks had no effect on Lin Zisheng at all.

“As long as I can control the array, no one can attack me. Similarly, there is no way to leave here either.” Lin Zisheng smiled. Though his face getting paler and paler, there is strong confidence in his smile. His self-confidence came not only from his self-confidence but also his trust in Zhang Daoling. Lin Zisheng believed that Zhang Daoling can finish the enemy within an hour!

After Zhang Daoling heard what Lin Zisheng said, Zhang Daoling swiped his finger at the golden coin sword, and a smear of blood appeared on the surface. Using blood as a sacrifice to the sword, Zhang Daoling is getting serious now.

When Ghost Elder saw this, he can’t help feeling the hatred in his heart. This is the same as last time. In order to get rid of him, Zhang Daoling used his blood as an offering to the sword and almost destroyed his soul. Fortunately, Ghost Elder is clever enough and managed to escape, though with serious injuries. And now, this Zhang Daoling wanted to do it again?!

“Zhang Daoling, your luck in this lifetime is not as good as your last life!” Now that he has the girl with Heavenly yin, how could Ghost Elder be defeated like in his last life?!

Lin Zisheng instantly understood what Ghost Elder meant, and swiftly stood in front of Bai Manman to block Ghost Elder’s attack, while enduring the pressure.

[Host-daren, if you save Bai Manman like this, her fate will be the same as what we saw in the plot. Then, your mission will fail!] 001 screamed after seeing Lin Zisheng’s reaction. What happened to host-daren, he actually gives himself up to save the female lead?!

Lin Zisheng didn’t answer 001’s words, but remained standing in front of Bai Manman with a smile on his face. Golden light appeared on his palms, blocking Ghost Elder’s attack.

The current Lin Zisheng is different from the original Ying Qingxuan. Ying Qingxuan has already given up most of his vitality, so he can’t activate his bloodline at all. That’s why he will be defeated by Ghost Elder in the plot but Lin Zisheng’s strength is different from Ying Qingxuan’s. 001 also realized the difference, and can’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But Zhang Daoling didn’t know this at all. When he saw Lin Zisheng blocking in front of Bai Manman, he thought his heartbeat almost stopped. There is also a faint sour-ish pang in his heart. She is just a traitor, why Qingxuan protected her with so much effort?!

After a moment’s stupefaction, Zhang Daoling sensitively discovered that Lin Zisheng’s face has become paler! At this moment, Zhang Daoling’s actions acted faster than his mind. He rushed towards Lin Zisheng and dragged him out of the scope of the fight. As for Bai Manman, heh, she is just a bad person. How’s that matter to him?

“Are you crazy? Do you know that if you continue to block the attack, it will consume your lifespan?!” Although ghosts are not living creatures, they also have lifespans. If they exerted too much power of their lifespan, their soul will disappear.

“Can’t… cough cough… can’t let him get the Heavenly yin girl. Otherwise… otherwise we won’t stand a chance against him…” Lin Zisheng’s voice became much weaker, and he looked at Bai Manman worriedly. Of course, he is not worried about Bai Manman, but Ghost Elder increasing his power after swallowing her.

“So what if he really swallowed Bai Manman? He still doesn’t stand any chance of winning.” Seeing that Lin Zisheng still cared about Bai Manman, Zhang Daoling really wanted to wake him up, “Using so much to protect a traitor, is your life that worthless?!”

Zhang Daoling’s words deeply agitated Bai Manman. To hear the person she admired and loved the most saying such words, Bai Manman felt like something has broken into pieces inside…

“See, they won’t save you, they don’t care about your life or death at all,” Ghost Elder watched this scene with mockery. His eyes are full of disdain as he said, “So what if you like that person? Yes, he will never put you in his eyes.”

Right now, Bai Manman looked like a doll that has lost its soul, leaving only an empty shell.

“So, give me your body ba. I will avenge you.” Ghost Elder’s voice is full of enticement, and he looked at Bai Manman with deep eagerness in his eyes.

As long as he can swallow this girl, he will be able to gain immense power. At that time, he is no longer a ghost, but a human being. What can Zhang Daoling as a Heavenly Master do then?

“Ah Ling, stop him!” Seeing Bai Manman’s eyes become more and more unfocused, Lin Zisheng knew that Ghost Elder is about to succeed. If so, this array won’t have any effect anymore.

“It’s okay.” Zhang Daoling shook his head slightly. He turned to look at Ghost Elder with sarcasm in his eyes as if he is looking at someone who is trying to kill himself.

At this moment, Lin Zisheng doesn’t know if it is an illusion or something else. He felt a familiar feeling from this person as if he had known this person before.

Ghost Elder laughed when he heard Zhang Daoling’s words. Originally he thought that this Zhang Daoling is the person he used to know, but now it seems that he is just someone with the same name. How could that Zhang Daoling do such a stupid thing? For Ghost Elder, everything went very smoothly, except that when he is about to completely swallow Bai Manman, she awoke in the middle. However, this is not a problem at all for the Ghost Elder. With a few moves, he tore apart the soul of Bai Manman who started struggling and swallowed her.

Looking down at his brand new body, Ghost Elder has a triumphant smile on his face. Hehe, he has finally become a human. No, not just a human, but also someone who has a lot of ghostly energy on his body. If he cultivates a bit more, sooner or later, he will be able to reign over 3 realms at will! Thinking of this, Ghost Elder turned his greedy gaze on Lin Zisheng again. Zhang Daoling is no longer attractive to him. The rich smell of true dragon blood on Lin Zisheng made him felt eager instead. Originally, Ghost Elder thought Lin Zisheng had no power and possessed just a little bit of true dragon’s blood. But after obtaining the power of the girl with Heavenly yin, he understood that he had misunderstood from the beginning. Lin Zisheng is not an offspring from a human with a descendant of a race containing true dragon’s blood, but he himself is a real horned dragon – the race closest to a true dragon!

“It should be over soon.” Noticing Ghost Elder’s greedy eyes, Zhang Daoling suddenly felt displeased. In his heart, he thought that this ‘person’ should just disappear as soon as possible!

“Over?” As if he heard something funny, Ghost Elder laughed out loud and looked at Zhang Daoling, “Yes, it is indeed going to be over, but the last person standing is not you!”

Only after Ghost Elder finished saying this, he felt something is wrong. He felt a tingling sensation on his body as if countless ants are burrowing under the skin. The excruciating pain caused his face to change to a painful expression, “What’s going on?!”

Of course, this is not the end, but the beginning. Slowly, large purplish-red spots appeared on his body. This is…

“This is corpse spots (Livor mortis), I think you should know it.” Zhang Daoling’s tone is still so indifferent, but with an infuriating tone.

“Impossible, why are corpse spots appearing?!” At this moment, Ghost Elder found that he didn’t know what is wrong with the body; it is decaying rapidly. What’s more frightening is he discovered that his soul is following the body’s deterioration and became increasingly weaker.

“Because Bai Manman is already dead from the beginning. In fact, when she first got attacked by a ghost, she had already died under the claws of the ghost, and even her soul was mostly swallowed up,” Zhang Daoling smiled as he looked at Ghost Elder like he is looking at some joke, “She is just a remnant soul I made to stay behind with a forbidden technique.”

Not needing any explanation, Ghost Elder can understand what’s going on. It happened due to his negligence. When he saw the girl with Heavenly yin, he already sensed that something is wrong with her, but he was fascinated by her power so he dismissed the feeling. It’s too late to regret it now…

Watching as the ‘person’ decays with the body, Zhang Daoling’s face has a pity expression, “Everything is over…”
