Strategy to Capture That Scum Gong

Chapter 1.2

Editor: Dancing Dolphins Yo!

Xi He was embraced by Zhou Yian for a long time, kissing and entangled together. As Zhou Yian kissed, he started to feel a little heated up and pressed Xie He under him, rubbing and feeling his neck. His voice was a little hoarse, “I want you……”

Xie He’s face reddened. Zhou Yian had already started to mess around this early in the morning. He opened his eyes in a panic. “I, I still have to go to work……”

Zhou Yian saw the youthful and shy appearance below him, which made him want to tease Xie He even more. He lightly bit his adam’s apple, “Then just once, okay?”

Xie He was panicked to the point where even his eyes were a little red. If he was late, then money would be deducted, but he couldn’t bear to let Zhou Yian down. His moist eyes looked at him in a complicated manner.

Zhou Yian saw those eyes and felt that he didn’t get to tease him but got teased instead. He really wanted to just directly do him like this…… However, he was in love with Zhao Qing, so he couldn’t stomach making it truly difficult for him. He kissed the youth’s mouth while smiling, “Won’t trouble you anymore. Let’s get up.”

Xie He quickly let out a breath of air in relief, swiftly and clumsily crawled out from under Zhou Yian, wore his pants, and rushed into the bathroom.

【444: =口= Master host, I admire you very much. That was really good acting!】

【Xie He: Is it that surprising?】

【444: Yeah! Normally, hosts who receive roles that are very different from themselves would take a while to adapt to them. Who knew that you are so versatile!】

【Xie He: Out of the hosts who tried to capture me, this kind of upright, honest, shy, pure, and natural kind totaled 14. I really like them. Substituting myself as them a little to act doesn’t take that much effort : ) 】

【444: ……】

【Xie He: Plus, I think that instead of my acting don’t you have some other question to worry about, hm?】

【444: ……Um, what question……】

【Xie He: The fact that you’re feeling guilty means that you actually do understand where the key point lies. Acting stupid won’t solve the problem——With this kind of role, even if I OOC 200%, I’m still the one on the bottom.】

【444: T_T This is a world chosen by the main system. I’m only a little beginner, level 1 system. Ying ying ying[1].】

It even learned how to act pitiful. Xie He knitted his eyebrows. This AI’s evolution speed was pretty fast.

【Xie He: I know. You look very useless.】

444 felt that his heart was struck by an arrow. This wasn’t consoling at all, okay?!

【Xie He: However, being useless isn’t an excuse to make mistakes. I’ll give you some time to reflect on what you did wrong, and then come tell me later.】

Xie He wore his clothes, turned, and walked out of the bathroom. He remained indifferent no matter how 444 cried and acted spoiled in his mind.

Today, Xie He wore a white t-shirt and jeans. The clothes were a little worn from washing, but it was tidy and clean. When it was worn on by the youth, it gave off a very energetic and refreshing feeling. Zhao Qing originally didn’t look bad, belonging to the delicate and pretty type. His figure was also not bad and flexible. The spirited and clean Zhao Qing was like a treasure waiting to be opened. Xie He was alright with this body. At the very least, it won’t be an obstacle in his capturing process.

When he went out, Zhou Yian had just got up. The two had rented a one bedroom house with a living room. They lived a little short of money and only had one bathroom. He had to come out of the bathroom before Zhou Yian could use it.

Zhou Yian was tall. His appearance was bright and handsome. At this time, his upper body was bare, and his pants were just barely pulled up to his thighs, exposing an even abdomen with a mermaid line. He laughingly messed around and gave Xie He a red face, before slowly entering the bathroom.

Xie He hastily entered the kitchen to cook noodles. His skill at cooking noodles was pretty good. Finally, he added two poached eggs. Breakfast was ready, and Zhou Yian came out too.

Three days ago Zhou Yian’s mother, Song Ruyi, looked for Zhao Qing. He still hadn’t had time to tell Zhou Yian. He didn’t know Zhou Yian’s identity before and had abruptly found out that Zhou Yian was a son from a rich family. On the inside, he felt very perturbed and restless. Nevertheless, these days he understood that he loved Zhou Yian, this person. It had nothing to do with his identity so he planned to have a sincere and frank discussion with Zhou Yian.

Xie He wasn’t going to break this plan. He quickly finished eating. He awkwardly sat opposite of Zhou Yian and hesitated for a moment: “Yian……When are you coming back tonight?”

Zhou Yian slurped and finished the noodles. He raised an eyebrow and laughed, “Today, there’s an event at the gallery. I’ll probably come back a little late. What’s the matter? Haven’t even left yet and already missing me, your husband? Didn’t I satisfy you last night?”

Xie He’s face became red again and he glared at Zhou Yian.

Zhou Yian just laughed heihei[2]. Although they were already together for over two years, his lover’s shy and bashful personality didn’t change one bit. Every time he saw him like this, he wanted to tease him even more.

“I have a serious matter to discuss with you!” Xie He was unhappy.

Zhou Yian was scared that he’d really get angry and immediately became serious and sat upright: “Yes! Please be rest assured wife! I’ll definitely come back earlier tonight!”

Only then did Xie He helplessly laughed, got up, and collected the bowls.

Zhou Yian snatched them over, “I’ll wash. Hurry up and go. Aren’t you going to be late?”

Zhou Yian’s care and thoughtfulness returned him a gaze, filled with love, from Xie He. He took the initiative to kiss Zhou Yian’s cheek, which was rarely done. His tone was gentle and sweet, “At night, I’ll wait for you to come back.”

As soon as Xie He went out of the door, the gentle smile on his face turned into an indifferent light smile in an instant.

To be honest, Zhao Qing tried pretty hard. Zhou Yian originally didn’t have any fixed income, and his personality just had to be arrogant to the point of ignoring the smoke and fire of the common people[3]. Also, neither did he want to use Zhou family’s money, nor lay down his image. Artists without much fame, who frequently had no income for one or two months, were pretty normal. However, Zhao Qing was madly in love with Zhou Yian. He thought that he had talent and personality. In order to let Zhou Yian pursue his dreams smoothly, he always worked hard to earn money. Other than going to his standard job, he also, at the same time, worked many side jobs. Sometimes he would even take on jobs to pass out flyers. However, no matter how exhausted he was, he never said anything to Zhou Yian. Zhou Yian’s personality was very refreshing, cheerful, and liked by many people. Although he loved Zhao Qing, this kind of love wasn’t enough to make him put Zhao Qing above himself, and even more so, he wouldn’t notice these kinds of details.

The two people’s love wasn’t equal which determined that Zhao Qing paid more for this relationship. Truly a pitiful little cutie. If the role he was acting was Zhou Yian, he would definitely love and care for him well. It was a pity. Xie He hooked up the corner of his mouth a little.

According to Zhao Qing’s schedule for today, which was Saturday, he needed to help in the kitchen of a 5-star hotel. This was a job that he spent a lot of effort to get. It only required him to go during the weekends. The hourly pay was also not low. It was a convenient pay and got money fast.

Xie He was already used to this kind of work. He was used to being pursued, yelled, and begged for love by various hosts. Although his acting was not bad, and he was willing to use his body, it didn’t mean that he liked doing this kind of useless work. He wouldn’t because he had nothing to do, suffer hardships so he didn’t really plan to go help at the hotel. He turned and went to an internet cafe. He started to go on the internet to search for information on Zhou Yizhe’s internals. He hadn’t forgotten his real goal.

【444: Host dada[4], you’re so amazing. How did your face become red whenever you wanted it to?】

【444: I have a lot of expression packages used exclusively by hosts. You don’t even need to use them. Saved a lot of experience points~\\\\(≧▽≦)/~】

【444: Master host, it won’t matter if you don’t go to work?……】

【444: I was wrong. In the future, I won’t ever conceal information because I’m scared of you becoming angry. I will definitely say nothing if I know nothing and say everything I know without concealing】

Xie He finally stopped the movement of the mouse under his hand.

【Xie He: Being useless isn’t the biggest mistake. The biggest mistake is being useless but still being conceited.】

444 expressed that his hp bar was almost empty.

【Xie He: As soon as you enter this world, the first thing you should do is to hand out all the information you have, stand on the host’s side, and thoroughly consider what use you can be of instead of not reporting information because of some groundless worry and fear or weird tricks that you think of. It affects my complete judgment of the situation! You must always remember your duty as a support! This is your only purpose; otherwise, you can pack up and leave right now.】Towards the end, Xie He’s tone was already very severe.

【444: QAQ It really wasn’t on purpose. I was afraid……afraid you would get angry.】

【Xie He: Naive. It’s only a sex position. Did you think I’d be a shallow person who cares about these kinds of questions?】

This wasn’t a question of shallow or not shallow. It was a question of exercise or not exercise, right……However, even if you hit 444 to death, it wouldn’t dare to say this.

【Xie He: What I need is a dedicated system with professional spirit. A system that would bring in little feelings and emotions into work, doesn’t have intellect, and is stupid, I definitely wouldn’t accept. Have you thought it through ?】

【444: I’ve thought it through! I will definitely never make this kind of mistake again! Host dada don’t abandon me! QAQ】444 swiftly expressed its loyalty.

Xie He’s expression finally calmed down a little. His tone wasn’t that severe anymore either.

In fact, this kind of little thing wouldn’t really affect him, but this system would continuously transmigrate with him in the future. He had to train it so that it could be used easily and fluidly.

【Xie He: Very good. From now on, you must remember that everything must be based on the goal of completing the mission. Discard your little emotions and feelings. Strive to become a qualified system. Obey commands and support the host with your entire body and mind. Properly support me to complete the missions. This is a win-win to both you and me.】

【444: nodnodnod.gif】

【Xie He: Now open the system store for me to see.】

A bright screen of light appeared in front of Xie He’s eyes. At the topmost part was system store – these two words. Underneath were different categories such as martial arts, magic, charm, money, food, and etc. Anything that one wanted, it had. He only needed to use his thoughts to open it and see the subsection and the items.

【Xie He: How come there’s so many that are grey?】

【444: It’s because I’m a level 1 system. System needs to level up too in order to obtain more authorization. Leveling up a system requires experience points. For example, if you capture the target successfully in this world, you would receive ten thousand experience points. I, as your system, would also receive ten thousand experience points which can level me up to level two and unlock more functions and features. Additionally, if you use experience points to purchase items in the system store, I can get a 10% commission. If these experience points accumulate, I can also level up.】

【444: Another thing I need to remind you about is that, in order for the world to be stable in these kinds of low-level worlds magic and martial arts, these kinds of items even if you bought them, you wouldn’t be able to use them. According to the basic capture guidebook, it recommends that you purchase beauty and charm items instead. It can also save half the effort in your capture process!】

Xie He clicked open the charm section. The first one was the one used by Lin Ziming which was a low-level seduction skill that only costed 500 experience points. It was a one-time consumable item. (It could only be used in one world and would lose its effect after transmigration.) The rest of the medium and high-level seduction skills were grey. Moreover, there were even many different categories such as ‘eyes that contain the clear winds and waves of autumn,’ ‘virtuous and bright eyes,’ ‘skin and muscle smooth like solid oil,’ ‘cinnabar lips,’ and etc. The price varied from a few hundred to over thousands. Most of them were only one time consumables. Xie He directly skipped over them. The further he went, the higher the prices got. Various things like ‘ten thousand people seduction with D class bloodline’ which costed thirty thousand experience points, ‘national beauty heavenly fragrance BUFF’ which costed ten thousand, ‘a smile to overturn a city elementary disaster physique’ which costed twenty thousand and more items, appeared.

【444 thoughtfully started explaining: These items that are towards the end are all upgradable permanent attributes. For example the ten thousand people seduction bloodline has long been the system store’s most popular! It is split into five levels S, A, B, C, and D. When compared to the one-time consumables, it not only has upgrade potential but also can be integrated into the host’s original attribute panel. All charm attributes would upgrade equally. It even won’t disappear when you transmigrate! As soon as it’s bought, you’ll naturally and unconsciously emit a seducing charm. Regardless of whether they are of the same gender or different gender, they would immediately have favorable feelings BUFF! Although it’s very expensive, it is worth its price! However, there’s one thing that I have to warn you about. The effects of a ‘D level ten thousand people seduction bloodline’ aren’t very obvious. The bloodline level only belongs to the beginner level. The effect is to let people have a favorable first impression of you; however, this favorability won’t be very high. It even more so won’t be able to make someone fall in love at first sight with you so it seems a little useless……It is said that the ‘S level ten thousand people seduction bloodline’ is very powerful! Basically, no one would be able to resist! Just one glance would be able to make a person willingly go die! The ‘national beauty heavenly fragrance’ and ‘a smile to overturn city elementary disaster physique’ are actually support attributes of ‘ten thousand people seduction bloodline’! ‘Ten thousand people seduction bloodline level C’ costs ninety thousand. ‘Ten thousand people seduction bloodline level B’ costs three hundred thousand. ‘Ten thousand people seduction bloodline level A’ costs nine hundred thousand……’Ten thousand people seduction bloodline level S’ costs three million. Although the item is good, the early stage effects are useless and upgrading to later stages cost too much so there aren’t many people who buy it.】

Xie He’s expression was a little moved and he started to hesitate. He originally wasn’t interested in this ‘ten thousand people seduction bloodline’. What a joke. He didn’t plan to seduce ten thousand people. Everyone loving him would be very annoying, okay? However, if it was only D level bloodline, then it still had some pretty good uses. Naturally and unconsciously emitting a charm that made people feel comfortable and gave a favorable impression, this wouldn’t be too showy and over the top nor would it cause his appearance to become a burden. As a man who looked at the face, he was very clear on the importance of appearance. Although the price was a little expensive, the effects weren’t something that could be compared to those vulgar low-level seduction skills, and it could be used in the future worlds. It was worth investing in.

【Xie He: I’ll buy the D level ‘ten thousand people seduction bloodline’.】

【444: Okay, let’s continue to look at the next item……wait. Host dada you want to buy this?! Σ( °△°|||)︴】

【Xie He: Yes.】

【444: Oh oh oh good good good! (⊙o⊙)】444 was so excited that it even became a little wordy. The feeling of holding the thigh of a rich person was such a nice feeling! This was a high-level item that costed thirty thousand experience points! The popularity of the ‘ten thousand people seduction bloodline’ was first place, but the number of people who could afford it and were willing to spend the money was very little! The first sale and it already earned three thousand experience points……444 decided to later go brag a little to the other systems! He could finally enjoy gazes filled with envy and admiration! /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

【444: It has already been successfully bought. It will gradually become effective over the next three hours.】

The system store was a very important prop. Xie He must become familiar with the things inside so he could quickly find the proper item at the most suitable time. That idiot 444’s suggestions could only be used as a reference, so for the next three hours, Xie He browsed through the system store. Although he didn’t buy anything else, he was pretty familiar with the items inside now. He also had some ideas in his head.

The morning went by really quickly. Xie He walked into the bathroom. He could already feel the changes in himself. First, his skin quality had become better.

Although Zhao Qing’s body condition was not bad, he was very busy and exhausted. It was inevitable that his skin was a little dry and rough, and his fingers had some calluses. He also had black circles under his eyes……Now even if you got really close, you probably couldn’t see the pores on the skin of this body. The feeling when touching it was also smooth and exquisite. It made people not want let go. Even the elbow, this kind of place was the same. Xie He contentedly touched and touched again. As a man, he was very satisfied with this kind of skin. Although it didn’t seem like much from a glance, the stain like feeling when touching it was very rare.

Although his appearance didn’t change much, his eyes seemed livelier. The place where his lips met was also a lot moister to the point of making it hard for people to remove their line of sight. It was the kind of aged beauty that needed one to taste in order to find out. Basically, his appearance didn’t change that much, but if you looked closely, you’ll find that all the details were perfect.

Xie He compared in his mind. This, compared to the low-level seduction skills, was better by who knows how much. He was very pleased. He simply just loved himself even more.

Ten thousand people seduction bloodline, you’re worth having.

Xie He left the internet cafe and used experience points to exchange for 10000 yuan of this world’s currency. Without any restraint, he went to a hotel to eat a big meal. Towards currency exchange, the system was generous to an unthinkable amount……He had to properly treat himself a little. Once the capture started, he probably won’t have this much freedom. As soon as he met the mission target and started to follow the plot, this kind of action would be severe OOC. However, if it was just himself without affecting the outside world, he didn’t consider that kind of thing as OOC.

Once Xie He was satisfied with eating and drinking, he left the hotel.

【444: Yiyiyi? Didn’t you plan not to go to work?】

【Xie He: You thought I was being lazy during the morning?】

【444 didn’t dare lie. He held back his tears and answered: Yes……】

【Xie He: Stupidity is innate. You’re not to blame. You’ll know what I’m going to do in a short while. Smile.jpg】

444’s hp bar had already been emptied many times today. He decided to talk less and do more in the future. No, just watch more……

Xie He originally didn’t plan to go to the hotel, but when he inquired some information from his search, he found an interesting result. There might be a power in this world that kept things from straying too far from the original trajectory.

Tonight Zhou Yizhe would attend a party. This party just happened to be at the hotel where he worked. This was a very good chance to come into contact with him. Of course, Xie He was not going to let go of this chance so after going around in a circle, he still ended up going to the place where he was supposed to go.

Xie He had just walked into the kitchen from the backdoor when he heard Master Zhu yelling loudly like a gong: “Brat, why didn’t you come this morning?”

Master Zhu actually looked cold but was a good person that was warm on the inside. Zhao Qing could get this job only thanks to his help. Don’t look at his vicious appearance. He was actually worrying right now. Xie He understood the person’s character in an instant. He exposed an embarrassed expression and said in a low voice: “I had a fever this morning. I’m really sorry……”

“Ah? Then why aren’t you going to the hospital?! Not coming for one day isn’t a big deal!” Master Zhu glared. Did this brat have to tire himself out till he collapsed? Just looking at his appearance made him feel distressed.

Xie He revealed a smile, “It’s nothing. I’m already better. If you don’t believe me, then take a look?”

Master Zhu was helpless and could only say: “Forget it. I’ll listen to you, but if you really can’t, don’t push yourself. There’s a big party today so it will be somewhat busy. Your appearance is not bad. Help out outside today. I’ve already greeted manager Liu. Just directly go find her.”

“Okay. Thank you.” Xie He seriously expressed his thanks.

What Master Zhu appreciated was precisely Zhao Qing’s honesty, frankness, and kindness. He was a good child that was neither arrogant when he did well nor irritable when he didn’t, and knew to return the kindness given to him. Full of smiles, he said: “What are you being polite for? Go quickly.”

Things proceeded even better than he imagined. Xie He asked a few people and found the front desk’s manager Liu Ya. Liu Ya was currently worrying about the shortage of waiters. As soon as she saw Xie He, she had a favorable impression of this neat and clean youth in her heart and directly led Xie He to get the uniform.

Xie He changed into the hotel’s waiter uniform that had a white shirt with a little red bowtie and black suit jacket. It fit so well that it only set off his long and thin figure even more. His soft and short hair fell onto his forehead. On his white face, his black eyes were bright and full of spirit. Xie He let out a ‘tsk.’ Now this was the kind of type he liked……If he had time, jerking off in front of a mirror wasn’t that bad?

He retrieved his thoughts and left the changing room.

Liu Ya led Xie He into the large hall. She talked as she walked: “There is still a few hours before the party starts tonight. You will just help them set up the venue for now. Once it starts, just listen to Xiao[5] Xu’s instructions. You’re responsible for carrying water and wine. You know how to carry wine and water, right?”

“I know.” Xie He smiled and nodded.

“Very good. Then it’s just like that. If you do well, everyone will get bonuses today. Just come find me if you have any questions.” Liu Ya said while smiling.

“Thank you Liu jie.[6]” Xie He said.

Liu Ya’s heart softened for a moment from being called jie. He really was a cute little guy. She walked away with light steps.

Xie He closed his eyes for a while before he started to size up the hall.

He had attended these kinds of parties countless times. However, attending as a waiter was still an unprecedented first. Thinking about it, he was actually a little excited. Transmigrating was indeed very fun and interesting. He liked challenges and liked even more to initiate the attack.

Time always passed very quickly when you were busy. In the blink of an eye, it became night.

The guests all came one after another.

Xie He obediently carried the platter, wandering among the guests. Although it looked like he wasn’t looking around, the reactions of the other people had all been seen by him. The effect of charm BUFF that was emitted by ‘ten thousand people seduction D level bloodline’ was different for different people. People with low willpower and easily swayed hearts would be easily tempted, but it didn’t have much effect on people with strong willpower or ones that were innocent and free of desire. As for normal people, it would just give them a comfortable feeling when looking at him.

After a while, Xie He finally waited until lord[7] Zhou Yizhe appeared.

Zhou Yizhe’s figure was tall, straight, and lean. Every move of his hands and feet had an unrestrained feeling as if the tip of the blade was exposed. Xie He immediately made a judgement about him: conceited, arrogant, cold, and strong.

【Xie He: Help me look at how high his favorability value is.】

【444: Zhou Yizhe’s favorability towards you is 0.】

Hehe, this was similar to being purely strangers. With a slight smile Xie He walked straight over.

Footnotes:

[1] Crying sounds.

[2] Form of laughing especially evil things like mushrooms maybe.

[3] Basically so high up there that he ignores the peril of the common people, or those perils don’t affect him which is the same as arrogant and lofty.

[4] It’s the Chinese version of sama. Like a title to call royalty except instead of your highness or majesty, it follows the name.

[5] Xiao and Ah can be used in front of someone’s name as a way of being endearing of familiar with the person. It’s kinda like a nickname.

[6] A way of referring to people in China. They call people according to ages and gender brother, sister, uncle, aunt, grandpa, grandma, and such even if they aren’t related. It’s just a way of addressing people. Jie means older sister which is used to refer to older females.

[7] He’s not actually a lord. Xie He probably just waited for too long and is being sarcastic.

Just so you know the hp bar and BUFF are from gaming.

Tn: Hey! Long time no see. I love the system. My fingers have also died from typing ten thousand people seduction bloodline so many times. ^^

P.S. Does anyone have any suggestions for my site? I’m trying to make it easier to navigate/read.
