Part 4

“Oh, forgot you like him. You definitely favor him.”

Wen Rong: “…”

Lin Jinghang leaned slightly closer to him. “If you beg me, I can raise my hand high and let him off.”

Wen Rong was surprised. “Why do I have to beg you?”

“For the sake of both being transmigrators, I’m willing to give you face.”

“If Shi Ye were here, would you also make him beg you?”

Lin Jinghang was dumbfounded, then hooked his lips in a smile, having already answered with his expression.

Wen Rong imagined that if Shi Ye heard these words from Lin Jinghang, he would definitely say disdainfully, “I’ll win for you to see.”

What about himself? What would he say?

Wen Rong thought briefly and said: “I understand. You sought me out to say so much, actually just to bully me like you bully Shi Ye, to watch me struggle in despair.”

Lin Jinghang laughed. “I didn’t even know I wanted that myself. I just occasionally show some kindness for the sake of you being a transmigrator like me.”

“If I beg you, you will let Shi Ye go?”

“Of course.”

“Are there no other conditions?”

“Well, there is still that.”

This was a willful, clueless, insidious madman.

He was a bit like a crazy version of Zhou Xie.

—But he can change the plot.

—He has many points.

Wen Rong vaguely grasped something.

“Brother, can points be traded?” he asked the System.

Since Lin Jinghang could use points to recklessly change the book’s plot, could he use them to change his own inevitable ending of death?

He had to try. He couldn’t continue to be in a passive state.

【Yes.】

“Just begging is boring. Do you want to make a bet with me?” Wen Rong asked Lin Jinghang after deliberation.

Lin Jinghang seemed interested. “What bet?”

“You say Shi Ye will lose. I bet he wins.”

“I’ve already changed the plot; he will definitely lose.” Lin Jinghang tilted his head. “Do you know Zhao Zeyang has been asking me to think of a way to get you? If you bet with me, you’ll have to accompany Zhao Zeyang for a wonderful night.”

“Although I don’t like your disrespectful phrasing, since it’s a bet, I accept the consequences of losing.”

“Oh? You want to bet with me this much, what’s your objective?”

“I need points. If you lose, give me points.”

A bit of wariness finally appeared on Lin Jinghang’s cynical face. “What do you want my points for?”

“I only want 11 points.”

“Only 11 points.”

“Yes, I’m short 11 points to survive. I want 11 points.”

Lin Jinghang chuckled, beginning to feel smug again. “I can hear it; you really need these few points.”

Wen Rong looked at his expression and replied immediately: “Yes, I need them very much.”

“But I don’t need to bet with you because Shi Ye will definitely lose.”

“Then you can’t help Zhao Zeyang get me. And actually, you really want to do this, right? The condition for you raising your hand high just now was exactly this.”

“…”

“…”

In the silence, Lin Jinghang narrowed his eyes.

Looking at it from all angles, taking this bet was simply all gain and no pain.

Just 11 points, a drop in the bucket, barely making a dent in his tens of thousands of points. Moreover, the plot for Shi Ye losing was already changed; Wen Rong definitely wouldn’t win.

Lin Jinghang admitted he was very tempted. On one hand, it solved the matter Zhao Zeyang had been nagging in his ear about. On the other hand, he loved watching others struggle bitterly in a certain-lose situation. That was the only fun in his boring day-to-day life.

“We can make this bet.”

“But you need to earn my trust,” Wen Rong added.

“Me?”

“Yes.”

“You don’t trust me, why bet with me?”

“Because you are the only other transmigrator I’ve met. I’ve seen sexual transactions, never point transactions.”

It was so reasonable that Lin Jinghang couldn’t refute it for a moment.

He was silent for a few seconds, then said: “Points cannot be transferred directly, but I can exchange items for you to use.”

“If surviving requires 30 points to exchange for a Mystery Grand Prize, and you promised to give me 11 points, can you just say ‘insufficient points’ later and not exchange it?”

Lin Jinghang was surprised by Wen Rong’s sharpness, then thought that his mistrust just now was actually correct. He couldn’t help but sneer, “You’ve made me look at you with new eyes.”

“Then raise the stake to 30 points.”

“Then my stake changes too. You accompany my uncle first, then go accompany Zhao Zeyang.”

“That is an extremely disrespectful request. However, for 30 points, I am willing to make this bet.”

【Host, the plot is set and won’t change. How could you agree to him?】

【Do you know you’re at a disadvantage!】

In the quiet corridor, the System screamed in Wen Rong’s brain.

“How is it impossible to change? I deviated from the plot, which is why I don’t have enough points.”

【……】

The System thought about it and found that seemed to be the logic. So it asked: 【What will you do?】

“I’m still thinking.”

【Still thinking now??】

【Why don’t you think about what to do if you lose first?】

“…”

【What if Lin Jinghang doesn’t keep his word?】

Wen Rong exercised his neck, tilting his head slightly as if the System were standing next to him talking. His expression was calm. “Brother, do you remember Lin Jinghang is looking for someone?”

【When we met last time, he did say there was such a person, but he doesn’t even remember what this person looks like.】

【You aren’t thinking of helping him find this person, are you?】

【Can’t find them, can’t find them. First, this person isn’t necessarily bound to a System. Second, there are so many worlds; he can’t find them with so many points, how could you find them?】

“What if I am the person he is looking for?”

【You?】

“I can pretend to be that person.”

【You want to pretend to be that person?!】

The System couldn’t believe it. Its own host would suggest pretending to be someone else’s beloved?

So bad!

So… clever?

“Lin Jinghang is a very unstable factor. Right now, it seems he is on Wang Sichen’s side, counting as my enemy. In the future, maybe he will use points to do many things bad for me. I can’t wait for him to act; I must strike first.”

【Host, this is very difficult. We completely don’t understand the person he’s looking for.】

“He doesn’t understand either… and he talks a lot. I’ll find a way to fish for information. I can always imitate a shadow.”

【Are you sure you really want to pretend to be that person?】

“Yes, I am very sure.”

“Lin Jinghang’s obsession with that person is deep; it should be a special, special object of affection. If I succeed in pretending, it will be helpful in the future.”

【What if he finds out?】

“Lin Jinghang is very arrogant. I have 80% confidence.”

The System thought about it. Although there were risks, overall the yield was extremely high. It then said: 【This is good too. If Host pretends to be that person, he definitely won’t bear to let you go do those things with Zhao Zeyang and Wang Sichen.】

“That’s for later. Now… let me think about how to make Shi Ye win.”

Wen Rong turned and walked into the nearby restroom, unbuttoning his shirt one by one, revealing a slender, fair neck.

Between light and shadow, his Adam’s apple rolled up and down.

Immediately, the handsome face in the mirror curved its lips in a smile. It wasn’t natural; the corners of the lips trembled.

He smiled again, no different from usual.

Then he blinked slowly, hooked his lips, and in that moment, his handsome features released a soul-capturing magic.

He spoke slowly and deliberately: “Mom gave me the most precious gift.”
