Novice Volume: F-Cla.s.s Modern
【Ding! The plot and the original owner"s memories have been transferred. Host, please receive it!】
Ye JunGe opened his eyes and rubbed his temples to relieve the swelling in his brain. Fortunately, his soul power was strong. Otherwise, such a large amount of information entering his brain would have certainly given him a splitting headache.
This first world was a novel about net dubbing.
Ye Junge looked at the ancient technological civilization within the original owner"s memories and felt somewhat uncomfortable. Letting him who enjoyed the future of technology to fall into this kind of primitive world (…), it was truly too hard for him.
【Host, please do not ridicule this world"s environment. This is just an F Cla.s.s world. Thank you very much for your cooperation!】
Ye JunGe narrowed his eyes dangerously. This system of unknown origin seems to know what he was thinking. It was really unpleasant, ah.
【QAQ No matter! I will not read it! I messed up! Jun Jun, don"t get angry!】
To lazy to respond to the stupid system, Ye JunGe closed his eyes to sort out his memories.
The shou1 protagonist of this story was Lin You, a relatively idle university student. Lin You"s roommate, Sun Xi, was a well known screenwriter within the net dubbing circle. Because Lin You had a soft and cute voice, Sun Xi thought it was a perfect match for the leading role in the radio drama that he was producing. Since Lin You was free, Sun Xi tried very hard to persuade Lin You into helping with the drama. Unable to refuse his roommate, Lin You had no choice but to agree and the result was as deep as the sea for from then on, he fell in love with the net dubbing circle.
The shou was Lin You, a first timer playing a leading role in a radio drama, and the male lead gong2 was Dongfang Yuan. Dongfang Yuan was a voice enthusiast who also like small cute things and Lin You"s voice just so happened to poke at his moe points. It reminded him of a tiny domesticated white cat and that subconsciously made him pay more attention to Lin You. With more and more attention, those feelings slowly started to change and very naturally, those initial admiration and fondness he had from the beginning slowly became that of obsession. On their first time meeting offline, they coincidentally found out that they lived in the same city. After the two returned home, they could not stop thinking of each other and eventually, they became lovers. Of course, the fact that these two people could even come together was all thanks to the amazing Sun Xi who relentlessly acted as the middleman for the gong.
After going through countless difficulties together, the story ends with Lin You and Dongfang Yuan obtaining the blessing of everyone within the net dubbing circle.
The character Ye JunGe was playing was also called ‘Ye JunGe," and he was Dongfang Yuan"s childhood friend as well as his heart"s white moonlight3. He was the object of Dongfang Yuan"s first unrequited love, his secret crush. Unfortunately, believing that he was not worthy of the other person, he never dared to confess his feelings.
Dongfang Yuan was very fond of net dubbing, and in order to keep in contact with his sweetheart, he encouraged ‘Ye JunGe" to join the net dubbing circle. However, he did not know that ‘Ye JunGe" had long been in the net dubbing circle ever since he graduated junior high and had only just retired from the circle after graduating from college. For a long time, the community had even bestowed him the t.i.tle of Great G.o.d.
However, in order to not disappoint his childhood friend, ‘Ye JunGe" created a screen name and re-entered the net dubbing circle. Fortunately, his voice could be changed, making it unlikely for anyone to find out that the screen name ‘JunGe YiQu"4 was actually the Great G.o.d who retired, ‘JunYe."5
‘Ye JunGe" vaguely knew of Dongfang Yuan"s feelings, but pretended to be ignorant of it. Only after Dongfang Yuan and Lin You got together did ‘Ye JunGe" discovered his own feelings. Becoming jealous, he began to constantly court disaster with Lin You. Ultimately, he was reduced to a cannon fodder after his true colors were discovered by Dongfang Yuan.
‘Ye JunGe," having lost his chance at love and facing his love"s painful words of disappointment, became disheartened and went aboard, never returning. ‘Ye JunGe"s" older brother who had a brother complex6, unable to stand by and idly watch, tried to pressure Dongfang Yuan"s company with many problems but ended up facing bankruptcy himself and had to give up the domestic market to concentrate on oversea developments.
From Ye Jun Ge"s view, this white moonlight was really stupid. Compared with other white moonlights in these type of melodramas, there obviously exist many advantages. To not use them and insist on courting disaster to whittle away what little affections the male lead had for them, they deserved to become a cannon fodder and eliminated. Also, with how the original owner had used his skills in courting disaster, its obvious that this white moonlight"s brains had been dump off in another galaxy. His methods were so clumsy and attracted hatred. Looking at his person, he couldn"t help but worry for him.
004 saw that he had finished receiving the memories. Completely unaware of Ye Jun Ge"s dangerous aura, it was immediately excited and uttered loudly: 【How is it, Jun Jun, is this novice world that I selected simple or not? Big golden finger7, ah! I also intentionally let you play the role of someone with the same name and face as you. Makes the role easier for you to get accustomed to, ah!]
Ye Jun Ge was very unhappy with this r.e.t.a.r.ded plot. Frowning, he lightly glanced at the round bouncing ball of light at his side and decided to make himself happy with the pain of others: “Really, can"t you just disappear? You"re pestering is becoming quite an eyesore.”
【… Goodbye!】 004"s gla.s.s heart shattered and it silently turned invisible.
004 had not been exaggerating. The original owner"s golden finger was indeed very powerful. Even if he didn"t need the golden finger to complete the counterattack to distort this world, having a golden finger was still very convenient.
The original owner"s biggest golden finger was obviously his retired ident.i.ty as the CV8 G.o.d. In the original plot, ‘Ye JunGe" did not properly make use of this ident.i.ty and incessantly courted disaster. As a result, he ruined himself all on his own.
Actually, that was not the only golden finger of the original owner. ‘Ye JunGe," unaware of any shortcomings, had many personas as he was very well known in the net dubbing and cla.s.sical music circle. ‘Ye JunGe," in the net distribution circle of film dubbing, he was either the producer, the director or art designer, creating publicity by designing promotional poster. In the cla.s.sical music circle, he was composing lyrics and musics, as well as making performance arrangements. Overall, he was omnipotent. Moreover, in every field, he had a G.o.dly ident.i.ty. For example, as the CV G.o.d, ‘JunYe," and another as the great G.o.d of singing, ‘Ge Jin Mo Xiao."9 Seeing all of the original owner"s personas, even 004 felt terrible.
With such a blessed by the heaven ident.i.ty, that the original could play and eliminate his own self, it was obvious that his ending was not an ordinary ending.
In the original work, ‘Ye JunGe" secretly hinted that Lin You was only able to debut by holding onto Dongfang Yuan"s thighs. To allow himself and Dongfang Yuan be a CP10, he had accused Lin You of trying to break apart other people"s CP and in the subsequent fight with Lin You for the role that resulted in him losing, he secretly added fuel to the flames when people started questioning how Lin You was able to get the role.
After seeing that Lin You"s potential"s could not be suppressed, he used his ‘Jun Ye" ident.i.ty to have popular directors boycott Lin You, making him unable to receive any roles, and even if he could receive any, he was to be immediately rejected. When this matter was revealed, his Jun Ye"s reputation immediately became notorious. The original owner did not repent however, but continued to use this stupid method in courting disaster and issue a statement to expressed his support for ‘Jun Ye," and just went on worrying about Lin You. What a pity that this approach not only did not hurt Lin You, but it was found out by Dongfang Yuan"s technical staffs that the IP address of the two Great G.o.ds were actually one and the same. Fans, feeling as if they had been deceived, began to support Lin You. However, the two times defeated ‘Ye JunGe" still did not give up. He asked his older brother to pressure Lin You"s school in an attempt to expel him. Unfortunate that Dongfang Yuan promptly held on to Lin You, causing ‘Ye JunGe" plans to fail once again. In the end, even the Ye Family"s company was annexed by Dongfang Yuan.
On to another matter, ‘Ye JunGe" was actually not the biological brother of Ye Jun Jing. There was a section on the history between the two but the whole story is not known.
004 had not looked at the entire story when choosing the script, only knowing that this role would have no problem in making a comeback. The results were carefully studied this time and can almost bring ‘Ye JunGe"s" G.o.d-like courting disaster abilities to it"s knees…
Ye Jun Ge had come at a fairly good point in time. It was currently just after the original owner had competed with Lin You for the role and lost. This lost had almost caused the original owner"s reason to collapse, especially after Lin You"s name was blacken and Dongfang Yuan had immediately issued a blog praising Lin You. Even the director and producer for the role stated that they appreciated Lin You and to have this someone (original owner) fans stop what they were doing before going too far.
The direction of public opinions on the internet changed, from blackening Lin You to blackening the original owner. The original owner was greatly stimulated from this and he began to do even more stupid things.
Now that the owner of body was Ye JunGe, he will not be as stupid as the original owner.
【So Jun Jun, what are you going to do?】 The lonely and eager for abuse 004 reappeared.
Ye Jun Ge softly snorted: “First, I am going to eat.”
Ye Jun Ge will only make a simple dish. In the interstellar future, there existed domestic housekeeping robots to do such things, but these robots could only prepare food according to recipes. The flavors were not much and they were not any better either. How can Ye JunGe, who is committed to enjoyment, endure it? Also, he was picky and reluctant to eat the food made by others so he could only learn how to cook for himself. Fortunately, his strength had already reached the stage where he no longer needed to eat and would only occasionally be in the mood for feasting when he felt like treating himself. But now this body was that of an ordinary person and not eating was no good.
The original owner was currently living in an apartment he had bought and his temperament was seemingly mild and somewhat withdrawn. The original owner"s father was the last boss of the Ye Company with Ye JunGe"s older brother, Ye JunJing, taking over the company after his death. This older brother was the son of Ye Father"s original wife. After the death of the original wife, Ye Father married the present wife, the mother of the original owner. The process in which Ye JunJing took over the company was not smooth. The group of people on the board of directors relied on their own seniority to not speak out and the original owner"s mother, not wanting to see her own son getting nothing, joined with her maternal family to try and kill Ye JunJing, who they eventually shot and almost killed. Ye JunJing was not as kindhearted as his father and after tending to his wounds, he resolutely sent the original owner"s mother to prison. The original owner, as a result, broke off all ties with the older brother.
However, from what could be seen from the original owner"s memories, this step brother was actually a brocon. Even when the original owner"s mother treated him badly, Ye JunJing still protected the original owner. Otherwise, he would not have subst.i.tuted the original owner in venting his anger out on Dongfang Yuan in a fight to the death that cause even the entire Ye Family to be taken in. At the end of the original story, Ye JunJing, powerless at reversing the situation and without any better options, also went aboard to find his younger brother. To help his younger brother live well, he ventured into entrepreneurship and that business later developed very well.
After he finished eating, Ye JunGe opened his computer to see how things were developing online. Sure enough, he saw remarks that were condemning ‘JunGe YiQu," the original owner"s screen name. Nowadays, fan would do anything to pay for their idol, even joining the same net dubbing circle. Whichever fans can make something out of nothing, they will definitely be cursed.
Opening Dongfang Yuan"s weibo11, as expected, he saw the statement supporting Lin You.
Lin You"s net name was ‘Ci Xin WuYou"12 and Ye JunGe randomly scrolled down to see a reply made below by Ci Xin WuYou, asking everyone to let go of this matter and believed that what JunGe YiQu said was not meant for him.
Ye JunGe sneered at the provocative words that they think others do not see. If they sincerely wanted to urge others into doing things, why not make a post on their own weibo? Message written under other people"s blogs are quickly brushed over and few people would actually be able to see it.
Bored, he switch out of the web page to open QQ13. Immediately, he heard many pinging sounds. The original owner, though withdrawn, did have a few friends and one after another, they sent words to comfort him. Ye JunGe casually glanced at them and did not reply, only directly closed them. Only Dongfang Yuan"s messages continued to incessantly ring.
Annoyed, Ye Jun Ge forced himself to open it and see what he wanted.
Dongfang Yuan: JunGe, you there?
Dongfang Yuan: JunGe, you get online and answer me
Dongfang Yuan: JunGe, why are you still not on, ah
Dongfang Yuan: JunGe…
Dongfang Yuan: JunGe, you"re on!
JunGe YiQu: … well
JunGe YiQu: What"s the matter?
Dongfang Yuan: Can"t you send out a blog to clarify this matter? You clearly know that Little You did not get the role by cheating.
Ye JunGe really did not want to deal with this tool. Right now, Dongfang Yuan should still be in love with this white moonlight. Yet, he also had goodwill towards Lin You. To not know how to correct this tangled knot under such good conditions, really make a person feel very annoyed.
JunGe YiQu: Do you really need me to send out a blog? Everyone already believes that he got the role with his own strength.
Dongfang Yuan quickly replied: Although that is the case, some people still don"t believe. You"re fans are really unreasonable and refuse to believe. So long as you explain it then it will be good.
Ye Jun Ge wanted to angrily laugh. Your white moonlight has now become blacken like this and yet you don"t seem anxious. This new flame has already change you, rushing you off to be burned. He was beginning to doubt now if this tool genuinely liked the original owner or not.
JunGe YiQu: Okay I got it.
Dongfang Yuan, facing the four characters plus one punctuation mark on the computer, was overcome by a slight feeling of guilt and even felt that his childhood friend seem to be angry. But why was he angry?
Dongfang Yuan did not feel that his demands were excessive. Right now, because all he could hear were Lin You"s grievances echoing in his head, the online words blackening Ye JunGe could not get through to him. He was not even aware that the Great G.o.d was the blacken Ye JunGe, thinking that Ye JunGe was just someone who had only join the net dubbing circle along with him for no more than a year. This small wind and small wave had no importance, therefore, he had long stop caring. However, Lin You was not like them as he has only just recently joined the net dubbing circle.
Originally, Ye JunGe did not plan on doing anything but against this att.i.tude of Dongfang Yuan, he decided that he could not let this person off.
Ye JunGe was a very overbearing person and whoever dares to make him unhappy, he will make that person tenfold to a hundredfold more unhappy.
004, sensing the air around the host lowering, it"s voice shook: 【Jun Jun, you must not get angry. This kind of guy is not worthy for you to take seriously!】
Ye Jun Ge smiled softly: “Oh, how can I take him seriously? No more than a foolish mortal.” The sound of his voice was silky and smooth, like being held at the tip of the tongue, making people feel numb upon hearing.
What a pity that 004 had to hear the danger in his voice and it shook even more severely. It was done for! This crazy person was angry!
Ye JunGe tenderly stroked Dongfang Yuan"s picture on the computer screen and faintly spoke: “But I"m still very unhappy. Therefore, it"s a must that I make him unhappier than me.” Retracting his hand, he cleanly exited out the dialogue box, the light clicking sound of the mouse sounding strange and unique.
