"Detection of suitable host. Detection of suitable host. The host is unconscious. Switching to automatic synchronization mode… Starting synchronization… Ding! System binding: 10%… 40%… 85%… 100%. Synchronization and binding complete. Congratulations Host! You have now become the 250th fate-reversal cannon fodder of erotic novels. I am System Navigator 484."
Zhou Min, who was unconscious on the ground, flung back her head. She seemed to hear a cheerful and excited voice buzzing noisily in her ears.
"2501! What the heck?!" Zhou Min sat up and supported her head with one hand. Her mind was still foggy. She clearly remembered walking on the street while holding the cake she ordered yesterday. "What hap-"
"AH!" She remembered. It was a car accident. She was on the way home with her cake when suddenly an Audi speed off at the corner and hit her. So, that was how she died?!
Zhou Min promptly checked if her body wasn"t fracture or missing a limb. Soon, she discovered that she was perfectly fine. Just when she started to question herself, she once again heard that noisy voice.
"h.e.l.lo! You are the new 250th host. I am System Navigator 484, an A.I. I…"
"250! You are 250. Your whole family is 250…"
When Zhou Min heard she was called 250, she was bursting in anger and the whole atmosphere smelt like gunpowder. However, as soon as she was done cursing, she became stupefied. "Where is it?"
She got up and prudently observed her surroundings. She felt even more at loss. She was. .h.i.t by a car. Even if by some miracle she survives, she should have been sent back to her home by a neighbor. Her house was on a small street, so it was impossible that the neighbors didn"t see the accident. Either that or the driver has a sudden burst of kindness and decides to bring her to the hospital. "But where the heck is it?"
"And whose voice was that? There is no one in this s.p.a.ce… Don"t tell me that… I am in h.e.l.l?!" So, she really died?!
Zhou Min let her imagination runs wild and almost got a nervous breakdown. Then, she recalled the voice from earlier. Perhaps, that person knows more than her. Thus, she cautiously asked, "Who are you? And where is this place?"
"250, you finally let me speak, but to ask me that kind of question… Oh yeah…"
When she heard what the voice said, blue veins popped on her forehead and she only want to strangle it. However, she restrained herself. It was better for her to endure while in a unfamiliar environment. She cannot acted blindly without thinking. Yet, to be cheerfully called 250… That thing better not let her find it, otherwise, she would teared it apart. This r.e.t.a.r.d made her too aggrieved.
It was with difficulty that Zhou Min squeezed out a smile. "So, where is this place? What happened to me? I am really dead?"
"According to my knowledge, you are dead, but… at the same time not truly dead…"
Zhou Min tightly clasped her head and tried hard to tell herself that this is the words of a r.e.t.a.r.d and she shouldn"t let herself be affected by it! "Don"t be angry. Endure it!"
She continued to force herself to smile while fuming in anger. "You might as well not say anything. Remove all the superfluous words and tell me the main point!"
Looking at the woman on the verge of erupting, 484 trembled. It immediately answered, "Your soul is bound to a transmigration system that allow you to cross to other worlds."
"What?!" Zhou Min felt as if she was listening to some kind of extraterrestrial language which makes her unable to comprehend and process the information. She felt that she was about to faint.
"Anyway, congratulations 250! You have officially join the strategic dating simulation game "Male Protagonist, you are so hateful~" You can now enjoy each story arc as much as you like." Zhou Min was still dumbstruck, thus she couldn"t react to the new shocking information. When she was able to process it, she became even more speechless. She gritted her teeth to the point the grinding sounds could be heard. Her teeth were really itching to bite someone!
Fortunately, that so-called dunce system 484 had no idea about her state of mind. It was still jubilant and continued to introduce to her the unfathomable mysteries of the system. "In every mission you are a.s.signed, the main big boss will be different. The strategy to level up his affection will also change. The first goal is to capture the big boss" "heart", and the second goal is to fulfill the cannon fodder"s wish in order to eliminate her grievances and restore the world"s peace."
"Male Protagonist… You are so hateful~~"
When Zhou Min heard that r.e.t.a.r.ded 484 speaks cutely with that odd-sounding voice, she couldn"t help having gooseb.u.mps. Then, she suddenly had a flash. She remembered she did stealthily downloaded a 18+ dating simulation game with realistic graphic… That"s just to gain in-depth knowledge of the interaction between a man and a woman. She was only curious and just wanted to take a look at it. She only took a small peek at it, really!
"Every time you successfully capture the male protagonist and fulfill the cannon fodder"s wish, you will receive the cannon fodder"s blessing. By acc.u.mulating the blessings, you will be able to obtain the chance to resurrect. Isn"t that exciting?! Aren"t you happy? Don"t you feel you obtain a good bargain? Aren"t you grateful to me since I am the one who found you?"
When she heard the r.e.t.a.r.ded system navigator happily taking credit, and calling her by that blasted name, Zhou Min only felt a burning surge of anger hard to repress. She had the urge to madly hit that invisible and annoying system navigator.
"In case of failure…"
"I am very persistent. It"s alright if you fail since the mother of success is failure. So, it"s not shameful to fail. There won"t be any punishment in case of failure. As long as you learn from your failure and groom yourself to be better, tackling any degenerated and brutal missions throw at you. Then, there is nothing to fear!"
This kind of tone that could only cheat the Little Red Riding Hood was too déjà vu. Although Zhou Min couldn"t see where that thing was, she could still determine the direction it was situated from where its voice sounded. Thus, she smiled in that direction. "Do you mind explaining to me what do you mean by "any degenerated and brutal mission"?!"
"250, you want to know? Do you really, really want to know? Do you absolutely have to know? Are you curious? Really, really curious about it? Are you dying from curiosity?" Once again, 484"s annoying voice was heard. Zhou Min"s veins popped on her forehead from anger. "I have to endure!"
1. 250 in chinese = idiot who courts death. There is a story behind it. In ancient time, there was an emperor who almost got a.s.sa.s.sinate. After investigation, he couldn’t find any clue that could lead back to his a.s.sa.s.sin, thus in spite, he announced that he will give 1000 gold to the brave hero who tried to kill him. So, four men came forward and said that they were the one. Since there were four people, the emperor asked them how to divide the 1000 gold. They said it should be split in 250. After that, the emperor decreed to cut them into 250 parts. The End~

"Yes, I am very curious~!" Although Zhou Min had a wide smile, the corner of her mouth was twitching as she spoke.
"I can"t tell you!" 484"s annoying voice once again notified her. It made her suddenly felt dumbstruck to the point she almost spat out blood from being infuriated.
She knew that going along with that r.e.t.a.r.ded system still didn"t bear any fruits. It took it sweet time to say what she already knows. What she want to know was the particularities of the game "Male Protagonist, you are so hateful~".
"Good! 250, prepare yourself to receive the mission!" 484 suddenly announced.
Zhou Min was momentarily rendered speechless. "When did I say that I want to accept the mission. I don"t want to receive it!" Regardless of her unwillingness, Zhou Min felt that system-thing was quite queer, especially that r.e.t.a.r.ded and lack of common sense navigator, and that "250" ID name. Her mind was tired as she remembered the feeling of falling into a trap!
"250, if you don"t accept the mission, you will immediately die. Do you still want to refuse?"
Zhou Min stayed silent. Her heart felt stifled. She wanted to live. She recalled her parents and then, that disgusting man who was fooling around with her best friend behind her back. She was very unwilling to let it go!
"After your resurrection, the system can give you a golden finger. That golden finger is an ability that allow you to instkill any green tea b.i.t.c.hes and cheating males!"
"I accept the mission! Tell me what I should do!" Zhou Min was lured by the final reward mentioned by the unreliable system navigator. She started to feel she was like the protagonist in "A Journey through Deceptions."
"Alright! Let"s take a look at your status first."
"Status?" While Zhou Min was confused by the term, a Ding! was echoed within the empty s.p.a.ce, and the next moment, a fluorescent screen appeared in midair. Zhou Min looked at it and saw something written on it and her expression darkened.
Status Screen
Gender: Female
ID: 250
Name: Zhou Min
Age: 23
Intelligence: 39/100
Appearance: 50/100
Strength: 22/100
Softness: 75/100
Charisma: 10/100
Skills: None
Special Skills: None
"What the heck is "softness"?" As for the other attributes, it wasn"t difficult to understand their role. However, she had no idea what "softness" meant… Suddenly, the meaning dawned on her!
"Hey… Cough! Cough! You will understand that in the future. After looking at your stats, I think they are quite appalling. I am incredibly surprise. Oh my G.o.d! How did you live safely until the age of 23 with those kind of stats?!" 484 exclaimed with exaggeration.
Zhou Min blushed in shame. "Anyway, we have been talking for a while now, but can you tell me where we are?"
"I am the system and the system is me. After you level up and can provide me with enough energy, I"ll be able to take form."
"You can be upgraded?!"
"Now, I know why your IQ only has only 39 points. You should pay more attention on how to level it up."
When 484"s somewhat belittling voice echoed, Zhou Min felt she was being treated like a child. Without letting Zhou Min the time to argue back, 484 continued in a proud voice. "250, I found a story that is very suitable for you right now. Let"s start downloading it right away! Considering your worrying IQ, I, this great system, has decided to give you a treasure that I have keep in store. This will be your newbie package which will help you to accomplish your first mission!"
A sudden wave of dizziness. .h.i.t Zhou Min. Before she have the time to react, she felt a strong suction pulling her into somewhere. She was still stunned when 484"s voice was heard in her head. "Downloading the storyline!"
She felt a sharp pain from her brain and numerous images flit through her mind. The storyline is a typical avenger story where the protagonist used her own body to pave her way to a brighter future.
The protagonist, or so to say, the female lead, looked like the so-called white lotus, an innocent appearance that could aroused people"s pity when gaze upon. When she is dressed, her figure appeared slender. However, she had all the right curves underneath. Her skin was glossy and smooth to the touch, and her skills in bed were superb. Her mouth would always says no and she would constantly play tug-o-war with all the powerful and wealthy males in the empire, but in the end, she enjoyed the pleasure of bed sports as much as a succubus. It would be an eternal process of "you force me and I force you" and "I am aggrieved because you force me." In other words, this is the proper behavior of a green tea b.i.t.c.h. Next, the female lead would used all the supporting males" influence to quickly and ruthlessly get rid of the female antagonist and reach the position of the male lead"s companion. Following that, she would used her mastered "in-depth talk on bed" skills to grab more than just the heart of the male lead, and successfully conquered him. Her skills made the male lead so satisfied and completely drained that he had no other thoughts with other female characters. Do take note that the female lead continued to be pampered by the male side characters. Finally, she became Mist empire"s first empress. So, this was the story of a female protagonist who successfully took revenge and became an empress.
From a reader"s point of view, this kind of straightforward plotline with s.m.u.t everywhere and harem ending is very blunt, but it can be very enjoyable to read! However, that was only under the premise that she wasn"t the actual story"s unlucky female antagonist. Everybody was all rejoicing with a happy ending, yet her ending left her unhappy. (￣へ￣)
The male lead was the emperor of the previous dynasty. To make a long story short, when he was small, he lacked care; when he grew up, he lacked love. Therefore, he was raised to thread on the path of a ruthless tyrant who held the ideology of supremacy. He was someone who completely adhered to the "no-nonsense" talk.
As for Zhou Min, she was very low-key and unpopular cannon fodder. She barely appeared and died as a stepping stone, acting as the catalyst for the female to get acquainted with the male lead since she was the only link that would allow the two of them to meet. In fact, she was the male lead"s blood-related little sister and also, the Mist empire"s dispensable princess!
Her client"s wishes were to protect her blood-related big brother and prevent her brother from falling in love with the vengeful female lead which would cause the downfall of the empire.
Zhou Min burst into tears. "This idiotic girl! She was clearly the punching bag of everyone in the harem, and even her own brother despised her for no reason at all." In the end, her soul surprisingly obtained a way to let her fulfill her wish, but what she wished for wasn"t for herself. "Truly an idiot that made people feel distressed for her!"
"Quick, quick, quick! The male lead is in danger. Move, move, move! Hurry! Go and s.n.a.t.c.h him! Hurry! A reminder for the tasker, if the task fails, it will be immediate disposal~!" Zhou Min didn"t get to curse at 484 when she heard its warning. She was immediately rendered speechless. "Why didn"t you that before? You"re playing around with me!"

Since Zhou Ming already accepted the mission, she had no other choice but to follow 484"s instructions. She proceeded forward quickly while following the GPS that was given to her by the intelligent navigator. Of course, "intelligent navigator" was a self-bestowed t.i.tle that 484 gave to itself. According to Zhou Min, that thing was simply an idiotic dopey navigator.
"Hey! Mission undertaker, please accepted the newbie package sends by the system~" Zhou Min, who was doing her best to hold up her long robe while running along the GPS"s route to her target, received the system"s message and started to dispute with 484.
"Newbie package?! What great thing are you sending me? I hope this isn"t another trap?!"
"Of course not! How can you say that? I saw that your starting stats are too appalling and couldn"t bear it. That"s why I decide to grant you something good. I am a very fair, reasonable and humane navigator. I am very good compared to the others. If you don"t want it, then I will take it back. I am still reluctant to give it to you." 484 wasn"t happy and spoke somewhat arrogantly. "She really doesn"t recognize goodwill!"
"Stop, stop, stop! I was wrong! I want it. How can I refuse anything given by you? If I refuse, will that be me who can"t tell good from bad? So, please give it to me~!" Zhou Min felt helpless. However, for the success of the mission, she couldn"t help but look forward to the newbie package. Besides, she felt that her basic status stats were not right. It made her seemed useless, but she was a true gold-collar worker! How could her stats be so low?!
"How unscientific!"
Ding! d=====(￣▽￣*)b
[Newbie package received by mission tasker.]
[Obtained Natural Body Fragrance – Happiness is Honey Peach (random selection): This fragrance gives the people the feeling of first love when smell. The scent becomes more concentrated with the elevation of the body temperature. During o.r.g.a.s.m, the charm effect can be triggered.
Fragrance selected: Poppy perfume]
[Obtained one of the Great Tools – The Jade Whirpool of the Phoenix Breath: The tasker"s genitalia gained the ability to give their target the best suction sensation during insertion. Stun effect can be triggered. The pleasure is so great that it can directly send the target to the seventh heaven.]
[Obtained Heightened Sensitivity: The body sensitivity has multiply by 100. A simple touch can caused the tasker to get wet.]
"Since the host can"t choose the type of body fragrance, I have choose for you the poppy perfume."
Zhou Min was dumbstruck. "T-this is the newbie package?! Are you f.u.c.king with me? I mean are you joking with me?! 484, come here for me! Y-you have to give me an explanation. T-this kind of ridiculous things…" What does having a low IQ and completing the a.s.signed mission had to do with those things in the newbie package?!
"Detecting the male lead inside this room. The scheming female lead is approaching the place. Quick, take away the male lead, or you will fail this mission!" 484 urgently warned her. Zhou Min, who was holding up the hem of her clothes whilst madly das.h.i.+ng through the harem, stopped. She looked around. "s.h.i.+t, this a remote palace hall with no sign of human presence." The weeds were growing freely and the ground was covered in dead leaves. It appeared that this place has long been forgotten. Even the crimson door frame was shedding from its once gorgeous paint. "d.a.m.n! Are you telling me that the emperor is in here?!"
"Are you bullying me because I"m new and not used to this task? Why would the mighty emperor leave his luxurious quarters and come to this decrepit place?!"
It seemed as if 484 knew what Zhou Min was thinking, so it acted cute. "Hey, 250, let"s go in first because that wanton female lead is coming soon~!"
"Right, that"s the main priority…"
Zhou Min remembered her priorities, thus she stopped her nonsense. She had to block the female lead which is the cannon fodder"s wish. She also had to protect her big brother and this empire. She couldn"t allow this scheming and s.l.u.tty female lead prevailed!
It was the first time Zhou Min wore palace clothes. This kind of fluttering and fairy-like clothes were rather difficult to move around due to the length of it which made her quite depressed giving the urgency of the situation.
She pushed open the door and discovered that the inside of the room was very clean. There was even a refined scent of special incense in the air. Moonlight sprinkled into the room, giving the place a sense of elegance and aloofness. It seemed that the owner of this place had very good taste.
As Zhou Min swayed her waist while walking into the room, a tall figure suddenly came behind her. He embraced her from behind, then he pushed her around before sandwiching her face against the ice-cold wall and back to a boiling body.
Zhou Min"s first reaction was to try to flee, but unfortunately the hot breath tickling her skin from behind had turned her legs into jelly.
"484, something is wrong…" Zhou Min felt that the man holding her was the cause of her sudden weakness, not to mention that something was continuously leaking from her lower body. Before her dead, Zhou Min was still an ignorant virgin thus she never such sensation before which made her vulnerable to the current situation.
"Something is wrong? Nothing is wrong. It must be the "heightened sensitivity" that you obtained earlier. This will help you get into the mood quickly. It will help you a lot to complete the mission. Anyway, you can do your mission at ease. I will not peep…" 484 laughed pervertedly while speaking with no care. However, when Zhou Min heard its explanations, she was scared witless!
