I made a mistake as soon as I transmigrated, what? Am I a temporary worker meant to take the blame?

Young Master Fei called a bodyguard to come to the front and drive because he was worried he would get into another car accident.

One of Young Master Fei's tropes was that he loved driving his own sports car, which resulted in him not hiring a single proper driver.

Silently muttering a complaint in his heart, Young Master Fei got into the car and immediately checked the system's previous introduction; he needed to figure out the current situation.

After listening to the system's introduction.

According to the system, this world was the novel world of The Dragon King's Arrival in Nancheng, but it was incomplete.

As long as he could successfully play the villain role of "Fei Yangyao" here, finish the character's related plotlines, and repair the world's Heavenly Dao, he could return to the real world.

Not only that, but he would also have three wishes granted.

When the time came, sitting in a huge mansion and marrying a wealthy beauty—wouldn't that be wonderful?

Although Fei Yangyao was already a scion of a prominent family in this novel world, living a life of wealth.

All of this was merely a stepping stone for Ye Chen, and sooner or later, it would all vanish.

As for trying to reverse the plot?

Leaving aside the fact that blindly altering the plot might result in him being obliterated by the system—the risk was simply too high.

The system's introduction stated that the Heavenly Dao was greater than everything.

Deducing from that, Ye Chen must be the wielder of the Heavenly Dao.

This was certainly not something a minor villain could stand against.

Besides, this system was called the "Heavenly Dao Repair System"; how could anyone go against the system?

And by letting nature take its course, completing the mission, and returning to the real world, he could even wake his grandmother up...

Back then, his grandmother had still hoped to hold a chubby grandson or granddaughter...

If he wanted children, he first needed a girlfriend, and a girlfriend...

"Hey, system though, even if it's a novel world, I don't want to wear any colored hats. What happened to this female lead later on..."

[Rest assured, Host, that kind of thing the Heavenly Dao dislikes will not happen. It'll definitely leave you satisfied, me satisfied, and the Heavenly Dao satisfied either. No green hats will ever be given to the Host.]

"Good, good, good!" Hearing the system's promise, Fei Yangyao felt at ease. When he had read the novel back then, it hadn't explicitly stated anything, and Fei Yangyao had even wondered if the author hadn't written it for some reason. It seemed it wasn't that it wasn't written, but rather that there wasn't any!

His grandmother had become a vegetative state back then purely because she was overwhelmed with anger and anxiety over her younger brother getting cuckolded.

Even though such a situation was extremely rare to begin with, he couldn't afford to do such a thing either.

According to the timeline in the book, it shouldn't be long, and his grandmother's hospitalization fees over there were still paid for another year or so, which should be sufficient.

With no worries left behind, all he needed to do when the time came was to bring himself back.

Acting was just acting—he would do it!

However, why did the voice of this system sound a little bit familiar?

Forget it, if he couldn't remember, he wouldn't think about it. When the time came to go back...

Just as Fei Yangyao began planning the three wishes given by the system, looking forward to the carefree life of returning to reality...

"Young Master, your flowers don't seem to have been delivered to Miss Gu yet..." Seeing that the Young Master was about to head straight home as if he had forgotten something, Butler Uncle Fu hurriedly reminded him.

"Miss Gu?"

I didn't forget, I simply have no idea what time point this is!

As soon as he crossed over, he ran into an emergency.

Where would he have the energy to care about any Gu Xiyue!

At the same time, the system's voice rang out in his mind.

[Chapter 8: The Simp Villain Fei Yangyao Makes His Debut, Ice Queen CEO Gu Xiyue Fakes a Public Relationship]
[Characters: Fei Yangyao, Gu Xiyue, Ye Chen]
[Plot Completion: 10%]
[Plot Rating: G-grade]
[Warning! Please reasonably play your role, Host, and complete the related plot to a passing value; otherwise, severe plot collapse may occur, and the Host may fail to obtain rewards!]

"What?"

10%?

Where?

I just got here.

Nobody told me.

How am I supposed to know what the plot is?

Does this rating mean I'm going to kick the bucket right as I make my debut?

Coming back to his senses, Fei Yangyao took a serious look and finally noticed that the corner right here was the main entrance of the Gu Corporation, and behind him was a delivery truck loaded with 520 Gold-inlaid Supreme Roses. He instantly recalled the plot corresponding to Chapter 8 at the beginning of the book.

Please watch the VCR (exhausted foster fathers can directly scroll down two or three pages to read the abridged version):

Today was originally the birthday of the female lead, Gu Xiyue. Because of this, Fei Yangyao had ordered 520 gold-inlaid Supreme Roses, intending to formally confess his love in front of the Gu Corporation's main gates.

Waiting bitterly until evening, Fei Yangyao saw Gu Xiyue coming out, flanked by several security guards as usual to ward off his harassment.

Naturally, Dragon Protagonist Ye Chen was inevitably among them.

Seeing Fei Yangyao waiting at the entrance alongside that cart of fiery red roses, Gu Xiyue's already cold expression turned even frostier.

Driven past the point of endurance by the harassment, Gu Xiyue randomly pointed at the security guard behind her—yes, who else could it be but Ye Chen—and declared to Fei Yangyao that she already had a boyfriend and that he should stop harassing her.

How could Fei Yangyao possibly stomach this indignity? He immediately told his bodyguards to teach Ye Chen a lesson so that he would know to back off and stop meddling in this business.

Unfortunately, the version of him in the book would never have imagined that this minor bodyguard, Ye Chen, was actually none of other than the esteemed young master of the Dragon King Palace, the most dazzling genius of the Dragon King Palace, the copyright owner of the Nike smile, and—most crucially—the protagonist who loved to slap faces and act cool in the novel!

As for Ye Chen's purpose in coming to South City this time, it was to integrate the entire business community of South City and lay the groundwork for the Dragon King Palace to rule the entire Southern Kingdom. His very first target was the Gu Corporation, the weakest among the Four Great Families!

Naturally, as the Dragon King, the Gu Corporation's current beautiful CEO Gu Xiyue was already his private possession; the only reason he was working as a lowly security guard at the Gu Corporation was precisely because of her.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have condescended to stay here.

As the Dragon King, Ye Chen cultivated the Thousand Yang Divine Art. This cultivation technique had extremely stringent requirements and required maintaining virginity before reaching the Great Completion of Martial Ancestor.

Otherwise, the best-case scenario would be a severe regression in his cultivation and falling into a slump, while the worst-case scenario would be a cultivation collapse, deviation into demonic obsession, and ultimately death.

After reaching the Great Completion of Martial Ancestor, if he had the harmonization of extreme yin, he could then advance to study the Ten Thousand Yang Divine Art. However, the author hadn't written this part yet, and Fei Yangyao himself wasn't entirely clear on the specific details.

Right now, Ye Chen's strength was just starting out, but he already possessed strength roughly equivalent to the heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson!

Thus, facing over a dozen bodyguards, Ye Chen took them down one by one with a single punch, dispatching pairs with two punches. Seizing the opportunity, he didn't stop, directly closing in to break Fei Yangyao's legs and temporarily sending him offline.

Abridged version: He pursues, she is annoyed; he pursues, she is annoyed. Seeing no escape, she waves her hand, pretending Ye Chen is her gorgeous match. He steps up to confront him, and Ye Chen easily K.O.s him. He has no choice but to retreat, retreat, retreat; he sleeps in the hospital, and they'll meet again another day.

As a result, Fei Yangyao, who had transmigrated over, was still busy adapting to the new situation and completely missed this plot!

Because the car had collided with someone, it stopped around the corner, sitting firmly in the blind spot of vision!

Gu Xiyue looked left and right, failed to spot him, and walked away in the opposite direction!

He had done all the preliminary preparations; the actors and props were all in place, but the play was never performed!

Glancing at the time, given how late it was, Gu Xiyue was probably already eight tenths of the way home.

Today's performance was simply impossible to salvage.

Yet... could this really be blamed on him?

"System, this isn't right. This 10% has nothing to do with me. Can I take a make-up exam?"

Having sorted out the current situation, Fei Yangyao attempted to file feedback.

[Already occurred plots cannot be reshaped]

Faced with a formulaic response resembling that of some customer service bot, Fei Yangyao suddenly felt as though he had been shrouded in a dark canopy.

In a trance, he even felt like the system was laughing!

It must be; someone must have deliberately plotted against this young master!

"No, what kind of company are you guys from? There's a bug here. The time point I arrived at was all wrong—how could this plot possibly be completed?" Fei Yangyao still argued his case strenuously, as he genuinely had the right on his side. "Even if the Jade Emperor himself came down here, he couldn't pass!"

"Could it be that I'm just a temp worker you guys recruited?"

Young Master Fei was extremely suspicious.

He felt that this possibility couldn't be ruled out.

In his previous life, "rumors must be investigated, and temps are to blame for accidents" was a common PR tactic. Surely the system wouldn't use tricks like that?

[Feedback accepted]

[Detecting...]

[Detected that plot issues occurred due to unknown reasons]

[The system's compensation will be dispatched within seven days]

[Now sending the "Plot Compensation Mission"]

"Phew, not bad. It replies the moment feedback is submitted. A system that acknowledges its mistakes and is willing to correct them is truly commendable!"

"By the way, what kind of mission is this plot compensation mission?" Let's ask what the mission actually was first.

[This mission is to repair the plot collapse caused by unknown reasons. The Host can complete this mission by doing "things beneficial to repairing this world," thereby making up for the previous plot completion rate]

"Things beneficial to repairing the world? No, isn't this way too abstract? Is a system like yours really this full of positive energy?"

"Do good deeds count? Does contributing to society count?"

"Or should I stir up some other plot to make Gu Xiyue and Ye Chen fake a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?"

[Please ponder this on your own; the system's evaluation will comprehensively factor it in]

"What kind of system are you anyway, without even a single instruction manual? I want to give a bad review!"

[Please ponder this on your own; the system's evaluation will comprehensively factor it in]

"...Fine, whatever. I'll take it one step at a time." Seeing that the system's tone would not soften, Fei Yangyao had no choice but to rely on his own pair of observant eyes to explore things later on.

[Phew~] (whispered)

"Wait, did I mishear? Did you just look like you let out a sigh of relief? You aren't just fobbing me off, are you?"

He grew suspicious.

If not for the fact that the system lacked any gender-coded mechanical traits, Fei Yangyao could almost picture a girl on the other end blushing and puffing as she fan-cooled herself.

After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply—most likely having gone invisible and fled—Fei Yangyao had no choice but to exit the system.

"Let's just go home first."

According to the original plot, Gu Xiyue should already be home by now, and it was impossible to chase after her to her home to complete the "fake boyfriend and girlfriend" plotline anyway.

Aside from anything else, even the male protagonist Ye Chen wasn't there. How could one act without a male lead? It was impossible!

Go to the hospital?

He wasn't even injured. Why go to the hospital when he was perfectly fine? Acting didn't work like that. If he went, he'd genuinely be sick—not sent to the hospital, but hauled off to the Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital as a mental patient!

"And the flowers?" Uncle Fu asked.

"Flowers? Throw them away just like before," Fei Yangyao muttered offhandedly without even thinking.

Although it felt a bit painful to waste so many flowers, upholding the spirit of dedication meant Fei Yangyao still had to follow the persona of a wasteful, profligate young master. The book didn't write about this, but presumably, it went something like this.

Tired out from a long day, Fei Yangyao planned to return to the large villa, dismiss A Jiu, and get some rest, all while pondering how to nail this roleplay.

As for how to dismiss her, he already had a plan, but this role-playing business was still giving him a headache.

Even though he had joined a performance club in high school back in his past life, Fei Yangyao had always been a wallflower and hadn't participated very many times. With his inflated self-assessment, how could he possibly know that the other club members had unanimously agreed he possessed zero talent?

Young Master Fei was extremely unpracticed at playing a profligate scion.

This was going to be a huge challenge!

However...

Fei Yangyao was full of confidence in himself.

Besides, weren't there loopholes he could exploit?

Because the perspective of the original book followed the protagonist Ye Chen, the villain Fei Yangyao only received ink when he made his debut; what he usually did and where he was basically never introduced, so slightly deviating during his usual routines and making minor mistakes shouldn't be a problem.

As long as Fei Yangyao maintained his profligate reputation outside, he lived all by himself in the family villa, and everyone else around him consisted of trusted insiders without much plot relevance, so he didn't need to keep up a facade the whole time.

"Wait, don't throw them away just yet..."

It was too wasteful to throw them away; let's see what else could be done.

Fei Yangyao picked up his phone and searched Qixun to see if there were any ways to repurpose these Supreme Roses.

[Temporary Mission: Donate 520 Supreme Roses to the South City Nursing Home]
[Mission Synopsis: Donate 520 Supreme Roses to the South City Nursing Home]
[Mission Requirements: Donate 520 Supreme Roses to the South City Nursing Home]

"..."

Was this system mission seriously not just copy-pasted?

He mentally muttered a small complaint.

Still, could roses even be used for condolences?

He genuinely didn't know that.

Not bad, not bad at all. Now those future roses had a destination.

"Uncle Fu, don't throw the flowers away. It's too wasteful; take them to condole the nursing home in the city."

"Right."

Remembering that his reputation still needed to be "maintained," if someone found out it was a gift from a profligate young master, his persona would collapse.

"Make sure not to say I did it. Send them anonymously," Fei Yangyao hurriedly instructed while glancing sideways at the back seat at "Barbecue," who seemed to have little bubbles popping over her head in anticipation of being eaten.

"Very well, Young Master," Uncle Fu acknowledged.

A Jiu was still very loyal to her young master; she only cared about his matters and paid no mind to anything else, letting words go in one ear and right out the other.

Of course, aside from those rare moments when she acted serious just like before.

"A Jiu, you mustn't tell anyone about what was said in the car today." It was better to add an extra layer of insurance. A Jiu never went back on things she promised.

"Mhm, A Jiu won't tell. A Jiu is Barbecue now. If you don't believe me, let's pinky-promise." As she spoke, she stretched out both hands, used her left hand to hook the pinky of her right hand, and extended it earnestly with a serious expression.

"I believe you, you're not a little kid anymore. But I'll pinky-promise with you anyway—this is a grown-up pinky-promise!" Young Master Fei stretched out his right hand and solemnly made the pinky promise with her.

Not a little kid anymore? A gleam of light flashed in A Jiu's eyes: "Okay!"

Yet beneath the hazy moonlight, set against the streetlights that cast a dim glow inside the carriage, that gleam naturally hid within the shadows.

Young Master Fei didn't notice it.

"Pinky-promise, seal it, a hundred years without changing..." A mixed chorus of a man and a woman echoed inside the vehicle, while Uncle Fu smiled faintly from the front.
