System Mission Record

Mission	Chapter	Outcome / Reward
Join the Huaxia Academy of Sciences within one week	482 488 491	Completed. Received one-fifth of the controllable nuclear-fusion artificial sun blueprints. Ye Qingshan photographed the materials with a covert pen camera, destroyed the originals, and intended to transfer the data to Ugly Country.
Enter a relationship before the deadline	510	Failed after Jiang Caixia deleted his contact information before he could meet and confess to her.
Win a triathlon championship	519 523 524 526	Failed following repeated sabotage during the swimming and cycling stages. The system identified the punishment as reduced by “human interference.”
Win the Jade Dragon Ski Competition	532 541 543	Reward offered: an ultra-high-precision machine-tool blueprint. His performance was disrupted by an intense genital itch, and his public image was damaged by the incident.
Win a freediving competition	555 561 562	Reward offered: blueprints for a 1 nm lithography machine. Ye Qingshan later suffered another championship loss and learned that mission failure carried a death penalty.
Parachuting competition	573 577 578 579	A falcon controlled by Tang Yu tore apart his parachute midair. Ye Qingshan survived the fall, but the system’s golden sheet vanished and the system ceased responding.

Background / History

Ye Qingshan was sent toward Huaxia by the Ye Family as part of its plan to weaken Huaxia’s national fortune through technological misdirection. Having undergone twelve blood replacements to remove the Qiu Family bloodline from his body, he was able to cross into Huaxia’s territorial waters without suffering the suppression that restrained his relatives. Upon entering the country, he became the host of a system that assigned him missions in exchange for advanced technology. 482

His public identity was that of an outstanding overseas researcher of Chinese descent: he had worked at three prestigious Ugly Country research laboratories, specialized in lithography machines, published five notable papers, and cultivated a patriotic image through donations and aid to Huaxia citizens abroad. 483 He entered the Huaxia Academy of Sciences through the system mission, but privately intended to keep its technological rewards from Huaxia and deliver them to his father’s side in Ugly Country. 491

After his first mission, Huaxia’s authorities established the Qingshan Department to protect him and help complete future system tasks. Ye Qingshan was unaware that the system had also contacted the authorities and that they could receive mission rewards themselves. 493 579 He subsequently provided research on military engines sourced from information supplied through his father; the resulting work improved an engine’s performance by nearly ten percent and earned him an Outstanding Talent Medal. 531 532

His growing fame collapsed after public incidents involving genital warts and multiple humiliating scandals. Despite the reputational damage, he continued pursuing access to high-level research projects, including Dean Gu’s machine-tool task force. 542 545 He also became increasingly convinced that Tang Yu was the hidden enemy sabotaging his missions, eventually reporting Tang Yu to the Qingshan Department. 560 562

During the final documented parachuting mission, Tang Yu used a controlled falcon to shred Ye Qingshan’s parachute. Ye Qingshan survived after three days in a coma, but suffered extensive injuries and had his testicles surgically removed due to necrosis. The system had vanished by the time he awoke. 577 578 579

Appearance

Ye Qingshan is described as a handsome mixed-race young man, an image that contributed to his rapid public popularity after his military-engine breakthrough. 532

• Publicly presented himself as a polished, patriotic scientific prodigy. 483 532
• Wore a mask when returning to the Huaxia Academy of Sciences after his scandal attracted reporters. 545
• His parachuting injuries left him with compound fractures and the surgical loss of both testicles. 579

Personality

Ye Qingshan is highly determined, status-conscious, and willing to endure setbacks for the Ye Family’s revival. He treats his return to Huaxia as a long-term infiltration mission and views his scientific accomplishments as leverage for earning official trust and protection. 482 526 531

He is also cautious and suspicious. After receiving the artificial-sun blueprints, he immediately feared that the academy had admitted him to investigate him, used covert equipment to copy the documents, and destroyed the evidence. 491 His caution eventually developed into fixation on Tang Yu, whom he correctly suspected of interfering with his missions. 560 562

In public, Ye Qingshan performs humility and patriotism effectively, particularly before Dean Gu and the scientific community. Privately, he is arrogant, easily angered, and dismissive of people he considers beneath him. 519 523 532 577

Abilities & Skills

System Host

Ye Qingshan’s system assigned time-limited objectives and promised technology-based rewards. Its missions also affected a wider conflict involving Heavenly Dao power. 482 491

• The system’s first known task required him to enter the Huaxia Academy of Sciences within one week. 482 488
• Failure could result in severe punishment; Ye Qingshan later learned that final failure was supposed to erase him. 562 579
• The system also contacted Huaxia’s authorities, allowing them to receive rewards for assisting him. 579
• Following the parachuting failure, the system’s golden sheet disappeared and Ye Qingshan could no longer sense it. 578 579

Scientific Research and Technical Intelligence

Ye Qingshan has a strong research background in advanced technology, particularly lithography and military-engine development. 483 531

• Worked at three leading Ugly Country research laboratories and published five influential papers before returning to Huaxia. 483
• Presented military-engine research that helped produce a nearly ten-percent performance increase within a week. 531 532
• Submitted research on machine tools and joined Dean Gu’s special task force on the subject. 545
• Uses scientific contributions as cover to establish credibility with Huaxia’s institutions while advancing Ye Family interests. 491 526

Athletic Ability

Ye Qingshan trained intensively for several system-assigned sporting events and demonstrated unusually strong all-around physical aptitude. 519 522

• Received specialized training in swimming, cycling, and running for the triathlon. 519
• His coaches believed that, if he entered the Olympics, winning a championship would not be difficult. 522
• Considered a one-kilometer outdoor swim easy and initially judged the triathlon field beneath him. 523
• Identified freediving as an event he was especially skilled in. 555

Covert Tradecraft

Ye Qingshan employs basic espionage methods in support of the Ye Family’s objectives.

• Used a miniature camera pen to copy the artificial-sun blueprints. 491
• Destroyed the physical blueprints with a portable shredder, burned the remains, and flushed away the ashes. 491
• Contacted his father through an emergency channel to obtain classified military-engine information for use in gaining Huaxia’s trust. 531

Equipment / Items

• Miniature camera pen — Concealed recording device used to copy the artificial-sun blueprints. 491
• Portable paper shredder — Used to destroy sensitive documents after copying them. 491
• Artificial-sun blueprint data — One-fifth of the design was copied and intended for transfer to Ugly Country rather than Huaxia. 491
• Outstanding Talent Medal — Awarded by the Huaxia Academy of Sciences following the military-engine breakthrough. 532

Relationships

• Ye Feilong — Grandfather and Ye Family elder who accompanied Ye Qingshan to Huaxia’s border and supported his mission to restore the family. 482
• Ye Qizi — Father in Ugly Country; supplied classified military-engine information when Ye Qingshan needed to gain Huaxia’s trust. 483 531
• Dean Gu — Senior supporter at the Huaxia Academy of Sciences. He defended Ye Qingshan’s public image, awarded him an Outstanding Talent Medal, and invited him onto the machine-tool task force. 532 545
• Wang Yu — Leader of the Qingshan Department who revealed that the department had been established specifically for Ye Qingshan because of the system. 579
• Tang Yu — Primary adversary. Tang Yu repeatedly sabotaged Ye Qingshan’s system missions, including the triathlon and parachuting events; Ye Qingshan eventually identified him as the likely culprit. 524 562 577
• Jiang Caixia — Intended relationship target for a system mission. Her deletion of Ye Qingshan’s contact information contributed to that mission’s failure. 510
• Zhang Yuqi — Personal acquaintance who comforted Ye Qingshan after a nightmare, then later publicly humiliated him through an online post following their conflict. 573 577
