Steward Mo Was a Transmigrator, and He Wanted to Be the Protagonist

Xiao Mei had barely left the east courtyard's side room when she came face-to-face with Steward Mo, who had called out earlier.

"Miss Xiao Mei, where is the third young master?"

"You mean my cousin? He should still be in the side room."

Still in the side room?

Steward Mo pondered this for a moment. By the time he looked up again, Xiao Mei had already hurried out of the rear courtyard.

After a moment's hesitation, he turned and headed back.

Meanwhile, inside the east courtyard's side room.

Having changed his clothes, Xiao Yan did not rush out. Instead, he opened the system.

The panel before his eyes resembled a phone screen from his previous life, with only three apps on it.

[Scan]

[App Store]

[Happy Match]

He loaded Happy Match with practiced ease, and a green vine tree filled the entire panel.

His avatar was clearly visible at level 911. The levels below were grayed out, while those above remained locked.

He entered the level, where the screen was packed with animal tiles-bears, frogs, foxes, magic birds, and more.

As an avid Happy Match fan, Xiao Yan cleared the level in just five minutes.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully cleared level 911 in Happy Match!]

[Your cultivation has been raised to One-Star Dou Emperor!]

[Please update to the latest version to continue clearing levels!]

Another update?

In all the years since his transmigration, whenever his cultivation advanced by a major realm, Happy Match would prompt him to update.

And what he needed for updates was data!

There were two known ways to obtain it: system rewards and advancing his own cultivation realm.

[Ding! You currently have sufficient data. Would you like to update?]

"No!"

Xiao Yan refused without a second thought.

Judging by the original story's timeline, today's visitors should be from the Misty Cloud Sect.

With his engagement about to be broken off at this critical juncture, he felt this was hardly the right time for an update.

In earlier years, thanks to the aid provided by the system's beginner gift pack, he had been able to keep a little data in reserve even after updating Happy Match.

Now, however, his expenses outstripped his income...

Besides that, there was another important reason: he wanted to try something fresh.

After all, Happy Match was only one of the apps in the system.

Eleven years ago, Xiao Yan had transmigrated from a hotel to the Dou Qi Continent.

Something else had come with him back then-his phone...

It had turned into the system!

"It's getting late. I should head out."

Before leaving, Xiao Yan made a point of smoothing the wrinkles at the hem of his clothes.

Creak~

He pulled the door open and found an old man in a blue robe standing outside.

It was the Xiao Clan's head steward, Xiao Mo-Steward Mo!

In the original novel, this Steward Mo bore the title of "the forgotten NPC."

He had never been mentioned in either the animated adaptation or the television series.

His sole appearance had been in chapter three...

"Steward Mo? You haven't gone to the hall yet?" Xiao Yan looked at him in puzzlement, his little head filled with enormous question marks.

Steward Mo smiled. "No. This old servant has been waiting for you, third young master. I thought we could go together."

"All right."
