Chapter 1 If Bad Luck Has a Rank
When Xu Jianqing pushed open the door, Yunniang, who had taken off her clothes and struck a graceful pose, was lying on his tattered bed, hooking her finger at him. If this were broadcast on TV, the screen would definitely be full of mosaics.
But if it were a novel, the next plot would either be the man rushing into the house and shouting at the woman in horror, "Who are you? Get out of my house!", or simply taking off his pants and going in.
But Xu Jianqing glanced inside the house expressionlessly, then slammed the door shut and turned to walk onto the street.
He put his hands on his hips, took a deep breath, and said to the passers-by: "Everyone come and see! There is a crazy woman with no clothes on in the house!"
Then he watched Yunniang stumble out of the back door with clothes in her hands and naked, walking quickly along the wall, and not forgetting to turn around and give him the middle finger viciously.
Xu Jianqing sighed deeply, turned around and waved to the onlookers, and explained with a smile: "Haha, I'm just kidding. If you're passing by, please continue passing by."
After the crowd dispersed, he sat down tiredly on a worn stool at the foot of the wall, gently pounded his legs and began to think about life.
The same scenario has happened for the fifth time this month. Although Xu Jianqing is a well-known handsome man, he is not a promiscuous otaku. This is why he is being harassed by a woman.
It’s purely because this is not the real world at all, it’s in a fucking novel!
That’s right, he wrote the novel himself!
This is a novel called "The Immortal Path Against the Sky", which tells the story of the protagonist Yan Ruchen's journey of cultivation.
The story revolves around this unique stallion-like character, presenting a series of thrilling plots of fighting monsters and cultivating the truth. When Yan Ruchen was young, he was unfortunately abandoned by the river. Fortunately, he was rescued and raised by a group of prostitutes from brothels and mansions.
However, life in the place of fireworks is not a comfortable home. Darkness and bullying are his daily routine. He has to try his best just to save his life and struggles for survival every day.
Yan Ruchen's village has been plagued by natural disasters and frequent invasions by demons for years. To find a solution, the village chief decides to send a group of young men to a southern sect to learn the ways of cultivation, hoping that upon their return, they will protect the villagers.
By chance, Yan Ruchen embarked on the journey of studying with the young people in the village, which also marked the beginning of his extraordinary life.
He participated in sect trials, met a hermit master, learned peerless martial arts, won the favor of countless beauties, and fought against the big boss in the book. From then on, he lived a life even more arrogant than Long Aotian. His name "Yan Ruchen" echoed in the sky for a long time, becoming an eternal legend.
Of course, there are also some foreshadowings and revelations interspersed throughout the story, such as the abandoned male protagonist who has demonic blood, the seemingly innocent and kind-hearted man who is actually a black lotus, and the most gentle and kind-hearted immortal elder in the whole story who is actually the boss behind the scenes, and the disciples of the immortal sect who disappeared for no reason are actually caused by this person, etc.
But even though this masterpiece has an incredible golden finger, and the hero has countless beauties in his harem in the later period, and is overwhelmed by the endless supply of magical herbs and elixirs, and has set up one foreshadowing and reversal after another, but!
Still can't prevent this novel from being a flop.
Xu Jianqing is the author of this flopped novel.
He wrote more than one million words for this book, but it has never even received more than a thousand views on Rotten Tomatoes.
Although he always said "Literature is priceless, long live love", but with the number of readers continuously declining, Xu Jianqing finally let himself go more and more in his writing. In the end, he left some holes unfilled and his writing was wild and unrestrained. He would write a beautiful internet celebrity into his article but not give her an ending. The more he wrote, the more arbitrary he became. Of course, the number of readers was even more miserable in the end.
Without reading volume, there is no income. After staying at home for more than a week, Xu Jianqing couldn't bear the hunger anymore, so he finally decided to "lower his status" and go to the supermarket to stock up two boxes of instant noodles.
But just as he was crossing the road, he was sent flying into the sky by a car that came from nowhere and was driving in the wrong direction.
Xu Jianqing, who was like a parabola passing through the sky, thought to himself before closing his eyes: If I had known earlier, I would have listened to his grandma and taken the civil service exam.
Xu Jianqing was dead, but not really dead. When he opened his eyes, he saw only a pitch-black world and a control panel speaking words even stiffer than Google Translate:
"Welcome Xu Jianqing, the author of 'Xian Tu Ni Cang Qiong', to the world of Men. This world accepts authors who have died in accidents to enter the system and experience the plots of their novels. In accordance with 100% restoration and 100% respect for the original works, we will help fill in the gaps and correct the complete plot, continuously improving the quality of the novels and giving back to our readers."
Xu Jianqing was confused: "Huh?"
The voice continued: "Due to abnormal network fluctuations, the plot of this world has deviated to a certain extent. The source has not yet been determined. We kindly request the author to assist in correcting the situation as the plot progresses. Once the plot returns to its original track, the host will have the opportunity to be reborn in the original world. In the meantime, this system will fully cooperate with the host to make the necessary plot corrections."
Xu Jianqing continued to look confused: "Huh?"
The voice continued, "System activation successful, character binding successful, Guan Shanyu, 14 years old, activation location, Xianyuan Village."
Xu Jianqing looked up at the sky and thought to himself, isn't he the author? If he traveled to his own novel, he should be experiencing the life of the protagonist Yan Ruchen. Who is Guan Shanyu? How come he has no idea about him at all?
The voice continued: [Rebirth countdown, 10, 9…]
"Wait!" Xu Jianqing hurriedly interrupted the artificial idiot and asked, "Hey, you brought me here. Since I'm the author, can I ask a few questions first?"
The voice said, "Of course, host, please ask."
Xu Jianqing asked, "Who is Guan Shanyu?"
A second later, the control panel in front of him lit up, and a few lines of large characters flashed by. The voice then explained, "Guan Shanyu, the eighty-sixth supporting character in "Immortal Journey Against the Sky," is from the same village as Yan Ruchen. His family fell into poverty early in life. At the age of fourteen, he and Yan Ruchen went to Tianxuan Dao Sect to study, and became students at Lingcaoxuan. Jealous of Yan Ruchen's exceptional talent, he often teamed up with disciples from various sects to humiliate Yan Ruchen. Later..."
"Wait." Xu Jianqing interrupted the artificial intelligence with cold sweat all over his body, and recalled this character in disbelief.
The character of Guan Shanyu in this novel is a cannon fodder who is so marginal that he cannot be more marginal. The purpose of his existence is to act as a stumbling block on the hero's early road to success, such as occasionally bullying and disgusting the hero. The purpose is to highlight the ups and downs of Yan Ruchen's academic journey, the bitterness of not being understood by outsiders, and the sadness of being bullied by his fellow students, thereby emphasizing the hero's indomitable noble character.
It seemed that this character was killed in the 30th chapter, and in order to make his death seem more reasonable, he was given the shameless identity of a homosexual who seduced the elder of Lingcaoxuan. Finally, under the just judgment of Yan Ruchen, Guan Shanyu's true face of being two-faced and narrow-minded was exposed, and he was driven out of the mountain gate and died in a foreign land.
However, in this novel, there are so many supporting characters like Guan Shanyu that even the author's biological father, Xu Jianqing, couldn't remember who this guy was for a moment, but!
Just because he is the biological author, even if he can't get the male lead, he can be the second male lead Song Ziye or the elder of some idle faction!
"Why on earth would I be assigned a role that's not even worthy of an 18th-tier supporting role!!! And it's about a die-hard homosexual!!! Are you fucking mistaken!!!"
Xu Jianqing excitedly held the control panel in his hands and shook it until it creaked. The system paused for just a second, and then the panel system screen turned, revealing an author ranking.
Xu Jianqing paused, looking at his own name, which wasn't even a thousandth on the Rotten Tomatoes author rankings. A bad feeling welled up in his heart, and he asked, "What does this mean?"
That voice rang out, "The system assigns roles based on factors such as author rankings and the popularity of their work. Originally, you were supposed to play the supporting role of Li Qi, but since the revised plot requires more screen time, the system has done its best to secure the important role of Guan Shanyu for you."
Damn, you can’t even give me a short-sleeved shirt!
Xu Jianqing stared at the board, which was densely packed with the names of many authors, as well as the names of their respective works and characters, which was dazzling.
His eyelids kept twitching as he asked, "Are these the authors and the characters they will assign in the future?"
The voice replied, "We will provide authors with corresponding characters based on the specific circumstances of the real world, so that after the real world ends, authors can quickly and seamlessly transition to this world to experience life."
Xu Jianqing pointed at another author next to his message and asked, "This author, Wu Ranzhinan, is she dead too?"
The voice said [Not yet]
Xu Jianqing rubbed her brows in a nagging headache. She looked at the familiar names in the author rankings, and the role reserved for her, "Maid, Died of Natural Causes," and felt truly helpless. Could it be that just because her novel was even worse than the flop "I Think You All Are Sick," author Wu Ranzhinan's next-door neighbor, she'd been given a lesser role than hers? How could this be justified? Her novel was a full 700,000 words longer than hers, so why did she get the role of "Maid, Died of Natural Causes" while she could only get the role of "Homosexual Died in a Foreign Land"?!
Xu Jianqing yelled, holding his head and wailing, "I won't accept this!"
The surrounding lights suddenly brightened, and the system immediately issued a crisp "ding" sound. Ignoring Xu Jianqing's wailing, it gently issued a reminder: "To ensure your journey is smooth, the system will accompany you throughout the journey to protect you. Please bravely correct the deviation without interfering with the original plot and strive to survive in this new world. Once you complete all the main quests of the protagonist group, the system will unlock the official mysterious gift package and lead you back to the real world."
Dear everyone, I wish you a happy game.
Off topic: The first update has eight chapters ~ I will update one chapter per day from now on.
As for why the cover is so sloppy. Emmm, listen to my excuse, because I didn’t have money to hire someone to do the cover, I drew it myself, hehe, actually I think I still have some talent
