Lu Yuanmiao was bound to an NPC System.
The System required him to enter small worlds and diligently play the role of an NPC, giving the male lead experience, creating lucky encounters, and, when necessary, serving as a stepping stone himself. As long as he helped the male lead become the Child of Heaven's Will and stabilize the world, the mission would be complete, and he'd receive generous rewards.
System: I'm a beginner-level System. It's super easy!
Lu Yuanmiao believed its nonsense.
But after entering a small world...
The male lead seemed to gain insight while listening to his master's lecture, but senior disciple Lu Yuanmiao had already comprehended the Dao and broken through. The male lead's face turned blue.
During the sect tournament, the male lead struggled to win, while chief disciple Lu Yuanmiao comprehended an unparalleled sword technique and beat his opponent senseless. The male lead's face turned green.
In the battle between immortals and demons, the male lead was covered in blood, while Lu Yuanmiao, the leader of the righteous path, swept across the land with a single sword strike. The male lead's face turned purple.
And later on,
Lu Yuanmiao gazed at the moon and reflected on life, then comprehended the Dao.
Lu Yuanmiao poured himself a drink and sipped it alone, then comprehended the Dao.
Lu Yuanmiao ate a candied hawthorn, and still comprehended the Dao.
The male lead's face turned every color of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
System: Warning! Warning! Energy detected in excess of the small world's capacity! The small world is about to collapse. Mission failed!
Lu Yuanmiao: …
It was like playing an online game and accidentally maxing out the experience bar until it burst.
Lu Yuanmiao clasped his hands and earnestly pleaded, "Go away, you damn experience points!"
To complete the mission, the System found a way to fix things: it made another person accompany Lu Yuanmiao.
The other person: I'm Shen Huai.
Lu Yuanmiao looked at Shen Huai's tall, handsome features, then at his gentle, innocent gaze. "Are you strong?"
He must be powerful enough to keep Lu Yuanmiao in check, or else he wouldn't have been brought in to save the day.
But Shen Huai shook his head vigorously. "I'm so weak. I don't even know why the System picked me."
With no other choice, Lu Yuanmiao brought the useless pretty boy Shen Huai along on his quick transmigration missions. To finish each task before he made the world burst, he started completing missions at eight times the speed.
Until one day, a domineering, unruly male lead in the classic overpowered-hero style swore he would never follow Lu Yuanmiao's arrangements. The world began its countdown to collapse.
Shen Huai frowned and raised his sword.
A flash of cold light, and the male lead was down.
Sword energy stretched across thirty thousand miles, one sword chilling the nineteen continents. A rift spread from beneath the male lead's feet to the horizon, almost splitting the entire small world apart. It shattered the world's source rules, then remade them.
No longer rejected by the rules, Lu Yuanmiao let out a sigh of relief.
Then he heard Shen Huai say in surprise, "The male lead was actually weaker than me!"
