After Shi Lin died, he transmigrated into a wish-fulfillment cultivation novel about a Dragon-Aotian protagonist. He had to follow the original plot and play his role, continually raising the [Protagonist Satisfaction] score to earn a chance at resurrection.
But when the System bound itself to him, a bug made him take on both roles at once: [The Villainous Master Who Humiliates and Torments the Protagonist] and [The Mysterious Benefactors Who Come to the Protagonist's Rescue].
Shi Lin: ...Benefactors, plural? Are you just going to keep milking me for everything I'm worth?
To stay alive, Shi Lin had no choice but to follow the original story and suppress Fang Yi, while also finding ways to switch identities and help him cultivate.
And so...
The villainous master pushed Fang Yi into a dangerous secret realm, and a reclusive expert promptly delivered a world-shaking cultivation manual.
The villainous master broke Fang Yi's sword, and the head of the Sword Pavilion forged a personal magical weapon for him with his own hands...
At last, thanks to Shi Lin's diligent performance of n different roles, the protagonist's satisfaction score soared.
Shi Lin seized the moment to fake his death and escape, then went off to enjoy his freedom.
After faking his death, Shi Lin soon forgot all about the protagonist.
That was until one day, when he accidentally wandered into the cave where he had kept the protagonist company while playing the nth benefactor.
Deep in the cave, the protagonist stared at him with a sinister expression, clutching the manuals, magical weapons, and immortal pills given to him by his benefactor or benefactors...
Shi Lin: …
Oh no, I think I've been found out.
As the protagonist closed in, Shi Lin struck out in desperation, landing a palm strike squarely on his chest.
The protagonist ignored it, pressed closer, and forced Shi Lin to interlace their fingers.
At the same time, the familiar voice sounded beside his ear:
[Protagonist Satisfaction +100]
Shi Lin: ?????
What on earth is he enjoying?!
-
In his previous life, Fang Yi endured humiliation after humiliation, until at last he could take no more and killed the culprit who had caused him so much suffering with a single sword stroke.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the day his villainous master abandoned him in the freezing snow, gravely wounded and on the brink of death.
Nothing had changed.
Fang Yi gritted his teeth in hatred, already plotting how to hack his villainous master to pieces all over again.
Then he saw a reclusive expert approach gracefully. The man not only treated his injuries, but personally taught him a world-shaking cultivation manual.
And the reclusive expert's inner voice said:
I think I'm doing a pretty good job acting. He definitely won't realize I'm his master!
Fang Yi: ...
Fang Yi: ?
From that day on, no matter how much Fang Yi suffered, a benefactor always showed up just in time.
The head of the Sword Pavilion, an elder of Medicine Valley, even the demon clan's holy son...
Fang Yi listened closely: Oh, they're all Master.
