Reload If Affection Is Too Low

After transmigrating into the body of a young heir who had drowned, Yu Mian has barely been rescued before he has to face a storm of blood and violence.

His father, the Duke, wants to exile him. His own brother wants to throw him back into the water. Even the maids and servants hate and fear him.

Yu Mian panics a little.

System: [Dear, bind to the favorability System and you can reload infinitely to grind favor!]

System: [Once someone’s favorability reaches 100, they’ll support you unconditionally!]

Great!

He eagerly opens the System, only to find a screen full of deep-red negative numbers, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Yu Mian: “Just tell me you want me dead.”

To stay alive, Yu Mian works hard and uses his golden finger to grind favor like crazy.

Little by little, he turns things around, becoming everyone’s beloved darling. No one ever refuses him anything he asks for.

Until he meets the Crown Prince, and the System malfunctions.

Things that used to work once he got someone’s favorability high enough now don’t work even after he doubles the effort.

Yu Mian is quite troubled, so he stuffs every valuable thing he owns into the hands of A, B, and C.

The System notifies him that their favorability has exceeded the limit.

But A, B, and C look troubled and politely tell him that only His Highness the Crown Prince can handle this matter.

Why is it the Crown Prince again!

Yu Mian sneers. “You took my things and still won’t do it? Hand them over!”

He reloads at once.

Time rewinds, and A, B, and C ask in confusion, “What can we do for you, Your Lordship?”

Yu Mian: “Just passing by. Sorry to bother you.”

A, B, and C: “??”

Yu Mian has no choice but to find the Crown Prince. Petulantly, he shoves a wildflower he picked at random into his hands.

He waits for the System to announce a drop in favorability.

[System: The Crown Prince’s favorability has increased by 10]

Xiao Yue smiles warmly. “I’ll keep your matter in mind.”

Yu Mian: “!!”

The System really is broken. Now the Crown Prince can be bought off with a few wildflowers!

Nearby, the Eastern Palace attendant who had just threatened A, B, and C on the Crown Prince’s orders lowers his eyes and pretends to have forgotten everything. He doesn’t dare reveal the truth.

**

Xiao Yue hears that the Duke’s manor has a young heir with a strange temper.

His friend complains to him, “Yu Mian is so domineering. He’s reckless and completely improper.”

Xiao Yue has never cared one way or the other, until he sees Yu Mian escaping through a dog flap, just to force a starving beggar to accept the food and clothes he brought.

His friend is shocked.

Xiao Yue muses, “That’s what you call domineering?”

The way he crawls through a dog flap is kind of cute.

Title: The Strongest Loses His Cover and Is Forced to Save the World

Blurb:

Qi Le returns to reality from an infinite world, hoping to grow flowers, walk his dog, and live an ordinary life.

But monsters from another world invade and eat the flowers he raised. Enraged, he decides to tear them apart with his bare hands.

His neighbor beats him to it and comforts him. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

Qi Le goes along with it. “Mm-hmm. Thanks, bro.”

As the monsters wreak havoc, the authorities urgently establish a research group and a team of superpowered fighters. But they know too little about the monsters, and the death rate remains high.

A survivor from the infinite world joins the team and tells the captain, “The strongest expert has returned to reality, too. The monsters are nothing but food to him. He’s protected countless people and is a great savior. He’s our only hope.”

To save the world, the authorities post a call for cooperation on the superpower forum.

Many survivors come out of the woodwork, excitedly gossiping about the expert and hyping him up in thousands of posts.

The expert becomes an overnight sensation on the forum, but no one can find him.

Until one day, an S-rank monster suddenly appears in the city plaza, putting countless people in mortal danger.

“Should we run, too?” A friend clings to Qi Le, trembling.

Qi Le sighs, shrugs off his coat, and pushes upstream through the crowd. Then he reaches behind himself and pulls a glinting long blade from his spine.

“Me, ”

“I hate being a savior.”

The superpower team captain hurries to the scene. The monster is nowhere to be seen. All he finds is his sweet, frail neighbor kid, calmly wiping blood off a long blade.

They stare at each other.

Qi Le: “Bro.”

Nie Huan: “…Where’s the monster?”

Qi Le points to the puddle of blood on the ground.

“It’s dead,” Qi Le says. “Sorry I hid it from you. I’m the strongest expert you’ve been looking for.”

**

Nie Huan has a neighbor kid named Qi Le.

He’s timid. When he sees a monster eat his flowers, his eyes turn red with fright.

He’s quick-thinking and can point out a monster’s weakness with a single observation, though he modestly says it was just luck.

Qi Le is innocent and kind, and always relies on Nie Huan and stays close to him.

Nie Huan’s rose-colored glasses for Qi Le are firmly in place. He swears he’ll protect him forever, until he sees Qi Le effortlessly dispatch monsters one by one with his blade, as easily as chopping vegetables.

A team member hesitantly asks, “Captain, this is your timid, frail little brother?”

Nie Huan nods, turning a blind eye. “That’s right.”

Everyone else: ??
