Chapter 131 - 131

[Plot change detected. Please host, accept the new plot.]

Ye Zhizhou, who had just arrived home, was momentarily stunned. He opened the new plot information.

In this new plot, all the scenes of the main characters turning into cats had disappeared. The story now began with the protagonist awakening to his abilities. Chang Yao didn't go abroad this time but followed the protagonist to Y Province for jade gambling. Then, at the antique appraisal event, the protagonist encountered Xiao Rui, Wen Jiahe, and later returned to B City and met Wu Kaien... The plot of saving Wen Jiahe with the cat's body had now changed to the protagonist coincidentally saving Wen Jiahe from robbers on the way to the orphanage.

He frowned, deep in thought. Without the information gained from being a cat close to the male lead, how did the protagonist learn about the personalities and habits of the male characters? The protagonist had already approached Wu Kaien and Shi Jianwen through the cat, but what about Xiao Rui and Wen Jiahe?

With this in mind, he quickly moved to his computer, utilizing a few tricks he had left on the protagonist's computer that afternoon. He effortlessly accessed the protagonist's computer, then the home network, and finally, when the protagonist plugged in his phone to charge, he infiltrated the phone as well.

Early the next morning, he didn't bother brushing his teeth or washing his face. He sat in front of the computer and began examining the information left by the protagonist on the computer and phone. Combining it with what he had noted yesterday, after careful filtering and speculation, he identified the people the protagonist frequently contacted. Following the connections of that contact person, he found the international team that assisted the protagonist.

"It really is that paranormal organization..." He relaxed and let himself be carried away by Gu Yi, who had a stern face, to the bathroom to brush his teeth and freshen up. The resurrection pill was potent; the protagonist probably couldn't switch bodies anymore. Without the pretext of becoming a cat, the protagonist could only rely on others' investigations to understand the male leads. But... how did the protagonist pinpoint the few male leads with signs of awakening psychic abilities among the vast population? Wait, didn't the protagonist mention the word "prediction" during the phone call yesterday... Prediction, does it refer to foreseeing the future?

If the protagonist had precognitive abilities, then the plot holes in the storyline were indeed numerous. For example, that inexplicable assistance from Qin Shuhou, who had bumped into the protagonist twice. The Qin family had always rejected the protagonist as an illegitimate child, and Qin Shuhou's position in the Qin family was so stable that there was no need for him to bump into the protagonist, let alone personally confront him. Furthermore, the body initially prepared by the system for himself was Qin Shuhou's. In other words, Qin Shuhou had willingly provided his body to the system... Given the system's nature, everyone who had offered their bodies to the protagonist was probably deceived by him. Considering Qin Shuhou's fate in the plot...

Could it be that Qin Shuhou didn't actually bump into the protagonist but rather the protagonist predicted the time and place of Qin Shuhou's appearance and deliberately collided with him as a pretext? Going further back, if the protagonist had awakened his precognitive abilities at a young age, was the protagonist's encounter and friendship with Chang Yao also deliberate? And the fact that the protagonist was so proficient in Arabic, that couldn't be learned in just a few years... Maybe the protagonist had already established contact with that paranormal organization through precognitive abilities at a very young age?

Suppose, in the original storyline, the protagonist didn't die when confronting the male leads and the paranormal organization but instead successfully stole the male leads' spiritual powers... Each male lead's psychic power direction was different: Gu Yi's was hypnosis, Wu Kaien's was speed, Shi Jianwen's was affinity, Xiao Rui's was restoration, Wen Jiahe's was identification, and Chang Yao's was purification... Adding the protagonist's own prediction and soul vision, maybe even stealing abilities...

Predicting the future, identifying potential psychics, soul vision, followed by assessing psychic abilities, then using hypnosis and affinity to control the psychics, followed by stealing their powers, and finally using purification to remove any rejection or non-merging effects after theft? What about speed? Speed... could it accelerate the development of psychic abilities in others? As for restoration, wasn't that the best way to control psychics? If someone dared to resist, just directly restore their abilities, rendering their training useless, or even restore their abilities to the state before awakening...

His toothbrushing came to a sudden halt as he contemplated. If these speculations were true, what kind of future had the protagonist foreseen for himself? Wait a minute, speed and purification could also be used on others, did that mean the protagonist could awaken someone's psychic abilities by purifying their body and accelerating their brain development? After the revelation of psychic abilities in the original plot, the number of awakened psychics suddenly increased. Could this have been the protagonist's doing?

He put down his toothbrush and rinsed away the foam, feeling like he might have touched upon the truth. The theme of world destruction had always remained the same... it was indeed "np," but it was the protagonist's manipulation of the male leads' abilities within his mind...

After finishing his morning routine, he walked to the dining room and leaned on the table, watching Gu Yi preparing breakfast in the kitchen. His mind was racing.

He had found it strange before that in the original plot, Gu Yi's feelings for the protagonist didn't seem very deep, and his attitude occasionally seemed odd. This strangeness had become a matter of course after confirming that Gu Yi was the lover, so he didn't think too much about it. He believed that his lover wouldn't betray him, and he believed that his lover wouldn't get involved with the protagonist due to the soul flag's influence. He had initially thought that in the original plot, Gu Yi and the protagonist being together was just an illusion created by the soul flag. In the first few worlds, there had been situations where the protagonist accepted a male lead as part of his harem in the plot data, but in reality, the male lead had never been with the protagonist. Now, upon closer examination, perhaps Gu Yi had deliberately approached the protagonist in the original plot.

The house was full of surveillance cameras, and the abnormality with the protagonist had undoubtedly been noticed by Gu Yi long ago. Maybe the mole was Gu Yi's own doing to show to the protagonist... In the subsequent plot, Gu Yi persistently harassed the protagonist to buy the jade from him, even though there was a ton of top-grade jade raw materials piled up in the study... And then helping the protagonist open a store and enter the market, wasn't this a way to penetrate and investigate economically?

The part in the plot where all the male leads gathered for the first time after the protagonist exposed his cat identity was also peculiar. Gu Yi stayed at the protagonist's shop for a while, "accidentally" provoking Chang Yao, who confessed, which was overheard by Xiao Rui and Wen Jiahe, who happened to arrive, followed by Wu Kaien and Shi Jianwen...

If the protagonist didn't get bumped into again and if Chang Yao didn't say something absurd about waiting for the protagonist to wake up and everyone accompanying the protagonist, then perhaps the protagonist's path to forming a harem would have ended during this gathering of male leads... Wait a minute, why do I feel that Chang Yao is also a bit suspicious? The first time Qin Shuhou bumped into the protagonist, he was there, and the second time as well. This guy even mentioned sharing the protagonist with others. Is he out of his mind? Did Chang Yao also notice something? Or has he been brainwashed by the protagonist?

What about the inexplicable probability of falling in love that Chang Yao mentioned yesterday? Did he overhear the phone call the protagonist made? But if he heard the call, why did the probability of falling in love only appear after the two of them took a taxi to the hospital? Did Chang Yao engage the protagonist in conversation on their way to the hospital?

...No, I feel like my mind is tying itself in knots.

He scratched his hair and turned his face in another direction as he lay down. In the original plot, Chang Yao's love for the protagonist was genuine. Maybe everything was just his overthinking. Chang Yao might really be that foolish...

"Have breakfast."

He was gently patted on the head, and the aroma of food wafted over.

He sat up, reached out to hug Gu Yi's waist, and nuzzled him affectionately. Being with his lover was so comforting... If only his lover hadn't lost his memory. He really wanted to experience being a waste lying around in the previous world again...

"What's wrong?" Gu Yi put down the plate and pinched his ear. "Being cute won't work. Today, you're not allowed to wander around."

The plan to visit Xiao Rui was ruined... He tilted his head and poked Gu Yi's abs with his chin, grinding his teeth. "I want to go to Shi's villa and play with Ah Huang."

Gu Yi thought seriously about his request and then ruthlessly refused, "Shi Jianhua has lost his mind lately. You're not allowed to go. Be careful he catches you and locks you up. I won't come to rescue you then."

He rolled his eyes and let go of Gu Yi, burying his head to eat breakfast.

Gu Yi stroked his hair. "Are you angry?"

He took a bite of the omelet, lengthening his voice. "Oh, this egg seems sour. Did you add vinegar?"

Gu Yi pinched his face without any kindness. "You're not honest at all... There's nothing to do at the company today. I'll attend a morning meeting and come back. Wherever you want to go, I'll accompany you."

He quickly put down the omelet, turned around, and hugged Gu Yi tightly, rubbing against him with force. "You're really good, Dongfang."

"Call me 'Master.'"

"...Hurry up and go to work, I won't send you off." #Thoughts #Rabbit #Online #Reading#

During lunchtime, Ye Zhizhou, who hadn't decided which male lead to look for, was blocked at his doorstep by Wu Kaien.

"Master!" Wu Kaien rushed over with a flushed face, trying to grab his hand. "Last night, I accidentally...—"

Gu Yi's face turned dark, and he covered Wu Kaien's mouth and pushed him aside, wiping his hand with disgust. He looked at Ye Zhizhou. "He's been squatting in front of my company all morning. He insisted on following me back to find you. If I don't take him, he'll drive here by himself, and I can't get rid of him."

Ye Zhizhou showed sympathy. "You must have endured it a lot." Even his spiritual power emitted a murderous intent.

Gu Yi, with a stern expression, said, "It's been tolerable."

Then why don't you tone down that murderous intent...

Wu Kaien got up from the ground again, transformed from a dandy into an idiot in an instant, and said, "Master! Reward me with another pill, please, save my kidneys!"

Why do the male leads have to be like this? It's unbearable!

"You arrived at just the right time." Ye Zhizhou took a step to the side, making Wu Kaien bump into the wall. He took out a pill and shook it, smiling. "Today, I'll take you to have some fun."

Wu Kaien wiped his nose, which had been hurt in the collision, and his eyes sparkled as he took the pill. "Master, you're the boss! Today, I'm your little brother and ATM!"

Gu Yi couldn't help but throw him out again.

Wu Kaien fell in love with the protagonist for one simple reason: the protagonist's appearance suited his taste perfectly! Ye Zhizhou used to have mixed feelings about such a shallow male lead. On one hand, they were easy to manipulate, but on the other hand, they might grow back after being removed! However, now that he had a lover, a little matchmaker when it came to connections, all he had to do was remove the flag, find the real match for Wu Kaien, and there was no way that flag would ever grow back!

In the vast ice skating rink that had been rented out, Ye Zhizhou took out a face-changing pill and smiled at Wu Kaien, who had changed into his skates. "I heard you're into both men and women, especially those who are elegant and gentle, right?"

Wu Kaien blushed and turned his head shyly. "Not really... Actually, I prefer the type of enchanting beauty that you are, Master!"

Gu Yi coldly chuckled and began counting on his fingers.

Wu Kaien quickly slid away.

"Then I'll make sure you enjoy yourself today." Ye Zhizhou swallowed the face-changing pill, activated his illusion array, and a scene of seventeen or eighteen elegant and gentle beauties appeared, flirting with Wu Kaien.

As the evening approached, Ye Zhizhou wiped off the face-changing effect and deactivated the illusion array. He looked at Wu Kaien, who was lying on the ground with a look of despair, and shook his head in disdain. "You've romanced so many ladies and gentlemen, how does it feel to be on the receiving end of revenge from your ex-lovers?"

"Wuwu..." Wu Kaien rolled over on the ice, his body cold and his heart even colder. "Xiao Li... *... Wen Wen... I'm sorry, I let you down... Wuwu..."

So pitiful, he cried like a baby.

Ye Zhizhou pretended to sympathize, patting his arm as he approached. "Will you dare to love sincerely next time?"

"I won't dare..."

"Will you still engage in relationships with both men and women?"

"I won't..."

"Do you remember the faces of your ex-lovers?"

"I remember, I probably won't forget them for the rest of my life..." Wu Kaien paused and then cried, "But there was one man I've never even met, he's not my ex, why did he come to torment me so mercilessly?"

Ye Zhizhou waved a photo of the protagonist in front of him. "Are you talking about him?"

Wu Kaien squinted his eyes and shuddered. He carefully moved away. "It's him... I don't even know him! Why does he want to bully me too?"

Ye Zhizhou fanned the photo in front of him. "Because he's your next one."

Wu Kaien stopped moving and turned to look at the photo. "What? Next one? But my next one looks pretty good..."

Some things never change.

Ye Zhizhou sneered, snapped his fingers, and Gu Yi, who was waiting outside, cooperatively turned off the power to the skating rink. Then, the illusion array was activated again.

Screams filled the air. Ten minutes later, Wu Kaien lay on the ground like a dead pig, tears flowing.

Ye Zhizhou crossed his arms, looked down at him, and said, "Do you like the next one?"

"No..." Wu Kaien shook his head, tremblingly reaching out to grab his pants. He looked pitiful as he said, "Master, I understand your good intentions. I swear, I'll never play around again. I'll go back and study hard..."

[Wu Kaien's probability of falling in love with the protagonist has dropped to 50%. Please continue your efforts, host.]

It's halved, but that's acceptable.

Ye Zhizhou pulled his leg back, shook the photo again, and said, "What if this person insists on dating you and deliberately gets close to you? Do you know what to do?"

Wu Kaien shivered and then said firmly, "I'll keep my distance from him, as far away as possible! Master, today's game was too exciting... Can we try something else next time?"

[Wu Kaien's probability of falling in love with the protagonist has dropped to 30%. Please continue your efforts, host.]

It seems the torture wasn't harsh enough, but it's still not bad. Ye Zhizhou nodded, pulled him up, patted his shoulder, and said solemnly, "Kaien, your future partner will soon cross paths with you. Until then, everyone who approaches you has ulterior motives. Understand?"

Wu Kaien instantly regained his spirits. "Master, are you serious? Is my future partner good-looking? Is he elegant and gentle?"

"Of course... not." Ye Zhizhou recalled the information Gu Yi had provided him and smiled with a mouthful of white teeth. "He's the type of enchanting beauty that you like. Don't worry, your future will be very happy."

"It will be very... cough" Wu Kaien's mind immediately went to a naughty place, and his eyes started to gleam with mischief. "An enchanting beauty, huh... I like mischievous little demons in bed!"

Ye Zhizhou nodded absentmindedly. "Yes, yes, your future partner also likes it a lot." Maybe a bit too much.
