There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions of Starting a Harem Chapter 93

The setting of 《 Dreaming Continent 》 was very close to the real world, but unlike the real world, there was a powerful human enemy—Zerg. The players could choose from three different races when creating their characters: Spirit, Demon and Human. The Spirit race specialized in healing and MT related classes. The Demon race preferred long-range attackers. The Human race was more balanced and could choose any class, but as a result, it wasn’t specialized in anything. In general, most life skill players chose the Human race.
Ye Zhizhou, dressed in robes and holding an ancient sword, stood in the middle of a small modernized village, the wind was blowing around chaotically. Who came up with this weird hodgepodge of a game? It’s inconceivable how many people still play it.
An auntie walking her dog came to the village entrance, stopped beside him and said, “Oh, a new adventurer, just in time. My daughter is bringing her boyfriend back later. I have to hurry back and cook. Can you help me walk Wang Cai?”
【 Quest triggered—Aunt Wang’s Request: Take Wang Cai for a walk outside the village and feed him. Accept this quest? 】
This style really makes a person feel uncomfortable.
He accepted the quest, then took the rope leash from Aunt Wang’s hand. With a displeased face, he walked out of the village.
Walking a dog was very simple. He completed that part of the task by walking the dog a few times around the river outside the village, but feeding the dog was very hard. As a novice, he was fresh into the game and had no money on hand. After searching outside of the village for a while, he extended his sinful empty hands to fish in the river outside of the village and caught a pheasant in the forest. Half an hour later, he fed Wang Cai with some fresh grilled fish and beggar’s chicken. He received a skill book—Beginner Cooking.
So it turns out, you could actually activate cooking skills in this way, not very hard… He read the skill book, went to find Aunt Wang to give back Wang Cai, and then received a new task—Prepare a satisfactory dinner for Aunt Wang’s family. Thinking of the protagonist's golden finger, the Imperial Feast recipe book, with a wave of his hand, he made a real Imperial Feast with the materials provided by Aunt Wang.
【 Player Ye Zhizhou has triggered a holy level quest—Awakening of the Kitchen God. The game is about to force update. Asking players to please log off within half an hour. The expected update time is 12 hours. A new version will soon be available, please look forward to it. 】
Ye Zhizhou, who was about to look for Aunt Wang to complete the task, was blinded by the golden font that suddenly appeared in the air. Then, a translucent panel suddenly popped up from the lower right corner, and the words on it were wildly rolling.
Loves to eat Crayfish: WTF! Holy quest! Isn’t that a hidden quest? So hidden quests can trigger the game to update?
Angel Wings: Who is Ye Zhizhou? Which food God is it? It can't be our family's darling Jing Shu's side account?
Underpants Leak Wind: Gentleman’s Pavilion opened a new place in M city today. God Jing Shu probably doesn’t have time to play.
The Old Rogue of Literature and Art: Insider info, after the Awakening the Kitchen God quest is completed, all the food in the game will have additional attributes. Jing Shu, that profiteer, will no longer be the only one. So please, Brother Ye, work hard, and finish the quest quickly!
Chrysanthemum Eye: What?! All foods will have additional attributes?! Oh my god, this is great news, everyone should rejoice!
Ye Zhizhou raised his head to look at the golden characters that were still floating in the air. He recalled the plot information carefully, and a corner of his mouth quirked up. In the original plot, only the protagonist's food had additional attributes. It seems like this kind of quest didn't appear… Is the power of an authentic Imperial Feast this strong?
Suddenly, there was a flurry of game alert panels. A large number of friend requests popped up, cascading around him and forming a dense layer that blocked the light.
World channel.
Loves to eat Crayfish: WTF! The person who triggered the quest is a newbie. I searched him up. Ye Zhizhou is only level 1! The holy level quest seems to require him to beat the Zerg queen. He's only a level 1… WTF fuck fuck fuck!
The Old Rogue of Literature and Art: What?! Level 1?
Chrysanthemum Eye: No! Can you ask for help with this quest? Is there a time limit? Kneeling and pleading for the Gods on the ranking board to help!
Another panel popped up with a bunch of private chats from other players. Ye Zhizhou wiped his cold sweat and quickly looked for a way to turn off the chat panel. Then, he went to find Aunt Wang to finish the task before logging off. This development was totally different from what he expected, he needs to calm down.
After a slight sense of weightlessness, the game scene in front of him became the roof of the dark game pod. He pulled off the connecting cable and opened the game pod. He sat up and picked up his phone to check the time. It was only four o’clock in the afternoon. He frowned. It’s strange that the hard-working and steady original host would be at home playing games at 4 pm.
Stepping out of the game pod, he sat down on the bed and opened the system information to check the plot timeline. A minute later, he fell back onto the bed and covered his face with a pillow.
No wonder the original host was playing a game… The Fu family has already been ruined by the protagonist and the several male leads to the point where they almost can't hold on. The original host had probably wanted to save the family in a roundabout way by playing the game… Then, this means that the protagonist is already together with several male leads…
The rear palace has already been finished! How was he supposed to pull out these flags!
Throwing the pillow away and sitting up, he opened the system again and looked at the part of the plot where the world ended.
After the protagonist and the male leads got together, in order to commemorate how they met and fell in love, she put forth a large amount of money to establish a game company, preparing to make her own holographic game. Ten years later, the game was officially launched and the response was very warm. Three months after that, the first batch of game pods in the market suddenly had problems—all users who had used these game pods fell into a coma. Another month afterwards, the comatose players all became brain dead, and the protagonist was pushed to the heart of the problem.
The game was urgently shut down and all game pods and helmets were recalled. The protagonist and the male leads' company fell into a crisis. The relevant departments incessantly came knocking on their door to warn them, making their lives a mess.
The protagonist was utterly panic-stricken and the seven male leads were hard-pressed. With their increasingly tense domestic situation, the male leads secretly sent the protagonist abroad to avoid the limelight. The protagonist, who was sent away, once again showed off her protagonist halo and gained the attention of Political Leader A and Munitions Tycoon B with her cooking skills. It seemed like the harem was going to add new people until Munitions Tycoon B unexpectedly collapsed and died while competing against Political Leader A for the protagonist!
Munitions Tycoon B’s loyal dog subordinate was very sad to learn about his death and began to take revenge on the protagonist and Political Leader A.
An assassination that could occur at any time, the jealous criticism that came from the male leads in her home country and the game that was supposed to be a symbol of their love turned into a life-ruining burden… Her life was utterly destroyed, and the protagonist fell apart. She abandoned everything, changed her name and ran to a small country to live in seclusion.
After assassinating Political Leader A, the loyal dog, who couldn’t find any trace of the protagonist, fell into a frenzy. He was so desperate that he even cooperated with an evil war cult lunatic and launched a war against the small country where the protagonist hid.
The war lunatic, who was supplied plenty of weapons and ammunition, tasted the sweetness and took advantage of the loyal dog subordinate’s moment of weakness to brainwash and control him. From then on, with the large supply of weapons and ammunition, the war never stopped. In just a dozen years, the small-scale wars had expanded to half of the earth. In the next few decades, the loyal dog died and the war lunatic became fully insane. With the help of the war lunatic's cult believers, they tore up the stalemate situation at that time with suicide attacks and plunged all countries into war. Five years later, a world war broke out and the evil war cult lunatic took his last breath in front of the loyal dog’s grave. After another few decades, the world ended.
Ye Zhizhou stopped moving the hand that was flipping through the plot data and raised it to cover his forehead. Since they’re going to fight, either way, they might as well fight until the world is destroyed.
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open and a beautiful looking woman stood at the entrance with her head down. She sobbed. “Brother, it’s useless… Even going into the game is useless… It’s all my fault. If at that time, I didn’t offend Jun Shujing, it’s all my…”
From the system’s data and after looking through the original host’s memories, Ye Zhizhou’s expression eased. He got up, walked over, patted her hair and said, “Xiao Xia, don’t blame yourself. It’ll get better, believe in me.”
“Brother, let me marry Wang Shu.” Fu Xia looked up at him, though her eyes were red, they were very firm. “As long as I marry him, with the funding, the family’s broken chain can be saved. Brother won't be troubled any more, father and mother wouldn't have to beg for help everywhere, and the old shop that grandfather always thinks about won't have to be sold, as long as I……”
“Stop it!” Ye Zhizhou calmly interrupted her words, feeling the powerlessness and anger of the original host. “My Fu family isn't so bad off that they need to sell their daughter to survive! I don’t want to hear this kind of talk again! Wang Shu, that kind of scum, don't even think about marrying him!"
“But what about the family!” Fu Xia’s eyes widened, trying hard to not let her tears fall. Her shoulders shook constantly. “I heard it. Mom and Dad want to sell our ancestral secret recipe for money! The family has been keeping this recipe a secret and were always unwilling to take it out to use! Just because of me… Just because of me… Brother! I don’t want that! I don’t want that!”
“Then you'd better work hard and not let our parents worry about you!” Ye Zhizhou glared at her, took out a list from his pocket, stuffed it into her hand, and waved at her to leave. “Go, take this to Mom and Dad. Don't we still have some old restaurants? Have them follow this recipe to make new dishes.”
Fu Xia was stunned. She lowered her head and opened the list in her hand. Her eyes then widened in shock. “Brother, Im-Imperial feast recipes?! And they're also ones that have never been seen before. Where did you get these from?”
Originally, he made up this Imperial Feast recipe to trick his lover for fun… Of course, he couldn’t answer that.
“Didn’t I leave the province a while ago? This was what I was looking for.” He saw that Fu Xia’s eyes were fixed on the recipe and didn’t move. Ye Zhizhou relaxed his expression and continued, “In the evening, call all of the cooks from the old restaurants to come over. Let’s study this recipe carefully. I’ll find a way to solve the money problem. Give me a few days and I promise to make it up for you, en?”
“Brother…” Fu Xia raised her eyes to look at him, wanting to smile but shamefully cried instead. She went up to him and hugged him with all her strength and sobbed. “Why are you my blood brother? I want to marry you, brother… Wa, brother you're too good.”
This kind of childlike crying… He raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her. “Alright alright, you’re already this big and still cry like this. Isn’t it too disgraceful? This will all pass. Don’t cry.”
Fu Xia heard his words and simply started to wail at the top of her lungs.
This was truly… He removed his hand from her shoulder and leaned on the door frame. He opened up the system information in his mind and squinted at the light screen that popped up mid-air. Seven male leads and seven soul flags… If his suspicion was correct, these flags could all be pulled out at once.
