Arc 5 Prologue Part 1

“Sir Host1, welcome back.” The black cat licked Shen Jiayan’s palm, bringing him back from his thoughts.

Shen Jiayan leaned down and picked up the black cat. He subconsciously asked the most genuine thought in his heart, “System, will I ever be able to see him again?”

The black cat was silent for a long time before rubbing its head against Shen Jiayan: “Sir Host, you know that is impossible.”

Shen Jiayan pursed his lips and his mood suddenly became downcast.

“Sir Host, let’s settle the task!” The black cat considerately changed the topic, “Your Main Mission: Alter Fan Yin’s and Su Yun’s ending together, complete. Hidden Mission: Make Fan Yin fall in love with Su Yichen, complete. Hidden Mission: Oppress Su Yun, complete. Mission Completion: SS Rank, Points Acquired: 24,000(20% bonus).”

Only, against the black cat’s expectations, in spite of the points accumulated at this time, it still didn’t make Shen Jiayan happy.

This time, the black cat also had no methods of cheering him up.

But the moment the black cat lowered its head, it caught a glimpse of the mark on Shen Jiayan’s arm, “Sir Host, what is this? How can it come in here with you?”

Shen Jiayan pulled up his sleeves and became shocked to see that he still had the imprint of an orchid on his arm.

Shen Jiayan was also somewhat at a loss, “This is the space I share with Fan Yin. But how can it still be here? Isn’t it that anything from any world will disappear after returning here?”

The black cat hesitantly pressed on the mark with its paw, “Sir Host, this may be some kind of treasure. That must be why it was able to pass through the boundary and enter here.”

Hearing this, Shen Jiayan’s eyes suddenly brightened. He grabbed the black cat’s paw, “System, Fan Yin, he also has such an imprint! If the imprint is still with me, then shouldn’t his mark also be still with him? Then will I be able to find him through this imprint?”

The black cat couldn’t bear to strike down Shen Jiayan’s hopes, however, it still had no choice but to pour cold water on him, “Sir Host, even if Fan Yin had an imprint like this, how can you be certain that he will go to the same world as you?”

Shen Jiayan’s eyes slightly darkened, but they soon were filled with determination, “Nevertheless, we still have to test it out to find out. System, let’s receive the next client!”

The black cat still wanted to say something, but finally gave up on persuading him.

“Sir Host, you acquired 6,000 points in the first world, 8,000 points in the second world, 12,000 points in the third world and 24,000 points in the fourth world. Currently, you have exactly 50,000 points, which meets the requirements to open the higher dimension. After you open the higher dimension, you will receive more points but it will also be more dangerous. Will you open it?”

Shen Jiayan still understood that sharpening the axe won’t make splitting wood take longer2.

“Okay.” The black cat lightly waved its paws, “Then we’ll receive the fifth client now.”

This fifth employer looked like a Chinese porcelain doll.

The pure black hair was soft and smooth, comfortably hanging down near his ears. The eyes had an extreme resemblance to peach blossom eyes but were a bit rounder, a bit less charming and had a bit more of a child’s innocence.

It could be said that this client’s appearance was able to let everyone have a good impression of him.

But this client was actually keeping himself unusually quiet. From the time he entered until now, he had never said a word. He only bowed his head quietly, with an air of melancholy around him.

Shen Jiayan couldn’t help but start asking, “Is there anything I can do to help you?”

The client raised his eyes and looked at Shen Jiayan for a long time. Finally, he lowered his eyes, his eyelashing drooping low.  Stumbling with his words a bit, he said, “Bai Tian. Doesn’t. Want. Me. He— regret.”

“Do you mean that Bai Tian doesn’t want you anymore, so you hope that he will regret it?” Even if Shen Jiayan was duller, he could still see that this client was somewhat different. He seemed to be… somewhat autistic?

The client nodded his head and struggled for a while. Then he softly said, “Hope. Like. Go. End. Game.”

Shen Jiayan continued surmising, “You hope that Bai Tian continues to like you? You also hope that you can reach the end of the game?”

The client shook his head. He flattened his mouth and moisture appeared in his eyes, “Not. Bai Tian. Want. Everyone.”

“You don’t want Bai Tian to like you, but you want everyone to like you?” Shen Jiayan handed over a tissue. According to the few words said by the client, he understood what he meant.

The client rubbed his own eyes red and nodded his head again.

“Alright, I got it. I will try to help you achieve your wish. It’s just that you need to pay a certain price. You……” The words were on the tip of Shen Jiayan’s tongue, but he changed his mind in the middle, “Forget it, there’s no need for it. You can leave now.”

The client blankly looked at Shen Jiayan for quite a while and eventually understood what was going on. He insisted, “Want.”

Shen Jiayan smiled at this client and turned his face to the side, “Then give me a kiss and it’ll be regarded as the remuneration, okay?”

The client leaned over very seriously and kissed Shen Jiayan hard on the face. The kissed Shen Jiayan now had saliva on his face.

After the client left, the black cat came out of the corner and jumped onto Shen Jiayan’s knee, “Sir Host, the plane you are going to is an interstellar plane. If you don’t have any golden finger added, it would be somewhat difficult. You are too impulsive.”

Footnotes

Sir Host – I changed how the black cat calls Shen Jiayan. In previous arcs, the cat had always called SJY Host-daren which is like Host-sama. “sharpening the axe won’t make splitting wood take longer”(磨刀不误砍柴工) – an idiom. Figurative meaning: time invested in preparations is not lost. Another idiom for this is “a beard well lathered is half shaved.”
