Chapter 1 – The First World 1

Chu Shici couldn’t remember how he died. He only remembered that one day, when he opened his eyes, he found himself in a pure white space.

On a stand in front of him stood a golden sphere wearing a single eyeglass.

The sphere introduced itself as the Fallen Male Lead Saving System, with the designation 2047.

Having just come out of the processing factory, it was currently in its internship period.

Chu Shici was chosen as its partner and together they would save the male lead and ultimately save the world.

Waking up from a nap, Chu Shici suddenly learned that the world was waiting for him to save it, leaving him feeling confused.

He asked the system, “Am I dead?”

The system leisurely sipped its tea and replied, “Died suddenly, very much dead.”

Chu Shici remained silent for a while, his expression serious. “Can I trouble you with something?”

The system made a sound of agreement.

“Please delete my browsing history. I’ve been under a lot of stress lately and often go to the flower market to eat meat.”

“What’s wrong with adults eating meat?” the system retorted.

“I have a heavy appetite.”

“Oh, I can’t delete it. I’m not very skilled,” the system admitted.

Chu Shici recalled the things he had seen and closed his eyes.

“Bury me. My face is thoroughly dead, so bury me separately.”

While the system continued to introduce the tasks in his ear, it talked a lot. Chu Shici summarized it all.

Basically, he had to use various means to revive the male lead who had fallen into despair and make him lively and energetic again.

2047 pulled out a document from its top hat and handed it to Chu Shici, saying it was the outline of the first task, the world’s novel. It would give him a rough understanding.

It was an ABO novel with a pure plot and no coupling. The setting was in a futuristic science fiction era.

The male lead, Su Zheyan, was a general in the Empire. The Empire stipulated that only alphas could join the military, but he was a beta.

During a mission, his beta identity was exposed. Overnight, he went from being a general to a criminal and was exiled to a desolate planet to fend for himself.

The novel unfolded from the perspective of the male lead, Su Zheyan, narrating his survival on the desolate1 planet where resources were scarce and criminals were rampant. In the end, he fought his way out, conquering all the alphas on the desolate planet.

Carving a path of blood, conquering all the alphas on the desolate planet.

He would establish his reign on the barren planet, lead an army to return to the Empire, overthrow the ABO hierarchy, and become the ruler of the entire star region.

Overall, it could be considered a satisfying face-slapping story.

Chu Shici shook his head after finishing reading. “He’s so cool, but I can’t compare.”

“What’s wrong?” the system asked.

“I also have a hot temper. I’m likely to get into fights with him.”

The system stared at him for a while.

Chu Shici was dressed in a white shirt and jeans, looking clean and neat, exuding youthful energy like a student who had just graduated from college.

Although he dyed his hair blond and had a cobra tattoo on his forearm, with a black hoop earring in his right ear, his eyes drooped at the corners, and he had a smile on his lips, possessing a harmless and likable face.

The system pushed up its glasses. “You seem pretty well-behaved.”

Chu Shici didn’t say anything, but his smile was particularly radiant.

His smile was infectious, and the system found itself laughing along, feeling a shiver down its spine.

As the mission began, Chu Shici suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes, and his consciousness became hazy.

When he regained consciousness, he had already left the pure white system space.

It was pitch black around him, with a small and cramped space, devoid of any ventilation.

Chu Shici raised his hand and felt around, encountering a cold and square object, like a metal box.

Had someone packed him up?

2047’s voice rang in his mind.

[Mission Background: Su Zheyan, the male lead who was exiled to the desolate planet after his gender was exposed, for unknown reasons, failed to rise quickly like in the original story. Instead, he fell into a slump and even contemplated suicide.]

[Main Mission: Save the male lead by helping Su Zheyan regain his confidence and return to being a positive and proactive protagonist. Current vitality: 5/100. When vitality is full, the mission will be completed. When vitality becomes negative, Su Zheyan will take his own life.]

[Note: Vitality is influenced by various factors, such as alleviating the male lead’s loneliness and despair, increasing intimacy with him, or making him feel happy and fulfilled, all of which can increase vitality.]

[Side Mission: Submit a report investigating the main reasons for the male lead’s despondency2 and provide relevant data to the headquarters.]

…

This is the third day since Su Zheyan arrived on the desolate planet.

The disposable capsule cabinet that brought him here was casually discarded on the planet.

The capsule cabinet was like a large sleeping bag with a lid. It could provide shelter from the wind and rain, and the alarm system could prevent monster attacks during the night.

Simple yet practical, it served as his home on the desolate planet.

Su Zheyan sat inside the capsule pod and took out an iron box from his backpack.

The iron box was not big, both hands could fit completely. The box had a silver-white color overall, with gold borders painted around it.

There were two lines of words on the box lid, but due to the passage of time, some of the paint had peeled off.

[Third-generation robotic doll – the best playmate for children.]

This was a birthday gift his father gave him when he was ten years old. After that, his father died in battle, igniting his desire for vengeance and the idea of disguising himself as an alpha and joining the military.

Just before being exiled to the desolate planet, there was a rebellion in the empire.

Taking advantage of the chaos, he stuffed this box into the capsule pod, leaving himself with a memento.

By now, the third-generation doll had long been outdated and completely immobile.

Su Zheyan was about to put the box back into his backpack when he suddenly heard a faint sound.

At the same time, the box in his hand started to shake.

Scratch, scratch, as if someone was scratching at the door.

He drew the dagger hidden in his military boots and cautiously unfastened the button on the side of the box.

With a snap, the box lid opened, and a platinum-colored robot sat up straight.

He grabbed the edge of the box and took deep breaths, just like a human covering his chest.

At the location where the mechanical head’s mouth should be, there was a golden rectangle, which was constantly opening and closing.

“Damn, I was suffocating! What kind of crappy box is this? It doesn’t even have a ventilation hole!”

Listening to the voice of the already powerless and scrapped mechanical figure speaking in a man’s voice, Su Zheyan narrowed his eyes.

Chu Shici breathed in the fresh air and felt alive again.

2047, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: “You don’t need to breathe.”

Chu Shici was taken aback. “Not breathe? That’s not scientific.”

“It’s specially scientific,” the system replied.

While conversing with the system, Chu Shici also surveyed his surroundings.

On the left was a black barrier, with faint light seeping in from above.

On the right was a fleshy object, somewhat pinkish, with dense patterns visible on it.

Chu Shici was intrigued by that thing. He stared at it for a while and tentatively reached out to touch it.

As soon as he got closer, the thing immediately disappeared.

Chu Shici widened his eyes in astonishment, and then something gleaming coldly pressed against his body. A magnetic male voice sounded above his head.

“Don’t move.”

Chu Shici assumed a defensive posture and looked up sharply.

It was a large creature, bending down to look at him.

The humanoid face was handsome, with pale skin, a high nose bridge, and neatly combed golden short hair.

The blue eyes were like deep lakes, calm and profound, devoid of any emotions.

Chu Shici and the creature locked eyes for a while before he said to the system, “You didn’t tell me this is a world of giants. The gap between me and the male lead is so huge that I’m worried about fighting… I can’t be friends with him.”

2047 nervously pushed up his single lens glasses. “Surprise!”

Chu Shici lowered his head to look at himself.

A platinum mechanical body, with mechanical legs equipped with small wheels, and metallic arms with a shiny surface. There was also a line of small words engraved on the arm.

“Mechanical Doll: Suitable for children aged 6-12.”

Chu Shici was stunned. He blinked his eyes. Does that mean he’s being expelled?

“The contract didn’t say that. You liar,” he said to the system.

“I’m sorry, I’ll make it up to you! Once you accumulate 80 vitality points, I’ll foot the bill and perform a transformation, making you fully human,” the system promised.

Chu Shici wanted to discuss further with the system, but once again, he heard Su Zheyan’s voice from above, “Move.”

Instinctively, he raised his head, and the male lead furrowed his brows slightly, his gaze vigilant.

Su Zheyan somehow produced an iron clamp and clamped Chu Shici’s head with it.

At the same time, he used a dagger to pry open Chu Shici’s chest. After prying it open, he took out a moldy battery from inside.

Chu Shici looked at the battery, then at Su Zheyan, and took a sharp breath.

Su Zheyan glanced at the battery, then at Chu Shici. “Move.”

Chu Shici struggled with the clamp, trying to snatch the battery back.

Su Zheyan’s expression momentarily blanked.

The system peeked out and said, “Moving without power, a paranormal event in the scientific world. You scared the male lead.”

Chu Shici kicked his legs and held the battery tightly to his chest, pulling with all his strength.

What a joke, can an electronic toy still function without a battery?

After struggling for a while, he realized he was still alive and well.

Chu Shici released his grip and fell back into the box.

He touched his empty chest and muttered to himself, “I’m truly amazing.”

A cold voice came from above, “Yes, truly amazing.”

Su Zheyan pressed the dagger against Chu Shici’s head, about to pry out his chip.

Chu Shici quickly held his head, “Big brother, it’s a misunderstanding! I just remembered that I’m actually a solar-powered model!”

Su Zheyan smirked and flicked his wrist, pointing the dagger at the sky.

Following his movement, Chu Shici looked up.

Damn! It’s a pitch-black sky.

Can I quickly attach a fan to my head and pretend to generate electricity with the wind?
