Chapter 51: The Son Of A Conglomerate (Arc 2)

When Feng Yongrui opened his eyes again, he found himself in an empty white void. Feng Yongrui blinked a few times and adjusted to his surroundings. He felt weird when he realized his hair was not long like before.

"System, where am I?" Feng Yongrui asked. The System was silent for a few seconds before it spoke.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing the task in the first world~ You have been awarded 100,000 points..." the System said happily.

Feng Yongrui was also ecstatic and he opened his profile to check his points. Now he had 101,752 points and 7 lucky draws.

"Host, would you like to buy anything from the System Mall? Or would you like to buy something from the Reward Section before going to the next world?" the System asked.

Feng Yongrui pondered for a moment. He was indeed tempted to buy some sort of skill or attribute from the Rewards Section, but Feng Yongrui had no idea what the next world would be like.

"System, what if I want to buy my reward when we're in the second world? Will that be okay?" Feng Yongrui asked.

The System replied with an affirmative.

"In that case, I don't want to buy anything now. I'll just go to the next world and buy anything if I need it," Feng Yongrui said.

"Understood, Host. Are you ready?" Without waiting for his reply, the System began speaking again.

"Initiating..."

Feng Yongrui shut his eyes instinctively. He felt like he was riding a roller coaster that was bumping here and there. Finally the shaking stopped and Feng Yongrui's queasiness disappeared.

"Host, please take a look at the information first," the System said. "You have arrived in the next world, but the process of transferring you into the body is still in progress."

"Oh, that's alright. I'm just glad you didn't lose the information regarding the world this time," Feng Yongrui said somewhat sarcastically.

Feng Yongrui read the information displayed before him. This time, he was transferred into a modern world.

In this world, the protagonist was named Yin Longshen. He was born as the illegitimate son of a conglomerate named Yin Qiushan.

The Yin family was a rich and affluent family who owned many companies and often invested in projects that were worth billions. This Yin Qiushan already had a wife named Zhong Baozhai, but he actually had an affair, resulting in the birth of Yin Longshen.

Yin Longshen's mother gave birth to him secretly and raised him for 7 years, before passing away due to an illness. At that time, Yin Qiushan discovered the existence of his illegitimate son and decided to bring him to his house.

The five year old Yin Longshen was brought to the Yin family, where he was treated poorly by the servants and by Zhao Baozhai. Of course, to Zhao Baozhai, Yin Longshen's existence was a thorn in her eye.

The innocent Yin Longshen suffered terribly in the Yin family -- he was treated with contempt by the servants and oppressed by Zhao Baozhai. However, he was a kindhearted and meek boy by nature and did not hate his new family. He was only seven years old -- he simply longed for the warmth of a family.

But when Yin Longshen turned 10 years old, Zhao Baozhai could not stand his existence anymore. She ordered the butler who usually served by Yin Longshen's side to push him down a flight of stairs.

Zhao Baozhai wanted to end his life once and for all. But of course, he was the protagonist, so he did not die. Instead, he became crippled and was bound to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Zhao Baozhai did not achieve her purpose, but she was satisfied. After all, what could a cripple do? That was what she thought.

However, this incident made Yin Longshen furious. He finally blackened and swore revenge on the Yin family. He remained low-key for several years, putting on his meek and gentle facade.

He was subservient to his stepmother, Zhao Baozhai, and he seemed like he had little to no ambition.

In reality, though, Yin Longshen had already built a money empire all on his own. He became a business tycoon and built his own assets from scratch, gathering his own power and subordinates.

When he turned 20, Yin Longshen was already the richest businessman in the country and one of the top five richest people in the entire world. At this time, Yin Longshen finally exposed his claws and extracted his revenge on the Yin family.

He toppled his father's business and forced Zhao Baozhai and her family to become poor and destitute. In short, he had his revenge and lived happily ever after as a rich and influential person.

The rest of his life went smoothly and he trampled on anyone who dared to get in his way -- it was a typical face-slapping, weak-to-strong kind of setting.

As for Feng Yongrui...

"Host, since this System accidentally lost the information regarding the previous world, this System has decided to give you compensation in this world," the System said coldly.

Feng Yongrui was intrigued. Did the System finally have a conscience? It was going to compensate him?

"How will you compensate me?" Feng Yongrui asked.

"Well, the task of this world is very easy. You will become the butler who pushed Yin Longshen down a flight of stairs. Once that task is done, you will get your reward and go to the next world," the System said.

"Huh... so simple?" Feng Yongrui was in disbelief.

"Of course~ I've even given you free access to the course on 'How To Push Someone Down A Flight Of Stairs Without Killing Them 101'. You can access the course anytime and start practicing," the System said cheerfully.

Feng Yongrui: "..."

"And what would I need that course for, hm?"

"Well, Host, you need to be able to execute your task perfectly... But pushing someone requires technique, skill, and innate talent. You need to be able to take into account the angle, the force of the push, the gravitational force, and the opposing forces that are related. Also --"

"Stop, stop..." Feng Yongrui shook his head. The System's barrage of words were making him dizzy.

"Anyway, you said I have to push the protagonist down the stairs, right? But... isn't he just 7 years old? I feel kinda bad..." Feng Yongrui muttered.

"Host, are you chickening out on this task, hm?" the System cried indignantly.

"I even chose to give you this task because it's so simple. All you need to do is make the protagonist blacken... And to do that, you just need to push him!"

Sensing Feng Yongrui's reluctance, the System softened its attitude.

"Host, think of it like this. If the protagonist doesn't blacken, then he will forever live as a meek person. He will never reach the peak of his life. He'll only be oppressed and use by others..."

"Also, if you fail the task, this world will collapse, Host. When a world collapses, what do you think will happen to all the people in that world? They will cease to exist!"

"Just keep calm, Host. You can just tell yourself that you're doing this for the sake of the protagonist..."

Feng Yongrui heaved a long sigh. He wasn't some sort of saint either, but he had his own integrity and moral code. When the System said it like that, then he couldn't help but be persuaded.

After all, if he failed his task, this world would collapse completely, and the people would not exist anymore... Feng Yongrui persuaded himself that he was doing the right thing.

"Host, the transferring process is complete. Please open your eyes," the System said cheerily.

Feng Yongrui was also excited because this world seemed pretty easy. He opened his eyes and then froze.

Uhm. Was that the ceiling?

He must've been lying on the bed. Feng Yongrui struggled to get up and sit down, but he failed.

Feng Yongrui was stunned. What just happened?

He moved his hands, intending to push himself up, but he failed to sit up again. Feng Yongrui started to panic, and he moved his hands around, trying to grope for something or anything.

However, the only thing he could see was a brightly lit ceiling and a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. When he moved his head, the bright light from the ceiling pierced his eyes and made him flinch.

Instinctively, Feng Yongrui moved his hands to block the light... But then he gaped at what he saw.

Is that... his hand??

Why was it so small?!

He wriggled his fingers and the chubby short fingers in front of him moved as well. Feng Yongrui felt like he was doused with cold water and he lay motionless.

"...System."

"H-haha... Host..."

"...System," this time he said with gritted teeth.

"H-host, today is a beautiful day... L-let's not spoil the mood, okay?" the System's voice was slightly trembling.

"Hurry up and tell me what's wrong!" Feng Yongrui couldn't take it anymore and roared.

"You better come clean and tell me what happened, or else..."

"H-host, calm down okay?" the System cried.

"There was a mistake... and you were transferred into the wrong person, hehe~"

Feng Yongrui: "..."

"So right now, I'm not the butler who pushed down the protagonist, right?" Feng Yongrui confirmed.

"That's right. Host, now you are Zhao Baozhai's 5-month old son, Yin Yongrui."

Feng Yongrui: "..."

***

Feng Yongrui: Finally! This world will be easy~

System: Ahaha....

Feng Yongrui: *shivers* I hope nothing goes wrong...

System: You just jinxed yourself.

For some reason, Zhao Baozhai reminds this author of bok choy... What food do you like to eat and what traditional food (from your country) do you like, that others may not know or like?
