“Xiao Shaoye, we’ve arrived.”


Song Xuanhe had just woken up. While still in a daze, he heard these words and subconsciously replied, “Where are we?”

“The Qing City Orphanage. This is all the information on Xiao Yuanmu and the orphanage director.”

Someone placed a hard-covered folder by Song Xuanhe’s side. By coincidence, it bumped into his fingers that were hanging by his leg. The feeling of the hard plastic made him frown. He felt befuddled like he hadn’t yet fully woken up. Song Xuanhe rubbed his temples and finally opened his eyes.

After getting a clear view of his surroundings, Song Xuanhe subconsciously rubbed his eyes. He turned to face an elite-looking, unfamiliar man, who was sitting by his side. He felt even more absent-minded as if he was still in a dream.

Seeing Song Xuanhe furrowing his brows and rubbing at his temples, the man said with concern, “Xiao Shaoye, do you not feel well?”

Song Xuanhe had yet to understand what was happening. He was just about to ask who the man was, when an extremely boorish voice suddenly sounded in his head: 【Enthusiastically celebrating Host’s successful fusion with the character, Song Xuanhe, from 《The President and His Seven Boyfriends》. You don’t have to pay $998 or even $888, all you need to do is follow the plot and say your lines, and you can take home Death-Seeking System Z48!”】

The voice stopped. Words emerged in Song Xuanhe’s mind——【On the way to the orphanage Assistant Zhang Chao collated all of the information pertaining to Xiao Yuanmu and handed it over to Song Xuanhe.

Only, when he thought about this youth who had already revealed a great talent for business, Zhang Chao still couldn’t help but try and persuade him, “Xiao Shaoye, Xiao Yuanmu is unable to discern between what’s good for him and what’s bad for him. You don’t have to haggle with him. After some time, he’ll naturally accept you.”

Song Xuanhe laughed coldly. There was a determination to win in his voice, “I’m not patient enough to wait for him to accept. This time, he has no choice but to accept.”

When Zhang Chao heard this, he sighed inwardly over this young master. He only hoped that he would be a bit more sensible. Xiao Shaoye liked to play around a little too much and was the type to get tired of the old and enamoured with the new. 】

Song Xuanhe widened his eyes. He didn’t pay attention to the words in his mind. Instead, he was surprised by the sudden silence around him. The car that had just been steadily driven had paused its movement. However, looking into the rear mirror, he could see that the driver was still in a driving position. Outside, it looked like someone had pressed pause on the pedestrians’ actions. Even the unfamiliar man next to him was frozen, staring at him with a concerned expression.

“Death-Seeking System…” Song Xuanhe repeated this once. There was dislike but also a sense of being at a loss in his tone, “You’re a Death-Seeking System named Death-Seeking?”

【You can change my name according to your tastes. Actually, my last host named me Er Shun, but I thought that it wasn’t dazzling enough, so I changed it into a name that had numbers and letters. Z48 not only suits my identity, but it also sounds very futuristic.】

There was too much wrong with these words. Song Xuanhe didn’t know from where he should start ridiculing it. Therefore, he just asked about proper matters, “Why did I transmigrate into this book? Also, why do I have to complete the mission you’ve given me?”

Transmigrating, or transmigrating into a book, wasn’t a new concept to Song Xuanhe, who often liked to read books in his spare time. From historical texts, to astronomy, to domestic and foreign classics, to even the multifarious types of online texts— he would not refuse to read any of them. So long as he had the time, it was fine.
