The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully eliminating a male protagonist with good fortune! You have obtained the male protagonist rank (green)! You have also obtained 10 attribute cards (adding 1 random attribute point), 10 skill level cards (increasing a random skill by 1 level), 10 assassins, the special passive skill "Poison Immunity" (no level requirement), 1 "Great Fortune", and 1 "Dream Pill"!]

Upon hearing the system's sudden notification, Ye Linyuan's facial muscles twitched involuntarily.

So the only way to gain the male lead's luck is to completely kill him?

So all that thinking I'd gained some of the male lead's luck was just my delusion?

If I had known this would happen, I would have just killed them myself. Why did I put myself in such danger and even lose a scapegoat?

But then again, the reward is really generous!

Leaving aside the two "Great Fortune Awakens" and "Dream Profound Pill" and the ten assassins, the special passive skill "Poison Immunity" alone was enough to make him very satisfied.

With this skill, I no longer have to worry about being drugged!

But why do I feel a little disappointed...?

[Ding, Host, obtaining the male lead's status completely is not something that can be achieved overnight. You must first continuously reduce his own luck. During this period, the luck that originally belonged to the male lead will gradually flow to you. Only after the original male lead dies will his status as the male lead be transferred to you. Therefore, your previous actions were not in vain.]

[Moreover, haven't you noticed, host, that before today, even though you tried to kill Pei Sijing many times, he always managed to escape death and was never truly killed? This is because his status as the male protagonist is still intact, and his own luck has not completely dissipated.]

[Before the host's luck completely runs out, no matter how the host targets the male protagonist, he will always escape for various reasons, or even turn misfortune into good fortune.]

Hearing the system's sudden explanation, Ye Linyuan was stunned for a moment, and a stiff smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

It's very simple. He originally thought his system was very mechanical, only allowing him to sign in, without any other functions.

Even when he first obtained the system, he tried to confirm whether the system had intelligence or something similar to a system spirit.

The result was touching. He had spent a lot of time fiddling with it, but the system didn't produce a single sound. So at the time, he thought his system was just a simple system without any trace of intelligence.

Now, the system that he had judged to be a robot has suddenly been able to speak. How could this not surprise him?

After thinking for a moment, Ye Linyuan said to himself.

"Tongzi, are you there?"

[Ding, back to host, this system spirit is here.]

Upon hearing this voice, Ye Linyuan realized that his system had developed a so-called system spirit due to Pei Sijing's death, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

[Please rest assured, host. This system is a system spirit of the sign-in system, created specifically to answer your questions. Everything is based on your will as the highest principle, and it would never do anything as outrageous as betraying you!]

[It should also be noted that the reason this system spirit has revived is because the host has acquired the male protagonist's status, although it is only the lowest level, the green male protagonist status. However, this has already reached the point where the system spirit can initially communicate with the host.]

Ye Linyuan nodded to himself, then asked the system.

"System Spirit, let me ask you this: you just said I obtained the lowest level, Green Male Lead Rank. What's the rank above Green Male Lead Rank?"

[Ding, back to host. The male protagonist's rank is divided into seven levels, from lowest to highest: green, blue, purple, pink, red, orange, and gold.]

[Gold, for example, only exists in extremely grand worldviews. For instance, if the three parts of the "Covering the Sky" trilogy in the host's memories truly exist, then the three male protagonists, Huang Ye and Chu, would be at the gold level.]

[Red and orange, theoretically, should only exist in worldviews featuring extraordinary powers, such as cultivation of immortality or fantasy.]

[The purple and pink male protagonist archetypes only exist in worlds with high-level martial arts or low-level cultivation/fantasy settings.]

[In a typical urban world like the one the host currently inhabits, the highest possible male protagonist rank is only blue. Therefore, the host's current green male protagonist rank is already second only to the highest-ranking blue male protagonist rank in this world.]

Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan nodded to himself, and at the same time, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

He didn't have any grand ambitions to transcend all the heavens and worlds; he just wanted to live out his life peacefully and didn't want anything else. So, for him, the ordinary urban world was the most suitable.

"By the way, System, I know about the male protagonist's rank, skill cards, and attribute cards. But what about the 10 assassins, the 'Great Fortune' one, and the 'Dream Profound Pill' that are the rewards later? And how do I use them?"

[Ding, replying to host: So-called suicide soldiers are those who act according to the host's will. They will fight to the death to complete any task given by the host and will never betray the host. To use these 10 suicide soldiers, the host only needs to silently recite their command, and they will automatically contact the host and await their orders.]

[The "Great Fortune" ability allows the host to experience a sudden surge in luck within a short period. Over the following period, the host's luck will gradually increase until it reaches its peak, granting them a great opportunity.]

[The final Dream Profound Pill is a miraculous pill said to be able to drive even those considered powerful in the cultivation world mad. Its specific effects are unknown to this system and must be explored by the host.]

Listening to the system's explanation of the Dream Profound Pill, Ye Linyuan's expression became slightly strange.

He seemed to have a clue what kind of elixir it was.

If I remember correctly, this thing's real name is "Aphrodisiac," and its creator is a certain seemingly innocent but actually cunning young man surnamed Bai...

In the world of cultivation, this thing might at most be considered an aphrodisiac. But in this urban world where there's not much supernatural power, well, if you actually use it, the effects will probably still be there even after you're dead.

Even if you put the corpse in the ground, the living creatures around it might enter a state of estrus for a long time!

That's a truly devastating weapon!

However, just because this thing isn't suitable for use within China doesn't mean it can't be used abroad...

For example, the country of Chihiro, where a certain industry is particularly developed...

"System Spirit, use 'Great Fortune Awaits the Heavens,' then use up all the attribute cards and skill cards I have, and summon all 10 assassins as well!"

[Ding, received! "Great Fortune Awaits" has been used. Now, using 14 attribute cards and 12 skill enhancement cards, summoning 10 elite warriors.]

[Ding, congratulations host, you have obtained...]
