The male supporting character was actually myself.

"How about this one?" The little white cat had already digested the wild system and had become a bit fatter than before, looking even more fluffy and round. It stretched out its short paw and patted the script next to it. "Look at this one, the cover has a beautiful landscape, it's probably a farming novel."

"Meow~ That one looks pretty good too. There's a cute foodie girl on the cover."

"Hmm...this one seems alright too. Host, look how cool that ferocious beast is..."

…………

The fluffy dumpling introduced all the scripts she thought were pretty good, automatically skipping over those unfinished works that didn't even have covers.

If a good script with a complete story isn't chosen, who would choose a piece of junk with a disjointed outline?

“I think this one looks pretty good.” Jiang Chen took one of the scripts it pointed out. “Look, it looks pretty cool.”

The cover features a long sword falling from the sky, creating a powerful visual impact that seems to convey the aura of a sword capable of cutting down anything.

The fluffy little thing bounced onto his shoulder and meowed impatiently, "Quick, let's see how our starting position is!"

This is a story about cultivating immortality.

The male protagonist, Lin Xucheng, was originally an ordinary disciple of the Lingxiao Sect.

Like the protagonists in many stories, his path to immortality was rugged and arduous.

But Lin Xucheng has a dazzling protagonist aura, and he is always surrounded by all sorts of beautiful women.

When he needed it, the gentle, considerate, and understanding fairies would provide him with all the resources he needed free of charge. Even a certain sect's holy maiden would give away her sect's most treasured artifact to Lin Xucheng to strengthen her sect, completely disregarding the fact that her own sect would fall into ruin due to the loss of its most precious artifact.

As the Best Supporting Actor, Liu Jiangchen has a special role this time—he is an alchemist, a character extremely rare in the entire script.

In the mission world set by the script team, the conditions for becoming an alchemist are harsh, and even the male protagonist Lin Xucheng does not have such talent.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Liu Jiangchen, this undisputed prodigy, played the role of a tool for the unlimited supply of pills.

Whether it's the male lead undergoing a tribulation, being seriously injured after a fierce battle and needing treatment, or needing certain medications in some situation, the best supporting actor is always there to secretly provide strong support.

Even when the male protagonist Lin Xucheng's romantic entanglements outside led to an attack on his sect, Liu Jiangchen was forced to step in to resolve the hatred.

After the conflict, the fairies who stormed the sect were still entangled with Lin Xucheng, unable to break free. Liu Jiangchen, who had to shoulder everything alone, could only hide away to heal and lick his wounds. If a similar situation were to occur again, he would still be a scapegoat.

However, the Best Supporting Actor Liu Jiangchen and the male lead Lin Xucheng have virtually no connection and are not even very familiar with each other.

The pills he gave away were all for his beloved—the big fish in the male protagonist Lin Xucheng's fishpond, and Zhou Zhixue, the famous junior sister of Lingxiao Sect.

The best supporting actor in the script truly embodied the ultimate form of a simp. Knowing that the girl he liked was willingly fawning over Lin Xucheng, he still fawned over her without complaint, even going so far as to fawn over Zhou Zhixue's lover as well...

Not only did Liu Jiangchen contribute various elixirs to help Lin Xucheng smoothly advance to the Tribulation Transcending stage, but she also gave the Tribulation Transcending Pill, which was so rare in the entire script, to the male lead through her junior sister Zhou Zhixue, allowing him to successfully pass the Heavenly Tribulation and become the only immortal to ascend to heaven in millions of years on the Fenglan Continent.

After completing his supporting role, Best Supporting Actor Liu Jiangchen's soul was completely annihilated in a failed lightning tribulation.

"Holy crap, the male lead, Aquaman, really got away with it all, leaving none of the fish behind!" Fluffy Meow stared in disbelief after reading all sorts of love stories and indescribable tales. "Aquaman's Leveling Up Adventure?"

To me, the Best Supporting Actor is the real love!

Aside from all the other miscellaneous stuff, the ones who saved the male lead at crucial moments were all provided by the best supporting actor.

Jiang Chen patted the script, shook his head, and laughed: "In the past, cultivators were all virtuous and immortal, taking it upon themselves to save the world, accumulate merit, and ascend to immortality. But nowadays... these old monsters who have lived for tens of thousands of years are all like overgrown babies, completely ignorant of everything."

However, the scriptwriters did a pretty good job portraying the female leads this time: a pure and lively junior sister, a charming and alluring little vixen, an icy beauty saintess, a graceful and elegant sect leader… The male lead, moving among them, wasn't drained or caused any dramatic love triangles; he's truly a gifted genius!

"Oh ho ho, they used to be called immortals, but now in the stories they make up..." The fluffy dumpling stuck out its tongue and said with a slight sarcasm, "They're all just immortals now!"

If they don't have money to buy things, they'll find an excuse to ambush; murder and robbery are commonplace for them.

Look at this protagonist, Lin Xucheng. In his pursuit of a breakthrough, he drained the spiritual ice crystals from the core of an entire city's formation. He did become stronger, but he completely destroyed the lifeblood of that city!

The script clearly states that the crystallized spirit ice at the core of the formation is a magical artifact for balancing the underground flames. After he drained it and ran away, how many people in that city would die from the scorching heat of the underground fire?

"Someone with this kind of character can become an immortal? Hey!"

The little white cat, after giving a disdainful look and cursing, immediately changed its expression and switched to a mode of showering praise, "However, my host will definitely handle the protagonist of the sea king, at least he won't be a long-term runner-up and end up as cannon fodder."

The storyline is being integrated; the host is preparing to merge into the world...

3, 2, 1, let's go!

As the light curtain disappeared, Jiang Chen found himself standing in front of an ancient, ethereal mountain gate.

Standing face to face is a quirky beauty with a pair of bright, expressive eyes; she is none other than Zhou Zhixue, the beloved junior sister of the entire Xiaoyao Sect.

Not far behind her stood a tall, handsome figure, his white robes stained with blood, struggling to stay upright by supporting himself with his longsword. This was none other than the radiant Lin Xucheng.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is really rare! The protagonist is so miserable at the beginning, why am I so happy, hahaha..." The fluffy ball glanced at it and laughed so hard that it almost fell over.

This scene seemed familiar, just like a classic shot from a blockbuster movie.

Best Supporting Actor Liu Jiangchen stood at the lowest point of the mountain gate, facing Zhou Zhixue; the seriously injured male lead Lin Xucheng stood on a slightly higher part of the steep stone steps, surrounded by many fellow disciples dressed in the white uniforms of the Xiaoyao Sect, watching the spectacle.

Jiang Chen had a feeling that Lin Xucheng was about to retort at any moment, "I won't beg him! I'd rather die than take the pills you begged for!"

"Senior Brother Liu, you're the best!" Zhou Zhixue clearly knew her advantages. When she started to act coquettishly, her bright eyes blinked and looked around, making her very endearing. She pouted and said with a sob in her voice, "Senior Brother Lin just escaped from the secret realm and was seriously injured."

I know that Senior Brother Liu has an extremely precious, top-grade Rejuvenating Pill. As long as Senior Brother Lin takes this pill, his injuries will definitely heal immediately, Senior Brother Liu…”

She gently bit her lip with her pearly teeth, her voice tinged with pitifulness, "Senior Brother Liu is the best, please take out the Rejuvenating Pill to heal Senior Brother Lin, okay?"

Those innocent, expectant eyes looked at him with slightly tearful eyes, reflecting the azure sky and his tall, upright figure in white.

"Host, the first task is for you to be a simp and give her the Rejuvenating Pill." The little white cat yawned and sneered, "The male lead just stands there watching, doesn't he feel ashamed!"

A gentle smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face. He nodded and took out a small jade bottle from his storage ring. Instantly, a pure spiritual energy spread out, causing the surrounding fellow cultivators to gasp in amazement.

"Wow! As expected of a top-grade pill refined by Senior Brother Liu, this one is extremely precious!"

"Such rich spiritual energy! Swallowing it will not only heal my wounds but also further enhance my magical power, right?"

"The alchemist can casually produce top-grade pills; he's truly generous!"

“Since Junior Sister Zhou has spoken, how can I refuse you?” Jiang Chen generously placed the jade bottle in her hand, still with a slight smile, and said, “For the sake of our friendship, I have to take it out even if I’m reluctant.”

"Thank you, Senior Brother Liu!" Zhou Zhixue felt the strong aura of the top-grade healing pills in the jade bottle and immediately beamed with joy. "Senior Brother Liu is truly the best!"

The fluffy dumpling glanced at it disdainfully, "Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. One million spirit stones have been deposited into your storage ring."

Jiang Chen watched as she happily opened the bottle to examine the medicine, a slight smile playing on his lips as he slowly said, "A top-grade Rejuvenating Pill would sell for one million spirit stones at auction. Since you are a fellow disciple who urgently needs it, I'll give you a discount."

"Junior Brother Lin, you just need to pay me 900,000 spirit stones. As usual, payment is due within three days, otherwise I'll have to apply to the Planning Hall to deduct your contribution points."

Zhou Zhixue: (キ｀?Д?')!!

Lin Xucheng: (???)

Nine hundred thousand spirit stones?

Why the hell don't you just rob someone?!

Ordinary disciples of the Lingxiao Sect only earn twenty or thirty spirit stones per mission, okay? You're asking for nine hundred thousand? Do you think I own a spirit vein mine?

"Pfft!" Shocked by the exorbitant price, Lin Xucheng, his mind unstable, spat out another mouthful of blood, feeling an even greater pain in his chest and a burning sensation throughout his body.

"Brother Lin!" In her haste, Zhou Zhixue called out the name she used when the two were whispering sweet nothings to each other, her eyes filled with heartache as she looked at her lover.

Clutching the jade bottle tightly in her hand, she turned around and glared at Jiang Chen, scolding, "I never expected that Senior Brother Liu would be such a greedy and opportunistic person!"

You...you stood by and watched someone die!

"It's just a pill, isn't it? You're a renowned alchemist on the Maple Orchid Continent; refining another one would be no problem for you. Why won't you save a life?"

"Huh? That's strange. Don't I need raw materials to refine pills? Don't I need to consume magic power and energy?"

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You're so high and mighty, then pay first before treating my lover's injuries. Why are you morally blackmailing me? He's not my lover, why should I waste top-grade pills to treat his injuries?"

"You, you..." Zhou Zhixue blushed to the roots of her neck, never expecting that her carefully concealed relationship would be exposed by him. She stammered and changed the subject, "Didn't you say that you would give me the pills because of our friendship?"

Jiang Chen looked around and asked, "Fellow disciples, who among you heard me say that I was going to give away pills to Junior Sister Zhou for free?"

The gossip spirit of the onlookers was burning brightly.

Who in the entire Xiaoyao Sect doesn't know that the genius alchemist Liu Jiangchen is in love with his junior sister Zhou Zhixue?

Not to mention the endless stream of pills and medicines he gave away, even when Zhou Zhixue went down the mountain to do a simple task, he would eagerly follow along, calling himself "protector."

Who would have thought that just this morning she heard that Liu Jiangchen had given her a rare thousand-year-old spirit mist tree, and now the two of them had broken up in less than half a day?

According to Liu Jiangchen... Zhou Zhixue had actually been having an affair with Lin Xucheng all along?!

It's truly unbelievable that the seemingly innocent junior sister is two-timing, keeping the alchemist on her toes while already having a fling with Lin Xucheng. I wonder if Liu Jiangchen, who's been pursuing her for so many years, has actually succeeded. If he didn't even get his first time, he's really lost out big time.

"I'm close enough to hear it clearly!" Immediately, a cultivator who loved watching the drama jumped out and loudly repeated, "What Senior Brother Liu said just now was: 'For the sake of our friendship, I have to take it out even if I'm reluctant.' He didn't say it was a free gift."

Jiang Chen nodded and explained, "We had a good relationship before and were somewhat acquainted, so considering this relationship, you urgently need the top-grade Rejuvenating Pill to save your lover, and as an alchemist, I happen to have this pill. It's already a big favor for me to agree to the trade."

Just for agreeing to the deal, you still have to find time to repay me.

After all, such high-level elixirs are extremely rare; you might not even find one at an auction.

"She actually thinks she can take such a precious pill for free? Has Junior Sister Zhou been indulging in too much pleasure and is now weakened? Why is she only thinking about such easy things falling from the sky?"

Zhou Zhixue, whose face was originally flushed with anger, turned pale instantly. The pure and lovely persona she had painstakingly established in the sect was destroyed without warning by Liu Jiangchen's few words!

Although what he said was true, he had already lost his virginity two months ago when he and his senior brother Lin watched shooting stars in the back mountain.

But this is a secret between the two of them, and there should be no one else who knows about it!

How could Liu Jiangchen be so clear about this and speak with such certainty?

She glanced nervously to her side. It was evening, and many of her fellow disciples who had gone down the mountain to do missions were returning one after another. The onlookers outside the mountain gate were looking at her with strange eyes, and Zhou Zhixue's heart was pounding.

Could it be that I suddenly received a text message from Senior Brother Lin today saying that he was seriously injured, and I was too worried about revealing my weakness to others?

But... but I often ask Liu Jiangchen for pills to give to my fellow disciples in order to gain popularity.

How come Ah Lin saw through my actions when I was trying to get medicine for him?

"Do you have spirit stones to buy top-grade Rejuvenation Pills?" Jiang Chen didn't want to waste time with them, so he urged, "If you don't have money and don't want to buy them, just say so. Don't waste my time."

Oh, by the way, Junior Brother Lin's injuries don't seem too serious.

If you don't have enough spirit stones, you can go to the sect's herbal medicine hall to see what cheaper pills are available; you can exchange them with contribution points. This top-grade Rejuvenating Pill can even save a Nascent Soul cultivator in a critical moment, so having such a pill is equivalent to having an extra life, and is naturally very valuable.

Giving you this medicine only to treat your injuries is a bit of a waste.

After saying that, he looked at the other party with a sincere expression and continued to mock him, "Of course, if Junior Brother Lin is rich and generous and willing to spend 900,000 spirit stones to buy a Rejuvenating Pill to heal his injuries, then pretend I didn't say anything before."

"Anyway, as long as I have the medicinal herbs, I can refine more Rejuvenating Pills."
