The male supporting character was actually myself.

There was even a female mage who was repeatedly stabbed by Tian Nanxing with a novice wooden sword and was eventually knocked away, almost falling off the PK stage.

"Waaaaah... You're bullying me like this! How could you treat a girl like this!" The female mage fell to the ground, threw down her staff, and started crying.

Jiang Chen: ...

"If you're not as skilled as others, just admit defeat and stop bringing up gender!" A cool, pleasant voice came from the other side of the PK stage.

He looked in that direction and, lo and behold, it was someone he knew!

Midsummer Night frowned slightly and continued, "Although you are both magic users, your combat awareness is far inferior to that of Qian Yue Qing Ge."

They knew to retreat and create distance as soon as they came in.

Everyone knows that ranged French heroes are fragile.

You lost the initiative as soon as you stepped onto the stage;

When someone gets close, they feel the pain and try to create distance by exchanging blows.

What about you? You turned and ran, looking neither at what was in front nor behind. No wonder you got beaten up!

The female mage, sitting on the ground sobbing, her face flushed, stood up and glared at Zhong Xia Ye, "What's it to you!"

"This wasn't originally my business," Midsummer Night glared back, "but you brought up gender after you lost, it's disgusting!"

What's wrong with the girl?

If you don't know how to operate it, practice more.

You can learn how to PK if you don't know how.

If all else fails, have some self-awareness, focus on leveling up and enjoying the scenery, and avoid PvP battles.

There are too many people like you who have no ability but still try to take advantage of others because of their looks.

This has led to many players in the game refusing to team up with us for dungeons because they see girls!

"Exactly! Our skills aren't bad either."

"When I want to team up for dungeons, many teams explicitly state that they don't want girls joining their dungeons, which is really unfair."

"It's as if we can't contribute anything..."

……

Midsummer Night's words garnered support from many female players in the audience. Jiang Chen waved to one of them, "Beautiful lady, would you like to join our guild?"

She turned around and earnestly showed off her ID prefix, "Thank you for the invitation, but I'm the leader of the Yanyu Zhai guild!"

Jiang Chen glanced at the gang rankings and saw that Yan Yu Zhai was ranked ninth.

It's quite a powerful gang.

[Private message in Treasure Pavilion: Midsummer Night: Sorry, I had some things to take care of and it took me a while, so I'm late. Do you still have the equipment?]

Just as the player who had been lingering on stage shouting that he was bullying girls stepped down, Jiang Chen saw a private message from the Treasure Pavilion.

[Private message from Treasure Pavilion: Anonymous: Yes, are you still buying?]

[Private message in Treasure Pavilion: Midsummer Night: Please unlock it, I'll trade right away.]

Jiang Chen unlocked the locked, priceless necklace, and sure enough, the other party bought it immediately.

It's unclear how they resolved their differences, but judging from Midsummer Night's equipment, she's only missing the necklace, so it's likely that Qiao Jie returned it when she logged in.

He stopped paying attention and continued with the next part of the "recruitment".

Under deliberate control, the Crimson Killer Society eventually welcomed forty-nine new members.

The number of people in each profession is roughly the same, with slightly more in the medical field.

Ensure that teams can form various formations, whether they are clearing dungeons or participating in city battles, and can be commanded in a coordinated and orderly manner.

After the Kunlun Terrace PK ended, the buzz surrounding the paid recruitment by the Crimson Slayer Society quickly faded from the world channel.

With hundreds of thousands of players online at a time, the world chat is refreshed rapidly, and unless it's a shocking piece of news, it's quickly suppressed.

Dozens of people stood in rows, and Jiang Chen adjusted the camera so that Mu Heng could take a group photo with all the gang members.

A handsome, fair-skinned man sits atop a majestic azure dragon.

Dozens of gang members, arranged in an orderly fashion according to their professions, struck a battle stance that was sure to get anyone's blood pumping.

"Today is the 6th. Although it's a few days short, it's still considered full attendance." After taking a group photo, Jiang Chen spoke first, "The boss said that we'll get paid on the 15th of next month."

Bonuses will be distributed along with the base salary based on gang contribution data.

"Thank you, Guild Leader!" The players all made heart shapes with their hands to Guild Leader Luo Mu Xiao Xiao.

Mu Heng blushed instantly, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, "No, no need to thank me... Um, everyone, keep up the good work in the future!"

Knowing he wouldn't say anything polite, Jiang Chen continued, "Let's call it a day now, everyone go do what you need to do."

Let's communicate more in the guild channel from now on. There's a wild boss spawning tonight, let's practice and try to get it.

We'll meet at 7:30 PM. Remember not to mute gang messages.

After the gang dispersed, it was noon.

Jiang Chen took off his helmet, sat up on the bed, and stretched his body. "This mission world is much simpler."

Online games are all about killing whoever you want; it's more fun to fight back than to scheme and plot.

"Host is having a blast playing games, all I can do is watch and be envious." The little white cat said listlessly.

It's such a shame that I can only watch my host being cool and excited in the game, but I can't join in and take off with him.

"It's a pity I don't have any special status in this world, and I doubt the technology can create a game helmet that cats can use, so you can only look on." Jiang Chen glanced at the fluffy ball of fur that was casually licking its paws, rubbed his temples, and casually asked, "How's your performance going?"

I'll work hard on the tasks. If you do well, maybe you can apply to the main system for a game item that can be used anywhere.

Little White licked its paws and shook its head. "Impossible. The main system has no feelings at all. You can't negotiate with it."

"Have you seen the main system?" Jiang Chen continued to probe.

Chapter Seventeen: Ready to Showdown

The unsuspecting white cat replied frankly, "Of course not."

"Then how do you know there's a main system? After all, even you, as an auxiliary system, have feelings and thoughts. How could the main system be devoid of feelings and inferior to you?"

Little white cat: (O_O)?

What you said, host, makes so much sense!

"But... the main system really exists." The fluffy little ball scratched its little feet for a while, then stammered, "I can't explain it to you clearly, after all, I'm just a system."

Although I have never seen the main system, I can sense its existence.

Like air, it's invisible and intangible, yet it exists!

Jiang Chen calmly drank his water, casually tossing it a bag of dried fish, wondering if the so-called main system was some kind of law.

"By the way, is your system forum lively? Are there many hosts like me?"

Xiao Bai tore open a dried fish and stuffed it into his mouth, his cheeks bulging as he mumbled, "There are many hosts, but almost none like you."

The host I chose is so great! He's both scholarly and martial, and he's always diligent and conscientious in completing tasks, never causing any trouble!

The forum hasn't been very active lately.

It's all because the system next door was destroyed.

It's really pitiful, really.

When we first met, the system next door was smugly telling me that its host was named 'Qin Rufeng,' which sounded like someone extraordinary and would definitely be able to help it take off.

As a result, it even took off, taking it straight to its burial!

Qin Rufeng?

Jiang Chen's pupils shrank immediately. Could it be a coincidence of having the same name?

"Oh right, the system next door was punished by the main system for revealing its host's name to me!" Little White chewed on a dried fish and said indistinctly, "Hehe, luckily I was smart enough not to tell it the host's name, otherwise I would have been punished too!"

Listening to the complaints from the experts on the forum, it seems that hosts like you are rare.

Most hosts will resist in various ways when they enter their first mission world.

There are too many people who attempt suicide, give up on themselves, or have violent tendencies.

However, most people find they can't get rid of it after a while, so they just accept their fate.

Some people refuse to accept their fate and are determined to die, thinking that death will allow them to return to the real world. In the end, they do too many suicides and are directly switched to hell mode at the start. Not only are the mission worlds extremely difficult, but the script also arranges for them to die tragically. They suffer a lot and do not accumulate enough medals, thus losing the chance to be reborn.

However, under normal circumstances, the host will not affect the auxiliary system.

The system next door was just unlucky; it encountered an excessively self-destructive host, which led to its destruction.

The big shots are all trembling with fear, afraid that if the host's performance isn't up to par, the main system will be dissatisfied and destroy them too..."

Was it really destroyed because of performance targets?

Jiang Chen had a big question mark in his mind. Perhaps it was related to the fact that it had revealed the host's name?

Or, if it really is that guy...

"You're really lucky to have met me." He casually changed the subject, chuckling lightly, "I remember you said that you chose me?"

The little white cat's face lit up at the mention of this.

"Of course! Every auxiliary system, once it is created, selects a host from the database to bind to, then enters a dormant state and waits for the host to die before it can be brought to the mission world."

Back then, I was in the database, and photos flashed by on the big screen.

I took a liking to the host at first sight!

Without hesitation, it slapped down with its paw and chose to bind itself to its host.

Hehehe, it turns out that luck is indeed a part of ability! Now, thanks to my host, I've become quite famous on the forum!

Was it really his own choice?

Or perhaps, it's just something they believe they "chosen themselves"...

Jiang Chen casually opened the window, and a gentle breeze carrying the unique scent of early summer rushed into the room.
