The male supporting character was actually myself.

Jiang Chen spent a happy, short, but legendary life accompanied by the ship girls.

As he aged, weakened, and lay dying, the ship girls, who were usually fond of joking and playing, sensed the distant call and merged into a goddess, whispering in his ear, "Captain, we are leaving."

Don't worry, we've always been by your side and have never left.

We'll see each other again soon!

The frail and elderly Jiang Chen struggled to reach out and stroke her flawless face, whispering, "Goodbye, goddess. I will go and bring you back..."

The goddess smiled sweetly and began to disappear as pixels.

Jiang Chen's hands fell heavily to his sides, and after exhaling his last breath, he peacefully closed his eyes.

The urgent alarm bell rang loudly in the ward.

Jiang Chen's soul fragments, along with the little white cat, passed through the hurried figures of doctors and nurses, disappearing into the vast sea and blue sky...

Just a second before he thought he was about to fall into darkness, the raft survival system suddenly beeped.

[Congratulations to player Jiang Chen for single-handedly protecting over 5% of the survivors, resulting in a final survival rate exceeding 60%. The "Peaceful Descent" achievement has been achieved, and additional rewards will be granted upon returning to the real world.]

The raft survival game is a special project of the Time and Space Administration.

Due to a parallel collision that occurred on December 21, XXXX, more than half of the population on Mercury perished in the impact.

To mitigate the losses, the Time and Space Administration launched a special project to collect human soul energy. Except for the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled who received special care, all other souls entered the game to compete for the right to survive.

Player Jiang Chen successfully switched the game mode to "Infrastructure Building," slowing down the intense collision of soul energy, ultimately allowing over 60% of the survivors to return to the real world.

The Time and Space Administration has adjusted the timeline, and player Jiang Chen is about to return to the real world...

[Main System Notification: Congratulations, host Jiang Chen, on passing the assessment. The main system will classify you into different levels based on your performance. Please continue your efforts to complete the task.]

The specific time for the assessment will be notified by the auxiliary system. Please wait patiently.

Chapter One: I know this trick well; the salesman makes a killing!

"Xiaobai, what does that last message mean?" Jiang Chen asked, completely bewildered, as soon as he returned to the script selection space.

After receiving the message notifications from the main system and the latest gossip from the forum, the fluffy dumpling explained, "Didn't I say before that both the host and the auxiliary system have assessments? If you fail, you will be eliminated and destroyed."

Preparations for the assessment, which will be conducted at the same time as the host, have already begun.

However, the specific time has not yet been determined.

The basic rule is that, based on the host's specific performance in the mission world, different levels are assigned to different mission worlds for assessment.

Those ranked lower will be eliminated or destroyed;

The higher your ranking, the better the rewards.

I just heard from a forum veteran that the person who gets first place in this assessment might get a vacation back in the real world!

"Oh?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, "The real world I live in? But isn't the host already dead? What if we go back? Temporarily resurrect?"

The little white cat scratched its paws and whispered, "I don't know about that. Maybe the main system will have a way. Besides, it's just a rumor, it might not be true."

Oh, by the way, the Raft Survival Mission world is successfully completed, earning 1000 points; the host has already activated the link, and you may encounter a returning instance in the future.

Let's hurry up and choose a script.

This time, we must choose ancient times and test the technology tree to see how effective it is!

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the rows of quietly floating scripts, and picked up the only one with an ancient cover. "Then this is the only one I can choose."

The cover is hand-drawn, conveying a sense of peace and beauty.

Two adorable chubby little birds perched on delicate flower branches. Under the tree, where petals were falling, sat a cartoon man dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding a pen in his hand and exuding an air of dominance over the world. Many books were scattered in front of him; behind him, however, were countless graceful beauties and piles of gold and silver jewelry.

"The cover looks quite peaceful, so it's probably an ancient farming novel?" Jiang Chen opened the script, and the little white cat hurriedly leaned its fluffy head over to look at it together.

This is the story of a modern person who travels back to ancient times and becomes rich.

The protagonist, Lin Mubai, wakes up to find himself transported to an alternate ancient world, becoming the father of a cute and gentle son and daughter, living in poverty and making a living by selling steamed buns.

He directly took over the original owner's body and tragically discovered that because the original owner had been poor since childhood and belonged to the lower class, he had never been to school and was illiterate.

Fortunately, he had two lovely children who, while he was setting up a stall on the street, caught the eye of Xue, the richest man in Jinzhou City, who took a liking to them and always gave them gold, silver and various forms of assistance.

Lin Mubai learned from the original owner's memories that the Xue family was wealthy and had only one son per generation for three generations. By his generation, only a sickly young master remained, and even the collateral relatives had disappeared.

He has all sorts of inventions and creations, and a wealth of poems, songs, novels, and stories to copy, but because he doesn't understand the language of this world, he desperately needs financial assistance.

At the very least, one needs ample time and money to learn to read and write, and then to make soap, cement, wine, glass, refined salt, paper...

Lin Mubai was just one opportunity away from taking off.

So Xue Jiangchen, who won Best Supporting Actor, stepped in to offer him an opportunity.

He was sickly since childhood, often needing half a day to recover after walking just a few steps. Yet, he couldn't stand Lin Mubai no matter what, arguing with his grandfather every day in an attempt to stop them from seeing each other.

Ultimately, all attempts to dissuade him failed, and Young Master Xue died of anger.

The more Master Xue argued with his son, the more he felt that his sick son was unfilial and useless. On the contrary, Lin Mubai was generous, sensible and proper, and with his two cute and soft children, a sweet "Grandpa" could melt anyone's heart.

So when his son died of illness, Master Xue immediately ordered someone to dig a pit and bury him. That same day, he brought Lin Mubai's family into his own mansion to live.

The protagonist shows great care for Master Xue, creating a heartwarming and touching scene of mutual support and gratitude.

Not long after, Xue Yuan died unexpectedly while traveling, and the Xue family compound officially became the Lin family mansion.

Lin Mubai, who inherited the entire family fortune, moved the entire Jinzhou City and became a great person praised by everyone.

In addition, he had previously made a name for himself at the poetry competition held by the county magistrate's son, and had invented various novel gadgets to amass wealth, so he was recommended to be a minor county magistrate.

From then on, Lin Mubai became a renowned figure who combined the roles of a literary figure, inventor, businessman, and reform official.

He shocked and slapped the faces of various experts by plagiarism;

Selling soaps, brewing wine, roast chicken, and other products, they captured the hearts of many beautiful young women, including princesses.

The original owner's wife, whom he greatly desired, died young. Lin Mubai, under the pretext of finding a mother to care for his two children, amassed a large harem, including a famous courtesan, a county magistrate's daughter, a chivalrous woman, a talented woman, a princess, a foreign emperor disguised as a man, and a reclusive master...

Anyone with even a modicum of beauty willingly entered Lin Mubai's harem.

In the end, his name will be remembered for eternity, writing a legendary chapter in his life.

"It's the same old routine." The little white cat rubbed its face and looked at its host with sympathy. "No wonder the best supporting actor died not long after his appearance. The protagonist doesn't need anyone to set him up at all."

If the Best Supporting Actor were to sacrifice his life to inherit the family fortune, his career would take off!

Jiang Chen carefully flipped through the script and scoffed, "This protagonist probably sold health supplements and ate his way to ruin before he transmigrated."

Look at his tactics for dealing with Master Xue.

Doesn't this resemble a health product salesperson who deceives elderly people, causing them to distance themselves from their families, not even trusting their own sons, and only treating outsiders as treasures?

His own son was in poor health, but for the sake of a stranger, Master Xue did not hesitate to aggravate his condition. Even before his son's body was cold, he took that family into his home.

Although it was only mentioned briefly in the plot, the original owner of the body that Lin Mubai transmigrated into still had her biological parents in her hometown.

He doesn't even care about his parents this much, yet he takes such good care of this rich old man. Who would believe he doesn't have ulterior motives?

"The old man can be quite infuriating, but as he gets older, it's only natural for him to want to be surrounded by his children and grandchildren and enjoy the happiness of family life."

"Human nature?" Jiang Chen shook his head and denied it, "I don't see it that way."

Wanting a grandson is understandable.

However, the plot clearly shows that Master Xue adores Lin Mubai's cute and adorable daughter, spending every day playing with her and taking her to buy candy.

I can't fathom the thoughts of people in ancient times.

But Lin Mubai is a modern person!

A grown man saw an old man he didn't recognize staring at his daughter every day, hugging and kissing her, and even secretly following her to buy toys and snacks, taking her away for most of the day.

Who would think that's normal?

If it were me, I'd be asking for trouble! I don't care who you are! For someone of my age to be so disrespectful and grope a young girl like that, even the King of Heaven would give him a good beating!

Let my daughter know that she should stay as far away from that old scoundrel as possible.

And what about Lin Mubai?

Not only did they not stop him, they even taught the child how to please the old man. Ha... I can't say anything else, but Lin Mubai's character is questionable.

The fluffy dumpling frowned slightly. "What you're saying, host, does sound a bit strange."

Judging from the plot, the protagonist probably doesn't have a system cheat code.

The only problem is the original owner's body; he's sickly... and he'll be driven to his death by anger. Poor Young Master Xue.

No time, host. Let's discuss our strategy once we enter the mission world.

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

3, 2, 1, let's go!

As the light screen disappeared, Jiang Chen felt a sudden rush of panic and shortness of breath, and collapsed, completely powerless.

"Host! What's wrong?" The little white cat was so frightened that its fur stood on end. It scratched its ears and cried out, "Don't scare me! Why are you already in trouble after just transmigrating here?"

Chapter Two: Turning the Tables

"Quickly, summon a doctor! The young master is in bad shape again!"

"Master, please calm down. The young master is not feeling well. You can't be so impatient."

"Pink Peach, quickly soothe the young master's breath!"

……

Jiang Chen could feel her heart pounding erratically and fragilely in her chest. Her ears were filled with noise. Someone helped her sit in a chair, and a pair of small hands were helping her catch her breath.

The little white cat noticed that his condition was returning to normal and he was no longer making a fuss, but it still worriedly rubbed his back.

With so many people around, he could only close his eyes and try to process the plot for now.

It's still early. The protagonist, Lin Mubai, has just transmigrated and adapted to his new identity. He's planning to find a way to accumulate his first pot of gold so he can learn to read and write and show off his talents.

After discovering that selling pancakes at a stall with his two children, who were only three or four years old, would result in better sales, Lin Mubai specially took them to the street and taught them some interesting sales pitches to attract customers.

Sure enough, this move was extremely effective!
