The male supporting character was actually myself.

Having experienced hardship, displacement, and the harsh realities of life, Helena believes that a good vampire is far superior to a bad one. The standard for judging good and evil has nothing to do with race.

Edmund, who had been feeling inferior and helpless, was deeply moved when he heard his beloved say this. He held her warm hands and his voice was choked with emotion, "My lord has given me new life many times, and so have you."

That day, you bravely saved my life;

Today's affirmation has redeemed my soul once again.

Helena, can you accept that I can only embrace you in the darkness of night, and cannot be with you to see the scenery under the sunlight?

The direct and bold confession made her blush, but her joy far outweighed her shyness.

The clever girl knew that it wasn't easy to meet someone gentle, considerate, and genuinely fond of her in this chaotic era, so she immediately blushed and nodded gently.

Edmund's keen senses had already detected her rapid breathing and slightly rising body temperature. As she gently nodded, he couldn't resist his instincts and pulled the delicate and lovely girl in front of him into his arms.

Cold and warm, soft lips met, and the vampire and the human sparked a flame of love.

After a long while, the two reluctantly parted ways.

"You must be very tired after traveling all day," Edmund gently covered her with a blanket, stroking her soft face as he whispered, "Sleep well, my dear, I'll stay with you."

Helena shook her head shyly, "I don't want to sleep, I want you to kiss me one more time."

Edmund smiled wryly and said, "My dear, don't overestimate my willpower."

"So what attracts you more? Is it my blood, my body, or my heart?"

“If I had to compare them, I would say they are evenly matched.” Edmund took a deep breath, suppressing his bloodlust, and said, “I’m sorry, my dear, I haven’t dared to be this close to humans since I became a vampire.”

To be honest, I'm completely out of it. You need to go to sleep now; I need to calm down.

She held the other person's cold hand, lay on the down pillow, closed her eyes with a satisfied smile on her face, and her breathing gradually became even.

Seeing that the show was over, the little white cat, who had been acting as a monitor, hopped off to report the situation to its host.

"Oh? Progress is so fast?" Jiang Chen was quite pleased to hear this.

It's great to live in an era of open-mindedness. I'm glad I did my best to create opportunities for them; they became inseparable in just a few days.

It seems that as long as Helena is safe and sound, Chloe will be out of the picture!

"Host, we're now on the edge of the Blasent clan's territory. What are you planning to do? How can I help you?" The little white cat patted the parchment map on the table with its paws and asked with great interest.

Jiang Chen leaned back on the sofa and recalled for a moment, "The leader of the Blasent clan has some very good skills, which can be used to promote the establishment of the blood bank mechanism."

However, that vampire chieftain is a bit eccentric. I need to negotiate with him first. If I succeed, all the better; if not, I'll consider whether to eliminate him.

The fluffy ball perked up, "Are we... are we going to go on a killing spree?"

"To complete the reform quickly, we must establish the basic framework in a bold and decisive manner."

Those who don't obey will be eliminated, and the rest will follow my commands, which naturally increases efficiency. After all... there are just too many vampires in this mission world!

Chapter Thirty-Two: Blacklisted?

The little white cat scratched its paws with bright eyes, "Host, this time we're going all out!"

To unify the vampire world?

That sounds pretty exciting, so you're going to become the King of the Night and start raising humans?

“Uh…” Jiang Chen twitched his lips as he looked at the eager little fluffy ball and patiently explained, “How could we possibly keep humans as pets? At most, it’s just cooperation between us.”

They essentially pay for blood; the vampires just pay a fee. Everyone faces no risk, and it even promotes medical advancements in some way—a win-win situation in this mission world.

White kitten: ? ? ?

To promote the development of medicine?

No wonder the host gives lectures to those servants every now and then; is he trying to train professional talent?

"Where should I start?" It tilted its head and rummaged through the system space for a long time, but found no unlockable resources to use.

As Jiang Chen tied her long, slightly wavy, and fluffy golden hair back with a black ribbon, she replied, "Of course, it starts with persuasion. The Black Death is still spreading, the population has already plummeted, and with so many vampires hunting indiscriminately, the human living environment is too difficult."

Hopefully, that guy can understand the difference between raising chickens to lay eggs and killing chickens to get the eggs.

After that, it was time to talk with high-ranking leaders of certain countries.

The Black Death, which they feared like the plague, was difficult to cure with current medical technology. However, it was possible to stop its spread through isolation and disinfection, and then try to treat it using traditional Chinese medicine. Incidentally, this would also advance the Industrial Revolution and improve the human living environment in all aspects.

Only when the human world prospers and develops can vampires not worry about lacking food and drink, and can devote their endless life and energy to what they should do.

For example, they can mine resources, invest in finance, and use their abilities to make more money to strengthen the blood bank.

Cultivating a group of vampire researchers and doctors with sound values ​​and near-immortality—this mission promises a bright future for the world!

Little white cat: (ΩДΩ)

Is my host playing a base-building game in the mission world again?

I need to choose a healer at the start this game...

Huh? Aren't vampires supposed to be bloodsuckers? How can they turn into healers?

You really know how to have fun!

"Hey, host, you know traditional Chinese medicine?" The fluffy little dumpling was stunned for a while before asking curiously, "Were you a doctor in your previous life?"

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, then laughed it off.

When did you learn about prescriptions like the Detoxifying and Blood-Activating Decoction? I can't remember why.

Fragments of reality and the mission world are mixed together in a chaotic way. It's unclear where I learned them from, but as long as they come in handy, I don't care about the details for now.

He shook his head, banishing the jumbled thoughts from his mind, mounted his horse, and prepared to head to the Blasent clan's territory to find their lair.

"My lord, are you going out on business?" Edmund had just returned from hunting and asked hurriedly upon seeing this, "Is there anything you need me to do?"

Just as Jiang Chen was about to refuse, he heard the little white cat remind him, "Host, the script has been updated!"

[Mission: Dispatch Edmund immediately to Percy to investigate the current situation of the Brasent clan. Reward: One-time use D-grade item. Mission countdown: 30s, 29s...]

The department responsible for issuing the task was probably worried that he would delay, so they added a countdown timer to the task description.

“I need to discuss cooperation with the chieftain of the Brasent clan, but I haven’t been in contact with him for years and am not very clear about the current situation of the Brasent clan. Go to Bersey and secretly find out about their clan’s current situation for me.”

Jiang Chen casually pulled a handful of gold coins from his pocket and handed them over, saying, "You don't need to save me money or take any risks. Just know the general situation."

"Yes! Please rest assured, sir, I will try my best to get back as soon as possible so as not to delay your business."

Edmund took the gold coins and stuffed them into his pocket. He watched the count ride away without lingering, bid a brief farewell to Helena, and then mounted his horse and disappeared into the vast night.

"Congratulations, host, on successfully completing the mission." The little white cat perched on his shoulder, flipping through the script.

After riding his horse for a while, Jiang Chen turned into a secluded alley, took the script, and carefully read through the updated content.

The protagonist, Edmund, was temporarily assigned to Percy to scout the situation. He arrived before dawn and had to find an inn to stay in and lie low until nightfall before he could begin his scouting work.

The round trip took three days. When Edmund returned to the town inn where the caravan was stationed, he discovered that the Earl had angered the Brasent clan, and a large group of vampires had gathered to attack the entire town.

He arrived too late; Helena was bitten and bleeding profusely, on the verge of death.

Edmund lacked the ability to transform into a vampire, and the Count was nowhere to be found, leaving him only able to watch helplessly as his beloved girl died in his arms.

The entire town and caravan had been reduced to ruins by the crazed vampires, who had slaughtered, burned, and looted them. He wandered from place to place but could not find any news of the Earl. Years later, Edmund encountered a group of vampires on a campaign against them, and Chloe, with her cute and innocent appearance, was doing very well among them.

After the two reunited, Chloe learned of Edmund's past. Chloe was jealous that Helena had won his heart and resented the Count for not taking her with him, which led to her beloved falling in love with someone else.

Amidst a confluence of factors, Chloe sows discord.

Edmund was never able to get over Helena's tragic death, and under her influence, he blamed everything on the Count.

Upon hearing that the Count had unleashed a massacre on the vampires, inflicting cruelty upon his own kind and enraging other clan leaders, Edmund, whose old and new grudges were all directed at the Count, resolutely joined the fight. He then killed the Count, performed a great service, and obtained everything from the Anvilatuz clan.

The story then reverts to its original plot, with Chloe dying and Edmund enjoying a life of luxury until centuries later when he meets and falls in love with Betty…

"To be honest, I'm really impressed." Jiang Chen was so angry that he laughed after reading it. "I won't comment on how well the script team did their job, but they really know how to pull the plot together to make the story work."

So, they won't rest until they kill me? Is this considered settling a personal score?

The little white cat, lacking confidence, muttered softly, "Maybe, perhaps, possibly... Host, you're not on the script team's blacklist, are you?"

In various stories, supporting characters are meant to highlight the existence of the protagonist, so the scriptwriting team can't even say anything about making supporting characters the stepping stones for the protagonist.

If they really want to use the storyline to target us, honestly, we have nowhere to complain.

After all, we don't know the censorship system's criteria for judging whether a script is up to standard. If, after all the checks, the script team finds nothing wrong, we'll be in trouble.

"In that case, the script team shouldn't blame me for always making them work overtime all night." He put the script away, tightened the reins, turned the horse around, and returned to the inn where the main force was stationed.

The little white cat looked completely bewildered. "Host, what are we doing? Should we take precautions or give up on provoking the Brasent clan to avoid being wiped out?"

"Xiao Bai, in all these years of working together, have you ever seen me back down?"

"I understand. So, host, you're going to lead a large force to fight head-on?"

"I want to see just how capable the Blasent clan, whom the original owner remembered as madmen, really is!"

Chapter Thirty-Three: Did you drug him?

As dawn broke, Jiang Chen ordered the convoy to set off.

The large entourage turned around and headed to their next destination, while he, accompanied by two attendants, rode towards Percy.

As night fell, the three arrived at their destination. The bustling city of Percy was ablaze with candlelight, the perfect time for entertainment.

"My lord, how can we find out where Edmund is staying?" Helena, now dressed in riding attire and looking dashing, held a leather whip in her hand, her face showing a hint of nervousness.

Percy is a huge city, located at the crossroads of north and south. Merchants and tourists from all over gather here to participate in the annual harvest festival. It is crowded with people everywhere, so how easy is it to find a single person among them?

But the Count said that he had just sent Edmund out to gather intelligence when he received a secret letter saying that the vampires of the Brasent clan were extremely mad and that they should not be taken lightly.

The adults were worried about Edmund's safety and the caravan being implicated, so they made a temporary arrangement for the caravan to bypass the Brasent clan's territory and go to cities along the south coast to arrange accommodation in advance, so as not to be affected.

He then led himself and another clever and capable squire on horseback to catch up with Edmund.

As long as we can find him in time without alerting the vampires in the city, there shouldn't be any danger.

On her way there, Helena even considered that if they really encountered danger, she might be able to help lure away some of the pursuers. Therefore, before changing into her riding clothes and mounting her horse, she deliberately put a silver dagger in her boots.

“It’s not easy to find someone in such a big city, so let’s not go looking for Edmund, let him come looking for us.”

Jiang Chen casually handed the horse's reins to the inn's servant, asking him to take the horse, which had been running all day, to the stable to rest and eat hay.
