The male supporting character was actually myself.

Watching its host running the tap with a loud gurgling sound, fiddling with the pot and brandishing the knife, the little white fluffy ball perched on its shoulder couldn't help but facepalm. "My host has it tough..."

Dinner was as plentiful and delicious as ever.

Jiang Chen used the remaining level-six spirit core energy from the food maker to make two dishes.

Jin Nian ate until her belly was full, then slumped in her chair, savoring the delicious meal.

"Ah... I don't know yet how wonderful life is in the human world!" She was completely captivated, muttering to herself, "What about the Gates of Hell? Opening them here will destroy the human world..."

"What did you say? The Gates of Hell?" Jiang Chen instantly grasped the key point.

Jin Nian nodded lazily, "Yes."

Nowadays, the birth rate in the human world continues to decline, and the underworld is overcrowded with spirits.

To make management easier, Lord Hades has set stricter standards, and in recent years, spirits with even slight flaws have been thrown into the Underworld.

In addition, the human world is full of temptations, and many people who appear to be in human form have already had their souls twisted and depraved, and after death they fall directly into the underworld.

There are just too many evil spirits in the underworld, it's about to explode!

To prevent the Underworld from being overcrowded, the gates of the Underworld must be opened to release some of the pressure.

This time, the Gates of Hell have chosen the human realm as its location.

Yuan Xuefei was alarmed when she first heard this, "Then... when will the Gates of the Underworld open?"

“When the pressure of the Netherworld can no longer be withstood,” Jin Nian said with a droopy face, looking worried, “it’s almost here. I can feel it stirring, wanting me to summon it.”

But after I came out this time, I realized that the human world is wonderful, and the gates of the underworld cannot be opened here!

"Is it possible to transfer to another world?"

Jin Nian shook her head. "No, the world that has already been chosen cannot be changed."

All I can do is stall for time and try to start it as late as possible;

Another point is to actively choose the location where the Gates of Hell open, and try to be as far away from the city as possible...

But that was useless; once the gates of the underworld opened, at least half of the human realm would fall into ruin.

unless……"

Yuan Xuefei hurriedly asked, "Unless what?"

“Unless I, as the vessel of the Gate of the Underworld, die.” Jin Nian looked at her earnestly, his eyes clear. “If I die, the Gate of the Underworld will not be able to open in the human world. When the Underworld can no longer withstand the pressure of too many evil spirits, it will explode.”

At that time, both the underworld and the human world will be affected, but as for the consequences, I don't know.

Jiang Chen chuckled and shook his head. "It's not that absolute. There are still ways to solve it."

The two beautiful girls simultaneously cast puzzled glances at them.

Jin Nian immediately perked up, her eyes shining. "Brother, do you have a way? If you can prevent the gates of the Underworld from opening, prevent the Underworld from exploding, and save me from dying, I'm willing to do anything!"

"I only have an idea for now. As for whether it can be implemented, I'll have to go to the Underworld to find out." Jiang Chen thought for a moment and decided not to say anything for now.

If the situation in the underworld becomes complicated, we may need to change the plan according to the script.

"If you don't want the gates of the underworld to open too quickly, Jin Nian, you need to quickly study the books I bought you and learn to control your emotions as soon as possible. As for the rest, I'll go to the underworld with you after I finish what I'm doing!"

Yuan Xuefei looked worried. "Brother, going to a place like that... won't it be very dangerous?"

"Oh no, no way!" Jin Nian patted her chest and assured him, "I'll take my brother with me, his safety is my responsibility!"

Seeing her brother nod with a smile, Yuan Xuefei couldn't help but sigh softly, "I can't help with anything else, I can only try my best to supervise and tutor Jin Nian's studies, and hope that she can cooperate well with her brother."

“It’s a deal!” Jiang Chen took out a bank card that he had prepared beforehand and waved it. “As long as you two behave yourselves, you can use the money in this card as you please. You can buy whatever you want!”

We can't argue; we have to discuss it beforehand and go shopping together.

Having learned from the TV series that this little card could be used as money, Jin Nian immediately jumped up and snatched it away, exclaiming, "Yay! I want to buy the latest game console, the kind where you can dance!"

Feifei, what do you want to buy?

How about we go shopping together tomorrow?

Chapter Eighteen: Little Brother, Are You Teaching Me How to Do Things?

In less than two days, Jin Nian had already fallen for him.

She lived in a big house; ate delicious spiritual food that could also provide energy; played games; watched TV series; and learned about all sorts of new things she had never seen before. Apart from eating, drinking, and having fun, she had no pressure at all. She had never enjoyed such a happy life in the underworld.

Especially with Yuan Xuefei by her side, the two beautiful girls, whose souls had already merged in a small part, are now inseparable and their relationship is becoming increasingly close.

Jiang Chen was very satisfied with the result.

When he finished washing up and was about to lie down to rest, he noticed that the little white fluff ball was lying on the bed with a serious expression.

"What, the script has been updated?"

Faced with the host's question, Xiaobai was unusually serious, "Not yet, I just feel something is wrong... The script has been updated twice, and we haven't received a second mission yet!"

Isn't something a little off?

It's standard practice to complete the first mission immediately upon entering the mission world, but why is the second mission taking so long?

He threw back the covers, lay down, and casually turned off the light, revealing a meaningful smile in the darkness. "Ask your main system if it's stuck."

"I've already reported it, but the main system told me there are no tasks available to assign at the moment." The little white cat scratched its paws worriedly. "Could the script be preparing something big?"

Jiang Chen yawned, "Go to sleep, go to sleep. Maybe there will be new tasks when the script is updated."

…………

Just as dawn was breaking, he felt a heavy weight fall on him, followed by a soft, sweet voice from a little girl, "Host, the script has been updated!"

I glanced at it and felt a little dizzy, but the plot seems to be leaning more and more towards a darker tone.

Jiang Chen got up, turned on the light, and carefully read through the script.

As expected, the new storyline includes the character Feng Rui!

He has quite a lot of screen time and is quite important.

The splits scene has been reduced significantly, but in the several storylines where Feng Rui appears, he uses various means to deal with Jin Nian, ultimately leading to the opening of the Gates of Hell!

Could it be due to his paranoid personality?

Because of the Xueyang Mountain incident, Feng Rui has been targeting Jin Nian because of his obsession with eliminating evil spirits.

There weren't many clues in the plot, so Jiang Chen trusted his intuition more.

The Xueyang Mountain incident back then must have had other hidden details and was of great importance!

The timeline of the story after this script update is quite long, and there shouldn't be any unexpected events during this period.

To truly eliminate Feng Rui, perhaps we should start with the attack on the evil spirits of Blood Sun Mountain.

"Xiaobai, can I kill this Feng Rui? Or... hint to Jin Nian to kill him directly?"

"No, Host." The little white cat shook its round head like a rattle drum. "He is a key figure. If Host kills him, we will have to readjust the difficulty and enter this mission world again."

If you fail again after the difficulty increases, you'll have no chance at all.

It's a bit of a shame we couldn't just kill it directly...

When investigating the Blood Sun Mountain incident, he recalled what the evil spirit from the underground intelligence station had said: the detailed documents were all sealed in the Heavenly Master Sect's top-secret room.

I absolutely have to participate in the Celestial Masters Sect selection this Sunday.

The following week, everything proceeded as usual.

Jiang Chen experienced the fulfilling life of a senior in high school once again;

Yuan Xuefei was quickly protected by the school as a mascot, and the whole school held anti-bullying lectures and became unprecedentedly strict in dealing with the relationships between students.

Lu Zi, who used to bully students from poor families, and her friends were severely punished.

Other students who formed cliques were also warned several times and became much more restrained.

After resting for two days, Wu Qifan returned to school and stopped chasing girls and vying to be the top student. He focused solely on protecting Yuan Xuefei's safety, fearing that she might use evidence to sue him for trafficking a girl...

On Saturday, Jiang Chen was at school taking extra classes.

Just as the teacher was making him drowsy, the little white cat suddenly cried out, "Host, something terrible has happened! The script has started updating again!"

Hey!

What happened again?

He jumped up almost instantly and ran out the back door, startling the teacher and classmates.

However, since everyone already knew that this drastically changed Baozi was actually a hidden Taoist master, they were not too surprised by his sudden departure from the hall.

Maybe it discovered an evil spirit and went to hunt it down.

"It's eleven o'clock now. Feifei took Jinnian to the art studio to learn art!" Jiang Chen ran to the corridor, glanced at his watch, and immediately took out a one-time teleportation talisman from his system space and threw it on the ground.

"boom!"

With a soft sound, he disappeared down the corridor.

The next second, Jiang Chen appeared at the door of the art studio on the second floor.

Screams echoed from the lobby downstairs. He didn't have time to look, so he grabbed the railing with one hand and jumped down!

"Ah! How terrifying!" The little white cat realized what was happening and saw severed limbs and mangled bodies scattered all over the ground. It screamed incoherently, "Help! Murder!"

Jiang Chen glanced around and got a clear picture of the situation in the hall.

Two Level 3 Celestial Masters and several Level 2 Celestial Masters fought against Jin Nian.

Three bodies have already been torn apart, and another lies on the ground, its fate unknown.

Jin Nian has already revealed its evil spirit form; the horns on its head seem to be larger than before; its tail is swaying; and its face is covered with fine black lines.

"Jin Nian!" Jiang Chen roared.

Clearly, he arrived just in time. Xiaobai had notified him immediately of the script update, and he arrived at the scene almost without any delay using the teleportation scroll.

Otherwise, if it had been just a few seconds later, with her abilities, she would have torn all the Celestial Masters to shreds long ago!

In the throes of extreme excitement, Jin Nian heard the call and turned around seductively with a bewitching smile. She looked at him with her scarlet eyes, her tail wagging and pointing at Jiang Chen. "Are you... calling me?"

"Host, run! Jin Nian has turned into a demon!" Little White shrank into a ball and covered his eyes in fright.
