"That Servant... I don't know, but I think I have the bullet he shot into me. Maybe I can use this to find the Servant." Wang Chong showed the bullets in his hand. Jeanne took them, examined them carefully, and then stuffed them into her pocket. She said, "Okay, I'll keep a close eye on that Servant. So, how did your injuries heal, Silangjun?"

"Wait a minute... let me think it over." Wang Chong pretended to think hard, mentally rehearsing the words he had just prepared. "I've already given Jeanne enough foreplay. I'm sure she'll have heard what I said, and considering what she just saw, she'll probably mistakenly think my situation is identical to that of a certain sub-servant, or perhaps a certain android. Humph, since I've already got Amakusa's script, it wouldn't be unreasonable for me to get Sieg's now."

Chapter 41: Holding two scripts, taking Jeanne to the hotel

Then, Wang Chong seemed to have thought of something, and began to narrate, "After I fell off the cliff, I felt my life slipping away bit by bit. I had to do something... otherwise, I would surely die. I had come to the back of Yuanzang Mountain today to see if I could summon a stronger Servant. However, before I could do that, this happened. Therefore, when I was on the verge of death, I used my own blood to draw a Heroic Spirit Summoning Circle, hoping to summon a Servant who could save my life."

"I prayed desperately in my heart, and then my consciousness began to blur. Just as my consciousness was about to fall into darkness, I felt a figure like a vengeful spirit appear beside me. After it discovered my situation, it enveloped me in the black mist, and then I completely lost consciousness. Then I woke up and saw you, Jeanne. This is what I know."

"However, now that I've woken up, I've noticed something new in my mind, something that seems to be a way to wield power." Wang Chong raised his hand, and the power of the black mist surged from his body, swirling around him and Jeanne. Ghosts within the black mist also emerged, but Wang Chong suppressed their ferocity, making them appear no different from ordinary spirits.

"This power... I can't even see through it." Joan of Arc activated the [True Name Seen] skill, wanting to check what kind of servant controlled this power, but Joan of Arc found that her skill seemed to be ineffective and she couldn't see it at all.

"So, what exactly is going on, Joan of Arc, do you know? How did I suddenly obtain this black mist? Also, since I successfully summoned the Heroic Spirit, why can't I sense it now?" Wang Chong quickly retracted his black mist and asked.

Jeanne pondered for a moment, combining her knowledge of the Holy Grail with everything Wang Chong had experienced. After a moment's deliberation, she spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, your injury was healed by the Heroic Spirit you summoned. Furthermore, your situation is quite unique. Your Heroic Spirit vanished because it possessed you, just like I did."

"Possessed me?"

"That's right. The fatal injury Shirou-kun suffered earlier, coupled with the passage of time, is probably no longer something that can be healed by ordinary magic. Therefore, the Heroic Spirit you summoned chose this method of possession to share the damage you suffered and suppress it with its power. After you were possessed by the Heroic Spirit, your own physical fitness became the same as that of the Heroic Spirit. Injuries that are fatal to ordinary people will seem inadequate in front of the Heroic Spirit's body." Joan of Arc explained slowly.

"So... my Heroic Spirit didn't disappear. It merged with me, giving me the same power as a Heroic Spirit... just like Leticia and Jeanne?" Wang Chong said, closing his eyes for a moment, then said, "But I can't sense their consciousness. I don't even know the name of the Servant I summoned."

"It seems that Shirou-kun's situation is even more special than mine," Jeanne said. "Because the effort to repair your body, Shirou-kun, may have caused the Servant to fall into a deep sleep... or perhaps it only transferred its remaining power into Shirou-kun. So, Shirou-kun, you are now both a Servant and a Master. You are the equivalent of two people participating in this Holy Grail War."

Wang Chong nodded, but his mind was filled with other thoughts. "Sure enough, Jeanne has successfully mistakenly believed that my Servant and I have merged into one. This means the plan is almost a success. I can be considered to have two scenarios in hand."

……

After a long conversation, Joan of Arc brought Wang Chong back to Liudong Temple. The only difference was that Joan of Arc packed her luggage, explained the situation to the abbot of Liudong Temple, and then gave up the rented house and left Liudong Temple with Wang Chong.

The reason she chose to leave with Wang Chong was, firstly, because Ryuudou Temple had been attacked by an unknown Servant, making it clearly unsafe. The enemy was in the dark, while she was in the light. Therefore, Jeanne followed Wang Chong's advice and lived in a crowded urban area to conceal her presence. Secondly, Wang Chong's unique situation caught Jeanne's attention. To maintain the Holy Grail War, whether dealing with the unknown Heroic Spirit who attacked her and her Master, or exploring Wang Chong's unique situation as a Master and Servant, Jeanne had to stay by his side.

"Wang Chong-jun, it seems that there is no trace of that Servant in the city."

The final reason was that Jeanne wanted to see if she could use her class abilities to detect the Servant's whereabouts. Unfortunately, she was unable to find him. As for the change in name, Wang Chong later informed Jeanne that he was using a pseudonym to conceal his identity due to his participation in the Holy Grail War.

"Let's call it a night. Since we can't find them, we can only rest for the night," Wang Chong said. "Even if Jeanne wants to investigate the cause of the anomalies in this Holy Grail War, it's definitely impossible to resolve them in a short period of time. We can only wait until the Heroic Spirit strikes again to exploit their weakness."

"Okay." Joan of Arc nodded and could only accept this result.

"Ding—Congratulations to the host for successfully deceiving Joan of Arc, diverting the trouble to Dongshui, and setting Joan of Arc's target for investigating the anomalies in the Holy Grail War on the Heroic Spirit Emiya Kiritsugu. This has turned the two main minions of the Inhibition Force against each other. You are awarded 500 Villain Points, 10 consecutive draws of Ordinary-level Lottery Tickets, and 1 Command Seal. Your current Villain Points are: 3000."

"Ding—you have triggered the main Villain quest—[Holy Grail War: Black-Red War]. The number of Servants in this Holy Grail War has completely exceeded the scale of 7 Servants. As the mastermind behind the scenes, the host will completely manipulate the entire process of the Holy Grail War, toy with all Masters and Servants, and ultimately become the greatest victor of this war. Please achieve the quest objectives, and you will receive generous rewards. The quest rewards are as follows: 1 Villain Points, 1 Legendary Lottery, 1 Villain Template, Mastery of the Third Law: Soul Materialization, and 1 Dimensional Teleportation Scroll."

"Ding—This main quest will have a secondary objective. The current secondary objective is: The host has seven servants (one of each of the seven classes). Current progress: 4/7. Upon completion of the quest, the host will be rewarded with 1000 villain points and the passive aura: [Seven-Rider Master]. [Seven-Rider Master]'s passive effect: The panel attributes of the servants you command will increase by one level, capping at EX level, and their magicka consumption ratio will be reduced. Seven servants consume only as much magicka as one. You can choose any servant to gain all of its attributes, skills, and Noble Phantasms. You can switch at any time."

Wang Chong was completely stunned by the three system prompts. After taking a closer look at the rewards, he couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "Fuck, Tongzi, when did you become so generous? 1 Villain Points in one go?"

"Host, this is your first main storyline mission against a villain after all, so the rewards are naturally very generous. Otherwise, how could it be worthy of your efforts? So, please stand up, host. Tongbao can't wait to watch you play with this Holy Grail War." The system said with a smile.

"Okay, but first, let me get a room with Jeanne."

"???"

……

A true man, Wang Chong booked a room right away. He brought Jeanne directly to the hotel and said to the front desk, "Please book two single rooms."

The receptionist looked up at the handsome Wang Chong, then at the exotic, golden-haired Jeanne. She immediately gave Wang Chong an "I understand" look, coughed lightly, and said, "Excuse me, sir, our single rooms are all full."

"What? Are they all full?" Wang Chong said with a frown.

"It's the peak tourist season now, and the guest rooms are always full. But there is still one double room left. How about you two stay there for one night?" the receptionist winked.

"Ah, this..." Wang Chong saw the strange expression on the receptionist's face and immediately realized the reason. He was afraid that the receptionist had misunderstood him.

"And you see, if it's two single rooms, the price is much more expensive than a double room. When you're away from home, wouldn't it be better to save some money and use it elsewhere?"

"Mr. Wang Chong, why don't you just take a double room? It will save you some money. And by staying in the same room, we can take care of each other." Joan of Arc checked the price and found it was exactly what the receptionist said, so she advised Wang Chong.

"No, Joan of Arc, you don't care about the boundaries between men and women?" Wang Chong was about to say this, but suddenly remembered that Joan of Arc did not seem to care about these things in history.

Since the other party doesn't care, I have no opinion.

Chapter 42 Who Sleeps Ugly?

"So... why is there only one bed?" Joan of Arc looked at the only big red bed in the room in a daze. In her opinion, since it was a double room, there should be two beds.

Also, why does the lighting atmosphere in the room look so pink, with an indescribable feeling?

Wang Chong took a look and revealed a look of "As expected." The receptionist had clearly identified him and Jeanne as a couple on a trip, so he tactfully arranged everything. Wang Chong could only say, "You're so accurate!"

"Maybe this is how double rooms are here, otherwise how could it be so cheap? It saves a bed, how could it not be cheap?" Wang Chong said as he lifted the quilt and lay down in it. "It's too late to change rooms or hotels now. Let's go to bed early. It's getting late."

"Alright." Joan of Arc had no choice but to close the door, remove her spirit armor, and then crawl into bed, lying next to Wang Chong. This seemed like a perfectly normal thing for Joan of Arc.

"Wait a minute!!!" However, in the eyes of someone, it was not a normal thing at all.

"Lady Saint, why do you sleep in the same bed with him?" Leticia, who had been watching from inside her body, could hardly hold back. How could she suddenly end up sleeping in the same bed with this man whom she had known for less than a day?

"Because there is only one bed?" Joan of Arc's straightforward answer left Leticia speechless for a moment. At first glance, it seemed that there was no problem, but it seemed that there was a problem everywhere.

"That's not the question! Lady Saint, there are differences between men and women. How can you just sleep with a man casually?" Leticia quickly reminded.

"Yeah, then should I get out of bed and stand guard? Or should I lie on the sofa?" Joan of Arc asked.

"Eh? Why is it the Saint who got out of bed and lay on the sofa?" Leticia was stunned. Normally, in such matters, shouldn't men give way to women?

As if sensing Leticia's thoughts, Jeanne said sternly, "We can't let Wang Chong-jun get out of bed, can we? He was nearly fatally injured today. Although he's recovered a lot, how can we guarantee he hasn't sustained any hidden injuries? Wang Chong-jun needs careful care and observation for a while. How can we let a wounded man lie on the couch? Courtesy is mutual, respectful. How can we force men to give way regardless of the situation?"

"I'm...I'm sorry, Saint. It's my fault." Leticia lowered her head and said apologetically.

"It's okay, Leticia. You are mainly worried about matters between men and women, right? How about this, I'll go sleep on the sofa, and then I will continue to be the main sense, so that you won't feel uncomfortable when you rest. How about it?" Joan of Arc said.

"Huh...huh..."

But at this moment, the sound of Wang Chong sleeping soundly could be heard. It seemed that he was too tired from today's events, so he fell asleep early.

"It seems... he has fallen asleep? How about just forget it? It would be bad if we make too much noise when we come down and wake him up. Anyway, he is asleep now, so you don't have to worry about anything." Joan of Arc asked.

"Okay... I'll rest first." In fact, Leticia was a little depressed because of the sudden danger. Now lying on the comfortable big bed, she felt very sleepy. If it weren't for her worry, she would have fallen asleep long ago.

After sensing that Leticia had also fallen asleep, Joan of Arc slowly closed her eyes, preparing to fall into a deep sleep. Suddenly, she felt something pressing against her back, startling her. Since she was sleeping sideways with her back to Wang Chong, it was obvious that it was Wang Chong who was leaning against her.

"Wang Chongjun?" Jeanne confirmed in a low voice, but what she heard was some unsteady breathing.

"Looks like he's still sound asleep, but maybe he just reacted to my calling, so his breathing rhythm got messy?" Jeanne thought. "Never mind, I'd better stay away from him."

Joan of Arc was just about to move when she felt a rolling sound behind her. Then a hand pressed directly on Joan of Arc, and even the bent forearm rubbed her chest again and again.

"!!!" Jeanne, still a woman after all, nearly cried out in surprise at the sudden touch, her face flushing. Fortunately, to avoid any misunderstanding, she suppressed her cry. After catching her breath, she slowly began to roll over, gently pulling Wang Chong's forearm with both hands, restoring it from her chest back onto him.

Wang Chong also had some reaction to Joan of Arc's actions. He turned over again and returned to his sleeping position.

"Wang Chong-jun's sleeping posture is terrible. I guess you should try to sleep in two beds from now on," Joan of Arc sighed and said softly. However, Joan of Arc didn't seem to blame Wang Chong too much. After covering himself with the quilt, she went back to sleep.

Not long after, faint breathing sounds were heard from Joan of Arc, and she must have fallen asleep.

At this moment, Wang Chong slightly opened his eyes. Actually, he hadn't fallen asleep the entire time. That was just a deliberate teasing of Jeanne beside him. After all, if you don't want to eat the meat right in front of you, you shouldn't touch it.

However, Wang Chong did not go too far. With the help of the [Eye of Evil], he controlled the strength and contact area, so that Jeanne's favorability not only did not decrease, but instead increased a lot due to shyness and strange feelings. Now, like Leticia, her favorability is 45 points.

"It looks like I won't be able to return to the Matou residence tonight... Rather, after meeting Jeanne, I've come up with a bold plan that needs to be implemented. I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the Matou residence until Jeanne is captured. Luckily, I can control Zouken Matou from a distance. I'll use him to inform those people of my situation."

Wang Chong began remotely controlling Matou Zouken and explained his plan to the four Heroic Spirits at home and Matou Kariya. After finishing his explanation, Wang Chong fell into a deep sleep, ready to face a new day.

……

As the morning sun streamed in, Wang Chong slightly opened his eyes. Although he had slept soundly last night, he still kept his senses at full capacity. After all, the man he faced this time wasn't the Heroic Spirit Emiya Shirou, a man with some self-control, but rather the truly unscrupulous Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu. A sneak attack during a night of deep sleep was perfectly normal.

"Hmm? Why do I feel a little heavy? Wait?" When Wang Chong regained consciousness, he discovered that a blonde beauty was lying on his chest, sleeping soundly with a sweet smile on her face, as if she was treating him as a soft cushion.

"You still have the right to say that others have ugly sleeping postures." Wang Chong remembered what Joan of Arc said to him last night and couldn't help but complain.

……

"Yes! I'm sorry!!!" Jeanne blushed as she apologized to Wang Chong. She had been complaining about Wang Chong's terrible sleeping posture last night, but this morning she woke up to find herself crawling on top of him. Even more embarrassing for Jeanne was the fact that he had woken up before her and had already witnessed her humiliating appearance.

Even Joan of Arc, who was experienced in combat and could remain calm in the face of all kinds of battles, seemed extremely flustered when faced with such a thing. This made Wang Chong see a side of Joan of Arc that was quite unexpected.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's better to say that I'm the one who got the better deal. However, this incident also illustrates something very important." Wang Chong said slowly.

"What's important?"

"We have to find a stable place to live."

"Yes...that's right." Joan of Arc couldn't help but nod.

"By the way, where is Leticia? Has she always been in the depths of consciousness?" Wang Chong asked.

"Well, after a Heroic Spirit possesses a person, their personality is primarily that of the Heroic Spirit. However, since the Holy Grail War hasn't started yet, I haven't fully revealed myself. Instead, I've let Leticia act on her own and given her time to relax. But after what happened yesterday, I had no choice but to reveal myself. Now that the possession is complete, most of the time, it's basically my will that's doing the most. And right now, Leticia is still asleep and hasn't woken up," said Joan of Arc.

"Then let her have a good rest. Jeanne, let's split up for today. I'll go find a suitable place to live, and you search for the presence of servants around here to see if you can find the servant who attacked us last night." Wang Chong said.

"Action separately? No, if we act separately, wouldn't that lead to..."

"Don't worry, I have the power of a Servant now, so I may be able to fight that guy. And if there is any problem, I can use this to contact you immediately." Wang Chong condensed black mist, forming a bracelet that was placed on Jeanne's wrist.

"This black mist bracelet can guide you, Joan of Arc, to come to me when necessary, and I can also sense your location. Don't worry, if I meet that guy, I will shake you over and run to your side immediately, how about it?" Wang Chong said.

"Well... okay then." Joan of Arc had no choice but to temporarily approve the proposal.

Chapter 43: Emiya Residence? It’s mine

After parting ways with Jeanne, Wang Chong finally had some free time to himself. He first returned to the Matou household, greeted Matou Sakura and Ryougi Shiki, then took some money from the Matou household to buy a house in the outside world. Then, he took the Empress and headed to Enzo Mountain to begin setting up his magic.

"This place connects to the earth veins, making it a very suitable venue for rituals." Semiramis surveyed the area and nodded. Then, she took the magic barrier Wang Chong had given her yesterday and began setting it up. Wang Chong naturally poured out the large amount of magic materials Semiramis needed from the system space, piling them up as high as a small hill.

Semiramis also summoned many familiars, and under her control, began to arrange and build. Semiramis said to Wang Chong, "Once it's finished, I will spend the next three days performing rituals. Perhaps we can build the Hanging Gardens of Vanity before the Holy Grail War begins."

"Once it's built, can the magic barrier cover up the traces of the Hanging Gardens?" Wang Chong asked.

"Huh? Why do you want to cover up your tracks?" Semiramis was quite surprised. If her Noble Phantasm was successful, she would have achieved the final victory. Why did she have to hide it?

"You have to understand that those Servants are fighting on their own right now. If you bring out something this massive right away and scare them, they might just hide and refuse to fight you. What will you do then? Are we supposed to grope blindly through this vast sea of ​​people?" Wang Chong shook his head and said with a hint of a smile, "There's an old saying in my country: 'If you don't make a sound, you'll start a fire; if you don't fly, you'll soar into the sky!' Since the Hanging Gardens are so powerful, it's only right that they be presented on the grandest stage. I will gather all the participating Heroic Spirits, and then, Semiramis, you'll truly display your Noble Phantasm."

"If you don't sing, you will make a stunning sound; if you don't fly, you will soar into the sky... It's really amazing, Master. In this case, I will be patient for a while and experience the stage that Master has prepared for me." After listening to this, Semiramis also showed a meaningful smile.

……

"Semiramis's favorability has just increased by 5 points, and now it has reached 75 points. I believe that it won't be long before the host can conquer this Assyrian queen." The system said with a smile.

"Well, but I need to find someone to help me. Otherwise, I don't think my body can handle it," Wang Chong said with a frown.

"It's okay, host. As long as you can draw cards with skills related to physical fitness, your abilities in this area will naturally be greatly improved. Host, you're going to buy a house later anyway, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to do a 10-draw streak to cheer yourself up?" the system said with a smile.

"Okay, let's use up the 10 consecutive draws we got yesterday." Wang Chong said.

"Ding—10 consecutive normal draws are being drawn... Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have won the following items: Rare Magic Materials x4, Love Elixir x2, Black Keys x3, Passive Skill: Bravery C-rank."

“%……¥……&%¥%……&! The Black Key again! The Love Elixir again! My warehouse is almost full of these things!” Wang Chong cursed.

"Oh, host, didn't you draw the skill you wanted? This is bravery! What man doesn't want to be brave on the battlefield and in bed? And don't look at it as it's only a small C level now. You can spend experience points to upgrade it. Once it is strengthened to A+ level, you will be able to rival the legendary hero Hercules in terms of physical strength. Isn't it tempting?"

"So how many experience points are needed to upgrade the physical nature and bravery?" Wang Chong asked.

"Currently, 200 experience points are required to upgrade. Host, would you like to upgrade?"

"upgrade!"

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the natural physical level B and bravery level B. The current villain points are 2600 points. It will cost 500 experience points to upgrade to the next level. Do you want to continue?" asked the system.

"No need. The points are a little insufficient. I need to prepare some in case of emergency. Speaking of which, the points that these two guys, Matou Kariya and Kotomine Kirei, have been getting are getting fewer and fewer recently. I have to do it myself." Wang Chong said.

"There's nothing you can do about this, host. Repeated villainous behavior will only cause fatigue, and naturally your rating will get lower and lower, and the points you earn will get fewer and fewer. In other words, whether it's beating up old bugs or slugging it out, it's already having little effect. Furthermore, as for Kotomine Kirei, his master and father are already avoiding him and won't eat his cooking, so Kotomine Kirei won't be able to earn any points."

"I need time to teach him again, not only to let him help me earn points, but also to prevent him from being completely led astray by a certain fat tiger and completely unleashing his true nature. But then again, Mrs. Tohsaka's amount hasn't decreased, it's always the same amount every time." Wang Chong pondered.

"Because you will never get tired of married women~"
