Chapter 15: Vanishing Among the Masses.

"Looks like I arrived early."
After learning that Shrek Academy's official enrollment hadn't yet begun, Ye Cheng realized he had arrived a bit too early. Ning Rongrong, who had ran away from home, was probably still leisurely traveling and enjoying the sights on her way here.
"I wonder where Tang San and the others are now."
Ye Cheng felt a bit curious. He contacted the System he hadn't used in a long time. A luminous screen appeared before his eyes, visible only to him—
[Role-playing System—Create a persona. The more people believe in this fictional persona and generate emotions like shock, longing, fear... the more likely it will eventually become real!
Current Persona: Twin Martial Soul - Ye Cheng (100%)
Achieved Persona: Twin Martial Soul - Ye Cheng.
External Plugin: Live Stream Spoiler System—50% (Current absorption progress is insufficient, granting only low-level authority. Can freely ask questions, fabricate and tamper with videos, and set up Q&A rewards and punishments. However, rewards from Q&A cannot be obtained. Only by acquiring 100% ultimate authority can you control everything within the system.)]
Looking at the data on the screen before him, which hadn't changed much, Ye Cheng mentally clicked on the 'Live Stream Spoiler System' option. Immediately, some smaller options appeared: Fabricate, View, Deduce…
These were the many small functions that Ye Cheng could use after gaining 50% control of the system's authority.
He directly clicked on the "View" function, and a search box appeared. He mentally entered the name "Ning Rongrong." Instantly, over 600 results were returned.
This meant that there were over 600 people in the world named Ning Rongrong.
Ye Cheng entered the information again: "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Young Miss Ning Rongrong." Immediately, the over 600 results disappeared, leaving only one option.
He clicked on this option.
A large screen instantly appeared before his eyes, just like a video player. The background displayed was a bustling and prosperous street, where a gorgeously dressed girl was strolling leisurely, occasionally stopping to buy interesting trinkets. Simultaneously, the real-time region name was displayed at the edge of the screen.
"She's still so far away," Ye Cheng muttered, frowning when he saw the region name. He quietly made an estimate, realizing that if Ning Rongrong continued at this pace, it would probably take her a month to arrive here.
In that case, Shrek Academy's enrollment was probably a month away.
Ye Cheng then thought, 'Right, I might as well take a look at where the other characters are now.' After pinpointing the accurate time, he closed the video and re-entered another name in the search box: Tang Sect Tang San.
This time, the information he entered was relatively detailed, so the search box displayed only one option.
Ye Cheng clicked on the option. The video displayed a scene of a blacksmith shop. An ordinary-looking black-haired boy was hammering a piece of iron, covered in sweat. Around him were some semi-finished hidden weapons that were mostly formed.
"That's Tang San. He's still forging iron. Clearly, he hasn't officially set off yet, or perhaps he's preparing to, making some arrangements," Ye Cheng deduced as he watched the scene in the video.
He closed the video.
Re-entered: Shrek Ma Hongjun.
This time, the scene that appeared was somewhat unsuitable for children.
Ye Cheng's mouth twitched as he looked at the mosaic-worthy scene in the video. There were two women and one man. The man appeared to be only in his teens, looking fat and sleazy. The women, on the other hand, appeared to be at least in their thirties, some perhaps even forty.
"What heavy tastes!" Ye Cheng thought. "Or should I say, indiscriminate in his hunger?"
Shaking his head, Ye Cheng closed the video. He entered another name: Zhu Zhuqing.
Then, the search box showed sixty-odd options.
Ye Cheng thought for a moment, then added "Star Luo Zhu Family" at the end.
Thus, only one option remained.
He clicked on the video.
This time, the video content that appeared made his pupils constrict!
The image showed a pool of water.
Beside the pool was a girl, lightly loosening her clothes…
Of course, that wasn't the main point.
What Ye Cheng truly focused on were the bloodstains on the girl's body. Her clothes were torn in multiple places, and she looked utterly disheveled. Blood was constantly seeping out from the torn areas. Clearly, she had just been through a battle.
"Judging from the wounds, it's very obvious that a Soul Master did it. Was she injured by assassins sent by her sister?" he speculated inwardly. Recalling the original work's content, it hadn't detailed what dangers the girl encountered on her solitary journey from the distant Star Luo Empire to the Heaven Dou Empire.
However, there were brief mentions indicating that she had been repeatedly pursued by assassins sent by her sister. Her ability to survive the journey from the Star Luo Empire to the Heaven Dou Empire, indeed, was largely accounted for by luck.
This girl, alone by the pool washing her wounds, was like a wounded kitten silently licking its wounds. She was both pitiful and adorable. Anyone who witnessed it would undoubtedly feel a pang of pity.
Ye Cheng was naturally no exception.
What's more, these original female characters were, for him, akin to the paper wives of an otaku, enhanced by his fantasies. They were incomparable to ordinary women.
After all, with his current status and position, if he truly desired women, what kind of women couldn't he have?
If he merely spoke the word, countless forces would send women to him.
But he disdained such actions. Only these original female characters were special existences to him, capable of stirring his inner interest. Ordinary women who had not appeared in the original work were merely common and uninteresting to him; he wouldn't even spare them a glance.
"Zhu Zhuqing…"
Ye Cheng looked at the aloof girl in the video, biting her red lips tightly from the pain as she silently washed her wounds. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What a good girl, it's a pity that in the original trajectory of destiny, she was taken advantage of by Dai Mubai, losing her soul and becoming a mere foil…"
When he first watched "Douluo Dalu," the girl Zhu Zhuqing truly left an excellent impression on him. Strong, independent, and unwilling to admit defeat, she traveled thousands of miles from the Star Luo Empire to the Heaven Dou Empire, just to retrieve her runaway fiancé and resist destiny together!
The light shining in the soul of such a girl was truly dazzling!
Unfortunately, in subsequent developments, limited by talent, fortuitous opportunities, and other factors, she could only compromise with reality, eventually becoming a mere foil to the scumbag Dai Mubai, effectively vanishing among the masses.
Afterward, Zhu Zhuqing's only purpose for appearing was to cooperate with Dai Mubai in performing their Soul Fusion Skill; nothing more.
At that time, when Ye Cheng saw this, he felt that the character Zhu Zhuqing was already "dead."
Unable to arouse his interest in the slightest anymore.
But now.
Ye Cheng looked at this stubborn kitten licking its wounds alone in the video, and silently made a decision in his heart.
That is… Dai Mubai and the like should get lost!
I want this kitten!
