2 A Pure-Hearted Fanboy

"Shifu… Shifu…!" A voice calls out, rousing the half-conscious man awake. He feels a dull throbbing in his head, and lets out an undignified groan. When he opens his eyes, the first thing he sees is a blurred silhouette.

More like, who is this person calling 'Shifu'? He's no Shifu, he's just a simple-minded university student who wastes his life away on webnovels, ah!

When his vision clears, Chen Yihai notices that there is a young man sitting down next to him, staring at him with a worried expression.

"Sh-Shifu! You're awake! Thank goodness you're okay…" The young man says, relief washing over his previously anxious countenance. "What happened, Shifu? You went out for nearly a whole day and never returned! Us disciples were really worried, so we decided to go look for you!"

Chen Yihai's muddled brain can't process the information being relayed to him at such a quick speed. Just as he opens his mouth to speak, a voice within his mind speaks up:

[707: Hello, host! It seems you have woken up! Welcome to the world of 'Touch of Immortals'~!]

Chen Yihai freezes, before hesitantly speaking inside his mind: '...Who are you?'

[707: QAQ! You've already forgotten me? Don't you remember what I told you before? Host is so cold-hearted, ba. It's me, System 707!]

Chen Yihai: '...Oh.'

After digging into his brain for memories, he does remember hearing such things after hitting his head on the edge of his desk. But that's crazy, ah! Even though he has a lot of knowledge about novels with the MC transmigrating into another world with a system, never would it have occurred to him that he would be one of them!

...Wait a minute.

Suddenly, he remembers one discreet detail—

Chen Yihai: '...Did you say I have to shout 'I love BL!' to summon you?!'

[707: Correct! I am so happy that host can quickly remember, ah! ^_^ I only came out of my own volition to help host remember the original body's memories, so don't get used to it~!]

Chen Yihai's face fills with black lines.

Chen Yihai: '.....Don't tell me you are like the women who couple men together?'

[707: You already know me too well, ba~! Host is making me blush!]

The young male stays silent for a moment, before taking in a deep breath and releasing it.

Chen Yihai: '...Alright, you know what, please just send me the original body's memories.'

707 obediently nods its little head inside Chen Yihai's mind. [707: Okay! Transferring data, please wait….]

Since his situation is already like this, he could only wistfully sigh and accept it. Deep in his heart, he hopes that this is all just a dream. After all, he is only an ordinary university student—one that always lazes about and never does anything useful at all. Forget dreaming about transmigrating into one of his favorite novels, he only wanted to read it, not experience it, ah!

He's a pure-hearted fan-boy!

...Well, at least he wasn't the MC. Being a big BOSS villain, that wasn't too bad! All he has to do is properly carry out his role as a villain and be slain by the protagonist. Ending his life by a handsome and OP male protagonist—he wouldn't ask for any other way out. And if he continues on this path, he'll definitely be able to see the protagonist of 'Touch of Immortals' more! Since it's his job to get in the protagonist's path to righteousness at all costs!

And just thinking about seeing Yun Shenwu in the flesh… Chen Yihai has to hold back his expression and show proper discipline befitting a 'Shifu'.

Must. Resist. Drooling!

[Ding!]

[707: Transfer complete! If host needs anything else, you know how to call me, hehe~ bye bye!] And then the system disappears somewhere into his consciousness.

Although their conversation was long, in reality, it only took half a second.

His mind is quickly filled to the brim with the original body's memories. In his current situation, it seems that he had just returned from a secret meeting with the Demonic Cultivators. Even though they had come to a consensus to work together to destroy the original Shifu's sect, their mannerisms were to knock him unconscious and throw him out somewhere far away from their secret base. It made sense… after all, he had taken great lengths and even let them blindfold him on their way to their sect. So it was not surprising they wouldn't easily trust him.

This was the first destruction flag that would bring the BOSS villain to his ultimate demise.

And it also turns out… this BOSS villain's name also shared the same name as him—Chen Yihai! What a terrible connection, ah!! Wasn't this just too good to be true? How could he have the exact same name as the villain?! He somehow doubts that this was just a coincidence, but more like a convenient way for readers to remember one name instead of two…

Not that he knows that, anyway.

Now that he's aware of his identity and situation, Chen Yihai puts on an air of indifference. He calmly sits up and dusts the dirt off of his clothes. Then, facing the young disciple in front of him, he says: "Wen Xiuying, do not worry about your Shifu. Wipe that expression off of your face. I was only resting for a bit, as I had been traveling all day."

Though he did have his doubts about the explanation, Wen Xiuying doesn't dare to question his Shifu. He quickly nods, cupping his hands together to bow. "En, many apologies to Shifu. I am only glad to see that you are alright!"

Chen Yihai nods, pleased with his own authority over others. "Of course I would be alright; I am your Shifu for a good reason. Let the others know about my condition and have them return to the Peak. I'll be traveling back shortly."

The disciple nods and obediently follows his orders. "I will do as Shifu says. Please have a safe journey back, us disciples are awaiting Shifu's return!" Wen Xiuying bows, and takes his leave.

Once the side character disappears into the distance, Chen Yihai immediately turns off his acting switch and slumps his shoulders. He takes a deep breath and uses one hand to knead at his neck.

"Finally, that extra is gone!" He says to himself, sighing in relief. Being in character was too difficult, even for a minute! For a moment, he entertains the idea of quitting his role as the BOSS villain and just live a quiet life in a secluded forest. But then, how would he see the protagonist if he doesn't fill in his role?

...Plus, his destruction flag was just raised. In the end, his only route is to die by the protagonist's hand.

The more he thinks about it, the more ecstatic he becomes! Seriously how could he have such a cool ending? He wants to make fun of the cannon fodders that get lame deaths off-screen, or natural death. Hahaha!

Since he's the BOSS villain, he will play his role well!

...When he has to, anyway. He's still just a sheltered fanboy who likes to read. Right now, since no one's around in this abandoned alley—

"I love BL!" Chen Yihai says, internally cringing as he says so.

Almost immediately, a cheerful voice resounds within his head!

[707: I also love BL, tee-hee! ^_^]

Chen Yihai sighs, wondering why he couldn't have just gotten a normal system like the other transmigrators in other novels…

Chen Yihai: '....Seven, can I return to my original world if I don't complete this role?'

[707: Huh? No, of course not! You've read so many novels, how could you think it was that easy? You're so silly, host. Hehe! Cute.gif]

When Chen Yihai sees the gif that appears within his mind, he indignantly says: 'That's not fair! I want a gif pack, too!'

[707: Nope, only systems can have it. Sorry host, too bad for you!]

Chen Yihai only has one thing to say: 'F*ck!!'
