The System Teaches You How to Be Human

The reason Si Yisi chose this time to publish the story was because, in Gu Changkong’s memories, it was on this day that Lu Chaoxi started writing.

Si Yisi wasn’t worried that ‘Towards Heaven’ would fail because of Lu Chaoxi’s built-in fame. Anyone with clear eyes could tell the quality of the work!

Moreover, whether Lu Chaoxi could even get out of bed was still uncertain. Si Yisi let out a cold laugh.

What he hadn’t expected was that Lu Chaoxi actually forced himself to endure the excruciating pain that made him shiver and got out of bed, enduring the humiliation to clean the room. No matter how arrogant and reckless Lu Chaoxi was, after such a targeted nightmare, he naturally began to suspect that System 1314 had left some sort of trap behind.

He was anxious, while also burning with the anger of being schemed against!

Lu Chaoxi gritted his teeth like he was in a trance, his face twisted. “I still need more fame… so that those things won’t be able to do anything to me!”

“They can kill a person, but can they destroy this small world?!”

Lu Chaoxi, having the guts to betray, naturally had his own countermeasures. He could release an invisible virus through the works he “created” and spread it to those who had come to love the author’s work!

Once the timing was right, these people could become mindless puppets, manipulated by Lu Chaoxi, serving as human shields to protect him!

It seemed like Lu Chaoxi had already imagined the beautiful future where the system was powerless against him. He didn’t believe for a second that his plan could fail!

The famous books, scripts, songs, and even poems I made are all globally recognized works!

With that thought in mind, Lu Chaoxi staggered toward his computer desk. It was at this moment that he saw the little puppy he had raised.

The puppy’s pure eyes ignited some sort of rage in Lu Chaoxi. He lazily kicked it, hearing it let out a soft whimper as it curled up in fear.

Lu Chaoxi moved to the computer desk and sat down. He pressed the password to unlock it, but his hands shook so much that he made several mistakes before finally logging in.

“F*ck!” Lu Chaoxi cursed loudly and slammed the mouse down in frustration.

The little puppy, whimpering softly, looked up at Lu Chaoxi. Its clear eyes had taken on a hint of inorganic light.

The evening glow quietly climbed up the sky, the heavens tinted with a gloomy purple, like the signs of an impending storm.

On the other side.

In Gu Changkong’s room.

After symbolically sending a few red envelopes to the readers who had discovered the new story and were celebrating, Si Yisi turned to check Weibo.

Lu Chaoxi’s “creation” ‘Wandering the Earth’ had already been released. As the saying goes, ‘once you’re famous, you easily attract hate,’ and now, the hot search related to ‘Wandering the Earth’ was trending on Weibo.

Clicking on it…

There was a comment that had received many likes.

The comment expressed admiration for ‘Wandering the Earth’ while questioning the “author” Lu Chaoxi.

It pointed out the huge gap between Lu Chaoxi’s education level and the level of the works he had created. In other words, it suspected that Lu Chaoxi wasn’t the true creator of these excellent works.

This comment would ferment in the future of Gu Changkong’s memories, as it was a doubt raised by the original author of ‘Wandering the Earth’.

But unfortunately, this original author only entered the early stages of ‘Wandering the Earth’s’ creation. He tried to use legal means to reclaim the work but was rejected due to Lu Chaoxi’s earlier publication date.

In the end, the original author lost to a low-grade plagiarist!

Wasn’t that laughable? Ridiculously laughable!

Si Yisi believed that those original authors who had been plagiarized by Lu Chaoxi but hadn’t made any waves were the best natural allies. He silently followed this Weibo post, waiting for the right moment.

Si Yisi then clicked on the newly published article page. The pen name ‘Kong Yue’ was that of an unknown small writer, and currently, there were only a few scattered comments, but the feedback was unexpectedly positive…

[Wow, the new story looks amazing!]

[The male lead is impressive, I’m following!]

Si Yisi felt a faint ripple from Gu Changkong’s soul, emanating a feeling of joy.

Si Yisi himself couldn’t help but be infected by it, showing a soft, genuine smile.

**

In a small room, Chi Chun sat cross-legged, casually eating chips.

When he saw Si Yisi smile, a few crumbs of chips fell to the floor. Soon, Chi Chun couldn’t help but show a happy smile for his friend.

In fact, Si Yisi had always been cold as ice to anything other than tearing people apart. He lacked the social skills and communication abilities of a normal person. So, Si Yisi had always been solitary, and only Chi Chun, who didn’t mind pushing his warm face against Si Yisi’s cold one, ended up being his only friend.

Chi Chun hadn’t expected that playing the role of a host repeatedly would gradually bring about such a huge change in Si Yisi. He genuinely felt happy for his friend.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of Chi Chun’s small room.

Knock knock–

“Who is it?”

“It’s your newly assigned host.”

Chi Chun opened the door and saw a well-built, but not overly muscular, adult man standing outside. The host blinked, and a single tear dropped from his eye.

Clang!

The tear turned into a massive diamond, which smashed a shallow dent into the floor of the small room.

“Hello, I’m your randomly assigned host, Mo Wuchang.”

Chi Chun almost choked.

Si Yisi, who had been sitting at the computer, suddenly sneezed. He placed the computer aside, walked out of the room, and pulled Gu Haoyue over.

“Sister!” Si Yisi flashed a smile that still appeared a bit naive, like an immature young guy excitedly shouting, “I wrote a novel, and I want you to take a look!”

He was curious about what Gu Haoyue would think after reading her younger brother’s novel, and then seeing the novel of her boyfriend, whom she was currently in love with.

There was no need to worry about Lu Chaoxi. His personality was definitely not the type to keep quiet after plagiarizing a work. He would eagerly show it off to his girlfriend or other close people.

Gu Haoyue was busy, but she was exceptionally doting toward her younger brother. She immediately responded seriously, “Alright, sister will take a good look.”

Then, she changed the topic to mention something else, “Changkong, I hope you can go to Minghua University.”

The further away from bad friends, the better!

Besides, my brother’s grades are perfectly fine for that school!

“…Okay.” Si Yisi pretended to think for a moment before answering. His eyes narrowed slightly in secret thought. How should I put it?

No effort needed to achieve it?

Ha, I don’t need to go through any trouble to find Lu Chaoxi. He could just find a place out of sight of the cameras and casually throw him in a sack, giving him a good beating every day!

Just thinking about it made him feel satisfied!

“Okay.” Gu Haoyue left with satisfaction.

She went to the balcony to make a call to Lu Chaoxi, and noticed that he seemed to be in a bad mood. “Chaoxi, what happened?”

“No… nothing.” Lu Chaoxi twisted his face as he muted a steamy movie. As he watched an adult movie, to his surprise, there was no reaction down below!!

But Lu Chaoxi stubbornly kept his face straight, his face turning purple from holding it in, and repeated again, “No… nothing.”

“Ah…” Gu Haoyue gently comforted her boyfriend for a few moments before bringing up, “Chaoxi, my brother will be attending Minghua University, and I’d like you to take extra care of him.”

“…Got it.” Although Lu Chaoxi responded, it was clear that his attention was entirely elsewhere!

Why, why, why me! It felt like he had lost the ability to perform!

The veins on Lu Chaoxi’s face, which had turned the color of pig liver, bulged out, and his expression twisted horribly as he let out a terrifying roar.

System 1314! Damn it, this cursed and restless system!

***

A few days later.

The ‘Towards Heaven’ that Lu Chaoxi had published gradually garnered a lot of attention from readers. Even though some of the female character portrayals were criticized, it didn’t diminish the excitement and twists of the plot!

Lu Chaoxi looked at this magnificent scene, but his expression remained dark, and he was filled with a gloomy, negative aura.

At that moment, a comment under the story caught Lu Chaoxi’s attention.

[Hello, Chao Xi, I really like your ‘Towards Heaven’ updates. However, recently, while browsing Jinjiang, I accidentally found an article that might be plagiarized from yours.]

Lu Chaoxi furrowed his brows.

[The article is also called ‘Towards Heaven’, and the author is Kong Yue.]

When Lu Chaoxi heard this pen name, his body involuntarily shuddered, but then he realized that the rage from being unable to perform could all be vented onto this Kong Yue!

So what if this person would be famous in the future?

Wouldn’t they still be trampled under my feet?

Si Yisi looked at the discordant comments flooding into his otherwise harmonious comment section, raising an eyebrow.

So it has begun.

Ha!
