Ch 59 (Part 1): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

Yan Tong and Xie Wenxu both left with unpleasant expressions.

Xie Wenxu’s face turned pale. He had originally thought that he could easily let go of Fang Ziyang. When they first encountered the engagement, he was relieved. But now that he realized Fang Ziyang had truly moved on from him, he felt an indescribable discomfort and pain in his heart.

The indifferent attitude, without even a trace of mockery, made him feel like he had lost something important.

Yan Tong, on the other hand, was struck by those words and felt a deep sense of worry in his heart.

If in the past, he had absolute confidence in himself, believing that he was the protagonist of this world, that the men he set his eyes on would kneel by his side and fall in love with him, and that he was the center of this world with everyone revolving around him.

But ever since the trending video turned against him and the Fang family encountered one mishap after another, his self-confidence had been severely undermined.

Especially now that he had become Xie Wenxu’s official boyfriend, various small problems arose in their interactions. Xie Wenxu, who used to look at him with adoration, now occasionally showed disappointment because of him. It made Yan Tong deeply understand one thing.

That is, this world is not just like the novels he had read before. This is the real world.

The people here might be influenced by the world’s consciousness, but they definitely won’t be completely controlled, and their character settings won’t remain unchanged.

In other words, if he doesn’t take good care of it, Xie Wenxu’s feelings for him won’t always stay deep and affectionate.

That’s why he was so eager to inform Xie Wenxu about Shi Liangchen’s existence.

He even half-revealed the information about the golden finger, because he needed to increase his weight in Xie Wenxu’s heart. He no longer had confidence in solely relying on their feelings to hold onto Xie Wenxu.

This was his most secret concern, and now Fang Ziyang had directly pointed it out to him.

Looking at the increasingly dazzling and radiant Fang Ziyang, Yan Tong felt an indescribable panic and worry in his heart.

He felt that he couldn’t just sit back and wait anymore.

With Fang Ziyang’s rising speed, every day he delayed would add another obstacle to his path of counterattack.

…

The panic in his heart forced Yan Tong to regroup and decide to formulate a new plan.

On the second day of knowing that Fang Ziyang was also in Baixing Village, Yan Tong couldn’t contain himself and secretly sought out Shi Meijing.

“Ten million. No matter what method you use, persuade your brother to get close to Fang Ziyang and participate in the next Hongmeng Computer Competition together with him. Once it’s successful, besides the three million reward, I will also find you the perfect bone marrow match.”

Yan Tong took out a check as soon as they met, getting straight to the point with a slightly superior and condescending attitude.

He was no longer the insignificant character he used to be before transmigrating. Not to mention his identity as a transmigrator favored by Heaven, with the halo of the Heavenly Dao shining upon him. Even with the money he had in his hands now, he could afford to live a little luxuriously.

Although Fang Yandong had forcibly obtained some information from him regarding the college entrance examination scores, it wasn’t for free. He had demanded a substantial sum of money for that information.

During the time he spent with Xie Wenxu, Xie Wenxu had also given him a considerable amount of pocket money. While he felt somewhat reluctant to spend tens of millions all at once, he could still afford it if he gritted his teeth.

Even if Shi Liangchen couldn’t be persuaded at the moment, having Shi Meijing as a burden would surely make Shi Liangchen lower his head.

A check for ten million may sound simple, but when placed in front of an ordinary person, no one would remain unaffected.

However, although Shi Meijing was somewhat tempted, she didn’t immediately lose her composure.

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

“Fellow student Yan, what do you mean by this? What do you want my brother to do? Although our family is in need of money, we won’t do anything that goes against our conscience. Moreover, Fang Ziyang isn’t someone to be trifled with. His own elder brother is Tang Xun…”

Trying to make her deal with Fang Ziyang with just ten million? Did he think she was foolish? Regardless of anything else, Fang Ziyang was the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Could he be lacking in intelligence? And behind him was a research genius like Tang Xun, with a solid background. It was a guaranteed powerhouse in a few words.

Shi Meijing wasn’t foolish. She rejected his offer with a sense of dignity. “I don’t need that much money. My brother has already raised enough funds for my surgery, and a suitable match will be found soon. I don’t want to get involved in your conflicts.”

Moreover, once she captured Xie Wenxu, would she still need these few paltry tens of millions?

However, they were both cunning foxes. Who couldn’t see through the other?

Moreover, Yan Tong was someone who knew the world’s plot, and he understood Shi Meijing better than anyone.

Yan Tong’s gaze was disdainful. “Shi Meijing, do you really think you can find a suitable bone marrow match?”

“What do you mean?”

“Exactly what it means. Besides me, no one else can help you find a match, and I won’t let such a thing happen.”

Yan Tong sneered. “Shi Meijing, I thought highly of you by giving you this task. If you don’t know what’s good for you, I don’t mind making sure your surgery can never be completed. If you don’t believe me, feel free to give it a try.”

“You… How dare you openly threaten someone! Aren’t you afraid I’ll go to the police station and report you…”

Shi Meijing’s face changed drastically.

She never expected that Yan Tong would threaten her so directly, without giving her a chance to negotiate. It was audacious and brazen to the extreme.

In fact, Yan Tong was feeling extremely audacious at the moment.

Because he was facing Shi Meijing, a weak and powerless woman with no money and a frail body.

If he didn’t dare to confront Fang Ziyang head-on, would he still be afraid of bullying Shi Meijing? He had been suffocating during this period of time, and now Shi Meijing was like an ant he could easily manipulate.

Facing Shi Meijing’s angry questioning, Yan Tong didn’t feel guilty at all. On the contrary, his smile became even more contemptuous.

“If you don’t want your dirty secrets to be exposed in advance, and if you don’t want your brother to kill you, then go ahead and report me to the police station, or go outside and spread the word about how I threatened you. Give it a try, and you’ll be the one to suffer first. If I die first…”

This was the trump card that made Yan Tong dare to directly manipulate Shi Meijing. With the plot in his hands, he held the world.

Although Shi Meijing didn’t say anything, her gaze was filled with resentment, and she tightly clenched her fist.

…

Fang Ziyang was unaware of the private situation with Yan Tong.

However, it didn’t prevent him from guessing that the more successful he became, the more anxious and desperate Yan Tong would become, trying to hinder him in any way possible.

In short, the worse he fared, the more reassured and happy Yan Tong would be.

And one of Yan Tong’s biggest advantages was his familiarity with the plot. He would definitely use the characters he was familiar with to achieve his goals.

Now, Shi Meijing was a good choice.

But Shi Meijing wasn’t just a minor character. In the previous life, this woman had caused a lot of trouble for Yan Tong, jumping up and down like a super scheming green tea bitch, with formidable tactics. Many times, she had made Yan Tong feel extremely frustrated.

But back then, Yan Tong’s protagonist halo was powerful enough to prevent Shi Meijing from succeeding.

Now, in this life, these two white lotus green tea bitches had come together again, and he had given them a small push. So, what kind of scene would it be when Shi Meijing faced off against Yan Tong once more?

Fang Ziyang believed that Shi Meijing would definitely not disappoint him.

In the following days, although Xie Wenxu and Yan Tong were still in Baixing Village, they didn’t come to bother him anymore.

Fang Ziyang breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn’t in the mood to waste time with these people. There was less than a month left of summer vacation, and he had to convince Grandpa Li to go to Jiang City before it ended.

Initially, he was confident about convincing Grandpa Li.

But when he actually tried to put it into action, he realized it wasn’t easy!

Li Xiao had mentioned that Grandpa Li was stubborn and extremely timid, and he wasn’t exaggerating at all!

No matter how many years had passed since the reform and opening up, for Grandpa Li, he still lived in the shadow of the chaotic era. He not only resisted the outside world but also had a strong aversion to strangers.

Fang Ziyang felt that it wasn’t just the influence of the environment that caused Grandpa Li to become like this. There must have been something that happened when Grandpa Li was young, which made this old man behave this way even at this age.

However, when he talked to Li Xiao’s family about it, they were also unaware of what had happened.

As for communicating with Grandpa Li… forget it, there was no hope of getting the old man to speak up voluntarily.

In the end, Fang Ziyang had no choice.

He could only resort to unconventional means and find Li Xiao.

“I have a method that might uncover the reason behind Grandpa’s condition, but it requires the consent of your family.”

“What method?”

“Hypnosis. There was a sleep software that appeared online before, right? It influences the brain’s neural networks through sound waves to create dreams. I’ve studied that software in detail, although I haven’t fully grasped it, I’ve figured out something and made a similar hypnotic software myself…”

Fang Ziyang explained, half-truth and half-falsehood.
