The Strategy of That Scum [Quick Transmigration] (MTL)

Chapter 2: Substitute (Part 1)

"You think you're someone special? What gives you the right to compare yourself to her? You're just a substitute I found to pass the time. Do you really think we're in a romantic relationship? Hah, take a look at yourself and see if you're even worthy."

Huh? Substitute? What is this person talking about? Wait, who is this person?

Ding—

System prompt: Detected Scumbag Jiang Chengyi, system rating 98, considered a key target for conquest. Would you like to initiate favorability check?

Rong Yi, who had just regained her senses, was bewildered by the two statements she heard. Her eyes widened, and tears that had been accumulating for a long time fell directly from her eyes, heavily landing on the back of the person in front of her.

Did I... cry?

She instinctively lowered her head. She hadn't cried much in her life, not even when her biological mother passed away. Now, why was she crying in front of this unfamiliar man? Well, he is quite handsome, though. Wait, what is this system thing?

However, as her hot tears hit him, the man's fingers holding her chin involuntarily trembled. Seeing her lower her head, looking so sad that it was hard to restrain herself, he furrowed his brows. There was a trace of guilt in his heart, but he also felt that what he said earlier was not wrong. After all, she was just a substitute he found, how could she compare to Yiruo? That would be an insult to Yiruo!

With these thoughts in mind, the man removed his hand from her chin, looked down at Rong Yi, and was about to say something when a ringing sound suddenly interrupted them. Perplexed, he took out his phone from his pocket and answered the call. After just a moment, his pupils dilated, and he suddenly shouted, "Alright! I'm coming to find you, wait for me! Definitely wait for me!"

After so many years, he finally had news of Yiruo. This time, he must find her before his brother does, he must!

Clutching his phone tightly, he was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. Without even looking at Rong Yi again, he grabbed his coat from the side and rushed out like a gust of wind.

Immersed in her own thoughts, Rong Yi was startled by the slamming sound of the door. When she raised her head again, the whole room had become empty.

Hey, where did the person go? There was supposed to be a man just now, a man who matched her aesthetic preferences, right? Where is he?

Rong Yi looked surprised.

After thinking about it, she lowered her head and looked at the palm of her hand. She could be almost certain that these hands were definitely not hers; hers were not so rough. So, did she just transmigrate?

At this moment, she suddenly remembered the mechanical sound she had heard earlier...

"System?"

She tentatively called out.

After a moment of silence, the voice, indistinguishable between male and female, finally resounded.

"Host, may I ask if you have any requests?"

"You, um, aren't you going to explain things to me a bit?"

"What aspect of knowledge would you like to know?"

"Everything!"

Rong Yi was annoyed. She was a novice in this, dealing with scumbags, ratings, and conquest targets. Wasn't the system supposed to provide her with a beginner's guide or something?
