Chapter 154
To think that such an ability exists. Su Shi felt that the [Come, Come and Hit Me] ability was simply tailor-made for him.
Su Shi remembered how he was forced to form a team with the protagonist as soon as he entered the last world, and he shook with trepidation from the lingering trauma. Without hesitation, he selected the [Come, Come and Hit Me] ability, and then he specifically bought a few more analgesic from the storehouse. Only then did he feel somewhat more at ease.
“Host, actually the early stage of this game will be somewhat perilous. The Dark God said that he would never partner up with us again. So we should go over our experiences. We can’t just depend on his help.”
After finally coming down from its high, the system conscientiously displayed numerous cheat secrets for carrying the pot on the screen: “I got these from the hosts of other systems, do you want to study them?”

“A ferocious expression and cold aura is a must. You must toss aside your own inherent image, quickly build a cold core, and regard yourself as a villain from the bottom of your heart.”
Su Shi nodded. With his chin in his hand he recited the advice again. He couldn’t help but look up at the system: “Am I not vicious enough?”
The system kept silent, Su Shi was silent for a moment, then nodded in compromise, and continued to read through the words very rapidly.
Seeing that Su Shi accepted the opinion humbly, the system also felt relieved, and continued to diligently come up with ideas: “The world automatically synthesizes the face, so it generally cannot be changed, but as long as the eye expressions are good, there will be no problem!”
Su Shi has gone through several worlds. It seemed that as long as a character developed some sort of relationship with him, their favorability of him would only rise and not fall.
Su Shi was aware of that to some extent. But when he first started playing this at high intensity, he always went the route of a gentle character that was good at shifting the blame away from himself. So even though he had to play the part of a devilish villain, he did not understand the core concepts of such a role.
Afer looking through the system’s shopping center, he happened to find an upgradeable skill called [Explosive Acting]. After pondering it for a while, he bought it and immediately equipped the skill.
Staying in this space for too long was useless and not advantageous, so after he finished resting up and reorganizing things, Su Shi chose to go to the next world.
His body plummeted.
When he opened his eyes again, the scenery had changed into the olden times.
Su Shi was currently sitting on a bamboo chair. In front of him was a sheet of white paper.

The eunuch who came to transmit the emperor’s edict was speaking in a shrill and indifferent voice: “The emperor has ordered that if Prime Minister Lu wants to explain anything then he should write it down on this piece of paper. After the emperor finishes dealing with the official business of the imperial court, he will naturally find time to read it…”
Ahh, he has returned to a familiar choice again.
When a brush was rudely stuffed into his hand, Su Shi’s expression remained unchanged. But he suddenly felt a vague tension that seemed like predestination.
According to experience, if he straight up confessed his sin, people would think that he was deliberately hiding some secret trouble. But if he opened his mouth to defend himself, the other person was likely to really wait for him to explain himself.
Unable to advance or retreat, Su Shi’s expression was slightly stern. He suddenly shook out his sleeves and stood up. He flicked both the brush in his hand and the piece of paper on the table to the floor.
He sneered, “Why should I explain?”
His face this time was clear and elegant. Even if he was just sitting upright and did not speak, he would exude a somewhat gentle and relaxing aura for no reason whatsoever. But at the moment, his eyes were suddenly as cold as frost and snow. He looked at the couple of eunuchs who had come to transmit the emperor’s orders. The expression in his eyes was fierce and killing intent spread out from him.

Su Shi frightened the eunuch so much that he did not dare to say another word. The eunuch picked up the piece of paper on the floor and scrambled out of the room with his head bowed, not daring to look back.
But before the eunuch could make his way back to the imperial study, he bumped into the regent Song Rong, and the piece of paper in his hand was taken away.
There was not a single word written on it. There were only splatters of ink left on it from when the brush and paper were flicked onto the floor.
“Wangye*, this is what the emperor told Prime Minister Lu to-”
[*T/N: 王爷 wang ye – a prince, marquis, or nobleman]
The eunuch spoke hurriedly, but Song Rong’s expression had already sunk slightly. His dark eyes were faintly cold: “The emperor only told you people to come and question him [as a suspect]. Who allowed you to humiliate him like this?”
The ink splatters were disorderly. It was evident that such marks were caused by carelessly flinging the brush and paper on the floor.
The eunuch’s expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly wanted to explain, but Song Rong had already instructed in a low voice: “Acting like a fox that exploits the tiger’s might*. Just because you have something to rely on, you’re riding roughshod over people. Such people should not be serving the emperor. Take him away.”
[*T/N: “the fox exploits the tiger’s might” is an idiom meaning to use powerful connections to intimidate other people, even though you might not have any power yourself]
Before the eunuch could speak, the imperial guards on both sides had already come up and dragged him away without any explanations. Not too long after, there were faint screams in the distance.

The advisor behind him hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward to speak.
“Wangye, Prime Minister Lu is on the verge of life and death because of a serious crime, and he will be thrown into prison soon. Even if a castrated man humiliates him, he does not say a word [in retaliation]…”
Song Rong folded up the piece of paper and tucked it away. He sighed softly, “The fact that he did not say anything speaks volumes of his unhappiness. Let’s reply back to the emperor first. Say that Prime Minister Lu is not feeling well. I’m going to visit him [Prime Minister Lu] now.”
The author has something to say:
Su Shi: Is there a way for me to survive??? ∑(O□O；)
#No, no, I wasn’t humiliated.
#I’m not gentle or relaxing!
#I want to squat in prison!!!

Dark Eunuch: Is there a way for me to survive?!?! (つДQ)
Thanks for the update
