The True Young Master's Metaphysical Road to Fame in Showbiz Ch. 51

"What a schemer," Father Chi scoffed, turning his back on him. His tone was indifferent. "Just as I thought—his fate is terrible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up like this. He's not like Qingning. He can't bring any benefits to the family. There's no reason to keep staying here. Let's go home."

Mother Chi agreed. "He's not presentable. Even if we took him back, he'd just embarrass us. Let's leave before he latches onto us."

Without a hint of hesitation, they turned and walked away—never once looking back.

The system gasped like it had just made an incredible discovery. "So your parents knew all along that Chi Qingning wasn't their biological child? And they didn't take you back just because your fate was 'unlucky'?"

Its voice took on a coaxing tone.

"Host, do you really not feel even a little bit of hatred? Chi Qingning stole the happiness that was supposed to be yours. Don't you want to take your life back?"

A sharp whistle echoed through the air.

Through the illusion, the system spotted the corpses suddenly going berserk, and its tone became even more triumphant.

"Reborn, host. As long as you agree to be reborn—I'll help you!"

Chi Qingzhou replied calmly, "But like I said before, there are no scumbags around me."

The system: "???" It was in utter disbelief. "Host, are you serious? How is this not scummy?! Your parents only care about Chi Qingning, that guy!"

Chi Qingzhou: "Maybe this is just a test? There's an old saying—'suffering is a blessing.' No need to make a big deal out of it."

The system: "..." It practically screamed, "Host, you're seriously messed up!!"

At this point, Chi Qingzhou was still so stubborn that the system almost glitched out from sheer frustration.

But whatever. There was no point in arguing.

After all, it had been waiting so long for this moment.

Why had it been so patient all this time?

Because this was the perfect opportunity.

Even if the host refused, it didn't matter—a revenant carried corpse poison.

As long as Chi Qingzhou got scratched even once, he was as good as dead.

Whether he agreed to reincarnation or not wouldn't make a difference then. In fact, dying outright would make things even easier.

The system let out a cold chuckle and simply said, "Suit yourself."

Chi Qingzhou's gaze flickered.

The system's reaction was... surprisingly calm. That meant it had something else planned.

Thinking back to the moment before he was dragged into this illusion, Chi Qingzhou pieced things together.

So, this system wasn't exactly some benevolent entity.

He slowly curled his right thumb, shifting it just a tiny distance from above his head.

His range of motion was expanding bit by bit—he was gradually getting used to the system's power.

To completely break free, he just needed more time.

Feeling more confident, Chi Qingzhou turned his attention upward, carefully scanning for anything out of place in his surroundings.

Honestly, he wasn't worried about the revenant attacking him at all.

Xing Shuangzhan was still outside—there was no way he'd let anything happen to him.

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Chi Qingzhou decided to stall for time.

He deliberately said, "I don't really get you. I'm happy with my life, but you keep trying to make me give it up. Every time you try to convince me, you say the same few lines over and over. But I've already told you—there are no scumbags around me."

The system let out another cold laugh, unwilling to argue anymore.

Chi Qingzhou: "You're really weird. Even financial scammers know they have to dangle some benefits and an actual plan before they can trick people. But you? You don't even have a strategy—you're just talking out of thin air and expect me to throw everything away. Who'd believe you?"

The system was caught off guard by the sudden change in topic and froze for a moment before realizing—

"Wait... Host, are you seriously doubting whether my reincarnation offer is legit?"

Chi Qingzhou didn't answer.

But the system took his silence as confirmation and was absolutely speechless.

It wanted to slap its past self for missing the point, but also wanted to grab Chi Qingzhou and shake him—if you were so doubtful, why didn't you ask earlier?!

Suppressing its jittery code, it blurted out loudly, "Host, I'm an experienced system, okay?!"

Every single host it had assisted had successfully reborn, reclaimed all their lost love and attention, and became the envy of everyone around them.

Those who stole their lives were crushed underfoot, never to rise again.

And all of that—was thanks to System No. 16594!

Of course, after all that hard work, it did collect a tiny bit of compensation.

Like some world energy that the host had no use for... or a little emotional energy from their admirers and friends...

But those details weren't important. What mattered was—it could help the host reclaim a perfect life.

The system spoke with absolute confidence, "I have a super detailed plan. The moment you reincarnate and activate my bonus module, I guarantee I can help you get everything back!"

Chi Qingzhou's voice was soft, "Is that so?"

"Of course! Host, just trust me!"

The system was so eager it wanted to pull out all its past achievements as proof.

It launched into an enthusiastic monologue about the perfect revenge arc it had planned for Chi Qingzhou post-rebirth.

"Your parents think your etiquette isn't good enough, right? Well, once you're reborn, I'll get you a professional etiquette coach first thing—"

"Anything produced by the system is top-tier. The etiquette teacher I found for you is way better than any high-society instructor!"

"They'll train you meticulously, ensuring you master every bit of etiquette and achieve the perfect posture. Once gracefulness is ingrained in your bones, your parents will never say you're an embarrassment to the family again!"

Chi Qingzhou: "Oh."

Seeing Chi Qingzhou listening so intently, the system got even more hyped, like it had just been injected with adrenaline.

Its mechanical voice was filled with excitement, "Once you're back home, I'll also unlock a set of practical skills for you. You'll be able to read the minds of all the key figures."

"You'll always know exactly what they want, making it effortless to gain anyone's favor."

"By then, whether it's your parents, your older brother, your fiancé, or even Chi Qingning's friends, they'll all like you more."
