Reborn As a System

Reading up to that point, Shi Qing was already filled with sympathy for old Patriarch Ye.

As a great marshal over the span of his military life, it truly was hard for him to suffer over the shenanigans of his children in his old age.

Shi Qing had another look through the plot introduction. Frankly, they didn’t have that much to do this time around, and he still couldn’t be sure about who his host would transmigrate into. Speaking of which, all the characters that appeared so far seemed like an odd bunch. It felt like trouble.

Oh well, there was no need to dwell on it. He could just about guess who his host was transmigrating into when he saw the main assignment.

So, Shi Qing scrolled down with interest. Truthfully…That omega who ran away from marriage suits the host quite well. A rebellious and uninhibited omega paired with the host’s cold, proud, black-bellied personality and superb looks…

What a peerless match!

（﹃）Drool…Just can’t stop thinking about it!

However, after seeing the target of the mission, he was stunned.

Their mission…really was quite the task! It was the first time he’d seen such a long list of mission objectives, and all of them seemed like side tasks?

He looked on carefully.

The first line said: side task/mission 1, find a 100% perfectly matching lover.

The second line said: side task 2, continue the Ye family bloodline.

The third line said: side task 3, marry off the younger brother.

Reading up to that point, the only expression left on Shi Qing’s face was 囧. The hell kind of tasks were these? What happened to integrity? Integrity, are you okay?

Integrity expressed that it has run away from home since a long time ago.

So, when he saw the fourth line, Shi Qing had the classic dead fish eyes. For the main mission, please explore on your own.

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ What do you mean explore! You dare to be irresponsible again?

While complaining inside, a small line of text appeared below the screen, ‘Option available to abandon the mission due to difficulty being higher than the host’s level’.

Shi Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God. They weren’t so unreasonable after all. They could still abandon the mission.

Right then, another small line of words popped up. ‘According to incomplete statistics, the reward for completing the mission is no less than 250,000 points’.

Shi Qing: ⊙—⊙…⊙▽⊙…~(≧▽≦)/~

250,000 points, and “no less” than that even. To hell with integrity, responsibility, or difficulty. They’re all just floating clouds! 

He gazed starry-eyed at his host with a look of anticipation.

Qin Mo was more sensible than him. After looking at the side tasks, he just about had an idea of what was going on. There was a big chance he would transmigrate into either the second or third alpha brother this time, and the very end of the mission should be the third side task, to marry off the younger brother.

The fourth son of old Patriarch Ye was an omega, and his fifth son was a beta. With the word “marry off” being used, you could just about pin that down to the omega. Also, as the big brother, he could only be the second or third brother.

No matter whether he transmigrated into the second or third brother, he had to deal with the two side tasks first.

The first task was to find a lover that he made the best match with. In that world, an omega would always be the most suitable partner for an alpha, so he needed to find one of those. That omega seemed to be completely indeterminate at the moment. He wasn’t sure if Shi Qing could possibly transmigrate as that omega. If he had to choose someone else, then he would just abandon the task straight out.

The second task was to continue the Ye family bloodline, and it seemed to be a continuation of the first side task. He needed his omega to bear him a child. Of course, there were also loopholes to that task. After all, there wasn’t just a single alpha in the family at the moment. It was possible for him to get the other alpha to continue the bloodline regardless of whether he transmigrated into the second or third brother. That also counted as the continuation of the Ye family bloodline.

Qin Mo thought about it over and over again. It seemed possible to finish the latter two side tasks. If the first task did not go according to plan, then even if he gave up on that, the remaining reward after cutting out that task’s portion was still substantial. So to say, it was an acceptable world.

Not to mention, that wasn’t set in stone yet.

He turned around and looked at Shi Qing, asking, “Will you be able to choose your own character when we transmigrate?”

Shi Qing was still immersed in the promise of the 250,000 points so when he heard Qin Mo’s question, he just nodded instinctively, “Mhm. Yeah.”

“Try to pick an omega if possible.”

That single sentence brought Shi Qing back to his senses. He looked at Qin Mo with both eyes open wide.

Before he could answer, however, Qin Mo looked at him and touched his fair, slender neck before speaking in a low voice, “I’ll transmigrate into an alpha.”

Shi Qing endured the ticklish feeling at his neck and the wheels in his brain began to turn. In the next instant, he understood.

Qin Mo even pulled him close, kissing him on his sensitive skin. “I just want to be with you.”

His ambiguous words brought with them an alluring heat. Shi Qing…felt scalded and quickly dodged away a little, responding, “Oh…okay.”

Only after agreeing did he realize. He…Was he fighting for the right to become Qin Mo’s so-called best matching lover?

…

His mind went blank for a moment. Then, Shi Qing’s professional self-reassurance came online.

There’s no way about it, right? Thinking about it carefully, there was no way Qin Mo could decide who he transmigrated into. He had to do whatever he was assigned. So, he could only transmigrate as an alpha. On the other hand, he could choose his own character as the system. That must be why his host brought up that request.

If he was an omega, then the two of them could complete the side task quickly, right?

Wasn’t it just a quick act…It’s not like it’s the first time they acted as lovers!

If the mission assigned Qin Mo to be an omega, then he would choose to become an alpha for the same reason. It was all for the mission, right?

After thinking about it this way, Shi Qing made his decision and no longer worried.

Then, he responded generously, “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely choose it that way if we get characters like these!”

Qin Mo smiled in satisfaction.

Since prep work was over, the actual transmigrating came next.

Neither of them were new to it, and they were also getting better and better at the tasks. After accepting the mission, the space-time shift began.

Shi Qing was observing everything carefully. It was the first time he chose his character by himself and he didn’t quite understand how to choose one.

However, Shi Qing was still very focused due to the heavy burden of the task. He was worried that he would get something wrong.

The moment they entered the space-time vortex, a character selection screen appeared.

He looked around excitedly and rushed to pick the omega.

Yet, after he realized what he was looking at, he was dumbfounded. Why was there only one option? Why was he only allowed to choose a single character?

Didn’t they promise him that he could choose his own character? So there’s only one choice for the so-called self-selection?

Shi Qing groaned but there was nothing he could complain about. He could only accept his fate and check the single character choice.

Well, his luck sucked!

It turned out to be old Patriarch Ye’s youngest son. The beta, Ye Qing.

It was bad enough that it wasn’t an omega, but they’re even brothers…

How were they going to complete the first task? There’s no way they could accomplish a completely perfect match!

In an instant, Shi Qing thought of his host getting together with another omega he was supposedly destined with, and having children…The thought made his scalp go numb.

Unfortunately, they had already accepted the mission. They had no option to abandon it. Whether they accepted it or not had already been laid out for them.

He was scammed! Shi Qing felt scammed!

Helplessly, he chose the character. On the verge of transmigrating, another notification popped up…

“Random additional conditions triggered by self character selection.”

Shi Qing was stunned. That didn’t sound so good…

“Additional condition randomization complete. Temporary sealing of partial memories with time limits…”

Shi Qing’s head was buzzing. Holy shit! You’re just messing with me!

What kind of system am I supposed to be? What kind of system has such shitty luck? I’d rather be a fallen angel in my next life than some shitty system!

During his burst of wailing, Shi Qing’s mind went numb. He successfully transmigrated.

His host had amnesia last time, and now the system had amnesia. Hehehe, hehe your face!

When Shi Qing woke up, his mind was buzzing and spinning unbearably. He looked dazedly around at his surroundings and was in a trance for a moment.

Where is this?

Didn’t he die?

The surgery was unsuccessful and his stomach cancer was already at an advanced stage. He clearly stopped breathing, so how did he come back to life?

Immediately afterwards, large portions of his memories came flooding back, and his headache got worse.

Alpha, bega, omega…the Galactic Federation, the Ye Family, five children…

God, what’s all this?

What a strange world. Men getting pregnant? Is this place made from the imaginations of those girls from his school or something?

Shi Qing’s head was hurting so badly that he was barely able to sort out his memories. Tragically, he realized that he really did die, and he even transmigrated into a strange world.

Into such a complicated person, too!

He was Ye Qing, a “beta” who had been hiding his identity as an omega for more than eighteen years and was about to be unable to continue hiding it soon.

Shi Qing tried to take a deep breath but he wasn’t able to manage it. He was so dizzy that he just fell asleep once more.

When he woke up again, he thought it was just a dream, but he was quite sad to find that he was still in the same magnificent but cold room.

Of the Ye family’s five children, he was the transparent, unloved beta. More importantly, he even kept such a big secret hidden.

Shi Qing really wanted to bang his head on a wall, falling over and dying again.

While he was still in a daze, his door was pushed open with great force, and a man with a tall figure appeared.

He wore a silvery-white uniform, had short, neat black hair, fair skin, and a face as delicate as treasure from the heavens.

That face was crowned by a pair of black eyes, deep as night, dark as if they swallowed everything up.

In an instant, a strong sense of familiarity struck him, and his heart was beating uncontrollably. Shi Qing was shocked and completely frozen.

He knew that man. He was Ye Qing’s third brother, Ye Mo.

No…Ye Qing didn’t know him. He, Shi Qing, knew him. He knew him, and could not be any more familiar with him, and the sight of him even caused his heart to beat instantly.

Just as if he saw the man he loved deeply.

But…He really had never seen him before.

There was no way such a heartthrob appeared in his short life.

If he did, he would never forget him. Never.

The instant he saw him, that man’s dark eyes seemed to have softened considerably. He walked close to him, and in a familiar motion, touched the back of his neck before asking in a tender voice, “So, was there no other choice?”

Eeek I’m so excited.
