《There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions of Starting a Harem》Chapter 104
Advertisement
When the twins, Chigita and Anuot, saw that there was someone in their living room, their smiles dimmed, and they walked forward to greet Ye Zhizhou. Ye Zhizhou also quickly got up to greet them and then politely introduced himself. Lastly, he looked at the protagonist, Eddie, pretended to look nervous and excited and quickly said, "I heard earlier that there was a double majoring genius who's in two departments. When I saw the names on the door of each person's room, I was surprised. It's a great honor to share a dorm with you. Actually, I also wanted to do a double major. You gave me the courage to challenge the impossible, thank you."
"You also want to do a double major?" When Chigita heard this, he curiously came up and asked, "What major do you want asides from mecha manufacturing? With your qualifications, it would be difficult to double major." On each person's door was a nameplate that included basic information such as gender and aptitude, so things like aptitude were transparent between roommates.
"Chigita!" Anuot felt a headache rising, and pulled his brother back. He smiled apologetically at Ye Zhizhou and explained, "My brother's words have no other meaning. My name is Anuot, nice to meet you."
"I'm Chigita." Chigita leaned forward again, smiling very sweetly. "Although Anuot and I look very similar, I'm the more handsome one. He's like a little old man, very recognizable."
Ye Zhizhou couldn't resist softly laughing. The twins' personalities seemed to be much easier to get along with than what the original plot information had mentioned. Once again, he reintroduced himself to both of them. He scratched his head and sheepishly said, "I want to also major in genetic research, but I have to pass the exam before I can do a double major."
"Genetic research?" Chigita was surprised, and then displayed admiration in his eyes. "Pansy, you're even more amazing than Eddie. You actually picked the difficult genetic research major!"
Anuot was also momentarily surprised, but then quickly pulled himself together and said, "If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask. I wish you good luck on your test."
"Thank you." Ye Zhizhou also sweetly smiled, and then, using the space ring as a cover took a few things out of his space. He handed them over one by one and said, "I have prepared some gifts for you guys... Just some little trinkets, but I hope you like them."
"Ohoh, what's this? It smells sweet and feels comfortable." Chigita turned the small pendant over in his hand, lifted it to his nose and curiously sniffed it. He then happily said, "Sky blue. I like this color. It also feels a little cool in my hands."
Of course the crystal nucleus of a high-grade ice zombie would feel cool... Ye Zhizhou couldn't bear seeing the image of a handsome man sniffing a zombie's crystal nucleus. He looked away and uneasily said, "This thing is called a crystal nucleus. I got it by chance. It has the effect of soothing spiritual power, but it must not be absorbed, otherwise, it'll conflict with the spiritual power." When he was bored back then, he tried to remove the crystal nucleus' impurities, and then found that a level three high-grade ice and wood crystal nucleus could soothe spiritual power after it was purified; it was very useful.
When Chigita heard this, he quickly withdrew the leaking spiritual power and patted his chest. "Okay, okay. I almost couldn't stop myself from absorbing it. Thank you, Pansy. I really like this gift. This will definitely save me some time and effort when I train!"

Ye Zhizhou responded with a smile and then looked at Anuot.
Anuot's present was a Gundam model. Yes, it was a Gundam model that could be assembled and disassembled. It was even a limited edition! This world's mechas looked similar to Gundams. Anuot was a model fanatic who liked to dismantle model mechas. This gift could be considered very to his taste.
"Thanks, I like it a lot." Anuot's attention was already entirely on the new mecha model. After hurriedly thanking him, he sat on the sofa with the mecha model and began to single-mindedly focus on it.
"Stupid brother." Chigita ignored him and snorted, but glanced at the toy in Anuot's hand and then looked at the pendant in his hand. He then walked forward and hooked an arm around Ye Zhizhou's neck, saying in a quiet voice, "Although this crystal nucleus that can soothe spiritual power is very good, but, cough, do you still have more mecha models?"
Ye Zhizhou glanced at him from the corner of his eye, absolutely not expecting that the twin could have such a thick face. He took out a non-limited version of the Gundam model from his space and stuffed it into Chigita's hands. He replied with an equally quiet voice, "These models aren't available for purchase, this is the only one left—if it gets broken, it can't be replaced."
When Chigita heard this, the hand that was holding the model trembled, and he held it even more carefully. "Don't worry, I'll properly hide it. I'll never let my stupid brother find out!"
The two tacitly looked at each other and laughed. The revolutionary friendship bridge was successfully built.
Eddie, who had been given the cold shoulder, slightly frowned and lowered his head to look down at the book in his hand. He smiled and then walked up towards the two, and with a natural and intimate attitude, said, "Thank you for the book, Pansy. I like it very much."
Ye Zhizhou tilted his head to look at him and continued to shyly smile. "It's great that you like it." He had meticulously selected this novel that involved defeating the Mary Sue female protagonist's harem. The pacing of the story was good, with a compact writing style, and the Mary Sue's ending was particularly tragic! The protagonist must really take a good look!
"What book?" Chigita curiously approached them but was then dragged back by Ye Zhizhou. "I have another book here, you can take it if you want to read it." He took out a book about a male lead that was being two-timed by the female protagonist, and then tormented to the point where his life was so bleak that he was better off dead. "I also brought some snacks. Start on the book, I'll go get them."
Chigita cried out happily, gave him a big hug and then ran to where Anuot was sitting while hugging the book. Eddie's hand that was holding the book unconsciously clenched and doubt flashed in his eyes. He clearly chose a gloomy person with an unpleasant personality as his last roommate, but this person...
[The protagonist's system is scanning you.]
Ye Zhizhou didn't look at the light screen that popped up in front of him. He continued to slowly load snack onto the plate, asking in his mind, "The protagonist's system has a scanning function?"
[Yes. I can detect it but it can't detect me. And the scanning function is only basic, it can only identify a person's aptitude.]

This smug little appearance... he poked at the little mirror in his pocket, a bit amused. He turned around holding the snack plate, pretending not to see the shock in Eddie's eyes and called out with a smile, "Eddie, why are you still standing at the door? Come and sit down."
Eddie quickly suppressed his surprise and sat down on the sofa a bit stiffly. "Pansy, the genetic research major seems to have a spiritual power rank requirement. If you're only A-rank, wouldn't you fail the exam?"
"I'll study hard." Ye Zhizhou set the snacks on the tea table and then sat next to Eddie, pouring him a glass of juice before handing it to him. "As for spiritual power rank, I'm actually an SS-rank."
Actually an SS-rank! Eddie's heart tightened, and he raised his finger, pointing at Pansy's room door. "But, the nameplate on your door..."
"Ah, yes that. It should be changed tomorrow." He pretended to be embarrassed, smiled and said, "Before I actually enrolled, my spiritual power rank suddenly increased, and it was a little unstable. My family filled it in as A-rank just to be safe. After all, there are some stories about spiritual power becoming unstable and falling after increasing a rank."
"So it was like that." The corner of Eddie's mouth slightly quirked up, and he reluctantly smiled. He glanced at the twins, who were reading a book and dismantling a mecha model, on the other side of the room from the corner of his eye. He was a little upset. He had purposely used the system to arrange himself to be roommates with the twins, and also chose Pansy, this mediocre and unpleasant person to be a foil, but now... SS-rank spiritual power, with a double major in genetic research and mecha manufacturing... Where was he mediocre? Who was a foil for who? Damn it!
With a cry of surprise, Chigita, who was reading the book, suddenly jumped straight off the sofa. "What a terrible person! Unexpectedly simultaneously falling for both brothers. And to even seduce one while stringing the other one along! Rotten character! Disgusting!"
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
Anuot was so startled by his yelling that he almost ripped off one of the Gundam's arms. He looked up and pulled Chigita back down onto the sofa. He frowned. "What did you read that made you so riled up like this? Be quiet."
"It's the book that little Pansy gave me. The book's female protagonist is so bad, she actually fell in love with a pair of brothers at the same time. And then the brothers even became enemies for this woman!" Chigita rapidly told him the book's plot and then looked at him with pitiful and abandoned eyes. "Anuot, if one day, we both liked the same person, and that person also fell in love with both of us, would you turn against me and fight me for that woman?" As he said this, he unconsciously imagined such a scene happening, and it caused him to become so sad he almost cried.
Anuot really wanted to hit him. "Why would I like such an indecisive sham of a person? Unless you become hateful to me first, I won't leave you."
Chigita was moved and hugged him, rubbing against him. "Stupid brother, I'm not leaving you either."
Anuot pushed him away with a dark face, protecting the model in his hand. "But, if you dare to play with my model secretly, I'll never forgive you for the rest of my life."
Chigita's moved expression froze, and then he rushed up to angrily hit him. "Asshole brother! Breaking off relations with you!"
[The probability of Chigita, Anuot and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 80%, may the host persist in his efforts.]
Ye Zhizhou beamed at the fighting twins and leaned over to Eddie who had a stiff expression. He discussed the plot with him. "Eddie, I also think that the female protagonist is very bad. How could love accommodate a third person, don't you think so?"
"Uhh, en..." Eddie vaguely answered, pretending to be absorbed in his book, but there was a glimmer of darkness in his eyes. This damn Pansy wasn't the same as the one mentioned in the profile! And that book... He took a deep breath, holding back his anger as schemes began to fly through his mind. It can't continue to be like this. He has to find a way to get Pansy out of his dormitory.
On the principle of reciprocity, after accepting Ye Zhizhou's gifts, the occupied twins' attitude towards Ye Zhizhou quickly changed, becoming warmer. On the contrary, Eddie, who spoke less, didn't fit into the group as much.
During the freshman military training, Eddie was indeed assigned to Ned's team, while Ye Zhizhou was assigned to another, more mild-tempered instructor. Since the twins were alphas, they had already been called away by the alpha instructor.
After the teams were assigned the students followed their instructors to the training ground in another part of the campus. As Ye Zhizhou mingled with the crowd, he also found Ned's position and turned on the system's scanning function to scan them.
[Scan completed. Healthy body, no hidden illnesses. There are traces of violent fractures in the spiritual power sea, the fractures may break at any time. Applicable Pills: Top grade Ningshen and Anshen pill.]
Ye Zhizhou frowned. The spiritual power sea was the source of one's spiritual power. Even just a little bit of damage could cause spiritual power instability, the collapse of it would be even more terrible. The lucky ones would just become fools, and the unlucky ones would directly die. He hadn't expected that Ned's hidden injury was actually so serious, and, it was violent fractures which were even more painful.
The freshman training was very exhausting. The original owner's physical qualifications were poor. Ye Zhizhou directly fell to the ground after the day of training. The twins jogged over from the other side of the training ground while covered in sweat, dragged him up from the ground, and said, "Walk, walk. Let's go eat, we'll help you stretch your muscles after the meal. You'll be in a world of pain tomorrow if you just collapse like this."
"Hold on," Ye Zhizhou grabbed them and pointed to the team that was still training in the corner. "Eddie still hasn't been dismissed yet."
Chigita looked in the direction he pointed to and said with sympathy, "Eddie is so unfortunate to be assigned to Ned's group. Usually, a beta like him should be assigned to a team like little Pansy's."
"He has an SS-rank constitution, so it's not suitable to be on the same team with other betas." Anuot understood better, but his eyes were still full of sympathy. "But Eddie is truly unlucky. Instructor Ned was someone that the Eldest Highness trained... But alas, the Eldest Highness..." He shook his head, eyes full of admiration and pity.
Chigita also sighed when he heard this. "How could an excellent person like the Eldest Highness just not awaken their spiritual power? God is too unfair!"
Ye Zhizhou raised his eyebrows, Eldest Highness? The plot information didn't have much information on them. It had just mentioned that they were a waste who couldn't awaken their spiritual power and thus were deprived of the right to inheritance early, their existence similar to just a puppet. But, the twins' tone just now when they had mentioned the Eldest Highness made it seem like the other side was very powerful? Just as he was about to ask, there was a sudden cry of alarm from Ned's group. He quickly turned his head around to look and saw Eddie helplessly standing in front of the team, facing Ned who had just collapsed on the ground.
[Detected that the protagonist's system has turned on its scanning function. Asking Host to please pay attention.]
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
Startled, he quickly hurried towards them. In the original plot, the protagonist found out about the hidden injury in Ned's spiritual sea during a private training session with the instructor. This was just the first day of freshman training, it couldn't be this early...
[Does Host wish to cut off the protagonist's system's signal?]
"You actually have this capability?"
The little mirror shook in his pocket and the contents of the light screen changed. [Asking Host to please trust the system.]
"Then, hurry up and stop it! Don't let Eddie see the problem!"
The light screen disappeared, turning into tiny pieces of light that floated towards the protagonist.
As he finished speaking, he had reached Ned's location, and he became aware of the instability of the other's spiritual power. He quickly sent out his spiritual power to surround Ned and then slowly tried to placate the spiritual power floating around.
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
"I-I just knocked into the instructor." Eddie somewhat helplessly leaned forward, wanting to help Ned up. "Instructor, are you okay? I'm sorry. I'll bring you to the infirmary."
"Don't touch me yet." As one of the alpha leads, there was nothing to nitpick about Ned's appearance. He was very virile and handsome, but he had deep wrinkles between his eyebrows, making him look serious. He sat up from the ground and glanced at Ye Zhizhou before he waved towards Eddie. "It's not your problem, don't apologize. My spiritual power was a little unstable. I just didn't control myself properly and suffered a little shock."
At this moment, Eddie had already received his system's scanning results. Hearing Ned's words, he withdrew his hand and was confused. Why didn't his system detect anything...?
"Instructor, are you really alright?" Ye Zhizhou took out a bottle of water from his space and handed it to Ned. He was still encompassing the other with his spiritual power as he concernedly said, "You should go to the infirmary."
The restless spiritual power was gradually eased, and Ned's expression relaxed a lot. He accepted the bottle of water and took a sip, then stood up and patted Ye Zhizhou on the shoulder. "Thank you. All right, everyone can go now, today's training is over." As he said this, he suddenly frowned, raising his hand to rub his temple, and then looked down at the water bottle in his hand.
The students who had been mercilessly trained for the day saw that he was all right and successively left. Ye Zhizhou withdrew his spiritual power and made preparations to seemingly leave with the twins. As expected, he was called out by Ned.
"This student, you stay behind for a bit."
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
Eddie stopped and looked back when he heard this. Ned motioned towards him, indicating that he didn't mean him. He then looked at Ye Zhizhou, who also looked back. "You stay behind, I have something to ask you."
The twins obscurely looked at Ye Zhizhou with sympathy and pulled the frozen Eddie away.
"Instructor." Ye Zhizhou stepped forward and saluted him.
"You don't have to be so serious." Ned lowered his tone and raised the water bottle as he asked, "What did you add to it?"
Ye Zhizhou squeezed out a nervous expression and replied in a small voice, "I added in some pills that I made myself to help calm my spiritual power. Don't worry, Instructor, there's absolutely no problem with the pills. I usually take them myself, and I've also tested them before. There are no toxic side effects. Really!"
"You don't have to be so tense." Ned awkwardly tried to comfort him with a few words and then said, "I'm sure you've also noticed that there was something wrong with my spiritual power. Right after I drank the water you gave me, I felt much better, so thank you."
"I'm glad that it was useful." He conveniently took out a small bottle of pills from his space and handed it to Ned. He purely and foolishly smiled. "I have a lot of pills, I'll give you this bottle. If your spiritual power isn't stable, then please avoid getting too emotional. Instructor, you need to pay a little more attention to this when doing one on one training."
Ned hesitated, but still accepted his pills in the end, thanking him again.
Seeing that his plan worked, he quickly took out a crystal full of spiritual power and a wood type crystal nucleus to hand to Ned. "My spiritual power is rather relaxing, perhaps it might be useful to you. This crystal bead also has the effect of soothing spiritual power. If you don't mind it, please accept both of them."
One thing after another, Ned looked at his warm and pure expression, unable to say no. He accepted the items and then opened his communicator. "Give me your account number, I'll transfer some money to you."
Ye Zhizhou was baffled.
