The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 80 (Patreon)

Chapter 80

Ling Chunann stood by Feng Buyu's room door, clutching a pillow, then remained motionless. 098 noticed that Ling Chunann seemed to have no intention of knocking, and couldn't help but feel puzzled, "Host, why aren't you knocking?" Ling Chunann: "Don't worry, be patient." As soon as he finished speaking, the closed door in front of him clicked open, and Feng Buyu stood behind the door, "Darling?"

At that moment, thunder roared, and Ling Chunann swiftly dove into the man's arms, trembling, "Uncle, I'm scared." Watching the man being doted on like that, 098 remarked to itself, "… The host is getting more and more cunning."

Feng Buyu instinctively caught Ling Chunann, who was wearing his shirt, the oversized garment revealing a small part of his shoulder. Feng Buyu's gaze followed the boy's smooth and beautiful neck downwards, then he sucked in a breath, reluctantly shifting his gaze away, his voice slightly hoarse, "Darling, are you afraid of thunder?" Ling Chunann, seemingly oblivious to the man's reaction, buried his head in the man's chest, nodding slightly in response, "Yes."

Naturally, Ling Chunann boldly occupied half of the man's bed. "Darling, you go to sleep first, I'll go take a shower." After tucking Ling Chunann in, Feng Buyu patted his head, then quickly headed to the bathroom.

Ling Chunann turned to 098 and said, "Guess what he's going to do in the bathroom?" Innocently, 098 replied, "Wash, take a shower?" "Based on my years of experience, he just finished showering before he opened the door." "…" 098 deeply realized that it was still too inexperienced compared to the host, so it decided not to talk to the host for the time being.

However, in the next instant, it noticed Ling Chunann suddenly smiling, a very bright smile, but for some reason, it felt uneasy, sensing someone was in trouble. Soon enough, 098's speculation was confirmed. 

At that moment, thunder rumbled again, and Ling Chunann, "flustered," jumped off the bed, not even bothering to put on shoes, and rushed to the bathroom door, knocking on it frantically. "…" If this were its own troublemaking kid, it would have definitely throttled him. However, Feng Buyu was obviously not like 098. Almost within three seconds of Ling Chunann knocking, the bathroom door opened, the man still damp from the shower, wearing only a simple towel around his waist, he reached out and pulled Ling Chunann into his arms, then comforted him kindly, "Darling, don't be afraid, Uncle's here."

Caught off guard by the display of affection, 098 suddenly heard its host remark, "What a nice physique." Feng Buyu did indeed have a good physique, but, "Host, isn't his physique always good?" "It's different," Ling Chunann said, as he rubbed against the man's chest muscles, taking advantage of the situation.

"How's it different?" In 098's view, apart from differences in height, weight, and appearance, it couldn't discern differences in human physique. "It's the scent." "…Were you still hungry just now?" Ling Chunann ignored 098.

Because he was worried that Ling Chunann would be scared again, Feng Buyu quickly wiped himself dry in the bathroom, then accompanied Ling Chunann back to bed. He gently patted his back, "It's late, darling, go to sleep." What surprised 098 was that the mischievous Ling Chunann from earlier actually settled down and closed his eyes to sleep. "Host?" "What is it?" "Aren't you planning to do anything else?" 098 asked, thinking the host was going to make a move on Feng Buyu in one go. "Do I look unsatisfied to you?" Ling Chunann retorted.

While Ling Chunann didn't seem unsatisfied, 098 couldn't help but feel sorry for the man who seemed to be left hanging by the host's actions. Considering the man's character, if the host didn't make any further advances, even if he was bursting with desire, the man probably wouldn't dare to do anything, ensuring that someone would have a sleepless night.

Ling Chunann slept soundly, waking up with his head resting on the man's arm. He blinked, then bit down on it. "Host!" the alarmed 098 exclaimed. Ling Chunann did have a habit of biting people when he was half-awake, but the problem was, he had only just met the man yesterday, and they barely knew each other's basic personalities. What if he got punched? Though it knew this scenario was unlikely, 098 still felt worried.

Of course, what 098 worried about didn't happen. Although the man was somewhat surprised, he didn't push Ling Chunann away, but instead let him bite, and even affectionately patted his back, displaying an unusual level of tolerance.

Just as Ling Chunann finished eating, staring at the man's rapidly healing wound in a daze, the door suddenly knocked. The voice of the old butler sounded, "Young Master, have you seen Young Master anywhere?" "He's with me," Feng Buyu said, "You can go down first, we'll be there in a moment."

"098, I suspect he's not human," Ling Chunann said as he stared at Feng Buyu's wound, turning to 098. "Huh?" Why was the host suddenly swearing? 098 hadn't reacted yet. Ling Chunann kindly explained, "There's a special energy inside his body." "More than Mo Yuzheng?" 098 thought of the superhumans from the previous world. "No," Ling Chunann said, just as 098 was about to inquire further, he added, "More than Monashus Keren Seya."

Realizing who Ling Chunann was referring to, 098 couldn't help but gasp. In the magical world, Monashus Keren Seya was known as the dragon clan closest to the gods. If Feng Buyu was more powerful than Monashus Keren Seya, what kind of race was he?

"It's okay, darling, don't worry, I'm not in pain," the man reassured him, thinking Ling Chunann was concerned about him.

Having eaten earlier in the morning, Ling Chunann didn't eat much at the table, just drank a glass of milk under Feng Buyu's supervision before putting down his utensils. Seeing Feng Buyu finish his meal, the old butler's expression became hesitant. Feng Buyu wiped Ling Chunann's mouth with a handkerchief before turning to the old butler, "What is it?" The old butler withdrew his gaze from Ling Chunann, respectfully answering, "Young Master, the Jinyue Group's shareholders' meeting is today, you promised to attend, it's getting late, should we prepare to leave?" Ling Chunann looked at Feng Buyu eagerly, and Feng Buyu patted his head before saying to the old butler, "Arrange for us to leave."

"Sure." Without asking for reasons, the old butler bowed and left.

Feng Buyu turned to Ling

 Chunann, his expression softening, "Are you interested in the Jinyue Group?" Ling Chunann said, "I play their games." The Jinyue Group was the company that developed the game "Spirit Realm," which had just been in public testing for a month and was already popular everywhere. In two more years, this game would officially become the second world of mankind. Feng Buyu wasn't surprised that Ling Chunann was playing, but he asked, "Is it fun?" "It's fun!" Ling Chunann's eyes lit up, then his expression dimmed, "But my game helmet got burnt." "It's okay, I'll have them send you a new one," the unprincipled uncle said.

Throughout the entire day, 098 found the host acting strangely. No, to be precise, it started last night. The host had never been this fragile before, always needing someone by his side. It wasn't until nearly the end of the day that 098 realized the host had mentioned maintaining his persona. But Ling Chunann's behavior was too perfect, his clingy nature something most people couldn't bear. It was no exaggeration to say that he couldn't be a second away from someone.

But Feng Buyu was evidently not like most people. Not only was he not annoyed, but he seemed delighted. If it weren't for fearing that his darling would think him frivolous, he would have held Ling Chunann in his arms every moment.

Who knew what the man was thinking? Even though the host was so close to him, he only dared to hold his hand and hug him a little, never crossing any lines. As someone who had had their fill of dog food, 098 couldn't help but think so.

"Ling Chunann, you've said it out loud," suddenly remarked.

In the afternoon, the game warehouses Feng Buyu had promised arrived, not just one, but two. The implication was obvious.

After dinner, Ling Chunann was the first to enter the game.

In the game, time passed six times faster than in reality. So, while a month had passed in the real world, six months had passed in the game. Before Ling Chunann's arrival, Luo Yining hadn't played the game for three days. Adding Ling Chunann's two days, a month had already passed in the game.

"Hey kid, did you bring back my herbs?" Just as Ling Chunann entered the game, he heard the voice of an old man. If he didn't know it was a game, Ling Chunann would almost have believed the NPC in front of him was real.

Not yet accustomed to it, he found the quest menu, and sure enough, there was a task to gather herbs. Ling Chunann smiled at the old man, "I'll go pick them right away."

"Kid, be careful of the wolves in the Wolf Valley. You look small, take this weapon for self-defense." With that, he produced a large machete from somewhere, reluctantly saying, "This cherished machete has been with me for forty years. I'll lend it to you for now, but remember to return it to me when you come back."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

098: "Ha! Host, are you really going to do the mission with that knife?"

"Is it impressive?" Ling Chunann skillfully swung the machete in his hand a couple of times.

"It's quite impressive, but isn't it a bit too ostentatious?" 098 cautiously suggested. The machete was two meters long, taller than Ling Chunann, which seemed exaggerated to carry around.

"I think it's just right." Ling Chunann stuck the tip of the machete into the ground. "Don't look down on it. It's a magical weapon."

Taking a closer look, 098 noticed that the machete's attribute indeed listed it as a magical weapon, [Grandpa's Big Machete: Magical Weapon, +1000 Constitution]. A rather straightforward description.

In general, a player's base attribute would max out at 10, with 20 being quite high. Because the male lead was one of the first players and had a limited edition game warehouse, his attributes were doubled, with his constitution reaching a whopping 20 points, making him an instant winner in the game of life.

And this machete actually increased constitution by 1000!

098 was quite shocked. "Host, can't we just keep it and not return it to him?"

"098, I didn't expect you to be like this."

"...I'm sorry, Host. I was confused for a moment."

"It's okay. I understand your intentions. But this machete isn't quite aesthetic. After we finish the mission, we'll use this machete to exchange for a nicer weapon for him. Grandpa seems to have quite a few treasures." 

"The Host indeed has great insight." 098 praised with a clear conscience.

The furthest road it had traveled was the Host's tricks.

Just as Ling Chunann was figuring out how to get to the Wolf Valley, 098 suddenly prompted him to check his message alerts.

Green Grass: Nanzhou, you're finally here! Where have you been these past few days? Didn't you say you were going to make us Pill Refining Pills? Now I've run out of supplies.

Green Grass was the goddess of this little mermaid, Luo Yining. In the game, Luo Yining's name was Nanzhou. Usually, Green Grass would call him by his full name, only becoming a bit more affectionate when she needed something.

Nanzhou was a special player in the game, also known as a unique pharmacist. The Pill Refining Pill was his unique recipe, a healing pill that only pharmacists could successfully refine. Moreover, it could also increase experience. Although not much, it was enough to shake the entire game. The male and female leads had earned quite a bit of money thanks to his pills. Previously, Luo Yining had made Pill Refining Pills for Green Grass for free, and it seemed like he was a bit dim-witted, getting scammed and still helping people count money.

Ling Chunann was naturally not Luo Yining, so he straightforwardly refused Green Grass's request for free pills.

Nanzhou: I'm sorry, something happened at home these past few days, so I just logged into the game. The Pill Refining Pills require special materials, and I've already used up the herbs and gold coins when I made the last batch. I can't make pills temporarily, and more importantly, I have a friend who just started playing the game, and I have to accompany him. I'm sorry.

Green Grass: Are you asking for money? Just tell me, how much do you need?

098 was furious. "Is this person sick? Does she really think you're her free labor?"

"This little mermaid princess is quite interesting," Ling Chunann said indifferently, then ignored her.

After a while, another message came from another harem sister of the male lead, this one being his senior sister. Normally, Green Grass and the male lead got along fairly well, and because Luo Yining usually supplied them with medicine, her impression of him was quite good.

Of course, it only remained as a good impression.

Purple Rose: Hello Nanzhou, just heard from Yiying about the situation. I understand your difficulties. If you need any herbs, just let me know, I can definitely help. How about this, in the future, when you refine pills, I'll buy them from you at market price, and I'll make up for the ones I owe you before. I don't have that much in-game currency, so why don't you leave me your account, and I'll transfer some credit points to you.

Nanzhou: No need, thank you. I really don't have time to refine pills recently.

"Host, I think this senior sister's tone is quite good," 098 remarked, "Much better than Green Grass's."

"One is red-faced, the other white-faced. Do you believe if I give her the account, she'll make me the king of 818 tomorrow?" Ling Chun

ann replied, "I just want to quietly play the game for a while."

But Ling Chunann's peace didn't last for two hours. Just as he arrived outside the Wolf Valley, he was stopped by a group of people.

Leading the group was none other than the girl the mermaid secretly admired.
