Stuck in a Chinese novel

Before I begin the second volume, there are a few things I would like to clear up.

Thanks a million for sticking up with me until now and I hope you continue to do so. My novel couldn't have come this far without you and it won't go far without you as well. Romance is not my forte and many of you have not liked that. What I wrote about romance was disliked by many and I personally think so as well.

However, I have decided on a twist so there might be a little drama in there with Xia Lu. And finally, there has been the issue of Harem and no Harem. Personally, I don't think I can choose. Half the readers so far commented on Harem and half of them commented on No Harem. So, I have come to a decision. It will be a slight harem, just three girls.

Who? One's Xia Lu, the others may or may not come when we progress with the novel. However, I assure you I won't make another mistake like I did the first time.

And lastly, I'm an amateur writer. New in this industry. I have made many mistakes while writing and I hope you can look past them and give me the chance to improve. However, as a reader, if you want to stop reading, I totally understand too.

Today's chapter will be almost 2000 words because I have to compensate for the word count for all of this.

Once again, thank you very much for sticking with me this far and I hope you guys give me a chance to make this work.

That's it. Enjoy!

"You're up, young master," The beautiful maid giddily came to Wei Jun and began to check his condition. She touched his forehead, and his wrist and then pulled out a thermometer and shoved it in Wei Jun's mouth.

What did Wei Jun do all that time?

Nothing. He was just too confused to know who this woman was because he had never seen her before. However, with how naturally she was acting and the tempo she had, even Wei Jun was swept in even though most of that was because he was just confused.

"You're very healthy, young master," The woman said with the most sweetest of smiles.

'I know,' Wei Jun thought inwardly because the system HP was full so he was in a prim and proper condition. However, none of that explained the situation he was in.

He looked around and found everything almost the same. The bed sheets that were there last night had changed. The weather was a little chilly and that wasn't attributed to the air conditioner.

"Wasn't winter a month away?" Wei Jun instinctively asked out loud.

"what are you saying, young master?" The maid looked at him with a confused gaze and asked.

"Nothing," Wei Jun replied. "Oh, well, in that case, I think you should hurry up and get ready if you're feeling all right." The maid informed Wei Jun.

"For what?" Wei Jun asked. "For the first launch of your movie." The maid replied.

"What? that's three weeks away." Wei Jun said.

"Eh? Are you sure you're all right, master?" The maid asked worriedly.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Wei Jun asked.

"The premiere was only postponed for one week due to the unfortunate deaths of some staff members. But the premiere is today. And if you don't hurry, you will be late to your own movie," The maid informed him.

Wei Jun didn't ask for anything else and hurriedly took out his phone. His hunch was right. The date was fast-forwarded. He had killed Run Long on the 3rd of October. It should have been the 4th of October but it wasn't. It was the 4th of November.

"What the…"

[The levels required to read the first volume of the current scenario are 10]

[Would you like to use levels 21 to 30 for the reading of the first volume of the existing novel]

[Yes\\No]

'The fu*k is this sh*t." Wei Jun said, very much annoyed, while he soaked himself in a warm bath. He already had a headache as to how one month had passed but not only that, there were some things that were completely different now.

The biggest of those was an unknown woman whom he had never seen before but she was his maid and apparently for a long time.

'Oi, explain.' Wei Jun 'asked' the system.

[It is as it is host]

'Fu*k! Do you think I don't know that?' Wei Jun said annoyingly before he asked, 'What the hell is all this?'

[Time rift]

[The world has changed]

[The entire scenario has changed]

[The previous world would exist] Dive deeper into the story on m-vle-mpyr

[Your actions would exist]

[However, the beginning of the novel has begun from this point]

[For you anyway]

'So the protagonist of this new world hasn't begun his journey yet?' Wei Jun asked.

[No he has]

[He just hasn't gotten to the point where he would amass influence]

[And you should be feeling lucky this time]

'Why?' Wei Jun asked.

[Because this one doesn't dual cultivate]

[His destiny is dependent on his influence]

[the weaker his influence, the stronger you become]

'So I don't have to meddle in his affairs?' Wei Jun asked.

[It would be better if you did as they all fall under the category of destiny]

[But it wouldn't be necessary just like the connection of Run Long and all those who didn't increase his power didn't matter much]

[But weakening that connection still had its merits]

[This one does too]

[But you will have an easier time leveling up if you were to just decrease his influence]

[Isn't that an amazing thing?]

'Oi.' Wei Jun called.

[Yes host]

'Are you trying to calm me down?' Wei Jun asked.

[…]

[Pardon]

'What is it?' Wei Jun asked.

[What is what?]

'What is it that you're hiding?' Wei Jun asked.

[…]

[Host]

'What?' Wei Jun asked.

[You will find out]

'You fu*k.' The system wasn't telling him which meant whatever it was, Wei Jun wasn't going to like it. not one bit. But still, what could Wei Jun. He just sighed and stood up.

He came out of the bathroom, dried himself, and then dressed himself through the inventory. It turned out he didn't need to have clothes made. There were suits in the shop as well. And some came with some sort of enhancements so it would also be better for him.

[Gilliard's armor]

[Defense stat +10]

[Charm +2]

[Self-clean and self-mending available]

[Cost: 10000 gold]

Although the one he currently bought was expensive, there were many cheap ones as well. But he bought this one because of the three functions it provided. It increased his defense by ten regardless of the limit. It also had a self-cleaning system so it would be dirty and according to the description, no matter how torn it became, as long as provided it with Qi, it would fix itself.

Wei Jun looked at him in the mirror and once everything was set. He left his room. He found food on the dining table as he entered it. it was enough to feed ten people. Wei Jun smiled seeing the food. Although for him, only one night had passed, he was still so much hungry like he hadn't eaten for days.

He began to chow down the food when the maid came into the room to see Wei Jun eating.

"Ah... Master. Are you ready? Would you like me to do anything?" She asked.

"No. nothing." Wei Jun said while he took a brief break while eating.

"Oh. You wouldn't like me to relieve you today?" The maid asked.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Wei Jun lost it and coughed uncontrollably. He hurriedly regulated his Qi and unblocked the food in his throat.

"Are you all right, master?" The maid worriedly came to him and began to pat his back. She also offered him a glass of water which he took even though he was all right now. He gulped down the water in a second and breathed heavily.

"What…?" Wei Jun asked in a low voice. "Pardon? Master, I couldn't quite hear you." The maid said.

"What do you mean by relief?" Wei Jun asked.

"Oh, you mean a massage. Of course, I can give you," The maid replied and began to massage Wei Jun's shoulders. Wei Jun felt relieved both from the massage and the clarification of the situation.

He sighed but that wasn't long before the maid began to head down to his chest. From his chest to his abdomen but she kept on going before Wei Jun caught her hands and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Eh? Don't you always have me relive you down there too?" She asked confused.

'What the hell is this crazy chick on about?' Wei Jun asked inwardly before he hurriedly let her go and said, "You don't have to do that anymore."

If earlier was a misunderstanding, this one was clear as the sky. Wei Jun couldn't believe he had done something like that even though he hadn't done anything like that.

"Eh?" The maid let out a cute confused sound before she asked, "But don't you always complain about your thighs straining after a workout? You didn't have me relive them last night so I thought you would want it now."

'You're laughing, aren't you?' Once again, Wei Jun misunderstood but how was he not supposed given where her hands were going?

The system snickered slightly and even Wei Jun could hear it.

[It's funny, host]

[You're flustered]

'Fu*k off!' Wei Jun exclaimed inwardly before he turned to the maid and said, "You don't have to do that anymore either. My thighs aren't strained today."

"As you wish, master." She replied and stepped back. Wei Jun got back to eating and once he was finished, he looked at the time. It was seven in the evening and according to the maid, the event was supposed to start at eight and he was supposed to be there by seven-thirty.

His entrance would also be arranged there so he left the penthouse, entered the lift, and came straight down to the garage.

His sedan was parked like he had left it the night before, or a month ago. He got in and made his way straight to the venue.

As he arrived, everyone greeted him with a smile. Well, everyone except for three individuals. And there were too more who were awkwardly looking at him. Like if they were associated with him, they would gain the title of bad kids.

Xiao Heiling and Zhan Yi looked at Wei Jun with awkward smiles but maintained a distance. Whereas Quan Li and Quan Kui were looking at Wei Jun like they were disappointed about something Wei Jun had done.

And as for the last person, she was looking at him coldly but didn't say a word. She ignored him publicly, in front of all the cameras, and went inside the theatre.

'What now…?' That was all Wei Jun could ask because nothing made any sense to him.
