Arc 1 – Slag that Rich Old Man
Chapter 29 (part 3)

This is an interstellar world. The role Chi Zhao will act as is called Shao Ze’an, the second young master of the famous Shao Family.

This second young master is quite well-behaved and far less dark-hearted than Qi Yuan in the first world, but what he did was much worse.

Shao Ze’an was a rich second generation and also a second-generation government official. Having just come of age and not yet graduated from college, he enjoys having fun and doesn’t like attending class. When he should be in class, he wouldn’t obediently stay and would always go out to play. Together with a few other rich second generation degenerates who also gathered a group of their friends, the dozen or so people hired a starship and directly went from the main empire to the vicinity of the Death Galaxy.

The Death Galaxy isn’t a river. It is in fact an extremely vast planetary belt consisting of countless wormholes, blackholes and unknown planets. Ordinary people would die when they go there so it was given the name Death Galaxy. These people came over to play but they were unexpectedly caught by Empire rebels the moment they arrived. It just happened that an admiral of the Empire was fighting against the rebels there and the moment they were taken as hostages, the admiral was put into a difficult position.

The rebels used the hostages to order the admiral to come alone before they would release them. In order to save them, the admiral made the decision to enter the rebel’s starship alone. The rebels however had no intentions in the first place to release the hostages while the admiral also had no intentions to let the rebels go. Very soon, a large battle started. The admiral killed nearly a hundred rebels by himself and he then escorted the hostages back to safety.

But at this moment, the admiral noticed that something wasn’t right. Those rebels had called for reinforcements and he had no choice but to stay and continue fighting the fierce battle. At the very end, he was able to escape carrying serious injuries.

As for Shao Ze’an this hapless guy, he was so unlucky, he was accidentally injured during the fight between the two parties. None of those hostages remembered that there was a friend of theirs who hadn’t escaped, and all fled without looking back. In the end, he was discovered by the rebels and brought back to their base.

There was someone in the rebel army who had once lived in the main star of the Empire before. He immediately recognised him as the second young master of the Shao Family so they didn’t kill him but killing him was probably a better outcome. Instead, they had two devices implanted into Shao Ze’an’s body; one in his arm and one in his ear. The one in the arm could detect whether he was lying, and it also carried electricity. If he was disobedient, no matter how many light years away they are, just a press of a button can electrocute him into convulsions. The one in his ear was like a eavesdropping device. Anything Shao Ze’an heard; they could also hear. They could use this device to order Shao Ze’an around and can even control him in an instant so that he can’t play any little tricks.

Each of these two devices contained 0.01mg of poison. Despite such a small amount, it can cause instant death the moment it is injected. With this, he couldn’t ask for help even if he wanted to. As long as the rebels in the Death Galaxy feels that something wasn’t right, they could immediately kill him.

Shao Ze’an was left with two options; to die now or to betray the country. He chose the second one. Because of his identity, he was able to easily access the Empire’s secrets. And when the Shao Family later discovered that Shao Ze’an was almost unable to return alive because the admiral wasn’t able to save him in time, they were very angry. Just as they were about to complain about it to the Emperor, Shao Ze’an received an order to marry the admiral using any means possible.

And so, Shao Ze’an used the pressure from his family’s background to forcefully marry the admiral and take up the identity of the admiral’s wife. With this he once again obtained a lot of information. The Emperor’s army was defeated steadily and consequently, the common people could no longer live in peace and many people lost their lives. When the admiral led his army to fight against these rebels, because of Shao Ze’an’s insider information, the army was almost completely wiped out. When he finally discovered that Shao Ze’an was the undercover spy, Shao Ze’an fled in fear but was soon injected with the poison when the rebels realised that he was discovered.

The unmanned spaceship crashed into a meteorite leaving no bones or flesh behind. The admiral vented out his anger on those rebels. After another six years, he was finally able to take them down. In the process of taking them, a young officer who had been staying by his side as his military adviser helped ease the wounds in his heart. With the end of the war, the admiral retired and together they naturally progressed into marriage.

The admiral led a happy life while Shao Ze’an’s name was also successfully associated with the word traitor for thousands of years.

Chi Zhao: “……….”

Although the original owner was very miserable, it was still hard for him to feel any sympathy for him.

He asked the system, “What part of the plot is it now?”

【You will know if you look up.】

When Chi Zhao came to this world, he had retched a few times and later laid on the ground to read through the world’s information. Now that he raised his head to look up, he realised that he was surrounded by dead bodies. All had died very miserably and the starship was swaying around dangerously. It probably wouldn’t be able to last very long.

Chi Zhao’s eyes moved around very quickly. After a second, he moved his gaze back again.

Compared to the other dead bodies, this dead body before him was too handsome and the clothes he wore was different from the others. There was a hole in the clothes by his waist and fresh blood was still flowing out at this very moment. Chi Zhao looked at the man suspiciously, “This man…….”

【Yes, he is the admiral. Louis West.】

Chi Zhao: “……..”

Please read this from kk translates

“Didn’t you say that he escaped with serious injuries?? How could he die here?!”

【He’s not dead! He’s still alive. There was just a small accident and he got poisoned so he is currently in a state of shock. But the third wave of reinforcements are about to arrive. If this goes on, he might be a goner.】

Chi Zhao was horrified, “Then how can you be so calm?! The protagonist is about to die. If he dies, who am I supposed to slag??”

【Aren’t you still here? He has a pure mecha on him. Only those with S-level spiritual powers can activate it but he is currently in shock and can’t do that so he can’t escape. You can just activate the mech for him and kick him out.】

“……….”

He’s an admiral. Would it really be okay acting so simply and crudely?

But there was no time to think about those things. Chi Zhao hurried over and followed the systems instructions. He undid Louis’s top, found a ring-like thing in his shirt and wished really hard for it to be activated.

The black ring immediately lit up. After Chi Zhao stuffed the mecha back into Louis’s arms, the system suddenly cried out.

【Host, a sneak attack!】

As a conditioned reflex, Chi Zhao turned around. A rebel who had not died yet was holding a particle cannon and pointing it in his direction. Chi Zhao instantly flew over and kicked the muzzle aside, causing it to blast a hole through the ship wall instead. The moment the hole appeared; Chi Zhao had trouble breathing. He picked up a weapon and smashed it onto that rebel’s head, knocking him unconscious before turning back around, picking Louis up with much difficulty and dragging him over to the hole. Let alone kicking him out, he didn’t even have the strength to push him. He felt like he was about to suffocate any moment.

Everyone here was wearing protective clothing. Chi Zhao temporarily placed Louis down, took off a mask from a body next to him, put it on and took a few deep breaths before supporting Louis up again.

“Stop there!”

The third wave of reinforcements had arrived. Anxious, Chi Zhao pushed the admiral out the hole like he was pushing a sack of potatoes. When he was done, he stood up and spread open both his arms to block the hole from the rebels whilst staring them down.

Chi Zhao was resolute. In fact, he was thinking inside that because he had already failed one world, no matter what he will not let the plot collapse in this world. If anyone dares to chase after his target, they will need to get through him first!

System: “……….” The host has become obsessed. This should be a good thing.

The eyes of one human and one system stared fixatedly at the rebel reinforcements. No one noticed Louis open his eyes slightly. He tried to see Chi Zhao’s back view, but his physical state was too weak and the moment he left the ship, his mecha had turned into its large form, quickly wrapping around him and taking him back to the base.
