Chapter 2 - Arc 1: Experiment gone wrong

[From now on you shall be hopping worlds, each world there will be tasks for you to do. Each task will have a prize when completed but also a penalty if failed if you're already doing that said task.]

Yin Hai nodded in understanding. The two were now talking in a living room-like space, but the outside was still fully white. Yin Hai was getting dizzy with all the floating and kept thinking he's going to fall. He requested a room from the system so he can focus on what the system is talking about.

"So if I don't start the task when it's given, it's just going to go away?" Yin Hai asked, relaxing onto the couch. The butterfly system was resting on the coffee table near the couch.

[Correct]

"Well, then when do I start?" Yin Hai was feeling a lot better from being on flat ground. Standing up he held the butterfly in his hands, and a screen appeared in front of Yin Hai. It was a clear blue color, he was able to see right through it. It was in a simple design as it was just a light blue square with a bit of line around the corners.

[The world you will be going to is located in Xiang Zhen, the future technology there will be much more advanced than in your past world. Please pick a skill that you think will help in your journey.}

Yin Hai looked at the list provided by the system.

[Skill List:

1. Acting

2. Business

3. Gun (No.3 in weaponry)

(More skills will be unlocked in the future)]

"I'll choose later if that's fine." Yin Hai said he didn't know the details of the situation yet so he wanted to save the skill for later use.

[Of course host, I'll start the world now.]

Yin Hai's mind started to blur as the count percentage went up. A grunt left his lips as a migraine started to form. The system's flat voice sounded in his head.

[... 90% complete]

[... 100% complete, soul transfer successful. Have a safe journey host.]

Yin Hai's eyes opened when the migraines were gone, he was surprised to see a completely different environment around him.

Yin Hai looked at the environment around him. It was a lot more advanced than what he was used to in the past. There were floating screens in the air like the one he saw a few minutes ago. There were tapping sounds from how fast they were pressing each button.

It only now did he notice the state he was in. His body was wrapped in a cylinder container with a mask compressing fresh air into him. The cylinder was filled with water and he was floating in.

"System, what's going on?" Yin Hai whispers, scared of the people there. But before the system could answer a loud yell came from below.

"HE'S AWAKE!!!!" She screamed backing away from the tank. The other people surrounded the tank as he moved around in the limited space looking at everything.

[You are currently in the body of the second male lead or cannon fodder as he was locked up for the safety of the female lead

Story plot: The male lead, Wei Xiao, wanted to be a scientist since little. In the future, Wei Xiao was respected in the science world once he graduated college. His achievements were surpassing even the most famous scientist.

Unfortunately his heart was darkened, he wanted more knowledge, more things to learn. This caused him to use various humans test subjects trying to implement animal characteristics onto them. Wanting to create faster and stronger human beings. But none of the subjects stayed alive long enough for him to test out the abilities.

Wei Xiao was dating Zhu Mengmeng ever since they were in college but he didn't love her. He thinks she is annoying. He was more focused on succeeding in his experiment to care about anything else. He had no use for her other than to use her to get subjects which included Li Yuan.

She chased Wei Xiao for years until he finally agreed to date her.

Character story: Li Yuan was in love with Zhu Mengmeng. Giving her flowers every day, sending her money, he tried everything he could think of to gain her affection. As he looked at the sports car containing her and Wei Xiao.

But after all those years, he was still in love with her. She later told him that she and the Protagonist were just friends and he believed it. Zhu Mengmeng was dating Wei Xiao then. When the door to the house opened Li Yuan was knocked out by a drug contained in a needle. The drug knocked him out instantly.

His body was used in experiments by Wei Xiao's team. He was the first to survive the experiment and surgery. But when Zhu Mengmeng came into the lab to give Wei Xiao a lunch box. Li Yuan went completely crazy trying to attack her, she was the cause of him falling this far. He was locked up in a cell and was tortured for trying to harm Zhu Mengmeng (I will now refer Yin Hai as Li Yuan).]

[Main Mission: Steal the protagonist away from the female lead]

[You have been given the item(s): mask of deception.

Can keep the wearer's face expressionless. Recommend use on emotionless characters.

Item automatically equipped]

"Experiment no.398, how are you feeling?" A male asked, holding a clipboard.

[This is Wei Xiao's assistant, Xue Rong]

The water drained from the tank as Li Yuan looked around the place. He was definitely in a lab of some kind. His feet touched the cold ground as the water drained from the bottom. The mask and wires detached from his body shrinking back to their compartments above.

Suddenly a white line appeared on the glass as it unsealed the door of the glass container. Li Yuan didn't even notice there was a door in front of him. The glass popped out sliding to the side, Li Yuan was astonished by the technology, he's never seen anything like that before.

"Come out." Xue Rong asked backing away to give Li Yuan space. Everyone in the room was looking at him. He walked down the steps, water dripping down his naked body but nobody cared about that. Li Yuan watched his steps trying not to fall; he lifted his head to look at Xue Rong.

A look of excitement appeared on Xue Rong's face as Li Yuan looked at him in the eyes. Li Yuan had two black wolf ears sitting on top of his head and a large black tail draped behind his back. It was truly delicate work to attach each nerve to the ear, brain, and spine.

One of the wolf's ears twitched; it's like his hearing was enhanced with the extra pair of ears. Xue Rong let out a breath of relief. The boss will be happy with this one.

The door suddenly opened as a woman entered. [Host that is the female lead, please be careful]

Zhu Mengmeng looked around for Wei Xiao when her eyes landed on the wolf boy. Her eyes widened as she dropped the lunch box from shock. A yell came from behind her making her looked back

"What are you doing here?!"
