“Hello, my name is Zhao Yan,” Zhao Yan took the initiative to stretch out a hand while sizing up the young man with fair skin, gold-rimmed glasses, looking gentle and refined in front of him.
“Luo Jiajun,” the youth smiled and shook Zhao Yan’s hand, “Does brother Zhao mind if I smoke?”
“Go ahead,” Zhao Yan smiled slightly.
Luo Jiajun took out a cigarette and lit it, gently saying in a scholarly manner, “To have miss Susu privately help contact other members for you, you must have caught her eyes. That’s also why I came. After all, I just closed a big deal and am taking a break, feeling a bit tired.”
“Thanks to brother Luo giving me face, but after switching with me, you can still take your break because recently I don’t have any major life problems that need solving,” Zhao Yan laughed.
Luo Jiajun flicked some cigarette ash, “Then let’s not waste time and directly draft the agreement.”
“Sure.” Zhao Yan also didn’t want to waste time.
The two had their assistants draft the agreements separately.
Shortly after, Luo Jiajun was dumbfounded at the agreement in front of Zhao Yan that was a few centimeters thick, clutching the thin piece of paper in his hand, somewhat at a loss.
Zhao Yan smiled modestly, “I’m more cautious.”
His agreement stipulated a series of restrictive conditions during the exchange period, such as Luo Jiajun cannot go to Binhai City, cannot contact Chen Yurou, and so on.
“You’re really awesome,” the corner of Luo Jiajun’s mouth twitched. He had never seen such a thick agreement before.
So he was too lazy to even read it, signed it directly, afraid that by the time he finished reading it, the sky would be bright.
Zhao Yan went to earn life points, so he read Luo Jiajun’s agreement carefully.
There were only a few restrictions on it - cannot sell out brothers, cannot take the initiative to expose identity, cannot trust superiors too much, cannot harm ordinary people...
When he saw these few, Zhao Yan felt something was wrong. Glancing down at the life problems Luo Jiajun wanted to solve, his face became wonderfully interesting all of a sudden.
1. Assist the police in eliminating the Zhou Shen criminal gang.
2. Lead the brothers to live a stable life.
Zhao Yan subconsciously swallowed, slowly raised his head to look at Luo Jiajun’s basic information.
Name: Luo Jiajun
Age: 28
Identity: Police undercover
Luo Jiajun pushed up his glasses and smiled at him.
Zhao Yan: “......”
He never dreamed that such a gentle-looking person turned out to be an undercover cop.
What is an undercover cop?
It is an internal staff member planted into a criminal gang by the police in order to obtain evidence to effectively eliminate the criminal gang.
The undercover cop has to integrate into the criminal gang yet cannot be completely corrupted, and most importantly cannot have his identity exposed.
Being corrupted will lead to severe legal punishments.
While having one’s identity exposed will result in being killed by the criminals.
In order to obtain useful intelligence, one can only try every means to gain trust, yet in the end has to personally arrest these criminals who have established feelings after interacting for some time.
After all, man is not made of grass or wood, who can be heartless?
Even raising a dog for some time builds feelings.
So whether physically or mentally, being an undercover cop means enduring tremendous torment.
Especially after the end of one’s undercover career, there is a possibility of being retaliated against by criminals who slipped through the net.
Or perhaps having trouble re-integrating into the police force due to being used to undercover life, even looked at peculiarly by some colleagues.
In short, undercover cops are heroic.
But undoubtedly also very tragic.
Meeting those selfish, impatient superior officers who regard an undercover’s life as a stepping stone to promotion makes it even more tragic.
Zhao Yan was a little afraid that he couldn’t handle this identity. Also, he had never even heard of Lincheng City before.
Could those two life problems that were expected of him be accomplished by ordinary people?
He was worried about exposing his true self as soon as he goes over.
Moreover, he didn’t quite understand the relationship between those two life problems. Eliminating criminal gangs he could comprehend, but what does “lead the brothers to live a stable life” mean?
“Cough, it’s already the 21st century. Brother Luo can still be thriving in this profession until today...I mean, isn’t it impressive? I’m afraid I can’t handle it,” Zhao Yan began to chicken out.
Luo Jiajun was puzzled, “Brother Zhao Yan, it’s only the late 20th century where I’m from. Don’t you know many club members come from parallel worlds?”
“It’s not the same world?” Zhao Yan’s voice rose by several decibels, eyes wide open in shock.
Luo Jiajun remained very calm, “Of course. If all the club members came from one world, wouldn’t that world become chaotic?”
Zhao Yan was astonished. After careful consideration, this statement made quite some sense. After all, there was no such place called Lincheng City in his world.
This club was too awesome!
Simply the transit station for transcenders of all worlds!
Just which esteemed expert created it?
“Brother Luo, last question. For your second life problem, what does ‘lead the brothers to live a stable life’ mean?” Zhao Yan asked about his doubt.
Luo Jiajun’s eyes revealed some complex sadness, but did not answer directly, “You’ll know once you go over.”
Zhao Yan: “......”
What’s the point of asking you in advance then?
“Still up for the exchange?” Luo Jiajun asked.
Zhao Yan’s face clouded over with indecision. After some hesitation, he gritted his teeth and agreed, “Exchange! Why not?”
Since it wasn’t the same world as his.
The effects of his strengthening drugs could also carry over.
Then what was there to panic about!
At critical moments, he could at least run fast.
Moreover, these two life problems looked very difficult, so the life points that could be obtained would definitely be a lot too.
Accomplishers of great things cannot be hesitant!
“Brother Luo, let me ask one more thing. You also seem to be a veteran member here. Couldn’t you have just casually bought something from the store to solve those life problems you wanted to tackle?” Zhao Yan curiously asked another question.
Luo Jiajun exhaled a smoke ring, “To tell the truth, most of my points are saved up. I want to see what the Silver and Gold member tiers are like.”
Zhao Yan was astonished. He really didn’t expect this guy to be quite ambitious with his life pursuits and have lofty goals.
Subsequently, the two formally signed the exchange agreement.
The exchange period was set for one month.
...
In a certain parallel world and time, Lincheng City.
Zhao Yan opened his eyes to find himself in a budget hotel room.
He then began organizing Luo Jiajun’s memories. His expression instantly turned unpleasant.
He finally understood why Luo Jiajun had such complex emotions in his eyes when he talked about his second life problem.
It was because this undercover cop was nearing the brink of losing control!
The contradictions between him and his superior officer were already very deep.
As for those “brothers” referred to in his second life problem, they were the few men currently under him. These people truly went through life and death together with him before. Some were even unwillingly pulled onto this road of no return by him, so he wanted to take responsibility for them.
To both eliminate the criminal gang yet allow his subordinates to live peaceful lives, how was that possible? Certainly he couldn’t directly bring them to surrender right. After all, sitting in jail could also be considered leading peaceful lives, or more accurately, there was no life more stable than that.
But of course Zhao Yan didn’t dare do that. At first glance, Luo Jiajun was like an influential veteran member among the ordinary members. Furthermore, from the memories received, Zhao Yan discovered that although this guy looked gentle on the surface, he was actually ruthless on the inside.
During his undercover career, the number of criminals who died at his hands in conflicts already numbered three. He was even more ruthless than the villains.
Offending such a person was definitely not a good thing.
Chen Han: So it means I'm easy to bully?
Zhao Yan continued receiving other memories, and gradually gained some basic understanding about this world too. Apart from differences in country and place names as well as some human histories, the overall social environment was very similar to his world’s late 20th century.
The global economy had just started taking off. It was an age of emerging talents and heroes, with rampant disorder in society...
As for Lincheng, it was a little like Hong Kong Island in his world, or more accurately, like Hong Kong in the 80s and 90s.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
