Chapter 1：Mao Miaomiao (2/2)
[Aren't you afraid of being killed by protagonists or antagonists?]
”Screw you! I was once a UFC champion! I can ground-and-pound those Kang-Fools that can only do flashy moves to oblivion!”
The questionnaire was entertaining and interesting. Miaomiao had fun answering each question with trolling answers.
But after a while, the open questions turned into a multiple-choice question.
[If you were to be transmigrated as a side-character in a cultivation world, which skill, item, or cheats would you prefer to have with you?]
A hundred choices and a time limit appeared. Mao Miaomiao only had a minute to answer this question.
He got frustrated that he couldn't read through all the selectable answers since the time limit was too short, ”Damn, you freaking stupid questionnaire providers! You're supposed to give me unlimited time to decide!”
Although Mao Miaomiao complained, his eyes skimmed through the answers with determination as if he was answering the TOEIC official test.
'A smartphone with cheat apps? Too materialism. What if someone steals it from me? Not interested.'
'Level max with a million status points? Boring. What if I sleep-walking and destroy the goddamn world by an accident? What if I run into someone stronger than me? I can't raise my level anymore, right?'
'Necromancy? I don't want to play with corpses and skeletons. Too depressing!'
'Taming Arts? Too subordinate reliance! If I can't find or tame a strong beast, won't I be shitty forever?'
'Save and Load feature? Not gonna lie, it's tempting. But my gaming experience taught me the hard way. I often overwrote my save files and screwed up royally in the late game, which was irreversible. Then, I had to start a new game or load a save file with 200 hours less playtime. I don't want to mess up like that again since there is only one slot file for the save. Regrettably, I can't pick this.'

”Ugh!”
The pressure was real. Miaomiao got panicked, and his decision making got influenced.
Still, he was an experienced fighter who had faced many worse crises. He paced his breath and concentrated.
'I had read a bunch of wuxia novels during my free time. If I could answer it freely, I would have answered ”I don't need any special skill. I just won't mess with the MC or villains.” instead of picking skills to survive.'
Since they gave Miaomiao multiple choices, he read the answer choices carefully.
[Demonic Yin Yang System – This cultivation assistance system can help you increase your cultivation strength by copulating with opposite sex cultivators. Furthermore, it contains a built-in shop system that you can buy various goodies with your essence.]
That was a brief description of one of the choices that caught Miaomiao's attention.
Among all items and perks, the dual-cultivation choice was the most attractive since nobody hated sex. Even though it sounded evil, Miaomiao couldn't help imagine himself doing it with many women and got stronger in the process.

'Ah, screw this. There's a time limit and I can only pick one. If I were to live my next life in a cultivation world, I should go with something that I can enjoy. This stupid thing, [Demonic Yin Yang System], will do.'
Miaomiao picked the choice and moved on to the next questions. However, he didn't remember everything after he had pressed the [Next] button.
…
”Uncle Cat Meow Meow, are you done!?”
The 12-year-old boy slammed the door open to look for his uncle, but he found no one. He tilted his head in confusion.
”Who is uncle cat meow meow?”
He forgot about Mao Miaomiao's existence. He didn't even know why he came to this room in the first place.
The boy didn't notice the webpage that the monitor was showing. He closed the door and ran to his dad.
”Dad, since when do we have an empty room on the third floor?”

The monitor and the PC turned off by itself. The history, registry files, and all records about Mao Miaomiao were erased automatically. Even the framed picture on his table faded away.
No one remembered about him, including his brother. It was as if he never existed in this world.
