As the people on the other side were on the verge of breaking down, the MC on the other hand was gloating in ecstacy.
His face has a huge grin while his eyes squinting as delight crawled down to his body.
His current behavior severely contrasted his delicate features that one would even have to take a long while before finally realizing he is a man.
"Hahahaha! Well well well… Let us see what is the reward I have gotten!!"
[Rewards calculated! Press F to see the description.]
"Heh… Let us see… Since it was a random thing from this world, Solaris, I wonder what did I get… Is it perhaps a very powerful weapon? Heh… of course it should be, since I, Taigong Wang, am the most handsome existence in Solaris-3."
Still gloating in delight, even constantly praising himself, to the point that his narcissism is on top of the hierarchy.
With that, he pressed the F button that has appeared on the blue transparent screen.
Not even minding why is it an F, instead of a Y or N.
His anticipation reached its peak when the screen interface changed and slowly showed the rewards he got.
After a brief moment of pause… His face faltered.
His face was full of disbelief.
Such a reward…
What the heck!?
"System!! I demand an explanation!"
Taigong Wang was fuming with anger, he could understand if it was one or two, but all three of his rewards that he had painstakingly tried to get?
[Host, it is very much random. I do not have any way of manipulating the rewards. If you want to take it on me, you'd rather not waste your time since I do not have full control over the access for it.]
Taigong Wang twitched his lips.
He didn't believe a single thing about the system's explanation.
Still, he gritted his teeth and asked a question.
"Then, what was the acquisition rate for the reward?"
[The acquisition rate for the reward on the Random Gift Box was 50% on skills, 25% on Weapons, 10% on consumables, 9.99% on money and 0.01% on daily necessities.]
Taigong Wang's face paled instantly.
He couldn't quite grasp what was happening.
Is he supposed to be lucky or unlucky?
After all, what he got was the daily necessities!!
Not to mention…
Taigong Wang's face turned even more ashen as he looked at the rewards he had gotten from the system, to which has already been transferred to his inventory.
"Calm down Taigong Wang… Take a deep breath, and exhale slowly. Let the currents of the wind take you to your destination. Free of all things."
He muttered like a mantra to keep himself away from insanity, and regain his composure.
"Huuu… Well then."
Taigong Wang is back to his usual demeanor.
The one you can always see in FGO, a face full of mischief and arrogance, smiling down from the heavens, not even batting an eye to the world, only closing his eyes in serenity.
For a brief moment, it seems like nothing can the harmonious atmosphere that had transpired along the place…
Crack!
As to say, one man has his own limits, push it open, you'll bear the consequences.
As for Taigong Wang… he is a man of patience, not once did his patience snap, even at the face of gods and demons…
But not the same can be said to the current Taigong Wang.
Yes, he is indeed Taigong Wang… but not the Taigong Wang from the world of FGO.
So his temper was quite short.
So he forced himself to calm down once more.
This made his thoughts wander back to the past…
Originally, he was supposed to get thrown into the world of Fate Grand Order, as per the entity he saw said before reincarnation, but fate has its own agenda.
Instead of getting thrown to that place, he got reincarnated in Wuthering Waves' planet, Solaris-3.
Fortunately, he has some of the Original Taigong Wang's abilities as an Immortal Taoist, because, not only does he resembles Taigong Wang, but Taigong Wang's very Origin has been blended with him, making him the *Original* Taigong Wang but at the same time, not.
Still, there was a limit to his power, he cannot use his full power, it has been locked upon entry, and he doesn't even know how to pry it open.
Though, if there was anything he is quite grateful for, he gained his own Resonance Forte.
Accompanying that, he had become the errand boy of the Secretary-General of the Central Park of Huanglong, Changli.
He always gets tormented by her constant teasing, making him wonder if that old woman is a predator.
Just as when he thought he had become lucky enough to escape Changli's hand, he gained the Emperor's interests and decided to let the others train him, making him crawl back to Changli's grasps.
It only took him one month to finish his training and became the Grand Chancellor of Huanglong at the age of twelve upon training.
Coincidentally, it was his birthday.
His old man, who is a noble in Chongzhou, who had thrown him into this pit upon learning that Changli took interest on the poor boy, visited him.
But not even to say sorry or congratulate, but to show Taigong Wang that he had gained a new brother, named Jiang Chen.
He was momentarily speechless, but still, he tried to become a good older brother, so he tried patting the little boy's head but…
"How dare you try touch this Young Master with your filthy hands? Don't you know that I, Jiang Chen, am the heaven's chosen son!? Peasant! I'll be benevolent and let you kowtow before this Daddy and cripple your dantian! After that, I might consider sparing your dog life!"
'This brat… Did he reincarnated in the wrong novel or game? Kid! This is not a Xianxia genre novel!'
Taigong Wang, at that time, was momentarily speechless.
He didn't even know if this kid was just acting like that because he read some novels or heard it from someone.
Still, he forced a smile and tried to touch him again, but the little guy just shoved his hand away again.
At that time, his mind was on the verge of exploding, he wanted to beaten up the rude brat and plummet him along with their useless old man.
That was a testament to his slowly waning patience.
And that, it only worsen upon his entry in the royal court.
The Emperor… he was useless as fuck.
Mostly all the internal struggle happening at the vicinity were tasked to the other people, while the Emperor…
He was like a light bulb flickering on and off.
The thing with the Fractsidus…
He was literally the one made to deal with it.
It was one thing if the only task given to him was handling the Fractsidus.
But…
As the Grand Chancellor…
He has more task than your average General of a Ministry…
Almost all the time, he needed to oversee the other Ministries, no matter what it is, from General Affairs to War, all of it!
It was all under it!
He was just an underaged boy you know!?
But fortunately, using his free time, he can still gather his strength and train, so that he has enough vitality and endurance to deal with the problems lingering all around the place.
In fact, he wanted to escape from the palace but… he knew he will get killed the moment he tries to step out.
Still, did he resent them? Well… no, not really, since although he has a lot of work, it is not comparable to his old working place before his reincarnation.
Plus, he has very beautiful colleagues, so how can he hate working there?
Changli is one of them, although they constantly teased him and when he tried fighting back, they say he is still very young, they were still very good to him.
Also he has a very cute childhood friend too, and that it was the supposedly Magistrate of Jinzhou, Jinhsi or still Hsi since she still has not taken the position of Magistrate at that time.
And to top it all up… The salary is very high! So how could he be dissatisfied?
Only fools would ignore such a high reward!
Still, when he finally turned 17, Changli had abdicate her position, the same time when the battle in the Norfall Barren has reached its conclusion, and when Geshu Lin has been dubbed dead.
And followed his childhood friend, Hsi towards the city of Jinzhou. Effectively becoming Hsi's Counselor in Jinzhou.
But there was something that made his head throbbed with anger…
That woman…
She left her position without even training a new Secretary-General!!
What is much worst is that, she doesn't even have a vice or secretary to hold the position after abdicating!
"That woman…"
Taigong Wang's eyebrows furrowed and said in a low voice, but filled with deep grudge…
"I'll make sure to punish that woman for all the things he had done to me… I'll make sure that he can't even walk after I do it!!"
The malice was so strong that the other girls who were working around, yelped and hurriedly scrambled out.
Because they know, if they didn't leave the area…
There are consequences.
With that, his work piled up even more.
Fortunately, he found someone to replace Changli, the girl was so efficient on her work that his work had reduced once again.
But… after a problem has been fixed, another one is bound to appear.
Only one month after he fixed, the Grandmaster Liang, or should he say, Grand Architect seemed to have reached his wits and tried to sabotaged him everytime.
Since everytime the Grand Architect tried to do something shrewd, the Grand Chancellor, Taigong Wang would destroy all of his plans.
It was as if Taigong Wang could already see through the Grand Architect's devious plan.
As for why Taigong Wang still haven't kicked out the Grand Architect…
He is too good at his job.
There isn't even a single print that could point out to the Grand Architect.
Still, one month before Taigong Wang abdicate his position, he managed to gather enough evidence to kick out the Grand Architect.
So he decisively asked the Emperor to give his consent in punishing *Grandmaster Liang*.
But the Emperor's answer left him speechless…
"We cannot let the Grandmaster Liang be kicked out of the Palace. Even if he is not the true Grandmaster Liang, he is still vital to our country. We might get ourselves tied up from the chains, so even a light punishment like getting kicked out is not worth it."
"But, Your Imperial-"
"Silence! This is also a decree the Sentinel gave us."
That final sentence was like a verdict to his ears.
He just gave a final bow to the Emperor and left the Imperial Court.
After that, he let out a soft sigh and rubbed his temples, thinking of what he should do now.
He looked at the golden carps swimming at the pond and thought to himself.
'Maybe this is the right moment to resign from my duties… well I should do my work first and help lighten up the others' works, so thatI can lay low, maybe even join the Main Character's adventure.'
With that he smiled faintly and walked towards his working place.
For the last month, he had worked himself to the bone and made sure to give his colleagues a farewell gift.
Coincidentally, it was his birthday, he thought that it was such a nice gift to be free from his working place but…
He was stunned the moment he stepped inside…
"Grand Chancellor Taigong Wang, you are to remain there. I'll now be relying the decree made upon from your crime!
You have been dubbed guilty for your crime, Tax Embezzlement.
As for your judgement, you shall be kicked out of the Palace, strip off of your position! And to pay 2,000,000 Shell Credits! Any questions?"
He just looked the minister and looked turned his gaze towards the Grand Architect.
Only to find him having a wide grin.
He immediately understand, this guy framed him when he was letting his guard down the last month.
Fortunately the sentence was quite lenient, or else… he might have been dubbed as a killer and traitor right now.
"I… accept."
He just decided to lay low for now, as he knew, while he can effectively, defeat the soldiers in here…
It cannot be said the same, once the Generals were to be despatched all at once, not to mention, the Grand Architect…
'Heh… So this is what you want huh… Be sure to wipe that butt of yours clean and healthy, I'll make sure you get to experience a moment you will never forget…'
Taigong Wang thought, while lightly snickering.
He gave up and paid the money and left the Palace.
He was now unemployed.
Well, it doesn't really matter to him since he has a lot of money right now.
And that, after leaving the capital of Mingting, his golden finger finally came.
...…
"Heh… I wonder how is that old bones is doing, I hope you are rotting right now! Wait no… I still gotta torture the piece of shit.
Though, now I remember why I have a short temper nowadays…"
Taigong Wang shrugged his shoulder and decided to open his inventory once more…
