Struggling to survive in the hands of the male protagonist who also wears books

It was the growling stomach that finally revived Fili.

The system couldn't provide him with food, so Philip pulled himself together and prepared to go out to find something to eat.

According to the original text, the original owner is a very lonely person. Although he has a good appearance, he is addicted to magic every day and never communicates with other people. Only the owner of the rented room and Philip's magic teacher will meet with him. There is some communication.

A magician is a very money-consuming profession. The various materials used in daily experiments and experimental equipment that are often damaged require a lot of money to support them.Therefore, most magicians are either born in nobles, or rely on nobles, otherwise they will not be able to improve their strength at all.

But Feili’s background is not good. He was born in a rural village. A passing magician accidentally discovered that Feili, who was still a child at the time, had the talent of elemental sensing, so he accepted Feili as an apprentice and brought Feili to the Phoenix Empire. However, not long after, the magician died in a magical backlash. Fili inherited the relics of the teacher, and carefully practiced magic according to the little magic knowledge he had, and occasionally asked for advice. Let me tell you about a magician friend of the teacher, who grew up stumbling like this, when the current Philip crossed over, he was only a second-level magician, belonging to the bottom of the magician class.

Poverty and weakness made Fili feel inferior. His daily expenses were earned by doing small tasks for the common people. He had no money and no desire to communicate with other people. He only wanted to improve his magic power so that he could be accepted by a nobleman. No worries about food and clothing.

However, magic practice in this world is very dangerous. Although the spiritual power can communicate with the surrounding elements, but because everyone's spiritual power and desire are different, the same magic works for different people, and the way the spiritual power operates is also different. Different.Therefore, when learning new magic, it is necessary to simulate a safe casting space with devices and materials in advance, and find the one that suits you best through trial and error.

The reason why the original owner was backlashed by magic was because he was eager to learn new magic and had no money to buy materials for the simulation space. He gritted his teeth and took risks, but he was not lucky.

With endless thoughts in his mind, Philip slowly left his den, walked through the narrow corridors and stairs, and walked to the hall downstairs.

There were a lot of people in the hall, it was noisy, it was full of the alcohol smell of beer, the smell of barbecue and the smell of human sweat, which made Philip wrinkle his nose unaccustomed.Because the original owner has always been a loner and a magician, although many people saw Feili come down, they only glanced at his bare feet and continued to play with themselves.

Fili stared at the ground and slowly walked towards the counter that seemed to be selling food.Thanks to the backlash of magic, the original owner's clothing is only the magic robe stored in the closet, which is still intact. Even the shoes have been eroded by the magic power of the rampage, and they can't be worn anymore. So now he must Walk with your eyes on the ground so you don't accidentally step on something and get hurt.

The system is still chattering in his head: "My dear, the most important thing for us right now is to get in touch with the male lead first. First of all, we need to determine where the male lead's mission is now~"

Fei Li weakly interrupted the system's nagging: "Your poor host is about to starve to death, please give me some money to buy some food."

"Hey, but our serious system does not provide money transactions." The system checked the host's physical state and provided a new message, "But dear, you really need to replenish your energy... The bar in this place seems to be able to On credit, your teacher has rented this store for ten years at a stretch, and the original owner has lived here for eight years, so it should be okay to have lunch on credit."

As long as there is something to eat.Feeling refreshed, Philip walked to the front of the bar, glanced at the menu in incomprehensible words, and carefully ordered the same food as the previous customer.

After ordering the food, Philip asked carefully: "I didn't bring any money, can I give it together next time?"

The bartender was a girl in her twenties with light brown curly hair and a little freckles on her face.After Feili finished speaking, he felt a little apprehensive, fearing that his performance would be too different from the original owner's, and fearing that the waiter would not accept credit.

Unexpectedly, the curly-haired girl met Philip's gaze, blushed slightly, brought out the barbecue and beer swiftly, and replied shyly, "Oh, of course it's no problem, Mr. Philip."

A bearded uncle looked at the curly-haired girl's red face, and laughed aloud: "Ha! Our Tina has also reached the emotional season recently!"

Tina still had a shy expression when facing Feili, but when she turned her head to face the customer, her face changed, she slapped the bar counter, and said fiercely: "Drinking can't stop your mouth! Hurry up!" Be careful, I will give you chin grass in the wine and make you have diarrhea for three days!"

"..." Fili took his food with a little embarrassment and found a seat and sat down.He's not quite used to this bar atmosphere yet.

But... Fei Li was biting the large piece of roasted meat, while chatting with the system in his heart: "Is the original owner pretty handsome?" Woolen cloth.

The system replied: "According to the original description, it is indeed cuter—of course I don't understand your human aesthetics."

Fili almost choked on the meat: "Cute? Is this used to describe a man?"

"Be sober, this body is only 17 years old now."

"I'm still a half-grown child." Feili said with emotion, "No wonder I feel so short, probably less than 1.7 meters." When he read the original novel, he only had a rough overview, and he was starved without paying attention to the details. I was so forced to go downstairs, I hardly paid attention to such things as height and appearance.

The system is very clear about the data: "The current host is 1.6 meters tall. According to the original novel, Philip can grow to 1.7 meters six in the end."

"1.7 meters six...about the same as I used to be, it's okay." Fili didn't really mind his height, so he just said it casually and continued to fight with the barbecue.

After eating a large piece of barbecue, Fili sighed contentedly while clutching his bulging stomach, and slumped on the seat like a salted fish.

After savoring the taste of the barbecue, Fili remembered his current task: "System, can you detect the status of the male lead and the Phoenix Ring?"

System: "Hi dear, for this test, you need to be close to the target 300 meters~"

Philip: "... 300 meters, I can almost see it directly, what do you need?"

The system was very wronged: "Hey, you don't want to spend money, but you want high performance. How can such a good thing come from?"

Philip was shocked: "What? You are still a krypton gold system?"

System: "Of course, there are only basic functions here now. If you recharge a lot of money, you can upgrade the functions of the system, so that you can use it more easily~"

"Didn't you just say that your official system does not provide money transactions?"

"Oh, if you want money, then I'm a serious system; if you want to recharge money, then whatever you say is what you say, and if you have money, you are the uncle~"

Poor guy, eats on credit, Philip fell silent.

After being silent for a while, Feili returned to the topic of the task: "You can't detect the status of the hero and the Phoenix Ring. If the hero goes to act like a baby with the emperor, won't you be able to touch the Phoenix Ring directly? When the time comes Take the things and run straight away, even the gods can't stop them."

"You don't have to worry about that." The system returned to a serious tone, "The main task of the opposite host should not be to get the Phoenix Ring, but some other goal; the Phoenix Ring should be his side task, it is impossible to just take it Running."

"Huh? Isn't the main target of the opponent the Phoenix Ring?" Fili was taken aback. "I thought both sides had the same goal in this kind of PVP game."

"I told you that it's not PVP." The system patiently explained, "The other party should have other main tasks, and getting the Phoenix Ring is just incidental, and your task is just to prevent the other party from getting the Phoenix Ring, and you don't need to interfere with him." other missions—as long as he completes his main mission and leaves this world without taking the Phoenix Ring with him.”

"If you put it this way..." Fili pondered for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Then if the other party leaves this world with the Phoenix Ring after I die, wouldn't it make no difference whether I finish it or not?"

……

The system fell silent, and after a while, it spoke again, with a trace of panic in the voice: "My dear! You can complain directly if you are not satisfied with me, won't your conscience hurt if you cheat me like this? ?”

Philip was amused by the system, thinking that he would have to live with the system for many years in the future, so he comforted it: "Don't worry, I will try my best to complete the task-after all, I can't guarantee that the other party will be willing to delay it for decades. Mission accomplished."

Only then did the system feel a little relieved, and secretly made up its mind that there must be a time limit for the next mission assigned to the host.

But now that he knew that the other party's main mission was not the Phoenix Ring, Feili finally had a little confidence in his mission.He asked again: "Then do you know what the hero's main task is?" If you know the other party's task, maybe you can reach a cooperation.

The system answered honestly: "I don't know, the system on the other side is very strict about this."

Fili wasn't disappointed if he didn't get an answer. After all, he already had expectations in his heart. If the system knew the task on the other side, he should have told himself before.

Feeling his full stomach, thinking that he is now penniless and in debt for a meal, Feili sighed: "The primary goal now is really to make money."

The system enthusiastically provided the original owner with a way to make money: "The original owner went to the civilian area to pick up some small jobs that can be done with simple magic, such as watering the farmland, digging holes, and killing wild animals."

Fili looked at his thin hands, and said depressedly: "I don't know any magic now, and I can't do these jobs." Just after he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and he lifted his spirits and asked, "By the way, in the original novel, was the original owner backlashed by magic? What happened afterwards?"

"In the original book, Feili was also backlashed by magic. Although his mental power was severely damaged, he saved his life. When he went to the Magicians Association to find a cure, he met the Crown Prince of Crete. The Holy Father of Crete had a seizure. See Fili was traumatized and penniless, so he offered an olive branch to Fili, so Fili was recruited by Crete, and with Crete's support, he was able to heal his mental power and continue to practice." The system flipped through the original work , replied, "This is the opportunity for Philip and Crete to meet."

After listening to the introduction of the system, Feili let go of the fighting spirit that had just been recharged: "The problem is that the current Crete is no longer the original Holy Father Crete... I feel like I am in front of him now." will be directly hacked to death."

The system has a different opinion: "I think you can go and meet him. On the one hand, he is not the original Crete, so there shouldn't be much hatred for Fili who killed Crete's father and the harem in the original book— — After all, it’s still something that hasn’t happened yet; on the other hand, I can only check his current state if you get close to him, and confirm whether the Phoenix Ring is on his body now.”

"It makes sense." Fili pondered for a while, and regained some motivation, "I remember that Crete set out to find some herbs in the Wind Whisper Forest, and he was away from the imperial capital for a long time, so we can plan calmly Follow up."

As soon as he said go, Fei Li stood up and asked the system in his heart as he walked out of the hall: "System, do you know how to get to the Magician's Association?"

System: "Of course I know dear, come on, turn left when you go out..."

.......................................

With system navigation, Fili focused on the ground along the way to avoid stepping on sharp things.The tavern that Philip rented was close to the pier and the civilian area, so there were a lot of pedestrians on the street, and most of them would look curiously at Philip's naked feet.Fili was uncomfortable being stared at by passers-by, so he had to put on the hood on his robe to cover the sight of passers-by.

It was the first time in his life that he walked such a long distance barefoot. When Fili arrived at his destination, he sat down on the side of the road and felt that the soles of his feet could already boil eggs.

The Magician's Association is a very quaint courtyard, the gate is open, and you can see the fountain in the courtyard.However, Philip remembers that it was said in the original book that this courtyard is only the appearance of the Association of Magicians. In fact, the Association of Magicians is in another space. This is just a space portal, which can only be activated by orthodox magicians. Go to the Association of Magicians headquarters.

In other words, Fili, who is now a completely ordinary person, cannot enter the Association of Magicians.Fortunately, Fili was not harmed by mental power, so he didn't need to go to the Association of Magicians for treatment. He sat on the side of the road, just waiting for the hero Crete to pass by, so that he could confirm the whereabouts of the Phoenix Ring.

After waiting for about an hour, the chatting system with Fili was suddenly excited: "Here we come! Crete is here!"

Fili, who was drowsy from the sun, regained his spirits and looked up. Sure enough, he saw a group of guards coming from the other side of the road, surrounded by some people who couldn't see clearly.

The system detected the situation of the visitors, and praised: "In addition to Crete, there are also Vera Tualante, the favorite female student of the president of the Magic Association, and the famous high-level female warrior Lacey, this Crete You are so quick!"

Both Vera and Lacey are the harem of Kritt in the original book. Not only are they beautiful in appearance, but they are also very powerful in combat.Fili remembered that in the original novel, these two girls were met by Crete in the later adventures, but he didn't expect them to be mixed together now. It seems that this colleague who came through the book is quite good at picking up girls.Hey, look at the identity of the time traveler, and then look at yourself...

Putting away the jealousy in his heart, Fei Li urged the system: "Sister is not important, quickly check if the Phoenix Ring is in his hands?" It would be troublesome if he took the Phoenix Ring away from his hand.

System: "Confirmed, the Phoenix Ring is not near him."

That is not bad.Philip breathed a sigh of relief, put on his hood again, and prepared to leave quietly—even though this Critter had only read the outline of the novel, he probably wouldn't directly recognize him as the later Dark Phoenix Philip I, but Philip Li still didn't want to take risks.

But... Fili hesitated a little after walking a few steps. He turned his head, stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of Critter—he should see Critter's appearance clearly before leaving, so that he can understand in time in the future. about Crete.

Just when Fili was looking at Kriter, it happened that Kriter was also facing this way, and the two saw each other's face at the same time.The four eyes met, and both sides were taken aback.

In Feili's opinion, Crete is worthy of being the male protagonist of the stallion. From the appearance, he is simply irresistible. He has short blond hair mixed with a little red, his eyes are light blue like the sky, and the bridge of his nose is tall and straight. The figure, Marysu's breath rushed to her face.

Knowing the appearance of Crete, Fili was ready to withdraw now.This good looks is very recognizable, and Fili feels that he will never forget any mistakes in the future.

However, just as Fili was about to turn around and leave, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kriter say something to the people around him, and walked towards him.

A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Philip's back.
