The injured and unconscious Henry Clark seemed to enter another, deeper dream world. All around was darkness, with only a halo of light swirling at the center, forming a peculiar face.

System: "Self-rescue mission successful. Reward: Gained a powerful backer, become the adopted son of the grand eunuch James Thompson."

"Who are you?" Henry Clark asked, "Are you the one who brought me to this damned world?"

System: "Yes!"

Henry Clark said, "What is your purpose in bringing me to this world?"

System: "Cannot disclose."

Henry Clark said, "Then at least let me become a normal man again. I can't live without women. I need women every single day of the year."

System: "Host's yang energy value is insufficient, unable to restore to a normal man."

The voice of this strange light and shadow had no pauses, nor any emotional color.

Henry Clark said, "What is yang energy value?"

System: "A normal man's yang energy value is one hundred, so he can marry and have children."

Henry Clark said, "Then what is my yang energy value?"

System: "Zero."

Henry Clark: "Damn, then how can I restore my yang energy value to one hundred?"

System: "You are a natural eunuch. Only through acquired stimulation can you recover and become a normal man. Therefore, completing special missions can increase your yang energy value."

Henry Clark said, "Special missions? Like what?"

"You will know when the time comes." System: "Initiating the first stage main mission: Graduation Exam."

"Mission objective: Take first place in the Eunuch Faction Academy graduation exam and successfully enter the Eastern Depot."

"Success reward: 15 points of yang energy, 10 points of merit, and a martial arts manual."

Power is a man's hormone, so it actually makes sense that entering the Eastern Depot can increase yang energy. As for merit points, they are the sole indicator for promotion within the Eunuch Faction. Once merit reaches 100, you become the number one leader of the Eunuch Faction. Currently, Henry Clark's merit is also zero.

So the rewards for this mission are extremely generous.

"Failure penalty: Complete erasure."

At that moment, Henry Clark in the dream was startled, because the punishment was too severe—failure meant direct obliteration.

There were only six months left until the ultimate exam of the Eunuch Faction Academy, and Henry Clark's grades were absolutely dead last. To become number one from the bottom was as hard as reaching the sky—how could it be possible?

Others had been studying and training hard for nearly five years, but Henry Clark had to start from scratch.

"Six months to go from last place to first? You might as well just kill me," Henry Clark said angrily.

System: "Mission failure will result in immediate erasure of the host's soul."

Henry Clark was silent for a long while, then asked, "Can I really not ask about the purpose of my transmigration here?"

"No." The system replied, "You only need to know that everything in this world is real, just as real as the Earth you came from. Your transmigration is to accomplish an extremely important mission."

Henry Clark said, "Am I the only one?"

"No, you are the ninth." The system said, "The previous eight all failed and were dealt with."

Damn it!

……

"Bastard, bastard..." Henry Clark muttered, waving his hands, then suddenly opened his eyes.

The things that happened in the dream, that strange light and shadow—was it real, or just a dream?

He quickly confirmed that it was real, not a dream, otherwise he wouldn't have transmigrated to this world.

After being unconscious for several days and nights, he finally woke up, finding himself lying on a luxurious and soft bed, with even the air around him carrying a fragrance.

Of course, he should have woken up earlier, but remaining in a coma was better for treatment and recovery. With cost-no-object treatment, when Henry Clark woke up, he didn't feel particularly weak or in much pain, and even his wounds had already scabbed over. Some special healing medicines in this world were truly remarkable.

The first thing Henry Clark saw when he opened his eyes was the gentle yet haggard face of his wet nurse. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying; she hadn't slept for days and nights. At first, it was out of worry for Henry Clark, and then to take care of him.

"Bianner..." Seeing Henry Clark awake, the wet nurse cried out in delight, rushing over and gently hugging his head. But then she couldn't say a word, only tears kept streaming down.

"I'm sorry for making you worry," Henry Clark said.

"Don't talk..." The wet nurse wiped away her tears and smiled at Henry Clark, then immediately went to bring over the ginseng chicken soup she had already stewed. "Quick, drink the blood chicken ginseng soup."

Next, the wet nurse fed the blood chicken ginseng soup to Henry Clark spoon by spoon.

When he was almost finished, footsteps sounded outside. The Eunuch Faction leader James Thompson walked in, stood at the bedside, and looked at Henry Clark without saying a word.

After feeding the last two spoonfuls of soup, the wet nurse bowed deeply to James Thompson and then withdrew. Henry Clark also hurriedly sat up straight, but did not get out of bed to salute.

Two young eunuchs came in, brought a luxurious rosewood chair to the bedside, and James Thompson sat down.
