This idea stirred up a storm in my mind that I had never dared to think about deeply before.
Ultimately, when he was secretly seeking revenge against Li Hetai, his conscience, which he had upheld for decades, became the last straw that broke him.
Or will he go against his conscience, succeed in getting revenge, and then spend the rest of his life hiding in his room, repenting for his actions?
Or they could simply give up, accept their fate of being wiped out, and die gracefully.
But honestly, is he content with that?
How could Gan Xinli and Tai, the tyrannical and domineering villains who stifled most of his freedom and soul in his past life, be able to breathe freely with him under the blue sky without any ripples?
The simple phrase "you have to give up something to gain something" is incredibly difficult for him to grasp.
Because he was born without the concept of cold-bloodedness, and his brain lacked the structure to make him cold-blooded, he instead possessed an extraordinary empathy.
As a result, no matter which path he chose, he would ultimately die with resentment.
and so……
"Thank you, system."
system;[?]
[Why is the host thanking me?]
"You helped me make a very difficult decision."
System: [Host, you didn't give me a choice?]
"Your appearance helped me choose from the very beginning."
Not a single shard of glass remained on the floor. After cleaning up the most dangerous area, Gu Xinglan finally got up, holding the soft, sticky noodles in her hands, and went into the bathroom to throw them all into the toilet.
No matter how well life is packaged, it will eventually become a pile of excrement, and its final destination is to be centrally processed in a septic tank.
There was a "wow" sound.
The toilet is clean again.
The person reflected in the mirror was carefully wiping their hands with water, not missing a single finger.
System: [Host, you won first place! Are you happy?]
"I'm so happy. Did you get that skill card?" Gu Xinglan wiped her hands and walked out, shaking off the negative energy on her body, and lay down on the child's bed.
System: [We've arrived. This system needs to explain the skill cards.]
[It works on the same principle as the skill cards you used when hosting your previous shows; the effect will be even better if used in conjunction with lucky charms.]
[It can detect skill gaps in real time and select the areas where you need the most skill learning.]
[And...this one is special, it was even blessed by Lord H?]
"What do you mean?"
System: [As the name suggests, this skill card is different from ordinary ones. It's not a one-time use card, but rather it can continuously upgrade and advance, essentially acting as a buff.]
[The prerequisite is that you must persevere. For example, if you are a beginner, you must learn the skill every day. If you give up, the skill will disappear, and you will never learn it.]
[If you persevere, your skills will improve explosively, allowing you to quickly advance from beginner to proficient. After success, you will have a week of relaxation time, and so on, one month, and one year, corresponding to the advanced and master levels respectively.]
[Once you reach the Master level, and all your friends praise you as an unparalleled master of a certain skill, you will permanently acquire that skill.]
Hearing this, Gu Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a fantastic opportunity for him.
"I want to use it in the original owner's profession."
System: [...But, host, you don't even know what kind of person the original owner was. What if the original owner didn't like this job?]
[It would be better if the host simply resigned. This system suggests that, until you complete your role, all your life should revolve around the task subject.]
He almost forgot that the original owner also had his own interpersonal relationships and interactions.
Currently, since he came to this world, no one from the original owner has come to his door.
Unless he goes to the original owner's company.
Thinking of this, Gu Xinglan was about to take out her phone to check the original owner's work group when suddenly, the sound of the doorknob turning rang out, which was extremely abrupt in the overly quiet room.
Gu Xinglan looked at the child who had come in.
The room's owner stood in the doorway, holding a bowl in his hands.
Steam rose from the bowl, and there was a faint aroma of noodles.
Li Hetai's sleeves were rolled up high, and there were still marks on his wrists from gripping. Not to mention the child's pants, which had both small pieces of porcelain and dried dark red stains.
Seeing the child's silent face, his heart clenched.
Gu Xinglan had to exert a great deal of effort to suppress the regret in her voice.
The bowl, once in hand, seemed to have been rinsed with cold water; it wasn't hot to the touch.
He looked at the noodles, then at the child.
This was the second time Li Hetai had cooked noodles for him. As Gu Xinglan picked up his chopsticks, he lowered his eyes and took the bowl.
The noodles had just entered my mouth.
A stench that was salty to the point of bitterness, spicy to the point of burning the heart, mixed with the smell of rotten eggs and stinky tofu from the sewers hit me right in the head!
The person eating noodles instantly contorted their expression.
His eyes were tightly closed because he could hardly swallow, and his mouth was on the verge of spitting out.
This child is trying to murder him!
"Li Hetai, are you crazy? What did you feed me?!" Gu Xinglan raised her voice, forcibly wiping away the tears in her eyes, and grabbed Li Hetai's shoulder hard with her fingers.
"Do you want me dead?!"
The dough wasn't mushy, and it had a light soy sauce color, making it look refreshing and delicious. But the taste was simply indescribable.
"What you cooked is worse than swill! It's a complete waste of food!..."
[Congratulations to task number 156 for completing three tasks, details as follows:]
1. The target of the threat mission is to cook noodles for you.
2. Force the task recipient to cook noodles.
3. Strike the noodles cooked by the target of the mission.
Completed. 24 hours gained, total 34 hours. Unfortunately, you've avoided choking on your food tomorrow.
With an unpleasant taste still lingering in her mouth, Gu Xinglan stopped grabbing the person when she heard the electronic voice in her head indicating that the task was completed. She took off running and went straight to the toilet seat, vomiting all over it, almost to the point that her stomach was about to come out of her mouth.
He's about to choke to death on his food!
Gu Xinglan gagged and vomited until she couldn't vomit anymore before leaning against the toilet seat, her body tears streaming uncontrollably.
He risked half his life for those 24 hours.
With that kind of skill, he could probably gain time by exchanging a few moves with Li Hetai, instead of suffering like this.
When he finally managed to walk out, trembling and leaning against the wall, he saw that small figure standing there, just like before, slowly putting noodles into her mouth with those chopsticks.
Seeing this, the danger he had just experienced while eating noodles resurfaced in his mind.
With her hands moving faster than her brain, Gu Xinglan instantly strode over and snatched the bowl away.
As a result, only the soup base remained inside...
"You..." Gu Xinglan's hand holding the bowl trembled: "Are you crazy? What if you get gastroenteritis from eating this?!"
With a sharp "bang," without any mercy, he flicked his fingers and smacked Li Hetai's forehead hard.
As she withdrew her hand, Gu Xinglan paused when her eyes met Li Hetai's dark gaze.
Without saying a word, he took the bowl and left the room.
Before the door was completely closed, a low sobbing sound came from inside.
The sound, like pulling a kite string, slowly drew Gu Xinglan's attention back into the room.
Li Hetai... also vomited.
Gu Xinglan tiptoed back into the room and quietly stood by the bathroom door.
Through the gap, the child's trembling back could be seen as he leaned against the toilet.
