Chapter 186 Yaozu in the Mountain Village (Part 1) *Beep!* The campaign to be a good person is underway...

When Song Ce regained consciousness, he found himself surrounded by a field of flowers in full bloom. The colorful blossoms swayed gently in the breeze, and a faint fragrance filled the air. He slowly stood up, leaning against the wall, and saw several drab gray buildings in the distance, with a three-meter-tall statue of a famous person standing in front of them.

It seems this is a school.

Song Ce simply stood still, closed his eyes, and began to examine the original owner's memories.

The original owner of this body was born in a poor mountain village in Northwest China. He was eighteen years old this year and had an older sister named Song Xi, who was half a year older than him. The more remote and underdeveloped the place, the more pampered the boys were, and this was also the case in the original owner's family.

When the original owner was twelve years old, her mother passed away due to illness. Before her death, her mother held her older sister's hand tightly and told her that no matter what happened in the future, she must take good care of her younger brother.

Because of this sentence, the older sister, Song Xiwei, sacrificed her entire life for the original owner of this body.

From that day on, the older sister took over all the housework, and under her sister's care, the original owner didn't have to do anything except study hard. Initially cautious, the original owner gradually became accustomed to this preferential treatment, taking it all for granted. Occasionally, when neighbors remarked, "Your sister is so good to you," she would only respond casually.

After entering high school, although the original owner of this body did not study as hard as his sister, he was very intelligent, and the two siblings ranked at the top of their class. In this way, the original owner and his sister were both admitted to prestigious universities.

After the lively celebration, the harsh reality confronted this impoverished family: they had no money.

The original owner's father was forty-eight years old and a barefoot doctor with a meager income, unable to support two university students. Between his daughter and son, he had to sacrifice one's education; without a doubt, that person was his older sister.

The older sister did try to resist, saying she could apply for a temporary student loan and pay it back slowly after graduation. But her efforts were met with the original owner's bewildered questions and her father's angry accusations.

After all, attending Beijing Medical University takes a full five years, and if she wants a better career after graduation, she'll need to take the postgraduate entrance exam. All things considered, her studies alone will take seven or eight years. If she goes to a teacher's college, she can graduate in three years and start earning a living as a teacher.

Under her father's continued pressure, the older sister could only tearfully give up her admission to Beijing Medical University and apply to a teachers' college in the same city. At the same time, the original owner of this body successfully applied to her desired university and came to the bustling capital.

After witnessing the prosperity of the capital city, the original owner's thoughts underwent a complete transformation.

In order to "fit in" with his classmates, the original owner began to frequently complain to his father and sister that he was looked down upon by his classmates at school. They mocked him as a country bumpkin and said he was "poor".

Worried that his son, who was thousands of miles away, would be mistreated, the father not only went out to do odd jobs himself, but also forced his sister to work part-time during her spare time to support the original owner's increasingly extravagant spending.

After all, his son was the precious darling of the Song family!

Even so, the original owner was still not satisfied. Why did those peers who were inferior to her in every way have everything from birth? On the other hand, she had to scrimp and save for almost half a year to barely afford the latest iPhone.

That's unfair!

This world is unfair!

This extreme thinking inexplicably made the original owner feel irritable. And this irritation completely erupted after seeing the new car his roommate's family had bought for him.

That night, the original owner couldn't sleep, tossing and turning. He looked at the loan advertisement that popped up on his phone and, as if possessed, borrowed several thousand yuan from the platform. Then he went to a car rental company and rented a car that was more expensive than his roommate's to show off.

He stood beside the rented car, listening to his classmates' praise, his heart brimming with unprecedented pride.

His roommate, a rich kid, naturally resented the original owner of this body being outdone. He sneered and suggested a car race bet: whoever won would have the better car. The original owner readily agreed.

The accident happened on the day of the race. The original owner was completely unfamiliar with the car's interior and accidentally wrecked it beyond recognition. The rental company demanded an exorbitant 80,000 yuan in compensation, threatening to take the matter to his school and ruin his reputation if he didn't comply.

The original owner was terrified. Her face turned pale as she called her father and tremblingly confessed that she had been "forced" to owe 80,000 yuan.

Her father was just a barefoot doctor with a meager income; how could he possibly scrape together such a huge sum of money? Almost instantly, the original owner thought of her older sister, who was studying at a university in the city.

While college students are nothing special in big cities these days, they are a rare sight in villages!

Hearing the original owner's cries and pleas on the phone, the father felt terrible. After all, his son was the only heir of the Song family, and he couldn't let anything happen to him! So, the father gritted his teeth and pretended to be sick to trick his sister into coming home and locking her in the house, so that she would marry a villager for her brother's future.

The older sister, who was locked up, felt a wave of dizziness and almost fainted. She couldn't believe that her quiet and shy younger brother had committed such a terrible crime. She knelt on the ground, begging her father to let her go, saying that she could find part-time jobs, tutor, or hand out flyers to earn money for her brother to pay off his debts. But her father shook his head, unmoved.

After all, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket compared to the compensation of 80,000 yuan.

Finally, the older sister was forced to marry a good-for-nothing from the next village who only had a junior high school education and owned a small house. He brought back 80,000 yuan as a bride price for the original owner of the body, and only then was the matter finally settled.

From then on, the original owner of this body became much more well-behaved. He began to study hard and even set his sights on a wealthy female classmate, pursuing her relentlessly.

To win over his female classmate, the original owner of this body used sweet words to coax her into bed and meticulously planned to get her pregnant. Soon, news of the classmate's premarital pregnancy spread rapidly throughout the school, and she spent her final year on campus struggling amidst gossip and rumors.

Upon learning of this, the female student's family quickly arranged for her to suspend her studies due to health issues and forced her to go abroad. Yuan, feeling resentful, shamelessly went to the female student's house to demand an explanation, only to be beaten and driven away by her parents with a broom.

Enraged, the original owner of this body, who had been pampered since childhood and never been laid a hand on, used his intelligence to find an opportunity on a rainy night to sneak into his girlfriend's house and brutally kill her parents with a pre-prepared hammer.

He thought his "revenge plan" was flawless, and even managed to trick a car into returning home with sweet talk during his escape. However, he never expected that his female classmate's house had several surveillance cameras installed. Just like that, the original owner of this body became a murderer, wanted nationwide.

With nowhere else to turn, the original owner of this body clung to a sliver of hope and returned to the village at night to discuss with her father what to do next. What she found instead was her father lying on the bed, barely alive.

The father was so thin he was unrecognizable, and his voice was weak. He gripped the original owner's hand tightly and said haltingly, "Son... the police... are here... I've always been an honest and law-abiding father... please, please don't cause any more trouble..."

My sister stood to the side; she looked ten years older than before, with vacant eyes and bruises on her face that hadn't faded.

The original owner of this body felt no remorse whatsoever as he watched all this. Instead, he felt that his father and sister were incompetent and unable to "settle things" for him. So he drove the car he had tricked along the way, intending to leave the capital. However, as soon as he reached the checkpoint, he was caught red-handed by the police officers who were lying in wait there.

The original owner, whose mind was already extremely twisted, stepped on the gas, trying to force his way through. The police car in front quickly swerved to block him. With bloodshot eyes and a near-manic expression on his face, he crashed straight into two innocent pedestrians.

The immense impact left the original owner of this body dazed. Before he could react, several police officers dragged him out of the car. He struggled desperately, cursing incessantly.

"Why! Why did I end up like this!"

Soon, the police subdued the original owner and put handcuffs on him.

The original owner of this body was pinned to the ground, his anger and despair reaching their peak. He recalled his meticulously planned "revenge scheme," which he thought was flawless, but was completely exposed by a few surveillance cameras.

He hates it! He hates it so much!

He hated that female classmate for abandoning him and going abroad; he hated her parents for breaking them up and installing surveillance cameras in their home; he also hated his father and sister, because in his opinion, if they had any ability, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

On the day the original owner was sentenced to death, he saw his sister in the distance from the back of the crowd. She had arrived at the courtroom at some point, looking at him with a complex expression—a mixture of sadness, disappointment, and a strange sense of relief.

The original owner glared at his sister, his heart filled with resentment. He roared furiously, "What are you looking at! It's all because you're useless! I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!" He shouted loudly, but all he got in return was his sister's gentle shake of her head and her resolute departure.

...

After receiving the original owner's memories, Song Ce cursed under his breath and summoned 702.

"System, what's going on? How can such scum become your wish-granting person?" Song Ce asked.

The mechanical voice of the boy, 702, quickly rang in Song Ce's mind: "Host, this is not a wish-granting mission, but a bug in the internal system of the group next door. Completing the mission will earn you double soul energy rewards, so I snatched one for you."

Seeing Song Ce's slightly furrowed brows, 702 remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Host, actually, it's not entirely the original owner's fault. It's because one of the mission takers is an antisocial illegal transmigrator who went so far as to destroy multiple small worlds for a high-level item... So, the entire system space is currently cleaning up the mess he made."

"I see... If that's the case, then we have no choice but to accept this mission."

"Ding—Host's mission this time is: to change the tragic fate of your sister, female classmate, her parents, and passersby, and to become a good person who is useful to society."

Song Ce nodded and looked at the current time. It was the day after the siblings received their college entrance exam scores.

On that same day, her father forced her older sister to go to school to change her college application. When her sister's homeroom teacher, Ms. Yao, learned of this, she specifically asked her to stay behind and talk to her, advising her to think carefully about her own future.

Song Ce dusted himself off and, following the original owner's memories, went directly to his sister Song Xi's class—Class 39 of Senior High School.
