Chapter 20 The First System Task



Around noon, the train finally arrived at Shangdu Railway Station.

Shen Qingli, Shen Mingan, Zhao Xiufen and Chu Yi said goodbye at the exit of the train station.

The jeep carrying Chu Yi roared away, leaving only a cloud of dust on the ground.

Shen Qingli suddenly covered her stomach and said to Shen Mingan and Zhao Xiufen:

"Dad, Mom, I'm hungry. Let's have lunch before we go!"

In fact, Shen Qingli was not too hungry, but she just overheard her father's stomach growling, so in order not to embarrass her father, she said she was hungry.

When Shen Mingan and Zhao Xiufen heard their daughter say she was hungry, they nodded in agreement.

It didn't matter to them if they went home hungry, they were used to it anyway, but their daughter had lived a life of luxury since she was a child and had never been hungry, so they couldn't let her go home hungry with them as soon as she got home.

After dinner, the three of them rushed to the station to wait for the bus back to Lin'an County.

While waiting for the train, Shen Mingan continued to tell Shen Qingli what he had not finished telling her on the train.

In fact, the Shen family had always been small before Shen Qingli's eldest brother Shen Qingyu was born.

The first and second wives of the Shen family got married four or five years earlier than Shen Mingan, but they only had one child each. Although they became pregnant later, none of them survived past the age of three, and one of the babies was even stillborn.

Not only that, the Shen family used to be extremely unlucky. Not only did they have few people, but they also had bad luck and no fortune at all.

Whenever you make some money, you will definitely spend it within three days for various reasons.

The richest time for the family was the eight years when my father Shen Mingan was in the army. He not only saved money, but also used the money to help my eldest uncle and second uncle get married and build houses.

But after his father retired, the Shen family fell back into their former state and all kinds of misfortunes began to plague the family again.

Fortunately, his father, Shen Mingan, was thoughtful and had secretly saved some money during his years in the army. Otherwise, he would not even have enough money to marry a wife.

When Shen Mingan said this, Shen Qingli couldn’t help but gave a thumbs up to her father: “Dad, you are this, really!”

"Haha!" Shen Mingan scratched his head embarrassedly after being praised by his daughter. "Isn't this just in case? Who would have thought that it would actually be used in the end?"

After that, Shen Mingan continued speaking.

The next year after my father married my mother Zhao Xiufen, he had a big fat boy, my eldest brother Shen Qingyu.

But since Shen Qingyu was born, the third branch of the Shen family seemed to have absorbed all the bad luck of the entire Shen family. Nothing went well for them, and even their children died one after another. In the end, they only had three children with problems.

In contrast, the other two families were no longer unlucky. Their lives began to get better. They gave birth to children one after another, and all of them survived in good health.

Everyone in the village was saying that the third branch of the Shen family was unlucky with children. Otherwise, why would one child die after being born? Even the three children who survived were not healthy.

But they forgot that it was the entire Shen family that was unlucky with their children before, but now it was all blamed on the third branch.

When Old Lady Shen was young, every child she gave birth to died. Even among the three children who survived, except for the eldest who was healthy, the other three had suffered many disasters.

The second child was born with six fingers on his left hand. He was treated like a little monster since he was a child. Later, in a fit of anger, he chopped off his sixth finger with a kitchen knife.

Although the third child was born healthy, he was weak and sickly since childhood and almost died several times. He became healthy only after joining the army, but he almost died on the battlefield.

The fourth child was a girl who was born mute. When she was thirteen years old, she was sold by Old Lady Shen by her legs.

"98K, do you feel something is wrong?" Shen Qingli always felt that the Shen family was too unlucky.

"It's really unlucky!" 98K's voice rang out in Shen Qingli's mind, "Master, why not listen to the old master before making any judgment!"

Shen Qingli nodded and continued to listen to Shen Mingan attentively.

When his mother Zhao Xiufen was pregnant with Shen Qingli, his eldest brother Shen Qingyu experienced a life-and-death crisis.

The five-year-old boy was hit by a club by some cruel person. Although he was rescued, he turned from a little prodigy into a big fool.

Dad Shen Ming'an heard that there were experts in this field in a large hospital in Beijing, so he asked his comrades to contact a brain expert, and borrowed money from relatives and friends. He and his wife, who was more than seven months pregnant, took their eldest son Shen Qingyu to Beijing.

Due to the fatigue of traveling, Zhao Xiufen, who had just settled her son, gave birth prematurely.

On the same day, another pregnant woman gave birth prematurely due to an accidental fall. She was Shen Qingli's adoptive mother.

It was also on that day that Shen Qingli and Shen Yuning, who were also born prematurely, exchanged eighteen years of their lives due to the nurse's negligence.

After Shen Qingli was born, Shen Qingyu, who had also been sentenced to death by Beijing's brain experts, miraculously began to recover, and his condition got better year by year. He went from not recognizing people to being able to read and write. Now, except for his slow reaction, he has no other problems.

However, the second brother Shen Qingxuan's eyes and the third brother Shen Qingyang's legs have not improved.

Shen Qingli, who has many years of experience in reading novels, felt something was wrong when she heard this.

Thinking of the six-word description of the ending of the third room in the book - the family was broken up and all the people died, Shen Qingli felt that there must be some unspeakable secret.

"98K, the Shen family must have some unspeakable secret! Also, why did the other two branches suddenly escape this unfortunate fate, while our third branch ended up with the whole family destroyed!"

Shen Qingli did not wait for 98K's reply, but suddenly received a system task.

After 98K devoured Shen Rongrong's system, it gained the system's functions and was thus bound to Shen Qingli.

Of course, its binding with Shen Qingli is different from the binding between the system and Shen Rongrong. It and Shen Qingli are master and servant, and it has been so in the past and will be so in the future.

With this system function, the relationship between them can become closer.

[Ding~ Host, please complete the only main task! ]

【Mission mode: mandatory.】

[Task content: Find out the reason why the Shen family is plagued by misfortune!]

【Task time: unlimited.】

[Mission Difficulty: Grade A]

[Task Reward: System Points: Points, Host's World Currency: Yuan, Foreign Exchange Coupons: Yuan.]

"98K, why did you suddenly give me a mission?" Shen Qingli looked at the 98K in her arms in confusion.

98K blinked his innocent eyes and said helplessly, "I'm half a system now. Some things must be done according to the rules. This is probably the aftereffect of swallowing that system!"

"What impact will it have on you if you fail to complete the task?" Shen Qingli asked anxiously.

98K devoured that crappy system in order to save her, otherwise it wouldn't be subject to the rules of this system.

"Formatted!" 98K's eyes flashed.

"format?"

Shen Qingli didn't expect it to be so serious. Formatting the system was equivalent to erasing it.

She doesn't want, and cannot let, the 98K be formatted!
