As a law-abiding citizen, Han Lenian finally chose to open the door and go out to face the facts.
Of course, the loss of the restaurant was not charged to him in the end. Han Lenian also learned from a man who seemed to be a "manager" who arrived later that Mr. Xiang who left first was the owner of the restaurant.
In order to comfort him from the shock, the other party changed to another private room and served him a new meal.
But Han Lenian was so frightened today that he couldn't eat anything. He just moved the knife and fork a few times. Under normal circumstances, he might have a headache about how to use the tableware, but now he didn't care at all.
He mechanically stuffed a few bites of food into his mouth and then said he was going to leave.
He didn't even pay much attention to the dim sum that the restaurant packed for him to take away, which they said were the store's signature dishes.
However, the small cake he brought back unexpectedly received praise from his younger brother. This finally calmed Han Lenian's heart, which had been frightened all day. At the same time, he became more certain of the previous scenario that "his younger brother was a victim affected by the fight for family property among the wealthy family."
——After all, even his favorite food is so expensive, he must have been a spoiled young master in the past.
Han Lenian: "Don't worry, Lulu, after your brother gets a job..."
I heard from Zhuang Zhan that the salary of the Taoist priest is very high, so it’s just snacks, so he should be able to afford it.
Chu Lu: "...?"
I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
However, the subsequent developments were indeed no different from the plot that Mao Xingchang had passed on to him.
——Han Lenian gradually integrated into the world of Taoist priests under the guidance of his friends.
Compared to the original destiny line, the protagonist's growth rate is a little bit faster, and the master's rating is a little bit higher.
But generally speaking, these deviations are still within the tolerable range of the plot development. Chu Lu feels that it is not easy for his destiny line to lead to the current point when he did not know the plot in the early stage and caused so many interferences.
As he thought this, he urged the younger generations in the department to quickly improve their abilities.
After the battle on Ghost Mountain, Mao Xingchang was transferred to the forbidden area of the Han family that night after the head of the Han family was found to be wrong. He was occasionally released to stir up trouble in the other world and contribute to the grand ambition of the Han family's ancestor to unify the world of heavenly masters. At the same time, he encountered the protagonist from the side several times and revealed his true colors.
Mao Xingchang came here expecting the mission to fail this time. The success of the first mission was due to an accident. After being captured in the Han family's forbidden area, all he wanted to do was sit there and do nothing.
However...the seniors connected remotely and even gave us hands-on guidance!
In this case, if he still fails in his mission, he should really die to atone for his sin!!
That being said, he also has the determination, but -
[Brother Chu, help me!!!]
Chu Lu, who was in class, said: "..."
Because of the sudden sound, he exerted force with his hand, and the lead of the pencil broke, leaving a slightly longer tail next to the half-written stroke.
The teacher who was passing by saw this scene and stopped immediately.
This student, who was good in every way except for his poor health, was already very famous among the teachers. And because this child had fainted several times during class, the teachers who came to teach this class later couldn't help but pay more attention to him.
Chu Lu quietly declined the teacher's request, "Do you want to go to the lounge to rest for a while?" he asked, looking up with a good boy smile, but his originally rosy face had now turned pale.
Even so, the child still whispered, "Thank you teacher for your concern."
He paused for a moment, then added, "I'll just lie down for a while."
The pale-faced child whispered an apology with a guilty look on his face, and then he lay down on the table in the teacher's distressed and sighing eyes.
How could such a well-behaved and lovely child be in such poor health?
The teacher sighed inwardly, looked at the child twice more with concern, and even spoke in a lower voice.
After just two steps, the expression on his face suddenly changed, and he swung the book in his hand and mercilessly smashed it against the hairy head that was already pressed against the table under the cover of the upright textbook.
With a startle, he sat up straight and immediately acted as if to say, "I'm not asleep, I'm reading seriously." He waited until a figure slowly walked past him before he breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his shoulders.
As a result, when I looked up, I saw the figure lying down in front of me.
——!!!
The little boy with frizzy hair opened his eyes wide, and his round cheeks instantly became as red as a puffer fish.
I was jealous and envious, and I felt extremely jealous.
Why?! He also wants the privilege of sleeping in class!!!
——Little Zhamao, who had once tried to forge a medical record but failed, thought so.
The soul leaves the body.
Chu Lu’s current physical condition is more like “coma” than “sleeping”.
And his consciousness has been integrated into Mao Xingchang's body in this world, helping him solve the current dilemma.
Let’s use a more fashionable word to describe this behavior – “substitute playing”.
The Spacetime Bureau's new employee training had very systematic teaching courses. In that graduation transcript where the average grade was C, Mao Xingchang only got an F, which could only mean... he was really, really, really bad at fighting.
Even the training instructors who have handled countless new recruits have given up on this kind of person.
Just like Mao Xingchang's natural sensitivity to data logic, his lack of ability in frontal combat is a trait engraved in his soul, and it cannot be saved by a powerful character shell.
It's probably the extent that a punch can trip one's left foot and right foot and make oneself fall...
Not to mention fighting the enemy, it's rare for him not to hurt himself.
But his role this time is similar to that of the number one thug under the villain boss, and the key nodes of each mission are related to combat.
Chu Lu is not yet confident that he can do anything about the combat effectiveness that even the professional instructors in the company are helpless to deal with, but he cannot just sit there and watch his juniors fail in their missions, so he resorts to this kind of "substitute" behavior.
It was just that the coordination was not good at the beginning. When Mao Xingchang called him urgently, it was always at an extremely dangerous moment. Therefore, Chu Lu's hasty behavior was reflected in his body as a sudden coma. After several consecutive times, although the physical examination results were normal, he confirmed the rumor that he was in poor health.
Chu Lu originally wanted to find a way to clarify, but soon found that this reason was extremely convenient, so he gave up.
As for the guardian, although Han Lenian received a call from the teacher, he didn't know what to make up in his mind after hearing Chu Lu's explanations of "I'm in good health" and "because of some special reasons". Not only did he not doubt it, he even took the initiative to help cover up.
Although Chu Lu has found a reason, it is not a good idea to keep "playing on behalf of others" like this.
Although Chu Lu was quite dissatisfied with the old guy for saying nothing and trapping the newcomer into a mission world that was completely unsuitable for him, he also guessed that the other party's intention was to use this mission to make Mao Xingchang realize his shortcomings and find ways to make up for or solve them.
To be honest, Chu Lu did not quite agree with this simple and rough way of education, but Mao Xingchang's obvious shortcomings could not be ignored forever.
Chu Lu was finally inspired by the online games that Han Lenian suddenly became interested in recently.
Since it is difficult to control the limbs, then just treat the body as a game character and control it purely by operation. This is very difficult for most people, and even Chu Lu needs the assistance of the system. But for Mao Xingchang, who has uncoordinated limbs but is extremely sensitive to data and whose calculation speed is even comparable to that of the system, this is really the best solution. It is not an exaggeration to say that it opens the door to a new world.
——As expected, he is the legendary Senior Chu with a perfect mission record! He can even save a loser like him!
After being forced to endure a wave of excessive flattery, Chu Lu almost couldn't help but let the person go.
Without realizing it, he danced back and forth on the brink of life and death. After using this method, Mao Xingchang's fighting power increased greatly. Except for the first few times when he was forced to ask for help due to his unskilled operation, he was able to solve most of the situations by himself afterwards, and basically grew into a qualified boss fighter.
However, there are occasionally unexpected situations.
For example, because of the 100% mission completion rate, the villain boss made some wrong assessments of the strength of his thugs, and the enemies he faced became more and more troublesome, which made Mao Xingchang, who had just mastered new skills, a little overwhelmed. But with Chu Lu's help, there was no tragic overturn for a while.
…
…………
After this "substitute fight" was over, Chu Lu did not leave in a hurry. He frowned and looked around, and all he saw was white.
He controlled Mao Xingchang's body, which was named "Wu Chen" by the Han family's ancestor, and lowered his body. His twisted and deformed fingers fumbled on the ground for a while and picked up a small piece of... finger bone...
Mao·Out-of-body state·Recognizes what this thing is·Xing Chang:? !!
His voice trembled: "Chu Chu, Brother Chu?!!"
Then I looked at the white area next to me and realized what it was a little late. My whole soul was puffed up as if its hair had exploded.
——Help, help! ! !
Could this be the legendary "I sit beside a pile of bones"? !
Chu Lu pulled Mao Xingchang, who was so frightened that his soul was about to collapse, into his body, and looked down from a high vantage point.
It was exactly the place he expected.
After realizing this, he immediately urged Mao Xingchang to leave quickly.
In fact, there was no need for Chu Lu to remind him specifically. After knowing the actual material of this piece of white, Mao Xingchang didn't want to stay any longer. He almost wished he could grow wings and fly away.
…
There is something wrong with the head of the Han family.
Chu Lu had heard of this ruin of bones when he was still Li Shenglu. It was the site left behind by a Taoist priest who was good at controlling ghosts and monsters. Although it looked eerie, it had a suppressive effect on foreign ghosts and monsters because of the formation.
This is also why Mao Xingchang urgently asked for help just now.
——The character's attributes were suddenly reduced. Compared with the body's instinctive adaptability, Mao Xingchang had to recalculate the data and adjust it. This naturally took longer time, and it was normal that he couldn't adapt to it for a while.
But more importantly, due to the special nature of the materials it is made of, even though the Heavenly Master has passed away, the formation he left behind is still functioning, which means that if a spirit stays on this land for too long it will be assimilated.
Although Mao Xingchang's current character still has a physical body, its existence is more like resentment condensed into a physical entity, and is also bound by this land. In fact, because its core is formed by different ghosts devouring each other, it is even more unstable. If he stays there any longer, he may not be able to leave.
Think about the increasingly difficult tasks that Mao Xingchang has been tasked with during this period.
If the monster numbered "Wu Chen" is a knife in the hand of the head of the Han family, then this attitude of not caring about damage... always makes Chu Lu feel like "using the knife for the last time before throwing it away."
But this was not the case in the original plot. Even though the protagonist was finally defeated right under his nose, Wu Chen was still used as a weapon by the head of the Han family against the enemy.
Could it be that Mao Xingchang’s usual strength was too weak, so he was given up on early by the head of the Han family?
After all, looking at the number "Wu Chen", you can tell that the other party has created more than just this one strange creature.
These thoughts were just baseless guesses for now, and Chu Lu did not elaborate with Mao Xingchang, lest he cause unnecessary trouble just because of a thought. But it would not be good if he really had no defenses at all, so he thought for a moment and then said, "Be careful recently, and don't act if you can. If Han Li gives an order, contact me in advance."
In response to Chu Lu's explanation, Mao Xingchang habitually said "OK, OK, no problem" three times in a row.
But after saying this, he hesitated again, "I shouldn't have anything to do recently. I have basically completed my story missions. Next, I will wait for the 'Child of Destiny' to find me in the Han family's forbidden area."
Chu Lu is reserved about his optimism.
The description of the supporting characters in the fate line is not so detailed, and there are many things that can happen outside the plot. In most cases, the things that really lead to mission failure and plot collapse are events outside the nodes.
However, even if he reminds them now, it will probably not have any effect. After the newcomers have been beaten in a few missions, they will naturally understand.
Mao Xingchang obviously misunderstood Chu Lu's silence. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "The child of destiny in this world is your brother, Brother Chu, right?"
Then he suddenly realized something, "Brother Chu, don't worry, it's my turn to get beaten in this plot mission. I will go easy on him and won't really hurt him!!"
Chu Lu: "..."
“…………”
Several consecutive acts of "playing on behalf of others" seem to have given the younger generation some incorrect self-perception.
In short, it is -
System: [There is no b number. ]
System: [Pfft~ Hahahahahahaha… YT03’s host said he would not hurt the ‘Child of Destiny’ and that he would let him off… Hahahaha… I’m going to record this and play it back to the instructor in the training department. Hahahaha, he will definitely be moved to tears…]
Chu Lu: "..."
He decisively added a mute package to the system, and then said to Mao Xingchang: "Don't go easy on me, just take it seriously."
——By the way, get to know your true level.
Mao Xingchang:!!!
Brother Chu is... encouraging him?!
He said excitedly in a tone that was almost an oath: "Okay! I understand! I won't let you down!!!"
Chu Lu: "..."
Not necessarily.
