Chapter Twelve: The Ideal Life of a Salted Fish



Wow! After living for twenty years, I've only just realized that the ultimate enjoyment for a person is a good night's sleep. Why didn't I ever indulge in this feeling of rebirth before?

I've made up my mind. From now on, I'll go to bed early and get up early every day and be a person with a regular schedule. After all, there are no evil electronic products in this world to make people lose their minds!

Wu Yu, who had just woken up from a nap, started to let his mind wander again before he was fully awake. This was one of Wu Yu's old habits, because he believed that people often reveal their most primal thoughts when they are not under the control of reason.

The moment he wakes up in the morning is precisely the right time. At this time, a flash of inspiration comes to his mind. Whether he wants to buy a little gadget, eat something, or do something, Wu Yu is willing to spend a little time to complete it. And Wu Yu can often gain a day's worth of pleasure from this.

Well! The happiness of a salted fish is so simple and unpretentious.

Lying in bed again last night, Wu Yu thought about many things. After accepting reality, he also planned out his future life trajectory.

After following Jack back to his hometown, he would use his connections to find an easy and high-paying job. He also heard that Jack had a beautiful younger sister. It would be even better if he could be taken care of by this rich little girl. Then he would just live a life of leisure and wait to die, ending his life as a transmigrator with cheat codes.

The phrase "lacking ambition" perfectly describes Wu Yu. He's not going to take any risks. He's already had enough of these past few days of living a life of hardship. Isn't being a lazy bum better?

"Host, you've completely disgraced transmigrators! Have you ever seen a transmigrator as devoid of dreams as you? Even those who start with nothing but a dog and scavenge for all their equipment still forge their own path to dominance. Are you really willing to live a life of mediocrity?" A malicious system that was secretly reading Wu Yu's thoughts lamented in its heartfelt admonition.

"If you could become stronger just by breathing, then who wouldn't work hard? Sorry, your cheat system is too useless. Although showing off is my hobby, I will refuse if it takes too much effort." After silently replying to the system in his mind, Wu Yu felt that he had completely taken control of his body and began to get out of bed to change his clothes.

"What about immortality? You know, breaking through to the Saint level grants a lifespan of a thousand years, and with such a powerful system like mine, becoming a god is only natural. Don't you want to be immortal?" The system still wouldn't give up, continuing to tempt Wu Yu.

"I'm sorry, the only reason I'm still willing to live is because I don't want to die. You know, there's nothing in this world that I'd like to stay for, so if I die of old age someday, I won't refuse."

As Wu Yu answered, he adjusted his bangs in front of the mirror. His face paired with this Assassin's Creed-like cloak was indeed very handsome.

"What about power? What about beautiful women? The little princess I met yesterday was pretty enough, wasn't she? If you put in a little effort, she'll be yours, and you can have as many women like her as you want." The system seemed unwilling to give up and continued to tempt you.

"Sorry, anything can happen in dreams. I'm not the kind of trash driven by base desires. If I get too hot-tempered, I can borrow some money from Jack to go to a brothel. I think the average person in this world is pretty good-looking, so I'm sure I have my share of beauties."

With a casual reply, Wu Yu began to straighten his collar and the wrinkles on his clothes. Anyway, he was bored out of his mind all day and didn't mind spending more time on things he used to consider boring.

"My host! So what exactly do you want to do? Don't tell me you've already seen through the illusions of the world. You're only twenty years old. This kind of level is not something a greenhorn like you can achieve."

The system was getting impatient. It had never seen such an unyielding person before. Although it could read minds, a person's thoughts were too complicated and desires too numerous, so it couldn't determine what Wu Yu truly desired. You see, this kid had been lustful when he saw the princess yesterday, but today he was acting like a wise man again.

Wu Yu paused, staring at his reflection in the mirror for a long silence before finally saying, still utterly bewildered, "What do I really want? I don't know. I've always wanted to find something I can love for the rest of my life, but I've never found it before. I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to find it in this world?"

Wu Yu seemed unwilling to continue the conversation. After finishing speaking, he turned around and prepared to go out for breakfast, and the system, as he wished, chose to remain silent.

"Knock, knock, knock." Wu Yu ran to knock on Jack's door.

Not long after, the door opened and Jack, who was already fully dressed, came out of the room. Actually, Wu Yu had planned to ask Jack to book a double room yesterday, but Jack refused on the grounds that he did not want to invade Wu Yu's privacy. Sigh, this room fee will have to be added to the bill again, and he has to bother Jack again just to get a free breakfast. Doesn't Wu Yu have any pride?

Jack seemed to understand Wu Yu's meaning very well. Without even letting Wu Yu speak, he led him to the dining area, where a few people were eating. Although they were talking, they were all sticking together and each of them looked like they didn't want strangers to come near them.

Jack said that those who come to this place to stay in the hotel are usually adventurers, and they are often of a high level. Even those who are in a group are at least level three. Newbies simply cannot survive in this place. But this has nothing to do with Wu Yu. After he leaves in a few days, he may never come here again in his life.
