The Space-Time Bureau drew lots to determine the destinations of the taskers, and Tao Rui casually drew a quick-transmigration scumbag scenario. It required him to become the scumbag of various worlds and save those who were harmed by them before tragedy struck.
He did not stay at the Space-Time Bureau, but set off after making some simple preparations.
The process of traveling through time was like sleeping, and when Tao Rui regained consciousness he had already arrived in a new world.
He was standing by the counter of a jewelry store in the mall, next to a short-haired girl in a business suit, who had a bit of the currently popular androgynous beauty.
[Brother Rui, the new world has been successfully integrated. You can check the plot at any time.]
Tao Rui felt quite refreshed when he heard the system's notification. When he entered the previous world, he was still a complete newbie. Without points, he couldn't buy cheat codes, so he could only complete quests empty-handed. As a result, he landed on the incredibly difficult King of Lottery draw in his first world—the Cultivation World.
He climbed up from a small fry to the pinnacle of the cultivation world, relying solely on his own efforts, and it was truly a life-or-death experience.
But in the end, he unexpectedly exceeded his mission and earned a large amount of points. The currency of the Space-Time Bureau is points. Before this time of crossing, he directly bought himself a top-level system.
He set the system to brother mode. The voice and words were warm and intimate, making people feel very comfortable. He didn't know how many worlds he would have to travel through in the future, but with the system by his side, at least he wouldn't be alone.
He flipped through the jewelry sample album in front of him, pretending to choose something, while silently checking the plot.
He is also called Tao Rui in this world. This is the rule set by the Space-Time Bureau to facilitate their substitution. Each tasker will only be reincarnated into the body of a person with the same name.
The original owner was thirty years old and worked as an executive at the best venture capital company in City A. He had a bright future and was a handsome, rich and successful man.
His wife, Du Yawen, is the same age as him and is a kindergarten teacher. They have been married for three years and have a one-year-old daughter. To outsiders, their life seems very warm and happy.
But in reality, the original owner and his wife met through a blind date and got married because they felt the conditions were right. After marriage, the original owner was too busy with work and they had no time to cultivate their relationship.
During the time when Du Yawen was pregnant, in confinement, and busy with becoming a new mother, an intern came into the original owner's company. She was the girl standing next to Tao Rui now, Meng Hui.
Meng Hui had great potential and excelled at the company, earning her the opportunity to learn from the original owner. She had been working on projects with him for nearly a year. They discussed projects together, worked overtime together, traveled together, overcame difficulties and devoured solutions together, and often shared meals.
The original owner spent more time with Meng Hui in this year than he had with his wife in the three years they had been married.
The original owner admired Meng Hui, and Meng Hui also admired the original owner. It wasn't clear when the two of them started to treat each other like master and apprentice. The original owner taught her all the principles of the workplace, never letting her suffer any setbacks, and was very attentive to her. However, Meng Hui was a tomboy, so no one thought there was any ambiguity between them.
So when Du Yawen accused the original owner and Meng Hui of having an unclear relationship, everyone thought she was being unreasonable.
But in reality, the original owner and Meng Hui had been together day and night, and their relationship had indeed grown increasingly ambiguous. This ambiguity flowed between the two of them, and only they knew about it. They firmly denied it, so of course others had no way of confirming it.
Du Yawen received little care from her pregnancy to delivery, which left her feeling down. Coupled with the precipitous drop in hormone levels during childbirth, she developed postpartum depression.
She noticed the ambiguity between the original owner and Meng Hui, began to guard against Meng Hui, and tried hard to save the marriage, but the original owner was annoyed, and other people also found her incomprehensible. They all felt sorry for Meng Hui and thought Du Yawen was an ignorant jealous person. No one noticed that she was suffering from depression.
The original owner even resorted to the excuse that the innocent were innocent, and she increasingly hung out with Meng Hui. This caused Du Yawen's depression to worsen, forcing her to take medication, which had various side effects. The side effects left her mentally hazy, and Du Yawen nearly dropped her daughter while caring for her. Terrified, she immediately quit her job to focus on treatment, devoting all her attention to her daughter.
Once she took her child to attend a celebration party held by the original owner's company. Meng Hui took the initiative to show her willingness to help her and kept following her, but she ignored her until the child was hungry and she wanted to make milk powder for the child. Seeing that others were drinking, she let Meng Hui help her watch the child for a few minutes. As a result, the child disappeared, and Meng Hui was talking and laughing with her classmates on the phone not far away!
She looked for the child everywhere like crazy and checked the surveillance, but the angle in the restaurant was just wrong and everyone was wearing coats in winter, and some people were carrying bags. The surveillance could not tell who hid the child, and there was no clue at all.
Du Yawen grabbed Meng Hui and believed that she did it on purpose, but Meng Hui said that she did not help to look after the child at all. She said that she received a call from a classmate and went to the side to answer the phone with her back to them. She had no idea when Du Yawen left the child or when the child was lost.
Meng Hui lied, but everyone believed her because they had seen her before. Meng Hui wanted to help, but Du Yawen ignored her. Du Yawen almost dropped the child before, so it was not surprising that she lost the child this time.
Du Yawen's depression was already severe, and the fact she couldn't find her child after a long search was the final straw. She no longer cared about the world and no one, so she committed suicide.
But this had no impact on anyone else. To outsiders, the original owner hadn't cheated, and Meng Hui hadn't done anything wrong. It was Du Yawen who was causing all the trouble. She was suspicious, she couldn't take good care of the child, she shirked responsibility when the child was lost, and when she couldn't find the child, she became depressed and committed suicide... Everything was her own fault.
Years passed, and these events faded. The original owner was promoted to partner, and Meng Hui became a senior executive. They married with everyone's unanimous blessing, becoming known as the perfect pair and soulmates. No one mentioned Du Yawen anymore, and the lost child became a scar, never to be opened. Du Yawen's parents died one after another, depressed and unhappy. All of this tragedy stemmed from the original owner's emotional infidelity.
When Tao Rui arrived, the original owner and Meng Hui had already had a vaguely ambiguous relationship. This time they bought jewelry together because they had negotiated a deal with a client. Meng Hui jokingly suggested that she should be rewarded. The original owner took her to buy jewelry, saying it was a reward from a master to his apprentice.
It was during this time that Du Yawen happened to come shopping with her friends. Seeing the atmosphere between them in private, she began to suspect her husband of having an affair, which gradually aggravated her postpartum depression.
Tao Rui felt like the original owner's soul was no longer in his body, so he asked curiously, "Where did that scumbag go? Was he reincarnated? That's a bit of a bargain for him, isn't it?"
[Brother Rui, the souls of scumbags are serving their sentences in the illusion prison of the Space-Time Bureau, and the punishment is severe.
For example, if Du Yawen committed suicide after being depressed for several years, the scumbag who hurt her would enter Du Yawen's role in the illusion. Although he knew who he was, he inevitably committed suicide after being depressed for several years. This would be repeated ten times, and he would truly feel Du Yawen's pain.
If his soul cannot bear such stimulation, it will be shattered. If it still exists after being punished ten times, it can be reincarnated.
Tao Rui raised an eyebrow in satisfaction. He had cleaned up the scumbag's mess, so it would be unfair for him to enjoy himself. But since the scumbag was going to be tortured in the illusion prison, he thought this arrangement was very reasonable.
I don’t know if that scumbag can withstand the torture ten times. If he can’t bear it, it would be nice if he were to die.
Tao Rui understood the situation and adjusted himself instantly. Coincidentally, as he turned sideways, he caught a glimpse of Du Yawen and her friend approaching, clearly having seen him.
At the same time, Meng Hui put on a pair of diamond earrings, turned to Tao Rui and said with a smile: "Master, do you think this looks good?"
Tao Rui glanced at Meng Hui and said perfunctorily, "It's okay." Then he stood up and took two steps to the side, putting some distance between them. He pointed to a gorgeous heart-shaped diamond necklace and said to the teller, "Please let me see this necklace. It seems to be very suitable for my wife."
The teller took out two necklaces at the same time. In addition to the heart-shaped diamond necklace, she also took out a star diamond necklace and introduced it: "This star diamond necklace is more suitable for your wife. Would you like to compare them?"
The teller placed the necklace between them, apparently mistaking them for a couple.
Tao Rui immediately explained, "You misunderstood. She is my colleague. My wife has a gentle and graceful appearance, and this heart-shaped figure is more suitable for her."
He looked down at the necklace. Meng Hui's smile beside him was a little unnatural. She grumbled in a concealed manner, "Master, you came here to buy me a reward. Aren't you too careless?"
Tao Rui said without even looking up, "I'm just helping you with the reimbursement. I don't understand this kind of thing, so why would I care?"
"Then why are you still picking among these sisters-in-law? Aren't you afraid that she won't like it?"
"You little kid don't understand. My wife likes whatever I give her. It's a sign of my interest." Tao Rui raised the corners of his mouth slightly as he spoke, and it was obvious that he had a very good relationship with his wife.
When Du Yawen and her friend came over, she happened to hear these two sentences, which made her heart drop a little. She smiled and called out, "Tao Rui, why are you here?"
Tao Rui turned around, a look of surprise on his face, as if he had just seen her. "Meng Hui and I just met with a client and we secured a project, so I'm giving her a reward. By the way," he handed the necklace to Du Yawen, "I just picked it out for you. Do you like it?"
Du Yawen saw the necklace. It was beautiful, with large diamonds and ornate trimmings. It was expensive. But how should I put it? It had a bit of a straight-male aesthetic, like the Barbie pink lipstick—it was dreamy and hard to match.
"Hmm..." Du Yawen was a little hesitant after hearing what Tao Rui said. If she said she didn't like it, would it be a slap in Tao Rui's face? After all, Tao Rui had just said that she would like anything he gave her.
Du Yawen's friend immediately spoke up for her, "Tao Rui, this necklace is so gorgeous, but you don't usually have the chance to wear it. It's better to choose a simple one. It's classic and easy to match. Luckily I came across it today, otherwise you would have wasted your money."
She took a look at the price tag and exclaimed, "Over 60,000? It seems you really made a lot this time. No wonder you gave bonuses to your colleagues."
The topic naturally turned back to Meng Hui. Tao Rui knew that she wanted to help Du Yawen test the waters. After all, anyone who saw the scene just now would misunderstand. How could one personally accompany a subordinate to pick out jewelry when giving him a reward?
Before Tao Rui could say anything, Meng Hui interrupted him and said with a smile, "This is truly the biggest deal I've negotiated since joining the company. Master is truly amazing. The way he negotiated with people just now was absolutely amazing. I guarantee that everyone who sees him will idolize him!"
Meng Hui's eyes seemed to be shining, and the good side of Tao Rui that she had seen was exactly what Du Yawen had never seen and would never have the chance to see. Du Yawen felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn't describe what it was.
Meng Hui suddenly stopped talking and waved her hand, saying, "Let's not talk about work anymore. Sisters-in-law, please help me pick out some earrings. Although Master is a great negotiator, his aesthetic taste in jewelry is hard to describe."
This tone is as green tea as it can be.
