Chapter 06

Fu Xiuning had seen the second-level punishment in action, but it was rare, only nine times in five years.

Those hosts would collapse or faint from the pain, and this was the first time someone wanted to use it to wake up.

He didn't want to miss the show, so he said to Lin Kecheng, "Aren't you going to order food?"

Lin Kecheng went to the front desk with interest.

The system also came back to its senses.

"Isn't the second-level punishment useless to you?" it said, "You didn't react last time."

Xing Shi said, "You can still feel the pain, but the time is too short. This time it will be longer."

The system said, "The limit is only 5 seconds."

Because when the pain reaches a certain level, every second is extremely long, and 5 seconds is enough to be unforgettable.

Xing Shi said: "Then come a few more times."

The system felt as if it was not discussing the second-level punishment that terrified countless hosts, but ordering food.

It was speechless and choked: "...This is against the rules, including using it to wake up from a nap."

Xingshi said: "It is against the rules. What is the purpose of your second-level punishment? It is to allow the host to conquer Fu Xiuning. I now want a second-level punishment to conquer him, is there anything wrong with it?"

"..." The system actually thought it made sense, "Aren't you quite sober?"

Xingshi said: "I have analyzed this before, so is it okay? If not, I'm not sure how it will work today."

The system hesitated for a while, and seeing that Lin Kecheng was about to come back, it compromised: "Okay, you get ready, countdown 3 seconds."

Fu Xiuning's screen was filled with short news, which could be finished reading at any time.

He put his phone on the table and looked across the way: "Are you adaptable to the company?"

The second level punishment came as expected with these words, and the energy flow instantly overflowed throughout his body.

The blood on Xingshi's face faded a bit, but his sitting posture did not change at all, and his tone was the same as before: "It's not bad."

Fu Xiuning observed his condition and was surprised how the system's punishment seemed to be compromised on him, and asked: "If you travel frequently to school and work, can you keep up with your progress?" "

Come on ? " Xingshi said, "Try it again." The system said, "No." Xingshi heard Fu Xiuning ask him "Where are you from?" He replied, "City C," and then reasoned with the system, "It's already been opened once, what's the big deal about it again?" The system said, "No means no, the interval between the two second-level punishments is too short, I have to write a statement of the situation, and the main system will definitely not recognize the reason of waking up and taking a nap, and I will be punished." Xingshi regretted it, but fortunately he got the answer he wanted. He felt familiar last time, but he was running wildly at the time, the punishment time was too short, and he had just crossed over, and his soul seemed to be floating in another world, so he was worried that it was an illusion. It happened again today, and he finally confirmed that this was the same as the magic source poisoning. In the magic world, everyone has a magic core, which generates magic sources and then forms various magics. There is a rare type of magician whose magic sources are poisonous. If you are unfortunately hit by their magic, your own magic source will be infected, and it will spread everywhere, causing severe pain all over your body - just like the second-level punishment. Xingshi's magic core is special. It can not only overflow the magic source to form elemental magic like an orthodox magician, but also operate in reverse and absorb other magic sources for its own use. When his magic source was infected, he directly sucked out the poison source in his body and then transformed it. He is very familiar with this process. However, he has changed his body now, and he doesn't know if it still works. But no matter what, this provides him with a research idea for dismantling the system. He was in a good mood and said cordially, "Boss." Fu Xiuning looked at him and said, "Hmm?" Xingshi unlocked his phone, operated it and moved forward, "Can I add you as a friend?" Fu Xiuning scanned his QR code and sent the application. Xingshi passed it in seconds and was satisfied. With "Eraser" around, he shouldn't get too upset with the system. He had to use Fu Xiuning as an excuse to get a second-level punishment, and they would have to keep in touch in the future. This was the scene Lin Kecheng saw when he came back, and he joked, "We are from the same company and are alumni, so why did you add each other as friends?" Xingshi explained, "We don't see each other normally, so we got the chance today." Lin Kecheng smiled and said, "That's it." He noticed that Fu Xiuning's gaze turned to him, and said, "Work is important, you guys chat, I won't disturb you." Before leaving, he took care of Xingshi, "Our senior is too busy, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me and I'll help you." Xingshi nodded obediently, "Thank you, senior." Lin Kecheng said "you're welcome" and went to another seat. His system complained: "What kind of important work can a boss and a newly signed intern talk about?" Lin Kecheng said: "No matter if it's an excuse or not, I can't stay here anymore. Didn't you see Fu Xiuning looking over here? I have to learn something." The system also understood this truth and said: "He will be a senior in the second half of the year. Seniors have fewer classes, so it's even harder to see him. You have to hurry up. You can't really wait until graduation to join his company and then climb up little by little. That's too slow." Lin Kecheng said "hmm", picked up the sign on the table, took a photo of the restaurant's logo and posted it to his Moments, editing the text to say that the meal was late, and if he was late for class, please help cover it up. Fu Xiuning had found all the fun in Lin Kecheng, and by comparison, the new arrival was more worth studying. He asked, "Have you thought about which direction you want to develop in the future?" Xing Shi said, "I'll follow the company's arrangements." Fu Xiu Ning said, "The company will consider your personal wishes. Do you have any ideas of your own?" Xing Shi said, "Not yet." Fu Xiu Ning nodded, chatted about something else casually, and evaluated him in his heart.

He likes to eat, is calm in emergencies, has a good brain, and seems to have a good temper, but referring to his performance when he was bound by the system that day, he is a strong-willed person who will not tolerate any hardship.

And he seems to be immune to some of the system's punishments, for unknown reasons.

Xingshi is also evaluating this target of the strategy.

It is certain that he has a bad personality, but he likes to pretend to be "kind" and does not act like a boss.

Although he asked him a lot of questions, they all seemed to be casually mentioned without any deep meaning. In addition to tormenting him today, there is no other purpose for the time being.

The two chatted for a while, and the seafood porridge was finally cooked.

The clay pot was placed in the middle of the table. It was filled with plenty of ingredients and looked delicious.

Fu Xiuning scooped a bowl, and the conversation rang in his ears again.

Lin Kecheng's system said, "Don't let this psychopath come over, he..."

It realized something as it spoke, "You did it on purpose! You deliberately took the photo of Fu Xiuning a little closer when you took the photo of the sign so that Shao Jianbai would come over!"

Lin Kecheng said, "I was just careless."

The system didn't listen, "I was wondering why you kept in contact with Shao Jianbai, and even used the excuse of helping Fu Xiuning resolve a potential crisis, but he became more and more psychotic. It turns out that you were deliberately provoking him so that he would be interested in Fu Xiuning. Ning took action! I said it before, if Fu Xiuning dies, we will all be buried with him!"

Lin Kecheng said: "Then don't let him die, I will block it for him."

The system went crazy: "What if you die?"

Lin Kecheng said: "Calculate his attack route through a person's habits and the surrounding environment, and provide positions and methods to avoid vital points. Don't you know how difficult Fu Xiuning is? Do you think it will work if you offer him a life-saving favor?"

The system was silent.

Lin Kecheng said: "Instead of using a conventional strategy, it is better to take a gamble. When I posted on WeChat Moments, I was not sure that Shao Jianbai could see it. I won this round. Another round?"

The system spoke after a few seconds: "Okay."

Fu Xiuning listened to them discussing the details, and his heart was calm.

Some hosts are like Xingshi, whose souls traveled through time and space. The other part are indigenous people, who were selected and bound by the system.

Lin Kecheng belongs to the latter. He used to be very introverted and a transparent passerby. After being bound by the system, he thought he was the chosen one. From then on, he was reborn and became the versatile person he is today.

Once the relationship between people and the world changes from the perspective of participants to that of players from above, new doors will be opened.

Flowers, applause, and admiration... Lin Kecheng has come all the way to where he is today with the help of the system. It's like playing games and completing tasks. Everyone can be used and sacrificed. The bottom line is getting lower and lower, and people will slowly lose their respect for life.

Fu Xiuning has seen many people like this, so he is not surprised at all.

He glanced at the opposite side.

He has also seen many people who go against the system. Xingshi is not the first, and he will not be the last. No matter how they acted at first, they would change their faces later.

This kid is doing it with ease now, and who knows what he will become in the future.

[Ding Di]

[Current Favorability Value: -9]

Xingshi was tempted by the fragrance and scooped a spoonful of porridge.

He just took a sip when he heard the prompt sound and asked, "Why?"

The system had been paying attention to Fu Xiuning and immediately scolded him, "Because you drank his porridge!"

Xingshi said, "...It's a problem. One person can't finish this amount. What's wrong with me drinking two sips? I scooped it into the bowl with a spoon, not directly from the casserole."

The system was unhappy: "Put it down quickly, aren't you full? Don't eat it!"

Xingshi said nothing, picked up the spoon and scooped it into the bowl again.

System: "!"

Xingshi also picked some seafood, then put it back, then took a sip of porridge and stared at the opposite side.

The system didn't bother to scold him, and looked at Fu Xiuning with trepidation.

Xingshi didn't hear any change in the favorability value, and looked up again after eating a bite of seafood.

The system continued to stare with him.

Fu Xiuning didn't ignore him this time, and looked up: "What's the matter?" Xingshi

raised his bowl: "I'll drink a little too, don't you mind?"

Fu Xiuning said: "You're the guest, so please do as you please."

Xingshi scolded the system: "Look, he is more reasonable than you."

The system collapsed: "Then why did he lose points again!"

Xingshi thought for a while: "Maybe he has been with me for a long time, and he doesn't like me anymore. Being too handsome is also a burden, alas."

The system wanted to cry: "Then you think of a way!"

Xingshi said: "I'll try."

After a meal, the favorability value was still -9.

Xingshi scanned the code to pay the bill, and walked out with Fu Xiuning. He saw a boy coming in through the door.

It was a habit formed in the high-risk environment that he would take a look at any new living creatures around him.

And he found the problem at this glance.

The boy's expression was tense, with a resolute look in his eyes. He grasped his sleeve with his left hand, palm facing inward.

Judging from Xingshi's experience, there was probably a knife hidden inside. When

Lin Kecheng saw Shao Jianbai appear, he immediately stepped forward quickly.

While listening to Lin Kecheng's system analysis path, Fu Xiuning was thinking about how to send Lin Kecheng to the west.

The three people met in the blink of an eye.

Lin Kecheng and Fu Xiuning saw Shao Jianbai showing his knife and reacted at the same time.

The former was shocked and quickly blocked in front of Fu Xiuning. The latter had a serious expression, and dragged Lin Kecheng to the side. It seemed that he was protecting him, but in fact, he wanted Shao Jianbai to hit him right.

However, the next moment, their eyes blurred, and Shao Jianbai was no longer in the original position.

Disarm, capture, knock down... Xingshi pressed the man to the ground to the accompaniment of "Senior, Be Careful" and solved it easily.

Fu Xiuning: "..."

Lin Kecheng: "???"

Xingshi looked up at the two people in front of him.

Fu Xiuning and Lin Kecheng also looked at him while maintaining the posture of making trouble.

The two sides looked at each other silently for a few seconds.

Xing Shi said: "Don't just stand there, call the police."
