Chapter 30
The system was scared all night, but today when it heard the prompt, it was completely fine. ^
At the same time, it remembered the 2 points from yesterday, and was full of energy: "You're right, there's nothing scary about our faces!"
"You were the first one to rush in to save him yesterday, and you scolded Lin Kecheng for him, and you leaned on him, so he got 2 points!" It said happily, "See, it's different when you figure it out. When you saved him before, he didn't get any points!"
"Our group was gloomy yesterday, and the system was wondering if anyone could succeed in the strategy. Of course, there was someone, and that was us, hahaha!"
Fu Xiuning pretended not to hear anything, maintained a smiling expression, and continued what he wanted to say: "No need, make more friends outside, so you don't get bored on weekdays."
The system quickly muted the sound so as not to disturb their chat.
Xingshi looked at the person opposite him silently, thinking that your favorability value is not expressed in this way.
But Fu Xiuning has the ability to pretend that nothing happened.
He picked up the shrimp in the bowl and put it into his mouth. After eating, he gently said, "Don't look at me, concentrate on your meal, and train well in the afternoon."
Xingshi secretly said okay.
He rationally knew that he couldn't flirt blindly, but he couldn't suppress his desire to make trouble, so he asked, "Am I still your dear brother?"
Fu Xiuning said in a caring tone: "It's because I love you that I want to let you go out and grow up."
Xingshi said "Okay", and calmed down, playing with his mobile phone while eating.
Fu Xiuning naturally didn't need his food, and was going to say hello to the restaurant after eating and add him in.
As a result, the next moment, Xingshi handed the phone to him. He lowered his eyes and saw a photo of him wearing cat ears.

Fu Xiuning: "..."
He felt that he should not have a conscience and looked at the opposite side silently.
Xingshi looked innocent: "This is what I took before. Does it look good?"
Fu Xiuning stared at him for two seconds and praised with a smile: "It looks good. If you wear this, you can come to have dinner with me every day."
Xingshi finished the job and took back the phone with satisfaction: "No, I decided to go out and grow up."
The two of them ended this round of topics tacitly.
Xingshi didn't ask about the "business" until they finished their meal.
Fu Xiuning dared to come to work with finger marks on his neck, so he didn't care what others said about him.
Xingshi had already guessed this, and seeing that he really didn't care, he nodded and prepared to go with him.
Fu Xiuning glanced at him, and finally added his name to the dining area here, so that he could come here at any time.
Xingshi was immediately moved: "Brother, you are so nice."
Fu Xiuning said "hmm", but did not take the opportunity to teach him to be honest in the future, because he saw it and couldn't be relied on.
Xingshi followed him out of the restaurant and got off the elevator on the third floor.
Most of the trainees had finished eating and basically stayed in the leisure area. When they saw him come back, they all looked at him.
Xingshi found a seat and sat down, and narrated the whole thing straight to the point: Lin Kecheng wanted to enter the entertainment industry and schemed against the boss. The boss confronted him, and he was forced to be speechless, so he suddenly attacked and hurt people.
The trainees thought of many possibilities, but they never expected that the other person was someone they knew. They were all shocked.
They knew Lin Kecheng because of a school anniversary and often chatted in the group. They had been familiar with each other for a long time. They had no idea that the other party was such a person. He killed people after being exposed. It was too unexpected!
Yu Yi looked a little confused: "Then...what is Senior Lin like now?"
Xing Shi said: "He was arrested."
Everyone sighed for a while, and couldn't help but recall Lin Kecheng's performance in the group, trying to find some clues.
Feng Zifan gradually remembered something, and when no one was around, he asked, "The last time Gu Zheng and his friends plotted against you, they read the message Lin Kecheng sent. Did he do it on purpose?"
Xing Shi said, "Well, I'm close to the boss, and he doesn't like me."
Feng Zifan was simply amazed: "What kind of person is that!"
Gu Zheng and his roommates also recalled that when they plotted against Xing Shi, they thought they were at the first level, but they didn't expect that there was a pusher behind them. They were foolish and bewildered, and they were used as guns by others. They couldn't help but regret it again.
The school was the place that was most shocked by the Lin Kecheng incident.
The two people involved were very famous, especially Fu Xiuning, who had three incidents in the first half of this year.
First, he was entangled with a girl with an extreme personality, and they were both in a car accident. Then, he was assassinated by the girl's pursuer in revenge. Now he was plotted and hurt by his former subordinates. Thinking about the various events he encountered last year... This physique is really something. They all hope that Fu Xiuning can go to the temple to pray.
Xingshi heard his classmates discussing this matter, and curiously flipped through the group message, and happened to see this sentence.
He chuckled and turned off the screen, thinking that it would be useless to pray, and just dismantle the main system.
On the other hand, Fu Xiuning was reminded by his classmates that he could try metaphysics, and similar words flashed through his mind.
However, before the two college students found an opportunity to discuss the next countermeasures, they ushered in the final exam week. For a while, all conspiracies and plots had to give way to the exams.
Although Xingshi couldn't remember what happened before the time travel, he still remembered some common sense. Unfortunately, after staying in the alien world for several years, he had basically forgotten all the knowledge-oriented content.
He had to learn math, physics and chemistry for his major. At first, looking at this pile of textbooks was like reading a book of heaven. Fortunately, in the few months since he came back, as he gradually came into contact with them, the knowledge points in his mind were slowly taking shape, and he could see a little possibility of passing the exam.
In comparison, English was really despairing.
Along with the exam week came the CET-6.
He used to be a top student and had passed the CET-4 in the first semester of his freshman year. Everyone in his dormitory also passed it. This semester, three of his roommates signed up for the CET-6, so he followed the crowd and signed up.
Now that the exam is approaching, the only struggle he can make is to open the vocabulary book and start memorizing from abandon.
Fu Xiuning also took an exam recently.
He did not go to his own study, but moved a chair to the long table in the living room, sat opposite Xingshi, and reviewed leisurely while watching a returnee from another world struggling with the textbooks of various subjects. He had a lot of fun watching the little bastard who was always at ease frowning.
Xingshi had been given 3 points by him in the past few days. He knew that he was just watching the show, but he had no time to think about it. He focused all his attention on reviewing.
The system felt a little distressed when it saw that he shortened his morning jogging time, went to bed late every day, and studied whenever he had time during the day.
Seeing him yawning over the vocabulary book, it advised: "Why don't you go to sleep? You've been sleeping too little recently, so go to bed early today and get some energy. If you really can't do it, I'll tell you the answers and I won't let you fail."
Xingshi said: "No, I want to take the test myself."
The system said: "Why bother?"
Xingshi said: "No."
The system stopped persuading.
Fu Xiuning finished reading the review materials and was about to go back to his room. When he looked up, he saw him sleeping on the table.
He was about to wake him up when he heard a low murmur: "abandon..."
His outstretched hand stopped in the air. He looked at the head in front of him and couldn't help laughing. So after memorizing for several days, he's still on abandon?
[Ding Di]
[Current Favorability Value: 18]
Xingshi suddenly opened his eyes.
The system hastily reminded him: "Wake up, don't let yourself get lost in sleep and ask Fu Xiuning why he gave you a higher favorability score."
Xingshi said: "I know."
Fu Xiuning saw him looking up, still a little sleepy, and smiled: "Go back to your room if you're sleepy."
Xingshi rubbed his face, silently looked at the vocabulary book on the table, and decided to give up.
The next afternoon was the Level 6 exam, and he only memorized two pages of vocabulary, so he took these two pages of reserve into the exam room.
The entire exam was based on eye contact, and he chose whichever option he liked. Xingshi finished the exam in a shabby manner, left the exam room, found a quiet place to sit down, and lay paralyzed.
The system said, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Xingshi closed his eyes and slumped on the bench: "Take a break."
The system said, "Then find a shade under a tree."
Before Xingshi could answer, he keenly noticed someone approaching. There were few people here, and he was not sure whether the other party was passing by or came to ask him for WeChat to chat, so he opened his eyes and looked over.
He was a very thin boy, wearing a light-colored T-shirt and jeans, a duckbill cap and a mask, and he didn't feel hot.
The two people's eyes met in the air, and the boy pulled down his mask, revealing a handsome and clean face. It was Yu Shu, who had met him once.
He smiled and said, "I felt like you from a distance, but I didn't expect it to be true. What a coincidence, long time no see."
Xingshi immediately perked up.
Yu Shu's identity was previously suspected by them in the group, so he had been living a low profile, just being a star, and the crew didn't come to look for him even after the show was finished.
It took so long, and the system was offline in the middle to divert everyone's attention, until today to create a chance encounter.
He stood up in surprise and asked knowingly: "Brother Yu? Why are you here?"
Yu Shu smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I've dreamed of going to Z University since I was a child. Unfortunately, I'm a poor student and I'll never have a chance in this life. I happened to pass by today and I suddenly wanted to come in and take a look, just to make my dream come true."
He looked at the schoolbag on the chair and said in surprise: "You are not a student here, are you?"
Xing Shi said: "Yes."
Yu Shu looked envious: "You are worthy of being the boss's younger brother. You are a top student like him. But you got admitted to Z University, why are you an intern?"
Xing Shi said: "Hot Love."
Yu Shu nodded in agreement: "Yes, with your conditions, it would be a pity if
you don't make your debut." He asked: "I just saw many students coming out of the teaching building, holding transparent file bags in their hands. Did you have an exam today?"
Xingshi said: "CET-6."
Yu Shu said: "How did you do in the exam?"
Xingshi thought to himself that you really talked about things that were out of the ordinary, and sighed: "Not very good, I probably won't pass."
Yu Shu comforted him: "It's okay, if you don't do well this time, there's always next time. How about being a tour guide for me? Walking around is just a way to relax." Xingshi
agreed and got up with his schoolbag.
The system didn't know what he was going to do, so it advised him in advance: "Lin Kecheng is out, no one knows you are the host, you must not jump out again this time. If you form an alliance, the other party will definitely look at the favorability value, and then it will be bad."
Xingshi said: "I know what I am doing."
The system prayed that he was telling the truth and watched them walk around the campus with trepidation.
Xingshi found a must-see attraction at Z University and took everyone there for a walk.
It was dinner time, and Yu Shu pretended to take two photos, then said he was hungry and wanted to treat him to a meal.
Xingshi politely declined: "No, Brother Yu, I have to go back."
Yu Shu jokingly said: "No, you can't be my tour guide for free. If the boss knows that I'm exploiting his brother, won't he teach me a lesson?" Xingshi said:
"I haven't been here for long. I have a dinner appointment with someone. I really don't have time today. I appreciate your kindness."
Yu Shu knew that this was not the truth, but he did not insist. He smiled and said: "Okay, I'll make it up to you next time when I'm free. You can't put it off anymore."
Xingshi said yes obediently, said goodbye to him, and turned to go to the cafeteria.
The system was shocked: "You actually refused to eat?"
Xing Shi said: "Things that are too easy to get are not worth much. With my identity, I have to tell him that it is not easy to approach me, so that he will pay attention to me later."
He said with some curiosity: "Do you think he is an aboriginal or a time traveler?"
They have read Yu Shu's information and found that his personality changed more than a year ago, but Lin Kecheng, as an aboriginal, has also changed his personality, so this point is not of reference value.
The system said: "Unless his personality changes too much, it is difficult to guess."
"But one thing is certain," it said, "Although we don't know the identities of the other hosts, we know that the proportion of hosts who have traveled through time is large. The number of hosts in each batch is basically maintained at about 6 people. The ratio of travelers to natives is at least 1:1, but this situation is rare. Most of the time it is higher, such as 2:1 or even 5:1."
In other words, of the five remaining hosts, except Xingshi, whose identity is known as a traveler, at least two are travelers.
Xingshi was surprised: "Where did your main system get so many people?"
The system said: "I don't know either."
Xingshi just asked casually, not expecting it to know the answer. ●
He arrived at the cafeteria slowly and ordered a bowl of mixed noodles. Halfway through the meal, he suddenly remembered something: "I remember you said before that in order for the system to unbind, either the attack was successful or the host died. Lin Kecheng is an aboriginal, and he is not dead. What would happen if it was replaced by a host who traveled through time?"
The system said: "He will die."
It realized that it was not clear, and added: "I mean this body will die."
It patiently explained.
The system is not a product of this world, and the host who traveled through time is also not.
Each world has its own operating rules. Since the main system brought the host in, it will be responsible for the aftermath. Therefore, if the attack on the host who traveled through time fails, the system needs to take the host's soul with it when it leaves.
On the other hand, the indigenous people don't need to be killed. They are originally from this world. We only need to clear their memories and ensure that the secrets of the system are not exposed. Forcibly erasing them would waste energy and is unnecessary.
Xing Shi paused slightly while holding the chopsticks.
He remembered that the system also said that the soul is an energy body. So does this so-called "taking away" really mean taking the soul with you, or forcibly absorbing all the soul energy of the host before leaving?
He suppressed his doubts and asked, "If the host who traveled through succeeded in the strategy, he would have to leave in the end?"
The system said, "It depends on the host's own choice. If the strategy is successful, you will get the final grand prize, which is included in the reward. If you choose to stay, the main system will realize the host's wish."
It said happily, "So if you change to a love line in the future, you don't have to worry about separating from Fu Xiuning."
Xingshi said "Oh" and went to the library after dinner.
He still has a lot of things he doesn't know, and recently he often reviews with the top students in the class.
But he doesn't want to bother them all the time, so he slowly collects a few questions and asks them at the same time, and then buys them some milk tea from time to time as a thank you.
Fu Xiuning went to the library one time and happened to see him carrying milk tea and giving it to people one by one. One of the 1 points was added in this way. Xingshi found it difficult to convince himself that the other party was not gloating.
After the Level 6 exam, they entered the official examination period.
Xingshi's sleep time was compressed again. He finished the last subject with a heavy head and finally got relief. Although he didn't know if he would fail the course, at least he could relax for a while.
He threw the stationery into his schoolbag and carried it to the dormitory.
Since becoming an intern, he rarely lived in the school. Later, he moved to Fu Xiuning's house and never came back to live there.
The second half of the school year will be his sophomore year, so he took the time to check out of the dormitory. Now he has to move all his things out at once.
This was easy. He left all the accommodation and daily necessities issued by the school to his roommates, and the rest could be taken care of with a suitcase and a backpack.
When he cleaned the drawer, he found a cufflink in the innermost corner and picked it up to examine it.
The material was unclear, and it didn't look expensive. It was a bit dark, like... coagulated blood.
He called the system: "Where did this come from?"
The system flipped through the data: "It seems that the original owner saved a person who was in a car accident, and this is the thing on the other person."
Xingshi knew that he was the original owner, and he had read the data. It was all a brief description of life in words, and some events were recorded. However, there were too many events in the past ten years, and he didn't remember a few of them. He asked: "Who did you save, and why didn't you return it?"
The system said: "It's not written in the data. It should be just a casual rescue, and there is no intersection."
Xingshi secretly said to forget it, and wait until he has a chance to recover his memory in the future. He threw the cufflinks into the suitcase, pulled it up and left.
After this day, college students entered a happy summer vacation, and Xingshi started his career as a full-time trainee.
He missed a lot of classes during the exam week, and now he has to work hard to catch up.
The system felt pity for him: "Why don't you debut? Aren't you tired?"
Xingshi said: "It's okay, it's easier than the exam."
The system thought to itself, that's right, exams are so demanding, it's tired just watching.
Ever since Xingshi knew that he was the original owner, he has been more serious in training, because he doesn't know why he chose this path in the first place, and he doesn't want to let his past self down.
But he will still play around when he needs to, and he will be paralyzed when he takes a rest.
After being a full-time trainee for three days, Director He came to City Z.
His work came to an end, and he didn't let his assistant arrange other schedules afterwards, and decided to spend the summer vacation with his son.
Because he had never forgotten his son's previous condition, he was always thinking about it in his heart, and he didn't feel at ease.
He knew that his son had to train, so he chose to contact him at noon, and the first thing he did after lunch was to take him to see a house.
Xingshi came with Fu Xiuning and said, "No, I'm fine living in his house, right?"
Fu Xiuning nodded.
Director He advised, "You're going to live here in the future, so it's better to have your own house."
He was also happy to see his son making friends, and added, "You can continue to live in Xiuning's house, and slowly renovate the house to get rid of the smell."
Xingshi thought it was okay, but he really didn't want to look around by himself and find work for his father: "My time is limited, so how about this, you look around first, and call me if you find something good, I'll go when I have time."
Director He naturally had no objection and began to help his son look for houses.
There are not many new high-end residential areas in Z City, and he only took a week to choose three suitable houses. Xingshi looked around and chose one of them, and that was it.
Director He paid the deposit with a credit card and looked at the bank message on his phone. Tears welled up in his eyes for a moment - his son was finally willing to spend his money again.
He said, "It's done. Let's have dinner together tonight. I see you're tired from training for so many days in a row. Why don't you take a day off tonight?"
Xingshi was tempted: "Okay."
Director He immediately looked at Fu Xiuning: "I haven't been to your place yet. If it's convenient, let's not choose a restaurant outside. Why don't we eat at your place? I'll buy some food and cook it over there, so you can taste my cooking skills."
Fu Xiuning had wanted him to see the environment over there before, so that he could rest assured to leave Xingshi to his care, so he nodded in agreement and said gently: "It's OK as long as you come, I'll arrange the rest."
Director He waved his hand: "I'll do it, the taste will be different if I cook it myself."
Fu Xiuning didn't insist and said "OK".
Then he found that things were not simple.
Director He bought two large bags of things, one bag was food, the other bag was a small amount of food, and the rest was all wine.
He immediately understood the other party's thinking: Director He didn't know what happened to Xingshi, and couldn't find out the reason, but he was worried that Xingshi really had an accident somewhere he didn't know, so he chose to force him to drink and wanted to talk about life to prevent it from developing into more serious psychological problems in the future.
Sure enough, after Director He put the food on the table one by one, he generously opened a bottle of wine.
He filled the glasses in front of them and said, "It's a rare occasion for us to get together, let's drink a little."
Fu Xiuning: "..."
As expected of father and son, even the method is the same.
Xingshi can of course understand his father's intentions, and began to seriously praise his brother: "My brother is very good to me. Look at the desk and bookcase in the living room, they were bought specially for me!"
Director He saw that he was happy and was very grateful to Fu Xiuning, so he toasted him.
The elders toasted, Fu Xiuning could not refuse, he picked it up and drank.
Xing Shi continued: "And the snack cart, he doesn't usually eat snacks, but he buys them for me regularly. The company's restaurant has a dining area dedicated to leaders, he also lets me in, and he even takes time to watch anime with me!"
Director He was even more grateful and toasted another glass of wine.
Fu Xiuning picked up the glass and drank it, then looked at a certain bastard in silence.
Xingshi felt that he had found a way to get back the good fortune he had experienced some time ago. He said, "There is also a popular talent show now. One of the trainees that our company pushed forward was originally someone else. He heard that the director had specifically named me, and was worried that I would squeeze out his spot, so he wanted to knock me down the stairs to hurt me. When my brother found out, he took his name off the list without saying a word, and announced it in public!"
Director He was shocked when he heard this: "Why didn't you tell me about this? Were you injured?"
Xingshi said, "No, I stood up in time, and then my brother helped me vent my anger!"
Director He was scared for a while, and immediately filled Fu Xiuning again.
Fu Xiuning: "..."
