Chapter 8
Everything seemed normal on Gu Youxing's personal dashboard.
Personal panel

System summary: "Your ability has surpassed the system's imagination. When it comes to conspiracy and trickery, you are my god!"]
...Although the system summary is still not very serious, this is not the point.
The focus is on the task rewards below the personal panel.
[Rewards for this mission: 10 kilograms of gold, silver and jewelry x10, world fusion speed +10, number of vests x1 (countdown 10 days), computer language course (ten years later version) x1. ]
Gu Youxing nodded at the ordinary rewards mentioned above. The gold, silver and jewelry were real rewards, while the world fusion progress allowed Gu Youxing to know the time of world fusion.
The progress of the world fusion is definitely a killer weapon. Although he cannot control the time of the world fusion, just knowing it in advance is enough for Gu Youxing to make arrangements in advance.
——Unfortunately, the countdown for world fusion can only show the world where the vest is unlocked, so it is temporarily useless.
The world fusion interface is now empty. It will only appear on this interface when two worlds with different accounts have been activated.
It's just like the world of 'Shen Nanye' and 'Xie Yuanzhi'.
Unfortunately, Gu Youxing had just entered the world at that time, and the fusion of the two worlds was too fast, resulting in the progress bar appearing on the world fusion interface for only one day before it was filled up at an extremely fast speed.
Gu Youxing regretfully exited the world fusion interface and thought, then turned his attention to the computer course.
With the current development of computers, the computer language courses in ten years cannot be said to be overwhelming those of today, but they will at least be in a leading position. Moreover, the system will be produced without cutting corners.
Gu Youxing dared to swear on the civil service exam questions that made his brain neurons fight when he took the civil service exam.
When he moved his eyes downwards, Gu Youxing was a little confused by the column that read "special rewards".
[Special rewards: 'World Aid' x1, 'Cthulhu's Foot Leather' x1]
Gu Youxing clicked on the item introduction. Although the name was a bit strange, it was Cthulhu...
[Cthulhu's Foot Skin: "A piece of foot skin that belongs to a great ancient god. Although I don't know why octopuses have foot skin, it doesn't matter. Even if it is just the foot skin of a great ancient god, it can still bring a little shock to the tiny human beings from the ancient god!"
Effect: Gives all who see the foot skin an indescribable fear, but it is just fear. 】
Gu Youxing: ...
Is this thing really the Cthulhu in his understanding?
"...Is this the Cthulhu I know?" Gu Youxing asked stiffly.
"Yes, host. Our company's business is spread across multiple worlds, and naturally there will be Cthulhu similar to the one you conceived in your original world."
Like a sales champion, 777 proudly introduced that his company has business in many worlds.
Gu Youxing frowned now: "Will supernatural powers similar to Cthulhu appear in the ten worlds that are merged later?"
777 said: "There are supernatural powers, but they are not supernatural powers like Cthulhu. It is easy to merge the ten worlds, but at least their underlying laws must be the same."
"Each world has the potential to become any other world. They just evolved into different worlds from one origin, just like fish and humans. Although they seem very distant, in the distant past, they all belonged to the same single-celled organism."
777 said this in a simple and horrifying way, but Gu Youxing's brows still did not relax.
This was not good news for him, as he also possessed supernatural powers in his original world.
——Mental power.
This is also one of the reasons why humans can fight against alien species that weigh dozens or hundreds of tons.
But there are many kinds of supernatural powers, and Gu Youxing was not sure whether he could master those supernatural powers. Thinking of this, Gu Youxing asked.
"Host, don't worry about this. Your ability to enter these mission worlds means that your existence is the same as the underlying rules of these worlds. This is a two-way choice. We are not like those companies that force taskers into the world."
Recalling the auditorium tragedy that happened at the rival company last year, and how the entire company began to assign tasks according to the original world of the tasker, 777 promised seriously.
"Then I feel relieved."
After listening to this, Gu Youxing relaxed his brows and looked much more relaxed.
Only he himself knew that he had written it down.
"The underlying rules are the same...?"
*
Gu Youxing was reassured that no ancient gods or other creatures would suddenly appear in the future world.
According to his shallow understanding of the world of Cthulhu, the more you know, the smarter you are, and the faster you die.
Unfortunately, Gu Youxing meets both of the above conditions.
Reassured, Gu Youxing clicked on another special reward, but strangely, "World Aid" had no introduction and no function.
777 quickly explained.
"Host, this is a benefit specially given by the higher-ups to the taskers whose native world is about to be destroyed. As long as the host completes a task, the company will provide food, weapons and other supplies to the host's native world through the space-time channel. Of course, this is also to mobilize the work enthusiasm of the taskers."
Fortunately, when Gu Youxing entered the system company, he knew that his original world was about to be destroyed, and he could accept it rationally.
——He was already a dead man in his original world, so what if he didn’t accept it?
But now…
"...If the taskers work hard, there are also native worlds that can use these materials to reverse the fate of world destruction."
Gu Youxing stared at the words on the panel in front of him with rapid breathing, while 777 on the side looked at the host's uncalm look with some smugness.
Before, the host was at most surprised by the various conveniences provided by his system, and his emotional ups and downs were all within the range of maintaining rationality, which made 777 very frustrated.
Unfortunately, 777's little happiness did not last long. Gu Youxing closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down.
"What price will the company have to pay, or can the company distribute the supplies to the original world? Or is this a fair opportunity to settle accounts?"
Gu Youxing took a few deep breaths and spoke.
In fact, he was still a little out of control. Under normal circumstances, although he had some guesses in his mind, he would never say it out loud so rashly.
The Monkey King has been carrying this responsibility for five hundred years, so it would be strange if 777 admitted it when he asked this question.
"How is it possible! How can our company covet your supplies? It's just a little food, water and weapons. No one wants them even if they are placed in the warehouse! How can you think like that?"
777 said almost screaming, and immediately began to talk about how his company had cooperation with so many worlds in a huff, and explained to Gu Youxing that the company would never covet his supplies.
Gu Youxing looked at 777's anxious look, moved his fingers, blinked his eyes and said, "I can't believe this."
777's data stream immediately turned into an OK shape and said, "You need evidence, right? You will get it when the supplies are delivered tomorrow. I told you that we are a legitimate company!"
Gu Youxing watched the data stream representing the main body of 777 fly away quickly, leaving only a small string of small data streams representing the split body by his side.
Gu Youxing blinked and smiled at the split data beside him.
“We’ll see.”
*
777 went to deal with world aid, and Gu Youxing also started to process mission rewards.
The other rewards were temporarily stored away as he couldn't use them right now - including Cthulhu's foot skin.
He couldn't think of where he could use this thing for the time being. He couldn't open a haunted house.
As for the remaining courses, such as computer language courses, Gu Youxing chose to start studying that night.
The countdown for the third vest is still ten days.
Gu Youxing looked at the time and narrowed his eyes.
The timing is just right. Perhaps the system mall can be opened before the third vest is unlocked.
Time passes quickly when studying.
After studying hard for a whole night, Gu Youxing returned to the body of 'Shen Nanye', still in high spirits.
This is the benefit of mental strength and having multiple bodies, sharing the fatigue.
Gu Youxing thought as he went downstairs.
——Then he ran into Shen Guofu, who looked like a giant panda.
There were dark circles under Shen Guofu's eyes but his expression was quite excited. It was obvious that he must not have slept all night. He even still had a cell phone in his hand and was talking to the person on the other end of the line.
If his voice had not been hoarse and was still loud, Gu Youxing would have thought that this person had been on the phone all night.
"Master, Mr. Shen has been like this for almost the whole night. Last night, Mr. Shen kept calling until two in the morning. He couldn't sleep most of the night and started to match himself with clothes to wear for the Tanhua Banquet. Then after trying on all the clothes, ties and accessories, Mr. Shen decided to buy a few new sets this morning. It happened that he finished trying on clothes until six in the morning, and Mr. Shen started calling again."
The male secretary who was speaking had the same dark circles under his eyes, but it was clear that he was not as energetic as his boss.
Although he could understand his boss, if his sister was admitted to Capital University, he would also want the whole world to know about it.
But that's just an exaggeration.
But Mr. Shen obviously didn't take this sentence as a metaphor.
The secretary watched helplessly as his boss received a call from his eldest brother to a bathhouse attendant whom he had only met once before.
I didn't let go of any of them and was extremely excited!
Although his salary has doubled, such a high-intensity workload has obviously made him prefer rest time over work time.
"...My dad is a little excited, too happy. Brother Liu, quickly call other colleagues to come over and take over, and you go home and sleep first. I know my dad won't do anything big tonight, probably just book a hotel or something. Instead of wasting time with him, you might as well go back and rest first."
Gu Youxing sighed in his heart and began to clean up the mess. What could he do? That was the biological father of 'Alan Shen', a father who couldn't bear to touch his own son even if he slapped him.
Secretary Liu was grateful as he watched the young master ask for leave from President Shen for him, and even counted it as full attendance, and then gave him a copy of his notes before the college entrance examination.
Secretary Liu's eyes widened as he looked at the notes. His sister would take the college entrance examination next year. She was one year older than the eldest young master. Her academic performance was okay but definitely not as good as the eldest young master. At this time, Shen Nanye's study notes really touched Secretary Liu's heart.
The resentment in his heart immediately dissipated, and Secretary Liu happily took the note home and gave it to his sister as a surprise.
Sister: ...You are really my brother!
Secretary Liu obviously didn't notice his sister's resentful look and went straight back to his room and fell asleep.
I'm afraid there will be a tough battle to fight tomorrow. Given the boss's personality, the invitation to this Tanhua Banquet will definitely appear in front of all the important people in City M within five days.
It turned out that Secretary Liu really knew Shen Guofu.
Notify on the first day, book a hotel on the second day, order clothing on the third day, and book a banquet on the fourth day...
This banquet, which brought together all the big shots from the entire city of M, also attracted the attention of many people.
The four families, Zhou, Li, Qian and Sun, who were all in the same boat, naturally also sent invitations.
On the surface, they came to apologize, but secretly they also wanted to find out how close the relationship between Xie Yuanzhi and the Shen family was.
When they arrived at the hotel entrance carrying the gifts and the four children who had been beaten again, they were stunned by the scene at the entrance.
——No, he’s just the third place in the imperial examination. Did Shen Guofu have to make such a scene?
The four families watched as four or five lion dancers jumped around in front of the hotel with great joy. Beside them were dragon dancers, stilt walkers, people carrying large jars, and people carrying bowls...
But these are not the most eye-catching ones.
Instead, it was a snow-white horse wearing a big red flower.
——And the boy standing next to this big white horse, expressing his rejection with all his heart.
"No, Dad! Are you really going to parade me through the streets?"
