Chapter 175: A New Penalty Appears
“He actually said something like that to Grandpa?” Fu Xiaoxiao’s hands, hanging by her sides, clenched into fists with anger filling her eyes. “He actually made Grandpa faint and then ran off!”
Jiang Yuan frowned, dissatisfaction also evident on her face, “Your second uncle is too much of a bastard!”
“He’s a beast!” Fu Xiaoxiao was furious.
Green Hat heard them and blinked curiously, “Are you cursing the male who met the old human? Is he a bad person?”
“Yes.” Jiang Yuan nodded, glancing at her watch, “It’s a bit late now, we’ll meet again next time.”
Green Hat instantly became excited, its two sharp claws gripping the glass, and it widened its eyes, saying, “You’re leaving already? Not going to chat for a while longer?”
It was hard to find a human she could talk to, so Green Hat didn’t want her to leave.
“It’s really a bit late today.” Jiang Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly, “I’ll come find you to play again when I have time.”
Green Hat let out a regretful cry, “Okay, see you next time then.”
After leaving Grandpa Fu’s house, Fu Xiaoxiao asked Jiang Yuan to drive and sat in the passenger seat to call Fu Rong.
Perhaps due to guilt, the phone rang several times, but no one answered.
“Bastard, you don’t dare to answer the phone!” Fu Xiaoxiao cursed while continuing to call.
After she called a couple more times, the voice prompt directly indicated the phone was turned off.
Fu Xiaoxiao clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, “This trash!”
Jiang Yuan held the steering wheel, turned her head to glance at her, “Even if he answered the phone, he wouldn’t admit to making Grandpa faint and then running off.”
“Sigh.” Fu Xiaoxiao put down her phone, “I really didn’t expect there to be such a shameless person in the world.”
Jiang Yuan frowned, “It’s indeed disgusting, but there are plenty of disgusting people in this world.”
“This makes me so angry!” Fu Xiaoxiao rolled down the car window to get some air.
“Calm down.” Jiang Yuan softly comforted her, “The most fortunate thing is that Grandpa is okay.”
“Yes.” Fu Xiaoxiao nodded, “If anything happened to Grandpa, I would definitely not let him off.”
Arriving back at the hospital entrance, Jiang Yuan returned the car key to her, reached out, and pinched her cheek, “Call me if you need any help, I’ll head home now.”
Fu Xiaoxiao playfully hugged her, “Tell me when you get home.”
The next day.
Jiang Yuan was woken up from her sleep by the prompt sound of System 009.
【System 009: Congratulations on completing the hidden mission “Save the Victim,” you have obtained the reward: Spider Dictionary, 500 points, 2 million cash.】
【System 009: Congratulations on completing the LV2 mission “Disrupt Cousin’s Marriage,” you have obtained the reward: 50 points, 500,000 cash.】
Jiang Yuan sleepily opened her eyes, suddenly feeling like she had been woken up by money.
“009, you finally appeared.”
【System 009: Miss Jiang, I apologize, I was urgently recalled the day before yesterday and didn’t have time to say goodbye.】
Jiang Yuan asked doubtfully, “Recalled for what?”
【System 009: I’m sorry, I cannot disclose that.】
Jiang Yuan said, “Alright, I’m not interested anyway.”
She rolled over, gazing at the ray of light shining through the gap in the curtains, “I have a question, what’s the difference between a hidden mission and the missions you issue?”
【System 009: Hidden missions have no time limit and no penalty.】
Jiang Yuan: “…”
She didn’t know if she had asked a meaningless question or if 009 had said something pointless.
Jiang Yuan threw off the quilt and got out of bed, reaching out to open the curtains, closing her eyes, and tilting her head slightly to feel the warmth of the sunshine.
“Morning, Mom.” Jiang Yuan walked through the living room towards the restroom.
“Yuan Yuan is up.” Deng Rui said while arranging flowers, “There’s breakfast on the table.”
Jiang Yuan replied, “Got it.”
After breakfast, Jiang Yuan was thinking that she had nothing to do today and could go stroll around the furniture market.
She sat down on the sofa and was about to ask Deng Rui to go out with her when the system’s prompt sound suddenly rang again.
【System 009: Triggered new LV2 mission: Listening, Mission Reward: 50 points, Mission Limit: 5 hours, Failure Penalty: Persona Manipulation.】
Persona manipulation…
A new penalty had appeared.
【System 009: If Miss Jiang is curious about what persona manipulation is, you can ignore this mission and experience the penalty.】
Jiang Yuan chuckled, “My curiosity isn’t that strong.”
“What are you talking about?” Deng Rui looked up at her.
“Nothing, it’s okay.” Jiang Yuan squeezed out a smile and stood up, “I’m going back to my room to be busy for a while. By the way, where did you put the express delivery that arrived a few days ago?”
Deng Rui brought her the package and asked with a smile, “Are you going to start live streaming?”
“You guessed it?” Jiang Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Deng Rui replied, “The box said it was a phone holder.”
“Alright, Rui.” Jiang Yuan gave her a thumbs up, “You observed that very carefully.”
After unpacking, she took the phone holder into her room.
Deng Rui smiled, “I’ll cut you some fruit now.”
“My Rui, so thoughtful.” Jiang Yuan winked at her.
Deng Rui’s face was full of smiles.
Jiang Yuan entered the room, adjusted the phone holder, and turned on the beauty light.
As soon as she started broadcasting, a large number of viewers flooded into the live stream room.
【Wow, she’s live!】
【Finally, we waited for you, luckily I didn’t give up~~~】
【I thought you forgot about us!】
【I feel like the streamer looks even prettier today!】
“Haha!” Jiang Yuan laughed, “It’s probably because my new phone holder has a beauty light.”
【The streamer always tells the truth.】
【The streamer’s looks are good whether she uses a beauty light or not.】
【How many people are you connecting with today? I hope I get the chance to be the lucky one.】
“I’m not sure how many people I’ll connect with.” Jiang Yuan’s gaze shifted slightly, “Let’s see how it goes?”
【Then hurry up and start!】
【Connect with me!】
She randomly connected with the viewer “Steady Xia.”
Jiang Yuan’s full-screen was split into two smaller screens. A girl with long curly hair and a brilliant smile appeared on the split screen next to Jiang Yuan.
“Hello Yuan Yuan, hello everyone, I’m Xiaxia, I didn’t expect to be the first lucky viewer.” Steady Xia greeted them generously.
“Hello Xiaxia.” Jiang Yuan responded with a smile, “Do you have a pet?”
Steady Xia was walking outdoors and nodded, “Yes, but I don’t have a pet cat, I have a mixed-breed cat.”
Jiang Yuan said, “My family also has a cow cat.”
“What a coincidence!” Steady Xia’s face showed surprise, “I also have a cow cat. I’m coming home soon, I was just getting a delivery.”
On her way home, Steady Xia told everyone that she was currently preparing for her wedding, and the package she just picked up was an invitation she was preparing to send to relatives and friends.
Hearing this, joy appeared on Jiang Yuan’s fair face, “Congratulations! I wish you a long and happy life together, and eternal love.”
The viewers also sent blessings through bullet comments.
“Thank you!” Steady Xia said happily as she entered the elevator, “Receiving so many blessings, I believe my marriage will be very happy.”
When she got home, she immediately introduced her cow cat, “This is the cat I raised, her name is Xiao Zhou, because I found her on the weekend.”
