Side story
Linno hung up the phone,
He took out his keys,
But found that he had forgotten where he had parked the car earlier,
He was too lazy to think or look for it,
He smiled and put the keys back, walked out of the underground parking lot.
Their show relied on all kinds of weirdos and family affairs to attract the audience. They did not find any celebrities as guests. Other than the host who was a little famous in the program team,
Only he, a half-baked "mentor" who came from a background, had the highest value.
With such a team, it was inevitable that they would be at a disadvantage when scheduling time,
Therefore, after recording the show, the moon was already high in the sky outside.
The night wind was cold,
It also carried the hustle and bustle of the city,
Linno looked up at the crescent moon that barely revealed half of his face from the gap between the tall buildings. He was a little dissatisfied: the streets near the television station were originally quite spacious,
But if he looked up, he would feel that it was a little narrow.
The buildings in the city seemed to be built higher than the moon in the sky, and the lights were brighter than the stars. Obviously, it was not a good place to admire the moon.
Linno retracted his gaze and walked aimlessly along the sidewalk,
He thought to himself,
So cramped..,
Was it too many people, or was the world too small?
It was probably the latter.
Although it was already midnight, there were still many pedestrians on the street. Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces, Linno suddenly felt a little dispirited, so he turned around and prepared to go back to get the car and go home.
He had liked the night sky since he was young. He looked at the stars, the moon, and the clouds. Like many people, the more unreachable the world was, the more he yearned for it. However, after his only family member passed away, he became a little drifter in Beijing. It was not so easy for him to find a comfortable and quiet place to lie down and look at the sky. Later, he was finally able to stop worrying about food, clothing, and school. He even bought his own house near the starry sky. He barely had a home, but after a few days, he... he..
What was it again?
As if a door had been opened, countless chaotic memories returned. Linno paused in his steps. After a while, he shook his head and smiled. Really, he was muddle-headed again. It seemed that even though he had turned from a human into a god, his brain was still not enough.
He turned back and continued walking. He remembered that there was a hot pot restaurant in this direction. The food was fresh and spicy, the price was affordable, and the portions were sufficient. The only problem was that the name was too hard to pronounce. He checked the dictionary to find out the pronunciation, but he forgot it again after a few days. When he mentioned it to his colleagues, he would randomly call it beef, lamb, and fish.
He had missed this restaurant a few times, but he didn't expect that he would have the chance to eat to his heart's content.
After walking for more than half an hour, they saw the three eye-catching words on the signboard. Good quality at a reasonable price, coupled with a name that left a deep impression on people, naturally, money was rolling in. Even at this time, the business was still booming. Linno and many other people squeezed into the relatively narrow shop. After rolling up their sleeves and sweating from the spicy food, they felt much better. When they came out of the hot pot restaurant, they felt that the stars were even brighter.
Just as he was in a good mood, a shrill and panicked female voice came from afar, "Robbery! Robbery! Robbery! "
Linno looked back and saw two figures running along the sidewalk, one in front and one behind. Along the way, people and horses were thrown off their feet. It seemed that it was not a robbery, but a robbery.
Both of them ran very fast, especially the one in front. He was like a gust of wind. Linno was stunned, and he rushed to his side.
However, sometimes it was not a good thing to run too fast. For example, if he was a little slower and didn't have so much momentum, he wouldn't have been tripped by Linno's toes and rolled on the ground four or five times. He fell so hard that his bones seemed to have all fallen apart, and he couldn't get up for a long time.
"Phew! Phew! Phew … "The young man who was chasing him finally arrived. He was panting like a bellows, and his hands were on his knees for a long time before he recovered. He went forward and took the exquisite handbag from the rolling gourd, and scolded," What are you robbing for? Who still has a lot of cash in their handbags nowadays? They don't even put their mobile phones in their handbags … Why are you robbing a bunch of cosmetics? I'm so tired! "
As he spoke, he turned around and waved at Linno with a smile. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. His eyes were staring blankly. "Oh my god, I'm committing a crime! Why is he still so handsome … "
While he was in a daze, he heard movement behind him. He turned around and saw the rolling gourd who snatched the handbag had gotten up and was running. At first, he was limping, but then he ran faster and faster. The young man was half a beat slower before he started to chase, but there was no way he could catch up. After running for more than ten meters, the figure disappeared. He stopped in shock and muttered, "Damn it, he ran so fast and didn't fight for the glory of the country. What kind of handbag is he robbing?"
He turned around listlessly, "Thanks, buddy. If it wasn't for you just now …"
However, he was stunned. There was no "buddy" in front of him. There were only a few pedestrians on the empty street, and that unbelievably handsome man seemed to have never appeared.
He rubbed his eyes and wondered if he was hallucinating. However, the handbag in his hand was real. He suddenly muttered, "I really saw a ghost …"
A bag snatcher who ran as fast as a wisp of smoke, and an unbelievably handsome man who came and went like a ghost … When he thought of this, his memory blurred. "An unbelievably handsome man? What did he look like? Was there such a person? "
"Thank you! Thank you, thank you! "
The young lady who lost the handbag finally caught up with him, out of breath. The young man handed the bag back and said, "It's nothing, it's what I should do. But that guy ran really fast. If it wasn't for my bad luck and fall, I really wouldn't have been able to catch up … "
He scratched the back of his head blankly. "Bad luck and fall?" Why didn't he feel like that was the case?
*****
It was late at night, and most people had already fallen asleep. The only noise in the city was the roar of the cars on the road. However, the street lights were still bright. A thin figure avoided the street lights and walked in the shadows. If you were closer, you could hear him whispering with a sneer.
"Rich? So what if you're rich? You can look down on others just because you're rich? You can steal other people's girlfriends just because you're rich? I'll make you rich! I'll make you rich! "
He soon arrived at his destination. It was a large and elegantly decorated clothing store, but it was already closed. This thin and slightly handsome man stopped and stood under the surveillance at the door. He had a mysterious and arrogant smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled. He chuckled and said, "Do you know, there are some people in this world that you can never afford to offend? Rich? What's the point of having money! "
He stretched out a finger and said, "Remember, this is just the beginning."
After saying this, he turned around and walked away slowly. There was a kind of slow-motion elegance in his steps. If he was wearing a windbreaker at this moment, the corners of his clothes would definitely be fluttering like Brother Ma.
Behind him, in a place where no one could see, there were dozens of flames rising without warning through the door, gradually becoming a prairie fire.
The man raised his head and walked unhurriedly, looking down at the world in front of him. He knew that he, Liang Ping, would not be a coward for the rest of his life. God finally began to compensate him!
He spread out his hands, looked at the swaying flames in his palms, and smiled faintly.
I, Liang Ping, am coming!
Mortals of this world, are you ready?
Although his life had already undergone a transformation, although his life was about to embark on a bright path, he still habitually walked in the shadows, imagining what kind of embarrassing face that pretentious kid would have tomorrow. He also thought if that snobbish woman turned to his arms, should he slap her or enjoy her first before kicking her away …
Just as he was indulging in his thoughts, a clear bird's cry sounded. Liang Ping came back to his senses and shuddered a little. It was not because the sound of birds was rarely heard in the city, but because this bird's cry was too close and too clear, as if it was directly ringing in his mind.
He stopped in shock. After a while, he saw a bird standing on the sycamore tree next to the sidewalk. It was clearly standing on the branch closest to him, and its size was bigger than the largest parrot he had ever seen. However, because of its feathers that seemed to be darker than the night, he searched blindly for a long time before he could find it.
Liang Ping, who was unexpectedly frightened, finally found the culprit. He was instantly furious. Without thinking, he raised his hand and a line of fire flew out. He said coldly, "Damn beast!"
The sudden burst of fire illuminated the surrounding branches and leaves, and the bird standing on the branch like a shadow also revealed its true appearance. However, in the blink of an eye, it was enveloped by the fire. Liang Ping could only vaguely see the beautiful crest on its head and the long and elegant tail feathers.
Liang Ping didn't expect this beast's fur to be so ugly, but it looked pretty good. He didn't know what breed it was. If it wasn't for the fact that it scared him, it would be quite honorable to catch it as a pet … Just as this thought flashed through Liang Ping's mind, his entire body froze. He saw that the bird wrapped in the raging flames didn't burn into charcoal with its miserable cries as he imagined. Instead, it rather leisurely flapped its wings, and the raging flames splashed out like tiny water droplets attached to its feathers. The scattered sparks were like blooming fireworks, dazzling for a moment before disappearing without a trace, leaving only the pitch-black bird on the branch looking at him with its head tilted.
Liang Ping, who had done many experiments and knew the power of his flames, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. However, he forced a smile on his face and said, "Brother Bird, Brother Bird, where did you come from? Are you hungry? Do you want …"
Before he finished speaking, a gust of wind hit him in the face.
The black bird spread its wings and swept down. Its movements seemed slow, but in the blink of an eye, it was in front of him. Liang Ping only felt a chill all over his body. Before he could react, he felt something peck his forehead. It was neither light nor heavy, neither painful nor itchy. However, all the strength in his body seemed to have been sucked away. He could only fall weakly on the ground and look at the big black bird that swept past him in horror.
The black bird drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed back on the branch again. However, there was an additional illusory little "bug" made of little starlight in its mouth.
Liang Ping instinctively knew what that little "bug" was. He was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart. He, who firmly believed in the law of "the protagonist never dies", felt despair for the first time in his heart at this moment. He tried his best to stand up and staggered towards the black bird. He begged, "Give it back to me! Give it back to me, I beg you … "
The black bird didn't even look at him. Just like all the birds in the world, it raised its head and threw the invisible worm into the sky. Then, it opened its mouth and swallowed it. With a satisfied cry, it flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
Liang Ping sat weakly on the ground and stared blankly at the direction where it disappeared. After a long time, he broke down and cried loudly. His face was covered with tears and snot, and he was as fragile as a child.
*****
At the same time.
"In a more professional language," In the bright living room, the green-skinned little turtle stood on the small round table, waving its short front claws and talking loudly, "This is the contradiction between the sudden increase in energy level and the existing social form. This is a fundamental contradiction, it is inevitable and irreconcilable …"
“stop。” Linno sat on the rattan chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his head propped up. He drank the red wine in the goblet in one gulp, "Speak human language."
The little turtle said discontentedly, "I'm a turtle. Don't you think it's too difficult for me to speak human language?"
Linno lowered his head and looked at a certain little turtle at a close distance. He said, "Once upon a time, there was a mischievous little turtle …"
The little turtle blinked. "Huh?"
Linno said, "And then it became a real turtle."
The little turtle froze, blinked, and began to speak as fast as it could. "To put it simply, when a person achieves the Dao, even his chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. When every god achieves the Dao, the world they are born in will automatically become their first world, called the Primordial Realm. The Primordial Realm is the world with the highest energy level other than the Primordial Realm of the gods. If a mortal cultivating to become a god is compared to a long student life, then the Primordial Realm is his internship after graduation. It is the starting point of all worlds. Only after he knows all the rules of this world like the back of his hand can he begin to create his first world.
"Generally speaking, no, not generally speaking, it is inevitable. A world that can allow people to cultivate to become a god must be a world with an extremely high energy level. Therefore, this kind of 'collective ascension' will not cause any impact to the world. It will not even be noticed by the creatures of this world …"
"But?"
Jinjiang123 was very dissatisfied with its long speech being interrupted. It glared at Linno and said, "Who said I was going to say 'but'?"
"Uh …" After being glanced at by Linno with a smile that was not a smile, the green turtle choked again and said aggrievedly, "Okay, but, but the world that supported you to become a god, although it is indeed the world with the highest energy level starting with the number 0, you are not a real creature of that world, and the world you are born in …"
Jinjiang123 shrugged its turtle shell and spread its hands. "It's still okay now. It's just that all creatures' physiques have been strengthened and their lifespans have been extended. Some creatures' spiritual veins have begun to appear, and they have abilities similar to superpowers. But if it continues to develop, when a person can destroy a city with a wave of his hand, do you think the current social order can still be maintained?"
Linno sighed helplessly. "It's the apocalypse again …"
Jinjiang123 said, "Actually, no matter if it's the sudden increase of spiritual energy or the depletion of spiritual energy, for all creatures, isn't it the apocalypse? But the good thing is that this time, all creatures' life levels have been raised. There won't be zombie-like creatures due to adverse reactions. Therefore, it's not quite accurate to call it the apocalypse. It should be a chaotic world. "
Seeing that Linno was not in a good mood, Jinjiang123 said again, "But so what if it's the apocalypse, so what if it's a chaotic world? This world doesn't have a crazy creation system that will destroy everything and start over if it's unhappy … Even if they destroy the Earth and everyone dies, it won't affect you much, Master!"
Linno did not comment. He leaned back in his chair and poured himself another glass of red wine. After a few glasses, he looked at Jinjiang123 lazily and said, "Have you heard of a kind of insect? Before it's born, it's wrapped in layers of bubbles by its mother. The first thing it does after birth is to learn how to spit bubbles. It spits out layer after layer of bubbles, and it lives in its own bubbles for the rest of its life … Do you think it's occasionally curious about what the world outside of its bubbles is like?"
Jinjiang123 said seriously, "Master, don't bite off more than you can chew."
Bite off more than you can chew? How could it use such a word? Lin Nuo glanced at it and smiled, "It's rare to see you so solemn … So, is your master asleep and can't be woken up, or is he tired of living alone, so he abandoned the bubbles he spat out and left?"
Jinjiang123 choked and said stiffly, "Master God's matters, how would I, a little terminal, know?"
Linno did not force it. He stood up and stood by the window, looking at the quiet and peaceful world below him. After a long time, he drank the wine in his glass and said, "No matter what, whether it's the apocalypse or the chaotic world, I don't like it, and I don't like the chaotic world that I bring."
Jinjiang123 thought for a while and said, "That's not impossible. As long as we find the protagonist of this world and support him, let his strength crush the world, and establish a relatively peaceful new order."
Linno nodded and said, "That's a good idea, but the problem now is …"
Jinjiang123 saw that he did not continue and asked, "What's the problem?"
Linno continued, "The problem is that this world doesn't have a protagonist yet."
Jinjiang123 widened its beady eyes and said, "How can there be no protagonist? Even if it's not a new world, there will always be a person favored by fate at every time to become the protagonist of the era! "
Linno sighed and said, "Indeed, it's a person favored by fate. This person's cultivation talent is top-notch, and he was the first to open his spiritual meridian without learning any martial arts. But the problem is … his fate and meridian were just eaten by a naughty little fellow."
"How can it be!" Jinjiang123 said in disbelief. "A person favored by fate, unless he lost all his fate, how can he fall like this …"
Its voice paused, and its eyes widened. "It can't be … the Huoer, right?"
Linno held his forehead.
Jinjiang123 jumped and said, "I only let it out for half an hour, and it ate the protagonist! Master, don't you care about it! "The so-called favored by fate, meeting this person's favorite, of course it was unlucky.
This little fellow, it used to bully it, but now it was getting more and more out of control! Teach it a lesson! It would be best to turn it into a real parrot, put it in a cage, and not let it come out for a hundred years!
Before it finished thinking, it heard a clear bird chirp outside the window. A big black bird that seemed to blend into the night sky flew through the floor-to-ceiling window like a phantom and landed on Linno's shoulder.
Linno rubbed its head with his finger and said, "Is it fun outside?"
"Ji!"
"Did you eat snacks just now?"
"Ji ji!"
"Don't you know to look for me when you're hungry? You dare to eat all kinds of things, aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache … Forget about the spiritual meridian, you're not allowed to touch fate in the future. This thing is something that others can only come by by chance, but it's harmful to you. Are you prepared to be trapped in this world for the rest of your life? If you don't like it, you can just smash it away. "
"Ji!"
"…"
Listening to the conversation between the master and the pet, the green-skinned turtle wiped its tears with its short claws and sadly crawled to the side. How can there be such a biased master in the world …
Linno ignored the little turtle that pretended to be strange.
Heaven and earth were heartless and treated all things as straw dogs. Those who were favored by fate, the probability of a morally perfect person and a despicable person was the same. Even if the creation system selected words to create a world, no matter how popular the words were, the protagonist was righteous or evil. Linno had seen the world evolved from pure meat or dark words in the mission list more than once.
Therefore, the so-called protagonist had nothing to do with character. Huoer had long been psychic. If it wasn't for the lack of virtue, how could it appear in its menu? For such a main character, if he wanted to eat, he could just let him eat.
Linno looked out of the window. The Leaving Sword was still out in the wild and didn't go home in the middle of the night. As a sword, it was more naggy than a turtle and more playful than a bird. He didn't know how Fang Tuo raised it …
Fang Tuo …
For some reason, there was a tingling pain and confusion in his heart. Linno shook his head, picked up the little turtle and went to the living room. He sat down on the sofa and opened the laptop. "I remember that you were born as a system, so it should be easy for you to make a small program, right?"
Jin Jiang123 even forgot about its disappointment for a moment. It widened its eyes in disbelief. "It's true that I was born as a system, but I'm a turtle now! An ordinary tortoise whose divine sense couldn't even leave its body! You want a turtle to make a program? "
Linno murmured and muttered, "It seems that I'm forcing you!"
Jin Jiang123 raised its head and snorted. It's good that you know!
Linno snapped his fingers, and the original 14-inch computer immediately shrunk to 7-inch size. Linno considerately put it in front of the little turtle and said, "This is just right … Do you need me to make your neck longer?"
Jin Jiang123's chin trembled and it looked at Linno with tears in its eyes. What do you mean? What the hell do you mean by this?
Linno said, "Why don't I make a vertical one so that you can stand up and type with your two claws and head?"
Jin Jiang123 hit its head on the keyboard angrily. "I @ (*)% # @ …"
Its mood was as messy as the input method.
Linno said with satisfaction, "En, the size and distance are just right. Good luck, then. I should go to sleep. I still have to go to work tomorrow!"
Jin Jiang123 was dumbfounded. "Go, go to work?"
Let's not talk about whether you need to sleep or not. Going to work is too ridiculous!
Linno said, "If you don't go to work, you'll pay the mortgage?"
Jin Jiang123 waved its claws angrily. Excuses! They're all excuses! You're the one who wants to be lazy! This world is yours. Pay the mortgage, mortgage your ass!
Linno gave it an encouraging tap and said, "Work hard. If I don't see anything tomorrow, I definitely won't throw a certain turtle off the bridge …"
Jin Jiang123 wiped its bitter tears and trembled as it used its head to turn on the computer. Master is getting harsher and harsher. The pet's life can't go on … Why is that bird fine after eating the main character, but the poor little turtle has to be thrown away after working so hard …
Little turtle, yellow in the ground …
*****
The next day, Linno didn't go to work. He still remembered that he had a mortgage, but he forgot that he didn't work five or nine in the morning. He had just finished recording a week's program last night and could rest for two days, so he spent half the day wandering around.
Because of his harsh mouth, Lin Nuo was somewhat famous. While walking on the road, he actually met two groups of people who recognized him. With a gentle and amiable smile, they took photos and signed autographs. However, he still felt somewhat out of place in the bustling crowd around him.
"Linno, Linno, you're being unreasonable. You're taking advantage of others and yet you're still pretending to be obedient … Compared to people who suffer the pain of birth, old age, illness, and death, who don't even know if they're humans or animals in their next life, what are you dissatisfied with?"
Perhaps they were just like some public officials who looked forward to retirement every day, hoping that they wouldn't have to work so hard from five to nine. However, when it came to the day of retirement, they felt empty and lost. Some of them even lost their energy overnight.
"I'm just not used to it …"
He didn't know how to pass the time, so he went to watch a movie. He watched three movies in a row.
Tragedies, comedies, and soul-stirring action movies with punches to the flesh.
It was almost dusk by the time he finished watching the movie. Walking on the sidewalk under the trees, Linno was in a much better mood. The love and hatred in the movie, whether it was crying, laughing, or fighting, always had a carefree feeling after watching it. Even the inexplicable emptiness in his heart dissipated a lot.
When he just walked out of the cinema, it was bustling with people, but the more he walked, the fewer people there were. The sky was getting darker, and the surroundings were getting quieter. At this time, Linno saw a dog sitting in the shadow of the corner between the trash can and the flower pond, motionless.
It was a huge black dog with no collar around its neck. Its bald and dirty fur emitted a stench worse than the trash can, but its eyes were bright and clear.
Linno only took a glance and then withdrew his gaze. In this era, people lived too well and were too lonely, so more and more people kept pets, and so more and more pets were abandoned. After the government couldn't stop it, they had to send people to catch it. This dog was such a big target, who knew how long it could survive.
Black Hound seemed to be oblivious to its situation. It sat silently in the darkness, quietly watching the slender figure pass by it at a leisurely pace.
Seeing that the man was about to disappear from its sight, the black dog dragged its two broken hind legs and crawled out of the shadow. It chased after the man's back for a few steps before stopping. It sat there for a while, then calmly and painstakingly moved towards the trash can.
Suddenly, a shadow covered its body.
The black dog raised its head and looked at the figure that was quite large for it now. It watched as the man stood in front of it for a moment, then squatted down. It watched as the man reached out his hands and picked up its smelly, putrid body … Then the pair of eyes that were as calm as water gradually became complicated, and its body stiffened a little awkwardly.
The man's calm voice slowly flowed into its ears, "I originally thought, maybe you didn't want me to see you in such a sorry state, but then I thought, I've seen you in your worst state, and you've seen me in my worst state. Between you and me, there's no need to be like this. Come to think of it, you think so too.
"It's been too long, I can't tell if you and I are enemies, friends, or even strangers. But no matter what, I can't calmly watch you live in such a sorry state. Come to think of it … you're the same."
The black dog in his arms was not the turtle on his shoulder, so it naturally wouldn't answer him. It just relaxed its stiff body a little, and after a moment of hesitation, it tentatively leaned its furry head on his shoulder.
Linno held the dog in his arms and carried the turtle on his shoulder. He took a step and disappeared without a trace.
*****
Half an hour later, listening to the sound of water splashing in the bathroom and feeling the rich and pure aura in the apartment, the little green-skinned turtle angrily tapped on the keyboard with its head. It was inexplicably sad and indignant. It was the first to follow him, but that stinky bird was more favored than it, that broken sword was more favored than it was, and now a random dog picked up from the street was more favored than it was! This was outrageous! Preposterous!
Linno hugged a pillow and lay comfortably on the sofa at the side. The black dog he picked up was taking a bath in the bathroom, and the female celebrity with a ponytail was singing on the TV. It wasn't the first time Linno listened to her song, but it was the first time he felt that her voice was very beautiful. It was full of energy and sonorous, mixed with a faint hoarseness, and had a different kind of charm.
The aura in the surroundings started to flow like water. At first, it was like a breeze blowing on the surface of the water, then it gradually became turbulent, and finally, it was as if it was crazily swallowed by an invisible vortex. Linno glanced at the bathroom, which had been quiet for a long time, and with a slight thought, the already rich aura in the apartment increased again.
In the end, he flicked his finger and hit the little tortoise that was about to smash his computer with its head. He was both angry and amused. If this tortoise was like that guy, who only needed enough spiritual energy to improve his cultivation, would he be stingy with this little bit of spiritual energy? Besides, in his original world, the aura was more than a hundred times denser than here.
The doorbell rang, and Linno got up to open the door. A somewhat familiar young man in a yellow uniform stood outside the door with a smile on his face. "Mr. Lin, is it? Please sign for your express purchase in the same city. "
Linno took the paper bag and put it aside. He smiled and said, "It was very fast."
He took the pen and paper and was about to sign when the young man reminded him, "Don't you want to check the goods first? If you're not satisfied, you can directly refuse to accept it. It can save you a lot of trouble. "
There was actually a delivery man who persuaded people to refuse to sign. Linno smiled and shook his head. "No need."
The young man took the signed form and said hesitantly, "Have we … seen each other somewhere before?"
He subconsciously felt that this ridiculously handsome man was a bit familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. However, his reason told him that if he had seen such a handsome man before, he definitely wouldn't have forgotten him. However, he just couldn't remember at all.
Linno smiled and said, "We've seen each other before. Yesterday, when you were catching the thief, I was next to you, but you ran too fast, so you probably didn't notice me."
The young man touched his head and laughed a little embarrassedly. He waved goodbye.
Linno nodded. Just as he was about to close the door, he saw the young man turn around. He was slightly surprised. "En?"
The young man said, "I forgot to ask just now. Do you have any trash to throw away? I'll take it down for you, so you don't have to make another trip."
Linno smiled and thanked him. Sure enough, he took out a bag of trash from the kitchen. The young man took it and slightly raised the bag. He smiled embarrassedly. "That … five points?"
Linno made an OK gesture and said with a smile, "Five points."
The young man waved his hand in satisfaction and left. "Thanks, bro!"
Linno closed the door, unpacked the clothes in the bag, tore off the tags, and put them at the door of the bathroom. He turned around and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. He happened to see the young man throwing the trash downstairs and bending over to clean up the scattered things around the trash bin. So, he smiled slightly and flicked a small coin out of the floor-to-ceiling window silently.
The young man cried out and jumped up while touching the back of his head. "Who? Who hit me? Which little brat is so immoral! Do you believe that I won't spank you? "
He turned his head and looked around, but couldn't find the "murderer" and "weapon." He muttered a few more words and resentfully rode his electric scooter to the next station.
"Master!" Little Turtle jumped out, unwilling to be left out. "He called you a little brat and said that he would spank you … that!"
Linno grunted. "So?"
Little Turtle raised his "fist". "So you should teach him a lesson and let that kid know how powerful you are! Let him be unlucky for a lifetime, no, ten lifetimes. Let him drink cold water up his windpipe and eat instant noodles with only seasoning packets! "
This brat is actually better at flattery than me. He's already like this when he doesn't know my identity. What will happen when he knows? I have to nip the danger in the bud! I've already fallen out of the top three in my master's mind. I absolutely can't let anyone cut the line anymore!
Linno was too lazy to pay attention to it. Jinjiang123 was about to continue when it suddenly heard movement behind it. When it looked back, its body stiffened and it quietly retracted its head into its shell. Oh my God, why is it that fiend …
Linno didn't look back and said, "How did you get yourself into such a mess?"
He lost all his cultivation and became a dying old dog in the trash bin. Moreover, it was a dog with no cultivation talent at all. If he didn't take action, even with Fang Tuo's ability, he could only struggle for a few more days … His memory disappeared in the reincarnation, and thousands of years of cultivation turned into nothingness.
Fang Tuo shrugged and said, "There's always a price to pay for illegal immigration."
It was already not easy to travel in the world created by the same god, not to mention that after forcibly breaking free from the reincarnation, he broke into another god's territory. It was not easy to stay alive and see him.
Linno was silent for a moment and said, "I'll kill you, okay?"
Instead of being entangled for a hundred lifetimes, it's better for me to kill you.
Killing you will be my revenge for the time when you hurt me.
After killing you, you will be reincarnated, and your memory will dissipate. There will no longer be an inner demon that will trap you for thousands of years. Then, I will give you luck and help you become a god. It will be my revenge for you giving up your godhood.
In this way, the grievances will be resolved.
Fang Tuo bent down and poured two glasses of red wine. He handed one to Linno and drank the other, saying, "Of course you can kill me, but I can also resist."
Since he did not agree, Linno naturally would not really kill him. Otherwise, he would not have saved him, let alone asked him.
After drinking a mouthful of wine, Linno did not say the vulgar "why bother". After playing with the wine glass for a while, he said, "I don't want to lie to you or to lie to myself. Actually, I am happy to see you."
Fang Tuo looked at Linno's face and did not say a word.
Linno said, "Maybe I just want to have someone by my side to walk with me. Maybe I'm just … used to having you by my side."
Zhang Jian, who held him in the palm of his hand at first sight, Fang Wei, who depended on him and fought side by side, and many people who accompanied or passed by him along the way …
"I know."
"Maybe I'll never be able to give you what you want."
"I know."
So the business was finished. Linno also drank the wine and said, "Don't you still owe me an apology?"
Fang Tuo readily said, "I'm sorry."
Linno raised his eyebrows, "If we meet again …"
"You …" Fang Tuo did not blurt out the answer directly this time. For the first time, he looked away from Linno's face and said, "Why don't you choose to kill me in advance?"
Even if he had to do it again, he still did not know how to choose. He was like those mortals whose loved ones were terminally ill. They knew that every minute and every second of their loved ones' lives was torture, but they did everything they could to let them live. Even if that person begged for relief, they were not willing to let them disappear from the world.
He knew that this was selfish, but even if he had to do it again, he still did not know if he could maintain his rationality and be "selfless".
Linno was silent. He knew that although this person went against his will, he never intended to humiliate him. This was also the reason why he did not continue to pester him after the passage of time.
After all, it was a matter of several lifetimes ago.
"I'm hungry. Why don't we go out for a midnight snack?"
The topic changed too quickly. Fang Tuo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My cooking skills are not bad."
"I'm not a cat now. Don't cook the food so bland."
"Although you're not a cat now, I'm a dog. If I eat too salty, I'll lose my fur."
"…"
The little turtle rolled its eyes in its shell.
*****
While the two of them were discussing whether to eat cat food or dog food for supper, the deliveryman, who had finally finished his last job of the day, lay on the bed, relaxed, and stretched himself. After lying in bed for a while, he jumped up, rubbed his hands, and turned on his precious second-hand computer. He grinned and said, "Hehe, Brother Xiao, I'm here again. Weaklings, are you ready to give me your heads?"
Although it was a second-hand computer, its performance was not bad. It finished booting in 40 seconds. The courier, Brother Xiao, moved the mouse and clicked on the familiar icon on the desktop. After the exciting opening animation, Brother Xiao, who was ready to do a big job, was suddenly stunned. What is this? Is it a virus? Or did I click on it wrong?
No, I didn't click on it wrong. The opening animation was just playing! Damn, it must be a virus. Free anti-virus software is useless! Turn it off and start again!
But … where is that charming Little Eight Fork hidden? Despicable, too despicable!
Holy sh * t! I don't believe it! You think I won't be able to do anything if you hide the close button? Humph, are you afraid that I'll restart it? When it's restarted, I'll be the first to delete you!
After struggling for a full ten minutes, Brother Xiao was completely at his wit's end. The computer turned on and off normally. All the buttons were normal, but as soon as it was turned on, it was the hooligan software that occupied the entire screen. As for the desktop, what was that?
Brother Xiao's computer skills were very average. He only had two moves, shutdown and restart, and the task manager. When these two moves were used up, he was at his wit's end. Forget it, I'll fix it tomorrow!
But the feeling of not being able to eat chicken after finally being free was simply a hundred claws scratching at his heart. After messing around for a while without any results, Brother Xiao raised his hands in surrender. Anyway, it was already like this. No matter how bad it was, it couldn't be that bad. Helplessly, he pressed the only button on the screen — "Confirm".
A simple and crude image that made one's hair stand up appeared. Two lines of big words without any sense of beauty appeared in the middle. "Congratulations on being hit by a golden finger that fell from the sky. Please choose the type of golden finger."
Below were a few buttons: "System Big Brother", "Portable Grandpa", "Plane Exchange System", "Heaven-Defying Pet".
"Vulgar, too vulgar!" Brother Xiao commented and casually clicked on the last one. The page changed and a sentence popped up: Please choose a pet.
There were still four options: "Nagging and useless broken sword", "Idiotic and childish roast chicken", "Lame Bald Old Dog", "Super Invincible, Omnipotent Master Tortoise".
What was going on, a sword and roast chicken counted as pets? It wasn't easy to get a dog, but it was lame and bald? Normal people would choose a tortoise! But! According to reverse psychology, the more obvious the answer, the more wrong the choice! But, but! According to reverse psychology, everyone would think this way. No one would choose a tortoise. That tortoise was a hidden Easter egg!
Brother Xiao was thinking about all kinds of nonsense, but in fact, he didn't hesitate to choose the fourth option.
"Ding! Your pet is on its way. Please check."
*****
In the villa, the exhausted green-skinned tortoise flipped itself over and laid on the coffee table with its four legs facing the sky. It thought of the system that it had painstakingly completed, but Linno had actually given it to that stinky brat and bootlicker. It felt extremely unbalanced. Biased! Love the new and hate the old! Unfair! I let him be the main character just because I took out your trash once. Then, wouldn't my credit be enough to make me a god? I'll change the system later and give that stinky brat a mission to do a striptease on the streets …
Suddenly, a whirlpool appeared out of thin air beside it. The green-skinned tortoise was stunned for a while before it began to scold, "Idiot! Stupid pig! You didn't graduate from primary school, right? Anyone with a brain wouldn't choose a pet as a golden finger. Even if you choose a pet, that broken sword, that stinky bird, and that big demon, you can choose any one of them … "
Before it could finish scolding, the whirlpool had already sucked it in.
"Master, Master, save me. I don't want to be that stupid pig's pet …"
