MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 146 【Catch insects】
-【make a deal. 】
The moment he received Fang Xing's reply, Xu Tuoran directly took a picture of the phone on the table, shaking his head and ears triumphantly:
"Look, what I say. She's sure to agree."
system:"…"
System: "Although, is your provocative method far from the original plot?"
"Didn't you say that you can play freely?" Xu Tuoran stretched his shoulders and neck, and took off the little pink flower on his shoulders. The system fell silent for a moment, and let out a sigh:
"Don't tell me. You go and tell the death value panel. See if it counts as your fault."
As soon as the voice fell, the death value system beeped softly.
[Congratulations, you have gained a little death value. 】
system:"…"
Well, it should have thought of that earlier. After all, it's not a day or two since the death value system gave Xu Tueran money at every opportunity.
Since the death value system has given points, it means that this behavior has been judged to be effective. Although the system was speechless, it didn't say anything more. On the other end, Xu Tueran had already automatically started the next step with great interest.
Qu Mian's contact information, she doesn't have it here. But the pen of the pen fairy can be easily obtained. Xu Tuoran tried to add him as a friend, but before he could open his mouth, Qu Mian sent him a sentence: [Brother Xu is that right? 】
Xu Turan: ...
[How did you recognize it? 】Xu Turan was a little confused.
【Fang Xing has your WeChat account and showed it off to me. 】Qu Mian said honestly, 【Boss, what's the matter? Is it necessary to cooperate with the test again? 】
Xu Tuoran reckoned that what he was referring to should be the mental test of the person who experienced the strange event. After each event, depending on the mental state of the person involved, the actions taken by the person with the ability will be different, such as the awareness of waking up after sleeping. People with abilities exist and their status is relatively stable, so it is relatively convenient to deal with. Generally, it is enough to arrange a mental test regularly.
Xu Tuoran was vague, and quickly changed the topic, and sent a question to Qu Mian instead.
Qu Mian: [...? 】
[Starting today, I will send you a set of questions regularly. Do it if you are happy, and do it if you are not happy. 】Xu Tuoran typed the iconic line of unrequited love for a female supporting role in the dialogue box very seriously, 【You don't need to worry about the reason, this is what I want. 】
Crouching:...
He carefully read the title sent by Xu Tueran, paused for a while, and asked cautiously: [Boss, is this something I can watch for free? 】
Xu Tuoran: [Yes. 】
Qu Mian continued to be cautious: [Boss, don't you get some secret real questions and come here to leak the secrets secretly? You can't mess around with this, you will be arrested. 】
Xu Turan: ...
Xu Tuoran: 【No. Where do you want to go. 】
The real question handouts and teaching resources are all asked for by the assistant of the adoptive brother. The original owner took the college entrance examination last year, and has family support, and there are a lot of similar materials for supplementary lessons.
After listening to her assurance, Qu Mian felt relieved, and promised "Thank you, sir, I will not disappoint your kindness", while saving the question. Xu Tuoran stared at his last reply for a while, before Fang said uncertainly: "Stalking the male lead... Is this considered complete?"
The system let out a "huh", and the tone was not very sure. As for the death value system, there was no response at all.
If there is no prompt, it should be ignored?
Xu vainly felt confused. It was the system. After studying for a while, he said thoughtfully: "I think the stalking of the vicious female partner refers to unilateral entanglement."
Xu Tuoran suddenly realized, and hurriedly tapped on the phone to add: 【Add another rule. I send questions to me, and you don't have to reply. If you reply, the topic of the day will not be analyzed. 】
Qu Mian's reply came quickly, expressing her understanding and at the same time presenting a dog emoticon package: 【Received. Don't worry, boss, I will definitely study hard and won't waste time chatting! 】
Xu Tuoran:?
That's not what it means.
Just when she was thinking about whether to clarify, Qu Mian seemed to have remembered something, and immediately retracted that sentence - not only this sentence, but also the few sentences of the previous exchange, as long as he could retract it, he would also take it back. withdrawn.
After withdrawing, he asked again cautiously: [Boss, let me ask the last question. Can I share this question with Fang Xing? 】
...It seems that this silly boy doesn't know that he has been blocked.
With subtle sympathy, Xu Tuoran told him that it was okay, but at least wait until two weeks later. And kindly reminded him not to contact Fang Xing recently, so as not to suffer a spiritual blow.
Qu Mian: 【Oh, it's okay. We only talked when we were on vacation. Thanks again big man! I wish you and Yang Yuan a happy marriage for a hundred years, and good people have a safe life! 】
After speaking, he snapped back the two messages.
Xu Turan: ...
Come on, this silly boy can talk a lot.
She pursed her lips, and waited anxiously—if it wasn't too much this time, then she could just ask Qu Mian to delete her as a friend, and only post questions through friend applications in the future.
This is finally a one-sided stalking, right?
Fortunately, the death value system is still very considerate, after struggling for a while, I reluctantly added a little more death value to Xu Tuoran.
"It's done!" Xu Tuoran breathed a sigh of relief, "What's next?"
"Offending the big boss and provoking future villains." The system's tone was a little tired, "But these two can no longer be resolved by just calling."
"I don't have their phone number either." Xu Tuoran said indifferently, got up from the dining table, and while walking upstairs, he consciously looked through the latest key character information provided by the system - these should have followed the ceremony The advancement gradually fell, but now the progress is in a mess, and the system simply gives it all up.
However, what it can directly give is only key person information. Moreover, except for the original male and female protagonists, the life trajectory of other people is easy to change, so it is not 100% accurate.
While Xu Tuoran was studying other characters, the system spoke again, with a serious tone:
"By the way, there is one more thing I must remind you."
Xu Tuoran: "?"
"Except for the foreknowledge that you have already grasped the authority, you have not risen to the peak of the other tendencies." The system slowly said, "Plus, when you entered the box, you had escaped part of the power. These Most of the power has already been attributed to the upgrade space, and it cannot be taken back directly.
"In other words, there is actually a limit to the power you can get back directly through the death value system."
The so-called direct retrieval naturally refers to the number of walking steps given by the death value system. And the total number of steps it can give is probably only enough for her to upgrade to Chen in the tendencies of natural disasters, beasts, and long nights, and it may not be possible to upgrade all three tendencies to Chen.
And the rest can only be solved by Xu Tuoran himself.
"Order is not in this system because it comes from the ancient will. I don't know the specific situation. Changye can only return automatically after the ceremony is over, but there is also no full level, and you need to share upgrade resources with other tendencies. So you need to make up your own mind .The remaining steps are limited, which one should be promoted first, and which one should be promoted first, this has to be carefully considered." The system said.
If what they are facing is only the scattered Jianglin, then the situation may not be so urgent, and even some stars can wait until this round of cycle is over and the world is saved before continuing to seek; but now, considering that it is very likely There is an educator's projection, so it is very necessary to upgrade as soon as possible.
If you want to fight against the Educator, even if it's just a projection, it's definitely not enough to rely on a starlight. And how to get the starlight of the remaining tendencies as soon as possible, as well as the means and priorities of the acquisition, these are issues that need to be considered.
Xu Turan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, stood in front of the bedroom door thinking for a moment, and said leisurely: "It doesn't have to be a choice."
system:"?"
"Don't I still have a belief box?" Xu Tuoran said, "Through it, you can also collect steps."
"But it takes time to operate the box, doesn't it?" the system said, "This becomes a problem of time resource arrangement."
"...Indeed." Xu Tuoran's eyes turned slightly, and he pushed open the door in front of him—in the bedroom, her domain was still in operation. On the edge of the chair, support your chest with one hand.
"Speaking of which, when I stayed in Jiang Siyu's domain, I discussed some interesting issues with old man Jiang."
system:"??"
"Things that one brain cannot handle at the same time, if there are two brains at the same time, or more, then the problem will not be solved?"
Ignoring the confusion of the system, Xu Turan muttered to himself as if talking to himself, and his eyes suddenly turned to the side—the heart moved at will, and as her gaze fell, the flat wall next to her was suddenly covered by a long Hallway replaced. There are several rooms on both sides of the corridor, and the doors are similar to Xu Tuoran's bedroom door, and each door is tightly closed.
"..." The subtle sense of unease floated in the system's heart again, "Wait, what do you want to do?"
"Don't be nervous, it's just a try." Xu Tuoran said, stood up, grabbed a marker pen from the table, walked towards the corridor, and pushed open one of the doors, "Although I don't I don't know if it will work...but what if it does?"
system:…
It still doesn't know what Xu Tuoran wants to do. But it had an inexplicable premonition.
Sending lecture notes to the male and female protagonists, this is probably what Xu Tuoran did, and the last thing to make him feel heartbroken.
Another two days later.
"I still think your method is too risky." Under the bright sunshine, the system babbled in Xu Tuoran's mind, "Although upgrading is very important, your method is too outrageous..."
"It's not up to you whether to leave it or not. Besides, I've done everything, so I'll try the effect first." Xu Tuoran said impatiently, took out his phone and checked the time and place again, and stepped into the fast food in front of him. In the store, "Okay, don't talk about upgrading with me anymore. Now is the time to tinker with the ceremony. If you want to talk nonsense, wait until the work here is completed."
Hearing what she said, the system had no choice but to stop sullenly. As Xu Tuoran glanced around the fast food restaurant, it said with uncertainty: "Are you sure that person will be here?"
"Well, we can talk about it." Xu Tuoran responded in consciousness, ordering food while continuing to search with his eyes.
Xu Tuoran came here this time precisely to complete the third step in the ceremony - to offend a certain boss.
Strictly speaking, this plot should be "ignoring the advice of a big boss, and thus incurring the murderous intent of a certain monster, and thus falling into a terrible crisis."
Xu Tuoran checked the name of the big boss given by the system with a pen of the immortal pen, and confirmed that he was a member of the Tzu Chi Institute, but he couldn't find any contact opportunities for a while. In desperation, she could only try to contact Fang Ke.
Fang Ke has a high status in the Tzu Chi Institute, and because of the camphor forest, he also has a good impression of Xu Tuoran. Although she didn't know the specific purpose of Xu Tuoran looking for that person, she still operated secretly according to Xu Tuoran's wishes, and found an excuse to send him to a fast food restaurant outside, which created a rare opportunity for Xu Tuoran to make contact.
Apart from this paragraph, there are only two plots that Xu Tuoran needs to complete next, one is "to belittle a villain candidate, and thus incur a fatal disaster", and "to befriend the original hero's friend, and take it for himself." Its humiliation”—compared to the most difficult achievement of murder, followed by the male lead’s friend.
After all, Yang Buqi doesn't know where he is drifting at the moment, so he can only postpone it infinitely.
"Actually, this scene should not be his." When this matter was mentioned, the system was still muttering, obviously very dissatisfied, "His consciousness somehow replaced the original supporting role. He is stealing the scene."
It is estimated that because it is the last round, most of the ceremony has been completed, and Yang Buqi's own vitality is quite strong, so he, Xu Turan's companion, woke up earlier than Xu Turan.
But like Xu Tuoran, he woke up, but not fully awake. Instead of bringing any benefit to Xu Tuoran's ceremony, Su Xing hooked her further and further away—at least that's what the system firmly believed.
And why is it such a coincidence, there are tens of thousands of human beings in the world, and you just chose a male partner who will be betrayed by the original owner? Don't say it's a coincidence, I don't believe it.
Seeing that the system was about to make up a conspiracy drama, Xu Tuoran stopped immediately, and at the same time looked around, and finally saw a man in a long black trench coat with a torch badge in a corner of the fast food restaurant.
The system immediately called out, repeatedly saying that he was the only one. Xu Turan looked at the man's face carefully, but was dumbfounded.
The reason for the ignorance is simple.
First, she found out that he knew the person herself—when investigating Dahuaihua Middle School, Yang Buqi once handed over the targeted Qu Mian to a colleague. Later, the man was hit on the head by the demented Qu Mian.
And the one sitting in the corner of the fast food restaurant now is that one.
The second is the level.
"Are you serious?" She talked to the system through her consciousness, without concealing her shock, "Is this guy a big boss? He's only candle-level!"
Although Xu Tueran doesn't know everything, but he has reached this level, and he has somewhat the ability to evaluate the strength of others. Based on her perception, she can confirm that the one in front of her is dead candle level, and there can be no more.
The system is also very helpless: "For the original owner, the candle level is already a boss."
Who made you soar all the way so high. Those who were originally big guys have been made small by you.
Xu Tuoran: "..."
She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead: "Then do I still need to rely on him for the plot?"
System: "Yes."
Xu Tuoran: "Then you must rely on him to obtain information about that monster?"
System: "...not necessarily. But you have to ask, so you can get a little sideways."
Xu Tuoran: "So what is that monster? Is it okay to just pull an abomination to make up the number?"
System: "If you can make do with it, you've already completed the 'belittling the villain', okay? The designated object cannot be changed."
After speaking, it carefully flipped through the plot again, and reminded: "I've confirmed, that monster has a name. It's called 'Pure Love'. You can just ask about it later."
...what the **** is this name?
Xu Tuoran was speechless for a moment. How can there be such a crazy name in the world, just four words, insulting monsters and love at the same time.
"Don't ask me, I didn't call it that. This name was given by the capable person. But when it was named, it was not mentioned in the plot. Anyway, it was called this name before it was arrested."
"Arrested?" Xu Tuoran subconsciously asked.
"Well. According to the original plot line, the monster will be caught after the original owner's accident." The system said casually, "The original owner became the target of 'Pure Love' because of his obsessive love for the male lead. The original owner sneered at her when she was advised to adjust her mentality and avoid it. The result of ignoring the advice was that she was really attacked by 'Pure Love' and was scared to death..."
"Scared to death?" Xu Tuoran raised his eyebrows slightly.
"This part should be replaced by other strong emotions." The system sighed, looking worried like a math teacher with poor students, "Anyway, you should try hard when the time comes, if it doesn't work, let's think of another way."
Xu Tuoran: "..."
After all, this is something that needs to be considered in the future, Xu Tuoran didn't think much about it, and quickly turned his attention to the current matter.
She supported the wig on her head that reached to her waist and was specially used to cover her long ears. She took the apple pie and Coke she had ordered from the counter, thought about her opening remarks, and walked towards the man in the trench coat who was sitting alone.
"Hello." She greeted the other party, "What a coincidence, I saw you here. I don't know if you remember me, I am..."
"Xu Tuoran!" The man reacted quickly, and immediately pointed to the table in front of him, "Please sit down, please sit down. Of course I remember. How are you and Team Yang?"
"...?" Xu Furan, who was sitting on the chair just now, paused, "Captain Yang?"
"Yeah. I've heard about him before, it's so embarrassing." The man in the windbreaker shook his head, "I didn't actually believe that he would do that kind of thing. Fortunately, everything has been clarified now."
Oh, so it was about this... But why is it me and Yang Buqi?
Xu Tuoran didn't quite understand, so he casually said something, picked up the apple pie on the plate, but listened to the man: "Speaking of which hospital is Team Yang doing rehabilitation now? I was also taken care of by him a lot before, and I have the opportunity I would like to see him too.”
Xu Tuoran paused again: "...rehabilitation?"
"That's right. It doesn't mean that the whole lower body needs to be fitted with artificial limbs..." The man in the windbreaker continued to sigh, "It must be very difficult for you to study and work while taking care of him at the same time?"
Xu Tuoran: "...take care of??"
"I know, Team Yang must be very difficult now." The man in the windbreaker pursed his lips, "By the way, have you talked about elopement with your family? If you have the support of your family, it will be much easier for this kind of thing."
...and elope? ? ?
Xu vainly fell into silence. The system in my mind also fell silent.
After a while, I heard it say in an erratic tone: "This colleague Yang Buqi... The script he took seems to be even more outrageous than yours."
"Before I came back, what did the two of you do to disrepute the public, that the rumors could be so distorted?"
Those who didn't know it thought it was an outdated eight o'clock bitter tearjerker script in which the man bears the burden of humiliation, the physically disabled and the woman are gentle and tenacious.
"Shut up. You don't know what the two of us did." Xu Tuoran said something in his mind, but he was also puzzled.
About Yang Buqi being framed before, she got follow-up from both Fang Ke and Pu Han. To put it simply, after Fang Ke returned to the Tzu Chi Institute, he united with other people to clarify for Yang Buqi, and tried his best to prove his innocence. Therefore, the Tzu Chi Institute's pursuit of Yang Buqi has long been lifted.
However, because Fang Ke was not aware of the safety of the personnel in the Tzu Chi Institute at the time, she did not tell her experience in the camphor forest, but used her divination ability to prove Yang Buqi's innocence. As for the reason for clarifying for Yang Buqi, she only said that she met this junior on the way back and got some help. After the exchange, she felt the need to speak for him, that's all.
In fact, just looking at this rhetoric is not completely convincing. But with the evidence of other high-level ability users who also left the camphor forest, and Pu Han helping to speak, this matter is so settled.
...Therefore, Xu Tuoran didn't understand how the rumors could develop into this.
Based on some kind of indescribable curiosity, she began to consciously inquire about this matter. While speaking, he also opened the package of the apple pie in his hand. But listen listen...
She couldn't eat anymore.
—The source of this matter is simple to say.
Although Fang Ke didn't mention it in the group, she actually mentioned herself when she explained the situation in the camphor forest to the senior officials of the Tzu Chi Institute.
And how should I put it... Fang Ke didn't know that she and Yang Buqi were not actually together.
So when she mentioned them, she used the term "little couple" in passing.
Then others took it for granted that the two of them got together after Yang Buqi was framed. Isn't the plot of never leaving and never giving up already in place? Moreover, he eloped from city A to city F along the way, so to speak.
In addition, when Fang Ke described Yang Buqi's state, in order to play the sympathy card, he deliberately described it in a miserable way. In order to reduce the hostility of human beings towards him, some ambiguous words are also used. For example, "lost the original lower body", "it seems difficult to recover for a while" and so on...
Nor is it a lie. But if these words fall into the ears of people who don't know the truth, there will be more room for imagination.
Finally, Xu Tuoran is not unknown at the Tzu Chi Institute. Those who are close to her know that she quit the Charity Institute in order to continue her studies and inherit her family business...
Dude, the last element, complete.
Xu Tuoran was amazed at the brain power of the people, and the system was equally amazed, and took the opportunity to give her a lesson:
"See, this is the ritual effect I hope to achieve! Even if the truth is thousands of miles away, it's enough to explain it together!"
"Then you didn't ask me to deliver handouts to Fang Xing before!" Xu Tuoran said inwardly, then turned to look at the man in front of him.
Now that the origin of the gossip is almost clear, Xu Tuoran didn't waste any more time, resisting the urge to complain in her heart, and turned around to inquire about the "pure love" - but to be honest, she didn't really know what to do. Not much hope.
After all, it would be a year before the original main body would encounter the attack of "Pure Love", which means that most of this thing has not yet appeared in the field of vision of the capable person. Moreover, the level of the man in the windbreaker in front of him is only candle level, and there should be relatively little information that can be accessed.
To inquire about it is just going through the motions. Xu Tuoran also kept an eye on it, and only said that it was an abomination that Yang Buqi saw through his precognitive ability—so even if the deity has not yet appeared in the world, it is completely justified.
Unexpectedly, the man in the windbreaker gave an "eh" after listening.
"Pure love. I know this." The man in the windbreaker said, "I've heard it before. Hasn't that abominable thing been taken to the Renxin Yuan?"
…
Xu Tuoran was taken aback: "...Huh?"
The man in the windbreaker nodded: "Ah."
The system went crazy: "Ah??!"
"How come you have already gone to Renxinyuan!" It was so anxious that it flipped through the relevant plots in Xu Turan's mind, "Isn't it too early? And it stands to reason that most of the main force of Renxinyuan at this time has been taken over by Plum Blossom Apartment. I'm locked up with the shadow of dancing, and I don't have time to deal with it... ah."
As if realizing something, the system suddenly shut up.
At the same time, Xu Tuoran also figured it out. His eyes wandered for a moment, and he took a sip of Coke in a concealed manner.
Hidden merit and fame.
