With a burst of white light, Xu Cheng appeared in a small, dark and narrow room.
He found himself lying on a small broken bed. He could smell the clear smell of blood in his nose, and there was also a clear feeling of pain in his body.
injured?
Xu Cheng sat up from the bed in surprise and found that the chest of his clothes was stained red with blood. He picked up the clothes and saw that his chest was tied with a thick bandage by an intern who graduated from a veterinary hospital, but even The bandage was also stained red with blood.
In addition to the injuries to his chest, there were many scrapes and contusions on other parts of his body.
Xu Cheng untied the bandage on his chest, and a terrifying and hideous wound appeared on his chest, with blood still flowing out.
He checked it without changing his expression and found that it was a cut with a sharp weapon. The wound was from the shoulder to the ribs, and almost cut the entire chest diagonally.
If such a serious injury is not sent to the hospital for treatment quickly, even if he does not die, he will be completely disabled if he survives.
Xu Cheng was not nervous. When he was doing ability card tasks before, he was imprisoned for half a year.
Now when it comes to a seriously injured person, there is nothing surprising.
Xu Cheng subconsciously wanted to switch back to his original body, but found that he couldn't.
He suddenly had bad thoughts in his mind and hurriedly opened the attributes.
[Character card: ability user]
[Talent: King of Lust (Effect Reduced)]
[Chaos Energy Level 5: Thunder (Disabled)]
[Task restrictions, other abilities cannot be used temporarily]
"Blank!"
Xu Cheng immediately cursed, just like the previous mission to rescue Bai Yuelin, most of his abilities were disabled, and he couldn't even restore his body, nor could he enjoy the power blessing of his body.
At this moment, the manager's prompt sounded suddenly.
[Task begins]
[You only have five chances to come back, please cherish it]
[As a collateral descendant of the Violet family, please establish a foothold in the Violet family and become Evelyn.vt. Grant's bodyguard. Gain her trust without being suspected. If the existence of the task manager is exposed , the task is deemed to have failed]
[Please take the guard exam]
[Connector code: In which country does Spongebob go to school]
It's obviously a one-man mission, but in the end, the contact code is still needed. The dog manager is hopeless on the road to becoming the little bully of the contact.
Xu Cheng complained in his mind, and then a wave of memories poured into his mind.
The Violet family is located in a small border town in the Nordic mountains. They have lived in seclusion in the suburbs for generations. They are a mysterious and powerful family that coexists.
The Violet family is divided into the direct line and the collateral line. The direct blood relatives are naturally powerful, but their number is rare, while the collateral blood relatives are large in number, but as weak as an ordinary person. They must be carefully taught to activate the power contained in the blood.
Therefore, the Violet family has a rule that they will select some school-age children from the collateral line to be raised intensively, and then through assessment and selection, the outstanding individuals will be selected and sent to the direct descendants for education and training.
Xu Cheng's current name is Archer Grant, and he is a collateral descendant of the Violet family. He was selected to be raised by the direct family at the age of six, and it has been nine years now.
Archer Grant did not have a good life during these nine years because he was a mixed-race child. His mother was a direct descendant of Violet and his father was an Asian. Therefore, he was reduced to a sideline after birth, even because of his mixed-race. , the status is even lower than that of ordinary collaterals.
His parents passed away when he was young. Due to his mother's dying wish, he was selected to be raised in a centralized institution. However, he was bullied because of his mixed race. He had a weak and low self-esteem and was not good at speaking.
But the serious injuries on his body were another matter.
Archer Grant had a childhood sweetheart, and they made an appointment to pass the selection together. As a result, the childhood sweetheart was recently selected in advance by a direct line member and became the other party's bodyguard and concubine.
Archer Grant thought his childhood sweetheart was being forced, so he ran to find her in the middle of the night and wanted to elope with her, but he was seriously injured when the other party called his guards.
The assessment and selection will be held in a week. Those who cannot pass the selection will be kicked out of the family and left to fend for themselves.
After digesting the memory, Xu Cheng almost vomited: "Dog Management, have you been secretly secreting it recently?"
He actually chose the typical starting point for him, a good-for-nothing who was betrayed by his childhood sweetheart.
[A miserable life is beneficial to struggle]
"Kufou is a ghost. Now no one believes that Koufu has changed his destiny. Hurry up and change it for me. I will be a direct eldest son who is just waiting to die."
The dog manager didn't say a word, determined to let Xu Cheng continue this miserable start.
Xu Cheng's protest was ineffective, so he had to bandage the wound again. He found a mirror beside the bed and took it to take a look at himself.
The face in the mirror was pale, with chapped lips and bloodshot eyes. Even so, it could not cover up his outstanding appearance.
However, this face is clearly the fifteen-year-old version of the ability card. No wonder he has to find an Asian father. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why a minion appeared among a group of white people in the Violet family.
The mission requires Xu Cheng to first establish a foothold in the Violet family, and then find a way to become the bodyguard of the mission target Evelyn.vt. Grant and gain her trust.
If you want to gain a foothold, you have to avoid the assessment and selection in a week. Those who fail will be kicked out.
Xu Cheng looks seriously injured now. It is hard to say whether he can survive these two days, let alone participate in the assessment in a week.
Just as he was thinking about what to do, there was a slight knock on the closed door, accompanied by two cat meows.
Xu Cheng quickly reviewed his memory and figured out who was outside.
He lay back on the bed and asked in a weak voice: "In which country does Spongebob go to school?"
A small voice answered outside the door: "America, because there are so many holes in it."
The answer is correct.
Xu Cheng picked up a rope beside the bed and pulled it gently, and the door lock opened.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and a thin figure sneaked in, locked the door, and then came to the bed.
This is a fifteen-year-old white boy with a delicate appearance and many freckles on his cheeks.
His name is Colin Charles, Archer's only friend.
"Archer, are you feeling better? I brought you food."
Colin took out some bread and an apple from his body, placed them on the bedside, and then asked nervously: "Has anyone come to see you today?"
The reason why I ask this is because Archer's behavior of secretly meeting his childhood sweetheart in the middle of the night has seriously offended the direct blood descendant who chose her as his concubine.
The little wife met other men in the middle of the night. It would be embarrassing if word spread about it. However, collateral descendants had no human rights in the Violet family. Even if they were beaten to death, no one would avenge him.
Colin was afraid that the other party would send people to trouble Archer again, so he asked him to lock the door tightly and only open the door with a code.
Xu Cheng licked his chapped lips: "No..."
"That's good."
Colin breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "You should recover well. I will go back first and bring you food tomorrow."
"Wait a moment."
Xu Cheng called to Colin who was about to leave: "For the selection and assessment in a week, please help me sign up."
Colin was immediately frightened and raised his voice: "You are crazy. The person in charge of the assessment is Willy the Four-Handed Sword. He is Master Kyle's captain of the bodyguard. He will definitely kill you."
Master Kyle is the direct blood descendant who took away Archer's childhood sweetheart, and Willy, the four-handed sword, was the one who cut Archer that night.
"I know."
Xu Cheng shook his head: "But I would rather die in the battle than be driven away in despair like a dog."
"Archie..."
Colin said sadly: "You don't have to fight for that woman who dislikes poverty and loves wealth."
He also thought that Xu Cheng insisted on participating in the selection because of his childhood sweetheart.
Xu Cheng corrected: "I'm not doing it for her, I'm doing it for myself."
Colin was slightly startled: "For yourself?"
"That's right!"
Xu Cheng showed a determined expression: "Aren't they always calling me a bastard? I want to prove to everyone that bastards are the strongest. Who says mixed-bloods can't be compared to pure-bloods?"
Qing Ling Ai Ai is too unqualified. If he wants to gain a foothold in the Violet family, he has to shout a loud slogan.
The battle between pure blood and mixed blood is good. If Archer's memory is correct, there are quite a lot of mixed bloods in the Violet family.
Colin didn't expect Xu Cheng to say such words. He was stunned for a while and then said worriedly: "But your injury..."
Xu Cheng reached out and groped under the bed board, and soon found a hidden compartment, took out a small bag from it, and threw it to Colin.
"This is all my savings, Colin. Help me borrow some money from others, and then go to the vampire to buy some external wound medicine."
Colin opened the bag and found that it was filled with small bills, but they added up to a large amount of money.
These collateral children who are raised intensively can also get a little pocket money every month, but most of them are spent as soon as they get it. There are relatively few people like Archer who save.
There is a family doctor with superb medical skills in the Violet family. On the surface, he provides free medical treatment to everyone, but in fact, he only cares about money and not people. He is nicknamed a vampire.
After Archer was injured, he was sent to the clinic, but he didn't even see the doctor. He was only bandaged casually by the apprentice and left to die because he was a poor man who couldn't afford the medical bills.
Colin grabbed the bag in his hand tightly and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will bring you the medicine for your injuries."
He chatted with Xu Cheng for a while, and when he saw that he looked tired, he said goodbye and left. He also used some small props to lock the door so that it could not be opened from the outside.
After Colin left, Xu Cheng slowly sat up and began to eat to replenish his strength.
Now, he could only ask Colin to get some medicine to save his life, and try to regain his mobility in a week before participating in the assessment and selection, in order to avoid being kicked out of the Violet Family.
Time passed quickly, and it was the next day in a blink of an eye.
Colin, who took Xu Cheng's money to buy medicine, did not show up and did not bring him food.
On the third day, Colin still didn't show up.
"Could it be that guy Colin who ran away with my money?"
Colin's training performance was very poor. He had been ranked last for a long time, so he became friends with Xu Cheng, a mixed race. It was basically impossible to pass the assessment and selection.
It would be very possible if he took Xu Cheng's money and ran away without participating in the selection.
Xu Cheng, who was so hungry that his eyes were filled with stars, felt like a clown.
Shouldn't the development of the plot be that he participated in the assessment and selection with the help of his good friends, and passed all the tests to win the first place?
As a result, the good friend took the money and ran away before the plot even started.
If Colin didn't sign up for Xu Cheng before running away, wouldn't he be waiting in vain like a fool?
Looking at the mottled ceiling, Xu Cheng felt that he might need to commit suicide and start over.
This was the first time he encountered such an embarrassing task.
Before Xu Cheng could commit suicide, there was suddenly a very urgent knock on the door, which seemed very impatient.
Xu Cheng came to his senses and used the rope to pull the door lock.
He was almost dead, so he didn't have to worry about whether the direct blood descendant named Kyle was sending trouble outside.
The door was pushed open roughly, and two people walked in, a well-dressed middle-aged man, and a girl carrying a medicine box.
Xu Cheng recognized at a glance that this middle-aged man was the family doctor nicknamed Vampire, Gerald Matt, and the girl next to him was an intern at his clinic.
Could it be that Colin invited this vampire over?
Xu Cheng rejected this idea. This vampire would only treat direct blood descendants. If he wanted to see a doctor, his descendants could only queue up at his clinic. Colin did not have the ability to invite him over.
But why did he come to this place?
Gerald disliked the environment in the room very much, frowned and slapped his nose.
The apprentice next to him came forward, opened the medicine box, took out scissors, cut off Xu Cheng's clothes and bandages, checked the wound, turned back to Gerald and said: "Teacher, the wound is a little suppurative, but the problem is not serious."
"Then help him do it, be serious."
Jerad warned, then turned and left, not even looking at Xu Cheng from beginning to end.
The apprentice took out tools from the medicine box, carefully cleaned Xu Cheng's wound, disinfected it, applied medicine, and then re-bandaged it. Finally, he even hung a bottle of glucose on him to supplement his nutrition.
Xu Cheng stared at the busy girl and asked, "Why did Dr. Gerald come to help me?"
The apprentice didn't want to answer at first, but after glancing at Xu Cheng's haggard and beautiful face, he hesitated for a moment and then said: "You have met a noble person, remember to thank him properly."
"Noble?"
In the Violet family, the only ones who can be called nobles are those who are direct blood descendants. Like the noble gentlemen, they still retain the traditions of the feudal era.
He has his own fief, his own guards and maids.
Xu Cheng frowned and thought, but in Archer's memory, he didn't know any noble person at all.
But the status of this noble man must be very high for vampires like Gerald to come and take a look in person.
After the apprentice finished bandaging, he was about to leave. Xu Cheng grabbed her delicate palm and said softly: "Sister, I'm so hungry now. Can you bring me some food? I'll borrow the money from you."
While speaking, he used his innate ability, King of Passion, to increase the girl's sympathy.
Although the effect is reduced by dog management, it should be no problem to use against ordinary people.
The girl blushed, gently broke away from Xu Cheng's hand, and hurried away with the medical kit.
Just when Xu Cheng thought that his beauty trick had failed, he saw the girl leaving and returning with a bag of food in her hand.
"No need for money, I'll pay you for it."
The girl put down the food with a blushing face, and told Xu Cheng to take a rest before turning around and leaving.
