"Everyone's time is precious, so there's no need to test each other anymore, XR0037."
Ling Yao paused while squeezing the cup, and the coffee in the cup swirled and poured onto his wrist.
The smile on Li Jiaheng's face widened a bit. When meeting a "colleague", he has always been good at using the high-level authority of his system to catch the other person off guard and gain a psychological advantage.
My identity in this world is not ideal. Once I have a direct conflict with the protagonist, I am likely to be offline quickly, and I will be unable to continue to promote the development of the plot and complete the "ending HE" task. Although he is not as keen on "saving the world" as "those people", once the mission fails, the system will collapse, and he will usher in real "death".
It was already unlucky enough to be picked and "played as a villain" without any end, but it would be too miserable to die in a muddle.
In this case, he suddenly found a "colleague" with a relatively advantageous status, and of course he wanted to win over him as much as possible.
High-level systems can view task records of low-level systems. The system shows that XR0037 has currently experienced only 11 worlds. Compared to a person who has experienced 57 worlds, he is just a "newbie". He didn't expect XR0037 to completely obey his senior. As long as the other party can help him complete the task and achieve a win-win situation, he will not hesitate to teach and pass on his mission experience to the other party.
Give him a stick first, then give him some sweetness. This method is always versatile.
"XR0037, is this the twelfth world you have experienced? Although you have successfully completed the set goals given by the system in every previous world, this is your first time experiencing a modern city, right?
"In fact, the settings of each world are different, and the types of protagonists are also very different. Like the worlds you have experienced, the protagonists are mostly positive, and they are even hypocrites. But the protagonists in the modern urban background are not The same, both good and evil, uncertain, selfish, and ever-changing. Are you sure you can still deal with such an opponent?
"I have experienced 57 worlds. Except for one or two worlds that got HE endings by luck, the others are the results of hard work. I have been exposed to all types of stories. I have more experience than you. As long as you are willing to talk to me Cooperation will not only allow us to better complete the tasks in this world, but I can also pass on my valuable experience to you..."
However, before he could finish his words, Ling Yao, who looked a little dazed just now, seemed calm and calm at the moment, not even looking at him:
"Waiter? Can you give me a towel? Come on."
"Okay, okay! This guest, please wait a moment!"
The waiter who was standing aside waiting to be dispatched immediately came forward with a wet towel and handed it to Ling Yao respectfully.
Ling Yao thanked him in a low voice, took the towel slowly, wiped it on his wrist, and asked casually:
"I'm sorry. I was distracted and didn't hear what you just said."
Taskers cannot disclose casual information to ordinary people in this world. With outsiders present at this moment, Li Jiaheng's words stuck in his mouth, and he could only swallow them back.
Li Jiaheng didn't answer, but it seemed that he was following Ling Yao's expectations. Without waiting for his answer, Ling Yao continued:
"However, I will just say one thing first. Sincerity and interests are important, but for me, what is more important is the plan, the plan. Otherwise, it will be like those telecom scammers who called me and told me that financial products are sold starting at 1 million, with an interest rate of 10 % or more, the more you buy, the more you get, and there are also experts who provide financial management solutions... These are all fake and empty, and people have no interest in listening to more than two sentences."
After saying that, Ling Yao slowly returned the towel to the waiter, indicating that he could leave.
Li Jiaheng's expression remained unchanged, but his heart went up and down many times. This new "colleague" seems a bit arrogant.
However, only those who have the ability are qualified to be proud. And he also needs capable people as partners.
"It seems that you don't trust me and have your own ideas. It doesn't matter. Trust can be built up slowly. I will use actions to prove that cooperation with me is the best choice. But accordingly...at that time , you also need to prove your worth."
Ling Yao was noncommittal about this. Although his eyes fell on the other party, his movements of picking up the quilt and coffee were not vague at all. After taking a sip, he asked:
"How are you going to prove it?"
"Urban fantasy is nothing more than three lines of medical skills, upgrading of force, and harem recruitment. Medical skills are too professional for a layman like me to get involved; force is too dangerous, and people like you who have no cultivation and no power can't do anything. If you make a mistake, you may lose your life at any time. We will not interfere with each other in these two lines. If necessary, we can ask the other party for help. Only the last one is worthy of two people working together."
Ling Yao showed a slightly puzzled expression at the right time, which made Li Jiaheng very satisfied. He continued:
"It's very simple, just start with the protagonist's 'woman'. It is the easiest to inspire the protagonist's fighting spirit, and it is also the most convenient to greatly promote the development of the plot."
"Start with...?"
Ling Yao repeated the other person's words and couldn't help but frown.
He is not a clueless novice. He already knows all the ways that villains in urban novels deal with the protagonists from Tucao Ya. The most unsolvable one is the woman who touches the protagonist.
Not to mention criminal attempts such as kidnapping a woman, but also forced engagement, stalking, and high-profile pursuits regardless of the other person's wishes, etc., will be directly hammered by the protagonist to the point where the mother doesn't even recognize her. This was the flag he needed to avoid the most, and he was crazy to get into trouble like this.
And more importantly, not to mention that the protagonist's behavior is low by dealing with innocent people, simply doing this to a woman has already exceeded his moral bottom line.
Ling Yao remained calm on his face, but he had quietly eliminated the option of cooperating with the other party in his mind. Also, since they are from the same organization, I am afraid that Li Jiaheng and Ling Xingran, like them, treat these "ordinary people" and "NPCs" not as truly equal human beings, but as characters who can be manipulated. The moral concepts of human society are naturally difficult to restrain them.
However, Li Jiaheng obviously did not know these thoughts of Ling Yao. The more confused Ling Yao appears, the more he seems to prove his worth:
"It seems that you rarely use this method because of the moral psychological burden? You know, with the support of the protagonist's aura, those women will not really get into trouble.
"In order to complete the task better, it's okay to do something a little out of the ordinary. Don't act as if you have never killed anyone in the fantasy world. Having a strong sense of morality is not a good thing for people like us. Forget it, specifics Operation, just wait for my news, I will let you see my strength."
Li Jiaheng knows how to use discretion and keep people appetizing. After saying a few words, he took out the business card from his suit jacket pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it in Ling Yao's direction.
"Contact information. Don't treat my text messages as spam and miss the opportunity to witness."
Ling Yao picked up the business card playfully, turned it over both sides, and then put it into his windbreaker pocket:
"Okay. Hopefully it's not that bad."
There seemed to be no more topics to chat about, so the two exchanged a few casual words. Li Jiaheng "considerately" bought the order first, and then said goodbye to Ling Yao with a confident smile. Although he didn't know what was worth rushing to pay for a coffee worth tens of dollars, Ling Yao still accepted the other party's "kindness" and responded politely but unfamiliarly. It wasn't until Li Jiaheng got into the car driven by the driver that he realized He breathed a long sigh of relief.
God knows how panicked he was just arguing with the other party. Isn’t the amount of information today too great?
The system permissions Ling Xingran "passed" to him were incomplete. Not to mention seeing any information about the other party, even tasks, plot summaries and other related functions cannot be used normally. Li Jiaheng's "colleague" suddenly fell from the sky, which destined him to be at an intelligence disadvantage from the beginning.
Although he was already prepared to "pretend to the end" when he went to the appointment, when he actually faced someone who had the same "system authority" as Ling Xingran, not to mention how dangerous it would be to be discovered as a "fake", it was simply a matter of face to face. For a person who was likely to be similar to Ling Xingran, he couldn't guarantee that he could adjust his mood.
But when he actually met Li Jiaheng, although he was a little nervous, Ling Yao was unexpectedly relaxed.
Even if they are people who want to use him to achieve their goals in a roundabout way, not to mention Li Jiaheng's rank, the biggest reason why Ling Xingran can leave such a big shadow on Ling Yao is not because the other party has the ability to "know the development of the plot" and other extraordinary abilities. The ability of common sense, but the gap and pain caused by the betrayal of the family affection and trust that Ling Yao had put in for more than 20 years.
But then again, Li Jiaheng didn't know that he was not the real "XR0037", so he had no scruples in his words. Instead, Ling Yao got a lot of unexpected information at once.
For example, the people who own the "system" are not in a hostile relationship, but are likely to belong to the same organization, so there is still a basis for cooperation even if they do not know each other.
Another example is that the "system" is not just a "plug-in", but an auxiliary tool for them to complete the "task". The content of the task is: push the plot development and achieve the "HE ending".
This was somewhat different from his previous speculation. He always thought that the protagonist's HE ending was a "destiny" that the villain could not overturn. But it turned out that they, the "destined villains", were the ones who wanted the protagonist's HE the most, and even helped it happen?
But thinking about it, this "hope" is probably forced. Otherwise, Ling Xingran would not have tried every means to create a substitute to escape the "fate" that came with possessing the "system".
In addition, although Li Jiaheng did not say it explicitly, his desire to complete the "mission" was very strong, and something seemed to be driving him to do so. This also confirms that Ling Xingran had already used the Holy Spring of Liuchuan to "create" Ling Yao, but only transferred the authority to him at this critical moment on the eve of his duel with Ling Linhan, and then left the world of Mang Sheng. It must have been either hesitation or Sympathy, but so that the "mission" can be completed.
...It seems that in order to find out Ling Xingran's true purpose, find the other party's weaknesses, and grasp the other party's weaknesses, he must understand the organization behind the other party and the secrets of the "system" itself.
Li Jiaheng is a good clue. He had to use it carefully.
However, what he needs to worry about now is...
"Teacher, you are not really here..."
"Nonsense! I'm already on the train and I'm almost at the station! Why, are you starting to feel guilty now? It's too late!"
Ling Yao pushed the coffee cup out, holding the phone in one hand and pressing his temple with the other:
"No, teacher...Oh, are you at the South Station or the East Station? I'll pick you up."
"What are you going to do? You won't be working during your internship!"
"I have something to do today and have already asked for leave."
"!! Why should I ask for leave when I have nothing to do!! So free!! You are not thinking about becoming a doctor now, are you!!"
The old man on the other end of the phone seemed to be even more angry. There was also the sound of banging the table on the microphone, and the stewardess's "Please keep your voice down, so as not to affect other passengers' rest" and "Please don't slap the small table again." warn.
Ling Yao immediately got scared and couldn't refute: He has so many things on his mind now, and he really can't focus on being a doctor...
"Oh, don't worry, it's not easy for the flight attendants. Just tell me which station. I've already asked for leave... It's the peak tourist season. Have you booked a hotel in advance? If not, just stay at my house temporarily. Oh, by the way, what time does the train arrive? Is it still too late for me to get there now?"
The old man muttered a few more words, and seemed to finally give in under the attack from both sides of the flight attendant and the students. Then he reported the station name and arrival time, and then said a few non-deterrent words such as "Just wait for me". He said harsh words and hung up the phone angrily.
Ling Yao calculated the time. He wanted to pick up someone from here. It was almost time to leave now. He walked out of the coffee shop, looked at the old bicycle without a back seat that he had ridden, and shook the keys in his hand blankly.
Hmm...otherwise, he should just grab some yellow bread, right?
…
"Mom, why is that grandpa holding on to that brother's ear?"
"It's because that brother is disobedient. Didn't your father also pull your ears when you secretly ate sweets?"
The woman patted the child's schoolbag and signaled him not to stay.
However, the child's attention had obviously been attracted by those two people. Even when he walked forward, he walked slowly and kept looking back at them:
"Well...but that one, it looks so painful...it didn't hurt that much when dad grabbed me..."
However, before he could finish his words, an energetic old man's voice suddenly came from behind:
"Did you hear that? What are you pretending to be! I didn't try hard at all!! Even the children can't stand it!!"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, it hurts even if you don't use any force. You've been the only one who has pulled my ears since I was a child. How do I know how hard others have pulled me? Ouch, you're trying harder!"
"Go, go, go, go..."
The woman realized that the two people had heard the conversation between herself and the child, and she suddenly became embarrassed. She picked up the child and ran away.
"snort."
Yu Huisheng shook off his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and asked,
"Where's the car? Didn't I say it was coming?"
"It's over there."
As soon as Ling Yao put his finger over, Yu Hui suddenly hit him on the head:
"Taxi!? Then you have to pick me up! You tell me your address and I can call a taxi myself!"
"I'll pay for what I asked..."
Ling Yao felt aggrieved. Yu Huisheng was just looking for trouble out of anger.
But who calls someone else his mentor? Graduate tutor, writing tutor, and boss. When your boss gets angry, what else can you do besides suffer?
After finally coaxing the old man all the way home, Yu Huisheng began to look disgusted at the three-bedroom apartment on the second ring road that Ling Yao bought for free from Nan's house. He pointed at Ling Yao as if he had spent the first twenty years of his life. His life was considered to be in vain, so he stretched out his hand reluctantly and said:
"Okay. Give me the materials and cases. What about improving the body's internal circulation to enhance the physical fitness of the whole people, a new discussion on the human body's circulatory system... It sounds like metaphysics. You shouldn't expect that a dozen pages of the proposal report will be able to explain it. Should I send it away?"
Ling Yao saw Yu Huisheng relaxed and immediately ran into the study with a smile on his face. Yu Huisheng shook his head and sighed. This student was too worry-free, but he didn't expect that he would be "rebellious" just before graduation, catching him off guard.
But what else can be done? He has this ability and is determined to switch to research. As a teacher, apart from regretting the clinical skills he has learned, how can he stop him?
However, when Yu Huisheng saw the information that Ling Yao brought, he immediately turned his face:
"Study this? Don't even think about it!! Are you planning to graduate from me!? I'll call your hospital right now and ask the dean to take you back!!"
Ling Yao:?
