This Mission Was Almost Too Much to Bear—Please Keep Reading

Xu Changqing was a little dumbfounded. The Sub-systems were supposed to be distributed at random, so why were all the recipients people he was "familiar" with?

This System was completely full of shit!

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were both relatively important female leads and supporting female characters in the original work. If the Sub-systems were distributed according to that pattern, then everything made sense. Xu Changqing could already imagine that future Sub-systems would likely be assigned to important supporting characters from the original work, such as the Shrek Seven Devils!

Wait!

Xu Changqing suddenly recalled that he had distributed three Sub-systems so far. Aside from Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, who had received the first Nightmare-level Sub-system?

If the Sub-systems were distributed according to a character's importance in the original work, then could the recipient of the first Sub-system have been Tang San, the original protagonist?

Thinking carefully about Tang San's occasional strange behavior over the past few years, Xu Changqing's mouth twitched. That possibility actually seemed quite high.

Constantly farting, often shouting "I'm a dumbass" for no reason in the academy cafeteria, and even more outrageously, once farting so hard in the dorm that he shit himself.

Was Tang San in the original work really that ridiculous?

"Hiss~"

Xu Changqing sucked in a cold breath, suddenly feeling as though he understood everything!

Was this the terrifying part of a Nightmare-level Sub-system?

What else could he say?

All he could do was silently mourn for Tang San in his heart.

As for the fact that Tang San's Nightmare-level Sub-system had been distributed by him, Tang San absolutely could not be allowed to find out. If Tang San learned that Xu Changqing was the one who had screwed him over so badly, Xu Changqing would probably end up on his Courting Death blacklist within minutes.

Tang San himself was not frightening. The current Tang San had yet to grow up, and at most, his unexpected hidden weapons posed a slight threat to Xu Changqing. What was frightening was the father behind him—Tang Hao.

If Tang Hao found out that Xu Changqing had messed his son up so badly, he would probably chase him to the ends of the earth.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing Xu Changqing frown in thought without speaking for a long time, Ning Rongrong could not help asking.

"Nothing."

Xu Changqing calmly shook his head. "My name isn't 'hey.' It's Xu Changqing. Also, I don't want to know your secret, and you don't need to tell me. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

"No! You're not allowed to leave!"

The moment Ning Rongrong heard that Xu Changqing wanted to leave, she immediately grew anxious and grabbed his arm.

Xu Changqing raised a brow and said calmly, "What? Is there something else?"

"I..." Ning Rongrong was anxious inside, but she could not explain herself. In the end, she stiffened her neck and put on her Young Miss airs. "Aiya! Anyway, you're not allowed to leave without my permission!"

Tsk!

He had tested it out.

It seemed this little girl's System mission really was related to him.

He just did not know what kind of System mission it was.

Thinking back on Xiao Wu's mission and connecting the clues...

It seemed that taking advantage of him would allow her to complete her System mission?

He was not sure whether that was right, but it was probably not far off.

It looked like he would have to work harder and pry this girl's System mission out of her.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Changqing said, "Fine, I won't leave. But at least tell me why you want me to stay. Don't tell me you fell in love with me at first sight the first time we met and want to tie me up and take me home as your Childhood Husband?"

"In your dreams!"

Ning Rongrong's pretty face reddened at his words. She glanced at her System mission, then carefully looked Xu Changqing over from head to toe before quietly muttering, "It doesn't seem completely impossible..."

"What did you say?"

Xu Changqing's eyes widened.

Good lord, Xiao Wu's mission at most involved taking a little advantage of him. But he had only asked as a test, and this girl actually wanted to tie him up and take him home as her Childhood Husband?

Damn!

Was her System mission the same bizarre breed as Tang San's System mission?

Was it really this explosive?

Did he not have any dignity?

A true man was born between heaven and earth. How could he remain beneath another for long!

"Don't overthink it, that's not what I meant..." Seeing Xu Changqing's huge reaction, Ning Rongrong was unbearably embarrassed. She had merely let something slip and muttered it aloud, yet somehow the person in question had heard it. She nearly wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Xu Changqing shot her a sideways glance. "Fine. I'll pretend I'm deaf. Tell me, what exactly do you want? If you don't, I really am leaving."

"Don't! You're not allowed to leave!"

Ning Rongrong hurriedly gripped him tightly.

Xu Changqing was helpless.

"You're stopping me from leaving, but you won't tell me what you want. Young Miss, you're being very unreasonable. You know people will hate that, right?"

Ning Rongrong pouted at his words and snorted. "Fine. Since you don't want to go back with me, then I'll go back with you. Think carefully—if you come back with me, my family has everything. Whatever you lack, I'll buy it for you. But if you won't come back with me, then I'll eat your food and use your things every day. Your choice."

Xu Changqing was completely stunned. "What? You're just going to shamelessly force this?"

"What do you care? I'm not restricting you. I'm already being very reasonable, okay? As for where I go, that's none of your business." Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes. Anyway, either he would go back with her today, or she would go back with him. There was no third option.

Xu Changqing did not even feel like complaining anymore. He really had no way to deal with this girl.

Looking at her, she was determined to latch onto him!

Could her System mission be to stick by his side?

In Xu Changqing's eyes, a System that could make Tang San fart constantly and call himself a dumbass was deeply improper. For such an improper System to issue Ning Rongrong a mission to cling to his side did not seem impossible.

"Fine, do whatever you want. But you should discuss this with your family first. Otherwise, I'm afraid they'll misunderstand and think I abducted you. I can't withstand the fury of two Titled Douluo." Xu Changqing shrugged helplessly. Either way, he was not losing out.

If Ning Rongrong followed him, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect definitely would not rest easy. When the time came, one of the two Titled Douluo of Sword Bone might come over. If one of them came, they would sooner or later discover Xiao Wu's identity. In Xu Changqing's view, that was a good thing.

With a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone Skill protecting him, he was not worried about encountering danger himself. What truly concerned him was Xiao Wu. In the original work, Xiao Wu had been close to Tang San, so Tang Hao had not acted against her. But now, Xiao Wu disliked Tang San, who was constantly farting, and while their relationship was not bad, it definitely was not particularly good either.

At most, they were ordinary roommates.

That kind of relationship was far too unreliable.

Xu Changqing was genuinely worried that one day, Tang Hao might be unable to resist and secretly attack Xiao Wu to seize her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone.

He had no confidence that he could stop a Titled Douluo.

But if one of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Titled Douluo came, things would be different. Perhaps Xiao Wu's already terrible situation would become even worse, but there was also the possibility of thoroughly muddying the waters.

Xu Changqing hoped more for the second possibility. Of course, if things did not develop as he hoped, he could only take Xiao Wu and run first. The Space Teleportation Soul Skill was still extremely useful.

Something came up today, so the update was late.
