Two flowers bloomed, each telling its own tale.
Jiang Che reaped a bountiful harvest and returned to Qingteng Villa with the Little White Rabbit Female Lead, while Lin Ming had already begun thoroughly doubting his life and broke down in tears.
Everything had begun that morning.
At eight in the morning, Lin Ming freshened up and headed out without even having time for breakfast, beginning his delivery journey.
The start of the school term was drawing ever closer. Thinking about driving a luxury car to Linjiang University when school began, showing off, humiliating all sorts of rich second-generation heirs, running into Campus Belles everywhere, and embracing them left and right, Lin Ming felt incredibly motivated.
In the past, Lin Ming would not even have dared to dream of such things.
But now, he not only dared to dream it—he dared to do it. The Super Takeout System was his greatest source of confidence.
"Let's set a small goal: earn a hundred million first!"
Filled with incomparable excitement, Lin Ming put on the Yellow Battle Robe and hurried downstairs.
When he arrived downstairs in the residential complex, Lin Ming saw a group of people gathered around his Ferrari, pointing and discussing it.
"Wow, that's actually a Ferrari sports car!"
"Our neighborhood has a super luxury car like this?"
"I never noticed it before. Could some mega-rich guy have moved in recently?"
Listening to the endless discussions around him, Lin Ming felt delighted, a smile blooming across his face.
If he had not already accepted an order through the system and triggered a delivery mission, he would definitely have shown off properly to this bunch of poor bastards!
Suppressing his restless urge to show off, Lin Ming hummed a tune as he headed toward the electric scooter parked beneath a building not far away.
It was not as though Lin Ming had never considered delivering food in his supercar and enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.
But that thought only surfaced for an instant before he quickly rejected it.
The missions given to him by the God-Tier Delivery System all had time limits. If he could not complete the delivery mission within the specified time, there would be punishments.
To complete missions within the allotted time, delivering food on an electric scooter was obviously more suitable. After all, little electric scooters could go anywhere and handle any terrain, making them much more convenient.
Although he did not know what the system's punishments were, Lin Ming instinctively resisted them. He was somewhat resentful, yet did not dare utter another complaint.
Damn it, what era is this? There are punishments for failing missions? What a stupid system!
Though he felt somewhat unhappy, awakening a system was already a stroke of great fortune. Lin Ming merely grumbled a little.
After getting on his electric scooter and leaving the old residential complex, Lin Ming rode for ten minutes before arriving at his first pickup location: a Wallace burger combo.
After checking the delivery information and packing it up, Lin Ming left the burger shop and headed toward the delivery address.
Having delivered food for two months, Lin Ming was already extremely familiar with the surrounding terrain and could always find various shortcuts.
While waiting at a red light, Lin Ming had just parked his electric scooter when an elderly woman in her seventies or eighties, leaning on a cane, lay down right in front of him under his dumbfounded gaze.
"Ow, that hurts!"
"I'm just a frail old woman. After being hit by you like that, you're practically taking my life!"
"How do you ride? Don't you have even a little public decency?"
The old woman lay directly in front of Lin Ming's electric scooter, wailing incessantly. She quickly drew the attention of passing pedestrians, who began pointing at Lin Ming as well.
After a brief moment of bewilderment, Lin Ming quickly came to his senses. His expression darkened, and he was so furious his nose nearly twisted out of shape!
He really should have checked the almanac before leaving today. On his very first delivery, he had run into this kind of crap.
This old hag really had no eye for targets. How much money could a delivery guy like him possibly have?
Although he now had three million in cash, Lin Ming would not simply accept this kind of thing.
"Get up. I didn't hit you. You lay down by yourself!"
Lin Ming's face was full of displeasure, his voice low.
"Ow..."
"Young man, you dare do it but not admit it? Are you even a man?"
Hearing Lin Ming say that, the old woman immediately began cursing furiously, her face and neck red as she seemed extremely displeased by his refusal to admit it.
"This young man really has no public decency!"
"This old lady is already in her seventies or eighties. Could she really be deliberately trying to scam you?"
"Why not go to the relevant authorities and check the surveillance footage?"
Listening to the crowd pointing and criticizing him, Lin Ming felt miserable and aggrieved, but he had no choice at all right now and could only admit defeat.
All he could say was that this old hag had chosen the perfect time to scam someone.
He was carrying out a system mission. If he went to check the surveillance footage now, he definitely would not be able to complete the delivery mission, and then he would face the system's punishment.
Not wanting to experience the system's methods of punishment, Lin Ming could only swallow his anger.
After getting off his electric scooter, Lin Ming took out his phone and directly transferred ten thousand yuan to the old woman.
After receiving the money, the old woman's face broke into a radiant smile. She did not need anyone's help and left on her own. The crowd gradually dispersed as well, as though nothing had happened.
Just then, the light turned green. Lin Ming did not suspect anything and quickly rode his electric scooter toward the delivery address.
It was only ten thousand yuan. The bonus he could earn from casually completing a delivery mission was worth far more than that. It was no big deal!
Only by comforting himself like this did Lin Ming's gloomy mood ease somewhat.
Still indignant, Lin Ming accepted another five delivery orders from the system. Seeing that there was still plenty of time before their deadlines, he headed toward the first delivery location.
After arriving at the residential complex listed in the address, Lin Ming opened the delivery box behind his electric scooter and was instantly dumbfounded.
Fuck!
Who was so shameless that they had stolen his food delivery?
It had to have been some shameless bastard who secretly took his delivery while he was being scammed earlier!
Before Lin Ming could think any further, the system prompt that rang out in his mind instantly shattered him.
"Ding. Detected that the host did not complete the delivery mission within the specified time. The system is issuing a punishment..."
"Punishing the host with sixty seconds of the Advanced Electric Shock Package..."
"System Dad..."
Before Lin Ming could beg for mercy, the system's punishment descended instantly.
In an instant, Lin Ming was electrocuted until he was charred on the outside and tender within. Pale blue currents swept across his entire body, and in merely a moment, his skin turned charcoal-black as the electricity ran wildly through him.
Lin Ming's eyes rolled back, his body convulsed nonstop, and every strand of his hair stood on end. In an instant, he was electrocuted senseless.
When the sixty-second punishment ended, Lin Ming lay stiffly on the ground, unconscious.
The current Lin Ming was merely an ordinary man with no strength to speak of, so naturally he could not withstand the system's high-voltage electric punishment.
Second by second, time passed. About an hour later, a passing pedestrian discovered Lin Ming lying on his back on the ground, immediately called the police, and summoned an ambulance.
"This is bad! This is bad!"
Half an hour later, the ambulance finally arrived. A group of nurses in white got out, carried the still-unconscious Lin Ming into the ambulance, and headed for Linjiang City First People's Hospital.
At the same time, the God-Tier Delivery System issued punishments for Lin Ming's failure to complete his delivery missions on time.
Before losing consciousness, Lin Ming had accepted five delivery missions in one go.
Naturally, failing to complete the missions meant receiving five corresponding punishments.
"Ding. Detected that the host did not complete the food delivery mission within the specified time. Punishment commencing..."
"The host's little brother will be shortened by half..."
"The host's little brother will be shortened by half..."
"Ding. Detected that the host no longer has a little brother..."
"Confiscating the Ferrari supercar and three million yuan cash reward obtained by the host..."
"Punishing the host to streak naked on the streets for ten minutes. Time limit: three days... (If the host refuses, the system will forcibly carry out the punishment.)"
"Reducing the host's intelligence by 50..."
