Kind-Hearted

The phone call didn't last long. The people from the Elite Law Firm, adhering to their swift and decisive style, scheduled Xu Nan for tomorrow to handle the procedures.

In fact, if it weren't for this call, he would have almost forgotten about Song Ying.

He had sent three people to another world using the portal, and besides Song Ying, he hadn't gained any substantial benefits.

Changfeng's baseball cap was one thing, but as for the QQ number given by that hypocritical Changfeng Tuo, Xu Nan hadn't even thought about logging in to check.

What was the point of having contact information for a rich family's daughter for an upright and kind person like himself?

It would be more practical to just give him some money.

Fortunately, there was still the sensible Song Ying.

Speaking of which, Xu Nan had always been very curious about the identity of that masked woman. It seemed like tomorrow, he would finally get the answer.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Nan began directing the Imps to quickly build a wooden house suitable for human habitation near the Gnoll camp.

This wooden house was much larger than the one used for teleportation. From now on, it would become the core of this Dungeon, also known as the legendary Lord's Hall.

He ordered the Imps to use the materials from the Gnoll camp to build a simple base first, and then he didn't stay idle either. He opened his workbench and started making Mechanical Ghosts.

Mechanical Ghosts didn't require many alchemy materials, mainly a large amount of iron blocks and a small amount of other metals. Since the supplies in the Gnoll camp were sufficient, Xu Nan readily selected the materials.

After spending 5 Shame Points to learn the contents of the blueprint, the methods for making two types of Mechanical Ghosts entered Xu Nan's mind.

Each step of the process felt as if it was integrated into his blood, incredibly familiar.

In one night, he had tinkered out two second-generation Mechanical Ghosts.

These Mechanical Ghosts weren't as intelligent as the Imps, but they were durable and didn't require food. Their power source was the Blue Crystal in their chests. These Blue Crystals from another world clearly carried strong radiation sources, and Xu Nan speculated that this was another form of energy.

Speaking of which, these two Blue Crystals were given to him by Senior Exxon.

After finishing all this, it was already close to midnight.

Xu Nan was ready to retreat. The City Management Captain had gone scouting and hadn't returned, but Xu Nan wasn't worried. He had already asked the Imp leader, and there were no monsters in the vicinity. As for Qin Lele, she seemed carefree but was actually careful, so nothing should happen.

He thought for a moment and decided to temporarily arrange for A Tang to guard the Dungeon.

A Tang immediately became unhappy: "You're exploiting a magic pet! I'm a national treasure, I need to bask in the sun! Have you ever seen a national treasure squatting in a Dungeon?"

Xu Nan looked at the rapidly dropping favorability and knew that she was quite displeased about him reclaiming all the equipment he had blackmailed from her. He had no choice but to continue painting a rosy picture:

"A signed photo of Xin'er."

A Tang's eyes lit up: "Really!?"

Xu Nan smiled: "Am I the kind of person who goes back on their word?!"

A Tang immediately happily called out to the Imp leaders, urging them to work overtime.

Xu Nan silently allocated half of the Mechanical Ghosts' authority to her and then set off on his return journey.

When he got home, it was close to dawn. Xu Nan quickly made breakfast and sent it over, then buried his head in sleep.

It wasn't until late in the afternoon that he was woken up again by a call from the law firm. He quickly took a shower and took a taxi out.

When he arrived, his butt hadn't even warmed up before he was taken by a team of lawyers to sign a large stack of documents.

He once again witnessed the extremely high efficiency of Song Ying's legal team.

According to them, Song Ying's car accident happened the day before yesterday. After her death was confirmed yesterday, according to her will, all her real estate, equity, and creditor's rights were given to Xu Nan.

As for the funds in her bank account, she chose to donate them to impoverished mountainous areas, which also seemed to be a considerable sum.

Xu Nan was already content.

In the afternoon, when he walked out of the law firm, he had suddenly transformed into a wealthy man who owned thirty-six shops in the most luxurious business district of H City, and also held a significant amount of stock in two unlisted but highly profitable companies with good prospects.

However, the sudden wealth did not bring him joy. He only felt emptiness and melancholy.

Perhaps my life's pursuit, my ambition, is not here.

Xu Nan said pretentiously.

Unfortunately, when he was being pretentious, there was no one around to appreciate it, and he felt even more lonely in his heart.

After rushing back from the city, there was a Mao Zedong Thought class in the evening. Xu Nan had originally planned to skip it, but after receiving so much wealth today, his restless heart made him change his mind.

After all, he had just been bombarded by the materialistic capitalist worldview all afternoon, so he had to let the advanced socialist ideology elevate his ideological awareness.

In the evening, he arrived at the school and saw couples at the main entrance looking radiant and walking in pairs, while Single Dogs looked sallow and thin, walking alone. The two camps formed a huge contrast.

Righteously indignant, Xu Nan immediately decided to continue targeting couples. Anyway, the monthly activity didn't seem to have a point limit.

Just at this moment, a large crowd suddenly gathered downstairs of the teaching building next to him.

Some people were taking pictures and posting them on Moments, some were making phone calls, and some were running around spreading the word: "Someone is going to jump off the building!"

Xu Nan was startled and went over. He found that there was indeed a handsome young man with clear features squatting on the edge of the teaching building with a look of despair, staring at the sunset as if he had no desire to live.

Frankly speaking, this handsome guy looked pretty good, probably just a little bit less handsome than Xu Nan.

"What's going on? Isn't that Song Cheng from the Computer Science department?"

"I don't know, it's really gossipy for a famous playboy to suddenly do something like this. Did he break up with his girlfriend?"

"What do you guys know? Maybe he just thought the sunset from that angle was beautiful?"

Everyone was discussing animatedly.

Some people called the police, and some called the school security guards.

Xu Nan watched for a while and got bored. The guy seemed like he was going to jump but wasn't, which was really dragging things out.

Some students from the sports college brought over an air cushion. A dark-skinned, rough-looking guy shouted emotionally:

"Song Cheng! Don't give up your young and passionate life so easily!"

"Even if Qi Zijun doesn't want you, you still have me!"

His fierce shout not only scared the people nearby into trembling, but even the guy on the roof of the teaching building started to tremble.

Xu Nan felt his scalp tingle.

That shout contained a lot of information. It was better for him not to interfere in such complicated male-female... no, it should be male-male relationships.

Just as he was about to leave, the daily quest, which had terrible timing, refreshed—

[Ron Sorcerer Bloodline Awakening Daily Quest]
[Quest Name: Kind-Hearted]
[Quest Description: There are always ignorant young people who don't know how precious life is. We righteous people should help them establish correct values and cherish life. Stop Song Cheng from jumping and completely dispel his suicidal thoughts.]
[Quest Reward: 10 Shame Points; Randomly awaken a bloodline ability]

Xu Nan was greatly surprised!

Had the system changed its nature or something? Why was it suddenly asking him to persuade people to be good? And the reward was so high that Xu Nan couldn't understand it.

This quest wasn't shameful at all! Xu Nan felt a little emotional.

He thought about it. If something was abnormal, there must be a reason, but the reward was high enough. If there was a reason, so be it.

He gladly accepted the quest, then quietly activated Stealth, left the crowd, and while Song Cheng's attention was drawn elsewhere, he slipped into the teaching building.

There were already a few security guards and teachers trying to persuade him, but no matter what they said, Song Cheng didn't turn back, and they didn't dare to provoke him.

Xu Nan's Stealth level was very low, and he was quickly discovered by a sturdy security guard who stopped him:

"Student, don't go over!"

Xu Nan said righteously, "This matter concerns me, let me handle it."

The middle-aged bald teacher who had been persuading until his mouth was dry opened his thermos, took a sip of goji berry water, and waved his hand: "Let him go. Young people's matters should be resolved by young people themselves."

"Anyway, this building isn't that high, and aren't the people from the sports college ready with the air cushion below?"

Old Hai!

Xu Nan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect to run into Old Hai here. The security guard hesitated for a moment, and Xu Nan pushed past him.

Xu Nan continued to use Stealth, his steps like a cat's. Song Cheng's attention was drawn to the people below, so he didn't notice what was happening behind him.

"Jump! Jump down, I'll catch you!"

Below, the guy from the sports college spread his arms and roared. The onlookers were all moved.

Song Cheng trembled all over. He simply sat down on the edge of the roof and stared blankly at the sunset.

"Brother, got dumped by your girlfriend?"

Xu Nan appeared beside him like a ghost, the prepared magic activated rope already in his hand.

At the same time, he quietly activated the hidden specialties [Radiant] and [Universal Gravitation]!

Song Cheng glanced at him. Perhaps he was confused by his high charm, as he didn't make any drastic movements, just said weakly:

"Yeah. But that's just one thing. It was originally just a casual fling where we both agreed."

Xu Nan was surprised and asked, "Then what happened?"

His gossipy nature also kicked in. He suppressed the urge to tie Song Cheng up with the rope and decided to understand the situation first.

After all, the quest clearly stated that he had to completely dispel Song Cheng's suicidal thoughts.

Song Cheng sighed: "My mom died."

Xu Nan was immediately choked up.

This... was hard to persuade.

"Not only did my mom die, but she also gave her family fortune to a pretty boy whose background I don't know!"

Song Cheng became more and more indignant as he spoke: "It's not about the money, honestly, I was so sad when she died in a car accident... But what I can't accept is that she secretly kept a pretty boy for so many years."

"Even if I can accept her keeping a pretty boy, fine, after all, my dad died early, but what's with this will?"

"Am I still her biological son or not!"

The more he spoke, the more wronged he felt. He actually hugged Xu Nan and burst into tears.

The crowd downstairs erupted, and the boys from the sports college were flushed, not knowing what was happening on the roof.

"How did they end up hugging while talking?"

Someone muttered.

"Huh? Isn't that Xu Nan? The heartthrob of the Accounting Department!"

"It really is him! I didn't expect him to swing both ways!"

"I can't take it anymore, my neck is getting stiff from watching. These days, I just can't keep up with the younger generation's way of thinking..."

A balding senior with a draft of his doctoral thesis in his arms shook his head and sighed.

Rooftop. Xu Nan's expression gradually turned awkward.

"May I ask, your mother's name?"

Song Cheng wiped away his tears and said strangely, "Why are you asking that? My mom's name is Song Ying."

"That pale-faced guy is called Xu Nan."

"If I ever see him, I'll tear him to pieces!"

...!
