Silver City, Jiangxin Elegant Garden, Building Three, Room 601.

Zhang Shou rushed out of his room and hurried into the bathroom. Standing before the toilet, he heard the sound of running water, and his whole body relaxed.

Suddenly, he heard a splash and frowned in confusion. He wasn't taking a dump, so where had that splash come from?

He opened his eyes and looked into the toilet, only to see a fruit glowing red...

A Forbidden Fruit?

Zhang Shou's eyes widened further and further as he quickly slapped himself.

It hurt!

Then he wasn't dreaming. It was real!

Without caring about the filth, he bent down and scooped the Forbidden Fruit out of the toilet.

He looked up at the ceiling, then around the room, swallowing unconsciously. Should he eat it, eat it, or eat it?

Anyway, nobody knew he had picked it up from the toilet. Eating it was the right choice.

To avoid any complications, he quickly pulled up his pants, carried the Forbidden Fruit to the sink, rinsed it briefly with water, and swallowed it in one bite.

There was still a faint smell of urine on it. The realism was off the charts.

"My wish can't be too big. Give me a system. I want a system!"

Zhang Shou had heard Yu Xian mention two days ago that Forbidden Fruits were not omnipotent. The greater the wish, the greater the price.

He didn't want to become a vegetable, much less sleep for ten thousand years. So his demands weren't high. Having a system would already be a blessing.

[Ding!] [Super Nanny System activated!]

Zhang Shou had been quite excited when he heard the ding in his mind, but when he heard the system's name, he went blank.

Wait, that wasn't right!

He had wanted a Sword Immortal System. How had it turned into a Super Nanny System?

A male nanny?

Nooooooooo!

Zhang Shou's expression shifted between laughter and tears. After waiting for a while without any changes from the system, he could only accept his fate with a bitter face.

"Status."

Zhang Shou spoke mournfully.

A light screen appeared before him, and his attributes rapidly unfolded.

[Name: Zhang Shou] [Gender: Male] [Age: 17] [Class: Super Nanny] [Skills] [Beginner—Healing Spell: Consumes a portion of stamina to condense a ball of light that heals the target.] [Beginner—Healing Touch: Consumes stamina to summon a tentacle capable of healing, detoxifying, and curing illnesses. After touching the target, it removes most abnormal conditions.] [Passive—Nannies Do Not Die of Injury or Illness: Upon dying from the first fatal attack received each day, immediately restores the user to peak condition. Upon receiving a second fatal attack, leaves the user with one percent health. Upon dying from a third fatal attack, revives on the spot one hour later.]

As Zhang Shou looked over his attributes, he grew more and more excited. Nannies were great! Nannies were wonderful! Long live nannies!

Three lives a day—who could match that?

Zhang Shou couldn't help throwing back his head and laughing. Then, as if remembering something, he immediately turned and punched the wall.

His face promptly turned red, then green, and finally white. It hurt so much!

It took him quite a while to recover. Clutching his fist, he could only blow on it.

"Didn't they say that taking a Forbidden Fruit starts you at Eagle Rank?"

"What kind of Eagle Rank is this weak?"

Zhang Shou stared at his swollen, reddened fist, his mind full of question marks.

He ran back to his room, pulled out the newly bought phone from beside his bed, and immediately dialed Yu Xian's number.

Yu Xian's home.

At that moment, Yu Xian was standing on the ceiling, studying more uses for Blood Energy.

Since he couldn't learn orthodox blood magic, he would research it himself. Now that he had Blood Energy, was he supposed to fear being unable to develop spells?

It was like having a generator. Could he not handcraft an electric fan, a rice cooker, an electric scooter, or an electromagnetic cannon?

For instance, Yu Xian had already developed several uses for Blood Energy. First, by attaching it to his body, he could move across walls and rooftops like Spider-Man. Even when hanging upside down from the ceiling, he wouldn't fall.

He could also attach it to silver threads, strengthening their toughness and even making them sticky like spider silk.

All of that was actually the result of making Blood Energy adhesive. In addition, Yu Xian could use his mind to make Blood Energy corrosive. A single drop could corrode a huge hole through the floor.

"Could spells be about changing the properties of Blood Energy to create all sorts of miraculous effects? Then would flames use Blood Energy as fuel?"

Yu Xian controlled the Blood Energy and tried to make it burn by imagining flames.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

He glanced at the Blood Energy in his hand, dropped from the ceiling to the floor, and picked up the phone from the table.

"Yu Xian, I ate a Forbidden Fruit!" Zhang Shou's voice came from the other end.

Most of the time, Zhang Shou called him Salty Fish, while he called Zhang Shou Old Zhang. Only when Zhang Shou was especially nervous or serious did he call him Yu Xian.

"I slapped myself, and it hurt like hell, so this definitely isn't a dream. I'm a superhuman now, but there seems to be a problem," Zhang Shou said seriously.

Yu Xian thought for a moment and instructed, "Stay at home and don't go anywhere. I'll come find you."

After saying that, he hung up.

He didn't really believe Zhang Shou had eaten a Forbidden Fruit. He was more inclined to suspect that Zhang Shou had eaten poisonous mushrooms at home and started hallucinating.

It was like your best friend suddenly calling to tell you he had won the lottery jackpot. There was no sense of reality to it at all. It was too surreal.

Yu Xian changed into another set of clothes and hurried out.

Five minutes later, he arrived at the residential complex where Zhang Shou lived, quickly went up to the sixth floor, and knocked on Zhang Shou's door.

"Salty Fish, get in here!" Zhang Shou opened the door with an extremely furtive air and spoke in a low voice.

After Yu Xian entered, Zhang Shou hurriedly shut the door and even locked it from the inside, as though that would give him more security.

"All right, you said you ate a Forbidden Fruit. So what supernatural ability do you have now?" Yu Xian asked as he sat on the sofa and looked at Zhang Shou.

Zhang Shou slightly altered where he had obtained the Forbidden Fruit, changing it from having found it in the bathroom to having found it in his room. As for everything else, he told Yu Xian without holding anything back.

"Then try summoning Healing Touch. Let me see it," Yu Xian said after listening.

Zhang Shou nodded and immediately activated the skill toward the side. An illusory green tentacle instantly appeared. It resembled an octopus tentacle without suction cups, slowly swaying after appearing.

As Yu Xian watched the tentacle appear out of thin air, his eyes widened. He had no choice but to believe that Zhang Shou had truly stepped in dog shit and gotten lucky.

He stood and walked over to the tentacle, lightly touching it with his hand. In an instant, he rapidly backed away, discovering that his hand had actually been burned.

That tentacle actually restrained vampires.

"Hehe, do you believe me now?" Zhang Shou asked smugly.

Yu Xian nodded. "I believe you. But do you know why your strength hasn't reached Eagle Rank?"

"Yeah, why?" Zhang Shou quickly asked.

Yu Xian's expression turned serious as he said irritably, "Because you were too greedy. Do you know that you almost didn't become someone with a system? You almost became the system itself?"

He hadn't taken Zhang Shou seriously earlier, so he had merely smiled at whatever Zhang Shou said. But now that he had confirmed Zhang Shou's words were true, Yu Xian only felt terrified.

Zhang Shou thought his wish hadn't been big, but in reality, it had been unimaginably huge.

The system he had obtained had almost no side effects, while its class skills were outrageously powerful. Especially that passive—it was simply heaven-defying.

Yu Xian felt that Zhang Shou had definitely used up all the luck he would have in his entire life this time.

However, for safety's sake, he still decided to contact the captain. After all, discovering someone who had consumed a Forbidden Fruit was supposed to be reported, and this was the perfect chance to arrange a thorough physical examination for Zhang Shou.
