Su Yang cried a river in his heart. He had a feeling that the system was trying to lead him onto the path of demise.
He tapped on the mission.
[New Bronze Mission: Spar with Pan Zhaodi and last for more than 2 minutes.]
‘What the...? Last for more than two minutes?’
Su Yang never actually had a clear understanding of Pan Zhaodi’s power until now.
The system would never give him an easy mission, and he must give his best if he wanted to clear it.
If he looked at the mission the other way around, it meant that Pan Zhaodi could beat him easily under two minutes, so he must try his best to last longer than that.
Su Yang quickly analyzed his strength. With the decent physique that he had gained through farming with his family, the techniques that he learned from fighting with the kids in the village, and the Elementary level sparring techniques, he was able to fight three to four street gangsters alone.
He was considered an expert among commoners, yet Pan Zhaodi could beat him in under two minutes?
‘How ridiculously powerful was she? Could she crush a bolder single-handedly?’
‘My goodness! She’s violent! She’s really a female T-Rex! Brother Six, Brother Six, how did you survive all these years? You are really a strong man! And screw the system! It’s always this harsh on me!’
If it had just been a Random Mission, Su Yang might have given it up because he did not want to die, but it was a Bronze Mission. He really did not want to give up on the potential special ability.
Ever since he got and cleared the last two Bronze Missions, he had never received a third, and now there was a Bronze Mission that required him to be a punching bag. Despite the possibility of dying, he did not want to give it up just like that.
‘No matter how seriously hurt I am, I still have Sanque...’
With that in mind, Su Yang accepted the mission and told the female T-Rex, wait, no, Pan Zhaodi, “Sure. Friday night, let’s meet here at six o’clock.”
Pan Zhaodi succinctly said, “Okay.”
After the promise, the two of them exchanged contact via WeChat and went back home separately.
When he reached home, with the excitement from accepting the mission lingering within him, Su Yang headed to the gym to work out. Push-ups, sit-ups, treadmill, dumbbells...everything that could train his muscles, he did it.
His unusual excitement confused all his little monsters in the villa.
All five of them sat in front of the gym and watched Su Yang work out while chatting with each other.
Deeny was munching on melon seeds when she started the conversation, “Why do you think the Master is working out all of a sudden?”
Little Hus looked askance at Su Yang with his signature husky stare. “Must have lost his mind again, which is normal for him.”
Pool said kindly, “Maybe...It’s Sports Day tomorrow at school?”
Sanque’s ugly face twisted. “Stupid.”
Gru waved its twigs. “Gru, Gru.”
Su Yang did not know his little monsters were making fun of him outside the gym. He worked out until he was completely exhausted and drenched in his sweat before he stopped.
After this intense workout session, he realized that his theory was correct.
Even though the system had implanted the sparring techniques and muscle memory into his body, in order to completely absorb the techniques and make them his second instinct, he still had to train hard.
After three workout sessions, he felt a little improvement. He was like a freshly forged alloy metal. If he kept tempering himself, he could get better.
Unfortunately, he only found out about this now.
After the workout session, Su Yang took a bath before heading out of his room to add points.
The Bronze Mission might be important, but his company was just as important because it was related to his Silver Mission.
All the little monsters were watching TV in the living room. Su Yang went over and called Little Hus out, “Little Hus, I need you to sniff something out for me.”
Little Hus looked at Su Yang with a disdainful gaze. There was no reason for the disdain at all, but maybe it was just the natural reaction of a husky. “Fine, since you’ve given me so many presents, I’ll help you out. What do you want this time?”
Su Yang thought about it for a moment and said, “I want something that can locate potential talents or provide insights about a person’s character.”
Little Hus bore that in mind and started its journey for the opportunity.
Su Yang always had the wrong feeling that Little Hus was not a husky but a treasure-hunting rat. His ability to sniff out chances and opportunities matched Su Yang’s system perfectly.
Even though the b*stard was naughty and liked to cause trouble, he had to admit that Little Hus was the most useful little monster.
On a serious note, out of the five special items that Su Yang had, Little Hus had sniffed four out. Among all the little monsters in the house, other than Gru and Little Hus himself, Deeny, Sanque, and Pool were able to come to life because Little Hus had sniffed them out.
‘This bastard might be a pain in the a*s and only knows how to cause trouble, but on second thought, he’s probably the most useful in the house.’
Su Yang sat down and watched TV after he assigned Little Hus to the task.
The TV was showing a popular drama series adapted from some e-sports novel. The series was well-directed, but the scriptwriter might come from a wealthy background and lacked general life knowledge. What he wrote did not make sense.
The main character visited the cyber cafe to play games but did not pay a deposit or top-up money. He even walked away without paying a cent! It was ridiculous.
Be it in Shanghai or his own village, Su Yang had to pay first before he could use the computer at the cyber cafe. He started to wonder where he could find such a cyber cafe that would allow him to walk away without paying.
After an episode, Little Hus came back and said, “Su Yang, I’ve found something. Follow me.”
Su Yang followed him to the study room and saw Little Hus pointing at the copier in the corner. “You can add a point to this.”
Surprised, Su Yang looked at the copier and said, “This? This doesn’t look like it has anything to do with locating talents...”
Little Hus gave him a husky death stare. “I don’t know about you, but it smells good to me, so it should be able to turn into something useful.”
Although he might be naughty, he never screwed up during important moments, so Su Yang thought he should believe Little Hus.
Since he had two more Random Points left, he still had one more after adding one to the copier.
With that in mind, he released Little Hus back to the living room before he closed the door.
He opened the system and a translucent [+] sign appeared above the copier.
Su Yang tapped on it without a second thought.
A moment later, the copier gleamed and its appearance changed.
The copier came together with Deeny’s virtual space. It was originally heavy and occupied half a square meter, but after the point, the copier shrunk to the size of a shoebox.
‘Hmm, it shrunk. What kind of special item is this?’
Su Yang waited for a while before the window popped up.
[Acquired special item. Appraise? Yes/No]
Su Yang tapped [Yes] without a second thought.
A moment later, the description of the small copier changed.
