Bedroom balcony.
Leaning against the railing, Hao Yun was holding his cell phone and talking on the phone with his family.
"How was it? First day of school?"
Difficult to do...
Hao Yun originally wanted to say this, but he was afraid that his father would worry him, and he was even more afraid that he would not be able to explain clearly and be sent to a mental hospital, so he sighed and said.
"It's good, everything is fine."
It’s just this dinner, I’m not full.
"What about your roommate? How's the relationship going?"
"It's okay. Apart from me, everyone in our dormitory is talented."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.
After a long time, Dad continued to speak.
"What about living expenses? Is 800 yuan enough?"
"If it's enough, if it's not enough, I'll think of a way to do a part-time job or something."
"You still put study first. If you don't have enough living expenses, tell me."
Hao Yun declined with a smile: "No, no, I can do it myself. Besides, I'm not that busy in my freshman year. It's good to find some work to exercise myself. It's better than playing games in the dormitory."
Dad was silent for a while.
"Then take care of yourself... Do you want to talk to mom for a while? She just went for a walk and should be back now."
"Tomorrow night. I'm really tired today. I'll take a shower and go to bed. Say hello to mom and I. I'll hang up now."
After hanging up the phone, Hao Yun took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it towards the balcony. Then he closed his eyes and began to think about the previous feeling.
When he just returned to the dormitory, he was thinking about what happened to him today. As soon as he fumbled for something, he was interrupted by a call from his father.
Recalling his previous feelings, he tentatively recited "system" silently in his mind.
Just when he felt that his behavior was stupid and opened his eyes, lines of blue light and shadow like AR projections instantly replaced the deep night and were projected into his pupils that were dilated due to surprise.
[Host: Hao Yun (soul bound, cannot be released)]
[Talent: Good Luck (0)]
[Attribute: Locked, unlocked after completing the novice mission]
What the hell
Does this plug-in have to wait until the novice mission is completed before it can be credited
Or is it that you are still in the probation period, and the so-called novice tasks are a test for you
Looking dumbfounded at the attribute panel unfolding in front of him, Hao Yun tentatively stretched out his index finger and selected the "good luck" in the talent column.
Almost at the same time, a line of explanatory text popped out from the right side of the icon.
[Good luck (0): As long as you accumulate good deeds, maybe good things will happen?]
Hao Yun:…
What is the difference between this line of explanation and nonsense
And why do you use the interrogative tone
However, thinking that the "potential value" of his talent was 0 anyway, Hao Yun stopped worrying about whether this talent was useful and selected the question mark in the upper right corner of the system.
As he expected, a dialog box similar to "User Notification" quickly appeared in front of him.
[Welcome to the World Foreign Expert System.]
[Note: Once this system is bound, it cannot be returned or exchanged, nor can it be given up.]
Hao Yun:…
No returns or exchanges.
Didn't you ask your father-in-law if he didn't agree when we were binding
However, he figured that if he really had to choose, he probably wouldn't give up, so he skipped this nonsense and continued reading.
[Instructions for use: According to the user agreement, this system will give the host insight beyond cause and effect, and can discover the "masters" hidden in the crowd and their talents and potential values corresponding to the talents.]
[The potential value is greater than 5, which means that if the goal develops according to the current life trajectory, there is a chance to achieve "extraordinary" or above achievements. If it is greater than 7, it means that there is a chance to achieve an "epic" or above achievement, while if it is greater than 10, it means that it is possible to leave a mark in history. If it is lower than 1, it cannot be penetrated. If it is a question mark, there are still large variables that require further observation.]
[Potential value corresponds to talent, and only represents potential in a probabilistic sense. It is a quantitative result obtained from a causal tree diagram system analysis, and has nothing to do with the target's actual ability and current realistic conditions.]
[Most of the tasks created by this system will revolve around this logic, and the triggering method is directly related to the target's desire to realize his ambition. A single target can only trigger one task at the same time, and there are no restrictions on different targets. Once a task is triggered, the host can choose whether to complete it, and the task reward will also be evaluated based on multiple dimensions such as target potential value, task difficulty, and the host's causal participation.]
[Once the mission fails, it will not have a direct negative impact on the host himself, but the same target will not be able to trigger the mission again for a certain period of time, or even permanently.]
[In addition, unlike talents, the system will specially customize the personalized attribute bar for the host, corresponding to the learning talent of specific projects, to help the host quickly master more practical skills, and more content will be explained in detail after the novice gift pack is unlocked .]
[For the user agreement, this system reserves the right of final interpretation.]
[Remember, the reincarnation of cause and effect has begun.]
[Achieving others is also equivalent to achieving oneself.]
So the attribute bar is locked because I have no talent
I bet this system is pretty good at taking care of people...
But this is too embarrassing!
What troubles Hao Yun the most is what happens if the novice fails the mission
Is it going to trigger one again, or is the system closing the door on him forever
To be honest, he felt that the former was more likely, but he really didn't dare to bet on this uncertain probability.
After all, there is no benefit to winning, but losing the bet is a huge loss.
Guessing that this broken system was done with nonsense, Hao Yun was about to shut down the system and think about how to complete the tasks assigned by the system.
But at this moment, another line suddenly popped out from the end of the explanatory text.
[Considering that the host is using this system for the first time and does not yet understand the concept of cause and effect, a "Certificate of Cause and Effect" is specially given as a trial only.]
Evidence of cause and effect
After being slightly stunned, Hao Yun looked at the bottom of the attribute bar, and sure enough, there was an extra line of icons labeled [Props].
[Proof of cause and effect (one-time prop): After being triggered, the cause and effect can be reversed in a short time, making the impossible possible. But please note that cause and effect are rewarded, and everything you ask for is an equal exchange. Moreover, what you want must follow the cycle of cause and effect. Cause and effect will not respond to things that cannot be achieved or the costs cannot be repaid.]
What does reverse causation mean
After pondering this sentence several times, Hao Yun fell into deep thought.
"Every cause and effect will be rewarded...that is to say, if you ask for cause and effect, you will also receive equivalent revenge from cause and effect?"
For example, if you wish to win a lottery worth 1 million, but get into a car accident immediately after winning the lottery, and lose hundreds of thousands and your health in the blink of an eye
As for what you want, you must follow the cycle of cause and effect. You cannot wish for things that cannot be realized and things that cannot be repaid...
It's probably like making a wish to win the 100,000,000,000 lottery ticket.
Not only is the prize pool not that big, but even if he evaporates from the rest of the world, he can't afford the price.
In addition, Hao Yun also noticed a detail, that is, the prop can only reverse cause and effect in a "short period of time."
While it's not certain how short this short term is, it's clearly not something that can be used to achieve long-term goals.
For example, "become a top student through hard work" or "win the sales championship for two consecutive years and win the favor of your boss and be promoted to a senior executive". Goals that take time to achieve are unattainable.
In contrast, wishes such as "getting a perfect score in a certain exam" or even "writing a certain question correctly" can be realized with a high probability... as long as the price can be repaid.
But how will the points already obtained be repaid
Could it be that he was caught cheating after the exam
Or simply arrange a car accident later to balance things out.
Although he felt that he would probably not use this prop in such a boring place, Hao Yun couldn't help but get curious and think about some sexy operations.
for example-
Use it to interfere with other people's cause and effect...
But unfortunately, at this moment, the balcony door suddenly opened.
Looking at Hao Yun gesticulating towards the sky, Liang Ziyuan, who was holding a towel in his hand, was slightly stunned.
"… What are you doing?"
There was some subtle embarrassment on his face, Hao Yun coughed lightly and said.
"Uh, count the stars."
"...are you counting clearly?"
"without."
"...Then you continue."
After saying no more nonsense, Liang Ziyuan threw the towel on his shoulders and entered the bathroom humming an unknown tune.
After a while, the sound of the shower came, followed by wild and uninhibited singing.
Is this a music expert
Love it, love it... shit!
Is this a song sung by humans? !
If the system hadn't reminded him that potential and ability had nothing to do with each other, Hao Yunde would have begun to wonder if he was suffering from heat stroke, and the so-called system was actually just an illusion that he was sick.
In any case, it was obvious that he couldn't stay on the balcony any longer, and he couldn't let the misunderstanding downstairs mean that he was disturbing the people.
Hao Yun withdrew his index finger from mid-air and exited the system, silently making up his mind to start the system next time in a place where no one was around.
At the same time, he also made up his mind.
We must find an opportunity to persuade Brother Liang, who is crying and howling in the bathroom, to give up running for squad leader...
…
It was late at night, the lights were turned off, dormitory 401 was quiet, but the class group was very lively.
At the beginning, everyone was very reserved, claiming to be a newbie and worthy of a big boss. Later, the conversation started and the topic gradually became more and more exciting.
[Hey, which class is that tall, thin boy in? It's the one in the white T-shirt.]
[I don’t know, there are a lot of people wearing white T-shirts, right?]
[I know, I know, it’s the boy who looks clean, right?]
[Woo woo woo...]
[Are you talking about Liang Ziyuan? It seems that he is from our class? (smirking)]
The group was quiet for two seconds.
Including in the dormitory.
"Zi Yuan, have you seen the class group? It seems to be talking about you!" Zheng Xueqian whispered excitedly while lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone.
"boring."
Brother Ziyuan, who turned over and wore headphones, chose to continue sleeping.
Zhu Kening remained silent, but news about him popped up in the group.
He seemed to be worried that the popularity of his brother in the dormitory would threaten his status in the class, so he changed the topic tactfully.
only…
This operation is really a bit silly.
[(Group leader) Zhu Kening: Haha, Ziyuan is probably asleep, so we’d better not disturb his rest. That's right, let's choose a monitor, right? It just so happens that everyone is here, so we might as well chat about what everyone thinks. (baring teeth)]
Hao Yun's face turned green when he saw this message popping up in the group.
Damn it
Is there anyone so blind to do public opinion polls when their opponents are at their most popular
What made him even more uncomfortable was that his emotional intelligence, IQ, and potential were both higher than his own.
Why!
Sure enough, as he expected, a few lines of messages popped up in the group.
[I choose Ziyuan!]
[Me, me, me, I also vote for Ziyuan!]
[Haha, it seems everyone wants to go together. (laughing)]
[Zi Yuan should be in the group, why don't you come out and say something? (shy)]
This time he probably wanted to tell someone on purpose, so Zheng Xueqian no longer suppressed his voice and continued shouting happily.
"Ziyuan Ziyuan! Many people in the group are looking for you!"
Liang Ziyuan, who was lying on his side, frowned, clicked his tongue, and reached out to stuff the earphones tighter.
"Don't make any noise."
This guy is as precious as words, as always, and I don't know if he is really not interested in girls, or if he is just being coquettish or just showing off.
On the other hand, there was still no movement on Zhu Kening's bed.
Hao Yun could see that his mobile phone screen was lit, but there was no message from him in the group.
There was a vague feeling in his heart that something was wrong. Just when he was thinking about what kind of trick this idiot would make, a strange message suddenly popped up in the group.
This unfamiliar account has no comments, and its avatar looks like an old-fashioned sunflower.
[Yimi Sunshine: I vote for the group leader. I think the group leader has the temperament to be a monitor and a sense of responsibility for the class. At first glance, he is the material to be a monitor. (baring teeth)]
Seeing this news, Hao Yun's face turned even greener.
Damn it, is this idiot opening a small account to canvass votes for himself? !
really…
He was obviously not the only smart person in the group, and someone quickly jumped out to take the lead in causing trouble.
[Xiao Tongtong: Who is this classmate? Let’s change the notes in the class group. (Smile)]
[Xu Xiaoruan: That’s right. Hello, newcomer! Explosive photos, explosive photos.]
Hao Yun raised his eyelids and glanced at the bed opposite.
Through the light of the mobile phone screen, Zhu Kening's forehead was covered with sweat.
Good guy, before voting even started, we had a public relations crisis.
He knew that if he didn't take action, this mission would probably be a failure.
Hao Yun sighed, forced himself to type, and left his first speech in the class group.
[Hao Yun: Sorry, that was the trumpet account I used to join the group. Then I changed my account and joined the group, and I forgot to leave. I logged into the wrong account just now. I'm really sorry. I'll cancel it now.]
[Instructor: It is indeed better not to open a small account in the class group.]
Gan!
The instructor actually kept peeking at the screen.
Hao Yun turned his face sideways and glared at Zhu Kening.
What are you waiting for
Seeing this glare, Zhu Kening shook his shoulders, put on an embarrassed smile, and withdrew the trumpet from the group at the speed of light.
As "One Meter of Sunshine" left the group, the group soon became filled with a happy atmosphere.
The topic has also changed from the boring squad leader election to the recently popular TV series.
Hao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and was about to put down his phone and go to bed when he suddenly received a private message from Zhu Kening's trumpet.
[Yimi Yangguang: Ahem, thank you very much just now. I’ll treat you to dinner another day.]
Hao Yun:…
It's okay if you don't mention eating, but he gets angry when you mention it!
[There’s no need to eat. Don’t worry, I’m going to sleep.]
A guy who fails to succeed but fails to succeed!
If it weren’t for the newbie gift package…
Who is so willing to help Diaomao run for squad leader
bother!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Hao Yun threw the phone aside and turned over to sleep.
