[Congratulations to the host, completing the additional task 2 - preventing Depson from spreading mutant genes.]

[Three tasks are successfully completed, and you can get triple rewards. Constitution +10 (+3+5), Memory +15 (+4+5), Mental Power +15 (+5+5), Beauty +15 (+3+4), Lifespan +5 (+1+2) , the points in parentheses are additional task rewards.]

[There are also two skills to choose from to learn.]

Shang Ke lay motionless, his mind kept replaying Qin Yuan's last cry with his corpse in his arms, feeling extremely sour in his heart. For him, every world can meet again, but for him, it is lost again and again, irretrievably.

"System, I remember you said that as long as I complete all the tasks, I can choose to return to the real world, or I can choose to return to the worlds I have experienced to rewrite the ending."

[Not only must all tasks be completed, but the comprehensive score of task perfection must be above 50%.]

"What is my current level of perfection?"

[40% - complete the main task, 20 points; complete two tasks, 50 points; die after completing three tasks, 70 points; perfect survival, 100 points;]

40%, which is much better than he expected. Next, he must strive to complete at least two tasks. It would be better if he could survive by chance.

Shang Ke rationalized his thoughts, regained his energy, and was ready to start learning skills.

After thinking about it, he finally chose [Racing] and [Repair], in addition to learning martial arts and medicine.

After leaving the Hundred Refinements Space, Shang Ke can officially enter the next world.

Slowly opening his eyes, he found that he seemed to be sitting in a speeding car, except for the driver, he was the only one sitting in the back seat. The scenery outside the window quickly receded, and there were many high-rise buildings on both sides. It can be seen that this is a world with advanced technology.

Shang Ke breathed a sigh of relief, the system finally had some conscience this time, and he had to face all kinds of dangerous situations as soon as he opened his eyes.

Then, information about this world was quickly transmitted.

Shang Ke's identity this time is Yue Ze, the eldest son of the Yuejia family in the alliance empire. He just turned nineteen this year. He was very intelligent and talented since he was a child. However, when he was eighteen years old, he unfortunately contracted a mental virus.

The mental virus has been around for more than 300 years. So far, the source of the virus and the perfect cure have not been found. We only know that this virus is hidden in the spiritual realm of human beings. Once it breaks out, it will go crazy and die within three days. The only solution at present is to completely strip off the emotional neurons and fundamentally remove the mental virus.

However, although this method of treatment can restore consciousness, it will lose all normal sensory emotions. Former relatives, friends and even enemies will be treated as a set of data by them, without any love or hatred. What's more, people who received this treatment had a greatly shortened lifespan, up to 35 years old.

The Empire collectively refers to such people as "promise keepers", and there are more than 4,000 promise keepers every year, and there are about 7,000 people who died of mental viruses because they were too late for treatment. Generally speaking, mental viruses are mostly found in civilians with a hard life and vulnerable groups with poor psychological quality. The chance of the disease like Yueze is very small. However, bad luck befalls him.

Watching Yue Ze go crazy, Yue Cheng finally made the difficult decision to have him receive treatment, even if it would cost his young life before the age of 35.

But he didn't know that Yue Ze's madness was not because of a mental virus, but because his younger brother Yue Xuan injected him with a special psychoactive potion. The madness caused by this potion would recover on its own in a day or two. Combined with symptomatic drugs, it can be cured within a few hours.

This kind of psychoactive drug is difficult to detect. The doctor in charge of treating Yue Ze is Yue Xuan’s biological mother, who is also assigned by Yue Ze’s stepmother Mrs. Chang. After a series of sophisticated arrangements, the healthy Yue Ze was treated as a mental illness. The patient, pushed into the ruthless treatment room, became an emotionless promise-keeper who could not live past the age of 35. At the same time, he also completely lost the qualification to become the heir.

In addition to the lack of emotion, other aspects of the promise-keeper's ability will not be obliterated, and some even show more amazing potential. This is the case with Yue Ze, his concentration is extremely concentrated, and the learning speed is three times as fast as before. Operating skills and physical fitness have improved by leaps and bounds.

When Yue Xuan saw this scene, the fire of jealousy ignited again. After consulting with his mother, he secretly arranged a fake identity for Yue Ze, and then sent his information and medical certificate to the appointment-keeper distribution center. This is an employment organization specially created for contract keepers. Although contract keepers have a short lifespan, they are a very principled group. Once a contract is signed, the terms of the contract will be strictly enforced, and they will not be tempted by interests or threatened by violence. Betraying an employer, even if it hurts their family, will not shake them in any way.

This is also the real origin of the name of "covenant keepers". They are all ruthless and principled executors, and they are also a group of poor people without sustenance.

Contract-keepers will have different star ratings in the distribution center according to their abilities. Yue Ze, who changed his name to "Shang Ze", was rated as 3.5 stars by the person in charge of the distribution center after the assessment. The overall quality is medium and above. He has advantages in work, force and internal affairs, and belongs to a relatively all-round employment. talent.

Contract-keepers above three stars are generally recommended by the distribution center to the dignitaries in person. Yue Ze's convenience is very outstanding, but within two days, he was hired by a noble.

This noble has his own territory and lives in Boya County, which is more than 300 kilometers away from the capital. He is the protagonist of this world, Lu Xiufan. Yue Ze was hired by him and worked by his side for three years. Soon after, Yue Xuan fell in love with Lu Xiufan at first sight, but found out that Yue Ze had become Lu Xiufan's personal assistant. He was madly jealous, which triggered his revenge against Yue Ze.

Yue Ze was indifferent to his revenge. He had no hatred or grief. He only knew how to carry out Lu Xiufan's orders, but he was murdered by Yue Xuan in an accident. Lu Xiufan didn't know that Yue Ze was the eldest young master of the Yue family. It was not until he died unexpectedly that the truth was discovered through investigation. Lu Xiufan told Yue Cheng about the investigation results. He thought that Yue Cheng would deal with it. Who knew that he was only a small punishment and a big admonition, so he exposed the matter.

Yue Ze's family is so indifferent for the time being, what can an outsider like Lu Xiufan say? But as one of his former subordinates, he would never let him die in vain, even if he was just an emotionless promise-keeper.

In the next few years, the Yue family was repeatedly suppressed by Lu Xiufan, and everything went wrong. Yue Xuan didn't know that the troubles of the family came from Lu Xiufan, and wanted to use the marriage with the Lu family to consolidate the power of the family.

Everything after that has nothing to do with Yue Ze. Because until he died, no one knew that he was a healthy person, and no one was really sad about his death. With a cold heart, he silently left this pale world.

When Shang Ke came here, Yue Ze had already become a promise-keeper, and as "Shang Ze", he was hired by Lu Xiufan and was currently on his way to Boya County.

[Main quest: Become the heir of the Yue family again.]

Shang Ke turned his head to look out the window, and said in his heart: Yue Ze, don't worry, I will seek justice for you, and I will not let the truth be buried with you forever.

"Mr. Shang, it's here." The driver stopped the car and said to Shang Ke in the back seat.

Shang Ke got out of the car, and the first thing that caught his eye was a garden-style courtyard, spacious and bright, with a pleasant view. In front of the garden stood a majestic villa, which seemed to be some years old.

An old man dressed as a housekeeper greeted him and said with a smile, "Mr. Shang, welcome to the Lu family's villa, please come in."

Shang Ke followed the housekeeper into the villa and listened to his introduction: "I am Fei Lin, the housekeeper of the Lu family. If you encounter any problems in work and life in the future, you can come to me."

Shang Ke nodded and didn't answer.

Fei Lin didn't care either. He was very aware of the character of promise-keepers. They were always taciturn and business-like, without the slightest emotional fluctuations.

Fei Lin led Shang Ke into a room, and said, "This is your room. The master's room is the last one at the end of the corridor. He is not in the villa at the moment, and he will not be back in about three days. Please familiarize yourself with it in the past few days. Villa environment.”

Fehling didn't remind him to carefully check the workflow and task arrangement, because the biggest advantage of a promise-keeper is efficient execution. He believed that before he arrived at the villa, he had memorized all the details of the contract and work in his mind.

Flynn said a few more words and left the room.

It was only then that Shang Ke loosened his tense nerves. It was really not easy to be a qualified facial paralysis.

He took out the contract and worksheet from the suitcase, glanced at it at random, and remembered it clearly.

Fehling was very old, and hiring people at this time should be to share the affairs and gradually hand over. His work includes not only helping Lu Xiufan with official affairs, security guards, but also his usual diet and daily life.

Shang Ke put away the documents, packed up the luggage, then left the room and went out to familiarize himself with the environment.

For Shang Ke, who is a promise-keeper, Fei Lin is still quite relieved. Before he entered the villa, Fei Lin found another person to re-examine his body and confirmed the identity of his promise-keeper. Once this is established, there is no need to investigate other backgrounds, because the covenant-keeper will not betray his employer and will not repeat another covenant before ending an employment.

This is the only and most precious quality left of all covenant keepers after losing their emotions, and it is also a cruel brand.

There are very few servants in this villa, except for the housekeeper Fehlin, there is only one cook, one gardener, two guards and two maids. Shang Ke guessed that there must be no important information in this villa, just a place where Lu Xiufan usually rests and relaxes.

He really wanted to meet this man now, and he wondered if he was the one he was looking for. However, even if it is true, he does not plan to develop further with him, because this mission, whether he can survive or not, will only have a lifespan of 35 years in the end. There is no hope in the beginning, it is better to never start.

His identity as a promise-keeper can just be his cover. How can a person who has no feelings have feelings for others
