Chapter 278 Ruolan
While taking care of her child at home, Lu Yuanqing chatted with the upgraded system about the rewards after the upgrade.
"So, after you upgraded, the reward I received went from 500 yuan to 1,000 yuan?" Lu Yuanqing's face darkened.
"Do you think I'm short of money?"
Having witnessed the system's stinginess once again, Lu Yuanqing was speechless.
But he was still unwilling to give up; he had encountered the stingiest system ever.
All that talk about "golden fingers" is just nonsense; it's completely useless.
System 666 crashed, constantly feeling Lu Yuanqing's disdain for it. It couldn't take it anymore, so it had to endure it again.
"This isn't a reward I set!" System 666's mechanical voice sounded pitiful.
Lu Yuanqing, however, was completely unconvinced. "Tell me yourself, which of those protagonists who obtained the system received this as their reward for completing a task? Five hundred yuan? Oh, it's gone up now, it's a thousand. Do you think I'm short of that little bit of money?"
System 666 felt guilty. The host it was bound to could make money, and a lot of money at that, so it didn't care about its rewards at all.
But it's completely innocent!
As I said before, "Host, this task and reward weren't set by me, they were..."
The words came to an abrupt halt.
The scene immediately quieted down a bit.
System 666 was on the verge of tears!
Lu Yuanqing raised his eyebrows.
"Who gave me this task? Tell me!"
Having dealt with this idiotic system for so many years, Lu Yuanqing had long harbored many suspicions about it.
He was able to be reborn after death and obtain a system; it was as if an invisible hand was manipulating all of this.
Even if Lu Yuanqing had guessed something before, he knew his own abilities were limited and understood that he could not resist the system and the people behind it, or rather, whatever it might be.
He fantasized about being a powerful and arrogant hero, but he also knew that he was just an ordinary person, not a powerful and arrogant hero.
Knowing everything, what could he do? He couldn't change anything.
Besides, what does he want to change in his current life?
Even Lu Yuanqing himself didn't know!
Pursuing the matter is pointless, but that doesn't stop him from wanting to know the answers to everything.
System 666: "...Well, host, you'll know all the answers after you complete the mission."
Mission accomplished?
Lu Yuanqing rolled his eyes bluntly at this.
"What missions? You only have hidden missions here. I don't even know what the missions are. How can I complete them all?"
The system flattered, "Even though it's a hidden mission, you've still accomplished so much. I believe in you!"
Lu Yuanqing rolled his eyes again, speechless. "Should I thank you for your trust?"
"Hehe!" The system chuckled foolishly.
Lu Yuanqing snorted without giving him any face, "Logically speaking, I have already completed so many hidden missions, and each child has had one. So, I should have completed all the missions, right?"
"Does this mean that each child has more than one task?"
"Wait a minute!" Lu Yuanqing suddenly asked, as if he had just remembered something, "What did you say when you first came to me?"
System: "What?"
"Raise the cubs, nurture them into talents!!!" Lu Yuanqing murmured.
Yes, that's right, that's the sentence.
"Hahahaha... So that's how it is!"
System: "..." Oh no, the host has gone mad.
"Oh, I see!"
Lu Yuanqing couldn't care less about anything else right now; these words were all he could think about.
Raise the cubs and nurture them to become successful.
So, his ultimate task is to 'raise his offspring to become successful'?
Lu Yuanqing laughed until tears streamed down his face.
"I'm so smart! I even thought of that."
"Hahaha!!! You stupid system, you're a useless idiot!"
System: "..." I got scolded again!
"Host, are you crazy?!"
"Hahaha..." Lu Yuanqing laughed, "I'm not crazy, I just find it a little funny."
Damn it, it's such a simple thing, why do you have to make him guess?
You see, over the years, he has speculated more than once about the purpose of the system and the people or things behind it.
At the very least, it could be some kind of experiment.
Lu Yuanqing felt extremely uneasy whenever he thought of the word "experiment".
After all, if it's an experiment, then what is he?
Chess pieces in the experiment?
No one would be willing, and Lu Yuanqing was even less willing.
There are still some things I don't understand.
But Lu Yuanqing was certain of one thing: the arrival of the system and the people behind it meant them no harm.
On the contrary, the other party has a special affection for these children of the Lu family.
His ultimate goal was simply to raise the children of the Lu family.
Whether it's saving them from death or ensuring their future success, that's what the other party wants to see.
Therefore, Lu Yuanqing's ultimate task is just this.
There were no bizarre schemes or extraordinary plans.
The other party simply wants the Lu family's kids to have a good time.
Lu Yuanqing sat on the edge of the bed, watching the two little children who had woken up but were not crying. Instead, they were chattering away in words only they could understand.
Therefore, the other party did indeed help him to be able to live again.
He really did die from the fall.
And what about his family? How will they react?
What kind of expression would you have upon learning of his death?
Lu Yuanqing tilted his head and thought for a moment, then came up with an idea, but finally shook his head, feeling that it shouldn't be like that.
Finally, he got tired of thinking and started to find it boring.
It doesn't matter anyway!
The system sensed that his heart was gradually calming down before slowly speaking, "Host, are you alright?"
Although this host often scolds it for being useless, dislikes it, and schemes against it.
But after all these years, System 666 still developed different feelings for him.
Lu Yuanqing regained his composure, as if everything that had just happened was a dream.
After calming down, Lu Yuanqing stopped cursing the system and said calmly, "I'm fine!"
System: "...So you've completed two hidden tasks. Will you give me a direct cash reward or a lottery?"
Lu Yuanqing wasn't in the mood right now, and said, "Let's save it for the lottery! We'll talk about it when I feel like it!"
The system sensed that something was off about Lu Yuanqing, but it couldn't quite put its finger on it. Therefore, it didn't refuse Lu Yuanqing's request to claim the reward later.
"Get in here!!"
Just as the system was about to say something, a sharp voice came from outside the door.
Lu Yuanqing patted the two babies who had been frightened by the loud noise. Seeing that they were whimpering but not crying, he stood up and walked out.
Upon opening the door, one could see Lu Yuanbo pulling Lu Mingnan towards his home, followed by Xie Qianyu, Cheng Xia, and Lu Mingdong.
Lu Mingdong's expression was extremely cold.
Lu Yuanqing looked at this scene with confusion.
Lu Yuanbo showed no mercy. Upon seeing Lu Yuanqing, he shoved Lu Mingnan forward and angrily demanded, "Confess yourself, when did you get involved with that person?"
Lu Yuanqing frowned.
What's all mixed up?
Who is Lu Mingnan having an affair with?
"Third Uncle?" Lu Mingnan looked at Lu Yuanqing with a wronged expression.
Before Lu Yuanqing could say anything, Lu Yuanbo glared at him with displeasure, "Why are you pretending to be pitiful? Tell us in front of your third uncle when the educated youth got mixed up together."
Educated youth?
Lu Yuanqing finally heard some useful information.
Seeing that Lu Yuanbo was about to hit him in anger, Lu Yuanqing stopped him, "Don't hit him yet, let him explain himself first."
Lu Yuanqing never expected that Lu Mingnan would become close to the educated youth.
At his age, he probably wouldn't get close to male educated youth; the only ones he would get close to are female educated youth.
However, because of Lu Yuanqing's instructions to them, and the trouble these educated youths caused after they went to the countryside, their family adopted a respectful but distant attitude towards the educated youths.
Now Lu Mingnan is entangled with the educated youth, and Lu Yuanqing tells him to tell the story himself.
Lu Mingnan was very timid when facing Lu Yuanqing, probably because of his studies when he was a child, which left a considerable shadow on him during that period.
So, when faced with Lu Yuanqing staring at him and demanding that he tell what had happened, he chickened out and confessed little by little.
"It's Cheng Ruolan, Cheng Zhiqing, we're dating!"
Lu Mingnan's vow to return at the cost of his life surprised everyone present.
Lu Yuanbo couldn't hold back any longer and said, "You're already dating? How long have you been dating? How long have you been seeing each other? Tell me! Didn't I say that these educated youths are all trouble? Don't you remember anything about how they caused trouble before?"
Although Lu Mingnan was so scolded that he didn't dare to lift his head, he still retorted, "Cheng Zhiqing is different."
Lu Yuanbo was furious. "What did you say? Say it again!"
Lu Mingnan shrank his neck and shut his mouth.
Xie Qianyu tugged at Lu Yuanbo's clothes, signaling him to calm down.
Lu Yuanbo glanced at her and swallowed back the roar that was about to escape his lips.
Lu Yuanqing shook his head, looked at Lu Mingdong, and said, "You caught him on a date with Cheng Zhiqing?"
Lu Mingdong nodded, understanding that Lu Yuanqing wanted to know the situation, and said, "I discovered it!"
They were still watching a movie. After the first movie finished, while waiting for the second one, Lu Mingdong remembered Lu Yuanqing's instructions to keep an eye on Lu Mingbei and Lu Mingzhong before they came to the movies.
So, after telling Cheng Xia, he started looking for Lu Mingbei and the other person.
We're all from the same village, so even though it's late at night, there's nothing to worry about.
Lu Yuanqing was just giving a casual reminder, hoping they would remember to call their younger siblings home after the movie, since they were so engrossed in watching it.
However, when Lu Mingdong was searching for people, he didn't find the two younger ones, but instead saw Lu Mingnan chatting and laughing with a female educated youth.
Their family had little contact with the educated youth, so when they suddenly saw Lu Mingnan, who was clearly trying to please them, Lu Mingdong's eyes narrowed.
then……
Then Lu Mingnan was dragged back!
