Chapter 7: Tasks

Boss: "Congratulations, you have successfully completed the first task. The payment for the task has been credited to your account. Now, please proceed to the second task!"

Fang Cao: "Is the task remuneration 1950 yuan? Did you transfer that money?"

Thus, Fang Cao's first venture into business began.

The dim, yellowish streetlights emitted a feeble glow along the roadside, casting their light upon her face, pale as paper

What are you going there to do

Her words were not yet finished when the other party continued, "Do you want revenge? Do you want to change your fate? Do you want those who have harmed you to pay the price? You only need to complete two simple tasks, and we can help you achieve your desires"

It is still early, and my parents' phones are usually turned off at this time

A cold, deep male voice suddenly came through the phone

"Task? What kind of task? Who exactly are you?" Fang Cao, unable to consider the strangeness of the phone call, immediately asked eagerly upon hearing that the other party could help him take revenge

Boss: "Selling flowers"

Just as Fang Cao was filled with confusion, the boss's phone call came in again

Boss: "That is what you deserve"

What is the task? Despite her inner confusion, the urgent desire for revenge overcame everything. She asked impatiently

Run, run!

A flash of lightning tore through the sky, and the thunder shook the earth, causing the entire city to tremble with unease. Amidst the chaos, heavy rain finally poured down in torrents, washing away this world filled with sin

Her demands are truly very simple, very pure, and very insignificant

Has the person from the flour mill turned over a new leaf

When she arrived at the roadside carrying a basket of fresh flowers, her heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation

Fang Cao: "Then how can that be? You all help me take revenge, and still..."

She knows that the player who comes to buy her flowers is very likely the one who will act justly and help her achieve her revenge

In fact, she simply desires a stable job, through which she can earn a little more money through her own efforts and diligence to send back home, thereby alleviating some of her parents' burdens

Five days later, Fang Cao suddenly received a notification from the bank indicating that there was a deposit of 1,950 yuan in the account

It seems that as long as every ounce of strength within the body is squeezed out, the tearing pain in the lower abdomen can be forgotten

If you have the ability, just let me know? Let's see who becomes infamous first, and by then, will you still have the face to live on? Hahaha ... ...

Rather than believing this, it is better to believe that it is the work of that mysterious "boss".

She took out her phone, which displayed an unfamiliar number

At this moment, all is silent, as if all living beings tremble and suffocate in anticipation of the impending storm.

She closed her eyes, preparing to bravely take the final leap of her life

She finally collapsed by the roadside, utterly exhausted

In the early hours of the second day, the rain had lessened and there were many books. In the thick darkness, Fang Cao donned a bright red dress and, with great difficulty, climbed up to the rooftop of the hospital ward building.

"Wait until you complete the first task before we speak. At that time, our changer of fate will contact you directly"

Who is that person

This bank card was issued as a salary card when she worked at the flour mill, and the amount of 1950 is precisely the salary that was deducted from her by the flour mill

She had never aspired to one day transform into a city dweller

When Mu Zixu approached her and demanded all her flowers, Fang Cao was filled with astonishment. She found it hard to believe how such a frail young man could possibly help her seek revenge

However, the thunderous roar that echoed through the clouds soon drowned out her cries of anger

Dressing in red and committing suicide to transform into a vengeful spirit, then returning to seek revenge on one's enemies after death? Don't be foolish; such melodramatic plots only exist in movies

She was wearing a striped hospital gown, insufficient to cover her body, with disheveled hair and bare feet, running wildly on the deserted street at midnight

To understand, a person like Wu Haotian is certainly not someone that an ordinary person can handle

What kind of person will he be? Is he male or female? Is he a peer or an older man?

The first task is to secretly investigate all circumstances regarding Wu Haotian, observing and recording his every move, including his commuting to and from work, eating, sleeping, using the restroom, and all other routines. The more detailed your records are, the higher the efficiency of avenging the great grievance.

So... does that mean I just need to wait for him

In just under half a month, she met her demise, filled with humiliation and resentment, defending her dignity and innocence with her own blood

She sent her father the last text message, reminding him and her mother to remember to take their medicine on time and not to overexert themselves

Standing at the height of twenty-two stories, gazing into the distance, the city's hazy lights resemble the sleeping eyes of death

Boss: "Yes, your task is to sell all the flowers to one person"

Fang Cao: "You just mentioned ... ... the second task, may I ask what that is?"

At the end of one's life, who will be the one to make this call

Driving luxury cars, residing in large houses, and dressing elegantly while frequenting high-end clubs—these are the exclusive pleasures of city dwellers that she has never dared to aspire to

All of them

Fang Cao was taken aback and asked in disbelief, "Who are you? How do you know... ?"

Boss: "Go to the entrance of the Blue Dragonfly mobile phone market, there is a bus stop nearby"

Fang Cao escaped from the hospital room at this moment

Come on

Yet, such a simple wish has now burst like a soap bubble

In my mind, I recalled Wu Haotian's arrogant and twisted face, and finally, in the torrential rain, Fang Cao let out a furious roar, releasing the pent-up resentment that had been building for a long time

Fang Cao believes that this is her way of seeking revenge, the only way.

The cold wind at high altitude swept through with strands of rain, and her bright red dress fluttered like flames burning in the darkness

At that moment, the cheap phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated

At this moment, Fang Cao forgot his fear, and a smile of satisfaction, as if his wishes had been fulfilled, appeared on his face

Heavy dark clouds descended from the sky, as if they were about to compress the entire Earth into a flat disc

Not long ago, she set foot on this land with a sense of wonder, determined to carve out a place for herself in the city through her diligence and hard work

Having joined the game for such a long time, she had never encountered any other players within the game. Now, she was finally about to meet other gamers face to face for the first time

Exhausted, she collapsed by the roadside like a puddle of mud

Even if the boss's call is a deception, what I am doing is not entirely meaningless. Only by thoroughly understanding Wu Haotian's actions can I possibly devise a way to take revenge

Her mind was flooded with the image of her parents' graying hair, and tears surged like a tide.

Let this raging storm submerge the entire city and bring the whole Earth to its end

"You may call me Boss," the other party replied nonchalantly. "We are a perfect destiny-altering system that rewrites anyone's fate through a game. If you wish to change your own fate and that of your enemies, please join our game."

In that way, all evils and injustices, strengths and weaknesses can disappear together, perishing in unison

The boss said, "That person will secretly take pictures of you with their phone, and then will actively come over to buy all your flowers."

Since living cannot shake Wu Haotian, then in death, she must avenge this deep-seated blood feud

Selling flowers?

As a child who emerged from the depths of the mountains, Fang Cao has never been a greedy, hypocritical, or overly ambitious person

How is money created

It is said that a person who has died unjustly, if dressed in red before their death, can transform into a vengeful spirit after death to seek revenge on their enemies

She answered the phone

My daughter is unfilial; if there is an afterlife, let me fulfill my filial duties to you once more

Who could it be

Boss: "What is important is that you must tell him your story"

This is precisely what revenge must entail. Fang Cao thought to herself, biting her lip and saying, "Alright! I will do it! And then what?"

Strange

During the time without any news from the boss, Fang Cao has been comforting himself in this manner

She walked to the edge of the rooftop and slowly spread her arms

Boss: "In our game, effort will always yield rewards"

After saying this, the boss hung up the phone

Boss: "Let it be, let's see his communication skills"

Thus, Fang Cao abandoned the plan of suicide and began to secretly observe and record everything about Wu Haotian as instructed by his boss

At this moment, watching the bus carrying Mu Zixu gradually recede into the distance and finally disappear amidst the bustling traffic, Fang Cao's face was filled with curiosity and anticipation
