I'll Add Points To All Things - Chapter 299

Chapter 299: A Night Encounter Qu Xiaomeng While She Jogs

Five minutes later, Janet appeared from the pool without a single stain, not even a spatter of blood on her body.

Su Yang held his left hand over the broken finger of his right hand, and asked while enduring the pain, “All done?”

Janet nodded. “Yeah.”

He had always been so concise and cold. However, it was unclear how he became one of Su Yang’s most indispensable helpers.

Su Yang counted and among the monsters by his side. Little Deeny and Janet who happens to be the ‘lover’ of Little Hus seem to be the most useful among the rest. Well, that is if they could be considered a couple.’

Su Yang had a feeling that something would go wrong with them eventually… ‘I hope I’m just thinking too much.’

Seeing Su Yang in a trance, Janet saluted. “My Lord, I’ll go ahead and buy the raw meat.”

Su Yang waved his hand. “Go ahead.”

He didn’t give Janet the money, because Janet would take Little Deeny with her. When it was time to pay, Su Yang would receive a prompt and he could just enter his password.

After all, 500 pounds of raw meat wasn’t light to begin with, and moving it back was rather troublesome. A better way was to sweep it all into the virtual space after finding a secluded corner.

After Janet left, Su Yang was handed the [Double-Sided Salted Fish Mask] from a little monster bean.

At this moment, he was physically and mentally exhausted. He desperately needed to turn into a salted fish so he could rest and recuperate.

Regarding the choice he would have to make between his mental or physical wellness, he chose his mental health after thinking for a while.

Although he was physically exhausted, he felt like he was about to blackout in a couple of minutes after using his [Booth of Exchanging Secrets], his silver ability [Hands of Fate] twice, and the evil item [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass] three times.

For the sake of Sanque’s hands, Su Yang felt like he should recover his mental state. As for the physical pain he was under, he’d bear with it and wait for it to pass.

Then, he put on the salted fish mask.

After a moment, the mask disappeared and he felt a breeze on his face. It was like he was in the middle of a primitive jungle, breathing in the crisp, fresh air.

His head and mind emptied themselves as he felt the pain in his fingers ease significantly.

Thinking of them, he couldn’t help it when Sanque’s new arm came to his mind.

In the past, Sanque tore his arm off to save Su Yang, using it as medicine. Its arm could regrow itself and at this moment, a sprout of flesh the size of a finger was in its place. It seemed as if it would take about two months for it to be restored to its original state.

After brushing off these thoughts, Su Yang stopped thinking about the things he was worried about in his future. Things like how the movies were going to be shot, whether or not it’d lose money, how he’d deal with the Feng family, how he’d handle the clean-up for the [In] App, and much more.

At this moment, the only thing he wanted was to lie down.

It was better to be comfortable while laying down.

Su Yang lay down on the sofa and felt a burst of pain in his fingers as he called up an interface before him to start his MOBA game, Honor of Kings.

He felt like the name of the game had a hidden meaning to warn its players. Playing this game was like honoring the rulers as he took lives.

After playing for a few days, Su Yang realized that the game was like Douyin. Both were rather time-consuming and just after he played a few games, he realized that a couple of hours had passed.

However, this game was meant for the ‘complete’ Su Yang. He felt every second pass like they were years after he lost two fingers!

Despite being at a 50-star rank, he couldn’t even beat a silver-ranked player because he was missing two fingers!

‘This is just too frustrating!’

Because of this, Su Yang figured he couldn’t do this any longer. He wasn’t just unhappy, but he was trolling his teammates as well!

With his head spinning, he called out to the empty house, “Dee~ Dee~ Dee~ Dee!”

Little Deeny’s voice sounded in his ear, “What is it, Master?”

Su Yang asked, “Can you get a separate core to help me play the game?”

Little Deeny was speechless.

Little Deeny was typing the code at an insane speed. Her AI development was at a critical moment.

She didn’t even think that her master had called her just to help him with a game!

She spoke to Su Yang, “Master, play your game with a competitive spirit. I can’t play on your behalf!”

‘Gotcha… I just got rejected.’ Su Yang stopped talking and curled his lips, thinking it would be better if he played the game by himself. He thought begging others was better than begging to himself. He didn’t believe that he couldn’t beat this bunch of silver players with his rank!

Su Yang vowed to show them the strength of the 50 stars he had at his rank!

As for why his current rank wasn’t at High King but was Silver… It was because Tencent was pushing his rank down. Else, he would’ve become High King a long time ago.

With that in mind, Su Yang left the fountain he spawned from for the seventh time.

After playing the game for three hours with eight fingers, Su Yang felt extremely relaxed. Of course, his teammates might not be as untiltable as he was.

Seeing the endless shouting and cursing, Su Yang was sure they reported him after the game. He figured that they’d add points to the LAN cables if they could, go through it, and hit him from the other end.

Su Yang’s mental state at that point was exceptional. It wasn’t just because of the Salted Fish Mask but also because he felt like he deserved it. It was because… He just couldn’t give a damn.

He looked up and wondered how he was such a newb. ‘Perhaps… I’m the king of noobs.’

Just as Su Yang was shamelessly lamenting, he heard a sound. “Bang! Bang!” Two sacks then fell out of thin air into the living room as blood spattered around him.

For a moment, the smell of blood suffused the room and his glorious villa now looked a lot stranger.

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Didn’t I just say that Janet is reliable? No… Someone else must’ve said that.

‘I mean… what’s the issue with throwing raw meat around like that, right?’

After a moment, Janet appeared in the virtual space covered in blood, looking incomparably horrifying.

It was just that Su Yang couldn’t feel the killing aura of that ferocious beast at all since he was wearing the salted fish mask. He put the virtual interface aside and looked at Janet. “Are you slaughtering the raw meat yourself?”

Janet shook her head. “There were people on the road. That’s why I carried it all the way to the alley where no one was looking.

“I didn’t want to scare you, so I came in to talk to you.”

After saying that, he saluted. “In that case, my Lord, I’ll take my leave.”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘You’re going out looking like that? Aren’t you afraid you’ll get arrested as a murderer?’

“Why don’t you go to the bathroom and take a shower. I’ll just go out.”

With that, Su Yang silently muttered, “Leave.”

Suddenly, his figure slowly disappeared from the virtual space.

A moment later, his feet were atop damp, mossy ground.

Su Yang picked Little Deeny up from the ground, wiped it on his clothes, and walked out of the alley with leisurely steps.

The place Janet bought meat from wasn’t far from the neighborhood. Su Yang used the Baidu Map to set a destination, find a route, identify the direction, and walked toward the neighborhood.

The salted fish mask was invisible when worn, so Su Yang wasn’t afraid of being seen by others. Instead, his fingers had been aching so he felt a little discomfort.

Along the way to the neighborhood, a notification alerted Su Yang in his mind. [Beep! New random mission!]

‘Huh? A mission in the middle of the night?’

With that in mind, Su Yang opened the system and it prompted him. [New Random Task: Help Qu Xiaomeng.]

‘Right, what’s the matter with Teacher Qu again this time? Has she been robbed again?

‘Doesn’t seem like the case according to this mission statement.

‘Then what is it? Did she break her ankle? Are her b*obs too big that she’s getting a cramp?’

While thinking blindly, Su Yang tapped on the red map marker and the mission target of the random mission.

Qu Xiaomeng wasn’t far from himself.

The target image just looked like she was in a state of confusion and didn’t look like she was in danger.

Su Yang pondered if he should head over. It seemed like the mission was rather simple.

As the thought ran through his mind, he suddenly felt a wave of lethargy going through his head. He really didn’t want to go. After all, he would have to take several more steps.

Heading back for a good night’s sleep was much better. It had nothing to do with the mission and besides, missions are such a bore…

‘Anyway, I still have 1,700 coins. It’s enough.

‘I don’t know… Qu Xiaomeng is probably fine.’

Thinking this way, Su Yang lazily made a decision to ignore the quest and go home.

After settling down, Su Yang continued to walk in the neighborhood. However, what he didn’t expect was that the system interface he didn’t bother to turn off actually showed Qu Xiaomeng walking in his direction.

‘What’s she doing?

‘Is she trying to bump into me?’

With that in mind, Su Yang ran into Qu Xiaomeng head-on.

Qu Xiaomeng was wearing a sports outfit today, the bottom half of which was sporty shorts and the top half of which was… A sporty mini tank top.

She was the type of girl who was slightly chubby and she had a bit of baby fat on her face. Despite all that, her waist was thin. This gym outfit showed off her figure and would make people light up at first glance.

After all, she had a body type that most guys preferred — feminine.

‘It’s just… Will wearing this kind of outfit out at 11:30 at this time of night attract perverts?’

Su Yang asked curiously, “Mr. Qu, what are you doing?”

Su Yang’s voice made Qu Xiaomeng look over as she said in surprise, “Su Yang?! Is that you?”

Su Yang thought. ‘I surely am the most handsome! Look at how excited my teacher is!’

Su Yang replied, “Yeah, it’s me.”

Qu Xiaomeng leaped up and said, “Great, great. I was running at night outside our neighborhood, and I couldn’t find my way back. Can you bring me back to our neighborhood?”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Is it too late to retract the shameless remark I’m about to make?’

Su Yang said, “You’re dressed like this at night just to run at night?”

Her usually rather foggy brain was working a little hard. ‘Shouldn’t she be wearing sportswear to run at night? Isn’t dressing like this a little too much?’

He bobbed his head, then took it upon himself to misdirect the conversation away from her clothes, “So now, you’re the one who can’t find your way back?”

Qu Xiaomeng nodded.

Su Yang took out his phone and sent a message to Little Deeny, “Help me get a shirt.”

He then took the opportunity to turn around and took out a thin t-shirt from his phone before handing it to Qu Xiaomeng.

Qu Xiaomeng received the shirt in a muddled state, her eyes resting on Su Yang’s hand which only had three fingers as she blinked.

Su Yang said, “Put on the clothes, I’ll send you back.”

“Uh-oh. Okay.” Qu Xiaomeng obeyed and put the t-shirt on.

Su Yang’s clothes were a bit too big for her.

After putting on her clothes, Qu Xiaomeng looked at Su Yang and asked, “Su Yang, my fellow student, what’s wrong with your hand…”

‘Hand?’

Su Yang looked down at his right hand, only to realize that he only had three fingers left. It dawned on him then that he seemed to have accidentally used his right hand when he gave Qu Xiaomeng.

It couldn’t be said that he was careless. Rather, it seemed like he was used to it. After all, his dominant hand was his right hand so he subconsciously used his right hand to hold things.
