Chapter 153: There is no such thing as free lunch

  Jiang Youtao knew that it was risky to do so, but since she knew about the existence of this department, if she didn't deal with it, someone would find them sooner or later. This is the capital, and when you walk on the street, you can see soldiers, armed police, and public security patrolling the streets.

  And since last year, Jiang Youtao has never stopped reading newspapers. In July last year, the great earthquake in Hebei Province still happened.

  But this time, the earthquake did not cause many casualties. A month before the disaster, the government began to organize the evacuation of the people. On the day of the earthquake, there were almost no casualties except for a few chickens and ducks that were not taken away, and a few old men and women who really did not want to evacuate and secretly returned home.

  Before Jiang Youtao was reborn, she had watched a video that listed the major disasters that had occurred in New China, with the earthquake in Hebei Province at the top of the list. In that disaster, the death toll reached an astonishing 240,000, and the number of casualties was more than 160,000.

  Compared with the two worlds, the difference in the number of casualties is so huge, it is simply a world of difference.

  Whenever Jiang Youtao thought of this incident, she felt her heart surge with emotion.

  She also wanted to contribute her part to the country. And she remembered that in the late 1970s, there was still a war to be fought that lasted for ten years.

  This time, the battle was in a tropical jungle, and China's soldiers suffered a lot. Jiang Youtao could not stop the war from happening, but she could make the soldiers suffer less in that war.

  She believe Meng Linyi has made a lot of preparations in terms of medicine, but in terms of weapons, she should still lag behind Western countries.

  Especially the equipment for jungle warfare. Jiang Youtao did not plan to buy firearms that were too far beyond this era, because the hardware and software facilities could not keep up.

  Therefore, she planned to buy the blueprints directly. With the blueprints, there was still more than a year for their scientists to develop and test the device.

  She had saved up a lot of money, and Jiang Youtao picked out the drawings of four or five types of jungle combat equipment. In the end, she spent more than half of her fortune to buy two computers.

  It was a big-backed computer from the 1990s. This kind of computer seemed very backward to Jiang Youtao. After getting used to the compact, convenient and fast computers of later generations, this kind of computer was bulky, inconvenient to carry and very slow.

  But in the 1970s, these two computers were epoch-making products. According to melon-eating system, the world's first personal computer would not be available until four years later. But it would take until the 1990s for it to enter thousands of households in China.

  The most conservative estimate is ten years.

  At present, there are computers in China, which are specially used to calculate ballistics. They are large and bulky, occupying an area of at least 100 square meters. There are very few computers used for data storage and daily communication.

  After buying these things, Jiang Youtao's melon coins became three digits again, but she didn't feel sorry at all.

  She grew up in an orphanage, which received government funding every year. The funding provided for the basic living needs of these children, and the nine-year compulsory education allowed these children to go to school.

  They have received poverty subsidies every year since they started primary school, and the subsidies only ended when they graduated from college.

  Jiang Youtao didn't achieve much in her previous life. After graduation, she was just an ordinary office worker and had no power to serve her country.

  Things are different now. Perhaps she can contribute her own part to the development of the motherland.

  It was two days later that Xiao He saw Gu Hanshen again. As soon as he saw him, he couldn't wait to tell Gu Hanshen about his observations of He Xunrao during this period.

  "He is so unlucky. He is just like Xu Baozhu. He falls when he walks, chokes when eating and drinking water, and even falls off the bed when he sleeps." Xiao He, who was watching from the side, felt it was so unfortunate.

  Gu Hanshen nodded: "Besides that, does he have any other abnormalities?"

  Xiao He's expression became serious. "Yes, our people once found him hiding from others and talking to the air. He even took something out of thin air."

  "I'll go see him."

  He Xunrao has been unlucky for many days in a row. This is a spell from the scumbag villain system. It will take at least half a month to get rid of the bad luck. He Xunrao has never been so unlucky since he was born.

  And after he lost his tooth, Shen Yuexiang hasn't come to see him for a long time. She said she would help him pay back the debt, but she hasn't been seen since.

  He Xunrao had no choice but to exchange 300 yuan from the system. He took the money to find Xu Qingqing, but Xu Qingqing took his money and drove him away, not even letting him see the child. He Xunrao didn't care about Jiao Baoer.

  He Xunrao left Xu Qingqing's stall selling roasted sweet potatoes with a gloomy face.

  Because at the moment when he was driven away by Xu Qingqing, the Scumbag Transformation System prompted him that his mission had failed.

  Once the mission fails, all the points he has earned in his previous life will be reset to zero, and he will not be able to leave this era early. He must live in this era until the original owner dies.

  He Xunrao felt very uncomfortable. After he paid back the money, he only had a few dozen dollars left from the original owner. The technology for making dental implants was not mature at this time, and he had no money.

  He Xunrao didn't want to bear this honor for more than ten years, so they might as well kill him. He didn't even want to talk these days.

  After thinking it over, he went to Shen Yuexiang's school. He was very unlucky. As soon as he arrived at the school gate, he saw a male classmate walking towards him, talking and laughing with Shen Yuexiang.

  When Shen Yuexiang saw him, her face looked ugly for a moment.

  The man next to Shen Yuexiang also saw He Xunrao coming. He smiled and asked Shen Yuexiang: "Comrade Shen, do you know him?"

  Shen Yuexiang smiled and said, "Comrade Wu, let me introduce you. This is He Xunrao, the brother of my neighbor who grew up with me. Brother He, this is my classmate, Wu Shaogang."

  Shen Yuexiang and He Xunrao had indeed been communicating all the time, but they both tacitly agreed not to break the window paper. After all, He Xunrao was a married man and lived in the countryside, so it was unrealistic for the two of them to have anything going on.

  It was not until he was admitted to university and returned home, and they came to the capital to go to university together, that their relationship quickly heated up.

  But all this was based on He Xunrao's good looks. Now that He Xunrao has lost his teeth, Shen Yuexiang's obsession with him has suddenly subsided.

  When He Xunrao was handsome, Shen Yuexiang could find excuses for his past deceptions and forgive him. But once he lost his handsome appearance, Shen Yuexiang quickly lost her interest on him.

  Shen Yuexiang still can't forget the way He Xunrao got up from the ground and smiled at her with his teeth broken. It was so painful.

  He Xunrao originally wanted to get money from Shen Yuexiang to get his teeth fixed. After all, in the original owner's memory, Shen Yuexiang could give up everything for him. The Shen family did not agree with Shen Yuexiang being with the original owner, but it was Shen Yuexiang's insistence that made the Shen family helpless.

  And after marriage, Shen Yuexiang has always supported his career and regarded him as her god.

  He Xunrao was devastated. He thought Shen Yuexiang was a bootlicker, but he didn't expect that Shen Yuexiang was a face-hungry person.

  Shen Yuexiang didn't care how ugly He Xunrao's face was. She said to Wu Shaogang, "Student Wu, you go up first. I want to talk to my brother."

  Wu Shaogang glanced at Shen Yuexiang and left first.

  Shen Yuexiang stood next to He Xunrao and said, "Brother Xunrao, you know that my family has never supported my relationship with you. This time, my mother wrote to me and told me that if I continue to have a relationship with you, my living expenses will be cut off, so let's just leave it at that."

  Shen Yuexiang left after she finished speaking. She left so fast that He Xunrao didn't even have time to react.

  After He Xunrao's mission failed, Jiang Youtao had been paying attention to him. Seeing this scene, she found it incredible.

  [ She broke up with He Xunrao just like that. Didn't they not break up in the previous life before the quick traveler came? ] Xu Qingqing still made a fuss in that life, but Shen Yuexiang still stayed with He Xunrao despite everyone's opposition.

  This life left too quickly.

  The melon-eating system said: [ In the life before the fast traveler came, He Xunrao was already with Shen Yuexiang, and Shen Yuexiang also spent a lot of money on He Xunrao. The sunk cost of breaking up with He Xunrao was too high, so she never broke up with He Xunrao. She treated He Xunrao so well after marriage, purely because her parents had all gone through the same thing. ]

  Jiang Youtao didn't say anything else. She had no sympathy for Shen Yuexiang. She had been communicating with He Xunrao since he got married. She knew that He Xunrao had a wife and children, but she still chose to be with him.

  This is knowing she's a mistress and willingly became a mistress. She was able to withdraw in this life only because He Xunrao was disfigured. If He Xunrao had not been disfigured, she would still choose to be entangled with He Xunrao.

  The sixteenth book on the bookshelf has turned gray.

  The story of this small world ended so quickly that Jiang Youtao didn't even have time to react.

  The melon-eating system has learned from other masters: [ This kind of fast-travelers, their tasks are all based on the love of the task object. Like this fast-traveler, he relies on the scumbag transformation system to complete these tasks. ]

  [ If the beginning is not favorable, like this time, the mission will fail. ]

  [ The scumbag transformation system number 255 is one of the defected systems. Because of the special nature of this system, coupled with the fact that the rules and regulations of the Wantong world and many technologies were not perfect many years ago, it is easy for them to defect. ]

  [ Once upon a time, it was called the Vow Repaying System. It was designed to help those whose spirits did not dissipate after death and whose resentment was not dispelled but who could not return to the human world. The hosts they chose were all good people, and the original owners they chose were also people who had suffered a lot. ]

  [ The vow-fulfilling system still exists today. It relies on the host to eliminate the original owner's resentment to maintain its own energy. The host also receives certain rewards after completing the task. ]

  [ After this vow-fulfilling system defected, it found hosts with flawed personalities, and the targets of its missions were also those who were extremely evil and had flawed personalities. It relied on absorbing the souls of its original owners to maintain its own energy. ]

  [ Of course, he will not let the host go. After traveling through about ten worlds, the host's soul power will be extremely powerful. Absorbing the energy of one host is equivalent to absorbing the energy of ten original hosts. ]

  Jiang Youtao seemed to be thinking: [ So, after the fast traveler He Xunrao traveled through a world, his soul was eaten by the scumbag transformation system? ]

  The melon-eating system replied: [ Yes. ]

  [ What happens if the mission fails? ]

  [ He will be eaten together with the original owner after living through this world. ]

  Jiang Youtao understood, and the things that had always seemed out of place to her were now explained. She said, how could a proper system directly influence the tasker and help the tasker complete the task? The scumbag transformation system did this, so it must have other intentions.

  Now she knew that the purpose was not to complete the mission, but to make He Xunrao's soul stronger. There is really no free lunch in the world, and the system did not expect someone like her to exist.

  At this moment, Jiang Youtao looked at He Xunrao through the broadcast screen with a particularly loving gaze. What was the difference between him and the pigs raised in the pigpen?

  You deserve it. You deserve it. You deserve it for being a scumbag. You deserve to be cheated by a girl. You deserve to be a degenerate!

  Jiang Youtao had just finished expressing her feelings when she saw He Xunrao being taken away. She quietly packed up her things, told Gu Nianwei, Xu Manqiu and Fu Shaohua that she was going out, and then waited quietly at the school gate.

  She guessed that Gu Hanshen would come to see her after a while.
