Chapter 141 Appreciation ≠ Acceptance
Chapter 141 Appreciation ≠ Acceptance
Lu Changqing gave Shen Quanzhen a heads-up beforehand, saying, "The work of a tasker is not free."
Shen Quanzhen raised an eyebrow, "Can it become stronger?"
"of course."
"Can you live forever?"
Lu Changqing nodded, "In a sense, it's completely possible."
Shen Quanzhen stood up and made a very childish gesture, spreading his arms, with a defiant look on his face, and said in a firm and confident tone: "As long as I have enough time to become stronger, as long as I am strong enough, as long as I stand high enough, I can overlook everything and control my own destiny. By then, will I still be afraid of not being free?"
Lu Changqing applauded Shen Quanzhen, "Remember what you said now, especially when you are so angry with the people in the mission world that you want to kill people, you must remember your goal at the moment."
Shen Quanzhen put away the confident smile on his face, put down his hands and asked: "Are there many top-notch items in the mission world?"
"Oh, you even know the best." Lu Changqing joked, "Then do you think the 'you' in the story is the best?"
Shen Quanzhen said confidently: "Of course not, I have my own code of conduct, and everything I do has its own legitimate reasons."
"Then don't use the same rules as in the plot when you act in the mission world in the future. After entering the mission world, in addition to ensuring your own safety, you must put the interests of the client first."
"What you mean by this is that you think I am the best in the plot?"
Lu Changqing waved his hand and explained, "That's not what I meant. In the plot, you use all means to become stronger. I admire your ability and your courage to risk everything, but at the same time, I am also afraid of people like you who don't care about their relatives and other people's lives. It's too dangerous. For my own safety, I will stay away from people like you."
Shen Quanzhen sneered, "Don't you think I'm the best?"
"Can you please stop being so picky? I was just discussing the 'you' in the plot, not the you who is standing in front of me right now."
"Isn't that all me?"
"Well, it's you, it's you, it's you." Lu Changqing shrugged helplessly, "But even so, will my attitude towards you have any impact on you now?"
"It would make me unhappy."
Lu Changqing smiled helplessly, "There will be many situations that will make you unhappy in the future, and there will be more people who have opinions about you. If you care so much about what others think of you, it will be difficult to complete the task."
"I don't care what others think of me, I care what you think of me." Shen Quanzhen pursed his lips and looked solemn.
Lu Changqing asked: "Is it because I am the first person who told you that I understand 'you' that you care so much about my attitude towards you now? If so, it is totally unnecessary because there are many people who can understand the 'you' in the plot."
"But you just said that you would stay away from the me in the plot."
Lu Changqing asked back: "Would you keep someone around who could sell you out at any time?"
Shen Quanzhen shifted his gaze to the side somewhat awkwardly, not looking at Lu Changqing.
"See, you don't even like it." Lu Changqing stood up and patted Shen Quanzhen on the shoulder. "Don't dwell on the past, look to the future, and don't care about what others think of you. Just be yourself. Come on, sister. We still have a long way to go."
Shen Quanshen slapped Lu Changqing's hand off his shoulder and snorted, "You are so free and easy."
"Those who abandoned me, yesterday cannot be retained. Now that you are here, it is completely meaningless to dwell on the past. Since we have known each other for a while, I will give you a piece of advice. Do not play tricks on the taskers in the Infinite World, especially those who are ranked ahead of you. Few of them who can survive to this day are truly stupid."
"Are you warning me?"
Lu Changqing corrected, "I'm reminding you that this is not the plot world."
Shen Quanzhen said cunningly: "Thank you for your reminder, I'll remember it, and I will be more careful when I plot against others in the future."
Lu Changqing was speechless. She didn't know how much truth there was in Shen Quanzhen's words, but for the sake of their fellow disciples, she kindly reminded him, "If you insist on playing tricks, don't play tricks on your own people. If you cause trouble, Master's Wife won't let you go."
Shen Quanzhen said indifferently: "Then will you help me?"
Lu Changqing frowned and looked at Shen Quanzhen, and said seriously: "Shen Quanzhen, I don't think I owe you anything."
Shen Quanzhen curled his lips and said, "I was just joking just now. I haven't even passed the trial mission for the primary tasker yet, so how dare I plot against those old hands."
Lu Changqing frowned, his expression was extremely serious, "Whether you are joking or not, I sincerely advise you that the human heart cannot withstand temptation, and no one likes to associate with people who are too thoughtful."
Seeing Lu Changqing's dark face, Shen Quanzhen put away the smile on his face and asked, "Are you angry?"
"No, other people's affairs are not worth my anger." Lu Changqing had a blank expression and a cold tone.
Shen Quanzhen didn't expect that Lu Changqing would be upset because of his little joke. He promised uncomfortably: "I won't make such jokes next time."
Lu Changqing was indeed a little angry now. He didn't want to talk to Shen Quanzhen and started to drive him away. "You go do the mission. I have to do the mission too."
Shen Quanzhen explained: "I was really joking just now. I said that on purpose just to tease you."
"I'm really not angry. Please go. My client has been waiting for a long time."
Although Lu Changqing's complexion returned to normal and his tone was no longer as harsh as before, Shen Quanzhen could still feel that he was still angry.
"Then I'll go first and come see you later."
Lu Changqing nodded and said, "Go ahead and do your task well."
After Shen Quanzhen disappeared into space, the system dared to speak, "Changqing, are you really angry?"
Xiaoxue also flew to Lu Changqing's shoulder and looked at her with her head tilted.
"No, I don't get angry that easily. Besides, she has become a tasker now and is no longer my task target. I don't need to be responsible for her anymore. Whatever her future path is, it is her own choice."
The system silently complained in its mind, "You say one thing and mean another," but it consoled her, "I think she might really be joking with you. She's not stupid. How could she not know that the people here have hearts like honeycomb coals, and they are not only cunning but also very dark."
The more Lu Changqing listened, the more he felt that the system's words were strange. "Are you scolding me for being stupid and taking her too seriously, or are you scolding me for being cruel?"
"No, no, I'm talking about other taskers." The system pointed guiltily.
Xiaoxue bounced up and down on Lu Changqing's shoulders and expressed her opinion: "If she bothers you, let's just ignore her. It's better for the three of us to live a good life."
Lu Changqing tilted his head and looked at Xiaoxue's innocent and cute appearance with two big eyes, "System, what nonsense are you teaching Xiaoxue again?"
The system held its handkerchief tightly and whimpered aggrievedly, "Didn't you ask me to read more female-oriented novels? Xiaoxue insisted that I play them for her, and if I didn't agree, she threatened to fly freely in space. There was nothing I could do!"
Lu Changqing imagined a scene in which the space was full of bird shit, and he lifted Xiaoxue off his shoulders and pretended to spank her. Xiaoxue was so scared that she begged for mercy, "I didn't poop anywhere. I pooped in your little world, not in the space! Really! Changqing, you must believe me!"
Lu Changqing let Xiaoxue go and poked her head with his finger in annoyance, "Next time, if you dare to use this trick to threaten the system, I'll beat you up!"
