Am I destined to be cannon fodder? Unlock the system and lead the motherland

Chapter 81: The Flower Appraiser, Little Fatty

In the end, the little fat boy could only beg for mercy in a miserable state. The scene still makes me laugh out loud when I think about it!

Here, Yun Yimeng and Shi Heshen were searching everywhere, but they still couldn't find the courtyard where the melodious guzheng sound came from.

Finally, they arrived at Gao Junzhi's residence.

At this moment, the sound of the guzheng stopped abruptly, and the surroundings returned to silence.

Although they failed to find the mysterious person playing the guzheng, Yun Yimeng only wanted to see Gao Junzhi at this moment.

In front of the courtyard gate, an old man opened the door and asked.

She glanced around and saw that there was no one else in the yard.

The old man asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

When Shi Heshen heard the old man directly ask who he was, he felt unhappy and could only lower his attitude slightly.

He gritted his teeth and replied respectfully, "I'm here to visit Senior Gao Junzhi."

Yun Yimeng then stepped forward and responded with a gentle smile, "We are here to visit Senior Gao today, as someone has entrusted us to do."

The old man's eyes were as sharp as an X-ray scanner. He looked up and down, left and right, front and back, at Shi Heshen and Yun Yimeng.

Interesting, really interesting!
As for Shi Heshen, he pretended to be a little respectful like a grandson meeting his grandfather on the surface, but the little schemes in his heart were louder than the beads on an abacus - it was obvious that he was suffering from the "young master syndrome" and was arrogant.

It guessed that if this guy didn't need help from others, he would have written the word "unhappy" on his face long ago. How could he still be smiling here?

Look at Yun Yimeng again, her gentle smile can melt the ice in winter.

But look behind that smile, that professional fake smile is more accurate than KFC's French fries. This face must have had a lot of injections. If he smiles any longer, his face will become as stiff as a stone sculpture.

To use the popular words nowadays, this is a standard "white lotus" that can be blown to and fro by a slight breeze.

Especially since she's carrying an advanced system. With this configuration, could it be that the heroine of a Mary Sue novel has traveled through time? Oh my god...

After the old man carefully identified the situation, he concluded that it was obvious that these two people had bad auras.

So the old man quickly took the most direct and effective measure. He said firmly: "Sorry, I'm afraid you have come to the wrong place."

As soon as the words fell, there was a clear and decisive "bang!"

The door is closed.

The two figures were also isolated outside.

Seeing this, Yun Yimeng quietly tugged at Shi Heshen's sleeve. Her voice was soft and apologetic, "Heshen, let's go back. You've worked so hard today. You even took time off from your busy company affairs just to relax with me."

Shi Heshen responded calmly: "Compared to you, those are nothing."

Yun Yimeng then took Shi Heshen's arm again, biting her red lips lightly, a complex glint in her eyes: "You don't have to accompany me here. I am Ximo's aunt, and logically, we should keep our distance. I don't want our relationship to be affected by any rumors from the outside world."

When Shi Heshen heard this, doubt and dissatisfaction unconsciously condensed between his brows, and his tone was obviously irritated: "Why did you mention her name? There is absolutely no need for the two of us to avoid any suspicion. As for other people's opinions, to me, they are not worth mentioning and not worth taking to heart."

The door slammed shut with a sense of "finally being freed", announcing its determination.

"Bye, the excitement is yours, I just want peace and quiet!"

The old man behind the door let out a long sigh, which blew up all the dust in the yard.

Then, the old man put one eye close to the crack of the door and saw that Shi Heshen and Yun Yimeng did not stay for long and left immediately.

Confirmed, it's safe.

After a while, he suddenly turned back into a chubby little boy.

The little chubby boy patted his chest and muttered, "Oh my god, that advanced system wasn't secretly observing me, a little chubby boy, was it? I almost had to reboot the whole system. That would have been really embarrassing, and a reboot would take time to load!"

-

-

The little fat boy jumped twice on the ground with his round body to celebrate his successful "pass".

With a wave of the little hand, a light screen appeared in the air, densely recording everything that had just happened.

As expected, it was a rookie system, and it couldn't find the activity records of the advanced system.

The sound of light footsteps outside the door abruptly brought the little fat boy back to reality. He was quick-witted, and the screen disappeared without a trace. He instantly switched to "senior old man" mode, sitting upright behind the door with a calm expression that said "I know nothing and have done nothing."

What was going on in his mind? A storm was brewing, a wave of emotions surging. "Could it be that those two people from earlier, unable to see Senior Gao Junzhi give up, had come back to attack?"

Outside the door, the footsteps gradually faded away and finally disappeared without a trace.

The little chubby system finally dared to breathe deeply, stroking its chest with its hand, looking like it had just survived a disaster: "I was so scared, my little heart almost jumped out of the universe."

On the way back, Shi He recalled how the old man had just ignored him and slammed the door shut, clearly asking him to leave. His face suddenly turned gloomy, and an anger that could not be ignored flashed in his eyes.

He secretly felt indignant: If it were in East City, who would dare treat him like this? This treatment was clearly a naked disregard for his status! However, he soon realized that this place was not the East City where he was powerful, but an unknown small town.

After walking a thousand meters, Yun Yimeng's steps suddenly froze, and she once again caught the faint sound of the piano that had been lingering in her ears before.

It was as delicate as the gentlest first ray of light in the morning light, and as long as the stars that never dimmed in the night sky. It not only continued to echo in her ears, but also stirred up continuous waves in Yun Yimeng's heart, causing her eyes to shrink involuntarily.

Although it is as ethereal as the clouds lingering in the mountains and difficult to grasp, it contains amazing power, which can overcome invisible obstacles to interpret a magnificent picture and penetrate the mountains. Every rock carved by time is eventually gathered into an ocean by this power, dancing with the wind and rain between heaven and earth.

Even those seemingly indestructible boulders seemed extremely fragile in the face of this force, and were eventually shattered into pieces, turned into dust, and merged into this vast world.

Yun Yimeng's mood fluctuated with the rise and fall of the piano music. She unconsciously tightened her grip on Shi Heshen's arm. It was an almost instinctive fear, and also a cover-up for her inner turmoil.

-

"Why is this annoying piano sound coming again?" Yun Yimeng was a little dazed, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes. The piano sound was like a mirror, reflecting the inexplicable jealousy and confusion in her heart - jealous of the player behind the piano sound, and dazed that she would be disturbed by a melody at this moment.

When the heavenly melody of Yun Huanling's guzheng filled the entire space again, the little fat boy seemed to wake up from a dream, muttering to himself: "When? This girl actually brought back that antique guzheng like magic without anyone noticing? I didn't even notice!"
The little fat boy slipped into the living room and saw Yun Huanling's fingers lightly resting on the strings of the guzheng. The sound of the guzheng stopped abruptly, like a spring that was suddenly cut off.

"Little Fatty, you were so awesome just now! If there was a 'cuteness ranking,' you'd definitely hold the top spot, pushing the baby pandas down to second place!" After settling the konghou, the 'cool goddess' of the classical instrument world, Yun Huanling turned and asked curiously, "Are you like those heroes in Honor of Kings, able to change skins at any time and show off in endless ways?"

Upon hearing this, the little fat boy perked up immediately. He straightened his back, his face filled with the words "look how awesome I am" and his arrogance started to rise: "Of course! Ever since I leveled up, it's been an incredible leap forward. I have so many features that I can't even count them all. I'm a million times stronger than before, no, countless times stronger! I've jumped from Bronze to King rank, great!"

After saying that, the little fat boy turned his head and coolly adjusted his "hairstyle".

"..."

Looking at its expression that said, "I'm the coolest, come and praise me," Huan Ling was delighted. "If the little fat boy really had a tail, he would probably be circling around himself now, leaving a shadow."

Yun Huanling raised her eyebrows slightly and asked casually, "Then tell me, is the owner of the advanced system a man or a woman?"

At the mention of the advanced system, the little chubby system seemed to open up, winking at Yun Huanling and saying, "That was so scary! Even though I temporarily transformed into an old man, I was trembling with fear when dealing with those two people, afraid that I would be killed instantly by the advanced system if I wasn't careful. Fortunately, the advanced system didn't pay any attention to me, a nobody, otherwise I would have turned to ashes by now."
[Oh right, the advanced system is now in the possession of a 'White Lotus' guy!]

The little fat system suddenly changed the subject and spoke mysteriously.

[That 'white lotus', seemingly innocent on the surface, is actually scheming like the sea. When paired with the advanced system, they become a 'gang of villains'.]
Yun Huanling: “…” The little fat boy can even use the word ‘in cahoots with each other’, it seems that his vocabulary is quite rich!

However, she immediately looked puzzled. "What? White Lotus? Are you sure you haven't read too many novels? You're not talking about the heroine in some melodramatic novel? Do you mistake the real world for those melodramatic novel scenes?"

The fat kid had a "you're out" look on his face: "I've learned a new word in novels: 'white lotus,' which refers to the heroine who's always sad and weeps like crazy."
-

-

In a silence that could freeze the air for three seconds, Yun Huanling stared at the chubby kid for three Earth blinks, her eyebrows raised slightly. "Oh? You're judging a beauty by her appearance, and you're overthinking it, thinking she's the 'white lotus' spokesperson for those melodramatic plots in your novels?"

[No! I'm not just saying this casually. I'm a seasoned expert who's read countless novels and online articles, and I have a keen eye for judging people and situations! Although I don't know her exact name, trust my sharp eyes after reading thousands of novels. She's a genuine "white lotus," no doubt about it! Maybe she's even the heroine of this world.]
After saying this, the little fat boy had a proud expression of "Those who believe in me will have eternal life", as if he was a flower appraiser who could see through the true nature of all Mary Sues in the world at a glance.

The little man in her heart had already started tap dancing, and Yun Huanling subconsciously said, "Little Fatty, stop treating novels like code."

The little fat boy started rambling again:
[The Spacetime Administration selects hosts equally to open blind boxes. The standards for binding hosts vary, and the tasks each system receives are also unique. I got the task list, and it's as long as a math textbook. It makes you want to find your mother.]
As for those veteran system veterans, each one was as busy as a superhero saving the world, either traveling through time or preparing to do so. When I greeted them, the response I got was either full-on 'Invisibility Cloak'—pretending I wasn't there—or 'Amnesiac'—bewildered questions: Who are you? Do we know each other?

[Maybe it's because I've been in the Space-Time Administration so recently and have so little experience. It's like I just transferred to Hogwarts and haven't found my dorm number yet. I haven't even been added to the system's 'class WeChat group' yet.]
After listening to this, Huan Ling was thinking intensely about an interstellar war in her mind.

After a long while, she slowly turned her head, with a half-smile on her face, and asked, "So, your mission, little chubby boy, is to deliver 'spoiler information about the future' to me."

The chubby kid nodded vigorously, like the most attentive kid in kindergarten, and said, "That's right! I'm the 'Future Secrets Expert,' and you're the 'Lucky Star' I carefully selected from the vast sea of ​​stars! It's really not easy!"

"..."

Yun Huanling slowly turned her head with a posture that seemed to freeze time at that moment.

The light from the living room shone on her breathtakingly beautiful face.

However, at this moment, the expression on this face was a complex emotion called "confusion" and "shock", intertwined in her eyes, as if she had just heard the most incredible thing in the world.

"How on earth do you understand the word 'lucky'?!"

She looked at the little fat boy and fell into deep thought. His luck was really good. He was bound to a stupid system. What bad luck!
She sat leisurely under the shade of a big tree, enjoying this rare cool time.
