I am weak and friendly

Chapter 48 Ping Ge's "Backstabbing Technique" and "Outdated Architectural Design"

In the conference room, Tang Yiping sat in his wheelchair, somewhat bewildered.

How did the stabbing technique succeed?

Bao Ge, standing before him, had already broken down.

He covered his face: "She said it was an impulsive act more than ten years ago because I was so busy, working overtime every day and never going home, and she was lonely... so I forgave her. I don't want to lose my daughter! She's my daughter, the daughter I've loved for ten years! What can I do? But recently my job has been unstable, and she's started contacting him. I've seen that person taking my daughter shopping and buying her things. I... what should I do, Ping-ge? Waaaaaah..."

Seeing Bao Ge suddenly bury his face in his lap and start crying, what could Tang Yiping do? He could only pat Bao Ge's shoulder: "I understand, I understand! Don't cry, don't cry, I'm here with you..."

I don't know anything about this!
The adult world is so complicated! Wait, I'm an adult now? How come I'm still so childish?
Tang Yiping felt like he had become a fake, shouting that the world was so dark, that he had seen through their tricks, and that he would never fall for them and would not let them succeed, all while acting like a child.

When everyone held their "Let's all become more complicated" advancement ceremony, did they forget to include me?
He glanced at his still-activated "Friendly Beacon" and silently calculated the time.

Once the "Friendly Beacon" is turned off, Brother Bao will probably want to kill me to silence me again.

No, we have to run away right now!

Help!
Tang Yiping just wanted to leave the meeting room and escape the company as soon as possible. He didn't plan to come back today, or even for the next week.

But Bao Ge was still wailing on his knees: "Ping Ge, I have clearly forgiven her. I have taken care of her all these years and loved my daughter. Why did she treat me like this? Don't you think they are being very unreasonable?"

Although Tang Yiping felt that this matter was too dramatic and complicated, he was afraid that Brother Bao really had no one to confide in and had been keeping it bottled up inside for who knows how long.

Tang Yiping remembered reading a quote: "Sometimes, a grown man's breakdown happens in an instant."

Unfortunately, he caught up with it at that moment.

Moreover, the "Friendly Glow" has become the "Friendly Beacon," which is obviously stronger. It has replaced the effects of alcohol or other similar anesthetics, lowering Bao Ge's guard and making him unable to help but start confiding. Once he starts confiding, it is difficult to stop.

Tang Yiping felt that he should just act as a human confessional, only providing emotional support.

What else can I do? With my own shallow life, I have no right to tell others what to do.

So he said, "Yes, yes..."

"What if she takes my daughter away too? I really love my daughter!"

"Yeah yeah……"

At this moment, Tang Yiping had already lost focus, because the system popped up another notification:
—You have completed the initial main quest and learned three survival skills (3/3). The full functionality of the [Survival Guide for the Weak] is now available.

—You have mastered the job change path [Carrion Eater] and learned the relevant skills. You can now proceed with the job change trial.

—Job Change Trial: Utilize your three skills to perform three successful instances of carrion consumption in a logical, smooth, and perfect manner to change your job to [Carrion Eater]. (0/3)

Ah, it's time to start the job change trial!

I really want to change jobs!
Performing three rounds of carrion-eating in a reasonable, smooth, and perfect manner seems to require a high level of skill and will be a challenge. I need to think about it carefully.

What exactly constitutes reasonable, smooth, and perfect?

Shouldn't we ask Lola for advice? Wait, that stupid Lola only knows how to snatch a pile of rotten food like a vicious dog, pounce on the rotten food on the ground, and then turn around and tell herself, "See, this is rational, smooth, and perfect scavenging!"

Or should I ask Lux for advice?
Lux might say, "A great tree doesn't need challenges, it just needs to wait patiently for its opportunity..."

Tang Yiping's thoughts had completely left the conference room and were drifting to farther places.

"Ping-ge, do you think I'm a coward, useless, and not a real man?"

“Yes, yes…” Tang Yiping replied.

"Ping-ge, do you think I deserved it? Did I bring this on myself? Should I not have forgiven her back then?" "Yeah, yeah..."

"Ping-ge, do you think I should divorce her and make her leave with nothing?"

"Yeah yeah……"

Tang Yiping gave a perfunctory reply while thinking to himself.

Alas, I am indeed a man who is too kind. With great power comes great responsibility, and a kind man like me must bear the price of kindness…

Then Tang Yiping casually remarked, "A man like you can't even afford lawyer fees for a divorce."

"Waaaaah, Ping-ge, you're right. I'm such an idiot. I shouldn't have been so pathetic all these years... Ping-ge, you're absolutely right. Why didn't you scold me awake sooner? If only you had scolded me awake sooner, waaaaah..."

Tang Yiping blinked.

Wait, what did I just say?
Why are you crying again?
Didn't you finally stop crying?

—You precisely and continuously used the "backstabbing technique" on Homo sapiens Chen Baobin, successfully exposing the "collapsed family beliefs," "outdated structural design," and "disintegrated love and forbearance" that Chen Baobin abandoned...

Tang Yiping blinked. What? Who precisely and continuously used the "stabbing technique" on the Homo sapiens Chen Baobin?

Is it me?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible.

I'm now Bao Ge's confidant, Ping Ge.

But... ouch...

I want it so much!

Tang Yiping stared at Bao Ge as if he were looking at an opened treasure chest.

Tang Yiping had no interest in things like family values, love, or forbearance.

But I really want this outdated architecture design!

Tang Yiping has already obtained Bao Ge's [outdated programming technology]. Although this programming technology has many problems, causing Tang Yiping to write all sorts of bugs, it is still much better than Tang Yiping's previous level.

Moreover, when Tang Yiping looked closely, he discovered that most of his bugs were in the connection between different parts, such as the front-end and integration code. He could complete a single module without too much difficulty, but once it involved multiple modules, the overall thinking, and the overall structure, Tang Yiping was a bit lost.

"Sure enough, a man has to be more assertive. I won't go on like this anymore! I'm going to take back what I've lost with my own hands!" Bao Ge suddenly became strong. "Ping Ge, thank you for giving me such good advice."

Ah, I didn't give you any advice, you just figured it out on your own...

Well, since I've done so much for you, Brother Bao, who's a treasure trove of goodness, how about giving me some of the ability you can discard? Is that alright?

Linghai Technology is a treasure trove of a company. My colleagues have a lot of corrupting influences, such as outdated knowledge frameworks and cooled programming passion, but so far, only Brother Bao has directly lost his programming skills.

Brother Bao is truly a treasure from head to toe!

Thinking this, Tang Yiping reached out and patted Bao Ge on the shoulder.

—[Carrion Consumption] Success! You have obtained the [Outdated Architectural Design] forgotten by Homo sapiens Du Baobin.

—Homo sapiens Du Baobin has become your prey. Current progress of [Carrione] (2/7)

—You have successfully, smoothly, and perfectly completed a carrion-eating trial using your three skills. Job change trial progress (1/3)
