The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

"Ha, men."

Too lazy to look at Ning Feng's ugly face any longer, Jiang Wan pulled the blanket over herself, hiding her face inside.

She buried herself under the covers and whispered:

I love you.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Wan laughed at herself.

You've done everything, why are you still hiding now?

Without hesitation, she peeked out from under the covers and smiled at Ning Feng:

I love you.

After saying that, she felt the strength she had finally managed to recover was completely exhausted again, and she felt sleepy, so she lay back down in bed.

"I know."

Ning Feng activated the special magic that remained in her body, allowing Jiang Wan to quickly recover her strength.

Ning Feng smiled as he watched Jiang Wan fall asleep peacefully after saying those words.

Turning to look at the corner trash can in the room, where Jiang Wan's blood-stained gauze had once been hidden.

Because he was worried about him, he rushed back alone despite his own serious injuries...

他 说:

"I've always known that."

"I love you too."

……

……

The next two weeks were unexpectedly peaceful.

At least for Ning Feng, nothing particularly unexpected happened.

After making the decision, Jiang Wan and Xilin quickly resolved the awkward situation.

The two were already friends, and in this situation, their relationship has become even closer in some ways.

Sometimes, they would even exclude Ning Feng and secretly gather together to hold a girls' gathering and whisper secrets.

The rapid development of the relationship between the two women finally put Ning Feng's mind at ease.

After that, Ning Feng's life became unusually regular.

In the morning, I went to watch Margaret and Yun Shuchang practice, but I never participated in it. I neither commented nor joined in myself; I just watched.

At noon, I went to chat with the members of my nominal team and gave each other some pointers.

In the afternoon, I spent a leisurely time with Jiang Wan and Xilin.

Or Shirin might tell them about knowledge not recorded in the literature, or they might simply make some snacks together and spend a peaceful afternoon.

In the evening, they would choose to stay at either their hometown or Xilin's laboratory.

The difference is that one is working with Jiang Wan to improve their familiarity with each other, while the other is trying to increase their compatibility with Xilin.

Ning Feng sensed that the time was almost ripe and that Xilin was basically ready.

All that's missing is a suitable opportunity.

As for those things outside of his peaceful life, Ning Feng tried his best to ignore them.

After much deliberation and discussion with Xilin and the others, Ning Feng decided to decline Sophie's invitation.

Ning Feng did not intend to use his identity as a member of the Watchers to get too involved with the Silver Council.

With the legendary protection of Ningfeng, the Silver Council could offer him very limited benefits.

In general, it's possible, but there's no real need for it.

Since that's the case, then there's no need to waste effort on something that won't be rewarding.

Sophie's reaction was also quite interesting; it was very different from when she left her number.

Although she symbolically tried to persuade him to stay twice, she ultimately accepted Ning Feng's rejection after expressing her regret.

Then they easily cut off all contact between them.

Ning Feng felt like...

Is pulling the hanging heartless?

Why do I feel like I'm being used as a backup option?

Am I just imagining things?

Probably not.

It's like the kind of tactic often used by playboys and playgirls.

Cast nets over a large area, catch fish in a small area, and finally select the best ones to take away.

As for the remaining ones that were not selected...

Congratulations, you've been released!

Ning Feng felt that Sophie was the kind of scumbag woman who had already found a better partner and kicked everyone else aside.

I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, but something definitely feels off.

As for the invitation to "Star Chaser," Shirin herself wasn't very interested in the competition.

It's always the same thing, nothing worth paying attention to.

I really don't understand!

It would be better to spend that time on something else.

For example, deepening her relationship with Ning Feng, admiring Ning Feng's appearance, whispering secrets with Jiang Wan, and Ning Feng...

Aren't these delicious?

It's set!

I'm not going.

The decision was made so hastily, and the invitation was dragged on in a haphazard manner until the energy on it was exhausted, and Shirin still did not respond.

Jasmine's family never urged them, seemingly having long anticipated that certain legends would make such a choice.

The invitation sent to the swordsman was different; it seemed that the swordsman had anticipated this treatment and remained unchanged for half a month.

There's nothing else worth worrying about; this section seems to be easily passed.

in case……

If Ning Feng didn't receive that notification that day.

Operator Ning Feng:

This year's mandatory single-player mission—

Participate in the Star Chaser competition and survive.

Chapter 177 Forced Mission (Please recommend and support!)

If you asked a Watcher to choose the mechanic they hate most in the Watchers, over 95% of the operators would unanimously give the same answer—

[Mandatory Task]

This is a mechanism that is both loved and hated by all Watchers, causing them the most headaches and confusion.

Produced with love by the Eye of Insight, one of the three wonders of the Watchers, this is a truly honest and reliable product.

The timing of the order is uncertain, the triggering conditions are unknown, and the personnel requirements are also unknown.

As the name suggests, this was a "mandatory" task that could not be refused.

There is no room for refusal, no room for escape, and no room for resistance.

But if that's all there is to it, it doesn't seem like an unacceptable thing for the Watchers operators who are busy completing various tasks every day.

Anyway, the bigwigs above them usually set the tasks, and all they have to do is carry them out.

For those who have already removed the words "refuse" and "escape" from the dictionary, it seems to make no difference.

The tasks are the same as usual, nothing different.

As tools who are used to being persecuted, what kind of resistance can you expect them to put up?

No, humans are incredibly adaptable.

So why do these mandatory tasks still cause so much suffering for the Watchers, who are used to being submissive and just doing whatever they want?

The problem isn't actually with the word "coercion," nor is accepting the task itself the issue; the key lies in the tasks themselves.

The task requirements are unreasonable, the tasks are vastly different, and the conditions for achieving them are confusing...

This is not an excuse; the differences between the tasks are surprisingly large.

For some people, the requirement is very simple; it may just be to do a small thing.

For example, delivering an item, staying in a certain place for a period of time, or even delivering a message to someone.

Until the mission is over, nothing particularly noteworthy may happen.

Everything was peaceful and quiet, nothing happened.

But for some people, the task requirements seem like absurd.

This is not only abnormally difficult in terms of task difficulty, but also extremely abnormal in terms of requirements.

One of the most famous and widely circulated cases in recent years comes from a poor civilian employee.

His task that year was to give their branch manager a good beating on the backside.
