“I won’t cut myself to death again.”
This was the first sentence Gu Weizhou said when he returned to the system space after struggling on the ground for a long time before finally dying.
However, Number 001 in the present moment was more concerned about something else. [Did you really get shot and killed by Pei Ye?]
[No, I didn’t.]
Gu Weizhou showed his little white teeth and said, [Anyway, I’m the victim. Whatever I say, he will believe it.]
[…]
[Host, why did you end up being the only one who died?] He’s still alive and well? Weren’t you supposed to regain your reputation? How did it end up looking like he’s the one seeking retribution against you?
[If I don’t die, should I stay and live happily with him, like a harmonious family.]
Number 001, That makes sense. I can’t argue with that.
After a pause, Gu Weizhou continued, [Instead of physically torturing that masochistic body, why not let him find pleasure in a different way? Besides, no matter how much physical torture there is, it only hurts temporarily. But there is a kind of pain that can’t be seen or touched, and can never be healed, and that’s heartache.]
[Think about it… the person you loved the most died because of you. Every time night falls, every time you dream in the middle of the night when you think of his face, all you remember is the scene before his death, that visual image…] His voice trailed off, his gaze distant.
Recalling the bloody scene not long ago, Number 001 could only say few words. Insane and twisted.
Thinking of the man’s desperate expression not long ago, Number 001 said, […I guess Pei Ye is probably starting to wish for death right now.] Not only psychologically, but also physically in the future.
[I used to feel like life wasn’t worth living.] A soft voice said, [Because I didn’t have love.]
[…] Don’t mention your vulgar and cheap love to me again in the future.
[Host, would you like to take a rest or directly go to the next world?]
Gu Weizhou, who had had enough fun, clenched his fists and said, [Let’s go directly to the next world.]
[Alright.]

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Jinjiang Ring Universe.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion suddenly rang out, causing a massive tremor that made the towering Science and Technology Building tremble. Qing Feng, who was doing her nails in the office at that moment, couldn’t help but shudder. Her carefully crafted nails were ruined as her hand jerked, causing the brush to drag across them.
Seeing nearly half an hour of meticulous work go to waste, Qing Feng’s face almost contorted in anger.
Which bastard blew up a planet in the office!!!
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Just then, a cautious knock came on the office door from outside. “Director Qing Feng…”

“Speak up if you have something to say, fart if you have to.”

“Wha… What?”
The staff outside the door thought they had misheard. They knew very well that the person who destroyed the A-class office could do it effortlessly, and they had no doubt that the S-class office wouldn’t last more than three rounds in his hands.
And with such destruction, their maintenance costs would definitely exceed the budget this year!
“Change it to an S-class office. Do as I say, and I’ll take full responsibility if anything happens.”
“Alright.”
As the person left, Qing Feng opened the holographic device on her wrist. The smile on her face was even gentler than when she visited her sister.
The holographic device connected, and a familiar face appeared on the virtual screen.
“… I wanted to tell you that he split our SS-class office in half today. You know, our SS-class office is…” Blah blah blah blah blah.
Ten minutes later…
“… Name your price…”
Upon hearing this, Qing Feng’s smile became even more radiant. “Not much, just rebuild an SS-class office. I have always admired the Qianchong Umbrella, which is famous throughout the Three Thousand Realms. Just wondering if…” Her voice trailed off.
The person on the other end, well aware that he was being played, swallowed his frustration. “… I’ll have someone deliver it later.”
Qing Feng closed the holographic device and picked up her precision carving brush again. The anger on her face had faded, replaced by excessive anticipation.
…Go ahead, destroy it. I hope you destroy several SSS-class offices while you’re at it.
…
In the hot summer, the sound of cicadas and birds disturbed the tranquility from the treetops. Xiao Shengyu, who had finished his training early that day, twirled the car keys in his hand as he walked briskly toward the parking lot.
Today was supposed to be his rare day off in the month, but due to certain circumstances, all the team members had to come to the training ground for a session. However, Xiao Shengyu was still Xiao Shengyu after all, and after scoring a perfect 100, he openly left early.
As usual, he went to pick up his newly washed car, but unexpectedly…
“Damn it, Lu Zhiyu, why didn’t you tell me there was no fuel in the car when you brought it out?” Looking at the empty fuel indicator on the dashboard, Xiao Shengyu slapped the steering wheel in anger.
“Ah, didn’t I forget because I was almost late? Don’t be angry, Brother Xiao, don’t be angry.” Lu Zhiyu, who was still at the training ground, spoke in a low voice, smiling apologetically, while discreetly keeping an eye on the coach’s gaze from a distance, afraid of being caught making a secret phone call.
Faced with the cheerful voice on the other end of the phone, Xiao Shengyu, who was annoyed inside the car, unbuttoned his shirt collar with one hand.
This morning, due to a last-minute notice from the team, both roommates were late. Seeing that he wouldn’t have enough time to pick up his car after training, Lu Zhiyu, who shared the same roof with him, volunteered to go to the car dealership and pick it up for him.
Xiao Shengyu was initially not interested in his offer because he didn’t like to interact with his roommate more than necessary. However, due to the urgency of the situation and the fact that he couldn’t spare any more time, he simply threw the keys to the other person, not expecting him to create the current situation.
Watching the seconds tick on his wristwatch, Xiao Shengyu inside the car felt both anxious and annoyed. He had planned to use the time he squeezed out to satisfy his physiological needs, but now Lu Zhiyu’s actions had ruined everything, and the already-annoyed Xiao Shengyu burst out in anger.
“Are you blind? Can’t you see? Did you bring this empty shell here just to carry it back tonight? Or do you think I’ll take advantage of you and greedily claim the fuel money that is not even worth a glass of wine?”
The words spoken by the other person struck a sensitive nerve in Lu Zhiyu, who was still smiling and trying to appease the situation. His facial expression froze for a moment.
His inherently dark personality almost caused him to blurt out certain words, but in the instant, he opened his mouth, he forcefully suppressed them.
Xiao Shengyu was not only a second-generation wealthy individual but also a core player in the team. Lu Zhiyu, as an ordinary backup team member without any background, couldn’t afford to offend him.
Suppressing the jealousy and anger that lay deep within him, Lu Zhiyu quickly put on his usual carefree smile and said, “Brother Xiao, you really know how to joke. Even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn’t dare think like that. It’s just adding some fuel, I really didn’t pay attention. Brother Xiao, how about this? Why don’t you take a taxi home first, and I guarantee I’ll fill up the tank for you tonight.”
As he said this, Lu Zhiyu seemed to have thought of something, and a very obscene expression suddenly appeared on his face as he said, “I’ll give you a big surprise as an apology when you go back tonight.”
“Hmph, a surprise.” Xiao Shengyu scoffed with disdain as he hung up the phone, saying, “You better pray that you can make it back tonight.”
Lu Zhiyu heard this muttered remark without missing a word, and the clenched fist that had been at his side suddenly tightened. His facial features, which had been lowered, almost disappeared into the shadows.
However…
As he listened to the muffled sound of a basketball hitting the wooden floor and the occasional whistle blown by the coach, Lu Zhiyu’s hand, which had a deep red mark from squeezing it, slowly relaxed. He lifted his head again, looking like still the carefree Lu Zhiyu.
Yes, it’s because you’re a core player, and I’m just a backup.
The training arena was not located in the city center, and it was very inconvenient to commute without a car. Xiao Shengyu had been trying to call a car on his phone for a while but couldn’t get one.
The sun had yet to set, and even though he stood in the shade of the platform, the scorching heat of the summer sun made his annoyance and impatience, which had initially been at three points, rise to thirty points.
Just as he was about to rush back to the training ground to teach that bastard a lesson, Xiao Shengyu saw a bus swaying and approaching in his slightly distorted field of vision due to the intense sun.
With the arrival of the bus, the hot air accompanied by warm moisture hit his face, causing him to instinctively take a step back while furrowing his brows.
The bus stopped at the station, and Xiao Shengyu, who was standing on the platform, looked at this situation where only one bus had come in the past half a day. He glanced at his phone again, but there was still no driver accepting his request.
Faced with the only option available at the moment, he clenched his teeth and boarded the bus.
As soon as he got on the bus, the driver closed the door and started the bus in a leisurely manner. In front of the coin box, Xiao Shengyu reflexively reached into his pocket, but his hand only touched emptiness. Realizing this, his body stiffened slightly.
My wallet…?!
Recalling that he had casually stuffed it into the locker along with his clothes earlier, and now feeling the emptiness in his pocket, Xiao Shengyu felt that he had encountered a string of incredibly bad luck today, where everything seemed to go wrong.
Seeing Xiao Shengyu standing there without making any movement, the driver frowned and reminded him without much patience, “Please pay the fare.”
It may be summer, and everyone’s temper is flaring up. After the driver’s remark, he couldn’t help but complain, “Even for a one yuan ticket, they want to avoid paying. Young people these days.”
Xiao Shengyu grew up in a wealthy family and was a genuine second-generation rich kid. Coupled with his exceptional athletic talent, he had been elevated to the national team from a young age. He had always been the one mocking others, and he couldn’t tolerate being ridiculed himself.
Already having a difficult day, and now feeling annoyed by the scorching heat, Xiao Shengyu’s face suddenly changed upon hearing the mocking remark.
Just as he was about to disregard the team’s regulations against getting into fights and take action, a somewhat timid voice came from nearby.
“Um… Driver, this gentleman seems to have lost his wallet.”
As the voice fell, Xiao Shengyu’s movement abruptly halted, and he instinctively turned his head to see the appearance of the young man who spoke.
The young man appeared to be barely of age, with neatly trimmed short hair and a pair of shiny black eyes, slightly moist and resembling a small animal venturing out of its den for the first time.
At this moment, he stood somewhat uneasily not far away, with a reddish face and slightly pursed lips, giving him a shy and nervous appearance.
The traffic light happened to turn red, and the driver, seemingly interested, turned his head and said, “How do you know he lost his wallet? Did you steal it?”
As the half-joking remark fell, Xiao Shengyu noticed that the young man’s entire face turned bright red, and he started waving his hands in a stuttering manner, denying, “No, I didn’t steal it. I… I don’t have it.” He was so anxious that tears seemed to be welling up in his eyes, on the verge of crying right then and there.
Seeing that a mere joke almost made the person burst into tears, the driver immediately said, “Hey, hey, I was just kidding. You took it seriously.”
Joking…?
With his timid eyes wide open, the young man looked at the smiling driver and then glanced at Xiao Shengyu, who had been silently observing him. He hesitantly spoke up, as if wanting to prove his innocence.
“When this gentleman reached for his pocket reflexively to pay, it indicated that he wanted to insert coins. However… I saw him freeze and stiffen while reflexively reaching for his wallet, it was evident…”
Glancing at the two people staring at him intently, he bit his lip and continued, “It indicated astonishment. He wanted to insert coins but suddenly froze. I think… this gentleman must have suddenly realized that his wallet was missing from his pocket, which caused him to freeze in astonishment.”
In just a few sentences, with meticulous observation and analysis, the driver shifted his gaze to Xiao Shengyu, who was still standing near the coin box.
And upon hearing the entire analysis from beginning to end, Xiao Shengyu, meaningfully staring at the person not far away, said, “Although it’s not lost, it was left at the training ground, but the analysis is pretty accurate.”
As soon as the person involved said this, the other passengers on the bus, who had also listened to the analysis from start to finish, applauded enthusiastically.
The young man, who had been timid throughout the whole ordeal, faced the sporadic applause and felt nervous and a bit uncertain. He lowered his head, and a blush spread across his delicate and beautiful neck in an instant.
[How about it? Aren’t I a shy and endearing little bunny?]
[…If you don’t suddenly speak like a zombie.]
[He can’t hear anyway.]
[But I can hear it.]
[But you can’t fuck.]
[…] feeling heartbroken from that comment, Number 001.
Okay, confusion solved, Gu Weizhou completely tricked Pei Ye. Good for him!
