"All mission targets have been completed."
"As the player has used special thods to clear the ga in advance, this evaluation will integrate the rewards for subsequent chapters with those for clearing all chapters for a comprehensive evaluation."
"Completion of basic mission objectives—60 points;"
"Family Annihilator Treasure Seeker: You have basically scavenged all rewards—10 points;"
"Pathologically rciless Black King: You often sanction enemies in the na of 'Despair'—10 points;"
"Accused of Substitute Gaming: You're off the hook this ti—evaluation score locked at 59 points (do not repeat);"
"Total score is 80 points, rated as extraordinary."
"Mission score this ti: 80 points (Extraordinary), Highest mission score: 80 points (Extraordinary)."
"Because the player has achieved an extraordinary evaluation, eting the hidden requirents, information about hidden side quests in the ga will be awarded."
"Side Quest ①: The Strong Don't Touch the Ground. You have achieved the 'Technique-Oriented Player' accomplishnt multiple tis (in over 50% of the played chapters, the character has not sustained more than minor injuries)."
"Side Quest ②: My Fate is in My Own Hands, Not in the Sky. You have achieved the 'Strongest King' accomplishnt multiple tis (in over 50% of the played chapters, the character triggered all 'Flash Steps')."
"Naiser official patch notification: In the future, if a player again achieves 'Accused of Substitute Gaming' or similar achievents, their final evaluation score will be locked at 59 points, even if they successfully clear the level. Furthermore, rit Points rewards, exclusive rewards, Treasure Box rewards, and other unlisted ga profits will be cancelled. (The final right of interpretation belongs to Naiser official.)"
Ren Suo was initially surprised, but he quickly let out a sigh of relief.
He hadn't expected that using a clone to substitute for him would fix the final evaluation at 59 points.
Having played for so long, it was Ren Suo's first ti seeing a penalty achievent, and it was a severe warning for deduction. A score locked at 59, nullification of all gains, was essentially as if Ren Suo had played for nothing.
It seems the Mini-World Ga Console was very dissatisfied with his behavior of disrupting the other BOSSs' ga experiences with substitute play.
But thinking about it, it made sense. Ren Suo allowed the clone to substitute for him at no cost; if he encountered particularly difficult levels that required micro-operation in the future, Ren Suo might be tempted to let the clone substitute again.
After all, opportunities like this live-streaming ga, where the clone finished the entire chapter by itself, were rare. Ren Suo estimated he played 99% of the ga and let the clone play 1%. Surely the console wouldn't give all the rewards to the clone, right?
But the ga console had anticipated this. Indeed, it couldn't sanction him in either the ga or reality, but as long as Ren Suo dared to let the clone substitute, it would directly strip Ren Suo of all gains.
Whether you let the clone hover without penetrating or let it take up the sword and fight hard, the mont you let the clone touch the controller, you might as well get out and face the cold wind!
Fortunately, the Mini-World Ga Console also knew the principle of 'punishnt without instruction is tyranny'; it proceeded with the normal mission evaluation and settlent this ti, only warning Ren Suo not to do it again.
Although it couldn't repair the loophole of the clone substitute, it made it clear to Ren Suo during the mission settlent that if Ren Suo dared to skate on the edge of death, it would show him who really was the boss.
After this warning, of course, Ren Suo wouldn't let the clone substitute anymore.
After all, the situations that required clone substitution were rare—it was just that 'Hand of Fate' was exceptionally quirky this ti, demanding a live-stream ga. Otherwise, Ren Suo could have practiced for a few days and then cleared it with 'Flash Step.'
Ren Suo was a cultivator, after all. Even though he couldn't rely on a chanical mind for instant operation like the clone, with enough practice, he could handle most action gas—except for ultra-hard bullet hell gas with a screen full of projectiles.
However, an idea suddenly crossed Ren Suo's mind: The Mini-World Ga Console hasn't completely closed this loophole. It 'allows' clone substitution, as long as I can bear the consequence of 'no gains.' After all, the gas of the Mini-World Ga Console do affect reality. Perhaps, in the future, there might be so gas that, despite having no rewards, I would still need the clone's help to complete.
Ren Suo only pondered it briefly before abandoning the thought. He would rather call for help with 'Rippling Spring Sounds' than let the clone substitute—the latter would be a total loss.
Ren Suo continued reading.
"You have completed the special side quest 'Surpass Fate'."
"Surpass Fate: You have proved your strength to an unknown existence, demonstrating that even without its help, you can eliminate the Source of Disaster and save the world."
An unknown existence? Was it the Cloaked Girl with Blue Hair responsible for dealing the cards?
Ren Suo had always been puzzled by the "Surpass Fate" task because, according to the normal ga process, it would only take him a few days to eliminate the Source of Disaster.
What was the significance of eliminating the Source of Disaster a few days earlier?
Moreover, as revealed by the cards from the Cloaked Girl with Blue Hair, it should still take a while for the Source of Disaster to affect the world, so whether it was a few days earlier or later seed inconsequential.
Now, reading the task description, Ren Suo wondered, Is the actual aning of "Surpass Fate"... to show off? To boast about my strength to an unknown existence? Even without your arrangent, I can save the world? Is this like a child declaring independence to their mother? Or like a young man showing off his wealth, charm, and power to a girl?
Although Ren Suo didn't quite understand, he had seen many weird and quirky ga achievents, such as using a ga modifier to kill the boss in a must-lose battle in the initial ga plot, which could trigger a hidden ending "I Am Invincible" and abruptly end the ga...
"'Surpass Fate' task completion: 'Arrogant Mouth of Disaster' and 'Lazy Source of Disaster' have been prematurely killed."
"Player receives hidden rewards: 'Arrogant Humility's Mouth' and 'Lazy Diligence's Body'."
"Task evaluation upload is complete. You have received 150 rit Points. Please use them wisely."
"You have obtained a Five-Star Treasure Chest *1. You may open it in the Content Preservation Vault."
"You have received the exclusive ga reward 'Ability Fusion Inscription Rune'."
"According to the ga's star-level, you receive the item 'Rippling Spring Sounds'."
"Player's existing 'Rippling Spring Sounds' detected. 'Rippling Spring Sounds' fusion is complete."
Ren Suo calculated. Including today's chapter, the total number of chapters settled in the task evaluation was five. The total number of rit Points was 250, and the task evaluation was 80 points (the corresponding reward for rit Points was 60%). Now he received 150 points, which was the correct amount.
He had been afraid that by completing the ga early, the ga console might deduct rit Points for later chapters, but it seed that the console wasn't stingy with these points.
However, the most important thing now was to see if the hidden rewards were worth Ren Suo spending two holiday promotions to summon the Truth Seeker and Devouring the Spirit of the World for an early ga clearance.
"'Arrogant Humility's Mouth'"
"Quality Rank: Five-Star Item. Prerequisite: Must have at least an organ capable of speech."
"Effect: After equipping, the player's speech will beco incredibly humble. This also significantly boosts attributes such as Agility, Force, Physical Strength, spiritual power, Insight, and Spiritual Energy. The enhancent effect is related to the number of Discerners (those who see through the player's true nature of arrogance); the more Discerners there are, the stronger the effect."
"Remark: I'm really weak, please don't hit my fist with your chest... Ah! My foot hurts so much because it was stepped on by your face!"
Ren Suo glanced at it and imdiately knew that this item was very powerful, but only suitable for ga characters—he himself didn't fight, so attribute enhancent was aningless to him.
Moreover, this item was difficult to use; the player had to keep saying "I am weak, I am weak," and then display great strength to fully unleash the item's effect.
I can manage the forr, but the latter... would be a bit difficult.
However, the other hidden reward swept away all of Ren Suo's grievances against the Mini-World Ga Console and filled his heart with endless joy.
The two holiday promotions were absolutely worth the spend!
"'Lazy Diligence's Body'"
"Quality Rank: Five-Star Item. Prerequisite: Must have at least a body."
"Effect: After equipping, when the player is daydreaming, sleeping, or their consciousness isn't controlling the body, the body will automatically execute actions set by the player. However, the body cannot perform creative actions, and the efficiency of most actions will decrease to varying degrees. The more complex the action, the lower its efficiency."
"Remark: After raising you for so many years, it's ti for the body to act on its own. Don't always make think."
Ren Suo had been anticipating idle cultivation for so long, and finally, it was here!
Without any side effects, the decrease in efficiency was a minor issue, but even that was satisfying enough for Ren Suo—after all, even a mosquito was at.
Living, it's wonderful.
In this regard, Ren Suo was quite easy to satisfy—as long as he could do fewer troubleso things, his passion for life would reignite.
For example, he had been pondering whether he could have Dong Chengling summon him directly at altis, so that he wouldn't have to change clothes, put on shoes, or even leave his door.
But Ren Suo quickly ca up with an even better idea—moving in.
However, both ideas were very impractical and would greatly trouble Dong Chengling, so in the end, Ren Suo dismissed the thoughts.
Just as Ren Suo was tallying the rewards from "Hand of Fate," Dong Chengling suddenly called, asking him to co downstairs to pick up a delivery.
The teacher's dormitory could not be entered without an access card, so teachers and staff had to go downstairs to receive their packages.
Originally, Dong Chengling had set the delivery ti for 7:00 to 8:00 in the morning, but it seed that due to watching the live stream, the courier at the delivery station also went on strike in the morning, delaying all deliveries...
Dong Chengling said the package was quite heavy and Little Jiu might not be able to handle it, so she asked Ren Suo for help.
Ren Suo didn't have much to do at the mont, so naturally, he didn't refuse and went downstairs to sign for Dong Chengling's delivery.
The delivery box was quite heavy. It looked like local produce mailed by Dong Chengling's parents from their hotown. Ren Suo couldn't help exclaiming to himself, Dong Chengling's parents are really good to her...
Huh?
After delivering the package to Dong Chengling's place, Ren Suo was pulled by Little Jiu and not allowed to leave. So he sat down, took out his phone, and sent a ssage to his sister: "Little sis, have Mom and Dad been in touch with you lately?"
Ren Xingi seed to be on her phone as well and quickly replied: "Yeah, Mom just talked to on the phone for half an hour yesterday. She asked why I didn't co ho for National Day, whether I had enough money to spend, and if not, to ask you for so."
Ren Suo: "Wishing you great luck and prosperity!"
Ren Xingi: "...I love you the most!"
Ren Suo looked at the package sent by Dong Chengling's parents and felt sowhat lancholic for a mont.
At this ti, he noticed a notification pop up in Monts. I haven't posted in Monts these past few days, where did this reply or like co from? Ren Suo opened Monts and saw that Qiao Muyi had tagged him in a post—
"Living alone in a foreign land, who knows the bitterness in my heart? The workload that increases day by day, the future that's uncertain, life seems to be ceaselessly sprinkling cumin and chili powder on , a little lamb.
"But the pressure hasn't crushed .
"Why? Because I know, the only one I can rely on is myself. If I can't break through and achieve sothing, build my own career, then, then——

"I'll just have to go back ho to inherit a few properties in the city center and beco a lazy, rent-collecting landlady.
"Ugh, forget it, my dad and mom bought another house. I need to take leave to go ho and handle the paperwork."
Ren Suo directly smashed his head onto the table, startling Little Jiu, who quickly hugged Ren Suo's hand and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?"
"Little Jiu!" Ren Suo hugged Little Jiu, rubbing her little head with his chin. "You're the best!"
"Yep, Little Jiu is the best!" Little Jiu also hugged Ren Suo, saying with a giggle, "Little Jiu will always be with big brother!"
"Yep!"
"Big brother, will you help Little Jiu with howork, okay?"
"No!"
Just as Ren Suo was about to head ho, Little Jiu firmly pulled on him. "Big brother, don't go! Little Jiu feels very lonely doing howork alone!"
"I'll distract you if I'm here."
"No, you won't! In fact, Little Jiu will be distracted thinking about big brother playing on his phone if you go back ho!" Little Jiu pouted and said to Ren Suo, "Little Jiu wants big brother to stay here and watch Little Jiu do howork! If big brother goes back, then maybe Little Jiu won't be able to finish the tasks Sister Ling assigned!"
Wow, this little Nine-Tailed Fox is becoming more and more human-like! She even knows how to use the 'let's die together' tactic and find excuses to slack off. Ren Suo couldn't help but sigh. Life is truly treacherous; even Little Jiu is picking up bad habits.
"Fine, then I'll stay here and watch you do your howork." Ren Suo took a firm stand, crossing his arms and sitting on the couch, really not leaving.
Little Jiu was slightly surprised. She had just wanted to find an excuse to slack off a bit, and she thought she understood big brother well enough. She hadn't expected that the scenario she imagined, where he would say, 'Then let do your howork,' wouldn't happen.
"Big brother, don't play on your phone, okay? That'll distract Little Jiu too," Little Jiu's eyes flickered as she spoke. "Why don't you help write it, and then we can finish quickly and play gas together!"
"I'm not playing with my phone." Ren Suo sat with his arms crossed, closing his eyes as if he really intended to do nothing at all.
Contrary to her wishes, Little Jiu had no choice but to do her howork obediently, but she still felt good about her big brother being nearby.
Because of the bond, whenever Ren Suo was with any bonding partner, they would feel a sense of reassurance, as if I'm not alone.
Not to ntion, Ren Suo possessed the 'Phantom Illusionary Fragrance' skill, which ca from the sa origin as her. To her, Ren Suo was almost like a sibling, so being with him naturally made Little Jiu feel comfortable.
However, Little Jiu also felt a subtle satisfaction—a sense of fairness was t, and her discontent smoothed over—the joy of thinking, If I'm working, why are you playing?
When children are studying, seeing their parents watch TV, play with their phones, or play mahjong often makes them sowhat annoyed.
Especially since Dong Chengling was a pri example of extre temperance. When Little Jiu was studying, Dong Chengling would definitely be working or cultivating. Little Jiu naturally developed the idea: If I'm working, you have to work too; otherwise, it's not fair.
Therefore, seeing Ren Suo lead by example, Little Jiu naturally had no complaints at all.
A gentle breeze blew through the trees by the roadside, causing the leaves to rustle. Dazzling sunlight spread across the earth, and ti hurriedly passed amidst the friction between pen and paper.
The door lock clicked, and Dong Chengling walked in. She wasn't surprised to find Ren Suo here.
She put the ingredients in the kitchen and then went to check on Little Jiu's howork.
After checking the howork, Dong Chengling noticed Ren Suo was motionless, as if he had fallen asleep. Since there was still so ti until dinner, Dong Chengling went over and said, "Suo, do you want to go to the bedroom and sleep for a while...?"
Seeing Ren Suo not responding to her question at all, Dong Chengling blinked her eyes and suddenly crouched down. She extended her finger to check Ren Suo's breathing and found him breathing in a familiar rhythm.
"Mysterious Lord's Secret To Chapter Two..."
Although the progress was slow, it was indeed the Mysterious Lord's Secret To Chapter Two!
Dong Chengling knew what it ant to drive this cultivation technique with a Second Stage Cultivation; even if it was slow, it was normal.
When she first got hold of this technique, she also had to calm her mind and spend hours to completely master it. Moreover, she felt very tired while cultivating.
Yet Ren Suo is now seizing any mont of spare ti to cultivate this technique, even in the midst of busyness! And his complexion is very calm, looking as adorable as if he were asleep. This shows how tenacious his mind is; he isn't affected by the exhaustion from cultivating at all!
Dong Chengling silently took out her phone, adjusted the angle, and took a photo of Ren Suo.
She opened the chat window with Qiao Muyi, clicked to send an image, and selected Ren Suo's photo.
She wanted to tell Qiao Muyi that Ren Suo had truly beco a more diligent person than her!
However, looking at the adorable and hardworking face in the photo, she hesitated for a mont and ultimately didn't press 'send.'
At that mont, Ren Suo's phone lit up, apparently receiving a text ssage from the carrier. Dong Chengling glanced down and saw the screensaver on Ren Suo's phone.
So she made up her mind, exited WeChat, opened 'Settings,' and changed her screensaver. Then she contentedly went to cook.
