"Green River Post Office: You have an unclaimed package 27-100-27. Please collect it as soon as possible."
Keding received the message during class and immediately smiled.
The company is just too good!
Ever since the system helped him apply for various benefits, the company occasionally sent him packages of calcium tablets, vitamins, snacks, and other supplies.
Keding had no habit of online shopping, but after dedicating himself to fast-travel missions, he gradually got used to collecting packages every one to two weeks.
Besides food and supplements, the company also sent him books related to health and wellness, personality analysis, and sadomasochistic psychological analysis, presumably as supplementary materials tailored to his professional needs.
Although these things were somewhat peculiar, he enjoyed reading them all the same.
The system was usually idle, but today it was particularly active.
"Get the package first, then eat! Listen to me!"
"Huh? Okay."
Keding went to the post office early and quickly found the corresponding package.
This time, the gift seemed to be a book, but it felt thin and familiar.
The system chuckled, "Quick~ look~"
After confirming the pickup, Keding opened the outer packaging and saw the familiar small leather cover.
"This isn't—" he stood there in shock: "Isn't this Doctor Jiang's pure English notebook?!"
According to the company's rules, anything from different worlds cannot be brought back to reality, including gifts from clients in other worlds.
In the previous world, when Doctor Jiang gave him the notebook, Keding considered this and returned it after scanning it with the system's function.
Later, even after leaving that world, he would occasionally review the electronic version of the notebook and sometimes miss the cold-faced yet warm-hearted friend.
"After you left, Doctor Jiang burned this notebook."
Keding carefully opened the notebook, touching each line of English text and the anatomical sketches drawn by Jiang Yi, recalling their past interactions once again.
"By burning it, did he send it to me?"
"Of course not," the system boasted slightly: "I made a copy for you. Do you like it or not!"
Keding: "Wow!!"
"Hehehe, seeing you flip through the electronic version every day, I asked my good friends to remake it," the system proudly said: "This is simulated handwriting. Every word is rewritten to mimic the original writer's style, unlike those five-yuan-per-page photocopiers!"
"You're amazing! I love it so much!" Keding was overjoyed, not knowing how to thank her: "I will treasure it forever!"
During the lunch break, work continued seamlessly.
On the day of his sixth birthday, Chen Jiangkai had dark circles under his eyes due to working on PowerPoint presentations and was walking unsteadily.
As they headed to Haidilao, the system suddenly buzzed with an alarm.
"Be careful, he's developing murderous intent."
Keding remained calm: "Has his affection dropped to zero?"
"There's still over three hundred," the system said: "The average reference value for ordinary people is fifty to eighty-five. Anything above eighty means they're in love."
"Scary," Keding said: "It's hard to understand the mindset of a pervert."
The staff at Haidilao greeted them enthusiastically as usual, but their smiles seemed forced.
Do we really need to celebrate another birthday?
What kind of mission is this? Or have these two guys broken some heavenly rule?
"Good afternoon, sir. Is today your birthday again?"
"Yes," Ye Yixi smiled warmly: "I can't wait, let's start!"
As the dishes arrived, four or five servers pushed in a speaker, a small cake, and sunflowers, trying to smile naturally and enthusiastically.
"Happy birthday to you—sending my blessings—"
"On this special day, may you smile brightly—"
Before the song could reach its halfway point, Chen Jiangkai could no longer contain his emotions, covering his face and breaking down into tears.
I don't want to celebrate my birthday! I don't want to write PPTs! I want to leave, I can't take it anymore!!
The cheerful music continued, but the servers instinctively stopped singing, exchanging uneasy glances.
"He hasn't slept all night, preparing the presentation, understandable," Ye Yixi said gently: "Let's start over."
Chen Jiangkai hugged his head and cried, wishing he could kill someone right now.
But there were too many people here; he had already been restrained by the police in the square once, and now he had nothing in hand. He couldn't stab this madman with a hot pot chopstick!
The servers tried to maintain the atmosphere, mechanically finishing the birthday song and quickly leaving the scene.
Having run a hot pot restaurant for so long, they had seen proposals and breakups, but never anything like this...
Back home, Chen Jiangkai hadn't prepared any cake but wished he could go to the kitchen and sharpen a knife.
System: "You need to prepare. His murderous intent has risen from ten to forty."
Keding asked, "Does the top-tier proxy fighting require booking?"
System: "No need! Just tap and go, anytime proxy fighting! Eighty points for a guaranteed win—no loss, no regret!"
Ye Yixi didn’t ask about the cake but instead drew the curtains and adjusted the projector to presentation mode.
"Last night, you worked hard on the slideshow," he said. "My dear, I can't wait to hear what good things you've written."
Chen Jiangkai had secretly prepared some rope, planning to tie up Ye Yixi in various ways.
Even if he loved him, he couldn’t let him manipulate and torment himself like this. All those crazy demands could go to hell!
Just using force with his beloved would get everything sweet, hahahaha!!!
Originally ready to act, Chen Jiangkai hesitated for several seconds upon hearing Ye Yixi’s words.
After all, he had spent the whole night on the slideshow.
He had made it page by page with his own hands! Not presenting it would only make him even more frustrated! Extremely frustrated!
The middle-aged man's expression changed rapidly, but he still chose to fetch the USB drive from the bedroom and opened the first slide of the PPT.
"My dear Yixi, happy birthday."
The PPT flipped to the next page, revealing a neat and clear table of contents.
Before Chen Jiangkai could continue, Ye Yixi coldly interrupted, "Why isn't it bilingual?"
The system beeped again.
"Warning! Warning! Love value is plummeting, hate value is skyrocketing!"
Chen Jiangkai flared up directly, "You never mentioned that kind of requirement! You better watch your words!"
"If you don't mention it, I shouldn't do it?" Ye Yixi asked. "Do I need to remind you about such trivial matters?"
"Warning! Warning! The target's murderous intent has exceeded the critical point. Pain suppression has automatically activated. Do you want to pause or exit the mission?"
"No."
Chen Jiangkai's eyes seemed to shoot lightning bolts as he kicked over the projector and rushed to choke Ye Yixi.
"I told you to make the PPT! I told you to celebrate your birthday!"
"Do you think saying 'dear' a couple of times will pacify me? I tell you, not a chance—"
Keding paused the scene and said, "Wait, pain suppression is already active?"
System, rubbing its hands together: "Shall we go for real combat?!"
"Not really," Keding was seriously considering the cost-effectiveness. "Eighty points are a bit expensive. I'm thinking if there's any way to get it for free."
System: "This is a life-saving moment! If you get strangled later, the mission will fail, and it'll be too late, bro!"
"Alright, I'll pay fifteen points. Ten for preventing concussion, five for temporary strength."
System: "...?"
"Ding, effective."
The pause ended.
Before Chen Jiangkai could scream in rage, Ye Yixi mustered all his strength and headbutted him.
"Bang!"
As if struck by lightning, Chen Jiangkai’s eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
"Huh." The system marveled. "That sound of forehead hitting forehead is truly crisp."
Ye Yixi touched his forehead, feeling nothing except a slight scratch.
But Chen Jiangkai fell into a mild concussion-induced coma, unable to wake up for now.
"Barging in without consent ends like this." Keding said contentedly. "See, we saved some points. Four rounds down, one millimeter taller."
Chen Jiangkai lost consciousness in intense pain for a long time. When he woke up, his head throbbed, and he heard a ringing in his ears from the concussion.
Where... am I?
Before... I...
Chen Jiangkai suddenly sat up, remembering everything, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"You're awake." Ye Yixi squatted beside his bed, so close it was frightening. "Remember to redo the PPT. I want to see five birthday posters tomorrow, my dear."
Chen Jiangkai stared at him for a few seconds, then let out a heart-wrenching scream and scrambled out of the house.
System: "Is that it?"
"One-click query."
Breakthrough Value: 578
Exhaustion Value: 219
Disgust Level: 99
Affection Level: 150
"Can he still love after all this?" Keding was shocked. "Can he still love after all this?!"
He thought these actions were already quite deranged, but he never expected the guy to still be persistent!
The system said, "Although you've temporarily stopped this pervert's obsession, you should also think about the victim's past life."
"The victim had friends beat him up and even had the police detain him. Every possible method has been tried."
"This pervert always calms down for a day or two before showing up again. He must have been reincarnated as a cockroach."
Keding was originally planning to stop after this, but his fighting spirit surged.
"I don't believe it!"
"Others tame eagles; I'll tame a cockroach. I'll wear him out no matter what!"
System: "...I find it hard to find words to praise you, my treasure."
After Chen Jiangkai fled his home, Ye Yixi left his residence and resumed his routine between the hotel and the library, occasionally visiting the cinema or a cat café.
The city remained calm and peaceful, unaffected by anyone's life or death.
At three in the morning, a man walked through the streets of Xi'an, with an earring glinting faintly.
He took out a device and whispered to the radar display, "It seems to be this city."
The mini-computer automatically cracked nearby WiFi passwords, then scraped keywords from local news and Weibo.
The program silently switched to background operation, and he put the computer back into his suitcase, walking steadily forward.
While Keding was immersed in books at the library, he asked the system to continue monitoring what Chen Jiangkai was doing.
The first time they lost contact for five days, Chen Jiangkai was in detention, being taught a lesson by inmates. After getting out, he continued to harass.
This time it might be around ten days, and then the cockroach spirit would return, haunting like a horror movie.
"Oh." The system said, "He's buying anesthesia and secret potions now."
"He probably plans to lace your food and water, trapping you forever."
Keding: "Isn't that illegal?"
"He's done plenty of illegal things," the system sighed. "I thought he'd reform after the head blow, but his methods are getting more extreme."
"After he prepares all these things, the pervert will likely come after you again."
Before Keding could speak, his phone rang.
Seeing an unknown number, Keding hesitated for a moment, then walked to a secluded corner and answered.
"It's me," a familiar voice laughed. "Want to meet?"
Keding blinked, surprised.
"You really did it?"
"Yes," Jiang Yi said. "The timing of the Bai family's downfall... was perfect."
"Thank you, kid."
"I was startled by this call," Keding whispered. "To be honest, the angel is dealing with the pervert stalker, so I thought it might be him again."
Jiang Yi chuckled. "I saw the news. Someone ate at Haidilao for six days straight. How's your stomach?"
"Don't remind me. It was noodles or fried rice every day after that. Now I can't stand the smell of hotpot."
"We had a prior arrangement, so I'm calling to ask if you want to meet." Jiang Yi said. "But it seems better to avoid suspicion. I don't want to be mistaken for a pervert."
"That's completely different! The nature and purpose are entirely different!" Keding didn't realize he was blushing. "And I—actually, I really want to see you!"
System: "Tsk tsk tsk."
"I need some time to understand the technological advancements in this parallel world," the man holding the phone smiled warmly. "Give me another week, and I'll come find you."
Keding felt a bit bashful. "I changed my identity and appearance again, so you might not recognize me."
"Maybe I will." Jiang Yi winked. "By the way, do you need help with the pervert?"
"No, I can handle it." Keding said cheerfully. "But feel free to join in! Let's talk when you're done!"
After hanging up, the system said, "When you said 'welcome to play,' did you mean 'welcome to play with the pervert'?"
"I didn't reveal anything. He found the clues himself."
System: "Are you really going to play with the cockroach together?!"
"Yes! It feels like an insect experiment!" Keding didn't notice how happy he sounded. "Doctor Jiang actually succeeded in the travel experiment, and he found me!"
System: "Cough, I'm more concerned about the fate of that cockroach..."
Mr. Chen Jiangkai, sometimes being a pervert comes with multiple costs, and often blood.
Rest in peace, Amen.
Hahahahahaha!! Very good!!
Impresionante.
