Chapter 235: Farewell, Everyone

Chapter 235: Farewell, Everyone

Exhausted, Wang Bo lay on the bed, a bitter taste in his mouth. 

It was now certain—Tang Hao wasn't mute; he was just targeting him specifically. 

Wang Bo couldn't understand why. Had he truly wronged Tang Hao in some way? 

Could it be that the system had set him up without his knowledge? No, that didn't make sense. If the system didn't want him to perform those tasks, it could have simply lowered the rewards or given him a direct warning. It wouldn't resort to such underhanded tactics. 

But if it wasn't the system, then what was it? 

Wang Bo couldn't wrap his head around it, but he knew he'd have to be more cautious from now on. 

He rubbed his sore arms, subtly shaking his head. 

For now, it was best not to use the breathing technique. Tang Hao already seemed to harbor some hostility towards him, and using the technique now would only make things more uncomfortable. 

Wang Bo soon fell into a deep sleep, but Tang San found himself wide awake. 

He was used to sleeping alone. When had there ever been someone else sharing his bed? 

Tang San couldn't relax enough to sleep soundly with someone he didn't trust lying beside him. 

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder: Did this guy have no sense of danger? How could he sleep so soundly in a stranger's home? 

Unable to bear it any longer, Tang San quietly slipped out the window. What was so great about sleeping, anyway? It was time to cultivate! 

But even as Tang San cultivated in the courtyard in the middle of the night, he couldn't stop himself from yawning around one o'clock in the morning. 

He was just too tired. 

Cultivation couldn't alleviate mental fatigue, so Tang San climbed back through the window and into the room. 

And that was when Tang San froze. 

No, Wang Bo! This is my house, my bed! How dare you take up the entire space! Tang San raged inwardly. 

He pushed at Wang Bo a couple of times, and the sleeping Wang Bo obligingly shifted his body a little. 

Looking at the small space left for him at the edge of the bed, Tang San felt that if he tried to sleep there, he'd probably be kicked off the bed by this guy in the middle of the night. 

With no other choice, Tang San reluctantly squeezed in on the inside. 

... 

[Ding! Detecting that the Child of Luck, Tang San, is about to wake up. Please move your body, Host.] 

In the morning, the system's notification served as Wang Bo's alarm. 

Though Wang Bo's mind was a little clearer, his body hadn't quite caught up yet. 

Holding onto his favorite "blanket," which he usually curled up with, Wang Bo snuggled into it. 

To be honest, it had been a long, long time since he'd slept so comfortably. 

It was at this moment that Wang Bo felt the "blanket" in his arms push against his chest. 

"Stop fooling around." 

Wang Bo instinctively pressed down on the unruly "blanket," tightening his hold on it. 

Just as Wang Bo was about to fall back asleep, he suddenly jolted awake. 

Opening his eyes, he found himself staring directly into a pair of purple-red irises. 

"Holy sht!!!!" 

In that instant of mutual shock, Wang Bo leaped out of bed and fled. 

However, because this wasn't his familiar home, he stumbled around in the dark, causing quite a ruckus. 

First, he fell off the bed, then he crashed into a wall, and in between, he knocked over quite a few stools. 

The noise was enough to wake Tang Hao in the other room. 

"You brat! What are you howling about so early in the morning?" Tang Hao roared. 

Tang Hao's shout finally brought Wang Bo back to his senses, and he looked around in a daze, realizing that he was no longer in his original home. 

Earlier, to avoid exposing himself in front of Tang Hao and Tang San, he had been constantly reminding himself that this family was ordinary and that he should act naturally and treat the place like his own home. 

In fact, Wang Bo had acted quite normally the previous day, but he had also truly overlooked the dangers here. 

"Little San, did you just see a pair of purple... erm..."

Wang Bo began tentatively, but upon seeing Tang San's expression darken, he quickly closed his mouth.

He didn't intend to hide the fact that he'd seen the purple irises. If he concealed even such a minor matter, he would be the first suspect if something major happened.

"You go back to sleep. I'm going out for a bit, and don't oversleep. You're in charge of breakfast today."

[\u200bDing! Tang San, the Child of Luck, has assigned you a task...]

Tang San spoke softly, then climbed out the window.

Tang San's movements were swift, but Wang Bo noticed he seemed flustered and awkward, as if he really didn't want to be around him.

Wang Bo merely shook his head and got into bed, intending to catch some more sleep.

It was only when he got into bed that Wang Bo noticed a rumpled area on the bed near the wall.

He recalled jumping off the bed earlier, and didn't remember any obstruction there.

Ah, could it be that Tang San had been curled up there last night? And thinking about his own sleeping habits...

Wang Bo shuddered.

It seemed like he needed to rein in some of his bad habits. But as he lay in bed, he found himself unable to fall asleep.

After all the commotion earlier, it was impossible for him to settle down.

It was then that he remembered the system had triggered another task earlier.

The first task was about Tang San, who was supposed to be getting up, being unable to do so.

The second task was Tang San ordering him to cook breakfast.

"As long as Tang San has needs, will I get rewarded for fulfilling them?"

[\u200bDing! Correct, but there's a daily limit of four tasks. Completing all four tasks will grant you bonus Luck Points.]

Wang Bo was taken aback by the system's prompt. So there was a daily limit of four tasks.

Previously, he hadn't triggered many tasks, and having two tasks triggered in a single day was unprecedented! As expected, being around Tang San would frequently trigger tasks.

Looking at the timed task, Wang Bo narrowed his eyes.

Since it was a timed task, it meant he could freely use his skills until the task ended! It was a little past four, and there were about two hours until dawn.

He had ample time to explore the surroundings and look for the waterfall.

If possible, he could even steal the Spirit Bone from within! At the thought of the 100,000-year-old Spirit Bone, Wang Bo's eyes lit up.

The reason he was enduring this hardship was for the 100,000-year-old Spirit Bone of the Blue Silver Emperor! The thought excited him.

Then, Wang Bo lay down.

Godly Clone Technique!

Wang Bo created a clone with 100% of his strength, and immediately used the godly passive skill, "Concealment," on it to avoid any signs of foul play being detected by Tang Hao.

Wang Bo slowly immersed his consciousness in the clone.

And to his surprise, he found that while the clone perfectly replicated his strength, it did not replicate his physical state! After a whole night of blacksmithing, he felt a bit sore and tired.

But the clone was unaffected! This discovery excited Wang Bo, and he realized that this detail could be exploited.
