An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 3 Reverse canvassing, the deadliest

Bedroom balcony.

Leaning against the railing, Hao Yun was holding a mobile phone, talking with his family.

"How was it? First day of school?"

Difficult...

Hao Yun originally wanted to say this, but he was afraid that his father would be worried, and even more afraid that he could not explain clearly and be sent to a mental hospital, so he sighed and said.

"It's fine, everything is fine."

That's dinner, I'm not full.

"What about your roommate? How's your relationship going?"

"It's okay, everyone in our dormitory is talented except me."

There was silence on the phone for a while.

After a long time, Dad continued to speak.

"What about living expenses? Is 800 yuan enough?"

"Enough enough, not enough, I will find a way to work part-time or something."

"You still put your studies first, tell me that your living expenses are not enough."

Hao Yun declined with a smile and said, "No, no, I can do it myself. Besides, the freshman year is not so busy. It's better to find some work to exercise yourself. It's better than playing games in the dormitory."

Dad was silent for a while.

"Then you take care of yourself... want to talk to Mom for a while? She just went for a walk and she should be back by now,"

"Tomorrow night. I'm really tired today. I'll go to bed after taking a shower. Say hello to Mom and me. I'll hang up first."

After hanging up the phone, Hao Yun took a deep breath and let it out slowly towards the balcony, then closed his eyes, and began to think about the previous feeling.

When he just returned to the dormitory, he was thinking about what happened to him today, but just as he found something, he was interrupted by a call from his father.

Recalling the previous feelings, he tentatively recited "system" silently in his heart.

Just when he felt that his behavior was so stupid and opened his eyes, lines of azure blue light and shadows, like AR projections, instantly replaced the deep night and projected into his pupils that were dilated due to surprise.

[Host: Hao Yun (soul bound, cannot be lifted)]

[Talent: Good Luck (0)]

[Attribute: Locked, unlocked after completing the novice mission]

What the hell?

Does this plug-in have to wait for the novice task to be completed before it can be credited?

Or is it that he is still in the probationary period, and the so-called novice task is a test for himself?

Dumbfoundingly looking at the attribute panel unfolded in front of him, Hao Yun stretched out his index finger tentatively, and selected the "good luck" in the talent column.

Almost at the same time, a line of explanatory text popped out from the right side of the icon.

[Good Luck (0): As long as you accumulate good deeds, maybe something good will happen? 】

Hao Yun: ...

What's the difference between this line of instruction and nonsense?

And why the interrogative tone?

However, thinking that the "potential value" of his talent is 0 anyway, Hao Yun stopped worrying about whether this talent is useful or not, and selected the question mark in the upper right corner of the system.

As he expected, a dialog box similar to "User Notification" quickly appeared in front of him.

【Welcome to the Shiwai Expert System. 】

[Note: Once this system is bound, it cannot be returned or exchanged, nor can it be given up. 】

Hao Yun: ...

No refund or exchange is allowed.

You didn't ask the master if you agreed with the bond, did you?

However, he reckoned that if he really had to choose by himself, he would probably not choose to give up, so he skipped this nonsense and continued to read.

[Instructions for use: According to the user agreement, this system will endow the host with insight beyond cause and effect, and be able to discover the "superior" hidden in the crowd and their talents and their corresponding potential values. 】

[The potential value is greater than 5, which means that the goal will continue to develop according to the current trajectory of life, and there is a chance to achieve "extraordinary" achievements. If it is greater than 7, it means that there is a chance to achieve "epic" or above achievements, and if it is greater than 10, it may be famous in history. If it is less than 1, it cannot be seen. If it is a question mark, there are still relatively large variables, which need further observation. 】

[The potential value corresponds to the talent, and only represents the potential in the sense of probability. It is a quantitative result obtained from the causal tree diagram system analysis, and has nothing to do with the actual ability of the target and the current reality. 】

[Most of the tasks created by this system will be developed around this logic, and the triggering method is directly related to the target's desire to realize the ambition. A single target can only trigger one task at a time, and there are no restrictions on different targets. Once the task is triggered, the host can choose whether to complete it, and the task reward will also be evaluated according to multiple dimensions such as the target potential value, task difficulty, and the host's causal participation. 】

[Once the task fails, it will not have a direct negative impact on the host himself, but the same target will not be able to trigger the task again for a certain period of time, or even permanently. 】

[In addition, different from talent, the system will customize a personalized attribute column exclusive to the host, corresponding to the learning talent of a specific item, to help the host quickly master more practical skills, and more content will be explained in detail after the novice gift package is unlocked . 】

[For the user agreement, the system reserves the right of final interpretation. 】

[Remember, the cycle of karma has already begun. 】

[Achieving others is also equivalent to achieving oneself. 】

So the attribute bar is locked because you don't have any talent?

Dare love this system is quite good at taking care of people...

But this is too much!

What troubled Hao Yun the most was, what if the novice task failed?

Retriggering one, or is the system closing the door on him forever?

To be honest, he felt that the former was more likely, but he really didn't dare to gamble on this uncertain probability.

After all, winning the bet is no good, but losing the bet is a bloody loss.

Guessing that this broken system seems to be the end of nonsense, Hao Yun is about to shut down the system and think about how to complete the tasks assigned by the system.

But at this moment, another line popped out at the end of the explanatory text.

[Considering that the host is using this system for the first time and does not yet understand the concept of cause and effect, a special gift of "certificate of cause and effect" is given for trial use only. 】

Evidence of cause and effect?

Slightly stunned for a moment, Hao Yun looked at the bottom of the property bar, and sure enough, there was an extra row of icons labeled [props].

[Evidence of Karma (one-time item): After triggering, Karma can be reversed in a short period of time, making the impossible possible. But please note that cause and effect are rewarded, and all demands are exchanged at equal value. Moreover, the desired things must follow the causal cycle, and causality will not respond to things that cannot be realized in any case or things that cannot be repaid. 】

What does it mean to reverse cause and effect?

After pondering over this sentence several times, Hao Yun fell into deep thought.

"Karma and effect are rewarded... That is to say, the demand for karma will also be retaliated by karma in equivalent?"

For example, if you make a wish and win a lottery of 1 million yuan, but immediately after winning the lottery, a car accident occurs, and you lose hundreds of thousands and your health in a blink of an eye?

As for what you want, you need to follow the cycle of cause and effect, and you can’t make wishes that cannot be fulfilled and things that cannot be repaid...

Probably winning the 100 trillion lottery in wishing.

Not only is the bonus pool not that big, even if he evaporates from the world, he still can't afford the price.

In addition, Hao Yun also noticed a detail, that is, the prop can only reverse the cause and effect in a "short period of time".

Not sure how short this short period of time is, but obviously it cannot be used to achieve long-term goals.

For example, "become a top student through hard work", "won the sales champion for two consecutive years and won the favor of the boss to be promoted to a senior executive", these goals that take time to achieve are impossible to achieve.

In contrast, the wish of "getting full marks in a certain exam" or even "writing a certain question correctly" can be realized with a high probability...as long as the price can be repaid.

But in what form will the points already obtained be repaid?

Could it be that he was caught cheating after the exam?

Or simply arrange a car accident afterwards to equalize.

Although he felt that he probably wouldn't use this prop in such a boring place, Hao Yun couldn't help but think about some tricks.

for example--

Use it to interfere with other people's karma...

Unfortunately, at this moment, the balcony door suddenly opened.

Looking at Hao Yun who was gesturing to the sky, Liang Ziyuan, who was holding a towel in his hand, was slightly stunned.

"……What are you doing?"

With a subtle embarrassment on his face, Hao Yun coughed lightly and said.

"Uh, count the stars."

"...Do you have a clear count?"

"without."

"...Then you continue."

After finishing talking nonsense, Liang Ziyuan threw the towel on his shoulders, and went into the bathroom humming an unknown tune.

After a while, the sound of a shower came, followed by a wild and unrestrained singing.

Is this the music master?

Love love love... shit!

Is this a song sung by people? !

If the system hadn't reminded him that potential and ability had nothing to do with each other, Hao Yunde would have started to wonder if he had suffered from heat stroke, and the so-called system was actually just an illusion on his hospital bed.

In any case, the balcony obviously couldn't stay any longer, and the people downstairs couldn't misunderstand that they were disturbing the people.

Withdrawing his index finger from mid-air, Hao Yun, who had exited the system, silently made up his mind that the next time he starts the system, he must find a place where no one is around.

At the same time, he also made up his mind.

We must find an opportunity to persuade Brother Liang, who is "howling ghosts and howling wolves" in the bathroom, to give up running for monitor...

...

Late at night, with the lights turned off, dormitory 401 is quiet, but the class group is very lively.

At the beginning, everyone was very reserved, boasting that they were cute, and they were considered big brothers. Later, the chat started, and the topic gradually became hot.

[Hey, which class is that tall and thin boy from? It's the one in the white T-shirt. 】

[I don’t know, there are a lot of white T-shirts, right? 】

[I know, I know, it's the boy who looks clean, right? 】

【Woooooo...】

【You mean Liang Ziyuan? It seems to be from our class? (laughing)]

The group was silent for two seconds.

Including the bedroom.

"Ziyuan, have you read the class group? It seems to be talking about you!" Zheng Xueqian whispered excitedly while lying on the bed and playing with his mobile phone.

"boring."

Turning over, Brother Ziyuan, who was wearing earphones, chose to continue sleeping.

Zhu Kening didn't say anything, but news of him popped up in the group.

It seemed that he was worried that his brother's popularity in the dormitory would threaten his class status, so he tactfully changed the subject.

only……

This operation is really a bit stupid.

[(Group leader) Zhu Kening: Haha, Ziyuan is probably asleep, so let's not disturb his rest. By the way, let's choose the monitor, right? It just so happens that everyone is here, so why not talk about what everyone thinks. (bare teeth)]

Hao Yun's face turned green when he saw the news that popped up in the group.

Fuck?

Do polls only when the opponent is most popular. Is there such a person who has no vision?

What makes him even more uncomfortable is that his potential value is higher than his own in terms of EQ and IQ.

Why!

Sure enough, as he expected, a few lines of messages popped up in the group.

[I choose Ziyuan! 】

[I, I, I, I also vote for Ziyuan! 】

[Haha, it seems that everyone wants to go together. (laughing)]

[Ziyuan should be in the group, why hasn't he come out to say something? (shy)】

This time, he probably wanted to tell someone on purpose, so Zheng Xueqian didn't suppress his volume anymore, and continued to yell happily.

"Ziyuan Ziyuan! Many people in the group are looking for you!"

Liang Ziyuan, who was lying on his side, frowned, clicked his tongue lightly, and reached out to plug the earphones tighter.

"Don't make noise."

This buddy cherishes his words like gold as always, and he doesn't know if he is really not interested in girls, or he is coquettish or pretending to be aggressive.

On the other hand, there was still no movement in Zhu Kening's bed.

Hao Yun could see the light on his mobile phone screen, but there was no message from him in the group.

There was a faint feeling in his heart that something was wrong, and just when he was thinking about what kind of mess this idiot would make, a strange message suddenly popped up in the group.

This strange account has not changed the note, and the profile picture is even more of an old-fashioned sunflower.

[Yimi Sunshine: I voted for the group leader. I think the group leader has the aura of being a class leader, and also has a sense of class responsibility. It looks like a class leader. (bare teeth)]

Seeing this news, Hao Yun's face turned greener.

Fuck, this idiot is probably using a trumpet to solicit votes for himself, right? !

really……

He was obviously not the only smart person in the group, and he soon popped up to take the lead in disrupting the situation.

[Xiao Tongtong: Who is this classmate? Let’s change the notes in the class group. (Smile)】

[Xu Xiaoruan: That's right, hello newcomer! Explosive photo. Explosive photo. 】

Hao Yun raised his eyelids and glanced at the bed opposite.

With the light of the mobile phone screen, Zhu Kening's forehead was covered with sweat.

Dude, before the voting even started, there was a PR crisis.

He knew that if he didn't take action again, this task would probably be a failure.

Hao Yun sighed, typed bravely, and left his first speech in the class group.

[Hao Yun: Sorry, the one I added to the group just now was a trumpet, but I changed my account to join the group, and I kept forgetting to quit. I logged into the wrong account just now, I'm really sorry, I'll just refund it. 】

[Instructor: It's really better not to use the trumpet in the class group. 】

Gan!

The director was actually watching the screen all the time.

Hao Yun turned his face sideways and gave Zhu Kening a stare.

What the hell are you waiting for?

Stared at by these eyes, Zhu Kening shook his shoulders, quickly made up an embarrassed smile, and dismissed the trumpet from the group at the speed of light.

With the withdrawal of "One Meter Sunshine", the group was filled with joy soon.

And the topic also changed from the boring class leader election to the recent hit TV series.

Relieved, Hao Yun was about to put down his phone and go to sleep when he suddenly received a private message from Zhu Kening's trumpet.

[Yimi Sunshine: Cough cough, thank you just now, I will treat you to dinner another day. 】

Hao Yun: ...

It's okay if you don't mention eating, but he will get angry if you mention it!

[You don't need to eat, don't be a moth, I'm asleep. 】

A guy who has more than enough success to fail!

If it wasn't for the novice gift pack...

Who would be so willing to help Diao Mao run for monitor?

bother!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Hao Yun threw the phone aside, turned over and fell asleep.
