Before Luo Chuan rushed out to block the hoodlum's attack, this system task popped up on the panel. He didn't have time to look at it then, and the system only notified him of the task completion after he blocked the blow.
It wasn't until now that Luo Chuan had time to check what was on the system panel.
【System Task: Saving a Life is Better Than Building Seven-Level Pagodas (Completed)】
【Task Reward: Title Draw *1】
Although the system didn't describe the task, it was clear from the name that if Luo Chuan hadn't intervened, Zhu Wei Jiao would have met an untimely end.
That kind of force, if it landed on her head, would have left her in a vegetative state. After all, she was just a girl.
If something like that had happened, it was unimaginable how devastated her father and mother would be.
However, this incident served as a wake-up call for Luo Chuan. This was the real world, not a TV show, and it was a world that combined multiple movies and TV shows. Many things couldn't be predicted just based on the plot.
Later, Luo Chuan noticed the task reward.
Title?
Luo Chuan scratched his head. What was the point of that? Was this another new feature of the system?
He thought for a moment and then directly claimed the reward. A spinning wheel appeared in his vision, divided into countless segments with different colors.
The largest section was white, taking up about 80%. Next came blue, taking up about 15%. There was also a small corner of purple, and a tiny sliver of gold.
It was clear from the size that the titles had levels, ranging from white to blue, purple, and gold, from lowest to highest.
Seeing this, Luo Chuan became interested. Was this really how it was? Titles couldn't be just some useless thing. He prayed to Buddha that he would be able to draw a good one.
He didn't have high expectations, purple would be fine.
As Luo Chuan muttered to himself, the wheel began to spin crazily. With hopeful eyes, he watched as the pointer finally stopped in the white area.
Well, Luo Chuan shrugged, he knew he didn't have that good of luck.
【Title: Experienced Prospector】
Prospector: Can obtain gold of random weight on the 15th of every month.
Was the title simple? Simple!
Was it powerful? Powerful!
When he saw the words "gold," Luo Chuan's eyes nearly popped out. This was practically handing him money!
Without a way to monetize his skills, money had always been Luo Chuan's weakness. Although he still had some cash left from Luo Ning, it covered his tuition and living expenses for the next year and a half.
Now, with this title, Luo Chuan wouldn't have to worry about money for a while. If he ran out, he could always sell gold.
If he had a lot of gold, he could even achieve financial freedom. Of course, he needed to stay low-key. This system thing could only be kept secret, never to be spoken of until death.
With three days left until the 15th of this month, Luo Chuan was already getting impatient.
"Chuan'er, Luo Chuan."
Tu Jun waved his hand in front of Luo Chuan's face before he finally snapped out of his daze.
"What are you thinking about? You're grinning like a fool."
"You're the fool," Luo Chuan retorted.
"I was just thinking about something. But after what happened today, haven't you thought about how to handle things?"
After the doctor applied medicine and bandaged his wound, Luo Chuan put on his clothes and turned to Tu Jun.
Tu Jun was stunned for a moment, then looked confused. "Handle what? Handle what?"
So you're just hot-headed, not really thinking about the consequences? It's clear that this fight means you've made enemies of those hoodlums. You and Tu Jun won't have any problems, but Song Jie's family will likely suffer.
Those hoodlums live on the edge of crime, in a grey area. They have countless ways to deal with a harmless high school student and a fruit seller.
So, it seems like you guys stood up for justice and helped out, but in reality, you've brought trouble upon Song Jie's family.
Listening to Luo Chuan's analysis, Tu Jun and the others turned pale. They had just been annoyed by these people extorting money and demanding favors, how did it end up being their fault?
Especially Luo Shen Xi, the smartest of the F4, instantly thought of the worst possible outcome.
"It shouldn't... it shouldn't be like that," Tu Jun stammered.
Luo Chuan shrugged and said, "Maybe. Maybe they'll be magnanimous and won't hold a grudge against Song Jie's family."
To put hope in the kindness of others is the greatest folly! Luo Chuan didn't say this, but he joined Tu Jun and the others, who were somewhat dejected, as they returned to Daxing Village.
Later, everyone parted ways. Tu Jun handed something to Luo Chuan, then returned home with heavy thoughts, trying to figure out how to deal with this. Zhu Wei Jiao wanted to talk to Luo Chuan, but after mumbling for a while, she stomped her feet and ran away, leaving Luo Chuan bewildered.
Finally, as Luo Chuan was about to leave, Luo Shen Xi stopped him.
"What's wrong?" Luo Chuan turned to him.
No one knew that this seemingly carefree, simple-minded, yet cunning boy was the smartest of the four. In the original plot, he easily got into Qinghua University.
Luo Shen Xi took a couple of steps forward and whispered to Luo Chuan, "Chuan'er, have you figured out how to deal with those people?"
Luo Chuan's eyes flashed, and he thought for a moment before saying, "I have an idea. As the saying goes, you have to cut the weeds to their roots or they'll just grow back. Especially since I took a beating."
That last sentence was the key, wasn't it? Luo Shen Xi smacked his lips, surprised that Luo Chuan was so vindictive. He had never seen this side of him before, so he must be someone who is thick-skinned and heartless.
He thought about it carefully. Fortunately, he hadn't done anything wrong to him.
But, when he thought about it, Luo Chuan had changed so much recently. It seemed like his grandma's death had had a big impact on him.
"Why don't you tell Dog Brother? Maybe he can help."
Luo Chuan waved his hand, "I just have an idea. If he tells everyone, it'll just be a joke."
"Right," Luo Shen Xi nodded knowingly, obviously aware of Tu Jun's tendency to blab.
Finally, Luo Shen Xi assured Luo Chuan that he would keep it a secret, not saying anything to anyone. If Luo Chuan needed his help, he was there.
Luo Chuan naturally trusted his promise.
Then, the two parted ways and went their separate ways.
