136: Chapter 136 Saving the Simp
After Lin Xiao agreed to the competition, the heat surrounding this matter grew even more.
Someone even started a poll on the School Forum.
Watching more and more people support him, Lin Xiao felt a bit anxious.
Could this be the power of killing with kindness?
Looking at the current situation, whether he loses or deals with the person who caused the problem beforehand, his reputation is going to be ruined...
While hesitating, he suddenly remembered.
Besides having Money Ability, he also had Superpower!
"System, look, we've been working together for so long, can you open a backdoor for me? Give me a prop card that can improve my swimming level?"
Lin Xiao asked in a low voice.
It was a last resort, but he didn't expect the system to actually respond.
[Host, my authority allows me to open the Mall tasks for you in advance. After completing the task, the Mall will be successfully opened, and you can exchange points for skill cards in it.]
"Really? Then hurry up and open it!"
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up instantly.
[Mall Task 1: Save the Simp.]
Lin Xiao looked eager, waiting for the system's next explanation.
However, there wasn't any.
These few short words were the entirety of the task.
Lin Xiao had no choice but to wander around the school, hoping to quickly encounter a simp who needed his help.
But after walking around, he didn't encounter anyone.
He had no choice but to sit on a bench next to the school woods and leisurely bask in the sun.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered that besides him, there were two dogs basking in the sun here.
One was a little yellow dog, the other a little white dog.
They were cuddling together, licking each other's fur.
"Simp!"
A flash of inspiration struck Lin Xiao's mind instantly.
That's right, the system didn't say that 'simp' referred to a human!
It could really be talking about dogs!
Lin Xiao immediately perked up, staring intently at the two dogs.
Although he didn't know what danger the puppies might encounter in the school, he remained focused, ready to save the dogs from fire and water at any moment!
Perhaps because his behavior was too strange, passing students also curiously stared at the dogs.
They didn't understand, but he must have his own reasons!
The clear-eyed college students all thought so.
Before they knew it, a row of curious people were squatting beside the dogs.
After about ten minutes, someone finally couldn't help it.
"Um, this classmate, what exactly are you looking at?"
The speaker was The Boy, dressed in an exaggerated style, wearing a full set of designer logos.
He looked like a Rich Second Generation.
Lin Xiao didn't even lift his head, saying indifferently: "I feel like they are going to encounter danger."
"Oh, are you from the animal protection club? I've heard about dog thieves lately, but this is the school after all, they wouldn't be that rampant, right?"
The Rich Second Generation was still confused.
Lin Xiao didn't speak; he didn't know how to explain it to these people.
Gradually, the onlookers felt bored and left one after another.
In the end, only the Rich Second Generation remained.
Sensing that the Rich Second Generation was still by his side, Lin Xiao finally moved his gaze away for a moment, "Brother, are you that free?"
"Of course I am..."
The Rich Second Generation looked at the takeout bag in his hand and suddenly slapped his forehead, "Oh no, I forgot!"
At this moment, his phone rang at the perfect time.
Seeing the name displayed on the screen, his expression instantly became fawning.
After answering the phone, his tone was filled with doting, "Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, just now... Oh, I didn't mean I didn't want to bring you food, I'll be there soon, five minutes, no, three minutes, just three minutes! Don't be mad, it's my fault, it's all my fault!"
As he spoke, he trotted towards the girls' dormitory.
At this moment, the system's voice suddenly rang in Lin Xiao's mind.
"There is danger?"
After hearing the system's prompt clearly, Lin Xiao glanced at the direction the Rich Second Generation left, then looked at the two dogs, gritted his teeth, and rushed towards the Rich Second Generation.
Compared to a dog's life, human life was more important.
The Rich Second Generation was too anxious and was running faster and faster.
Passing an intersection, he only heard a sharp car horn.
It was already too late to dodge!
"Get back here!"
At the critical moment, his arm was yanked hard by someone.
In his terrified gaze, a truck narrowly drove past him.
His heart was beating violently, he felt his whole body go weak, and he was too scared to say a word.
"No, brother, you aren't looking at the road!"
Lin Xiao ran too fast and was panting a bit.
He subconsciously slapped the Rich Second Generation, but didn't expect to almost knock the already terrified Rich Second Generation to the ground.
Lin Xiao quickly held him up and dragged him to the steps nearby.
"Hey, come back to your senses!"
He raised his hand and waved it in front of the Rich Second Generation.
Suddenly, the Rich Second Generation grabbed his hand.
"Benefactor! Life-saving benefactor!"
The Rich Second Generation's voice and hands were trembling.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Lin Xiao struggled to pull his hand out.
Since he saved the person, he should go back to keep watching the dogs.
But just at this moment, the system's voice came from his mind.
[Congratulations Host, "Mall Task 1: Save the Simp" is complete!]
In surprise, Lin Xiao slowly turned to look at the still tearfully grateful Rich Second Generation.
"Simp?"
"What?"
The Rich Second Generation didn't seem to have reacted yet.
Soon, he heard a strange voice again.
[Damn! It was actually talking about this simp?]
Wait, who are you cursing?
The Rich Second Generation also seemed to realize that Lin Xiao was talking about him, and wanted to question him on the spot.
But he suddenly realized that he didn't see Lin Xiao speak.
Is he seeing a ghost?
[Is this guy an idiot? He's been PUA'd by his so-called goddess for so long, spending both money and effort, yet that goddess is using his money to support her own boyfriend!]
[Oh, the goddess's boyfriend is even more outrageous! He's been married for a long time and has a pair of twins!]
[In other words, this simp brother not only has to support his goddess, but also her boyfriend, and the boyfriend's entire family!]
[What a contemporary saint! Even the Great Buddha would have to give up his seat for him!]
...
The Rich Second Generation was stunned, completely stunned.
What is this?
Inner voice?
He opened his mouth to ask Lin Xiao what was going on, but found that he was as if he had been silenced, unable to say a word.
His face turned red from holding it in, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence, "No, brother..."
Huh? He could speak again?
After several attempts, he discovered that as long as he didn't ask about the content mentioned in the inner voice, he could speak normally.
After thinking it over, in order to verify the truth of those inner voices, he said sincerely to Lin Xiao: "Benefactor, can you do me another favor?"
