18: Abolish the Destiny Child's system and capture the heroine's plan

Zhou Cai immediately followed the navigation and drove toward the pickup location.

It was a company nearby.

It wasn't far from him.

But just at this moment, he suddenly saw that the cars in front were suddenly becoming dense, and their speed was getting slower and slower.

"Traffic jam?" Zhou Cai was stunned for a moment, and soon realized something.

Just as he had expected, at first the cars in front would move a little, but later there was really no movement at all.

They were completely stuck on the road!

"Why am I so unlucky?"

Zhou Cai's face darkened.

This was his first time encountering a traffic jam on the Magic City elevated highway!

He subconsciously looked at the rearview mirror beside him.

There were cars in front and behind.

Zhou Cai had no other way.

He could only watch helplessly as the time for his system task slowly passed by, eventually hitting zero.

[Ding! Task failed!]

[Task failure penalty: ten seconds of electrotherapy]

"What?" Zhou Cai was stunned.

This was his first time failing a task.

He didn't expect that there would be a penalty after failing a task!

"Wait..."

In a panic, he subconsciously intended to say something.

But before he could even utter a complete sentence, a current of electricity instantly emerged from his body!

Immediately after, it quickly rushed into his body.

Zhou Cai only felt his body being paralyzed instantly!

Then, the intense pain made him subconsciously open his mouth.

His eyeballs bulged!

His body arched!

He started shaking crazily!

He wanted to scream, but found that he couldn't even make a sound with his mouth open!

After a bout of violent convulsions, Zhou Cai's tense body suddenly relaxed.

He spat out a puff of black smoke.

His hair stood on end, and wisps of white steam rose from his body.

His consciousness was a blur.

[Protagonist Zhou Cai's mind is unstable, Villain Value +456]

[...]

After his consciousness gradually recovered, Zhou Cai couldn't help but tremble slightly, revealing a look of fear!

Pain!

It was too painful!

This pain that reached deep into his soul made his heart tremble with fear!

He even had the thought of wanting to unbind the system!

However, after hesitating for a long time, he shook his head and gave up this idea.

The system was the key to whether he could turn things around.

He didn't want to give up this opportunity easily.

Moreover, when he accepted tasks before, he had never failed.

In fact, the time the system gave him was absolutely sufficient.

This time it was purely because of bad luck, encountering a traffic jam!

Yes, it was just bad luck!

Zhou Cai's consciousness gradually cleared up, and then he gradually calmed down.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, he comforted himself in his heart.

Just at this moment, a text message suddenly popped up on the phone beside him.

--Order cancelled, account reputation decreased.

The corner of his mouth twitched.

However, Zhou Cai did not give up.

He found that after his order failed, the road in front soon started flowing again.

Walking to the front, he realized that the reason for the traffic jam just now was because a multi-vehicle accident had occurred ahead.

After the road returned to normal, Zhou Cai let out a long sigh of relief and continued to operate the APP to start accepting orders.

However, next, he seemed to be haunted by bad luck and always encountered various problems.

Either it was a traffic jam, or the customer actively cancelled the order halfway!

For a whole night, until nine o'clock, the flow of people had gradually become sparse.

He hadn't completed a single order!

During this period, he was also electrocuted by the system twice!

Even, because he had failed to complete many orders, his account was temporarily banned by the platform!

Zhou Cai was almost vomiting blood from anger, but he was helpless.

After resting for a while, he could only drive back to his small rental house first.

Little did he know, not far behind him, an inconspicuous black sedan was quietly watching all of this.

The Chen family.

In the villa, Chen Tianming looked at Zhou Cai's current state, touching his chin with one hand.

"Will there be a system penalty if the task fails?"

Then, the corner of his mouth slightly rose.

He didn't expect that this Son of Destiny's system would be so easy to crack.

As long as he kept having people obstruct Zhou Cai and made him unable to complete his deliveries, he could make his system completely useless.

Yes, the reason why Zhou Cai didn't succeed in a single delivery for such a long time today was precisely because he had intervened behind the scenes.

Just as Chen Tianming was pondering, suddenly, footsteps approached.

Looking back, it was Zhao Xuexuan who had already finished work.

At this time, Zhao Xuexuan hadn't had time to change out of her work clothes, and the aura of an icy president was fully revealed.

However, when she saw Chen Tianming, she subconsciously showed a look of fear.

"You, you are looking for me..."

Chen Tianming's mouth slightly curled up.

Two hours later...

Zhao Xuexuan was like a frightened little rabbit, curled up in Chen Tianming's arms, her pretty face flushed red.

Chen Tianming said indifferently: "How is the investigation going on the employee named Chi Wange that I asked you to pay attention to during the day?"

Upon hearing this, a flash of unnatural expression crossed Zhao Xuexuan's pretty face, and she whispered: "It's pretty good."

She briefly stated the information she had learned.

Chen Tianming thought for a moment and didn't see any problems either, saying: "Since that's the case, then raise her position."

"Let her be a product manager first."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and suddenly smiled: "Are you jealous?"

Zhao Xuexuan stiffened in his arms immediately!

She didn't expect that Chen Tianming would see through her thoughts so quickly.

However, she was still stubborn and said: "How is that possible?"

Chen Tianming chuckled and did not answer.

He turned over, and naturally, there was another storm...

After "sleeping" with Zhao Xuexuan, the next morning, Chen Tianming got up.

He called Luo Yanyun and Gao Zhiwan, giving the Beauty-Preserving Grass he had drawn earlier to the two women to consume.

--He had already taken the time to give Ah Qi's to her earlier.

This miraculous effect shocked both of them!

Naturally, the next part was Chen Tianming's time to accept the two women's repayment.

Four hours later...

Chen Tianming changed his clothes and walked out of the hotel, driving straight to a bookstore called "Tomorrow"!

After he discovered that this heroine liked to read, he immediately had someone find out the bookstore she frequented, as well as the specific time.

Subsequently, he discovered that this heroine usually went to the "Tomorrow" bookstore by bus on Sundays around two in the afternoon, either to buy books or to bring her own, and read by the window in the store.

And now, the book she was reading was "All Quiet on the Western Front", an anti-war novel.

Chen Tianming arrived at this bookstore in advance.

In order to keep a low profile and make it easier to get closer to Chi Wange, he didn't drive the Emperor S, but chose a low-key, ordinary black van.

At this time, Chi Wange had not yet arrived.

He walked to the bookshelf, pulled out the novel, and then quickly started flipping through it.

As a Mingjin ancient martial artist, his mental power was far superior to ordinary people.

Although he couldn't do something as exaggerated as photographic memory, it was no problem to remember the general content of the whole book in a short time, and memorize a few classic passages.

"—The graveyard has become ruins. Everywhere are coffins and corpses. They have been killed again. But every broken corpse has saved our lives."

Silently reading the content in the book in his heart, he paused for a moment.

He walked to the seat by the window where Chi Wange often sat, and then, pretending to be reading a book, slowly began to flip through the pages in his hand.

Not long after he sat down, footsteps sounded.

The person who came was Chi Wange.

Although Chen Tianming didn't look up, he could feel Chi Wange's aura, and could feel that after she entered the bookstore, her gaze went straight toward his direction.
