Chapter 116: 115, Another Misunderstanding?! (9th Update)_1

Ren He finished his dinner that night and returned to his residential complex. First, he unloaded his mountain bike from the pickup truck. Just as he was about to go out for a stroll and incidentally complete his mission, he unexpectedly spotted that young man Lin Hao’s bike again!

Why is his bike parked at the entrance of his own residential complex? Ren He looked around cautiously, trying to see if Lin Hao was lurking nearby to ambush him. According to his reasoning, Lin Hao’s presence here was very likely because Ren He had bested him in their two previous conflicts, making the guy vomit three times, so surely, the other party was seeking revenge.

He even figured out where his house was; such painstaking efforts indeed!

Now, Ren He was absolutely confident he could win a face-to-face fight against Lin Hao, but the problem was, if the other guy ambushed him, he wouldn’t be able to take it. Although it seemed Lin Hao wasn’t a bad person and his life wasn’t in danger, it still wouldn’t be worth getting beaten up, right?

Ren He looked around for a long time but didn’t see Lin Hao anywhere. He stealthily moved toward Lin Hao’s bike and peered into the windows, hmm, no one there.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a key... Phut! Phut! Phut! Phut! Four times!

Watching as Lin Hao’s tires deflated in an instant made Ren He feel a bit sentimental; it seemed he had punctured them too many times; his key was even getting bent. Thinking about it made him feel a bit embarrassed... However, since the other party might have come for revenge, there was entirely no need for mercy.

A character like Ren He has never been a gentleman. Telling him to repay enmity with virtue, to treat everyone with a refreshing breeze of spring—those are all impractical.

Why be so hypocritical? Make money just to make it, if you have money you spend it, if you have grudges you take revenge; isn’t life much more straightforward without all the useless chatter and pretense?

Just then, Lin Hao happened to come downstairs from Ren He’s building and witnessed Ren He satisfyingly tuck the key back into his pocket before his gaze caught his deflated tires!

F**k! Damn it! My tires, what did they ever do to anyone, this is the third time!

Lin Hao’s heart was practically bleeding. The allowance from doing a single mission wasn’t much to begin with, and to have to patch up the tires three times was even worse!

Ren He also saw Lin Hao, and the two of them locked eyes across the distance. Ren He quietly moved towards his mountain bike...

"Stand right there!" Lin Hao was enraged. Although he knew it was very likely he couldn’t beat this youth, it was no longer a matter of whether he could win the fight. He had to fight; otherwise, he simply couldn’t face himself!

As if Ren He would listen. He jumped on his mountain bike and rode off. Fortunately, the tires were punctured; otherwise, his mountain bike really wouldn’t have outrun a car on four wheels.

Watching Ren He quickly ride off dozens of meters away, Lin Hao felt almost desperate. He couldn’t outrun him on foot, let alone when the other was cycling...

What a disaster!

Why was a middle schooler so difficult to deal with? Lin Hao was confused. Was this kid really a middle-schooler?!

But, hadn’t the misunderstanding already ended? Why did he still puncture his tires? What Lin Hao didn’t know was that while the old misunderstanding had concluded, a new one had just begun.

In fact, it could be said that from their very first meeting, Ren He was fated to have no connection with Skydrive. Even if there was a connection, joining an organization had never been Ren He’s goal—he just wanted to enjoy life to the fullest.

To re-live his life, why would he join some random organization? Was it because he made too much money and was bored with nothing to do? Or was it because his girlfriend wasn’t pretty? Was his phone not entertaining, or were the games not interesting?

So from the very first time Lin Hao spoke to him, Ren He had already replied, "Not interested, thanks."

To be honest, at this moment, Lin Hao really wanted to go all-out and compete with Ren He, but discipline didn’t allow him to do so, even with his status as an external hire.

After Ren He left the community, he headed towards the new district on his bicycle, convinced that Lin Hao couldn’t catch up with him. Since he couldn’t return for a while, he might as well get started on his task.

In a small city like Luo City, there are many plots under development, especially in the new district. At night, it’s like a ghost town—so deserted it’s pitiful, which is perfect for Ren He to complete his task.

He didn’t want to wait until the wee hours and decided to start his task now. As soon as he entered the new district, Ren He began to pick up speed. The digital speedometer on his mountain bike showed a velocity of 55 kilometers per hour.

In fact, Ren He had realized that the most difficult part of completing the task of "maintaining a speed of 70 km/h for 20 minutes in the urban area" was not how to accelerate to 70 km/h, but how to prevent the speed from dropping!

You have to stop at a red light, yield to pedestrians and trucks, and slow down when turning a corner. He could high-speed drift around a bend, but maintaining a drift at 70 km/h without crashing was something even Ren He couldn’t achieve.

And the most crucial part of the task was that the speed couldn’t drop below 70, not even for a second. Even if you have sustained 70 km/h for 19 minutes and 59 seconds, if you drop to 69 in the last second, sorry but the mission is a failure. Start over.

That’s why Ren He needed to choose the right place. This road must be straight enough to ride for 20 minutes and be able to run any red lights—although running red lights is not good, there’s no other way. If you want to find a route that allows for a 20-minute ride at 70 km/h without red lights, then the only option is the highway...

But obviously, the highway is considered to be outside the urban area, so that’s out of the question.

Ren He thought of a place where he could complete the task, the main artery of the new district, Kaiyuan Boulevard! The entire 24-kilometer stretch is a straight line and it’s isolated—perfect!

kilometers might already seem long, but consider that the total distance of the Tour de France cycling race is 3200 kilometers, divided into six stages. Sometimes one stage requires riding from dawn until dusk to finish. Later, it was deemed too much to have only six stages, with each stage being excessively long, so the 3200 kilometers were eventually divided into eight stages.

By the time he found the starting point of Kaiyuan Boulevard, it was already 10 o’clock at night. Kaiyuan Boulevard, which is usually deserted, was now so empty that not even a shadow could be seen. There was only one drawback—the streetlights had been turned off.

Ren He should be thankful it was the year 2005, when smog wasn’t as severe, allowing moonlight to penetrate through the clouds and illuminate the ground, so it wasn’t too dark.

Let’s get started. Ren He put on his goggles. Riding at 70 km/h without goggles would cause tears in the wind, so Ren He was well prepared for such basic protective measures.

It took just over ten seconds for Ren He to accelerate from a standstill to 70 km/h, thanks to his powerful muscle groups. If there were a draft event in the cycling club at the time, Ren He would surely be the rookie king of 2005.

The sensation of cycling is marvelous, relying solely on one’s own strength to reach the speeds of a car, with the wind beside you and everything under your control. That’s why many people love cycling trips—it’s a wonderful sport.

At least as the first event in which Ren He became the number one in the extreme sports domain, he liked it.

Ren He maintained a steady pace, fortunately without encountering the expected pedestrians or trucks, nor the need to worry about traffic lights. Thus, he was able to smoothly complete the 20-minute task! He had thought before that if a truck suddenly appeared, he would have to jump off instead of braking because there was no way to stop in time.

The moment the task was completed, the voice of the Divine Punishment System rang out: "Host completed the task, charm attributes +1!"

No way, charm attributes again? Ren He was stunned for a moment, belatedly realizing he hadn’t even figured out what role charm attributes played in his current life, even considering love letters received as something intended for Yang Xi and throwing them away...

However, if he could turn back time and add an extra three points to his charm attributes, he might not just receive love letters but face-to-face confessions...

Of course, that was just a hypothetical situation. At this moment, Ren He still felt that charm attributes were a rather useless reward.
