Chapter 441: 435, Divine Punishment System, can you stop causing trouble? (First update)_1

After Yang Xi and Knight made a scene by singing and sending blessings at someone else’s wedding, the event quickly caught media attention. It was certainly an interesting occurrence, as Yang Xi was famously known for not participating in any commercial activities. Other than singing, she was rarely seen at public events.

Because of this, the calls for Yang Xi to hold concerts grew louder. Moreover, thanks to Yang Xi, the originally Chinese songs started gaining some popularity worldwide.

Now, you could see more and more people covering Yang Xi’s Chinese songs on video websites. Of course, there were even more covers of her English songs, one video after another going viral, making everyone want to try covering them.

And just this afternoon, Yang Xi, who rarely attended events, suddenly went to congratulate a couple on their wedding. And they were strangers, no less.

The whole situation felt terribly novel.

Suddenly, someone speculated online, "Could it be that this isn’t the only time they’re doing this? If it’s just once, wouldn’t all that professional gear go to waste?"

At this point, the newlyweds from the past few days began to harbor a faint hope...

However, a week passed and no one saw any new movements from Yang Xi. People from the Juilliard School of Music also confirmed that Yang Xi had been attending classes at Juilliard every day these past few days, not stepping out at all.

"It must be because the news broke too quickly. They didn’t want to risk being recognized, so they abandoned the plan!"

The newlyweds from these past few days then started to resent the media. Why expose it? Perhaps everyone could have received the blessings too!

However, the person in the most awkward position now was actually Ren He himself...

What he never expected was that even such a creative stunt would provoke the Divine Punishment System!

That afternoon, as everyone was heading home and their car was stopped at a traffic light, the Divine Punishment System suddenly issued a task: "Help the old lady 20 meters away cross the street within 5 minutes. Failure to complete will lead to the punishment of not distinguishing left from right for one year."

Ren He gasped at that moment. Not distinguishing left from right for a whole year was some sort of cruel joke. Who would think of such a thing? If he couldn’t tell left from right for a year, he might very well die in some extreme challenge!

But helping an old lady cross the street wasn’t a difficult task. Ren He immediately got out of the car to help her. Liu Erbao and Yang Xi were both taken aback for a moment: "What’s he doing? Hey, it looks like he’s going to help the old lady cross the street?"

"It really does seem like he’s going to help her cross," Yang Xi mused, her heart softening at the sight. This boy always had sudden acts of kindness up his sleeve.

Yang Xi had been very happy when Ren He took the Qinghe Club to do charity teaching. She felt that he was truly an extraordinary person, someone who always had something surprisingly good hidden away inside him.

She also regretted not being able to join the teaching efforts and now often hoped that Ren He would take her to teach as well.

Everyone in the car watched as Ren He went to assist the trembling old lady across the street. They all stopped in the middle of the road. There weren’t many cars around, and this suburb-bound street saw only a few vehicles, so they weren’t causing any traffic disruptions.

The old lady appeared to be unable to walk properly, just standing by the roadside. If no one helped her, she probably wouldn’t dare to cross the street on her own.

The more Yang Xi thought about it, the softer her heart became.

Ren He quickly approached the old lady: "Hello, let me help you cross the street," he said with a smile, thinking this task was like being given free points.

But then... the old lady looked at him and said with a smile, "I’m not crossing the street. I’m waiting for someone here."

At that moment, Ren He’s face turned green. Divine Punishment System, can you stop messing around? The lady doesn’t even want to cross the street! What are you trying to do with this task? It’s clearly a setup against me! Haven’t I used up all my immunity rights? Is this really okay?!

Ren He watched the old lady in front of him who didn’t want to cross the street, with ten thousand horses galloping toward the Divine Punishment System in his heart. What should he do?!

"What’s Ren He doing? Why hasn’t he helped the old lady across yet?" Liu Erbao asked curiously.

At this point, Yang Xi also felt that there might be a problem, but no one could hear exactly what the situation was.

Then, before their very eyes, they suddenly saw Ren He lift the old lady and run her across to the other side of the road...

As he ran, they could still hear the old lady frantically shouting that she didn’t want to cross the street...

Everyone in the car followed Ren He’s figure from left to right, completely dumbfounded, okay? The lady doesn’t want to cross the street; why are you helping her across?!

Yang Xi’s originally soft heart suddenly felt like it was struck by lightning; the plot twist was so fast she couldn’t keep up with the pace...

All that inner drama from before was for nothing, okay? This wasn’t about doing good deeds; it was totally incomprehensible, all right?!

Liu Erbao and the others were utterly bewildered, struggling to find words until finally one managed to say with a laugh, "Heh, Brother Ren He really stands out from the crowd..."

Watching as Ren He got the old lady across the road, they thought that would be the end of it, but then Ren He picked the old lady up again and ran her back...

What’s your angle here? You carried her across, why are you taking her back again?!

Is this what they call helping an old lady cross the street? It seems a bit different from what everyone imagines...

What on earth did you go over there to do?!

Ren He was also in despair, he couldn’t just toss the woman across the street and leave her, could he?! Later, she would have to go to the trouble of walking back and waiting for someone. If he really left her on the other side to fend for herself, what right would he have to call himself a good socialist youth?

But he had been forced to this point; he couldn’t just not do the task. So, he could only carefully carry her across and then back again without harming her. After bringing her back, Ren He felt helpless and directly stuffed almost five thousand US dollars from his wallet into the old lady’s pocket, feeling a little guilty.

But what could he do? He was desperate!

Even after using up all his exemptions, such tasks still popped up. The Divine Punishment System was obviously addicted to messing things up!

And it was precisely because of this MV’s creativity that the Divine Punishment System issued a unique task. Ren He’s mood was simply indescribable. He decided to just film the rest of the MV normally and to stop contributing ideas, as it wasn’t worth taking on a task for such a trivial matter.

Good steel should be used where it counts!

The old lady was so angry at the roadside that she wanted to call the police, so Ren He hurriedly stuffed the money and ran. The amount wasn’t important; at least he expressed his regret...

At this moment, the Divine Punishment System announced a reward: "Host has completed the task with a ’Good’ rating. Rewarding host with Basic firearm skills."

This time, it was Ren He’s turn to be stunned. As a person who hadn’t touched a gun more than ten times in his past and present life, why had he been rewarded with firearm skills?

...

Time for a meal.
