Chapter 492: 486, Taking the Little Friend Home (Second Update)_1

The one who actually paid the most attention to Ren He’s two Weibo accounts was Yang Xi, so when so many people started calling Ren He "husband" all at once, Yang Xi’s face darkened.

Ren He, on the other hand, didn’t have many thoughts about this and, seeing how high his influence was, he quickly instructed his PR team to change the Weibo strategy. He started to crazily post Dota videos on his public account, even disclosed his own ID, and shamelessly called for everyone to join him in playing Dota.

This ID was set up by the PR team for Ren He; now one of the team’s experts had to spend each day playing Dota under Ren He’s ID, tirelessly accepting friend requests, all to turn Ren He’s Weibo into a Dota promotion platform...

This kind of influence is too good not to use!

Countless people began to play Dota because of the promotion on his Weibo, and many girls crazily added Ren He’s Dota ID as a friend. The whole PR department was somewhat impressed by their boss’s ability to advertise so shamelessly...

What those players who added Ren He as a friend didn’t know was that Ren He wasn’t actually playing...

Of course, it was also clearly stipulated within the PR department that this account was forbidden from any interactive activities with fans. It was solely for playing matches.

Yang Xi carefully confirmed over several days that Ren He had not become smug from his popularity, nor had he shown any interest in any fan. Only then did she slowly start to feel happy again. After breakfast, she patted Ren He’s shoulder contentedly, "Stay humble, keep up the good work."

Ren He found joy in seeing Yang Xi jealous, because it was rare to see her so unsettled.

After "Cang Hai" was finished and sent to Elder Zhou, the tasks related to the novel also followed, but the novel secured two exemptions from tasks, because the earnings were donated to charity.

"Task: A child has been detected lost more than 700 meters to the northwest of the host. Please escort him back to his home at 121 Quancheng North Gate Street within one hour. Failure to complete results in the host having a fever for one month."

Huh, such a simple task? Ren He himself was stunned for a moment. If the child lived in some heavily guarded area, he might not have been able to get in. However, there was nothing special about 121 Quancheng North Gate Street. The image of the child was already planted in Ren He’s mind by the Divine Punishment System; he shouldn’t be hard to find.

Ren He greeted Yang Xi and rushed out. Seven hundred meters to the northwest should be on Desheng Gate Street.

Just as he reached Desheng Gate Street, he saw the child looking around bewilderedly, evidently lost.

Ren He was puzzled. Was this child a favored son of the Divine Punishment System? Otherwise, why would he need to personally escort him home?

The task felt peculiar through and through, and Ren He couldn’t quite understand.

Perhaps the Divine Punishment System was being considerate because he had just escaped back to China, so it didn’t assign him any difficult tasks, right?

Ren He approached the child with a smile, "Hello there, little guy. Are you lost?"

Due to a charm bonus of +3, the child felt an affinity as soon as he saw Ren He and nodded obediently, "Brother, I’m lost."

Ren He’s smile grew wider, seeing that there didn’t seem to be any issue with the task. He continued, "Should I take you home then?"

"Brother, I’m not going home. I need to go to the China Children’s Center to meet my classmates. Can you tell me how to get to the China Children’s Center?" the child said.

Ren He was utterly bewildered at the time, feeling a sense of déjà vu that was just so... damn familiar!

Nobody wants to go home and you insist on making me take them back? What’s the deal with stirring up trouble as soon as I start a mission after such a long break?

Last time it was an old lady who didn’t want to cross the road, and you had to make me help her over; now it’s a kid who doesn’t want to go home...

Ren He took a deep breath and smiled at the child, "Little buddy, I think I’d better take you home."

At that moment, the kid started to sense that something was off... He began retreating slowly, looking to make a run for it, but Ren He swept him up in his arms and started dashing towards 121 Quancheng North Gate Street!

The kid panicked at that instant, thinking what on earth is this guy doing, could he be a kidnapper?! Like in the legends, kidnappers would sell kids into remote mountain villages, right?! Super scary!

To avoid causing a scene and unnecessary misunderstandings, Ren He, regardless of the child’s wailing and crying on his shoulder, just kept sprinting away. The passersby hadn’t even grasped what was happening by the time Ren He had already rushed past them.

As he ran, Ren He looked back at the astonished stares of many people; he figured if he slowed down, they would probably call the cops. Some were thinking, could this be a kidnapper? Have they become so brazen now?!

While mentally cursing the Divine Punishment System, Ren He continued his mad dash. He was falling apart - what could he do?!

The Divine Punishment System was getting better and better at causing trouble, and if he kept this up, he might be done for! The last time he helped an old lady cross the road, Ren He was so scared that in gun-friendly America, the lady would pull out a gun from her bag and shoot him...

Where the hell do you even argue about this!

The China Children’s Center, where the child was supposed to go, was actually on the way home, situated between Quancheng North Gate Street and Desheng Gate Street. Under the China Women’s Federation, the China Children’s Center is a national-level comprehensive extracurricular educational institution and applied scientific research facility for children’s development. It serves as a window for international exchanges concerning China’s children’s services.

The kid was probably supposed to participate in an event organized by his school, and it’s unclear why he didn’t go with his teachers and classmates. Ending up lost, he then encountered the frightful Ren He, who insisted on forcibly taking him home...

As they passed by the China Children’s Center, the kid recognized his destination and slowly watched the place he longed for grow farther and farther away... the white walls and red rooftops were so distant...

The kid was heartbroken! What kind of person had he encountered?

Ren He also felt guilty. What kind of skill was it to bully a child? Yet, if there was blame, it lay with the Divine Punishment System, whose perverse sense of humor was getting heavier by the day!

When he finally arrived at 121 Quancheng North Gate Street, he put the child down at the entrance, pulled out all the cash from his pocket, about four thousand yuan, and then turned tail and ran!

He was genuinely worried that someone had called the police! What if something like this got him taken away by the cops? Where would he put his face then?

At the same time, the Divine Punishment System also issued a reward: "Host has completed the task with a perfect rating. A targeted reward selection is available."
