Chapter 554: 548, Heart-to-Heart Chat (Second Update)_1

Ren He was now deeply worried about the Perfect Level reward from the Divine Punishment System...

But he couldn’t let one setback spoil everything, could he? Even though the Divine Punishment System often pulled stunts, the Master Level Investigative Skills must be a powerful asset. In the Netherlands, which was full of dangers for him, obtaining these skills would be a tremendous help.

Ren He even wondered if the Master Level Investigative Skills could give him abilities that rivaled those of lead characters in movies?

So what kind of work should he choose to generate a task? A movie script definitely wouldn’t be possible now; it’s not something you can create overnight, and the same goes for writing a novel.

That left him with music then.

Should he add new elements to his future extreme sports background music, or should he write a song for Yang Xi?

Upon contemplation, Ren He decided it was about time for Yang Xi to release a new album, so it’s better to write a song for her—to give the internet-addicted girl something to do; otherwise, it’s just Dota, Dota, all day long...

Suddenly, he felt like introducing Yang Xi to Dota was a terrible mistake. He never expected her to become more addicted than he ever was! Before his departure, Yang Xi cooked him dinner, and then Ren He suggested she drive him to the airport. To his surprise, Yang Xi bluntly replied, "Can’t do that, I’ve got to play Dota!"

In his previous life, Lin Junjie was playing Dota two hours before the Spring Festival Gala. He told his teammates he’d just go sing a song and come right back, and off he went to perform...

The bros watching Lin Junjie’s livestream were all dumbfounded. Could you really do that?

This is like a pro gamer held back by his singing career! Back in his previous life, Ren He even bought a Dota music pack on Steam that was specially created by Lin Junjie...

This... Yang Xi couldn’t possibly be like this, could she? Considering the current situation, it seems very likely! After all, with Yang Xi’s fame and the positive reception of some of her songs, she could realistically perform at the Spring Festival Gala. The directors hadn’t invited her last year, but who’s to say about this year.

In Dota, it’s possible to directly search an ID to watch matches, so when Yang Xi plays, about a hundred thousand people tune in to watch—those numbers are staggering. Ren He thought if Yang Xi live-streamed her Dota gameplay, she’d probably earn just as much as she does from singing...

If this year Yang Xi suddenly said she had to go sing at the Spring Festival Gala and then come back to her Dota game... that would be crazy...

Now, thinking about Yang Xi’s new album, what kind of new song should he choose for her?

Got it, Ren He’s eyes lit up. There was one song he loved in his previous life that had been covered various times in singing competitions!

"Cruel Moonlight"! That’s the one!

Lin Youjia’s voice was originally somewhat enchanting towards a feminine style, and when women covered the song, it indeed shone brightly. The song’s melodious yet sorrowful tune, combined with its concise but memorable lyrics, was indeed very touching.

Ren He picked up the pen and paper from the hotel and began to write. As soon as he finished, he heard the Divine Punishment System issue a task: "Task: The host must have a 20-minute heart-to-heart talk with a white man named Allen within an hour. Failure to comply will result in the host being barred from using firearms for a week."

Great, yet again a punishment that barred the use of firearms. Ren He still had four task exemptions, but this time he actually wanted to acquire the Master Level Investigative Skills, so using an exemption would be pointless.

Suddenly, Ren He asked, "This task, if I can’t complete it within an hour, can I use a task exemption?"

He wasn’t sure about this because there had been instances where exemptions weren’t allowed, but Ren He didn’t know if the option to exempt depended on the Divine Punishment System’s mood or if there was some sort of fixed rule...

"You may," the Divine Punishment System replied calmly.

He could use the exemption! Ren He was relieved!

Whether the Divine Punishment System was concerned about his safety or something else, as long as the exemption could settle the issue, it was no big deal.

But... who the hell was this white man Allen? It was bizarre, indeed—a situation where one didn’t even know where to start, completely in the dark.

However, right then, Ren He recalled the previous eye contact with Fang... could this white man named Allen be right next to him?

So... could it be the neighbor he encountered in the elevator?

The man was on the run, and he was expected to engage him in deep conversation? Fang might listen to him, but would someone fleeing be willing to chat with him?!

This was still making a fuss out of nothing!

Ren He took a deep breath. The first and most important thing was to confirm if the neighbor’s name was Allen. He directly called Xu Nuo to hack into the hotel’s check-in records. Little Fatty hurriedly assisted him, and they discovered that the next-door neighbor was registered under the name Noah.

Considering the man was on the run and might, like him, have used false identification and information, Ren He would still have to verify this in person.

He ran to the door next door and knocked, shouting, "Allen! Open up!"

"Who are you, and how do you know me!" It was indeed the voice of the white man inside, tinged with panic.

Ren He breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that when it comes to finding someone for the Divine Punishment System’s tasks, it wasn’t difficult—it was just that you never find them until you’re thinking of them.

But Allen was unwilling to open the door. Ren He had been shouting for 5 minutes, and the other party just wouldn’t budge.

The direct approach of calling out his name was too suspicious and had scared him.

With no other choice, Ren He had to resort to the window. The three-story building with a balcony was nothing for him, especially under extraordinary circumstances—it was time for extraordinary measures.

Ren He hopped over from the balcony. As soon as he got in, he gave Allen a good scare. The man pulled out a handgun from under his pillow, aiming to shoot Ren He, never expecting that the Chinese man he met in the elevator could turn so intimidating.

First, he mysteriously knew his name, and then he forcibly invaded his living space!

Of course, Ren He didn’t give him the chance to shoot. In fact, Allen, the amateur, hadn’t even chambered a round. Before he could react, Ren He lunged forward and snatched the handgun away.

Ren He’s swift action and professional disarmament startled Allen. He had no idea that after hiding here, he would be subdued by a mysterious person...
