Chapter 8: Life Coach

When Lin Luo left Wei Weisi's house, his face was pale, and his steps were a bit unsteady.

A wisp of Spooky Power emerged from within him, coiling around his fingertips, Lin Luo said speechlessly.

“You’re lying, aren’t you? There hasn’t been any change at all.”

Dispelling the Spooky Power, Lin Luo pouted, intending to use the remaining time to generate more tasks.

In fact, generating tasks was sometimes really simple.

Lin Luo casually found a target, an Ordinary Level Abnormality with a horse face and human body.

Walking up to him, Lin Luo smiled and said, “Excuse me, do you want gray coins?”

“Yes! Who doesn’t want gray coins? Why are you asking this? Do you have some way to get them?”

“Ding! Ordinary Level Abnormality Dal Mabe has issued a task to you:

Introduce him to a way to obtain gray coins.

Task completion reward: 10 gray coins, Dal Mabe’s favorability +5.”

The Ordinary Level Abnormality’s desire for gray coins was ingrained in his bones.

The smile on Lin Luo’s face grew even gentler, and he softly said, “Yes, I have a way. Do you want to know?”

The Abnormality’s horse face immediately bobbed up and down rapidly, his eyes revealing hope.

“Yes, of course, I want to! What’s the way? Tell me!”

“It’s simple, just find a job, isn’t it?”

“Ding! Congratulations on completing the task! You have obtained 10 gray coins, Dal Mabe’s favorability +5.”

“Ding! Warning, warning! Dal Mabe’s favorability has been reset to zero!”

“Ding! Warning, warning! Dal Mabe’s favorability has dropped to -10!”

“You dare to make fun of me!”

His horse face twisted, revealing an unkind expression, and white steam puffed from his nostrils.

But Lin Luo simply released his aura casually, and the pleasant system prompt sounded in his ear.

“Ding! Dal Mabe’s favorability has risen to 5!”

“You are right, sir! Have a good trip, sir!”

The entire process just now took less than three minutes, and Lin Luo had earned 10 gray coins from the system.

Calculated on an 8-hour workday, Lin Luo could earn 1600 gray coins a day, totaling 48000 gray coins a month.

And Ordinary Level Abnormality could die at any time, and new Ordinary Level Abnormality could be born at any time.

However, such tasks could not bring Spooky Power.

If he wanted Spooky Power, he needed to carefully strategize.

But at this time, most of the Plain-Class Abnormality were at work.

And it was difficult to encounter Dangerous-Grade Abnormality on the street without a proper reason.

Unless they were too down and out, Dangerous-Grade Abnormality basically had their own vehicles.

Lin Luo now somewhat regretted resigning from his postman job earlier.

He had thought at the time that after signing up, he would need to devote time to intensive study.

But who knew that this Adaptation Officer exam was so mysterious, he couldn't even find a direction to study.

Shaking his head, Lin Luo followed the street and began to “work.”

......

Five hours later.

“Ding, congratulations on unlocking the achievement—Life Mentor.”

Just now, Lin Luo finished his friendly and cordial exchange with the hundredth Ordinary Level Abnormality.

He raised his eyebrows, surprised that he could unlock an achievement just by generating tasks.

Finding a shadowy spot to lean against, Lin Luo assumed a posture of closing his eyes to rest, immersing his consciousness in the system panel.

He decisively touched the text radiating a faint white light with his consciousness.

“Ding! Congratulations on obtaining an achievement reward!”

“Congratulations on obtaining the skill—Listen to Me, and You're Right.”

“Skill Type: Active.”

“Skill Effect: Consumes 1 Spooky Power. For the next minute, it makes it easier for you to persuade other intelligent beings.

The amount of Spooky Power consumed can be increased to enhance the effect. The higher the opponent's relative strength, the worse the effect of this skill.

(Listen to me, you should do this first, then that, and finally this. Understand? If not, I can explain it again.)”

Relative strength refers to the difference in strength between Lin Luo and the opponent; simply put, it can be understood as the difference in Spooky Power.

And this skill also made Lin Luo’s eyes light up.

Although there were various restrictions, if this skill could be perfectly applied at the right time, he believed it would definitely bring rich rewards.

Not bad, these skills were becoming more and more reliable.

This also made Lin Luo look forward to what achievements he would unlock next and what he would gain after unlocking them.

As time passed, the Plain-Class Abnormality, busy all day, gradually began to take public transportation or walk, appearing on the streets.

A mass of white slime was wriggling, seemingly trying to get to a bus stop sign.

Lin Luo’s eyes moved, then a smile curved his lips.

Quietly circling behind the mass of white slime, Lin Luo gently reached out and patted it, finding the texture quite nice.

As a pair of eyes emerged from the surface of the white slime, the mass of white slime trembled violently, seemingly wanting to get away from the place.

“Sir, it’s you. What a coincidence, we meet again.”

“Yes, you left in a hurry last time, and I didn’t even ask your name. What a pity.”

Lin Luo kneaded the mass of white slime, unexpectedly finding it quite stress-relieving.

“Sir, my name is Kaili Ni.

Last time, I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t finished my work and had to go back to work overtime, which is why I left in a hurry.

Sir, how should I address you?”

Kaili Ni hurriedly found an excuse to explain his behavior last time.

At the same time, he secretly cried out his bad luck, he had never seen such an idle Dangerous-Grade Abnormality!

Wandering the streets all day!

Not doing proper work!

“Oh, you can just call me Lin Luo. By the way, you’re waiting for the bus, aren’t you?”

Isn’t this obvious? If I’m not waiting for the bus, am I waiting for you?

But Kaili Ni naturally didn’t dare to say that, so he said tactfully.

“Sir, ever since I met you last time, I have been utterly impressed by your broad-mindedness.

Now every time I take the bus, I wonder if I can meet you again.

And now I’ve actually met you, I’m truly overjoyed.

It’s just a pity, I’m going to a friend’s house, and it’s probably not on your way, so I can’t take the same bus as you.

It’s such a pity! If only I could take the same bus as you, sir!”

“Ding! Plain-Class Abnormality Kaili Ni has issued a task to you:

Fulfill Kaili Ni’s wish and take the same bus as him.

Task completion reward: 50 gray coins, 0.1 Spooky Power, Kaili Ni’s favorability +10.”

Lin Luo’s eyes lit up, and his gaze towards Kaili Ni instantly became friendly.

Finally, he saw a task with Spooky Power again. The tasks he had generated before gave too few rewards, relying entirely on Lin Luo accumulating small amounts.

“Haha, I didn’t expect you to think that way.

Since that’s the case, then let’s take the same bus again and fulfill your wish!”

Lin Luo looked at Kaili Ni, feeling that he must be extremely touched.

It was just a pity that he had no facial features, just a large mass of white slime, so Lin Luo couldn’t appreciate his expression of gratitude.

Huh?

Why did this mass of slime feel a little harder?

Is it an illusion?
