Chapter 10

Cough, cough, I'm ten minutes late, but considering I updated five chapters today, I hope everyone can be lenient and forgive me, and give me your collections and recommendations~~~ Old Four thanks you.

Back home, Zhang Jian was still very excited. However, the journey back was not very pleasant. It was still that unlucky taxi, and the driver was really waiting for him at the door.

"Kid, is it a new girlfriend? Don't rush, take it slow. When you first meet, you don't just run to her house. You're too inexperienced. Back in my day, I waited a month before making a move, and it worked out. We got married in three months. Look, it's been over ten years, and our life is sweet."

"Driver, how did you know I just started dating?" Zhang Jian asked in confusion.

"Is that even a question? You paid for the ride, right? She carried her own bag, right? You two walked with some distance between you, right? With all these signs, how could I not know?"

"Driver, your eyes are really sharp!" Zhang Jian said with a smirk.

"That's right..." The talkative driver chattered all the way, and Zhang Jian's ears almost formed calluses after half an hour. Finally, he arrived home and quickly paid and left.

The next day was Monday, and Zhang Jian was still on leave, but others should be at work, so he didn't want to disturb them. As soon as it was time for them to get off work, Zhang Jian hurriedly made a call.

"Hello?"

"Hello, it's me, Zhang Jian. Do you have time after work? I'll treat you to dinner."

"Sorry, I promised to go home for dinner today. I've been very busy lately and might not have time."

"Is that so?" Zhang Jian was a bit disappointed.

"How about Friday night? We can have dinner together," Zheng Lei said.

"Sure, you choose the place, and I'll make the reservation." Zhang Jian immediately perked up.

They chatted a bit more and then hung up. Zhang Jian jumped onto the bed, feeling like laughing out loud.

He went downstairs and bought a bottle of Erguotou and two dishes to go with it. His roommates hadn't been around for a few days, apparently on a business trip.

He drank alone, savoring the happiness of having a girlfriend. Zhang Jian usually didn't drink alone, but he was too excited and felt it wouldn't be as enjoyable without a drink.

Unfortunately, his alcohol tolerance was poor, but he didn't realize it and drank the entire bottle of Erguotou. Lying in bed, he didn't want to think about work and decided to enter the Spirit Gourd space to check things out.

The next morning, Zhang Jian found himself vomiting on the floor and couldn't help but shake his head. What a strange thing, he actually got drunk.

After cleaning up, he felt something was missing. Right, yesterday in the Spirit Gourd space, he seemed to have done something. He quickly entered the space to check.

What the hell! Zhang Jian wanted to cry. Yesterday, he clearly just wanted to check if the tasks were completed, but there were actually five accepted tasks in the task list! Not only did he accept the previous four tasks, but he also accepted a new one that had just refreshed.

1. Earn RMB 500,000 this month, reward: three draws.

2. Find a girlfriend, reward: one draw.

3. Receive praise from over 100 people, reward: two draws.

4. Save a life, reward: three draws.

5. Get a promotion and a raise, reward: two draws.

Zhang Jian felt a thousand horses galloping through his heart. How did he end up accepting all of them? What should he do? Two tasks with three draws, one with two draws, and two with one draw. If he could complete them, it would be great, and the rewards would make him smile. But what if he couldn't?

Previously, the punishment for tasks with one draw was a financial loss, but for tasks with three draws, it was much more difficult.

Zhang Jian categorized the difficulty of tasks into three levels: easy, normal, and difficult. One draw was easy, two draws were normal, and three draws were difficult.

According to the Spirit Gourd, the most severe punishment was the direct elimination of all related characters, along with disabilities, serious illnesses, and so on. It seemed he was in trouble.

Zhang Jian slapped himself hard, blaming himself for drinking. Drinking was one thing, but getting drunk was another, and accepting tasks while drunk was even worse. Now he was in a mess!

To complete the tasks, Zhang Jian went all out. At work, he smiled at everyone, even when others made mistakes, he patiently explained without getting angry or red-faced. After work, he gave up his seat on the bus, bought lollipops for children he met, helped sanitation workers push their carts, and even cleaned the hallway, all to get sincere praise from others.

When he had dinner with Zheng Lei on the weekend, she saw him actively helping an old man cross the road, and she couldn't help but laugh, thinking he was overdoing it.

She didn't know that Zhang Jian wasn't just trying to impress her but was actually trying to get praise from others. After more than a week, he had only received praise from about sixty people, still thirty short of completing the task.

Zheng Lei hadn't agreed to be his girlfriend yet, but they did talk on the phone in the evenings, and their conversations grew longer, from less than a minute to about five minutes. It seemed their relationship was progressing rapidly, and he hoped to make her his girlfriend by the end of the month.

However, Zhang Jian was now somewhat hesitant. If he couldn't complete these tasks, losing money could be managed, and a serious illness might be curable, but what if he was eliminated? What if the most severe punishment was the elimination of related people? He didn't want to ruin others' lives.

This led to a distant relationship between Zhang Jian and Zheng Lei. Even Lin Ming and Jin Ling called him several times, asking what he meant and whether he really wanted to date. Zhang Jian vaguely replied, "Don't worry about it, I'm very busy this month. Next month, I'll make a decision." Lin Ming and Jin Ling didn't know what was going on and asked Zheng Lei, but she was also confused. They had been chatting well a few days ago, but now it felt distant.

All of this finally came to an end, and it strengthened Zhang Jian's resolve to pursue her. For love, cough, and for the tasks (see the first chapter).

Zhang Jian returned home and jumped onto the bed. Wow, I'm rich, I'm rich.

He didn't expect that today, due to a scaffolding collapse, he would be blessed with good fortune and complete three tasks at once. This time, he didn't have to worry about being eliminated; he might just lose some money.

By saving Manager Du's life, he completed the task of saving a life; Manager Du thanked him and promoted him to assistant manager, completing the task of getting a promotion and a raise; by holding up the scaffolding, he saved the lives of the workers, the foreman, the safety officer, the quality inspector, and the project owner, who all praised him, completing the task of receiving praise from over 100 people, with some extra.

Saving a life, reward: three draws; getting a promotion and a raise, reward: two draws; receiving praise from over 100 people, reward: two draws, a total of seven draws. This time, he was sure to get something good. If he could get some valuable treasures, he might even complete the task of earning RMB 500,000 as a side effect.

Fortune is on my side, fortune is on my side! Zhang Jian roared in his heart. Five updates complete, thank you for reading.
