Chapter 2

Holding the ruler, Miaocuihua grabbed it and, with Fang De behind her, winked at Fang Shiyu and Fang Xiaoyu, saying, "You two unfilial sons, if you can't recite the university lessons, can you at least recite the timeless poetry like 'Spring Sleep Unaware of Dawn, Everywhere the Cock Crows'?"

Fang Xiaoyu ran out with Fang Shiyu, both of them in a panic, while covering their chests like Fang De.

Before escaping, Fang Xiaoyu clearly saw Fang De's face twist after hearing the timeless poetry recited by Miaocuihua. His chest seemed to heave even more, and Fang Xiaoyu was truly worried that Fang De might be angered to death.

Especially when the little fatty Fang Shiyu giggled, "Spring Sleep Unaware of Dawn, Everywhere the Cock Crows..."

"Ahh, Miaocuihua, Fang Shiyu, Fang Xiaoyu, you three are going to kill me with anger!"

Fang De, as if possessed by a war god, snatched the ruler and chased after the three, forgetting his scholarly demeanor.

In the living room, the fragrant food made the three drool, but at this moment, Fang Xiaoyu and the others stood there, sniffing the aroma and swallowing their saliva, while Fang De glared at them and said, "I'll let you off this time, but if it happens again, no food for you!"

"Wow, we can eat now!"

Fang Shiyu did a somersault and pounced on a stool. Before Fang Xiaoyu could react, Miaocuihua huffed, stepped forward, and with one foot, hooked the stool, making it land steadily behind her. She sat down, crossed her legs, and looked smug.

But at this moment, Fang De frowned and hummed.

Miaocuihua, who had been smug a moment ago, quickly put her legs down, kept them together, lowered her head, and blushed, acting like a dignified and virtuous lady, eating rice in small bites and occasionally serving Fang De.

As for Fang Xiaoyu and Fang Shiyu, they squatted and ate in a horse stance.

Fang Xiaoyu was surprised to see Fang Shiyu squatting steadily, as if there was a real stool under his buttocks.

In just a short while, he felt his legs tremble and ache, while the little fatty next to him was enjoying himself, almost burying his face in the bowl to eat.

With a clatter, Fang De put down his bowl, looked at the three, and got up leisurely, hands behind his back, saying, "I'm done, you continue."

Miaocuihua, like a love-struck girl, looked at Fang De with affectionate eyes and said, "Sir, walk slowly!"

Fang Xiaoyu shivered at the sight. Watching movies was one thing, but being in this situation, he deeply sympathized with his nominal father, wondering how he could endure it.

With a slap, Fang Xiaoyu felt a pain on his buttocks. Miaocuihua, transformed into a shrew, put her hands on her hips, stepped on the stool, and shouted at Fang Xiaoyu, "You brat, you can't even do a horse stance properly, what do you expect to achieve by entering Shaolin!"

Fang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly. Although his body had been rejuvenated by the system, he wasn't like Fang Shiyu, who had grown up soaking in medicinal water. Fortunately, he was now only ten years old; otherwise, if the system had thrown his original self into this world, he would have been done for.

Although scolded, Fang Xiaoyu knew Miaocuihua was doing it for his own good and ate silently.

Outside was pitch black, and in the small room, Fang Xiaoyu lay in bed, listening to Fang Shiyu's deep breathing, feeling as if he were in a dream.

An orphan, he had grown up near the film set, so he was most familiar with the film industry. He had run errands, done small jobs, and finally, at the age of twenty-three, joined a production crew as an anonymous prop master.

But an accident on set, where he failed to save a goddess by diving into the water, cost him his life, only to activate a mysterious film system.

Suddenly, Fang Xiaoyu remembered something and called out to the film system in his mind. Soon, a bright light appeared in his mind.

Seeing the bright light, Fang Xiaoyu knew it was the mysterious film system.

"System, can I return to my world?"

"Beep, the host can return upon completing tasks!"

Fang Xiaoyu's spirit was lifted, and he frowned slightly, saying, "What tasks do I need to complete?"

"Beep, the host has triggered a world task, now issuing the task."

Task One: Kill the Nine-Gate Inspector and save Fang De.

Task Two: Obtain the Nine-Dragon Seal.

Fang Xiaoyu pondered. In the original plot, Fang De, a member of the Red Flower Society, was captured by the Nine-Gate Inspector due to a leak of the membership list. Later, Fang Shiyu killed the Nine-Gate Inspector and saved Fang De. During this time, Fang Shiyu entered the Lei family and caused a lot of trouble.

If things went as planned, the Nine-Gate Inspector would definitely die, but according to the original plot, he would die at the hands of Fang Shiyu. However, the system required Fang Xiaoyu to kill the Nine-Gate Inspector himself.

As for the second task, obtaining the Nine-Dragon Seal was no easier than fighting E'erduo.

The Nine-Dragon Seal was the personal seal of Emperor Qianlong. The difficulty of obtaining it was unimaginable.

In short, the two tasks didn't seem too difficult and didn't seem to be pushing Fang Xiaoyu to the brink, but upon closer inspection, to complete these tasks, Fang Xiaoyu would need to have a high level of martial arts proficiency. Otherwise, if he couldn't even beat Fang Shiyu, he wouldn't be able to complete either task.

"Hey, if I can't complete the tasks, will I be erased?"

"Beep, the system only has the ability to assist the host in traversing movie worlds, issuing tasks, and rewarding. It does not have the ability to erase the host!"

"Phew, that really scared me. I thought I would be erased if I couldn't complete the tasks! By the way, what will happen if I can't complete the tasks?"

"Beep, if the host cannot complete the tasks, the system will go into hibernation until the host dies in this world, and then it will seek the next host!"

"What? If I can't complete the tasks, I'll die of old age in this world? If that's the case, wouldn't I be wasting such a magical system?"

Learning that the system couldn't erase the host, Fang Xiaoyu became excited and said, "System, you're so powerful, can you make me travel from the North Sea to the South Sea, fly through the sky, and live forever?"

Fang Xiaoyu's face was full of anticipation as he fantasized about a beautiful future.

"Beep, the system does not have this ability!"

Fang Xiaoyu's face fell, and he said disdainfully, "What a lousy system, you can't even do that..."

But before he could finish, the system continued, "The system only assists the host in traversing movie worlds. Whether the host can achieve the ability to destroy the world and live forever depends on the host's destiny."

"Ha ha, what a good system! You should have said that earlier. If getting a system doesn't lead to immortality, it would be a laughing matter. By the way, when the time comes, I'll directly traverse to the world of Pirates of the Caribbean and take the Fountain of Youth..."

"Beep, after detection, this is a fantasy world. The probability of the system traversing such a world is one percent!"

Fang Xiaoyu's laughter stopped abruptly, and he was stunned for a moment. But he quickly said, "No problem, it's just a low probability, not impossible. We have plenty of fantasy and immortal stories in the East, can't we find a way to immortality?"

"Beep, the new player guide is complete, tasks issued. The system will hibernate until the tasks are completed..."

Fang Xiaoyu was startled and kept calling out to the system, but this time, the system had no response. Finally, Fang Xiaoyu gave up and fell into a deep sleep.
