Chapter 17 A Little Angel Descends to the Toilet
"Want to be a child again, right? No problem! You're allowed to be willful this time, after all, I'm a kind and helpful free spirit!"
The Free Ghost shook his head, picked up the card, and injected a stream of energy into it.
Ding.
The handwriting on the ID tag changed from initially being random to "random child".
He handed it to the dumbfounded Yang Lan, then slumped into a chair, panting heavily.
Its body has changed from being solid to being semi-transparent.
It seems that forcibly changing his identity took him a lot of effort.
"Really... really?"
Yang Lan was immediately filled with both regret and excitement.
She had just opened her mouth when she was actually testing the ghost's limits, trying to extract benefits from it.
In a word.
He really gave it to me?
There's probably something fishy going on inside.
I should have suggested an even more outrageous identity that would have been more advantageous for me to pass the game.
"Modifying the game rules set by the administrator has already consumed a huge amount of my energy. As a price, you will have the same identity in every reincarnation from now on."
Yang Lan nodded.
They're the same, so there's nothing wrong with them...
Immediately afterward, Free Ghost said with a dark face, "Just now, the instance administrator discovered my violation. She was very angry, so she deducted 30,000 dollars from your initial assets."
"As compensation, I'll add an extra reward for you: for every month you survive in this cycle, you'll receive a $3 personal asset reward."
Free Ghost thoughtfully added.
Yang Lan's current clearance amount is $12, with 10 months remaining.
With a monthly income of $3, and children not costing their parents much money, they could live very well in this beautiful, distorted society maliciously created by designers.
It doesn't sound difficult.
Children are better off with their parents taking care of them than with her alone.
"Thank you, Free Spirit. Even though you are a ghost, you have a warm heart, more like a human than other ghosts."
After confirming several times that there were no traps in the updated rules, Yang Lan accepted the identity card with great interest.
Believing herself to be exceptionally intelligent and capable of making perfect plans, she decisively chose one of the cards to activate.
[Central area, random child]
After two months of living and working in Liberty City, Yang Lan gained some understanding of the city, as the central district has the most universities and research institutes.
It has complete infrastructure and high per capita income.
Becoming a child here means enjoying a fun and safe learning experience!
I, Yang Lan, am simply a genius.
Once the countdown to rebirth ended, Yang Lan activated her identity without hesitation, transformed into a beam of light, and disappeared on the spot.
Only then did the Free Spirit return to its original form, showing no signs of overexertion.
"Hehehehe!"
"Just as the master predicted, they walked right into the trap. Hilarious!"
The Free Nation was previously wondering how they could get the other party to voluntarily or semi-voluntarily relinquish the [Property Reset] mechanism through benefits.
After experiencing the Yang Lan incident, it seems that it suddenly grasped the knack.
The mechanism to disqualify participants from having their assets reset is very easy.
It's a dungeon-exclusive monster, almost a "god" in kill-line dungeons.
However, it would be very difficult for it to make the participants grateful and thus strip it of its inherent rights, just like the confession of a criminal.
Now, the opportunity has arrived.
At first, the Free Ghost did not understand why the wandering executioner's attitude had suddenly changed.
Only after its owner explained it did it realize what a child meant in the world of beauty.
The free spirit laughed, arrogant and unrestrained.
At that moment, a whole new door opened in its mind, and the Free Ghost seemed to understand the real reason why its master did not allow killing humans in the dungeon.
"Since she insists on choosing children, then let her choose the ultimate children's world—all of them should be 'infants,' I want newborns!"
"Not only do we have to choose newborns for him, but we also have to keep giving him random children until she's terrified of dying!"
The free spirit asked timidly.
Shouldn't infants have the best possible survival guarantees?
During this period, Free Ghost crammed a lot of knowledge about Beauty Cards and came to a similar conclusion as Yang Lan.
"Don't just look at what the book says, look at what it doesn't say, and why it says it that way."
"I'll tell you the truth. The reason we specifically arranged for her to be born in university is because that's where the mortality rate is the highest."
"what?"
The free spirit shuddered.
Can you do this?
Soon, the large screen lit up, and Yang Lan re-entered the instance with a new identity.
I opened my eyes and saw a dim, yellowish old lamp flickering in my field of vision, with a few insects buzzing under it.
Huh?
Something's wrong with the light bulb overhead; it's so high and so far away.
Why are there so many graffiti on this door? It looks like a public restroom.
Also, why does this place smell so bad? And why are there flies buzzing around my head?
Didn't I choose to become a child? What's going on?
She tried to move her hands and feet, and after a few breaths, she discovered a terrible truth.
She was indeed reborn as a child.
But what she found even more incomprehensible and unacceptable was that she had been reborn as a baby...
Her birthplace in this playthrough is the toilet.
Yang Lan was stunned.
Such bad luck, becoming a helpless baby.
In China, babies are the apple of their mothers' eyes. Shouldn't they be cherished by the whole family in Mirka?
Instantly, Yang Lan's underlying logic was triggered.
I get it now. It must be an evil designer deliberately distorting and uglifying it. The real Meghan Markle isn't like that.
Sensing something was wrong, Yang Lan immediately used her baby killer move: crying.
soon.
The crying attracted a young white woman.
Judging from her clothes and appearance, she was a college student. She rushed into the restroom looking anxious and came to Yang Lan.
He shushed them.
"I told you not to cry!"
"Wouldn't it be better to just stay here quietly?"
"It was already so hard for me to give birth to you, and I don't want to be a burden to you anymore."
After hearing this, Yang Lan cried even harder.
Look at yourself, are you even speaking human language?
I'm your biological child now. How could you leave me in the toilet?
However, Yang Lan still overestimated the other party.
Hearing Yang Lan cry even louder, Bai Nu gritted her teeth and took out a small pink pill from her pocket.
He looked down at Yang Lan, then looked up at the small pills.
The woman repeated the two movements three times, took a deep breath, and didn't hesitate any longer.
With one hand, he pried open Yang Lan's small mouth and stuffed the pill into it.
Waaah!
"Don't blame your mother for being heartless."
"You're just a baby, and Mommy is still in college. The 17% interest rate on student loans is already suffocating me, and now you're here too."
"I simply cannot afford to raise a child."
"As a child, you can just cry, but as a mother, I have to think about so many things."
As she spoke, the woman closed her eyes, bowed her head, clasped her hands together, and prayed to the heavens.
"I believe that by doing this, Almighty God will surely forgive me!"
He kept repeating the same sentence.
As I was talking, a wave of drowsiness washed over me.
Yang Lan stopped crying.
Unable to move, she slowly closed her eyes, gradually losing control of her body.
Just how ruthless must Bai Nu be? What kind of poison has she given herself?
Is she going to say goodbye to this world right after she was born?
No, please don't.
