Chapter 294 Obedient and Clingy Younger Brother (5)
There was absolutely no hint about how Jin Shuhe lived, or what case he was in that led to his death in the line of duty.
I feel that elementary school students' compositions are much richer in terms of the ins and outs, the introduction, development, transition, and conclusion than this.
Lu Liruan recalled that before entering the mission world, the system had given her a hint that as the host's level increased and the number of missions completed increased, the hints from the original storyline would become less frequent.
This allows the host to have more initiative in modifying the plot, thus enhancing the integration between the host and the mission world.
Lu Liruan didn't take it to heart at the time, but she didn't expect it to be so brief!
Coming back to reality from the original plot, Lu Liruan lay on the bed, not moving for a long time.
I thought to myself that this mission world was really absurd.
The original plot mostly took place after Jin Shuhe came of age, or more specifically, after he started working, but in the current timeline, he is still a minor!
I'm just his...neighbor? What...what can I possibly do? I can't possibly take the lead now, work hard, retake the college entrance exam this year, and get into police academy a year earlier than him.
Then, with unwavering determination and disregard for personal safety, he uncovered the true identity of the serial killer who murdered his mother years ago and brought the villain to justice.
Then she walked gracefully to his side and loudly told him: You don't need to be so strong anymore, because your strength has arrived!
……
Just thinking about it makes Lu Liruan feel like she's crazy.
Even if such an outrageous plan were possible to implement, I simply don't have the ability to do it!
Lu Liruan knew very well that she was a person with little logical thinking and usually acted on her emotions. Asking her to find a way to investigate a serial murder case from many years ago was really... better to wait for the murderer to turn himself in.
Lu Liruan sighed, turned over on the soft bed, and racked her brains trying to figure out what she could do and what role she could play during this time...
Then, Lu Liruan suddenly remembered the cheat system had given her.
The pinnacle of knowledge.
Could it be that my thinking is correct, and that my knowledge peaks in the field of criminal investigation?
Thinking of this, Lu Liruan sprang to her feet and rushed barefoot from the bed to the computer to search for criminal investigation textbooks and books.
I opened the table of contents and began reading carefully, silently chanting to myself, "Peak of knowledge, unfolding of a new realm—"
...I watched too much anime while resting in the system space.
Then Lu Liruan discovered:
I don't understand anything at all~ Hehehe!
It seems I didn't allocate my skill points here.
Since she was already trying, Lu Liruan searched in the fields of literature, politics, history, science and engineering, and even less commonly taught languages.
Then Lu Liruan was confused... Where exactly did I allocate these skill points?
Fully aware that she still couldn't achieve anything remarkable in any particular professional field, Lu Liruan sat cross-legged on the soft, long-haired carpet.
Just as I was about to continue thinking, a loud rumbling sound came from my stomach.
Oh, right, I have another cheat ability! I almost forgot!
The phrase "peak of knowledge" is somewhat abstract, but the phrase "culinary skills" is anything but!
Lu Liruan rushed straight to the kitchen, and it was clear from the kitchen that she was someone who valued the quality of life.
The refrigerator is fully equipped with kitchen utensils, cute tableware, and is packed full of items, all neatly arranged and categorized. Various refrigerator magnets are also pasted on the refrigerator door, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The moment Lu Liruan opened the refrigerator, she clearly felt the power of the cheat system!
She used to be able to cook, but only ordinary home-style dishes. When her health allowed, she would cook for her family to ease their burden, but the food wasn't particularly delicious.
Lu Liruan was well aware of her own abilities.
But now, the moment she sees the ingredients in the refrigerator, a multitude of recipes flash through her mind. She not only knows which ingredients to use for which dish, but upon careful thought, every dish and every step is crystal clear in her mind.
It seems that once you get the hang of it, everything becomes incredibly simple for you, and there are no problems at all...
Holy crap, that's powerful, and the cheat code is so simple and straightforward!
"This kind of cheat code is perfect for a slow learner like me!" Lu Liruan pouted and teased herself.
I checked the time on my phone; it was already 10:30 PM.
Lu Liruan just spent a lot of time understanding the plot of this world.
Although she wanted to eat every dish in her mind, Lu Liruan decided to keep it simple and cook some instant noodles because of the lingering guilt she felt about eating at night.
The moment she picked up the instant noodles, Lu Liruan skillfully boiled water to cook the noodles, chopped vegetables and small sausages, skimmed off the foam, and poached an egg.
Then, as if by instinct, Lu Liruan knew exactly when to turn off the heat and scoop out the noodles.
In the white porcelain bowl, the noodles seemed to gleam, with fresh green vegetable leaves, blanched and peeled tomatoes, and a perfectly poached egg with a runny yolk when poked with chopsticks.
Lu Liruan took a bite, and her eyes widened immediately!
Although it might seem like she's never seen anything like it, Lu Liruan insisted on saying loudly: This is the best instant noodles she's ever eaten! How can instant noodles be so delicious!
Lu Liruan stared wide-eyed at the bowl of noodles, feeling as if... she had been possessed by something and made it.
Eating is happiness, and eating delicious food is even more happiness!
After finishing the entire bowl of noodles, Lu Liruan's mind went blank, and she slumped onto the bed in a daze.
Oh well, it's still many years before Jin Shuhe gets into trouble...
Let's go to sleep first tonight.
Lu Liruan staggered off to wash up, then happily collapsed and fell into a deep sleep.
I slept very well, and when I woke up again it was already past ten in the morning.
Before I even opened my eyes, I heard a "whooshing" sound. The curtains weren't drawn last night, but there wasn't a single ray of light.
The sky outside was overcast and gray. Large raindrops pelted the vines climbing the outer wall, making them tremble. The leaves, covered in dust and dark, were washed clean and glossy green.
The old house has a small, protruding balcony outside the window, fitted with security bars that are covered in reddish-brown rust stains from years of use.
It has a slightly old-fashioned feel, quite different from the cozy interior of the house, which makes those inside feel even warmer and happier.
In early May, the weather in the north is neither too hot nor too cold. The rain falls on the ground, and the fresh, slightly fishy smell of the soil, along with the scent of wild grass about to sprout, makes people feel extremely comfortable.
The curtains fluttered, and Lu Liruan, who had intended to doze off a little longer, was awakened by a series of notification sounds from her phone.
When Lu Liruan opened the message, she found that most of them were messages from the software's backend.
Lu Liruan mainly uses two apps: Lemon Video Live and Weibo. She has more followers on Lemon, and her videos recently became popular, bringing her followers to nearly 400,000.
Most of the recent comments are about Cui Geng:
"Wake up! People more talented than you are already working hard. Are you still sleeping?"
Blogger Sugar Pear replied: "If people more talented than me are already working hard, what's the point of my efforts? I might as well lie down and sleep!"
"It's been seventeen days since Sugar Pear left us. I miss her."
Blogger Sugar Pear replied: "Watch the video for 60 seconds to help revive the blogger!"
"Judging from the fact that Lili hasn't filmed any rant videos for so many days, life after quitting her job must be really comfortable..."
Blogger Sugar Pear replied: "I'm already so comfortable that I'm undergoing plasmolysis!"
Lu Liruan's video style mainly focuses on recording her own life. Whether it's a vlog or a review video, they are all very interesting.
Her voice was gentle and soft, with a noticeable northern accent. Her words were humorous and sharp, and her video editing was quite skillful, showcasing her unique style.
This is how fans promoted the video to new viewers:
You won't regret clicking! Welcome to watch Lin Daiyu uprooting the willow tree!
This meme originated from Lu Liruan's complaint that when she was working at the company, the water dispenser in the office ran out of water, and everyone would rather let the instant coffee powder just lie dry in the cup than take the initiative to change the water bottle!
"Whenever the water dispenser is empty, that's when the undercurrents in the office are at their most intense!"
"The atmosphere was tense with a hint of cunning. Everyone was trying to gauge the other's conscience and drought tolerance. The person who changed the water last time stood tall and proud, while the person who had been reaping the benefits all along was timid and shifty-eyed!"
Underneath the video of her rant, someone retorted: "In the time you've been ranting, you could have already changed all the water. What, are you some kind of office fairy who everyone has to serve?"
Blogger Sugar Pear replied: "I'm the one who changed the water last time, standing tall and self-righteous."
"Stop bragging. You fairies can't even lift a bucket of water? If you're asking for a favor, you need to have the right attitude. Say a few sweet words to your male colleagues in the office, and maybe they'll help you get it replaced (doge)."
"Ha, why do you say girls don't have the strength to change the water? My office is full of petty men like you, and you all talk about changing the water as if you've won an Olympic weightlifting championship!"
"I wasn't talking about anyone else, I was talking about the blogger. Don't brag, little fairy~ (doge emoji)"
Blogger Sugar Pear: Although everyone says not to fall into the self-proving trap, I admit that I am very susceptible to being provoked.
After Lu Liruan took a screenshot of this comment, she posted a video the next evening: At 6:00 a.m. on Monday, before the cleaning lady arrived at work, a furtive woman with a bun hairstyle and wearing a mask sneaked into the office building.
They replaced all the water dispensers in their company, from the boss's room to the break room, with new bottled water.
Most of the company's employees have weekends off. After get off work on Friday, the cleaning lady will take the water dispenser's water tank down, wipe the machine, and disinfect the filter inside to ensure the drinking water is clean.
When Monday came, the employees in each office replaced the water buckets themselves, which was the main reason for Lu Liruan's complaints...
With her height of just over 1.6 meters and slender arms, Lu Liruan's posture of carrying sixteen large water buckets was rather exaggerated and imposing.
Around eight o'clock, after people from all over the company gradually arrived at work, voices could be heard from almost every office: "Who changed the water buckets so early today?"
Colleague A: It seems the water in all the offices has been changed.
Colleague B: Oh my god! A water bucket!
The video ended abruptly and absurdly with this praise that consisted of only sound and no visuals.
Comments section: "Even when I go back to my hometown to pull up scallions, it's not as easy as you carrying a bucket of water."
"My goodness! Lin Daiyu uprooting the willow tree has become a reality in this moment..."
Lu Liruan specifically tagged the account that posted that comment.
The account stubbornly tried to stand on moral high ground to condemn Lu Liruan.
"We're all colleagues in the same company and office, why are you being so petty? You're such a narrow-minded girl (doge emoji)."
Blogger Sugar Pear replied: "No way, I'm meticulous about every little thing at the company. Even if I use one less piece of toilet paper than others when I'm on paid leave to poop, I'll feel so uncomfortable that I can't sleep at night."
Then this sentence was screenshotted and forwarded wildly, and Lu Liruan's video stayed on the trending list for a week.
I gained nearly 10,000 followers.
As a result, Lu Liruan's video revenue increased significantly, the only drawback being:
For a period of time, many people couldn't remember her name and would use the nickname "Sister Poop" instead.
Lu Liruan: ...
I can endure anything for money.
In fact, many comments are right. Since leaving her job, Lu Liruan has been living a very comfortable life.
The only few videos that were updated were all related to renovating an old house.
Because of its age, the old house felt gloomy and oppressive inside. When Lu Liruan went in, she felt almost no sense of familiarity with it from her childhood.
Before the renovation, Lu Liruan called her parents and said with some regret and sadness that even though the house had become like this, she was still reluctant to make any changes.
“Your grandparents gave you the house hoping you would have a better life. Your childhood memories are still in your heart. Even if the house hasn’t changed at all, you will still feel that it’s different from before.”
“Don’t be reluctant. The old house in your heart is the real old house, and the way you want to decorate it is your own house…” Mr. Lu’s gentle voice came to Lu Liruan’s ears through the receiver.
Following behind, Lu's mother chimed in, "Is there enough money? If not, Mom will sponsor you some!"
Lu Liruan then made up her mind to completely remodel the car according to her own wishes.
As a graduate of the directing department, Lu Liruan has a clearer aesthetic sense.
Her own bedroom uses bold and warm colors, but they look very harmonious when put together, creating a cozy, creamy fairytale style that isn't childish at all.
The living room and another room, with their matching colors, are also eye-catching, but they don't have the same distinctive style as my own bedroom.
Compared to the old and outdated decor, opening the door now makes you feel refreshed and relaxed.
This series of well-organized and heartwarming videos garnered a considerable number of views. Lu Liruan also took on some business deals for interior decorations and small furniture, saving a lot of money each time while earning a profit. In essence, she spent almost no money on renovations.
Lu Liruan was completely satisfied...
