Chapter 3: I'm Willing to Inherit the Legacy and Temporarily Take Care of Tang Jie

Just as Pei Zhao was still in a daze, a mechanical voice similar to Siri suddenly sounded in his ear, "Binding character, Tang Jieshi Shu, a professor in the Department of Law at Qiancheng Central Political and Legal University in a first-tier city, Pei Lv, B-rank: 100."

Pei Zhao: "......"

Who can tell him what just happened? Could it be that he's experiencing auditory hallucinations?

(Player tasks are about to be sent. Players, please be prepared and ensure that each task index is not lower than 0. Otherwise, players will be punished...)

Just as if to prove its existence, the voice of "siri" rang in his ears again, causing Pei Zhao's scalp to tingle.

I swear! Who is speaking in my mind? Has my mind been invaded by aliens? Or have I turned into a hermit crab? Who is the player?

Of course, Pei Zhao did not say it out loud. If he suddenly spoke in front of everyone at this moment, he would certainly be considered crazy and sent to a mental hospital.

Siri paused for a few seconds before responding, "You have entered the game interface of 'Can You Love Me Today'. The player is currently at the initial level. The system has the right to choose whether or not to answer any inquiries made."

I can't believe it, you're so arrogant! You actually have the right to choose whether to answer or not! How dare you act so prideful! Are you related to Long Aotian?!

Alright, let's not say anything more. He finally understands now. He has traveled through time and has caught up with the popular trend among young people - time travel.

He even stepped into the dog-blood novel he had just finished reading, becoming friends with the yandere male supporting character's father in "Can You Love Me Today?"

Just as Pei Zhao was still in a daze, Siri "spoke up" again.

The player has triggered the main storyline quest, and the primary stage quest has been revealed. Location: Testament Reading Meeting Room. Quest: Assist Tang Yinzha with taking care of Tang Jie and receiving the inheritance. Players, please click to accept the quest.

A large game interface appeared before my eyes, just like the sudden emergence of a mission in games such as "Chu Liuxiang" and "Yin Yang Shi".

There were two options above, one was "accept," and the other... damn it, it was still accept!

So our Professor Pei simply ignored this thing and didn't even look at it. He stood up and said to the person next to him, "Excuse me, I am going to the restroom."

He had thought that he could shake off the other party's entanglement, but he never expected that this thing would just keep following him, no matter where he went, it was always right in front of him.

Pei Zhao lifted his hand to pull open the door of the restroom, but as soon as his fingers were lifted, that thing automatically slipped under his finger and proactively made contact with it.

(Task accepted successfully. Please prepare yourself, player, and enjoy your game!)

Pei Zhao was initially stunned, but then suddenly began to roar in the bathroom, "I f*cking your grandfather's dead mother!" Although his voice was low, the anger in it did not diminish in the slightest.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the restroom at this moment. If anyone had seen Pei Lu in this state, they would surely have thought that he was possessed by someone!

"What would happen if I firmly refuse to accept? You just said that the task score cannot be lower than 0, right? If I really score below 0, what kind of punishment will I receive?"

If a player's task index falls below 0 points, their physical body in the real world will die, and they will be forever trapped in the game world.

Pei Zhao only felt a mouthful of old blood trapped in his chest, unable to be coughed out no matter how hard he tried, making him extremely uncomfortable.

(The player is currently in the beginner level and will have restrictions on your party's B-rank and character appearance...)

"Mr. Pei? Are you alright? Professor Pei?"

The voice of "siri" had yet to speak when a sound came from outside the bathroom door. The mechanical voice immediately stopped, swallowing the unfinished second half of the sentence. It wasn't "siri" who felt uncomfortable, but Pei Zhao. His damn compulsive disorder had struck again! This was freaking annoying!

But Pei Zhao had no way to deal with it. The sound at the door started to ring again, and Pei Zhao hurriedly responded, "I'm fine, I'm coming out."

A handsome and refined man emerged from the bathroom and caught a glimpse of his reflection as he passed by a mirror. It revealed a face that could stand out among a group of men, with features as delicate as gentle flowing water, exuding a refined and handsome demeanor.

The appearance was exactly the same as Pei Zhao's, and this frightened Pei Zhao, causing him to take two steps back. Perhaps he had been frightened too much today, and Pei Zhao couldn't accept it. There was a red halo around his eyes, as if he had just finished crying (out of anger). His face turned pale as if he had been shocked by the sudden news (so shocked that he felt like throwing up), and it was difficult for him to accept.

The person in their heart sighed twice, and their admiration for Professor Pei Lv rose to another level. Professor Pei is truly a sentimental person, it's... truly rare. No wonder Mr. Tang Yin decided to leave his immense inheritance to someone like him.

I heard that Professor Pei is a junior and disciple of Mr. Tang. Their relationship is extremely good, it's really...enviable.

"Mr. Pei, are you really okay?"

Pei Lv did not want to speak and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

The group returned to the conference room once again. Pei Lu did not notice that Tang Jie, who was sitting opposite him, had never left his position and had been sitting there all along. However, this time, when Tang Jie raised his head, he had a very sad expression on his face, yet he looked at Pei Lu with a slightly puppy-like and expectant gaze, which made him feel unsettled.

This version of Tang Jie looked completely different from the Tang Jie who had just coldly glanced at him earlier. Pei Lv was just about to soften his heart towards the other side, but immediately hardened it.

Almost forgot, this is a person who is like a time bomb. I almost underestimated him.

"Mr. Pei, the content we just read has concluded. The specific details are now in your hands. May I ask if you are interested in accepting Mr. Tang's inheritance and fulfilling the obligation to assist Mr. Tang Yin in taking care of Tang Jie?"

The lawyer's eyes stared straight at Pei Lu, only to see his lips trembling gently, and even the fingers hanging by his side turned white from exertion.

If he doesn't accept and complete the tasks as instructed, his body will quickly decay, and he will never be able to return to the real world. Although he doesn't have parents, friends, or anyone he can't let go of, he still wants to go back to that familiar place, after all, it's where he has lived for twenty years.

I...I am willing to inherit the inheritance and agree to Mr. Tang Yin's demands.

Just as he agreed, the voice of "Siri" sounded.

(Completing the primary mission earns B-rank +10. From now on, players may freely control the 'Pei Lu' account. Congratulations!)
