Crash!
Qin Nuo wrung out the mop and pretended to clean the floor beside the old man. His gaze discreetly fell on the open newspaper. Seeing the content, Qin Nuo felt reassured and returned to the bathroom after finishing the cleaning.
After a short while, Qin Nuo came out again and approached the old man. He bent down, also looking at the old man's newspaper, nodding occasionally.
The old man squinted his eyes and rasped, "Young man, are you provoking this old man?"
Qin Nuo quickly replied, "It's a misunderstanding, sir. I noticed the newspaper you're reading is from a few years ago. I have some recent ones here. Would you like to take a look?"
As he spoke, Qin Nuo took out two newspapers and placed them on the table. Although the player's level wasn't high yet and many items in the system store were still locked, some simple things could be purchased.
Delivering newspapers had a simple purpose: to curry favor! Gaining the old man's favorability, the reward of Angel's Kiss was secondary. The main goal was to build a closer relationship with the old man and make Zhang Ya behave herself.
The old man didn't respond or speak. Qin Nuo didn't mind. If the gesture was useful, great; if not, he considered the few ghost currency spent as charity.
With this thought, he turned and entered the room. Inside, Qin Nuo continued pretending to tidy up the sheets, moving to the child's side. While tidying the bedside table, his gaze fell on the boy's gaming console.
Seeing the game screen, Qin Nuo was a bit surprised. IWanna! Of all games, this little brat chose to play this epic torture game. What drove him to such despair?
Qin Nuo himself had been tormented by this game, but fortunately, he only smashed three keyboards and one computer screen. The boy's skills weren't high, stuck at the sixth level. Qin Nuo glanced at the death count, his mouth twitching slightly.
1092 deaths! They say practice makes perfect, but Qin Nuo suddenly felt that using this phrase on the boy was the greatest insult! After 1092 deaths, even a pig should have passed the level, right? How dumb could this kid be? Could it be that he was sent to this hospital because he was too stupid?
What Qin Nuo admired was the boy's extraordinary mental resilience. Despite dying repeatedly, he could calmly start over. The smooth surface of the gaming console showed it hadn't been smashed!
This mindset, Qin Nuo was willing to call it the strongest!
"Brother, are your eyes not good? Do you want me to take them out for you?" the child suddenly spoke, asking in a childish voice while playing the game.
It was clear that Qin Nuo had been staring at the gaming console, and the child was starting to get annoyed.
Qin Nuo cleared his throat and said, "I can play this game a bit too. Seeing you've been stuck for so long, how about I help you pass it?"
The child asked, "Are you very good?"
Qin Nuo touched his nose and smiled slightly, "Not bad."
The little brat suddenly laughed, "Alright then, I'll give you one life. Help me clear all the remaining levels."
Anyway, he had many lives, so why not take a risk!
Qin Nuo stared at the gaming console and sighed, shaking his head.
"Are you giving up, brother? Then I'll have to punish you!" The child's smile was chilling.
Qin Nuo said, "No, what I mean is, you're really bad at this."
The child was stunned, thinking he misheard.
"What did you say?"
"You've died over a thousand times just on the sixth level. Even if you brought in a donkey, after so many deaths, its hooves would randomly step through the level."
"I can't imagine how dumb you must be. Of course, it's not your fault. It might be hereditary from your parents. Your parents must be really dumb!"
The child's ashen face twitched a few times. Zhang Ya also looked over in shock.
Clearly, they didn't expect that at this moment, Qin Nuo wasn't begging for mercy but was brazenly mocking!
Was he in a hurry to court death, rushing to reincarnate?
The child was obviously infuriated, his face growing even grayer, "Yes, big brother is the best."
"Now, one life, clear all the levels. If you die once..."
The child opened his small mouth, revealing a bright red tongue, "Your head will be twisted off and used as my pillow!"
Qin Nuo felt a chill down his spine. At this point, even if a Bodhisattva came, it might not end well.
"Demon's Eye: The host successfully angered the terrifying little ghost, gaining 130 points of malice, and is rewarded with top-tier gaming talent!"
The long-awaited voice finally echoed in his mind. Qin Nuo's eyes lit up. Just like with the old landlord, whatever he needed came. Was the system really manipulating things behind the scenes?
Qin Nuo didn't dwell on it, straightened his back, picked up the gaming console, and smiled lightly, "Actually, I was joking with you earlier. Clearing all levels with one life is basic operation for a normal person!"
"This game is as simple as Tetris, so you know how dumb you are, right?"
The child finally couldn't hold back, gritting his teeth in anger, "Say one more word, and I'll twist your neck right now!"
