Chapter 2: Xiao Sao's Happiness and Depression

  Tang Xiao was filling out his detailed information according to the requirements on the computer screen. Although he was a bit puzzled, the "hacker" + "swindler" he encountered seemed to be a little different, but Tang Xiao didn't mind because he was just a poor D silk, so until -

  "Huh? There's still this problem?" He was filling it out, when he suddenly froze. Because what had entered his line of sight were two questions -

  What makes you happiest?

  What's your most painful thing?

  To be honest, human life is not always happy or always painful! Even the most joyful life has moments of sadness and suffering; while no matter how difficult life is, you can still see a glimmer of rainbow. More or less.

  But what about the happiest and most painful?

  "It seems like I don't have much to be happy about?" Tang Xiao thought subconsciously for a moment, and then surprisingly found that he didn't have anything worth being overjoyed about. Hmm, if his whole family was currently alive and doing alright, then that would be the only thing that could be considered "very happy".

  Tang Xiao Sa is the eldest of four, with a younger brother two years his junior named Tang An who is currently in third grade in rural areas. However, he doesn't seem to have much talent for studying and spends all day thinking about video games. His teachers at school don't care, and his grandparents in the countryside can't control him either. Tang Xiao Sa has asserted that his brother probably won't even attend high school. Above him, he also has his grandparents and great-grandparents who are still alive, so from a family perspective, he is indeed quite fortunate.

  "Hmm, and if I add one more thing, that would be my brother's body is as weak as a bean sprout, but his immune system is not bad, he hasn't taken many medicines since childhood, this can also be considered good news?" Tang Xiao said to himself, and then added another item - physical health.

  And then this "most painful thing", Tang Xiao Sao almost didn't need to think about it, and directly went crazy with both hands.

  "My brother is not a tall and strong man, not a martial arts master, does not speak nine foreign languages, is not as handsome as Wah Zai, has no chest muscles or abdominal muscles, cannot memorize things at a glance, is not eloquent, cannot play the piano or guitar, and does not have the courage of a bear or a leopard..."

  Tang Xiao was crazily typing on the keyboard, and slowly, he almost forgot that he was talking to a "hacker" + scammer. Because, he had long been fed up with this kind of life now.

  They say that useless people always complain about the hardships of life and the injustice of fate. This is clearly evident in him. However, Tang Xiao didn't care about all that, he stopped his hand and thought for a moment, then typed another line: "I'm not far from surpassing the black ghost's throwing stick!"

  He took a slight breath, looked around and thought to himself: "Luckily no one saw that, or I'd be laughed to death?" Tang Xiao thought for a moment before immediately clicking "next step", afraid of being seen by someone. Although he firmly believed that many men must have had similar dreams.

  "The system has received all the specific information of player Tang Xiao, and is currently evaluating your sincerity and potential value. Please wait for a moment!" The electronic voice that seemed to come from the earpiece rang out again, making Tang Xiao wake up from his inexplicable emotions just now. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking at the screen with disdain and sneering: "Deceived my feelings, actually playing high-tech, evaluating you M...!"

  His foul language had not yet been spoken, when the screen in front of him suddenly went black, and then lit up again in the blink of an eye. Before Tang Xiao could look at the monitor in surprise, the voice sounded again: "According to the system evaluation, player Tang Xiao's sincerity: 98, potential value: 40, two-word evaluation: waste material!"

  "Damn it, I'm going to kill you!" Tang Xiao was so angry with this crappy evaluation report that he almost burst out cursing. Although he had long been aware of his own limitations and knew that even if he repeated his third year of high school for two more years, he still wouldn't be able to get into a mediocre third-tier university, but come on, being called "trash" was just too disgusting! Couldn't they have put it more tactfully? More hypocritically? What normal man with an IQ above room temperature would like this kind of evaluation?!

  "Trash and not dare to face reality, potential value - 5!" The electronic voice sounded again: "Please player learn to be brave, and start choosing your favorite profession. Note that each player can choose up to three professions, and this system does not recommend players to choose multiple."

  "Damn it!" This voice almost made Xiao Sao smash his keyboard, but he calmed down and didn't do so. He suddenly realized that he was being foolish, was he worth getting angry over a broken hack? He picked up the mouse again and clicked on the "Career" tab. If you want to play, play to the end. In real life, I can't even play, how can I not dare to open my heart online? As for this so-called "system suggestion", Tang Xiao Sao didn't take it to heart at all. Who's stupid enough to listen to a system warning?

  And this was Xiao Ge's most frustrating decision afterwards.

  The page is quite clean, and I have to admit that this hacker really has some skills. All I see from top to bottom are various occupations, such as: farmers, workers, teachers, businessmen, public security officials, soldiers, athletes... and so on, at least several dozen types. Moreover, what makes Xiao Sao admire even more is that many occupations have sub-occupations behind them, such as the highest state of a farmer being a large farm owner, a worker being a chief engineer, a teacher being an educator... anyway, it's dazzling to look at, and I don't know how to check.

  "Anyway, it's just something to do for fun, so let's make it cooler!" Xiaosha Ge never liked thinking too much, so he didn't look carefully and directly checked the main occupation.

  "What about farmers, workers and the like? And teachers and public security... " He muttered to himself as he selected, hesitating for a moment on the military option before clicking confirm, but when he saw the "martial artist" option, he immediately abandoned his original plan and decisively confirmed the first choice.

  He confirmed one and added two more. Tang Xiao rubbed his eyes, which were a bit sour from being online for too long, and decided to speed up the process so he could settle the bill early and take a bus back home to pack his luggage. Therefore, he directly checked the boxes next to "actor" and "singer", then clicked confirm.

  "System Warning: After testing, Tang Xiao's martial arts talent is 65, acting talent is 45, and singing talent is 65. The comprehensive evaluation of the game difficulty is 98, which seriously exceeds the target range of the player. Are you sure about all your choices? If so, please confirm again..."

  "Old man, I'm sure, it's really JB nonsense!" Before the "System Warning" could finish speaking, Tang Xiao directly clicked confirm again. Although this game has a difficulty level of 98, which seems very intimidating, but who cares? It's all fake anyway! Whoever worries about it is an idiot.

  Then he found it was simply a tragedy ——

  "This time I'm dead for sure!" Tang Xiao Sau had just confirmed when his body went numb and everything in front of him turned black.

  P.S: It's going slowly, but I'm writing with great care. I must create a different story. Seeking all kinds of help!
