Chapter 121 (2/2)
“mdzz①”, Yuan Zhou could no longer endure the system, thus he spoke these few words with voiced sound.
“Boss, what’s wrong with you?” Mu Xiaoyun looked at Yuan Zhou curiously.
“Nothing. I’m thinking of the new dish,” Yuan Zhou turned around and said earnestly.
“Ok,” Without suspecting anything, Mu Xiaoyun immediately believed that.
Then, Yuan Zhou continued negotiating with the system. All in all, it was really incredible that a nonhuman system would, surprisingly, request to be blessed.
The system displayed, “Host, please complete the mission as soon as possible.”
Yuan Zhou patted his forehead and took out his phone helplessly to check the address. Anyway, the mission needed to be completed.
He could start the journey after lunch time.
Only after checking did he find that he needed to go across the whole city for the three places, which shared one common characteristic. They were particularly far away and difficult to be found.
“It’s really hard for you, this system, to look for these three places, huh?” speechlessly, Yuan Zhou ridiculed the system in his heart.
It seemed that he indeed needed some good efforts to finish this mission within one day; therefore, Yuan Zhou carefully checked the rules and opening times of the temples again.
As soon as the opening hours at noon ended, Yuan Zhou hurriedly shut the door and prepared to go to the temples.
“Master, please drive me to Zhaojue Temple,” upon boarding the cab, Yuan Zhou reported the address to the driver.
“Young man, why are you going to worship Buddha today?” the cab driver thought for a while and asked curiously. It was neither the first lunar day of the month nor the fifth, which was the right day of worshiping the Buddha.
“Yes, I want to get rid of the bad luck surrounding me.” While saying the two words ‘bad luck’, Yuan Zhou couldn’t help grinding his teeth.
“Then you’ll have to. But frankly speaking, there are lesser and lesser young people believing in Buddha. Only on the first and fifth lunar day of each month do people go there the most.” The cab driver was talkative. He said while a smile.
“It’s best to remove the bad luck as soon as possible,” with an earnest expression, Yuan Zhou said as if it were true.
“Ok, don’t worry, young man. We’ll arrive in a little while,” the cab driver turned a corner suddenly while maintaining his smile. As a result, Yuan Zhou tilted his head instantly, causing his head to knock on the doorframe.
“I’m really sorry. A dog suddenly rushed up to the car just now.” The cab driver was still suffering from the shock. He explained to Yuan Zhou repeatedly.
“It’s ok, it’s ok. Let’s hurry up and go to the temple,” Yuan Zhou covered his forehead and said helplessly.
Having just been through that ordeal, the cab driver likewise didn’t dare to say anything more and instead concentrated on driving silently.
“System, did you make that accident?” Yuan Zhou couldn’t help but doubt the system, as it was too much of coincidence.
However, the system didn’t respond to Yuan Zhou’s enquiring; therefore, Yuan Zhou could only massage his forehead speechlessly.
It took only half an hour to get to the temple by cab. At the end, the cab driver even instructed Yuan Zhou, “Young man, do worship the Buddha well.”
These words nevertheless confirmed that Yuan Zhou truly possessed bad luck.
Looking at the towering temple in front of him, Yuan Zhou couldn’t help sighing in silence. How miraculous it was that a nonhuman system liked hearing complimentary words.
It even learned to worship the Buddha. Upon thinking of that, Yuan Zhou became disturbed again.
“Give me a burning joss stick.” Yuan Zhou found the place where burning joss sticks were sold and went up to buy one.
The temple was nevertheless quite grand, with many temple halls inside. After thinking for a while, Yuan Zhou directly went to the main temple hall. He didn’t conform to the proper means of worshiping from outside to inside.
While kowtowing to the ground, Yuan Zhou read silently the words required by the system; otherwise, the kowtow would be in vain.
With three kowtows and nine worship, Yuan Zhou completed the entire ceremony process. After that, he stood up and went outside the main hall before tapping open the mission and began to check the status.
The truth was cruel. There wasn’t any reaction from the mission status.
“It looks not working,” Yuan Zhou then returned to the outermost temple hall and began to worship the Buddha again, as per the formal means of worshiping. After a full one and a half hours, he finally completed the mission.
Yuan Zhou suddenly felt that if he had worshiped the Buddha at the time of the college entrance examination, the score would probably be much better…
mdzz①, it was short for”Oh, shit. This stupid fool.”, as most frequently used on the internet by young people.
