All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 39: Bad News

After completing two tasks before, Su Xin already had some insights into the system tasks.

So far, the three tasks were obviously not very difficult, but their biggest commonality was that they had strange assigned rules.

For example, the first task required him to escape.

He just needed to leave the classroom to meet the condition.

The second task required him to eat an entire animal carcass, which he completed by stuffing a dozen ants while eating bread.

Upon seeing the new task this time, Su Xin immediately had his own understanding of the task requirements.

The so-called different methods in the task were nothing more than acquiring five items from others using various means such as requesting, exchanging, buying, stealing, robbing, or deceiving.

Of course, which specific methods would work still needed to be verified through actual actions.

With the new task triggered, Su Xin was no longer in the mood to chat and was eager to complete the task tonight to awaken a new superpower, so he picked up his phone again to cancel Fang Mengzhu’s invitation.

Just then, Fang Mengzhu had sent a message: "If you really want to, then accompany me properly first. If you make me happy, I’ll stay over at your place tonight / Shy smiley."

Su Xin hesitated for a moment.

But soon, he slapped himself.

Hesitating for a second between a woman and superpowers was really inappropriate, it was simply disrespectful to the Causality Law Superpower.

A woman can accompany you anytime.

The sooner a superpower is awakened, the better.

He typed back, "I do have something relatively important tonight, let’s reschedule for tomorrow."

The chat box showed that the other party was typing.

After a while, the typing indicator disappeared.

Soon it showed typing again.

It took a while before Fang Mengzhu replied, "Alright! / Smiley."

But at this time.

Su Xin had already put his phone back into the desk drawer, continuing to think about the task.

Regarding the five methods required by the task, Su Xin had quickly thought of six methods, seemingly easy to complete, but now upon careful thought, he felt that some methods might not be fundamentally different.

For example, exchanging and buying should essentially be the same, and requesting and robbing should also have no difference in essence.

As for whether his understanding was correct, he would just verify these six methods and find out.

"Both theft and robbery are easier to attempt at night, and it’s just as well I haven’t had any income for a few days, I’ll go out tonight to earn some causality points, and see if there is any organization looking for me."

"Buying is even simpler, just go to a convenience store after school to buy something."

"Then there’s requesting, exchanging, deceiving..."

In thought, Su Xin gently poked the shoulder of the girl sitting in front with his pen, and when she turned around surprised, he leaned forward a bit and whispered:

"Yan Fei, could you give me a pen? Mine’s out of ink, just give me any one."

Yan Fei glanced at the pen in his hand, didn’t say anything, turned back around, and quickly handed Su Xin a pen, "Here, for you."

"Thanks."

Su Xin accepted it.

The system indeed made a ding sound.

The task progress had now become 1/5.

However, Su Xin also knew that for tasks of this type, it was definitely the easiest at the start, as long as you successfully obtained items from others, the task progress would increase no matter the method.

As it progressed, only then there might be situations where methods don’t meet the task requirements.

Completing the first or a few initial ones wasn’t difficult at all.

The key was later on.

"Next, try the exchange method."

Su Xin again poked Yan Fei with his pen.

"Hmm?"

Yan Fei turned around in confusion.

Su Xin leaned over and whispered, "I don’t like red pens, can I exchange it for another color with you? Any color will do."

"But I only have red ones."

"Red is fine too, just exchange it for me."

"..."

Yan Fei gave Su Xin a strange look, secretly thinking, "This playboy, could he have some improper thoughts towards me? Using such a lame excuse to strike up a conversation, if it weren’t for his decent looks, I’d have ignored him long ago."

"Exchange?"

Su Xin asked again.

"Exchange..."

Yan Fei, looking speechless, took another pen and exchanged it back for the one identical to what she just gave Su Xin.

"Thanks."

Su Xin accepted it with a smile.

"Another bit of progress."

"Just three more to go."

"Simple, too simple."

Su Xin couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

"Requesting, exchanging, both methods achieved smoothly, next is... deceiving."

"Such a thing is best done with familiar people, tricking them out of small things can be passed off as a joke, Yan Fei, please don’t blame me, you just happen to be the only classmate around my seat."

Thinking like this, Su Xin hesitated, after all, deceiving was a difficult task, especially trying to trick items from others, it wasn’t easy for non-professionals.

Thinking back and forth, until the bell rang to signal the end of class, Su Xin hadn’t thought of a suitable method.

Seeing the teacher announce the end of the class, and classmates starting to pack up and leave, Su Xin had to temporarily put aside the idea of ’tricking Yan Fei’, waiting to try other methods in the evening.

Packing up the desk.

Took out his phone and walked out.

Just as he was about to put it into his pocket, he noticed a missed call on the screen, simply because the phone was on silent mode during class.

Seeing the caller ID made Su Xin’s heart tighten, after a moment of thought he dialed back.

"Hello, this is Lening Police Station."

"Hello, I saw you just called me, I was in class and missed it."

"Hold on, let me check... Su Xin... are you Su Xin? And your parents’ names are Su Jiwei and Ju Shizhen, right?"

"That’s correct."

"Please come to the morgue in the West District."

Hearing this, Su Xin was suddenly shocked, he couldn’t help but breathe a bit faster, and hurriedly asked:

"What happened?"

What could it be when you’re told to go to a morgue?

The moment Su Xin heard the place name, he guessed it, but just found it unbelievable.

The officer on the other end of the phone knew there was no hiding it from him, so he said directly, "Your parents have been killed, they’re currently in the morgue. We only found your contact information from Kangbo Biotechnology’s family list, please come and take a look to confirm their identities."

"How is that possible?!"

Su Xin couldn’t help shouting, "They were working just fine, they didn’t hold grudges against anyone, how could they suddenly be killed? Absolutely impossible!"

The officer didn’t mind his tone, just sighed lightly and said, "Student Su, I have no reason to deceive you on such matters. Anyway, come to the morgue and you’ll know."

Right.

What sense would it make to lie to him about such a thing.

If it’s true or not, one look will tell.

Su Xin powerlessly slumped down.
