Balcony balcony.

Relying against the railing, Hao Yun held his cell phone and was talking on the phone at home.

"How is it? The first day of school?"

Difficult to do...

Hao Yun originally wanted to say this, but he was afraid that his father was worried, and even more afraid that he could not explain clearly, so he was arranged to go to a neurological hospital, so he sighed and said.

"It's pretty good, everything is fine."

It was this supper, I didn’t have enough to eat.

"Where is the roommate? How is the relationship?"

"It's okay, except for me, everyone in our dormitory is full of talents."

The other end of the phone was silent for a while.

After a long time, my father continued to speak.

"What about living expenses? Is 800 yuan enough?"

"I'll think of a way to do a part-time job or something if not."

"You still focus on learning and don't have enough living expenses to tell me."

Hao Yun smiled and refused, "No, I can do it myself, and I'm not that busy in my freshman year. It's better to find some work to exercise myself, it's better than playing games in the dormitory."

Dad was silent for a while.

"Then take good care of yourself... Do you want to chat with your mom for a while? She just went for a walk and it's time to come back now,"

"Tomorrow night, I'm so tired today. I'll go to bed after taking a shower. I'll say hello to my mother. I'll have a hang up first."

After hanging up the phone, Hao Yun took a deep breath, slowly exhaled it outside the balcony, then closed his eyes and began to think about the previous feeling.

When he just returned to the dormitory, he was thinking about what happened to him today. As a result, he was interrupted by a call from his father.

Recalling his previous feelings, he tentatively recited the "system" in his heart.

Just as he felt that his behavior was so stupid and opened his eyes, lines of blue light and shadow like AR projections instantly replaced the deep night, projecting into his pupils that were enlarged due to surprise.

[Host: Hao Yun (soul binding, cannot be released)]

【Talent: Good Luck (0)】

[Properties: Locked, unlocked after completing the novice task]

What the hell?

Does this plug-in have to wait until the novice task is completed before it can be received?

Or is it that I am still in the probation period, and the so-called novice task is a test for myself?

Looking at the attribute panel that was unfolding in front of him with laughter, Hao Yun tentatively stretched out his index finger and selected the "good luck" in the talent column.

Almost at the same time, a line of illustrator popped out from the right side of the icon.

[Good Luck (0): As long as you accumulate good deeds and achieve virtue, may something good happen?]

Hao Yun:...

What is the difference between this line of explanation and nonsense?

Why is the tone of questioning?

However, thinking that the "potential value" of his talent was 0 anyway, Hao Yun no longer wondered whether this talent was useful, so he selected the question mark in the upper right corner of the system.

As he expected, a dialog box similar to the "user notification letter" was quickly presented to him.

[Welcome to use the Alien System.]

[Note: Once this system is bound, it will not be returned or exchanged, and it cannot be given up.]

Hao Yun:...

It's okay not to return or exchange.

When you were bound, you didn’t ask me if I agreed or not?

However, he thought that if he really wanted to choose, he would probably not choose to give up, so he skipped the nonsense and continued to read.

[Instructions for use: This system will give the host insight beyond cause and effect according to the user agreement, and can discover the "experts" hidden in the crowd and their potential values ​​corresponding to their talents.]

[The potential value is greater than 5, which means that the goal will develop according to the current life trajectory and have the opportunity to achieve "extraordinary" or above. If it is greater than 7, it means that there is a chance to achieve "epic" or above, while if it is greater than 10, it may be left in history. If it is lower than 1, it will not be able to be seen. If it is a question mark, there are still major variables and need to be further observed.]

[The potential value corresponds to talent, and only represents potential in the sense of probability. It is the quantitative result obtained by the analysis of the causal tree graph system, and has nothing to do with the actual ability of the target and the current actual conditions.]

[Most tasks created by this system will revolve around this logic, and the triggering method is directly related to the target's desire to realize its ambition. A single target can only trigger one task at the same time, and different targets are not restricted. Once the task is triggered, the host can choose whether to complete it by himself. The task reward will also be evaluated based on multiple dimensions such as the target potential value, task difficulty, and the host's causal participation.]

[Once the task fails, it will not have a direct negative impact on the host himself, but the same target will not even be able to trigger the task again for a certain period of time.]

[In addition, unlike talent, the system will specially customize the personalized attribute bar exclusive to the host, corresponding to the learning talent of specific projects, so as to help the host quickly master more practical skills, and more content will be explained in detail after the novice gift package is unlocked.]

[For user agreement, this system reserves the right of final interpretation.]

[Remember, the cycle of cause and effect has begun.]

【Achieve others is also equivalent to achieving oneself.】

So the attribute bar is locked because I don’t have any talent?

It turns out that this system is quite good at taking care of people...

But this is too confusing!

What makes Hao Yun the most headache is what if the novice fails the mission?

Should I trigger one again, or should the system close the door to him forever?

To be honest, he felt that the former was more likely, but he really didn't dare to bet on this uncertain probability.

After all, it’s not good to win, but losing a bet will be a loss.

As the system was broken, Hao Yun was about to shut down the system and think about how to complete the tasks assigned by the system.

But at this moment, a line suddenly popped up at the end of the explanatory text.

[Considering that the host has used this system for the first time and does not yet understand the concept of cause and effect, he specially gave a "Cause and Effect" certificate for trial only.]

The proof of cause and effect?

After a moment of silence, Hao Yun looked at the bottom of the property bar, and indeed a line of icons marked as [Props] were added.

[Cause and effect (one-time prop): After triggering, cause and effect can be reversed in a short time, and it will be impossible to be possible. But please note that cause and effect are rewarded, and what is requested is equivalent exchange. Moreover, the things that can be requested must follow the path of causal cycle. Cause and effect will not be responded to for things that cannot be achieved no matter what or cost cannot be repaid.]

What does reversal of cause and effect mean?

After repeatedly pondering this sentence several times, Hao Yun fell into deep thought.

"Cause and effect are rewarded... that is, if you ask for cause and effect, you will also be subject to equivalent revenge from cause and effect?"

For example, if you make a wish to win a lottery of 1 million, but you immediately get a car accident after winning the prize, losing hundreds of thousands and health in a blink of an eye?

As for what you seek, you must follow the path of causal cycle, and things that cannot be made and things that cannot be fulfilled at the expense of the price that cannot be repaid...

It’s probably a 1,000 billion lottery win for a wish.

Not only is the bonus pool not that big, but it can’t pay the price even if it evaporates others.

In addition, Hao Yun also noticed a detail, that is, the prop can only reverse cause and effect in a "short time".

Although it is not sure how short this short time refers to, it is obviously not possible to use it to achieve long-term goals.

For example, "becoming a top student through hard study" and "winning sales championships for two consecutive years and being favored by bosses to be promoted to senior executives", such goals that require time to achieve cannot be achieved.

In contrast, the desire to "get full marks in a certain exam" or even "write a question correctly" is highly likely to be realized... as long as the price can be repaid.

But in what form will the scores you have obtained be repaid?

Could it be that he was found cheating after the exam?

Or simply arrange a car accident later to balance it.

Although he felt that he would probably not use this prop in such a boring place, Hao Yun couldn't help but get into a stubborn and thought about some tricks.

for example--

Use it to interfere with other people's cause and effect...

Unfortunately, at this moment, the balcony door suddenly opened.

Looking at Hao Yun, who was gesturing in the sky, Liang Ziyuan was slightly stunned.

"……What are you doing?"

The expression on his face was a little subtle and embarrassed, and Hao Yun coughed lightly and said.

"Uh, count the stars."

“…have you counted clearly?”

"without."
