Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 176: Unfavorable Start

    

child rubbed his eyes and yawned again before noticing there were many unfamiliar people in the room. He felt a little scared, clutching his slender neck with both hands as he curiously looked at eve...The ripples' last task was a success, completing the communicator's assigned mission and even fulfilling the Empress' unspoken wish. When she finally agreed to be buried with her loyal servant, the stone mill alerted her that she had exceeded expectations.

After returning to the Time and Space Administration, Ripple's Ancestor hadn't even enjoyed his three-day vacation before Shiu sent him into a mission world.

"This mission is more difficult than usual. Two mid-level taskers have already failed it. If a tasker fails three times in a row, the mission will be considered a failure. The resentment will continue to corrode and destroy this world, and at that point, very powerful monsters will appear..."

Liàn Yī heard this and her eyebrows rose slightly. She asked directly:

What kind of monster could leave you all helpless

The stone grinder thought the task-assigned individual was truly unique, with interests unlike anyone else.

"Cough, my level is not high enough, so I can't access these for now..."

The millstone felt a little awkward.

“Your level increase is related to the task completion rate of our agents.”

The ancestor of ripples said definitively.

The millstone stroked its nose and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Well then, this rather challenging task I assigned you should be quite helpful for leveling up!"

Ripple smiled and said.

…”

It's not good for a tasker to be too smart.

Seeing that the Patriarch of Ripple did not immediately deny the statement, Li Yun knew his guess was right.

What are the benefits

The ripples continued to ask.

"Ahem, if you can finish this task, your Tasker level will be upgraded. You'll then be able to take on intermediate tasks, and you'll also be able to selectively keep what you acquire in the task world."

Shiju immediately explained.

The ripples nodded, but her expression didn't change.

In the previous world, she had obtained space, nuclei, assets worth hundreds of millions, and mastery of beast language. These were not necessities for her.

Because the world ripples experiences is a lower-dimensional plane, the value of obtaining things is also limited.

However, if she entered the higher realm, the things she could obtain would be more beneficial to her as a cultivator. So Ripples ultimately accepted this difficult task.

Shíju waited for Lianri to nod, then without a word, directly clicked on the transparent screen in front of him, opened the teleportation gate, and sent Lianri through first.

The ripples flowed smoothly into a young body that hadn't opened its eyes yet. Before receiving the other person's memories, it felt a pair of plump, salty hands moving down along her waist.

"Ripples, as long as you follow me, I guarantee I'll introduce you to Sir Mingfeng. He has the information you want, it will definitely..." Ouch!

The ripple-like, slender and fair hand had already seized the salty pig's hoof that was roaming about her hips, and in the man's scream, it broke the limb.

"Oh! You smelly…"

Before the other person could even finish their insult, Ren quickly locked them in a sleeper hold, silencing them completely.

Then ripples only turned her neck and looked at the short, stout man before her. The man's face was red with anger, his hand gripped Ripples' wrist tightly, trying to twist it free.

After a *snap*, the short and stout man was completely silent.

Ripple placed the other person on a chair and then searched them, finding a wallet, a pocket watch, and a red ruby pendant crafted with filigree.

After placing these items in the bag beside him, the ripple splashed all the wine from the white porcelain flask onto the short and stout man, then knocked him face down on the table, making him appear drunk and passed out.

Then, ripples looked around this antique box room, feeling that it was unsafe to receive the original memory here.

The man was already dead, so she naturally couldn't leave through the main entrance openly. Ripple opened the window and found that below the window of this private room was a secluded alleyway.

After making sure no one was in the alley, Ripples directly flipped out of the window, her toes lightly tapping the tiles on the eaves before jumping down. Once she stabilized her form, she followed the route from her original memories and quickly returned to Yimin University.

"Mr. Wu, I was just looking for you!"

A man wearing rimless glasses and a teal-colored robe stopped Ripples at the school gate.

"Teacher Pan, is there something the matter"

This address came out spontaneously, obviously the original owner knew the other party.

"I want to swap classes with you. I have math first period in the afternoon, and you can take English second period. Would that work for you"

"I thought it was something serious, worth Mr. Pan taking such pains over. It's just a change of class, no problem!"

R ripples smiled and said.

Mr. Pan adjusted his glasses, gave a shy nod and a smile, then hurried to the classroom with his textbooks in hand.

The ripples also quickly went to the teacher's office, which was independent of the teaching building.

Looking at the ripples coming in, a young female teacher asked with some surprise:

"Teacher Wu, isn't this your first class Why are you still here dawdling about You're going to be late."

“Just about to go to class when I bumped into Teacher Pan, and we switched classes.”

With practiced ease, Lian Yi walked to his desk and took off his windbreaker, hanging it on the rack before finally responding to his colleague's question.

Then you can take a break for one class period, no need to rush so much.

"It's gotten used to, nothing much."

Ripples smiled and said.

Then, he spread out the lesson plan in front of him, took a sip of hot tea, and formally began to accept the memories of his original body.

He was a high-achieving returnee who had previously studied in the United Kingdom. During a turbulent period in China, he resolutely chose to return home to teach and nurture future generations, hoping to contribute his own strength to the rise of China.

Unfortunately, the original person was full of knowledge and passion, but lacked the corresponding experience.

That portly short man was an intelligence peddler who claimed to have information about a joint operation against the underground party.

And the original person actually believed it. She wanted to obtain this piece of information, so she got in touch with the short and fat man.

Actually, the other party was only coveting her beauty and using this excuse to get her. After playing with her, he turned around and gave her to a KMT officer, making her a concubine.

By the time her true self realized she had been deceived, it was too late. The university she attended had already expelled her, and she had become a woman of infamy in the eyes of her colleagues and students, shunned by all.

She lost her innocence, was misunderstood by everyone, and was controlled by that cruel man. After failing to resist, she even attempted suicide but failed. Instead, it aroused the officer's ferocity, who brutally beat her before sending her to a Japanese general who loved to torture women.

Tortured to the point of being worse than dead, in despair, she jumped from a three-story Western-style building with that Japanese officer.

The original person didn't even want to live, but unfortunately, compared to a professionally trained officer, she became the one taking the fall.

Even after death, they were cruelly thrown to the dogs. The original's anger and resentment soared beyond measure, reaching the heavens. This is what led to this mission.

Why did the first two taskers failthe back of their team."Today is still okay, we changed direction and didn't go to yesterday's place. It was a warehouse in the suburbs, kind of far away. There were some unfrozen containers with food...
