Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder’s Record of Counterattacks

Chapter 3532: Owner (13)

After the gas leak incident, the couple became extremely cautious. Ying Zhi stroked Ning Shu’s head and said, “If anything happens, Beibei, you must notify us immediately.”

Ying Zhi even hired an electrician to check all the wiring in the house to eliminate any potential safety hazards. They also carefully inspected everything from the floor-to-ceiling windows to every corner of the apartment.

Now that they had a child, Ying Zhi had to be extra careful. Since he couldn’t see, he couldn’t keep his eyes on the baby at all times, and raising a child was proving to be incredibly difficult.

Ying Zhi felt that being a stay-at-home dad was even more exhausting than going to work. When the baby got fussy, she was like a little devil. The veins on his forehead would bulge with stress, yet he still had to summon every ounce of patience to coax her.

Because the child couldn’t talk yet, she expressed every need through constant crying.

It was very irritating.

There were times when Ning Shu couldn’t stand the ‘sonic torture’ and would cover her ears with her paws.

She realized she was not someone who particularly liked children.

She had expected more things to go wrong and stayed on high alert. Human life was both resilient and fragile. It took only a small amount of harm to take it away.

2333’s voice finally echoed in Ning Shu’s mind. “Task complete. Do you wish to leave the task world?”

Ning Shu let out a long breath, and her tongue accidentally slid out again. “Leave.”

The greatest crisis had likely passed.

Ning Shu’s head spun, and she returned to the system space. The moment she arrived, she couldn’t help but stretch. Being trapped in such a small body was incredibly uncomfortable.

She flopped onto the sofa and felt a wave of relief. The scent of aloeswood wafted through the system space, and as she inhaled it into her soul, her mind began to calm.

Ning Shu stretched her limbs. It felt so good.

There were essentially no rewards for this task—just a tiny bit of soul power. There were no attribute points and no point tokens.

The soul power Ning Shu absorbed from Beibei’s offering was almost negligible.

“Even animals can offer their souls!” Ning Shu remarked with a sigh.

2333 replied, “Any living creature with a soul and emotions can offer its soul.”

“The rewards for this task were too low, and the host was a dog, so no one was willing to do it. You said you wanted a simple task, so I took it for you,” 2333 said, sounding as if he were doing her a great favor.

Ning Shu: “…Thanks a lot!”

“Actually, the original storyline of this task was quite difficult. A fire broke out in the house, and Ying Zhi’s mother-in-law was severely burned and died on the spot. His wife and child were hospitalized, and the child eventually died,” 2333 explained.

Ning Shu: “…I see.”

He was really stating the obvious after the fact.

Did he really need to tell her that now?

Even though the gains were small, she treated it as a chance to relax. Although she had been a dog, there hadn’t been much danger to her personally.

No wonder no one took this task. First, the rewards were low, and second, there was no way to learn the storyline or the task details from the perspective of a dog.

One was basically flying blind!

Ning Shu hugged a cushion and opened the chat system. Her inbox was quite lively now. People were constantly trying to reach her. For instance, the people from the auction house were persistently testing the waters, and some shop owners from the City of Water were inviting her to dinner.

It was likely all because of the auction house incident. Many people were probably losing sleep over it.

It was good that they felt a sense of awe!

The person behind the auction house had yet to show their face, so Ning Shu had no intention of reopening it for now.

With a ding, another message arrived. She opened it and saw it was from Mei Ziqing.

Mei Ziqing had sent a voice message, her voice sounding incredibly anxious. “Ning Shu! Xiao Huo has been lured away by Pan Chen. I have no idea where he is now!”

Ning Shu frowned. How did he get lured away? Shouldn’t she have been more careful?

They had encountered that stubborn stone before. Pan Chen had clearly harbored ill intentions toward Xiao Huo, and now he had actually managed to kidnap him.

Mei Ziqing said, “I went on a task, and when I got back, Xiao Huo was gone. The system said he was teleported to the City of Fire, but I can’t find him there at all.”

Ning Shu replied, “How could you let him wander around? Was he really taken by Pan Chen, or did someone else snatch him? After all, Xiao Huo is a world origin. He’s worth tens of thousands in faith and merit points.”

Mei Ziqing: “It must be the stone, Pan Chen. I placed a tracker on Xiao Huo using an item from the system exchange marketplace.”

Ning Shu: “…You knew someone was after him, yet you still let him run around everywhere? Now he’s been kidnapped like a child by a human trafficker.”

Mei Ziqing: “What can I say? I’m in despair. I didn’t want to keep Xiao Huo locked in the system space all the time. I warned him that if he saw anything suspicious, he should have the system teleport him back immediately. Who knew this would happen?”

Generally speaking, combat was forbidden in the task-taker cities, and task-taker wouldn’t usually make a move there.

The fear was that Xiao Huo couldn’t resist someone’s coaxing and had been lured away willingly.

Ning Shu: “How do you know it’s Pan Chen?”

What if she had the wrong person?

Mei Ziqing: “The item points toward that stone. I have no idea where they’ve run off to now.”

Ning Shu: …

Ning Shu couldn’t help but rub her forehead. Raising a child was truly not easy. Although Xiao Huo was as tall as an adult, he had the mind of a child. He was essentially a giant infant.

Ning Shu: “…Where are we supposed to look?”

Pan Chen had said he wanted to take Xiao Huo out to see the world. They could be in any plane by now.

Pan Chen was a stone that could kill without incurring karma. Even if he destroyed an entire plane, he would still be fine. But if he led Xiao Huo astray, that would be a disaster.

The stone could get away with it, but Xiao Huo couldn’t.

Mei Ziqing: “I don’t even know where to start looking. I’m worried sick.”

She was truly like a single mother. Mei Ziqing felt responsible for Xiao Huo.

Ning Shu: “Let’s think of a way.”

There was always something going on. It was exhausting to take on the responsibility for another person.

Ning Shu propped her head on her hand and thought silently. Pan Chen was currently following the school doctor uncle, wasn’t he? Why couldn’t he keep his person under control?

That was it. Since Pan Chen belonged to the school doctor uncle, if they couldn’t find Pan Chen, they should find the school doctor uncle.

Ning Shu rested her chin in her hand and poked at the aloeswood in the incense burner. She asked 2333, “Do you have the school doctor uncle’s contact information?”

“I don’t,” 2333 said without a moment’s hesitation.

Ning Shu’s hand stopped. She set down the metal poker and asked coolly, “Are you sure you don’t?”

“I don’t.”

“You really don’t?”

“I don’t.”

“…I know you do. Back in the City of Water, you were the one who called him over. I didn’t have his contact information then, which means you must have it.

“Besides, it’s not like knowing someone is something to be ashamed of. Why hide it? Something has happened and we need to find him. Give me his contact information,” Ning Shu said dismissively.

Who 2333 knew was his business. Even if he were friends with the school doctor uncle, what did it matter to her?
