"Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river."
Su Ming lay on the pristine white bed, sighing repeatedly.
He has been in this world for thirty years, and he has accomplished nothing, living a mediocre life, and toiling away for a few taels of silver every day.
If you were a cow or a horse in your past life, you will be a cow or a horse in this life as well.
I really want to shout, "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!"
Unfortunately, it's just a dream.
Su Ming felt that his life was over.
I can't afford to marry a wife, and I can't afford to buy a house.
I've been single for thirty years; I'm content with just myself.
These days are tough.
"Handsome, time's up, wanna extend the time?"
A sweet, delicate voice rang out, interrupting Su Ming's thoughts.
That's when I realized I was getting a massage.
On his back, a girl in a black miniskirt was massaging his back.
Big eyes, fair skin, long hair, a clean face, and a sign hanging on her chest.
Number 18!
“Add—” Su Ming replied.
The girl immediately broke into a bright smile.
"Good boss!"
Number 18 is beautiful, has a sweet voice, top-notch skills, and excellent service.
She said she had a broken family.
A gambling father, a sick mother, a young brother, and a sensible girl.
Su Ming always requests her services when he comes, for no other reason than to do his best to help her.
Even though they are unhappy with their own lives, they can't bear to see the suffering of others.
It comes once a month at the end of the month, regardless of wind or rain.
The world is broken and dilapidated, but someone is patching it up.
————
The next day, early in the morning.
"Handsome, I'm going back to my hometown to get married next month."
Number 18 said this while tidying up his clothes.
Su Ming lit a cigarette and blew out a smoke ring.
"Sigh, now that you're gone, what will I do?"
He said with a melancholy expression.
Thinking that I won't see Number 18 again, I can't help but feel a little lost.
"If you need anything, boss, just give me a call. I'll be there anytime. I'll even give you a discount as a loyal customer."
After she finished speaking in a sweet, coquettish voice, she hung up her small bag, clicked her high heels, and left.
She left behind only a graceful silhouette, as if she had made some kind of decision and never looked at him again.
Su Ming suddenly felt a bit listless and bored.
He got up, tidied himself up, looked in the mirror, and left the room filled with memories with unsteady steps.
"Boss, welcome back next time."
He walked out of the store, seeing off by two pretty young women.
Su Ming glanced back and saw that Number 18 had changed his clothes and got into a black car and left.
He sighed softly, thinking that he might not come back in the future. He was going back to his hometown to start a business on the 18th, so he would have to find another place.
"Boss, a bowl of knife-cut noodles, please."
Entering a noodle shop, Su Ming ordered a bowl of knife-cut noodles.
"So early today?"
The owner brought over a bowl of knife-cut noodles and asked with a smile.
Su Ming was a regular customer of this restaurant, and they became familiar with each other after a few visits.
"I'll get you some side dishes, eat slowly."
The owner brought over a plate of side dishes and served it to us.
"Thanks, boss."
Su Ming gladly accepted it and began to eat it with relish.
The owner is a really nice person, and business is good.
Moreover, he puts out some noodles at the door every day for people in need to eat for free.
This is also one of the reasons why Su Ming likes to come to this store.
With such a kind heart from the owner, I feel at ease eating here.
He ate while looking through his phone, scrolling through his contacts.
"Number 8 went back to his hometown to start a business on the 18th. I'll visit him at another shop across the street next month."
Su Ming browsed through the list and finally made a decision.
Starting next month, I'll go visit number 8 at the house across the street.
"Sigh, life is just full of ups and downs."
As he ate, Su Ming couldn't help but sigh.
[Ding! Detected that the host's life in both lifetimes was extremely frustrating, with a monthly income of only 2000, eating noodles every day, and living worse than an animal.]
[Given the host's utter incompetence, the Multiverse Guest Appearance System is beginning to load—]
[Loading successful. Please check it yourself!]
Su Ming stared blankly at the panel that suddenly popped up in front of him.
"Tongzi, is that you?"
His eyes widened in surprise and delight, and he almost choked.
"Slurp—"
Su Ming quickly slurped up a bowl of noodles.
"Boss, check out."
He was eager to go back and check the system that had just appeared.
After being a beast of burden for thirty years, is it finally time for my luck to change?
After paying, he hurriedly returned to his rented room.
Su Ming closed the door, his heart pounding with excitement, his hands trembling.
Finally, I opened the system to check.
The "Guest Appearance in the Myriad Realms System" means, as the name suggests, that you can play the role of a guest character in various worlds.
After completing a cameo role, you will gain some of the cameo character's abilities or other rewards.
"System, how do I complete the task?"
Su Ming asked excitedly.
[Ding! Please pay attention to the system task panel. New "Guest Appearance in the Heavens" tasks will appear. Simply accept the orders and complete the tasks to receive rewards.]
The system notification made Su Ming thoughtful.
Do we have to wait for the task panel to refresh the orders automatically?
How long is the refresh time? When will there be a new task order?
This left him speechless, feeling that the system was pretty useless.
"A system for good dishes."
Su Ming couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Looking at the task panel, there were no tasks at all.
What to do? Having a system is the same as not having one.
Are we supposed to wait ten days, half a month, or even a year or several years without doing any tasks? What's the point of playing then?
"Go to hell, you're completely useless."
Su Ming waited for a while but nothing happened, so he couldn't help but complain.
"Where's the new player gift pack?"
"Where's the reward?"
He checked for a long time, but unfortunately the system didn't respond at all.
After waiting for an hour, I was completely speechless.
“凸(艹皿艹 )——”
Su Ming yawned and got up to take a shower.
I'm too tired today, I'll take a nap first.
What a terrible system, it's completely useless.
After taking a shower, Su Ming lay on the bed and fell fast asleep.
I slept for the whole day.
"The vast horizon is my love—"
I was having a sweet dream when I was suddenly woken up by a cell phone ringing.
"Hello, who is it?"
Su Ming touched his phone and answered the call.
"Su Ming, what time is it? Why aren't you here to take over your shift?"
Upon hearing the sound, Su Ming immediately woke up.
This is his security captain.
"Captain, I'm not feeling well, please take two days off."
He remembered his system and decided to take two days off to study it.
If there are still no tasks, then you can only honestly continue to be a beast of burden.
"sick?"
"Did you go to the hospital?"
The security captain was a kind-hearted man in his sixties who took good care of Su Ming.
"I've been to the doctor, and he said I've been overworking myself lately and told me to rest."
Su Ming casually mentioned it.
"Okay, then you should rest for a couple of days. Young people should take good care of their health and avoid foot massages; those places aren't clean."
The captain, speaking with the air of someone who's been through it all, offered his advice.
"Okay, I know."
Su Ming felt a warm feeling in his heart.
I hung up the phone and was about to go back to sleep.
[Ding! You have a cameo role order. Please check it promptly.]
Just then, a system notification sounded.
Su Ming's spirits lifted, and he immediately opened the system to check.
