Chapter 14 Red Notice
Make a wish to open your eyes.
Sunlight streamed in through the window.
Warm and gentle.
This allowed Xu Yuan, who had just experienced a "bloody battle" in the subspace, to finally relax.
When he finished washing up and came out of the room, Lao Xu and Xu Meng were already dressed and sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.
"What time is it? You two are up so early?"
Xu Yuan looked at the two of them with a face full of surprise.
"Didn't Beiwei say she was coming over today to process your onboarding?" Old Xu kept adjusting the collar of his suit and shirt. "Although our Xu family isn't wealthy, we can't lose face. We absolutely can't let you down."
After saying that, Old Xu winked at Xu Yuan.
Make a wish: ...
Are you afraid of losing face? I can't even be bothered to call you out on it!
Does Beiwei have feelings for me?
I'm not entirely sure about what I'm hoping for.
To say it's meaningless to herself? What Bevy did for herself makes absolutely no sense.
But to say that Bevy is interested in him?
The things that can be done go beyond what is interesting.
However, Xu Yuan is not in the mood to delve into this matter right now.
A more pressing problem is now before me.
As his mental strength continued to grow due to his beating of the "God of Wisdom and Hope," the difficulty for him to fall asleep and enter that subspace increased day by day.
We must find a stable way to fall asleep as soon as possible...
Drugs? Or hypnosis?
As for medication...
Don't be ridiculous, I can withstand small-caliber firearm bullets... and that was yesterday's physical strength.
Based on my own estimation, I should be able to withstand large-caliber bullets with my bare hands today.
What sleeping pills are effective for me?
Unless you take sleeping pills like food...
Perhaps hypnosis is worth a try...
Just as Xu Yuan was carefully considering whether the plan was feasible, Xu Meng, who was watching TV on the sofa, suddenly called out.
"Brother, come quick! It's that annoying guy from yesterday!"
Xu Meng's exclamation interrupted his thoughts.
When Xu Yuan looked at the TV screen, he was stunned.
"...This is an official international red notice. Wanted: Cheng Yong, alias Cheng Wen... Charge: Endangering national security... Reward: Three million yuan..."
Immediately afterwards, the news footage switched.
"Last night, multiple departments across my country, including internet monitoring, public security, and national security agencies, launched a joint operation and successfully dismantled a large-scale online trolling criminal gang, arresting 427 suspects in various locations nationwide..."
"Furthermore, regarding the 'Star City University recruitment incident' that attracted public attention yesterday, this station has learned that, after rigorous review, the student involved, Xu Yuan, achieved full marks in both the administrative aptitude test and the essay test in this civil service examination. His recruitment process was entirely compliant and legal, demonstrating..."
Old Xu stopped tidying his clothes and pointed at the news on TV, his face full of disbelief.
"Xiaoyuan, did you really get first place? Or a perfect score?"
"Yes, I checked the results sheet, and it is indeed true." Xu Yuan nodded calmly. "If you're not good, just practice more."
Old Xu fell into deep thought, and only after a long while did he look up again, his expression somber.
"Why don't you come with me to get a paternity test? There's no such thing as getting a perfect score in the Xu family bloodline."
Make a wish: ...
He finally understood what Beiwei meant by "handing it over to her".
This is more than just having a powerful background; it's downright powerful!
There's definitely no more trouble now.
The only thing he regretted was that Cheng Yong had run away and no one knew where he was hiding. Otherwise, he could have pocketed the three million yuan reward.
The tuition for her younger sister's private high school has to be slowly saved up by the "friendship fee" that her "top-ranking friend" Beiwei steadily pays out every day.
There was no other way; I was terrified of being poor!
"Alright, since things have come to this, let's eat first..."
The Xu family of three sat around the dining table, enjoying a rare and sumptuous breakfast.
Speaking of which, I should thank "Big Sister Bevy" for the friend's money.
In the past, to ensure their younger sister had enough nutrition during her growth spurt, Xu Yuan and Lao Xu usually skipped breakfast...
……
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Bevy suddenly jumped up from the table, her face filled with terror, gasping for breath and trying to draw in the oxygen in the air.
He breathed a sigh of relief only after realizing he was in his study at home.
She reached up and wiped her forehead; it was already soaked with cold sweat.
Judging from the time on the clock on the wall, I realized I had only slept for less than 3 hours.
She was awakened by a nightmare.
In her dream, she returned to that despairing apocalypse.
The alien fleet was overwhelming, and the blue energy shield was completely impenetrable.
Humanity's major cities were almost simultaneously destroyed by a beam of energy that fell from the sky.
The other survivors were hunted down by aliens in small ships, like stray dogs.
Even the escape of some survivors to hide in the deep mountains was of no use.
Corpses lay strewn across the fields, withered graves everywhere...
Bevy got up, stretched her body, and walked to the window again.
83%
The blood-red percentage numbers still hung in mid-air.
It rose another 1% compared to yesterday!
The pattern of percentage increases has long been figured out; it increases by a fixed 1% every day.
If the percentage cannot be reduced again, there are only 17 days left until the end of the world!
17 days!
That's definitely not enough for Great Xia to translate those technologies into combat power!
Bevy's expression was somber as the despairing apocalyptic scene from her dream resurfaced in her mind.
That wasn't just a dream; it was a real tragedy that was unfolding on the trajectory of the future.
I couldn't care less about the severe headache caused by lack of sleep.
After a quick wash, I grabbed my coat, pushed open the door, and went outside.
Breakfast had already been prepared in the villa's restaurant area, where Beiwei and her family were having their meal.
When Beiwei's mother saw Beiwei come out of the door, she quickly invited her to eat.
"I'm not eating anymore, I have to go out, I have something urgent to attend to."
"Weiwei, where are you going?"
"The Wishing House!"
……
On the other side of the world.
It was already late at night.
Cheng Yong sat comfortably in a huge boss's chair, having changed into a suit.
"This is the kind of life a protagonist should have!"
Cheng Yong swirled the wine in his glass, the liquid inside sparkling like a ruby.
After taking a deep, intoxicating sip of the rich aroma of red wine, he shifted his gaze from the wine in his glass to the three people standing in front of his desk.
These three men were the leaders of the three largest gangs in the city.
Now, however, he stands quietly in place, head bowed, like the most loyal younger brother.
After a night of hard work, and with his newly awakened superpower, Cheng Yong finally became the uncrowned king of this city!
During this process, he realized that he had underestimated his own superpowers.
As long as you are human, you will have desires.
As long as you have desires, you will be seduced by yourself!
He doesn't even need words; all he needs is a note to control the other person!
This is why he was able to unify the city's underworld overnight!
"Give me your phone."
Cheng Yong spoke to one of the leaders.
The latter immediately unlocked his phone and handed it over with both hands.
Cheng Yong opened his phone, originally intending to let everyone know he was safe, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized he didn't really have anyone to let him know he was safe.
Let's just see how overwhelmed that guy who made the wish is right now!
Those online trolls are very professional at stirring up trouble; it's time to see the results.
They forced themselves to flee overseas, never imagining that their lives would be completely turned upside down now...
After Cheng Yong re-downloaded the short video platform and logged in again...
He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"...Red Notice: Cheng Yong. Charge: Endangering National Security, Reward: Three Million..."
"...This station urges and advises Cheng Yong to turn himself in to the authorities as soon as possible..."
The first video prominently features his own photo.
Cheng Yong's eyes were filled with disbelief. He even scrolled down and then scrolled back up to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
Red Notice? Crimes endangering national security?
How could you possibly pin such a huge crime on me, the main character?
All I wanted was to get first place, what's wrong with that?
It's all your fault!
Bevy! How comfortable did making a wish make you feel? That it made you work so hard to help him, even going so far as to create a red notice?
Cheng Yong was so angry that his teeth itched, as if he had suffered a tremendous injustice.
As for his own underhanded operations and hiring online trolls to maliciously manipulate public opinion?
I'm the protagonist, how could the protagonist be wrong?
And that's not all.
As Cheng Yong continued to swipe down the screen, the next video he saw was about making a wish.
However, since the online trolls have been caught, and based on the results of the official investigation...
The sentiment in the comments section has completely shifted.
What was previously seen as a scandalous exam has been transformed into a model for students from underprivileged backgrounds, with some even suggesting that Xu Yuan be nominated for one of the Ten Outstanding Youths of Great Xia...
The more Cheng Yong looked, the more intense his jealousy and hatred became.
All of this should have been mine!
Jealousy spread like wildfire, and the whispered words echoed in his ears once more: Stand up! Let them see who the real protagonist is!
"Fine! You've already put me on Interpol's Red Notice, haven't you? You're going to arrest me, aren't you? Then I'll step forward!"
"I'd like to see how you manage to arrest me in America!"
"Go tell my gang!"
At that very moment.
A much more powerful energy than before emerged from the void and landed on Cheng Yong.
Cheng Yong was taken aback at first, then felt his own superpowers become even stronger.
He then opened his arms, a twisted and ecstatic smile spreading across his face.
"I knew it! I'm the chosen one! I'm the protagonist!"
