The random passerby I married is the world's richest man!

Chapter 2: The system's bug

Half an hour later, Bai Zhen Zhen quitted her job at the restaurant. When resigning, the restaurant's manager looked at her with admiration and let out a sorrowful sigh after clicking his tongue: "You little girl, you're really lucky! You actually picked the phone of the Leng group's CEO, this is actually more difficult than winning the lottery ah!"

Naturally, he also couldn't help adding with ridicule: "Although a million is not a small amount, but it was a great opportunity to get close to President Leng. Why did you not use a long line to catch this big fish?(1)"

Bai Zhen Zhen said with all honesty: "I don't like to eat fish."

As she left, the manager watched her like he was looking at a fool.

After Bai Zhen Zhen turned around, a triumphant smile emerged at the corner of her mouth. Even the manager felt regret in her stead, it looked like a moment ago her actions fully exposed greedy and sn.o.bbish nature.

Therefore, Leng Hao Chen would certainly sneer at her disdainfully, and I was completely impossible to follow the same plot as in the original novel

—-Wow! This girl is so unique ! Ah, this woman has successfully picked my interest….

The system suddenly came out.

—System: "Host, it is necessary for the system to remind you that there's been a deviation in the development of the plot."

Deviation? What she wants is precisely this deviation!

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "System, I remember you said that as long as I live in this world for 365 days and complete this time-limited experience, I can automatically return to the real world, right?"

—System: "Yes, host."

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "Since it's just to experience, I can make my own decisions. In that case, it doesn't matter what I do during these 365 days as long as I stay in this world, isn't that right?"

—System: "Host, it is necessary for the system to remind you that even if you make a different choice from the original host, other primary characters will interact with you through other ways. You are this book's MC after all, you have a default heroine halo. "

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "You don't need to worry about this! When the moment comes, I'll find a place to hide. As long as I don't meet with the male leads, those vicious women also won't learn of my existence."

When Bai Zhen Zhen thought of this plan earlier on that night, she felt she was really clever, being able to find a bug in the system in such a short time.

—System: "Host, you came to this world with a luck of one in a million, don't tell me you don't want to at least experience once the feelings of doing something glorious?"

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "No, no, no, nowadays the philosophy is to just be chill and pa.s.s your days, that's exactly the same for me, plain and uneventful is the way to go…"

—System: "But according to your character settings in the book, your filial piety can move the heaven and earth, there's no way you don't care in the slightest for your critically ill father. In the event that your actions go against these features, the system has the right to stop you."

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "…What happens after you stop me?"

—System: "The experience is restarted."

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "I will have to trouble you to read me the character settings of the original host."

—System: "Beautiful appearance, unique temperament, fascinating disposition. Kind and warmhearted, very caring of relatives and friends; specially, very filial to her father. "

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "Just listen to the meaning of these sentences, right now it's all about saving my father, nothing else besides that."

—System: "Therefore, the system recommends you follow the plot, fall in love with the male lead, and get the male lead's help to save your father. Otherwise, if the character settings collapse, your experience is going to restart. "

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "You're quite sly. Do you really think I don't remember the novel's plot? The male lead is indeed going to help treat the illness of the father, but by then it's too late to treat him, the original host's father is poisoned by that woman and dies."

—System: "Host, your memory is really good."

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "Hehe, the plot is extremely poisonous, you can't forget it even if you want to."

—System: "But according to the current situation, that is the only way for you to save your father."

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "Wrong."

—System: "?"

Bai Zhen Zhen's eyes fell on the one million check in her hands.

"Obviously, there is a better way now."

It took less than one hour to change the check and charge her bank card, as well as withdrawing a stack of cash.

Bai Zhen Zhen happily put the bank card back into her bag, and raised 20,000 yuan in cash in her hand.

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "How about this, system? Is one million enough to treat my father's illness?"

—System: "…"

Bai Zhen Zhen didn't hear the system refute, so she knew her plan was completely in compliance with her character settings.

As long as the character settings didn't collapse, she could continue the experience, and after enough time, she could immediately go back to her original world. Bai Zhen Zhen had already thought of it, of this 1 million, she would use 800,000 for the treatment of her "daddy", and the remaining 200,000 yuan, she would spend them doing tourism.

Speaking of which, this was the world in the book. The characters here were all fictitious. In the case you developed feelings for the male lead, when the moment to break up arrived, one would inevitably feel sad. What's more, it was not worth being harmed by those malicious women.

But thinking from another perspective - the scenery and gourmet food in this world were real ah! Coming here to do some tourism, this is truly her luck of one in a million! Thinking like this, Bai Zhen Zhen's mood completely changed!

Now, Bai Zhen Zhen wanted to go home and see her "daddy"'s situation first, and then contact the hospital.Bai Zhen Zhen came out of the bank's doors, and as she turned the corner, her footsteps stopped abruptly.

There was a man standing at the front of the alley, watching her with cold eyes. Bai Zhen Zhen had a bad feeling, and immediately turned around. Who knew that there already was someone behind her! He had the same crew cut as the other man, swarthy, and wearing sloppy clothes. However, he was a bit short.

"What do you think you're doing?" Bai Zhen Zhen moved slowly, her alert eyes darting back and forth between the two.

The two men surrounded Bai Zhen Zhen. The taller man sneered, "Little girl, we heard you are the lucky bastard who just swindled one million, if you are sensible, quickly take it out! "

Bai Zhen Zhen frowned. Such bad luck, she just encountered some hoodlums. Most likely, they had followed her the whole way here. Bai Zhen Zhen knew it was very important to keep their emotions stable, so she said: "These two big brothers, I just have 20,000 yuan in cash, I will give them to you as long as you let me go."

"20,000?!" The short man was angered. "You fished up one million, and just want to give these brothers 20,000? You think we are trash collectors ah? This is a robbery! Please respect our work!"

Bai Zhen Zhen: "…"

The tall man said, "Don't talk rubbish with her! You, hand us your bank card and your PIN!"

At such a critical moment, the 'system' bound to Bai Zhen Zhen unexpectedly turned a blind eye. Even more, it announced the default settings in an indifferent way.

—System: "Host, the system needs to remind you, if you lose your life before the end of the experience, the system will determine your experience has failed and will restart the experience."

Bai Zhen Zhen realized that if she didn't follow the original plot, she would encounter many unknown risks. After all, this was similar to the real world, and anything could happen.

Just as Bai Zhen Zhen was lost in thought, a person suddenly rushed out of the alley, his movements fast and agile. He kicked the short man down with one foot, then reached out with his fist and landed a punch on the face of the taller man.

The two hoodlums looked fierce, but they just had the abilities of a three-legged cat(2), and were beaten down after a few rounds.

So… who is the hero that appeared to rescue the beauty?

With this kind of skill, you dare come out and rob?" The brave and righteous hero asked the question in Bai Zhen Zhen's mind.

The short man grumbled and answered, "So what? Who was born to rob? We also need to practice ah!"

The tall man didn't talk much. He pulled the other man's arm and escaped in a second.

Bai Zhen Zhen finally heaved a sigh of relief.

She repeatedly expressed her thanks to the hero "Handsome guy, thank you ah! Thank you for just now…"

She sized him up as she spoke, the hero was a young handsome boy around 18 or 19 years old. He had a clear and clean complexion, with two faintly discernible dimples. He also had a clever look, but unafraid when fighting.

"You're welcome! It was a piece of cake!" The handsome boy glanced at Bai Zhen Zhen.

Originally, it was just a subconscious quick glimpse, but his glance froze when he saw Bai Zhen Zhen's face, and surprise flashed at the bottom of his eyes.

"That… My name is Xi Xixi, I don't know… your name ah?

Bai Zhen Zhen was flabbergasted.

System: "Host, a main character has been identified, do you need me to introduce it?"

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "… No need."

"Xi Xixi", she was very familiar with this name. Wasn't this none other than the third male lead of the book? Such a weird name should be really difficult to find a second person with it.

"Looking at your expression, you surely think my name is really odd, right?" Xi Xixi explained with a smile, "Actually, my dad's surname is Xi as in Xiluo, and my mom's surname is Xi as in Xiwang. As for the third Xi… it's because my mom gave birth to me while eating watermelon(3)… "

After finishing, he looked at Bai Zhen Zhen with a big smile and asked: "And you?"

"Oh, my name is Hei Jiajia, my father's surname is Hei, my mother's surname is Jia(4)" Bai Zhen Zhen made up a random name. She immediately set a boundary before Xi Xixi could react. "That… there's not enough words to thank you! I still have some urgent matters to attend, I'll go first ah!"

"How about l send you?" Xi Xixi hurriedly said.

"No need! Goodbye ah, handsome guy! Have a good life!" Bai Zhen Zhen waved her hand as she ran away.

Muttering in her heart as she ran -let this be a goodbye, it's best if I don't see you again during this year!

Bai Zhen Zhen: "System, why did the 3rd male lead suddenly pop up?"

—System: "Host, the system needs to remind you, even if you make different choices than the original owner, the other main characters will still interact with you through other ways. After all, you are this book's MC, with a default heroine halo."

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "…You are cruel."

It seems that leaving this city is imperative!!

Ten minutes later, Bai Zhen Zhen returned to her "home" based on the memories in her mind provided by the system.

Her family lived in a shabby rented house in a run-down neighborhood. Although the environment was poor, the rent was not cheap. Besides the rent, the whole family's living expenses, the tuition for her younger sister, and the medical expenses of her father, all were supported by her income alone. So in addition to working in the restaurant, she also did some temporary works.

Finally arrived at the door of the house, Bai Zhen Zhen had barely inserted the key into the door lock when she heard a sharp voice coming out from inside.

Footnotes:

1:******: use a long line to catch a big fish (idiom); a long-term plan for major returns.

2: ***: lit. three-legged cat, fig. jack of all trades.

3: ** (xīluò) - ridiculous; ** (xīwàng) - to wish, to hope for; ** (xīguā) – watermelon. The whole meaning of his name is nonsensical, thus funny. Normally when parents name their child, it would be something good: safe, beauty, handsome, filial, etc but his is… ridiculous, watermelon.

4: * (Hēi) - black, sinister, shady; * (jiǎ)– to buy.
