Chapter 2921: Rent Cost Money, Food Cost Money

Bai Hanmo had become so thin he was practically deformed, with dark circles under his eyes like a panda. His face was haggard and yellow.

It was truly shocking.

Ding Xueqing definitely wouldn’t lend any money to Ding Ningdie. If she lent it once, there would be a second time, then a third, and Ding Ningdie would cling to her like a leech.

Ding Ningdie went to her mother, the celebrity Ji Lu, who had found a new sponsor, but her life wasn’t going well.

Since Ding Ningdie was her daughter, Ji Lu gave her a little money each time she asked. But Ding Ningdie’s requests were becoming more frequent.

Ji Lu started to feel overwhelmed and eventually hardened her heart, refusing to give her more.

Ding Ningdie cried pitifully, but Ji Lu remained unmoved and told her to leave Bai Hanmo and find someone new.

Staying with Bai Hanmo was simply a waste of her youth.

Ding Ningdie also felt exhausted inside, but she loved Bai Hanmo and couldn’t bear to leave him.

Ji Lu just let her do as she pleased. In any case, her focus was on getting a bit of money to fund her retirement.

Ding Ningdie had no choice but to look for a job, but she didn’t have any skills to earn a living.

She failed at everything she tried.

Rent cost money, food cost money, and Bai Hanmo’s expenses were even higher.

Ding Ningdie was finding it hard to cope with this kind of life.

But she had no choice but to endure. Furthermore, ever since she fell down the stairs, her leg bones ached faintly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Especially on rainy days, the pain was unbearable.

Ning Shu turned off the screen and lay down on the sofa, planning to take a nap.

Three consecutive tasks—after finishing one, the next one would start immediately, with no time to rest.

Just thinking about it made her feel exhausted.

When she woke up, Ning Shu exchanged for some fasting pills and water, and asked 2333, “Can I use the items I exchanged in all three worlds?”

“How could that be? You can only use them in one world,” 2333 ruthlessly shattered Ning Shu’s hopes.

Ning Shu: …

She had thought that since it was a chain of tasks, the items would be transferable between worlds.

She felt so tired inside.

Ning Shu touched her chest, feeling her heart race. Her heart wasn’t supposed to beat, so why was she so nervous?

Ning Shu let out a long sigh, hammered her chest, and with a smile said, “Let’s start the tasks. Let’s aim to finish all three tasks successfully.”

“Good luck,” 2333 said.

“Start the task,” Ning Shu said. She felt a moment of dizziness.

Before she even opened her eyes, she heard voices around her.

“Lick the shoes, lick the shoes!”

“Eat shit instead, eating shit is more fun!”

Ning Shu opened her eyes and saw a scene that was all too familiar, one she absolutely didn’t want to revisit.

It was the failed examination task for becoming an advanced task-taker, the one with an SSS-level difficulty.

It was about school violence at a prestigious school.

The three ‘princes’, Ou Haoxuan, Mu Yeyao, and Min Haochu, were the bullies, and Yi Xiaotong was the victim of the violence.

The entrustor, Yi Xiaotong, just wanted to live—with dignity—and hold a painting exhibition for her brother.

What a familiar scene. Ning Shu touched the branch in her pocket. Back then, she had used this branch to perish together with Ou Haoxuan.

Naturally, the task was counted as a failure.
