Different World: The Devil's Coming

Chapter 3 Compensation and Choice

After hearing this, Li Xiang's mouth twitched and he looked at the old man with a bad expression.

"You are not kidding me, are you? It's obviously your fault, why do you want me to take responsibility for it with my entire life? And I only have a dozen years left to live, what's the point? I'm only 23 this year!!"

"Well, it's like this. It was already daytime in the human world. After your client talked to your boss, he discovered that you were missing and called the police. In this case, it's hard to explain why you appeared in the elevator again, right? As for your life span... you were too tired, so..."

"What do you mean it's not easy to explain? Then I'll just forget about it for the rest of my life."

"Um... that's about right. How about this, we'll give you a better baby in your next life, someone tall, rich and handsome, or someone who's an artist, what do you think?"

Li Xiang understood. There was no way the old man would let him go. Even if he refused, he would not be able to find the way back. After all, he was unfamiliar with the place and the elevator had already left. He might as well just accept the fate and have a good life. After all, there was nothing to be nostalgic about in this life. The only thing he was worried about was his parents, who were being taken care of by his sister. He hoped everything would be fine.

But no matter how I think about it, I can't accept it. No, I must give the old man a good beating.

"Let's not talk about the next life first. What are you going to do with me in this life? After all, my parents are still alive. If I die and have no body, won't they even be able to build a grave?"

"Don't worry about that. I've already placed a body that looks just like you in the elevator shaft of the elevator you took before, so at most they'll be able to find out from the surveillance footage tonight that you entered the elevator and died suddenly in it."

Li Xiang's mouth twitched, he was a little speechless, it seemed that the old man had already done it, no wonder he refused to let him go back. No, he had to kill the big guy.

"You handled this pretty quickly? You didn't even ask for my opinion? Are you bullying a mere mortal like me?"

"No, no, no, the people downstairs have already called the police. If you don't let me go, and the elevator shaft is searched, then you will be confirmed missing, so..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, alright, but I want my parents and sister to be happy for the rest of their lives. Can you do that?"

"Yes, yes, you can have this."

"Well, what are you going to do with me in my next life?"

"Well, we combined the wishes of the human world and found that many people want to be tall, rich and handsome, and a top student. They also want to have a harem and say they are the winners in life. How about I give you one?"

Li Xiang's heart was beating wildly: Damn, old man, you really understand me, this is exactly what I want.

However, no matter how turbulent his heart was, Li Xiang still pretended to be indifferent. After calming down with great difficulty, he did not speak, but just shook his head and looked at the old man with a frown, as if he was not interested in these.

"How about giving you a lucky break? According to your world, it's called the European Emperor System, where whatever you wish for comes true?"

Li Xiang's heart began to beat wildly again, but he held it back. He looked at the old man silently, wanting to see what conditions the old man would give next.

"Then what about a perfect personality? Courage, perseverance, tenacity, calmness, etc. It allows you to be calm, decisive, and perseverant, so that you can achieve anything you want?"

Li Xiang's expression did not change, but in his heart he had already set off fireworks to celebrate.

But the old man was a little angry. This is not okay, that is not okay. Is this kid playing tricks on me? Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but swear: "Damn it, you little bastard, just tell me what you want. Why torture me here? If you don't tell me, believe it or not, I will throw you into Meng Po's house and feed you a pot of Meng Po soup. I guarantee that you won't even know whether you are a human or a dog."

Li Xiang's expression finally changed. He rubbed his hands and looked at the old man with a flattering face: "Don't be angry, old man. Don't be angry. It's not good for your health. Look at me. I am the victim in this matter, right? I can't help feeling uncomfortable. What you proposed is certainly tempting, and they are all ways to be a winner in life, but what you said is just one step away."

The old man was a little confused: "Which step?"

"Meng Po soup, I know everything you said now, but when I drink Meng Po soup, I won't remember anything. What if you forget things? Then I will die in vain, right?"

Hearing this, the old man was unhappy: "Hey!? You have thought of everything, do you think I would lie to a mortal like you?"

"You are a deity, of course you won't cheat a mortal like me, but I was cheated so many times when I was alive that I'm suspicious. But old man, since you have so much magical power that you can give me so many talents for my next life, can you go to Meng Po and tell her that I won't drink Meng Po soup at that time? Or if you are busy, just give me a note and I will go and tell her."

The old man's mouth twitched with anger. It seemed that the boy still didn't believe him after all he said. He immediately wrote a note and threw it to Li Xiang: "I will come to pick you up and take you to reincarnation personally. If I don't come or forget, you can show this note to Meng Po and she will know. Are you satisfied with this?"

Li Xiang took the note and nodded repeatedly, then when the old man was about to leave, he said, "Now that this is settled, can I tell you what I want in my next life?"

"You..." The old man finally couldn't help it. After all, he had said so many good things, but this kid still thought it was not enough? There must be a limit to greed.

Li Xiang hurriedly stated his request before the old man exploded: "Wait a minute, old immortal. Actually, my request is very simple. I hope to be reincarnated into another world."

"Another world, you said you wanted to go to a foreign country?"

"No, no, no, it's another world, with magic, adventures and the like. This world is a little unfair, the income from mental labor and physical labor is not proportional. In ancient times, the income of generals and ministers in the court was similar. Although there was discrimination between them, in general, they were two different ways out. But in modern times, mental labor earns far more than physical labor, and physical labor that can make money is life-threatening, just like me.

So I want to go to a world where you can live easily and steadily, whether you rely on your brain or your body. Of course, it would be even better if there were magic and monsters, after all, I have only seen them in novels and games in my life. And most importantly, I hope to live an easy life, after all, I am exhausted to death. "

The old man stared at Li Xiang without saying anything. He turned his head and pondered for a long time before turning back and asking, "Do you really think so? Let me tell you first, if you want to go to another world, I can send you there, but none of the promises I made to you before will be fulfilled, which means you will just go there as a mortal. If you want luck or something like that, you can only pray that the gods of that world will give you some qualifications when you reincarnate. And I can't guarantee the easy life you mentioned. After all, the most I can guarantee you is that there is magic in that world, and your life will also depend on the gods of that world."

"That's all. As long as I can be reborn into my ideal world, then even if I'm a mortal, I should be able to live a stable and easy life. That's all."

"You are an interesting little guy. You give up being a winner in this world and go to another world to be an ordinary mortal. Okay, I promise you. According to the procedure, you can vent your desires in this utopia first, and I will pick you up after you have vented them."
