A King Summoner Travels Through the World of Ye Luoli
Chapter 5 The Mysterious Mission
"Ring ring~ Boom!"
"Yawn~"
Lu Zhaoran got out of bed to the sound of the alarm clock and thunder.
Good morning, host! Let's work hard to complete our tasks in this new day!
Lu Zhaoran was still brushing her teeth when she heard the system's affected voice.
"Speak, what's the mission?"
After spitting out the foam in his mouth and rinsing it with water, Lu Zhaoran asked directly.
Mission: Rescue the boy donated by the Lu family.
"What kind of mission is this? Who is that boy? Is he also a Ye Luoli warrior?"
Lu Zhaoran thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out who the boy was.
According to the original storyline, the Ye Luoli warriors who have not yet appeared are Gao Taiming and Mo Sha.
Neither of them needs the Lu family's help, especially Gao Taiming, the eldest son.
'Sorry, host, neither of us has the authority to know this.'
Lu Zhaoran was speechless upon hearing this answer.
"Sigh, I have to do a task on a perfectly good weekend. You know how to pick the time to assign this task to me on the weekend."
'Please rest assured, host, 250 is designed with exceptional user-friendliness in mind and will definitely assign you the right task at the right time and place.'
"Ha ha……"
Lu Zhaoran chuckled a few times but offered no comment.
After finishing breakfast, Lu Zhaoran asked the driver to take her to the place provided by the system.
"What kind of game is this anyway?"
As Lu Zhaoran stepped out of the car with his umbrella open, he looked at this dirty and dilapidated neighborhood, so out of place in the bustling city, and asked in bewilderment.
Lu Zhaoran had always thought he was playing a game where he leveled up and fought monsters, but now he saw the system quests as something out of a redemption strategy game.
'Sorry, host, you do not have sufficient permissions.'
One sentence was enough to kill the conversation.
"Then you could remind me in advance that this is the place we're coming to."
She was wearing an exquisite blue and white princess dress prepared by her aunt, her long black wavy hair was styled into a neat ponytail, she wore high heels studded with small diamonds, and the black umbrella she was holding was also obviously very expensive.
She looked out of place in this dilapidated neighborhood.
Whether in the past or after transmigrating to this other world, her life had always been one of wealth and elegance. She was used to dressing in the most luxurious clothes, but now she felt very embarrassed. People on the street were staring at her, making her uncomfortable.
"Luckily, there were fewer people on a rainy day."
Lu Zhaoran silently comforted herself.
'Hey, host, just bear with it, we'll be there soon.'
After turning a few corners, we finally arrived at the place the system had indicated.
Lu Zhaoran held the umbrella back and looked up, only to find a boy covered in injuries huddled in the dirty alley.
Lu Zhaoran walked to his side, and the black umbrella, as Lu Zhaoran moved, also shielded the boy curled up on the ground from the light rain.
Sensing the movement above him, the boy looked up.
Lu Zhaoran also took the opportunity to get a clear look at the boy's appearance.
His face was ordinary and unremarkable; he didn't look like the male protagonist in a redemption story.
Lu Zhaoran breathed a sigh of relief.
Picking up a man on the street is dangerous; picking up a handsome man on the street is even more dangerous.
'What exactly do you mean by this task?'
'Sorry, host, you do not have sufficient permissions.'
'...'
Seeing the system acting like an artificial idiot, Lu Zhaoran didn't ask any more questions. Without saying a word, he took the boy's hand and led him home in a car.
"Oh dear, who is this?"
The aunt who was doing housework saw Lu Zhaoran bring back a dirty boy and hurriedly went up to ask him what was wrong.
“This is a child my parents sponsored. He transferred to an elite primary school and had nowhere to live, so I took him to my home to stay for the time being.”
"Alright, then Miss, please take him to wash up first. I'll go prepare the child's daily necessities."
The aunt felt sorry for the little boy when she saw his condition, so she thought about giving him some help.
"Ah."
A short while later, the boy finished washing up, put on the clothes the aunt had prepared, and came out.
After Lu Zhaoran brought in the family doctor to treat his wounds, he pulled him aside for questioning.
"What's your name?"
Since Lu Zhaoran couldn't get any results from the system, he figured he might as well try to get some information out of the child.
"My name is Xiao An."
"Where are you from? Why are you standing in the rain? Where are your parents?"
Xiao An answered these questions timidly.
From his words, Lu Zhaoran learned that he was an orphan who had lived in an orphanage. He had escaped from the orphanage because he was bullied by the other children. The orphanage had been sponsored by the Lu family.
Lu Zhaoran frowned after hearing this.
She then made a phone call.
That was a phone call from someone at her parents' company in this world.
She briefly explained the situation to that person and asked him to handle the bullying at the orphanage. She didn't want the Lu family to sponsor a group of hooligans. Children who go astray should receive strict education to get back on the right path.
Incidentally, she also arranged for someone to help Xiao An obtain the necessary documents to transfer to Elite Elementary School so she could study there with her.
Since this person is related to the mission, she absolutely does not believe that he is an unimportant NPC.
After asking Xiao An for a while, he had the maid take him to a guest room to stay in.
Xiao An obediently followed the maid to the prepared room.
After the maid left, he reached out and gently stroked the items in the room.
It all felt like a dream.
He thought he was going to die in that alley, but just as he was waiting to die, the beautiful girl took him away from there before death itself.
He lay in bed, overwhelmed by exhaustion, and before he could think any further, he drifted off to sleep.
In his sleep, he clutched a pillow tightly, as if he wanted to hold onto this dreamlike, unreal day and never wake up.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhaoran was pondering the role of this seemingly ordinary yet extraordinary NPC.
"Congratulations, host! Mission complete. Rewards: 1000 Inscriptions, 1000 Gold Coins, 500 Diamonds, and 500 Points."
Before she could figure it out, she heard the sound of the system reward being credited to her account.
The reward was the same old thing, nothing special about it.
But Lu Zhaoran felt that this Xiao An was no ordinary person.
Lu Zhaoran thought for a long time, then gave up, took out his books, did some homework, and then continued cultivating.
"Miss, lunch is ready."
The maid's voice outside the door interrupted Lu Zhaoran's cultivation.
Lu Zhaoran got up and left the room. Passing by Xiao An's room, he called her up to have a meal together.
When they arrived at the dining table, Lu Zhaoran usually ate with the housekeeper while the other servants ate alone. Now, Xiao An was also at the table.
Lu Zhaoran noticed that there were more dishes than usual today, which she figured was because her aunt was kind and wanted to treat Xiao An well.
"Have some food."
Seeing the boy shoveling rice into his mouth without picking up any food, Lu Zhaoran knew he was shy, so she used serving chopsticks to pick up a lot of food for him.
"Your relevant documents will be processed and delivered tomorrow, and you can come with me to Elite Primary School the day after tomorrow."
While helping him pick up some food, Lu Zhaoran explained her arrangements.
"By the way, from now on your name will be Lu An. When you tell others, you will be my cousin. Your surname will be mine. My name is Lu Zhaoran."
Upon hearing this, Xiao An, who had been looking down, raised her head and paused for a moment in surprise.
"Don't just stand there, eat more."
Seeing that he had stopped eating, Lu Zhaoran reminded him again.
After the meal, to ease his awkwardness, Lu Zhaoran took him for a walk around the villa and the neighborhood so he could get familiar with the environment.
