Chapter 4 Random Mission - Arrogant Accident Scam

Cheng Yi's eyes, like those of a vigilant cheetah, cautiously scanned his surroundings. His gaze was like a searchlight, not missing any corner that might pose a danger.

However, apart from the raindrops falling like beads from the sky, the surrounding world was completely silent, with no other suspicious movement.

Raindrops pattered against the car windows and the ground, creating a sound that seemed to be the only background music in the world.

This was the first time in Cheng Yi's life that he had sat in the driver's seat, a position that was both unfamiliar and full of novelty to him.

His hands rested gently on the steering wheel as if it were a rare treasure, the movement as light as a gentle breeze.

His fingers slowly caressed the steering wheel, savoring its unique feel, as if touching a new and mysterious power. Every texture, every curve seemed to be telling him about the allure of driving.

Then, with a mix of curiosity and nervousness, he tentatively stepped on the brake pedal.

The pedal sank slightly under his feet, giving him a unique feedback.

Then, he carefully pressed the clutch, feeling its unique resistance. Strangely enough, even though he had never driven before, he didn't feel any unfamiliarity with operating these parts; instead, he was as skilled as a seasoned driver.

This wonderful feeling stirred an irrepressible excitement within him; his heart began to race, as if a surge of hot blood was coursing through his body, urging him to explore more of the mysteries of driving.

Just then, the system issued a notification: "Punisher, the system has detected numerous connections between this taxi and the real world, and is modifying the taxi's exterior and interior. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."

Cheng Yi stared intently ahead, his heart filled with curiosity and anticipation, wondering what the taxi would look like after the system modifications.

The raindrops continued to fall gently, hitting the car window with a soft sound, while Cheng Yi waited in this tranquil atmosphere for the taxi's complete transformation.

Suddenly, a white light flashed by, and in an instant, the entire taxi had completely changed its appearance.

Although it still looks like an ordinary taxi, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it is a brand new car.

Even the license plate was shiny and brand new, and the interior of the car had been completely white. This sudden change really startled Cheng Yi.

At this moment, a system notification sounded: "Punisher, the system has bound this taxi to the system, making it Punisher's exclusive vehicle. Punisher cannot discard it. After entering the movie world, this taxi will be automatically stored in Punisher's system inventory."

A thought suddenly popped into Cheng Yi's mind: Why not take it for a test drive? As soon as this thought arose, his hands and feet began to move involuntarily.

He first engaged the handbrake to prevent the vehicle from rolling, then fully depressed the clutch, shifted into neutral, and without pressing the accelerator, turned the key to start the engine. After successful ignition, he skillfully shifted into first gear, released the handbrake, slowly released the clutch, and gently accelerated, and the taxi smoothly departed—the whole process was seamless.

However, Cheng Yi was actually quite flustered inside, but strangely, his hands and feet were as steady as a mountain. It felt as if Cheng Yi was a complete bystander, quietly watching him drive.

Cheng Yi could even simply raise his head and look out the windshield.

Soon, Cheng Yi realized that it was clearly the system that was controlling his hands and feet to work, while his mind could be focused on something else entirely.

So, Cheng Yi reached out and turned on the electronic player on the right. The boot screen was extremely cool and instantly caught his eye.

When Cheng turned on the electronic player, the screen instantly lit up with a dazzling blue light, as brilliant as the aurora borealis.

As the light gradually faded, a three-dimensional mechanical gear pattern slowly emerged. The gear rotated continuously, emitting a crisp metallic sound, as if telling the story of the power of technology.

As the gears turned, streaks of silver light flashed across the screen like lightning, weaving together intricate and mysterious patterns.

Next, a huge word "Punisher" rose from the bottom of the screen in the form of flame effects, the burning flames radiating intense light, giving a strong visual impact.

Finally, the screen freezes, revealing a futuristic and technologically advanced boot screen that is truly breathtaking.

Upon closer inspection, this media player has quite a few movies and TV shows, divided into three main categories: movies, TV series, and animation. Hmm?? Animation too?? Could it be that it even has Ikkyu-san and the Calabash Brothers?

Cheng Yi opened the movie, which was divided into Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and the United States.

He went back to the mainland, and thought his categories would become action movies, police movies, suspense movies, etc., but to his surprise, it was actually a folder from 0 to 10.

It seems the system has already categorized all movies and TV series into different levels.

Cheng Yi entered the Level 0 folder, and lo and behold, it was empty! What happened? Were the files missing? Were they corrupted? Or did the mainland simply not have any Level 0 movies?

He exited the app, opened the TV series section, and saw that it was still categorized into five countries. He then entered the mainland China section, which was still 0-10. Unconvinced, Cheng Yi clicked on it again, and this time, there were indeed two TV series in it: "I Love My Family" and "Home with Kids".

Wow, I really didn't expect it to be these two. Well, I can understand, since they're level 0 plots, the safest level, so these two TV series are quite suitable.

Cheng Yi simply turned on Home with Kids and started watching.

Cheng Yi sat leisurely in the driver's seat, watching the TV series playing on the car's electronic player with great interest while driving.

Before he knew it, he had arrived at a semi-rural area. The streets here were a bit messy, but full of life.

A crowd had gathered at a street corner, and a cacophony of noise rose from the crowd. Cheng Yi pulled his car over to the side of the road.

He got out of the car, walked to the roadside, and sat down on the curb. Next to him was an old man in his fifties selling fruit, his stall filled with all kinds of fresh fruit.

The old man's eyes lit up when he saw Cheng Yi. He came over with a big smile and asked, "Boss, did you bring a guest here? Would you like to buy some fruit to try? It's all freshly arrived today!"

Upon hearing the old man's words, Cheng turned to look at the oranges and grapes laid out on the ground. The oranges were a bright yellow, gleaming with an enticing sheen, while the grapes resembled sparkling purple gems, piled together in a very tempting display.

He casually said, "Okay, weigh some of everything for me."

Upon hearing this, the old man's face lit up with joy, and he quickly walked to the stall. He carefully selected several large, yellow oranges for Cheng Yi, placing them gently in a plastic bag as if they were treasures.

After weighing the oranges, he picked out two bunches of plump, round grapes, weighed them on the scale, and then said to Cheng Yi with a smile, "Boss, that'll be twenty yuan in total."

Cheng Yi took out his phone, scanned the QR code to pay, but showed no intention of leaving. He casually peeled an orange, and the moment the peel was torn open, a refreshing fragrance wafted out.

As he ate an orange, he gestured with his chin towards the noisy crowd across the street and asked, "What's going on there? Why is it so noisy?"

The old man glanced in the direction Cheng Yi indicated, his smile vanished instantly, and he quickly looked away, shaking his head. He muttered, "Sigh, another unlucky guy being scammed. This kind of thing happens quite often here, it's really pitiful." He then sighed helplessly.

System notification: Random task: Arrogant staged accident.

Punisher, teach those who stage accidents a lesson with your actions! After completing the mission, you'll be rewarded with varying amounts of life time based on the punishment the staged accident perpetrator receives. (Don't worry, as long as the system doesn't allow it, no one can catch you.)

Cheng Yi couldn't help but feel secretly pleased, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

He casually tossed the two plastic bags containing fruit into the passenger seat, then, holding the freshly peeled orange in his hand, he strolled slowly toward the crowd.

As he approached, he saw a brand-new car parked in the middle of the crowd. Under the sunlight, the car body reflected a dazzling light, indicating that it had only been on the road for a short time.

A young driver stood beside the car, his brow furrowed, his face a mixture of anxiety and helplessness. His lips trembled slightly, as if he had a bellyful of grievances but didn't know where to begin.

Not far from the car, an old woman was lying on the ground.

She was lying on the ground throwing a tantrum, her voice so loud it seemed to shake the entire street.

The old woman yelled at the top of her lungs, "Ouch, it hurts so much! You young man, don't you watch where you're driving? You hit me! My leg is broken, and now my whole body aches!"

She shouted and pounded the ground with her hands. Her wrinkled face was full of pain, and she looked pitiful. Anyone who didn't know her would probably feel sorry for her.

The young driver, his face flushed, hurriedly protested, "I didn't hit you at all! I've always been very careful while driving, every move I make is cautious, how could I possibly have hit you?"

A hint of helplessness flickered in his eyes as he scanned the surrounding crowd, hoping someone would believe him.

However, the people around seemed to be driven by some force and began to criticize the driver.

One of them frowned and said sternly, "Look how badly this old lady is injured, and you still won't admit it? You have no conscience at all."

Another person chimed in, "That's right, that's right. What are you still arguing about? Hurry up and take the old lady to the hospital. Don't delay her treatment."

Everyone was talking at once, their words like sharp blades piercing the young driver, as if in their eyes the driver had truly committed an unforgivable crime.

Faced with the overwhelming accusations from the crowd, the driver's face turned red with anxiety, like an ant on a hot pan. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the ground, just like his shattered hopes.

Cheng Yi watched all this quietly from the side. His gaze was carefully scrutinizing the old woman lying on the ground, not missing a single detail. He also secretly memorized the appearance, expressions, and tone of voice of the people around who were helping the old woman, as if he were collecting some important information.

He then quietly slipped away, disappearing from the crowd, leaving the chaotic scene to continue unfolding on the street corner.

Cheng got into a taxi and waited for the matter to be resolved. After the young driver paid him several thousand yuan in compensation, the crowd let him go.

Watching the driver drive away, the old woman straightened up from the ground and stood up. Then, the crowd slowly dispersed.

Cheng Yi drove off in a taxi in a flash.

He wandered around outside, found a small restaurant and ate some rice with toppings. Seeing that it was almost time, he went back to the street where the staged accident had happened. He saw the old woman scanning the surroundings again, as if choosing a target.

A cold laugh welled up in Cheng Yi's heart, a laugh devoid of any warmth, as if it were a chilling wind blowing from the depths of hell.

His eyes held a resolute look as he slowly started the car again and drove around the neighborhood once.
