Miler, who has a system for giving up

Chapter 7 An Encounter with Him

I woke up exceptionally early today; when I checked my phone, it was only 5:31 AM.

There are two reasons why I woke up early. One is because there are two big wolfhounds in the parking lot across the street from my window. I don't know if they were fighting or fighting over food, but they were barking like wolves.

On the other hand, it's probably because he's so happy and excited about leaving this home soon. His body is in a state of heightened excitement, and the spiritual energy within him has become even more concentrated after last night's cultivation.

I got out of bed, changed into my workout clothes, washed up, tied my hair, and put on my sneakers. I took the elevator downstairs, walked to the nearby park, walked onto the rubber track, stretched, and started my morning run, adjusting my breathing as I ran.

It took me about 25 minutes to run one lap. Then I walked to a relatively open area, stopped to stretch, and prevented over-running and muscle strain.

After stretching, I slowly walked home. When I got close to the park gate, I saw two groups of uncles and aunts. The uncles were practicing Tai Chi sword, and the aunts were dancing with fans.

Just as I was getting a little engrossed in what I was watching, I suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching. I looked around warily and saw a figure walking towards me.

It was a mysterious figure wearing a black T-shirt and a hat, his steps light as if unaffected by gravity. As he drew closer, I could see his face clearly; it was a young and handsome face, his eyes revealing a profound light.

He looked at me, a slight, almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips. "Hello, cute little sister," he said, his voice deep and resonant. I froze, then asked nervously, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

He smiled and replied, "I'm just a passerby. I sensed some strange spiritual energy fluctuations here, so I came to investigate. I never expected to encounter you." He paused, then continued, "The spiritual energy around you is very pure; you must be someone who has achieved some success in cultivation."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, and a ball of green light appeared in his hand.

I stared at him in astonishment, my heart filled with curiosity. This was an ability I had never seen before. Could he be a powerful cultivator? Just as I was pondering this, he gently waved the ball of green light, and a wave of green light swept towards me.

My instinct was to dodge, but it was too late...

The green light landed on my ankle, but instead of the pain I expected, a fiery power enveloped the old injury there. Gradually, the temperature dropped, and as I circulated my spiritual energy to my ankle, I found that the old injury had healed.

He wasn't trying to hurt me; instead, he was healing my old injury. How did he know I had an old ankle injury? Did he have a healing ability? Why was he healing my old injury? One question after another popped into my head. His handsome face still held a faint smile as he looked at me gently, as if waiting for me to ask him.

I took a deep breath, composed myself, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you treating my foot injury?"

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I mean no harm. I'm just someone with special healing abilities. I sensed something unusual about the spiritual energy in you when I passed by, so I came to check on you. As for your foot injury, it might just be my intuition, or perhaps it's fate."

Hearing his explanation, I relaxed slightly, but remained wary. "How do you possess such healing abilities? And why are you helping me?"

He sighed softly and said, "My background is rather complicated, and I can't tell you too much for now. But I'm helping you because I think you're special. Perhaps we'll meet again in the future, and you'll understand then." With that, he turned and left, leaving me standing there lost in thought.

I watched him leave, my heart filled with doubt and curiosity. Who exactly was he? Why did he possess such miraculous healing abilities? What did he mean by saying we would meet again? These questions lingered in my mind, leaving me unable to find peace for a long time.

A pleasant ringtone sounded; it was Mom calling. "Lele, I called you for dinner, but you haven't come down for ages. I went upstairs to open the door, but you weren't home. Where are you now? Ask when you'll be home. Dinner's ready, come back and eat!"

"Mom, I'm at the park across from our house. I just finished my run and I'm heading home now. You guys go ahead and eat, don't wait for me."

After hanging up the phone, I took out my phone at the park entrance, scanned a shared bike, and sped home. There weren't many people on the road. Luckily, it was Saturday, and students were home from school; otherwise, the streets would be busiest at this time.

I rushed home in 5 minutes, just in time to find that my parents hadn't gone out to buy groceries yet. I took a cold shower upstairs, changed into dry pajamas, went downstairs to my parents' bedroom, and sat on the stool in front of the dressing table.

After gathering her composure and gathering her emotions, she began to speak: "I went for interviews at two companies yesterday, and the salaries and benefits were about the same. However, working at an advertising company would be very tiring, and my current health isn't suitable for prolonged periods of mental and physical exertion. The other company is relatively easier, and the only downside is that it's a bit far from home."

Mom asked, "So, have you decided which company you want to work for?"

"I've already replied to the email. I'm going to a computer company. The data analyst job is relatively easy. As for the drawback of the long commute, the company provides accommodation and meals. There are dormitories and a canteen. The dormitory is in the building behind the company building, which is quite close. I want to stay in the dormitory so I don't have to waste time commuting every day."

Hearing this, Dad asked, "So when are you planning to move to the dormitory? How many people will share a room? Can you get used to the food in the cafeteria? Your stomach isn't good. Why don't you run around every day? If you don't want to run around, I'll drive you there and back. That way we'll feel more at ease living at home, and you can eat more comfortably."

After listening to his series of questions, I initially thought it wasn't impossible. But after hearing the last few sentences, I remembered that the girl had also been misled by his sweet words, but when she actually needed his help, she didn't do what he said she would do.

"I plan to come back and move into the dormitory on Monday after work. I will pack my things tomorrow to make it easier to move. I have also inquired about the dormitory; it is one room per person, and the company will subsidize the dormitory fee from my salary."

I've seen the food in the cafeteria; it's clean and tidy, and there are a lot of people eating there. It's really too far from our home; commuting back and forth is a waste of time, and it'll be exhausting every day. I'll eventually get sick from all that exhaustion. You all know my health; when I'm sick, it takes me a week to recover.”

Thinking about the girl's memories, he found the best reason to refuse him.

"Alright, go eat your breakfast first, or it'll get cold. The rice is in the pot, help yourself, and the dishes are on the table in a big bowl upside down, so they shouldn't be cold yet. We'll discuss it and let you know the answer in a bit. When you leave, please close the door behind you."

I left their bedroom and closed the door behind me. Sitting in the dining room, eating a warm breakfast, I could faintly hear soft conversation coming from the bedroom. My current cultivation level is Foundation Establishment, and my hearing and perception are far beyond what ordinary people can handle. What they thought was very quiet was as clear to me as if I were sitting right outside their door.

"Are you really going to make Lele move to a new dorm?"

"I don't want to either, and I'm worried, but what Lele said makes a lot of sense."

"Why don't you take her to work for a few days first, and if it really doesn't work, then you can move her?"

"Forget it, does gas money not cost anything? I can just go check on her near her company this afternoon. She's such a grown woman, can't she take care of herself?"

"Then drive me there this afternoon, I want to take a look too, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

The sounds behind me grew fainter; they had finished their conversation. There were also footsteps, so it seemed they were done talking and came out to tell me the result.

Mom opened the door, walked to the dining table, and sat down opposite me. "Lele, do you have any plans for this afternoon? Let's have your dad drive me over this afternoon so I can go and take a look. Otherwise, I'm worried and don't feel at ease."

He swallowed the last bite of fried pancake strips and finished the soy milk in his cup. He replied, "Okay, then we'll head out at 3 PM. We'll probably get there around 4:30 PM, when it won't be too sunny. Otherwise, if we go too early, it'll be hot and we might get heatstroke. I'll show you the surrounding area; it's quite nice, so you can rest assured. I'll go upstairs first to pack the things I need to take when moving into the dorm."

"Okay, go ahead. Leave the bowls here, I'll wash them all. Go pack your things first. Don't bring anything you don't need, otherwise it'll be heavy and hard to carry when you move them."

I nodded, put down my bowl and chopsticks, and turned to go upstairs.

Back in the bedroom, I opened the small wardrobe in the corner and took out all my summer and autumn clothes, including tops, coats, pants, skirts, underwear, briefs, base layers, socks, and a large travel bag. I neatly folded them, put them into the large travel bag, zipped it up, and placed the bag on the desk.

I packed some paper, pens, and a few computer books into my work bag, which I had prepared in advance the night before. After packing the bag, I placed it in the corner of my desk.

I had just sat down on the bed to rest for a while when I suddenly realized that I hadn't checked in today. I almost forgot.

After opening the system panel and clicking "Sign In," a system voice announced, "Congratulations, Master! You have successfully signed in for today. Having signed in for two consecutive days, you can receive 500 'Playboy Coins,' 5 Peach Fragments (collect 55 fragments to exchange for a complete Peach), and 3 Fragments of a 500-Year-Old Lightning-Struck Wooden Sword (collect 249 fragments to exchange for a 500-Year-Old Lightning-Struck Wooden Sword. Fortune: Excellent)."

Wow, there really is a consecutive sign-in reward! This luck is even special! No wonder I was so lucky today. First, I met that mysterious man who helped treat my old injuries, and my conversation with my parents went smoothly without us arguing. And this lightning-struck wooden sword is actually 500 years old! That's incredibly rare.

Looking at the system panel, he said to the system, "System, please store them all in my spatial pocket." "Yes, Master, they have all been successfully stored for you."
