Chapter 4: What is the role of the eldest brother(004)?
[Acknowledged a Big Brother. Task completed. Reward: Qi Yun 1 (Already Issued).]
As the two acknowledged each other, a checkmark appeared in Lin Bai’s mind for the Chief Supporting Role System’s initial task.
It turns out forming a sworn bond isn’t necessary? Is it really that casual? I didn’t even tell him my name! Does everyone in this world only know the number one? Doesn’t number two even deserve a name?
Lin Bai’s eyelids twitched violently as he complained silently.
His Qi Yun increased by one, but he didn’t feel any physical change. That makes sense. Qi Yun is such an illusory thing; if it manifested physically, it would be too fantastical. I can’t possibly walk around everywhere with the Purple Qi Coming From the East effect, can I? On Earth, people like Zhu Yuanzhang, a founding emperor with great Qi Yun, probably followed paths to success no different from ordinary people. However, coincidences like turning misfortune into fortune and finding good luck in crises should definitely be more frequent for them.
[Daily Task: Being a Big Brother in obscurity is futile. Following a coward will lead nowhere. The higher your Big Brother soars, the greater your rewards. Do one thing to help your Big Brother gain Fame. Reward: Qi Yun 1.]
The newly popped-up task, one after another, made Lin Bai sneer. The initial task to acknowledge a Big Brother was completed so easily. This made me realize that the Systems in my mind aren’t very strict in scrutinizing task results. Besides, I’ve found a shortcut to grind tasks, so I don’t mind these seemingly nonsensical task notifications. Gain Fame? Too simple.
Lin Bai looked at this convenient Big Brother before him and said sincerely, "Big Brother, do you trust me?"
"Of course," Crispy Rice smiled, replying perfunctorily, "We’re brothers, aren’t we?"
"Good brothers, for life," Lin Bai nodded earnestly. "Big Brother, trust me, everything I do is for your own good. As the sage said, ’When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a man, it first visits his mind and will with suffering...’"
"Such literary talent!" Crispy Rice’s eyes lit up, still reeling from the sage’s words.
