You Are Not of This World

Returning to the rented apartment.

Looking at the virtual roulette displayed before his eyes, An Yi didn't hesitate and directly chose to spin.

The pointer rotated on the wheel, spinning continuously.

"Click!"

The roulette pointer stopped.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a career selection opportunity!"

An Yi was slightly stunned. In front of him were three choices:

1. Healer

2. Chef

3. Singer

The singer option was immediately ruled out by An Yi.

Although singers held a respectable status in this world, having come from another world, An Yi felt it was unnecessary for him.

Being a chef had its uses, but not significant enough.

He was never one for indulgence; as long as food filled his stomach, he didn't care about the difference between shark fin, bird's nest, and instant noodles.

That left the healer option.

An Yi glanced at the description.

【Healer】

Career Introduction: Doctor

The introduction was as brief as ever.

After a moment of contemplation, An Yi chose the healer profession.

Overall, it held the highest value.

Everyone gets sick or injured at some point, especially someone like him who carries the Rogue System.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the 【Healer】 profession!"

【Healer Lv1】

Career Introduction: Capable of treating various illnesses and injuries, can be upgraded using Rogue Points.

The description was vague.

At least to An Yi, it seemed perfunctory.

But the fact that it could be upgraded using Rogue Points was a good thing.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

An Yi watched as Shen Muxuan devoured the buns across the table and couldn't help but chuckle.

To this day, he couldn't understand how someone with such a slender figure could eat so much.

Was this the fifth basket of buns already?

"You should eat too."

Shen Muxuan handed him a bun.

An Yi took it, took a bite, and asked softly, "Weren't you scared earlier?"

"Why would I be scared? You were teaching those bad guys a lesson, and they were threatening you."

Shen Muxuan replied earnestly.

Before entering the secular world, she had witnessed too much bloodshed and cruelty. Compared to that, An Yi breaking someone's leg was child's play.

An Yi shrugged and changed the subject, "Why can you eat so much?"

"Because spiritual energy is too scarce, so I have to replenish it through food."

Shen Muxuan held buns in both hands, taking bites alternately, her mouth stuffed full.

Spiritual energy?

What the heck!

An Yi couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you come here?"

This was something he should have asked when they first met yesterday.

But back then, his mind was clouded by the "Romance Expert" mission, and he forgot to ask.

"My master sent me here."

Shen Muxuan wiped her hands, rolled up her sleeves, and revealed her jade-like wrist to An Yi, "I don't have much time left. Look."

On her fair arm was a faint red line, almost invisible.

"What's this?"

An Yi asked, puzzled.

Shen Muxuan smiled faintly, "The Heavenly Yin Meridian. If I can't find a cure, I'll die. My master said my time is almost up."

Even though she knew she was facing death, Shen Muxuan remained cheerful.

"So, I wanted to see the secular world before I die. I've heard stories about it for eighteen years. Since I was a child, adults always said it was a wonderful place."

"Disappointed, aren't you?"

An Yi took a sip of water and said.

This world was more developed than he had imagined. He once thought that as long as people had enough food and clothing, they would naturally be happy.

But after coming here, he realized that even with plenty to eat and drink, unhappy people remained unhappy.

Shen Muxuan shook her head, "Not at all. I've met Aunt Zhou, and I've met you. I've learned about TVs, phones, and electric lights. Even the buns here are especially delicious."

An Yi chuckled, his voice calm yet firm, "Don't worry, you won't die. Because I'm here!"

He still hadn't fully figured out the Rogue System's capabilities.

But one thing he was sure of: the Rogue System was definitely not simple! There was a high probability it could cure Shen Muxuan's condition.

Shen Muxuan paused mid-bite, looking at him in surprise.

"Why are you so nice to me? Is it because you like me?"

Hearing this flirtatious question and staring at Shen Muxuan's stunningly beautiful face, An Yi's heart raced uncontrollably.

Truth be told, he had never been in a relationship before!

This girl was so pretty and adorably naive. Maybe she'd be easy to win over...

"Would you like to have a boyfriend in the secular world?" An Yi asked seriously.

"No!"

Shen Muxuan shook her head like a rattle-drum.

Then, she casually picked up a glass cup and crushed it with a crisp sound.

"My master said that anyone who brings this up is a sleazy scoundrel and deserves to have their head smashed!"

An Yi: "..."

"What's wrong?"

Shen Muxuan asked curiously, noticing An Yi's pale face.

An Yi's lips twitched, "Nothing."

This girl was strange, everything about her was unusual.

What normal girl could crush a glass cup with her bare hands!

He was starting to seriously doubt that if he hadn't intervened earlier when dealing with Brother Long, Shen Muxuan could have handled it herself!

"You don't seem to be from this world either. Why are you here?"

Shen Muxuan bit into her bun, looking at him with innocent curiosity.

An Yi was thunderstruck, frozen in place.

"How... how do you know?"

He wasn't from this world—this was a secret. No one else knew, and it was absolutely forbidden to reveal it to anyone.

So how did this girl know?

Shen Muxuan explained, "That night, I saw the dreams in your mind... They were terrifying! The place you dreamed of had a huge red moon and a towering bronze pagoda. This world doesn't have those."

An Yi pondered for a moment. This girl's secrets might be no fewer than his own.

"Don't tell anyone about this. Not a soul!" An Yi said sternly.

Shen Muxuan nodded seriously, smiling, "Mm-hmm, my master also told me not to talk about my world or reveal her existence."

An Yi: "..."

In the time it took to eat a bun, you almost spilled your master's entire backstory!

He suddenly felt a bit panicked.

If this girl's mouth was really this loose, would everyone know about this by tomorrow?

"From today on, don't mention anything about us. Don't ask, don't tell. Pretend it never happened. Understood?"

An Yi stepped forward, his imposing presence making Shen Muxuan drop her bun. She swallowed hard and nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

To her, An Yi's words echoed her master's instructions, and she had already promised to keep it secret.

"Phew!"

An Yi let out a slight sigh of relief.

He wasn't too worried about Shen Muxuan spreading the word. After all, few people would believe it.

Most people in this generation grew up under the red flag, wearing red scarves, and wouldn't buy into such fantastical tales.

"Can I ask one last question?"

Shen Muxuan looked at him with pleading eyes, asking timidly.

"Finish your bun!"

Seeing An Yi roll his eyes, Shen Muxuan quickly added, "I promise, it's the last one."

An Yi sighed, "Go ahead."

Shen Muxuan's eyes lit up, "What's your purpose for coming to this world?"

An Yi replied offhandedly, "No purpose. Just find a simple, easily fooled woman, get married, have kids, and grow old together."

"Oh, then I have nothing else to ask."

Shen Muxuan seemed a bit disappointed and went back to eating her bun.

An Yi smiled faintly.

A peaceful life? That was impossible for him.

He needed to grow stronger quickly—strong enough to return to that world!

There was still so much he had to do!

"Ding! The Chosen One has been suppressed for 4 hours. Reward: 4 Rogue Points!"

The system's voice suddenly rang out, leaving An Yi momentarily stunned.
