The end of the world starts with failing the exam

Chapter 7 The Weak Chicken of the World

What are the rewards for completing additional questions?

Some kind of extraordinary ability?

Or some weird weapons...equipment?

Chen Jing couldn't help but think of many materials from movies and novels.

Looking in front of me [Do you want to receive the reward now? ] option box, his heartbeat has begun to accelerate uncontrollably.

But he was still calm.

At least he decided to go home before accepting the reward.

Because he doesn't know what the reward will be, let alone how he will receive it.

If a piece of equipment really appeared out of thin air and was put on him...

Then maybe the next second, the good grandfather in this other world will notice something strange.

Don't look at this old man who opens his mouth to say "good scene" but shuts down "good grandson".

If this old man really finds out that he is not his grandson.

So what will he do?

Chen Jing really didn't dare to think about it.

Especially after the old man took him into the Sunset Red Community, Chen Jing felt that the decision he made was particularly wise...

……

Sunset Red Community is located at the deepest part of Dunwich Street.

There is only one building in the entire community.

Different from the dormitory building where Aunt Hong lives, it is a gray high-rise residential building.

The building is thirty stories high.

But only one house had lights on.

The moss-covered exterior wall exudes a decaying smell. The five large neon characters "Sunset Red Community" hung in the middle of the exterior wall keep flashing. The dim light, scarlet like blood, falls on the ground, struggling to illuminate their home. road.

Chen Jing looked at the high-rise building in front of him and suddenly had the illusion that he had entered the post-millennium world from the 1980s.

After entering the community gate, Chen Boxu slowed down and walked slowly side by side with Chen Jing.

Chen Jing looked around as he walked.

In fact, this is not much of a community. Not only is there limited internal greening, but the only public activity space is the lonely community square in front of you.

The front of the community is next to a curb, and the back is close to a river.

That should be considered a river, right?

Or Jiang?

Maybe it's a lake?

Chen Jing couldn't see clearly.

The moon's strange smile was reflected in the dark water.

You can't even see the other side of the river.

Chen Jing glanced at it casually for a few times and then looked away, for fear of revealing that it was his first time here.

As soon as I entered the unit door, six strong men in cleaning clothes walked towards me.

These strong men seemed to be carved out of the same mold. They were all about 2.4 to 2.5 meters tall. Their exaggerated muscles stretched the loose cleaning clothes to the limit.

The leading cleaning lady seemed to know Chen Boxu and hurried over with a piece of paper.

"Old man, we have finished cleaning up. There are thirteen in total. I will give you the recycling price according to the market price. You should be able to receive it tomorrow morning..."

"You don't have to pay so much." Chen Boxu waved his hand, but it was easier to talk to than Chen Jing expected, "You guys have spent a lot of effort cleaning, so just give me 10% off the market price."

"What is it?" Chen Jing asked curiously, looking at the trolley dragged behind the strong men. There were several extra-large white plastic bags stuffed on it, and he didn't know what they contained.

"Property." Chen Bofu bared his teeth and said, "They came to trouble me again this afternoon, saying that I ruined their jobs, and then they started to quarrel, and then they started fighting again..."

"Are you cannibalizing again?" Chen Jing asked tentatively.

"No, no!" Chen Bofu suddenly shook his head like a rattle, and swore to the sky that he would listen to his grandson's words and change his taste. "I just killed them all casually, and I could still make a fortune by packaging the bodies and selling them to the cleaners."

Hearing this, the leading cleaner suddenly sighed.

"Old man, can you please take it easy next time? It's all so messy that it's stuck on the floor and you can't pick it up. It took me a long time to shovel it away..."

Oh.

That's it.

Chen Jing calmly took another step to the side, secretly putting a little distance away from Chen Bofu.

No wonder there was a trace of blood in those plastic bags, they turned out to be filled with human body parts...

"It's good if they all die, it's a clean death!"

When Chen Bofu took Chen Jing to the elevator, he was still scolding the property staff who did nothing but collect money. There was a hint of cruelty in Chen Jing's kind face that made Chen Jing's hair stand on end.

"Jing Jingqian used to persuade me not to argue with them, but do you think they are just trying to get something wrong?"

"Well, yes!" Chen Jing wisely chose to side with Chen Boxu. He didn't want to be put in a plastic bag. "Grandpa makes sense!"

"Hey, you kid is enlightened!"

Chen Bofu glanced at Chen Jing in surprise, and touched his head with both relief and emotion.

"Grandpa, I hate being deceived the most. Those dog real estate companies are all fucking liars. They said they would give me a job to support me in retirement, but in the end they asked me to go on patrol 24 hours a day. They are really..."

"Ah... did you get into a fight because of this?"

"if not?"

With a ding, the elevator reached the sixteenth floor.

Chen Bofu walked out of the elevator door first, while Chen Jing followed him cautiously, listening to him seeming to be still angry and still cursing.

"Everyone who lied to me should die!"

"..."

Chen Jing listened with fear to the old man's words "Death to liars" and silently wrote down his house number 1605.

After entering the house.

Chen Jing discovered that this is the most common house type in the real world with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms.

The overall decoration style looks quite old-fashioned, a bit like the Chinese style around 2000. The overall feeling is a bit depressing, but...at least it's normal.

At least it's much better than Aunt Hong's "living dormitory building".

After returning home.

Chen Bofu went to the bathroom to wash his face first. When he came out, Chen Jing had already taken out the cake from the refrigerator and was sitting at the dining table waiting like a caring and obedient grandson.

"So fully prepared?" Chen Bofu walked over with a smile on his face, sat opposite Chen Jing, and then asked doubtfully, "Why don't you put in a candle?"

"Waiting for you to do it." Chen Jing replied calmly, perfectly concealing his guilty conscience, "This is called a sense of ritual!"

Chen Bofu said oh, casually opened the birthday candle that came with the cake, thought about it and finally inserted a candle in the middle of the cake.

Then he snapped his fingers and the candle lit up instantly.

After the lights were turned off, the living room was extremely dark, with only the dancing firelight reflecting on the faces of the old man and the young man.

Chen Jing didn't dare to say anything, or even sing a birthday song, because he didn't know how his previous "self" celebrated the old man's birthday, let alone whether the birthday song in this other world was the same as the one he sang. …

"Another year old..."

Chen Bofu sighed sadly. The weak firelight illuminated his face, and his expression seemed unhappy.

"Grandpa doesn't know how many more years he can stay with you..."

Hearing this, Chen Jing quickly began to sort out his thoughts in his mind, intending to comfort this old man who was lamenting that he was "sorrowful for a moment in my life and envious of the endless Yangtze River."

But what he didn't expect was that Chen Bofu's next words silenced him.

"You only have a few decades to live. What will grandpa do when you leave..."

"Then I'll try to live a few more years." Chen Jing replied in a muffled voice, feeling that the old man was panicking when he spoke.

"There's no point in trying hard!"

Chen Bofu felt sad for a moment. He held the paper crown with "Happy Birthday" written on his head in pain and burst into tears.

This performance made Chen Jing a little overwhelmed, because he had never seen his grandfather cry before, and he couldn't even imagine it.

"A man with white hair gives a gift to a man with black hair... I never thought that I would also have such a day..."

While crying, Chen Bofu picked up a plastic knife and started cutting the cake. He didn't even feel like singing happy birthday anymore. He first cut a small piece for himself, and then pushed the rest in front of Chen Jing.

"I don't know how your parents gave birth to you! Your physique is so poor! You can't even compare to a fucking ordinary person!"

Chen Bofu cursed while eating the cake, and occasionally sniffed with red eyes.

"If your kid dies, no one will take care of me in the future. How pitiful it would be for me to be all alone..."

After hearing what Chen Boxu said, Chen Jing probably went through some details of his identity.

in this world.

I... no, it should be my previous self, which seems to be a weakling.

Not as buggy as Aunt Hong and her son.

Not even comparable to ordinary aborigines.

"That's right." Chen Bofu seemed to suddenly remember something. He raised his head and looked at Chen Jing with a complicated expression, "Don't go to the doctor for medical treatment in the future. You are not sick at all. Who will say that you are mentally abnormal in the future..."

After saying that, Chen Bofu took a vicious bite of the cake.

"Tell me and I'll kill him!"

"Actually, I'm not sick..." Chen Jing recalled the contents recorded in the diary and said calmly, "I found that I have been a little forgetful recently...I can't recall many things..."

"Oh?"

Chen Bofu looked at Chen Jing seriously and pointed at himself tentatively.

"Then do you remember who I am?"

"You are my grandfather!" Chen Jing replied without knowing why.

"That's alright. If you're forgetful, just be forgetful. Anyway, as long as you can remember me as grandpa!"

Chen Bofu smiled very freely, not taking Chen Jing's words seriously at all, and then took the cake placed in front of Chen Jing back to himself.

"I almost forgot, you don't like this taste."

"..."

After washing.

Chen Jing pretended to yawn and prepared to go back to his room to sleep, but at this moment he suddenly remembered the gift that Aunt Hong asked him to bring to the old man.

That unique large intestine sashimi.

When Chen Jing took out the bag of fresh semen from his backpack like a treasure, Chen Bofu was stunned.

“I am !”

"It's up to you to take care of other people's wishes." Chen Jing put the plastic bag into Chen Boxu's hand, letting him handle it by himself.

Chen Bofu thought for a moment.

Then he walked to the window and opened it.

He threw the plastic bag down from the 16th floor very coolly.

There was a bang.

There was a lot of cursing downstairs.

"Who the f*ck threw it!"

"Do you have the qualities to throw objects at high altitudes? You..."

Hearing several people cursing downstairs, Chen Bofu, to Chen Jing's surprise, did not curse back. Instead, he picked up the three-seater solid wood sofa in the living room with one hand and planned to throw it from the window.

"Forget it, let's not take advantage of it." Chen Jing quickly stopped him and persuaded him earnestly.

Chen Bofu refused to listen and was still very stubborn and wanted to throw the sofa out and kill the trash talkers downstairs.

"It's quite expensive..." Chen Jing had an idea and changed his words.

Chen Bofu glanced at the sofa hesitantly and decided to listen to his grandson's opinion.

"My grandson still manages the household well..."

Chen Jinggang heard him sigh, and then found that the old man in front of him had disappeared.

Yes.

The old man jumped directly from the sixteenth floor.

After Chen Jing came to his senses, he hurriedly ran to the balcony and held on to the railing to look down. Unfortunately, it seemed to be foggy at night, and he couldn't see anything clearly from the gray sky below.

I could only occasionally hear the old man swearing a few curse words, mixed with a few unfamiliar screams.

Two minutes later.

The door behind Chen Jing rang.

Chen Bofu walked in covered in blood, with a sinister look on his face that made people dare not look directly at him. He was holding an old-fashioned mobile phone with a black and white screen in his hand, and was making a call to the cleaner whom he had just met before.

After relieving his anger, Chen Bofu still spoke concisely and to the point.

"It's me again, here at the same place, here to collect the bodies."

"..."

Although Chen Jing once speculated from the contents of those diaries that his grandfather in this world should be a very vigorous person.

But he really didn't expect him to be so fierce.

And so cruel.

This means that if you disagree, you will be killed!

"Grandpa, I'm going to bed..."

"Go on, dear grandson. Grandpa will prepare delicious food for you tomorrow morning!"

……

I must not be exposed!

Chen Jing was lying on the bed in his bedroom and kept telling himself, even if he covered his head with a quilt, he still felt cold and shivering.

Of course, it could also be because of fear.

As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.

Although the old man is not an emperor, with him by his side, once his true identity is accidentally exposed...

Chen Jing felt that the cleaner's garbage bag was his only destination.

------------

[Would you like to receive your reward now? ]

[whether]

------------

The light curtain still appeared in front of Chen Jing's eyes. He hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to take advantage of the opportunity to be alone and quickly get the reward for the additional questions.

This is an exam.

So everyone should have a chance to pass.

The identity in the other world assigned to us by the examiner should not be the kind of person who is bound to die, so as long as we are careful and cautious, plus the help of some additional rewards... saving our lives shouldn't be a problem, right?

Chen Jing thought so.

When he tapped [Yes] on the light screen with his finger, the message on the light changed instantly.

------------

[In view of the excellent performance of candidate No. 0, the examiner <M> hereby awards an ancient relic [The Holy Grail of the Yellow King* (incomplete)] as a reward. Please click on the lower right corner to view the prize details...]

------------

[Ancient Relic·The Holy Grail of the Yellow King* (Incomplete)]

[Details: This is an ancient relic from the ruins of the Kakosa Church. According to legend, just by injecting the user's blood into the Holy Grail, you can...]

------------

Just when Chen Jing was concentrating on studying the "reward details", a gloomy voice suddenly came from beside him.

"My dear grandson, what are you looking at?"

Hearing this inexplicably familiar voice, Chen Jing's expression instantly became frightened. When he looked back, he realized...

Chen Boxu didn't know when he had gotten into his bed.

Lying beside him silently.

It was very dark under the quilt.

But the old man's inhuman eyes were shining.

There was a coldness in Chen Jing's deep eyes that made Chen Jing's hair stand on end.

As sharp as a scraper.

It seemed that all the disguises on Chen Jing's body could be scraped off in just an instant...

"My dear grandson, what are you holding in your arms?"
