Life Changing System

“You know the four-petaled dewdrop flower?”

After a while, Bai Chen suppressed his excitement and asked this.

Li Lin, who was at his side, breathed a sigh of relief that grandfather Lu knew the herb that Bai Chen wanted to buy for his mother.

The old man Lu Heng slowly nodded. “Of course I do. It’s an extremely poisonous herb.”

Bai Chen’s facial expression changed a little after hearing that.

“A poisonous herb?”

Not only Bai Chen’s change but Li Lin’s did as well. She quickly turned to Bai Chen because she did not believe that Bai Chen’s mother would want her son to buy her a highly poisonous herb.

“Yes. The four-petaled dewdrop flower is poisonous, even though the name may have a nice ring to it like it is not a highly poisonous herb,” the old man Lu Heng explained with a serious voice.

He stopped for a bit before continuing. His words were a question. “Will you tell me know what you’re using it for?”

“......”

No words came out from Bai Chen’s mouth because he did not expect that the four-petaled dewdrop flower, what the Life Changing System wanted him to search for, to be extremely poisonous.

It was completely beyond him!

However, even if it was highly poisonous, he still needed it. Otherwise, the only way left was to fail the mission.

Bai Chen started to think with a serious face. He was thinking about how to answer the old man Lu Heng.

About a minute passed. Bai Chen finally thought of something. “I want to use it.”

His answer made the old man Lu Heng’s eyebrows furrow tightly.

“Use it? How will you use it? Don’t you know that it’s become a forbidden herb? The government has put out a law to erase everything about it. They even changed the name from the ‘four-petaled dewdrop flower’ to the ‘four-petaled deadly poison flower’!”

Bai Chen listened to the old man and was surprised. How could he have known that the four-petaled dewdrop flower had now become a forbidden herb?

Moreover, the government issued a law against it and erased everything about it. They had even changed its name.

Bai Chen finally understood why he had not found anything about it on Baidu. It was because the government had erased it all.

“Bai Chen.” Li Lin started to get worried from the moment the old man said that the herb was extremely poisonous. She became even more agitated when Bai Chen said that he had to use it.

Her nervousness reached its peak when grandfather Lu talked about how the government had removed every bit of information about it from everywhere.

“What do you say? How will you use it?” the old man Lu Heng asked again after seeing Bai Chen go quiet.

Bai Chen did not how what to say. He could not think of anything to say.

Use? What would he use it for? He was only searching for it because that was what mission 30 had told him to do.

After finding out that it was extremely poisonous, he did not want to use it even a little bit. No, he had not wanted to use it in the first place.

“Forget about it. If it’s as like what you said, I don’t want it anymore.”

Finally, Bai Chen sighed and decided to fail the mission because he did not know what to say.

He did not have a good enough answer for the old man Lu Heng and he did not know where else to look for the herb.

​ If the government had issued laws about it, other herbal shops would be the same as this one. They would not want to sell it.

No, maybe they would not have it at all in the first place because it was a forbidden herb anyway.

The old man Lu Heng did not say anything more. He only nodded. He did not want Bai Chen to be involved with the four-petaled dewdrop flower.

“Li Lin, let’s go,” Bai Chen said to Li Lin. He thanked the old man Lu Heng and walked out of the shop.

Li Lin was stunned for a second. She finally said good-bye to grandfather Lu and thanked him before rushing out behind Bai Chen.

The old man Lu Heng nodded at Li Lin before he turned away. He looked at her…. No, he looked at Bai Chen and narrowed his eyes with ill intent.

“It’d be good if that young man stopped looking for the four-petaled dewdrop flower. He shouldn’t know that it’s now called the ‘floating flower’ and can be extracted into a kind of narcotic.”

The old man Lu Heng said this with a cold voice.

“Otherwise, he would surely die. I don’t want anyone to mess with my business!”

The old man’s face was cold. It was obvious that what he’d said to Bai Chen was all lies.

However, they were not complete lies. That the government had changed the herb’s name was true, but its name had been changed to the ‘floating flower’ instead of the ‘four-petaled deadly poison flower’ like he had said.

When he said that the government had erased everything about it and that it was a forbidden herb, those pieces of information were also true.

There were only a few people in China who still planted the herb.

That meant there were still some people who did it. Like this old man Lu Heng here, he was one of them. He had earned a great deal of money from throughout the years.

It was the reason why he acted like this.

He thought that maybe Bai Chen was searching for it because he knew something about him and his business.

However, when he had tested Bai Chen with the story that he’d made up about the name that had been changed to the four-petaled deadly poison flower, it had not seemed like Bai Chen knew anything about him, a man who was actually a major supplier in the four-petaled dewdrop flower market.

If Bai Chen knew, he would have noticed that the name was wrong.

He’d initially thought that he would send someone to kill Bai Chen, but he dropped the idea because Bai Chen did not seem to know anything.

However, if Bai Chen still wanted to find the herb, the old man would not hesitate to kill him!

The reason was simple. He was the only one in China who planted the herb at the moment. Knowing that someone was after it made him anxious.

Whoever looked for it had to die!

Everything was for the safety of the old man Lu Heng!
