Chapter 17, 6th: For to everyone who has, more will be given, so that he may have abundance.
"No explanation? No hints?"
"This is the hint."
"Can I choose a clearer prompt?"
"There is no choice."
If the reward was something that could be given or not, she believed that Su Yi would definitely not give it to her.
"By the way, Lu Heng also received praise from the audience. Many people liked the scene where he negotiated with Wang Run for you. He will become even richer in the next chapter of his life."
He's already very wealthy; if he continues to be rewarded, he'll be richer than a country. Not only that, Lu Heng is also very healthy and has a pleasing appearance. It truly reminds one of the saying, "To everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away."
"Why is the reward I receive from the audience a few vague words, while they give him money?"
"Do you want me to convert your audience rewards into money? You've asked too many questions today, enough to use up all the opportunities you could have had in the past few days."
"This doesn't count as an interpretation of the rules; you should have explained it to me clearly. As for converting the reward into money, that's unnecessary."
Although money is important, it would be difficult for her to accumulate enough to rival Lu Heng in a short period of time. Even if she could, building connections and resources would be difficult overnight. It would be better to have something that could be used. Although she didn't know the meaning of those words yet, she was sure they would come in handy after her rebirth.
Su Yi, presumably to show fairness, snorted and explained, "Viewers' donations will automatically be converted into rewards once they accumulate to a certain level. What exactly you get depends entirely on luck."
"Luck... Could you tell me what types there are, and the probability of each type appearing?"
"Do you think I'm a game company? If you don't want it, I can help you take it back."
"I need a clue, thank you for your kindness!"
Wen Xu never pinned her hopes on luck. As she pondered the clues, she surveyed the white room, showing no fear whatsoever.
No one dared to ignore him once they entered the room. Su Yi recalled what his teacher had said: sometimes, when people are extremely afraid, they are unaware of their fear until they make a mistake and then regret it. He began to adjust his voice, adopting a tone of earnest persuasion.
"This is your sixth life, and I have high hopes for you. You are special. Many protagonists fall into chaos after being reborn; they desperately try to commit suicide or become mentally unstable and unable to continue living. Such people don't deserve to be protagonists; at best, they're just characters who survive for 25 minutes in a variety show. Only you. Despite breaking the rules, you returned to reality TV and became more and more interesting."
Because I want to see your flawless expression shattered, I want you to watch your hard-earned reality show crumble, and I will never admit defeat until then.
Wen Xu's smile was faint, and Su Yi suddenly felt that the smile was very familiar. He couldn't imagine that it was exactly the same as the smile he had when he first met Wen Xu. There was a smile on his face, but no real joy.
Su Yi was taken aback. "You've never truly reflected on your own shortcomings even once."
Wen Xu replied, "Why should I reflect on my actions? It was Lu Heng who killed me first. He always insults and tramples on me. If I don't fight back, he will only kill me again and again."
Su Yi was at a loss for words. He actually agreed with Wen Xu's idea, after all, "the only lesson that mankind has learned from history is that mankind has never learned any lessons from history."
Su Yi sensed a threat emanating from her. He was actually troubled by a woman on the show; he loathed his own emotions. He subconsciously wanted to increase the difficulty of the reality show, to see her beg for mercy before him, to hear her say she'd do anything. But time and space didn't allow him to increase the difficulty multiple times in a short period—what a pity.
Wen Xu felt a lightness in her body; she was about to be reborn again. Not wanting to waste the opportunity to ask Su Yi a question today, she asked, "Does Lu Heng know he can be reborn?"
"He doesn't know that he has no memory of his previous lives; each life is unique to him."
Because he lacked experience, he made the same choices every time: coercing her, humiliating her, and ultimately unable to resist killing her. But she was different; she would grow stronger and stronger. Lu Heng was no longer her everything; the woman in plain clothes before her was the enemy she had to defeat.
A white light appeared before her eyes again, and along with the white clothes and silver hair, it slowly disappeared in front of her.
When she woke up, she sat on a very hard chair, her back straight. In front of her was a long table, and at the end of the table sat a woman with exquisite makeup. She was Lu Heng's mother, Xia Ziling.
Memories flooded Wen Xu's mind instantly. Today, under Lu Heng's guidance, Wen Xu met his family. If the meeting went smoothly, the two would get engaged in a month.
At the same time in their first lives, both of them got married. Because of the changes she made in her previous life, Wen Zeyu hasn't been deceived yet, and Wen Xu hasn't asked Lu Heng for help to pay off Wen Zeyu's debts. She has also lost her reason to marry Lu Heng as soon as possible. However, Lu Heng said that his family and friends all want to meet her.
When Wen Xu arrived, he realized that it was an interview conducted by relatives and friends.
If it were the current Wen Xu, she would definitely find a chance to refuse this meeting. In this memory, every bite she ate was hard to swallow, and every fake smile she saw was nauseating.
The only thing that made her happy was that she was wearing a black tracksuit. Last time, she wore a black fitted dress and was repeatedly questioned about where she bought it and whether she had bought a fake. She was really pitiful... Now she glanced at the women around the round table. They were wearing tight-fitting dresses that were expensive but dared not be too flashy, so as not to outshine Xia Ziling. They could only come together to see Wen Xu.
"Why didn't Lu Heng come? He's the one who invited me."
Lu Heng should be riding horses at the horse farm with his cronies right now. Wen Xu asked on purpose; if he wanted to give Lu Heng a hard time, he should come himself. What kind of man sends his mother, sisters, and cousins?
"Xuxu and Aheng have such a good relationship; they already miss each other after only a short time apart. But Aheng will be very busy with work in the future, so you still need to have your own life."
Xia Ziling's words sounded plausible, but Wen Xu didn't believe a word she said. When Lu Heng beat her until she miscarried, Xia Ziling insisted that Wen Xu had framed Lu Heng. She claimed Wen Xu had gonorrhea, making her pregnancy highly unstable, and that Lu Heng's anger upon discovering he'd been deceived led to the beating, causing the miscarriage. To support her story, Xia Ziling actually infected Wen Xu with gonorrhea. This completely broke Wen Xu's already fragile health. Upon hearing the news of Wen Xu's miscarriage, Su Yuelan was admitted to the emergency room that same day and never woke up again.
