My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing

Chapter 29 Evil Begets Evil (Part 1)

Standing still with his right hand in a plaster cast, Chen Yu watched his sniffling, tearful chubby neighbor and felt a surge of compassion, "My subject, please rise.""Yu, I'm really begging you here," the neighbor clung to Chen Yu's legs, "Stop tormenting me, will you? I was wrong to report you back then. Why don't you just take a piece of my kidney and sell it? Please, let me go. Will you?"

"Silly child," Chen Yu stroked the neighbor's head with his healthy left hand, "If I let you go, who else would let you go?"

"...Huh?"

"Great tasks are given to the worthy; first to toughen their resolve, toil their bodies, harm their wealth, and destroy their lives. I'm all doing this for your own good."

Having said that, Chen Yu paused for half a second before adding, "I've just memorized that these last couple of days."

"That's not the right quote..."

"Isn't it?" Chen Yu was startled, "What's the original version?"

The chubby neighbor knelt there, counting on his fingers as he recalled, "The original text should be 'Great tasks are given to the worthy; first to toughen their resolve, toil their... No, that's not what we're discussing right now! Can you please stop pestering me?"

"No," Chen Yu shook his head, firm in his stance, "You are the hope of our humanity; I can't just stand by and watch you continue to fall..."

Before Chen Yu could finish his sentence, the chubby neighbor suddenly got up and, like a man possessed, charged into the kitchen. After a hysterical

"Motherfucker, if the game developers knew their game could be played this poorly by you, they'd delete the code overnight."

Kicking the remaining intact computer components to pieces, Chen Yu advanced aggressively, grabbing the neighbor's collar once more, "You're just pure, unadulterated trash! Don't fucking pollute the gaming community anymore, read some damn books!"

Saying so, Chen Yu, like a magician, pulled out a stack of "Three Year College Entrance Examination, Five Year Simulations" workbooks and slammed them down on the neighbor, "Study! Study hard for me! Get rid of that goddamn 'Useless Otaku' title on your head!"

Hanging in mid-air, the plump neighbor seemed to have forgotten his anger and quickly took the stack of papers, asking in a dazed, low, and cautious tone, "Isn't... isn't it supposed to be about working out..."

"I changed my mind! With a brain like yours, you need TM to supplement your brain first!"

The anger gradually faded. Chen Yu only felt the "fatso" in his hand getting heavier, and he quickly put him down, "Ungrateful bastard. I've gone to such lengths to help you grow and you throw a fit. From now on, whatever I say, you listen! Otherwise, I'll stuff you into the septic tank downstairs immediately, let you wash your brain thoroughly! Got it?"

"Ah... Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!" The startled plump neighbor nodded rapidly like a pecking chicken.

"Get lost! You must finish all of this today!"

"Yes, yes, yes." The plump neighbor quickly clutched the stack of papers tightly to his chest, bowing and heading out the door in fear, escaping into Chen Yu's rental.

"..."

"..."

Standing in the doorway of Chen Yu's house, the plump neighbor blanked for about two minutes, then blinked, lifted his head, and looked up at the ceiling, "..."

"Something seems a bit off..."
