Chapter 42: The Second Generation of Heroes (End)

As the night deepened, the party gradually came to an end. Everyone exchanged contact information, and those who got along well had already called each other brothers and were reluctant to leave.

Cao Meng and his classmates were stopped by Cao Jiao before getting on the bus.

"You have made great progress and performed very well. I'm sure your father will praise you when you go home," said Cao Jiao.

Cao Meng paused and said, "No need." His brows had become calm, without the slightest hint of anger or resentment.

He had indeed felt angry and aggrieved because of his father's partiality and desperately wanted his recognition. However, after going through all this, looking down at the panicked crowd below in the stadium, experiencing the fragility of life, and feeling the recognition and gratitude in other people's eyes, he was no longer confined to that small world like a frog in a well. Compared to the recognition of his partial father, there were more meaningful things in this world that were worth doing for him.

Cao Jiao looked at him, with a hint of relief between his brows, "Very good."

Two buses brought the Qingyan students back to campus. They were full of nervousness when they came, with a childish desire to show off their good things and a little fear of facing the crowd. Now, only four or five days have passed, but they have grown up. The school far away in the suburbs, quiet and closed, as if it represented that they were abandoned by their families, is no longer cold and scary.

Their future has light.

...

Yuan Qingning's nightmare began. After the news that Xie Yingying was the adopted daughter of the Yuan family was exposed, her identity as the adopted daughter of the Yuan family was also exposed. If An Cui hadn't existed, perhaps this identity would have allowed her to jump three steps and become the most popular person wherever she went. Now she is indeed the most popular person wherever she goes, but people are not paying attention to her, but to An Cui, who is nominally her sister.

In every interview, every show, everyone who talks to her always asks about An Cui at the end. Even among the people who come to watch her sing on the show, there are people who are fans of An Cui. When they are lucky enough to be called out and speak, they tremble with excitement and say that the person they like and admire the most is Xie Yingying, and they want you to tell Xie Yingying for them...

Her agent Sun Jian was very pleased to see this. "I originally thought that Xie Yingying would take action against me and the company after becoming a national treasure, but I didn't expect that she would not only show mercy, but also let you benefit a lot!"

Yuan Qingning said with an unpleasant expression: "What benefit have I gained from her?"

Sun Jian was so happy that he didn't notice her expression and said, "Isn't that too many? I'm not saying that your movie was a bad movie made by a famous director. The plot was so bad that I couldn't even watch it. But it made so much money at the box office. Isn't it because you are Xie Yingying's sister? They couldn't find Xie Yingying and had nowhere to vent their love for her, so they turned around and loved you. And those international big-name endorsements, there were so many competitors, how could you get them? In the end, it was because those bosses liked Xie Yingying, so they gave them to you. And, the "Transformers" that is currently in the preparation stage and has attracted the most attention from the world and invested hundreds of millions of N coins, you were able to get the leading role because the director is..."

"That's enough!!"

Sun Jian was so scared that his eyes widened, looking as funny as a frog.

Yuan Qingning kicked Sun Jian out of the apartment and smashed everything in the apartment. Maybe someone else would be very happy. After all, they don't have to do anything. Just by riding on An Cui's popularity, they can become a first-line star, with endorsements from international brands, roles in blockbuster movies, and popular variety shows... all coming uninvited.

However, Yuan Qingning had already gotten into a dead end. Every time she thought about how miserably she was trampled under the feet of Xie Yingying in her previous life, and how she was trampled under the feet of Xie Yingying again in this life, she felt that this rebirth was almost meaningless, that God was extremely unfair, and that all these benefits were charity from Xie Yingying, which was a shame!

Even Yuan Yao didn't know why he gradually distanced himself from her. She couldn't help wondering if he had fallen in love with Xie Yingying again, just like in his previous life. She was afraid of the fate that was destined in the dark, so she could only turn around and continue to try her best to please the Yuan family, so as not to be rejected and sent away like in her previous life, and then gradually end up with that tragic death.

This year was very tormenting for her.

At this time, her cell phone rang. It was the general's wife Wei Rou calling.

"Hello, Mom." She called sweetly immediately.

Wei Rou's gentle voice was filled with some uncontrollable excitement, "Qingning, Yingying is finally back, you should come back quickly."

Yuan Qingning's expression froze, "...Okay."

...

This was An Cui's first time back since she left for Qingyan Middle School, nearly two years later. The Yuan family was busy preparing for her return.

Yuan Qingning postponed an evening announcement and rushed home. She arrived late, and because she was in a bad mood in the afternoon, she couldn't eat. She was so hungry that her stomach was growling. She thought they would at least wait for her to come back before starting to eat, but she didn't expect that when she arrived, the restaurant was already full of people eating.

"Qingning is back, come quickly, the food is getting cold." After Wei Rou picked up some food for An Cui, she waved at her gently.

Hearing this, Yuan Qingning's smile froze, but she couldn't let her personality fall apart, so she walked over as if nothing had happened and said coquettishly, "Tonight's dish was made by mom, right? I could tell by the smell."

"You have the most sensitive nose." Wei Rou said with a smile and handed the bowl to her.

"Yingying, you're back. I missed you so much."

"I don't think so." An Cui glanced at her and said sarcastically.

The atmosphere at the dinner table froze for a moment.

Yuan Qingning was delighted and thought, that's right, don't be polite, let's see who will be despised for being unreasonable. General Yuan hated the war within the family the most, and he looked down on his colleagues who had a lot of illegitimate children, which caused the family to fight openly and secretly and made the family restless. If Xie Yingying wanted to make trouble with her, no matter how much guilt General Yuan felt, he couldn't stand her wearing it away again and again.

However, General Yuan did not say anything, and Wei Rou was a little embarrassed and hesitated to speak. Looking at her eyes, it seemed that she wanted her to be more tolerant of An Cui and not argue with her.

The little bit of joy in Yuan Qingning's heart disappeared in an instant.

An Cui stopped talking and lowered her head to eat. In order to break the atmosphere, Wei Rou brought up various topics one after another, including Colonel Xie's various deeds in the past, trying to restore the previous harmony. However, every time the situation got a little better and Yuan Qingning joined in a sentence, An Cui's face immediately turned cold, not hiding her dislike for Yuan Qingning at all. She would interrupt whenever Yuan Qingning saw them chatting enthusiastically.

Now they feel very guilty towards An Cui and want to compensate her very much and restore the family relationship between the two sides. Seeing this, Wei Rou was a little anxious and wanted to tell Yuan Qingning to stop talking.

Yuan Qingning saw the eager hint in the general's wife's eyes and was so angry that she couldn't help but smash the bowl. She couldn't be so tactless because she was a sensible and well-behaved girl. She had no choice but to turn around and talk to Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao was absent-minded. Rather than talking to her, he wanted to join the conversation over there. His parents were talking about the embarrassing things that happened when Mrs. Xie invented some messy little inventions when she was pursuing Colonel Xie. For example, when the messenger helicopter flew to Colonel Xie's dormitory and delivered the letter, it brought down Colonel Xie's underwear hanging on the window, and it fell on their instructor's head, causing Colonel Xie to be punished... It sounded very interesting, more attractive than Yuan Qingning's work situation today. Even Yuan Rong, who was usually quiet, couldn't help but interrupt.

Yuan Qingning suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar, so much so that her scalp went tingling and a feeling of fear came over her.

Yes, it was exactly that scene. In her previous life, when Xie Yingying had just come, it was also like that. Wei Rou gently and enthusiastically tried to find topics to talk about, picking up vegetables and peeling shrimps for her, almost with a hint of cautious flattery, wanting to make the sad and melancholy little girl who had just lost her parents smile. The taciturn General Yuan also forced himself to soften his face and speak as gently as possible. Yuan Rong and Yuan Yao also took the initiative to talk to her.

At the dining table, they were all around Xie Yingying, and she was sitting at the same table with them, but she felt like she was sitting in a cold corner. It was as if they were a family of four, and she was superfluous. The shrimps that her mother peeled before belonged to her and Rongyao, but now they were all given to Xie Yingying. Xie Yingying would take away her things, she felt so strongly.

After her rebirth, she immediately took action to change everything. She thought that this time it was her turn to be the heroine who was favored by everyone. However, the current scene was so familiar and so terrifying, as if she had returned to the starting point! !

The horrible feeling drove her into a trance until she heard a voice in her head say, "Do you want me to kill her?"

Yuan Qingning was stunned.

"I can help you without getting your hands dirty. I can change the robot butler in the house and have it sneak into her room in the middle of the night and kill her."

The temptation was too great for Yuan Qingning to resist.

But how could he change a robot? Ever since An Cui appeared, Yuan Qingning's mind was full of negative emotions, and she had no time to fall in love with him online in her mind, so the other party was still just using her. So after he came to Yuan Qingning's body, in the deep night when everyone was asleep, he stood up with a cold look in his eyes.

He went downstairs to get a knife, pried open An Cui's door, looked at the protruding figure on the bed, and slowly walked over.

This is the biggest obstacle to their plan to invade Blue Star. Their home is very similar to the environment of Earth, with the same air and gravity, except that it is smaller and has fewer resources than Earth. Their planet will soon be destroyed, so they must migrate. Earth is their goal, but there are too many humans on Earth to squeeze them in. So in order to survive, they can only kill all the people on Earth!

They had been preparing for this for a long time, but he had not expected this human to appear out of nowhere and create something powerful enough to compete with them, which made him feel daunted. They had united with other races that needed to immigrate, and the Earth would soon be invaded by a large army, but this human must be killed because he was worried about what would happen next.

He quietly came to An Cui's side, and then suddenly stabbed the knife into the bed, but the person on the bed suddenly jumped up and kicked the knife away. He was also pinned to the ground in an instant. The person lying on the bed was not An Cui at all, but Yuan Yao!

This bedroom is brightly lit.

The accident happened too quickly and he didn't have time to react. He wanted to escape from Yuan Qingning's body, but he didn't expect something to be put on his head suddenly. He wanted to escape, but found that he couldn't escape!

He was caught! He was shocked and terrified for a moment. How could it be!

A pair of feet appeared in front of him. He looked up along the feet and saw An Cui. She was staring at him with the eyes of an evil scientist, full of curiosity, research desire and a hint of madness, which made him feel a chill running down his back.

Fans in Cuicui's live broadcast room double-clicked 666 like crazy:

【66666666】

[66666 This is the first time I've seen a female anchor catch the male protagonist in one go!!]

[Too cool, he is worthy of being a big boss, he actually caught the male protagonist directly! ]

【Hahahahahahaha this is too tragic, how can it end well after falling into the hands of our boss?】

[I have already started to mourn for him and his people. Hahahaha. Am I a devil? Hahahaha]

【......】

Taita was trapped in Yuan Qingning's body and was soon transferred from the Yuan family to the Ministry of Defense prison for extremely high-level surveillance.

The six smooth walls of the room were so white that it made people feel uncomfortable. Taita was locked in a chair in the middle of the room, with nothing around him except a machine whose function was unknown.

He tried many times to pull his spiritual body out of Yuan Qingning's head, but it was of no use. He knew it must be the helmet on his head. He could feel as if there were many suction cups inside the helmet, firmly sucking on his entire scalp, as if sucking on his spiritual tentacles as well, making it impossible for him to escape.

He guessed what these earthlings were going to do next. They would definitely ask him how much information he had about the earth, how many troops they had prepared to attack the earth, and when they would come. However, he would not tell them a word.

At this time, the door opened and An Cui walked in. She was wearing a white robe, glasses on her nose, and holding a folder in her hand. She walked in very ceremonially and came in front of him.

Here it comes, he thought.

An Cui gave him a strangely excited smile, "Then let's get started."

What?

An Cui didn't explain or say any nonsense, she just started tinkering with the machine and helmet.

"First, let me test your brain wave strength and attack tolerance..."

"Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

"Well, this data is very good. But it seems that the strength can be increased a little bit..."

"Aa ...

"So what happens if we add one more level?"

"Aa ...

"Come again..."

"..."

Life is worse than death.

The people who were watching the scene from behind the one-way glass were all sweating profusely. This... isn't this really an evil scientist who has lost all humanity and would do anything for research?

[Oh my god, it is so tragic! ! ]

[The protagonist of this copy is much more miserable than Lan Shengzhe in the previous copy! ]

[Hahahaha, I feel refreshed both physically and mentally. I've long disliked this male protagonist]

[Hahahaha, I have already foreseen how the ending will be. Just thinking about it makes me feel better physically and mentally]

[It seems we can start looking forward to our Cuicui's next copy~]

【......】

In this torture worse than death, Taita even took the initiative to tell them what he had done with Yuan Qingning and what he had obtained, in order to buy time and the possibility of survival. However, An Cui showed no mercy and Taita in Yuan Qingning was finally killed. Of course, An Cui only killed one of Taita's spiritual tentacles. He himself was not dead yet, but he was also affected by a lot of stimulation and became a vegetable.

Yuan Qingning woke up on the hospital bed, and before she could figure out what was going on, she was arrested under the extremely disappointed eyes of General Yuan. Taita used Yuan Qingning's body to steal so many state secrets from his study. Even if she might not know anything, she was still responsible. Her brain was connected to a strange alien, and she was defenseless and gave her body to the other party to manage.

She had no idea what kind of consciousness, responsibilities and obligations she must have as a member of the Yuan family.

Due to Taita's accident, the management of the Bitar tribe was taken over by his brother. He was not fully aware of the danger of An Cui and immediately attacked the Earth after the army was assembled.

However, during this year, governments around the world have been rapidly manufacturing large and small mechas, iron suits, and lightsabers, and the soldiers have been training hard. Qingyan Middle School's square march at the All-England Conference has also been included in the training list. They found that this kind of training is an effective way to hone the soldiers' will and body muscles, and it also strengthens their sense of collective honor.

In short, the whole world is under martial law, and people have begun to move to relatively safe places for refuge. They are well prepared for the inevitable battle, and are also ready to use this war to warn the alien races in the entire universe who are eyeing the earth: Earthlings are no longer powerless newborns in the universe, and invaders will pay a heavy price.

Then, the war broke out as expected and ended as expected. Facing the iron fist, the enemy fled in disarray. The earth suffered some losses, but compared with the battles with Xie Yingying and Yuan Qingning in the original work, such losses seemed negligible.

After the war, An-Tzu became the world's most famous celebrity and was stamped as a "treasure on earth" by governments around the world.
