I am weak and friendly

Chapter 175 Quickly put away your terrible thoughts! (Seeking monthly votes)
"Alive."

"call the ambulance."

"Tie him up! Tie him up! Bind him tightly!"

Tang Yiping watched as a group of people tied up Fan Zhihong.

They looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Clearly, Fan Zhihong has already given them PTSD.

Only then did he have time to look at the information in front of him.

After Tang Yiping successfully changed jobs, the "Survival Guide for the Weak" added a "Survival Level" attribute and gave him two new tasks.

One option is to continue learning new skills or rediscover existing ones.

One is to improve one's survival level.

Tang Yiping wasn't surprised that the first task went smoothly.

After all, once you get a turn, you can get a second one.

But what about the second task?

Tang Yiping was somewhat unconvinced.

Where did I "live on"? Which eye of yours saw me "live on"?

Wait, so I'm an SMA patient! That's alright then.

But... why do you say I'm "starving," "clothless," and "homeless"?
Wait, I forgot the time while copying code, and I haven't eaten dinner yet. My stomach is rumbling right now. Does this count as not having enough to eat?

As for being barely clothed...

Tang Yiping looked down at the ripped holes in his jeans.

Emmmm... This system is surprisingly old-fashioned!
And without a fixed abode...

It's not wrong to say that someone who lives in someone else's home and sleeps on the sofa at work every day is homeless.

Okay, I forgive you.

However, the second task did not specify the reward.

Based on Tang Yiping's experience, he always felt that the rewards for the "Survival Guide for the Weak" would be a huge rip-off.

Tang Yiping's gaze then shifted downwards, looking at the other attributes.

……

【Scavenging】(B/A): Nutritious and delicious, clean and hygienic! The best is the one without competition. You can always find discarded and forgotten objects that have begun to rot and extract nutrients from them.

The following are examples of obsolete strategies: [Outdated programming techniques] [Outdated architectural design] [The Heart of the City (a game that has stopped progressing)] [Five-year-old outdated mechanical technology] [Lack of practice in cutting in line] [Five-year-old outdated modular development techniques] [The outdated Civilization 4 God-level difficulty extreme troop rush win method] [Completely useless app adaptation techniques] [Outdated WinXP maintenance techniques] [Outdated SME cash flow limit turnover techniques] [Inconceivable treasure-hunting techniques] [The glory of ride-hailing drivers] [The abandoned technique of slacking off under someone's nose]. [Weakness Insight] (C/B): The weaknesses of the strong are insurmountable for the weak. By observing carefully from the shadows, you can always discover weaknesses, and then you can learn from them!

Learned: [Acquired brain injury*2] [Secondary epilepsy] [Late-stage pancreatic cancer] [Dying state] [Concussion] [Multiple fractures] [Trauma-induced stress response to betrayal] [Asymmetric semantic heterogeneity]

【Stabbed in the Heart】(C/B): Strikes the weak spot of the mind, every word is a dagger to the heart, every knife pierces the soul! The opponent may be temporarily weakened for a period of time, but will then unleash a tenfold burst of power. Run!
The skills don't seem to have changed, and skill upgrades are probably independent.

After reading all of this, Tang Yiping scrolled up to look at the information he had missed when he was looking at Fan Zhihong, the "Carrion Eater".

—You precisely and continuously used the "backstabbing technique" on Homo sapiens Fan Zhihong, successfully exposing the following traits abandoned by him: "half-baked fighting skills," "insufficient discipline," "apathetic life goals," "disciplined tendency to give up," "abandoned ability to slack off under someone's nose," "useless compassion," "weakened self-awareness," "deprived of choices," "deprived of silly hobbies," and "deprived of..."

—[Carrion Eating] Success! You have acquired the forgotten [Abandoned Technique of Fishing Under One's Own Nose], a skill that Homo sapiens Fan Zhihong had long forgotten.

—Homo sapiens Fan Zhihong has become your prey. Current progress of [Carrione] (1/13)

—You have marked Homo sapiens Fan Zhihong with your "stab-in-the-back technique".

Tang Yiping: ...

To be honest, this was completely different from the Fan Zhihong that Tang Yiping had imagined.

In Tang Yiping's eyes, Fan Zhihong was a perfect machine.

He's incredibly strong, ridiculously strong.

In modern society, a person can calmly escape from the encirclement and suppression of so many people, carrying such a huge, unpowered container, and even eliminate another version of themselves to lie in wait for an opportunity.

If it weren't for his dog's translator, he might have actually succeeded.

Even in movies, they wouldn't dare to film something like that.

But what was he like before?
Half-baked survival skills, a mediocre life goal, slacking off under the noses of others, a compassionate heart coupled with an overly strong sense of self...

How did such a person become the terrifying guy we can barely find even if we search the ground three feet deep?

What kind of environment can cause a person to change so much?
Honestly, if he were still the same person he was before, it would be a waste to even use him as a scavenger; he'd only be good for being a fair-weather friend.

The "Abandoned Skill of Slacking Off Under One's Own Nose" is arguably the most useless skill among those that Tang Yiping has "eaten carrion".

Tang Yiping has never slacked off in his entire life!

I'm the company's top scorer, and I have a master craftsman who's a real painstaking worker!
What shocked Tang Yiping even more was the series of shocking "deprivations".

Fan Zhihong is not only a perpetrator, but also a victim.

It's a pity that there is no if in this world.

I'm sorry, I can't forgive you for this.

Tang Yiping thought of Tongtong, trapped in her own world; of the lonely old man Du Yuanshan, who died alone; and of Wen Rui, who burned his glory and left behind a trail...

The initial excitement of catching Fan Zhihong seemed to have faded.

He sighed softly, looked out the window, his gaze unfocused.

"Who exactly is that person?" the slightly chubby young man asked Zhao Xinyi beside him. "Why does he seem... like he's good at putting on an act?"

Despite having caught such a formidable opponent, his expression was as if he had done something insignificant.

Since everyone came in, apart from saying "You're late," he has been sitting quietly to the side, watching everything with a calm and detached attitude.

For a long time, he barely focused his eyes, as if he felt that nothing in front of him was worth paying attention to.

"You're saying Tang is an actor?" Zhao Xinyi stared wide-eyed at the slightly chubby young man. "Junior! Quickly put away that terrible idea of ​​yours!"

Well, he really is good at pretending! Looking at Tang Yiping's melancholy profile, Zhao Xinyi thought, Damn it, when will I be able to pretend like that!
