I am weak and friendly

Chapter 358 [Wrong Path] I really enjoy your life full of surprises

Wait, wait, wait, wait, what do you mean SMA isn't important?
SMA is so important, okay?

I exercise diligently and rehabilitate seriously every day so that I can stand up as soon as possible. You're telling me that my SMA has worsened?
So what have I been working so hard for all this time?
At this moment, Tang Yiping felt as if all his efforts had been wasted, and he was also discouraged that no matter how hard he tried, it would be in vain.

Although he went to the other side, although he killed Young Master Tang, and although he took back a lot of talent from Young Master Tang, can this be considered a victory?
Is it worth paying such a price?
Tang Yiping was in a state of emo, holding his head and remaining silent.

When Ban saw Tang Yiping's condition, he was startled.

To be honest, when he learned that Tang Yiping had gone alone (with a few burdens) into the other side's world, engaged in a gunfight with them, and even got shot, all in order to reclaim some of his talents, Brother Ban was furious.

Does this child have absolutely no sense of his own importance?
In this world, is there anyone whose talent is more important than yours?
In other words, who in this world is more important than yourself?
Is there anything worth taking this risk for?
Therefore, Brother Ban explained the situation more bluntly, fearing that Tang Yiping might act recklessly again.

While he was unconscious, Qiu Zhaodong performed some examinations on him. Based on the measurable indicators, Tang Yiping's recovery did show some regression, and his current condition was somewhat poor.

However, Qiu Zhaodong also said that this may be temporary, because the virus affected Tang Yiping's nervous system, and SMA is a disease that affects the nervous system, so it is normal for his condition to deteriorate, and it does not necessarily mean that it is irreversible.

Brother Ban thought that if a certain form of SMA regression could keep Tang Yiping at home and prevent him from running around, then such regression might actually be worthwhile.

After all, given Tang Yiping's personality, he wouldn't be discouraged by this. Instead, he would be full of fighting spirit and, once again, work on it sporadically, but overall, he would begin rehabilitation in a very consistent manner.

Yes, Tang Yiping is indeed a complex and real person, a mix of laziness and determination.

Therefore, Tang Yiping's behavior at this moment left Brother Ban a little confused.

No, is this the Hirako I know?

I'm... feeling emo?
"Hirako?"

"I'm fine." Tang Yiping waved his hand, signaling his brother to be quiet. "Wait a minute, let me sort this out..."

Tang Yiping held his head, trying to calm himself down and clear his mind of the chaotic thoughts.

Wait, wait, don't panic, please don't panic.

The current state may not be what it appears to be.

If every talent has side effects, then this "cold" and the worsening of SMA might be manifestations of them.

There will definitely be a solution.

It wasn't emo yet.

Hmm, this emo is most likely a side effect of some talent. Which one is it?
Tang Yiping calmed himself down, then looked up at his brother and said, "Don't worry about me. I have too many talents in my head right now, so my head is a bit of a mess."

Brother Ban looked at Tang Yiping suspiciously, thinking that he was just trying to comfort him.

"Brother Ban, do you remember how your condition changed after you received your talent?"

"Hmm..." How could I not remember?

Lately, my classmate... has been struggling with himself every day.

On the one hand, he was no longer the legendary product manager he once was; he had become a beast of burden and a corporate slave. On the other hand, his exceptional talent was beginning to pull him back to the person he used to be.

Now, Brother Ban is like a person with bipolar disorder.

I switch between mania and emo every day, and it takes a lot of energy to control myself and adapt to this change.

As a result, he was exhausted even though he hadn't done much work during the day.

This made Ban Ge sigh in amazement at his own terrifying talent.

I'm just a small horse; I really can't pull this big cart.

“I have nine people in my head with that kind of talent,” Tang Yiping said.

Tang Yiping didn't tell Ban Ge that this talent might be even stronger than Ban Ge's. After all, it was a valuable asset he got from Young Master Tang.

Can Tang Shao Ye's carefully selected products be the same?

"Hiss—" Ban gasped.

Then he flew into a rage: "Tang Yiping, you're really asking for it! You're lucky you've only been unconscious for a day and a night! With your small frame, how could you possibly withstand this thing?"

Tang Yiping felt that it was actually not bad.

These things had an impact on him, but not a huge one.

It's a bit like Tang Yiping learning other people's weaknesses.

His "consciousness" always operates at the most basic level, capable of distinguishing what belongs to himself and what belongs to "outside".

Tang Yiping thinks this is probably because of the "Survival Guide for the Weak".

These [talents] come from the contributions of [Entangled Bodies] and are managed by [The Guide to Survival of the Weak], so they do not actually affect him directly.

In programmer terms, these things run in a sandbox called "The Survival Guide for the Weak," which is isolated from the main body and cannot modify its actual code.

Running these things puts a huge strain on his body, causing the fan to spin wildly and the heat to build up. Over time, this can lead to capacitor malfunctions, screen glitches, and system crashes.

“We need to find the original owners for these talents as soon as possible... Can you find them?” Ban asked.

Tang Yiping thought for a moment and then shook his head.

His "Carrion Eater" skill can track down the stolen "talents" of others, but conversely, it does not exhibit the ability to trace the source of the stolen "talents".

After all, carrion eaters only care about what they eat, regardless of its source, which makes perfect sense logically.

"What should we do then?" Brother Ban was very distressed.

"I don't know either... I need to think about it carefully." Tang Yiping shook his head. This was a new situation that he had never anticipated.

"Hmm... could you transfer this talent to someone else first, just like you transferred it to me?" Brother Ban suddenly asked, "Temporarily... store it? Until a better method is found?"

"Huh? That's a good idea!" Tang Yiping's eyes lit up.

Then he said with frustration, "So, I'm just a porter!"

This is the scene Tang Yiping imagined.

He reclaimed the talent that Young Master Tang had taken from him, and then became a handsome sports student. Not only was he incredibly strong, but he could also scale walls—and still can now—and even show off on the sports field, gaining priority in choosing a partner for the remaining three years of college through various attention-grabbing behaviors.

Now, this beautiful scene is gradually fading into the distance.

There is no such thing as a priority in choosing a spouse.

"Sigh... Why is everything always different from what I imagined?" Tang Yiping said helplessly. "Plans are always slower than changes, and even hard work can go wrong. It's so annoying and hateful."

“Yeah…” Ban Ge sighed helplessly.

Just then, Tang Yiping suddenly felt...

Hey, wait.

All plans can go awry, could it be...?

—The weakling [Wrong Path] greatly admires your chaotic and unpredictable life and has been silently observing you for a long time. After a long period of observation, the weakling [Wrong Path] wishes to form an alliance with you and is willing to accept your enslavement.
