Li Shu woke up to a sudden burst of palpitations, feeling as if his heart was tightly gripped by invisible hands. He sat up abruptly, clutching his chest and gasping for air.
A wave of dizziness washed over him, and Li Shu barely managed to hold himself up by grabbing the edge of the bed.
As the palpitations slowly subsided, he sat quietly for a moment, waiting for the discomfort to fade away before surveying his surroundings.
He found himself in a luxurious European-style bedroom. The curtains were tightly drawn, allowing faint light to filter in. He reached for the remote control by the bedside, and as his fingers pressed down, the closed curtains opened to let in the eager sunlight in, brightening the room.
Li Shu remained seated on the bed. Just a moment ago, he was discussing with Mo Yanzhi in the apartment, discussing where to travel after retirement. The next second, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar place. Lifting his arm, his dark silk robe slid down, revealing a slender arm.
The arm was an unhealthy white, with visible blue veins. This wasn't his original body. In an instant, Li Shu came to this conclusion. His original body had fair skin, but it was a healthy fair, unlike the current sickly pallor. Just from the state of his skin, one could tell that his current physical condition was not good.
There was a throbbing pain in his temples. Li Shu grabbed a pillow from behind and leaned against the headboard and called out to the system, [1314, what's going on?]
A cold mechanical system voice rang out, [Matchmaking System 1314 at your service, host. This is the second mission world. Please wait as the world information loads.]
The second task world? Li Shu frowned. Shouldn't it be the third world? Why did he suddenly appear in this world? What happened in the previous world?
Despite his doubts, Li Shu didn't show them in front of the system. The previous world was already full of doubts, and now it seemed like the system didn't remember those memories...
Suppressing the various thoughts in his mind, Li Shu closed his eyes to receive the world information transmitted by the system.
The background of this world was similar to the previous one, with similar technological development. It should be the second world that 1314 had chosen before.
The original plot of this world is about an urban upgrade flow from the perspective of the male protagonist. The male protagonist grew up in an orphanage and was adopted by the original owner of Li Shu's current body, embarking on his legendary life.
The original owner was the current head of the Li family, born with a heart disease inherited from the womb. Despite searching for renowned doctors worldwide, the child couldn't be cured. As he grew older, instead of showing signs of improvement, his condition worsened.
At the age of 35, the original owner's condition deteriorated rapidly. Doctors asserted that at the current rate of deterioration, the original owner could only last for three more years at most. In other words, if a treatment method wasn't found, this shell could only hold out until the age of 38 at most.
This was a huge blow to a man with a strong ambition. Unwilling to die like this, the original owner increased investment in the laboratory, abandoned conscience, and tacitly allowed those in the laboratory to conduct experiments on living people, all for a slim chance.
It was at this time that the original owner met the male protagonist.
Was adopting the male protagonist just an act of kindness? Of course not. Influenced by his illness, the original owner had a difficult and violent personality. In desperation, he even resorted to harming innocent people for his own survival. How could it be purely out of kindness to adopt the male protagonist? The reason for his actions was only one: the male protagonist had something that could help him get rid of the disease.
