“Continued Life Against the Heavens? This is really testing fate!”

Meng Fan was prepared for the task he’d just triggered. He felt for sure he would run into some System-related tasks on this journey. After all, this was the day he died. But he didn’t think it would trigger the moment he landed, and it was a special task at that.

Although the System in his mind didn’t have a proper name, Meng Fan had deemed it the Accomplishment System. The entire time, all the tasks were related to achievement titles.

“+10 towards any attribute?!”

This reminded Meng Fan of the extra rewards he’d obtained from the ten titles reward. But last time, it was different. Last time, he had the choice between adding +10 random attributes, or +5 on selected attributes. In the end, he didn’t understand the situation and chose the +5 to assign. This time, he had all 10, and he could do whatever he liked with them.

Except for increasing the special attribute of Luck, of course.

As for the time mentioned in the task, it was aligned with Meng Fan’s schedule before reincarnation. He had taken the flight from Singapore to Tokyo on the night of the 13th. He had been reincarnated around 11:30 that night of the 13th. If he could survive until the 14th, then it would truly be connected to his reincarnation.

It wasn’t an overstatement to say he was literally defying the heavens.

“Mr. Meng, we’re here.”

The gorgeous woman in a tailored business suit sitting next to Meng Fan gently patted his shoulder, deliberately lingering her hand for a moment before pulling it away. Seeing Meng Fan look over, she revealed a most beautiful smile. “Mr. Meng, where are you headed? Do you want my driver to drop you off somewhere?”

“Thanks, I have someone coming to get me already.”

Meng Fan didn’t have a great impression of this pretty woman, since he had met her as well before his rebirth. Only at that time, her attitude toward him had been completely different. She hadn’t bothered to conceal her disgust towards him, compared to her seducing glances now.

The woman didn’t know that Meng Fan was a celebrity of some sort but had solely reacted in that way because of the charm Meng Fan exuded.

Of course, Meng Fan didn’t want to reciprocate her bad behavior. He received her business card that she handed to him but mentally told her to save it when it came to eating dinner together.

Then like a true gentleman, he helped the woman grab her suitcase and casually walked out of business class.

“Goodbye, Iron Hero.”

One of the flight attendants had recognized Meng Fan. She smiled and waved at Meng Fan before he departed the plane and handed Meng Fan a napkin. “You have something on your shirt.”

“Oh, thanks. See you.”

Meng Fan took the napkin but couldn’t find any stains on himself as he walked out. He then saw the row of numbers written on the napkin. It was a phone number.

He turned to see the stewardess smiling at herself and became too embarrassed to throw the tissue into a garbage can. He could only tuck it inside his pocket and keep walking.

After losing his body fat and gaining +16 points of Charm, the world was completely different. It seemed everyone treated him with more gentleness and kindness.

Hopefully, because of this, the world will be kinder as well.

The Changi Airport in Singapore is considered one of the best airports in the world and has won this title for six consecutive years in a row. Changi Airport has another name: the “Changi Experience.” While there were top-notch restaurants, retail, and entertainment facilities here, the airport also had a butterfly ecological park. Whether you were waiting for a flight or transferring in between, you could have a wonderful experience there.

It wasn’t an overstatement to say that you could spend several days in this airport without tiring.

Terminal 2 had a special passage for business class VIPs. The service was incredible, and Meng Fan was able to meet the person picking him up very fast.

Like before, Meng Caitang had been busy and asked a friend to get Meng Fan.

“Hello, I’m Meng Fan.”

Meng Fan soon appeared in front of Lin Xiaoxiao, who had been assigned to pick him up. Lin Xiaoxiao was still looking for Meng Fan, despite Meng Fan’s presence being so prominent. This was because Xiaoxiao had met Meng Fan two years ago when he had dropped off his fourth sister with his second sister in Singapore; Lin Xiaoxiao still thought Meng Fan would look like a chubby boy.

Lin Xiaoxiao was Meng Caitang’s roommate, but she was significantly older than Meng Caitang. At the time, Caitang was 19, while Xiaoxiao was already 25.

At the time, Lin Xiaoxiao was in her second year of masters. They ended up living together because of their professional similarities, their teaching backgrounds, and both of them were Chinese.

This year, Lin Xiaoxiao was 27, and if Meng Fan was right, she would be taking her PhD. Although she was nothing compared to Meng Caitang, she was also a hefty spawn of the devil.

Dressed like an elite business woman with short hair, she looked very capable and eye catching as well. It was very different from the typical stereotype for female PhD students.

“You… you’re Meng Fan?”

Meng Fan was already standing in front of her, but Lin Xiaoxiao was hesitant to admit it. She looked him up and down carefully before confirming, slightly flushing red. “You’ve changed a lot.”

Meng Fan smiled. “Sister Xiaoxiao, you’ve also changed a lot. You’ve gotten prettier.”

Lin Xiaoxiao heard this and flushed even redder. She didn’t dare meet Meng Fan’s eyes. She was 100% sure that she wasn’t part of the appearance association*, but she couldn’t hold back her skipping heart.

*There is an online term in China for people who are infatuated/easily attracted to a person based on their appearance and looks, “the appearance association” is the term for this group of people.

Lin Xiaoxiao remembered the first time they had met. She had been confused then. His two older sisters and one younger sister were all very beautiful, so why did their brother look like he found his face in the dumpster? Now she understood. He was just playing around.

“Uhm, let’s go.”

Lin Xiaoxiao reached out to help Meng Fan carry his luggage but didn’t persist after seeing Meng Fan shake his head and smile. She took Meng Fan to the parking lot, and they drove off in a BMW Series 1.

“Is it hot?” Lin Xiaoxiao asked.

Singapore had a tropical climate, so the temperature during December was around 25 degrees Celsius. It was considerably higher than Hangzhou’s temperature.

Meng Fan nodded. “A little.”

He rolled down the window halfway, then took the opportunity to release the live stream assistant to its invisible state. Relying on his virtual screen, he found a suitable location in the airport and rested the drone-like machine to broadcast the T2 terminal. It was high enough to capture all the people entering and leaving and far enough from the cleaning staff to reach.

Meng Fan wasn’t sure if he could spot the hijackers this way, but it was better to be prepared.

There were four hijackers in total, and Meng Fan couldn’t recognize all of them. However, the one that Meng Fan had crushed prior to his rebirth, who delivered Meng Fan the bullet that sent him to his death, had been etched in Meng Fan’s memory. Only it wasn’t complete. Otherwise, he would have been able to sketch out his features with his current drawing skills. But Meng Fan was certain: As long as this person appeared in front of him, he would know who it was.

He had some memory of another person as well.

Meng Fan planned to use the live stream assistant as a monitor. It would be ideal if he could lock on the target through the assistant.

He didn’t want to be idle as he awaited his fate!

Meng Fan felt that calling the police was too unrealistic, since he had no evidence. What if he startled the hijackers and they changed the flight they were about to rob? Then why did he come here if not to confront these hijackers directly!

He was slightly regretful for not exchanging a few more live stream assistants. After the [Famous Streamer] task was complete, he was no longer able to exchange equipment relating to it.

Crack!

As he was deep in thought, a lightning bolt broke through the clouds, and it began to pour.

Meng Fan hurriedly closed the car window.

“Singapore is currently in its rainy season right now, so there are often thunderstorms in the afternoons.” Lin Xiaoxiao said.
