After reviewing the system's rewards, Jiang Lin was momentarily dazed.
It was like…
Working diligently for half a year, and then suddenly winning a lottery of hundreds of millions at the year's end?
Jiang Lin couldn't quite articulate it.
He felt joy, but also a sense of bewilderment.
Should he make a wish?
Would becoming the strongest mean he could rest easy?
At this moment, Jiang Lin thought of a supreme being vaguely hinted at in the Underworld's 'Archive.'
One that couldn't even be recorded.
What were their thoughts when standing at a high vantage point, observing the scenery?
Could they truly be without worries?
Or, would such a life be better than his current one?
Jiang Lin hadn't stood there, so he had no way of knowing the answer.
But his current life was good, and he had people and things he wished to protect.
If he possessed greater strength,
Wouldn't that also prevent him from regretting a lack of power during dangerous moments?
Many thoughts swirled in Jiang Lin's mind.
Ghost officers occasionally passed by. Due to Jiang Lin's barrier, they all avoided this area.
Jiang Lin lowered his eyelids,
Gazing at the system page for a long time.
Then, he gathered his thoughts, closed the system page, and said, "Let's do the mission first."
He decided to give himself more time to ponder.
To carefully consider what he wanted most, and how to maximize the efficacy of the Wish Card.
Because,
This chance to wish,
Might be his only one.
Would gaining power lead to happiness?
These two things weren't entirely equivalent.
Jiang Lin closed the system page and removed the defensive shield.
He focused his gaze ahead.
Then, he opened the Underworld passage and stepped through.
…
The existence of the Wish Card merely provided him with more possibilities.
No matter what the future held,
His current daily life had to continue.
Today's points couldn't be missed either.
…
"Ding~ The 'Daily Healing in the Underworld' live stream you follow has started, come and watch!"
As a familiar notification sound chimed,
Across the globe,
Viewers of various ages and statuses, without exception, picked up their phones.
They tapped on the notification,
Their eyes lit up, and they quickly entered the live stream.
At this moment, they might be on pedestrian streets, in restaurants, or in offices.
In reality, they might never have met, and would only be strangers if they did.
But in this live stream,
In this world,
They all shared the same identity, the same title.
—Underworld Stream Friends.
"Host, good afternoon~!"
"Another day of watching the stream. Friends, please move aside, I'm setting up my stall. I've got new five-spice sunflower seeds today."
"Friend, sunflower seeds without their shells are soulless."
"My 108th day of praying that my face doesn't appear in the stream."
…
After arriving in the human world, Jiang Lin found the wish-maker guided by a small note.
It was a young woman, dressed in simple winter clothes, still appearing slender.
Notably,
She wore sunglasses and held a white cane.
The white cane tapped left and right on the ground, making a ding-ding-dong sound, cautiously exploring the path ahead in the darkness.
Passersby hurried past, some glancing as they talked on their phones.
Some approached and asked if she needed help.
The woman shook her head and politely thanked them.
Without Jiang Lin's instruction, the live stream ball actively scurried out.
It then set up delayed playback; this had been Jiang Lin's live stream mode recently.
This live stream device was becoming increasingly intelligent.
…
"Eh… did the young lady injure her eyes?"
"Is the host here to guide souls or to do a mission this time?"
"A world without sight… I can't imagine. She's so young."
In the live stream, viewers' bullet comments occasionally drifted by.
Seeing a blind woman on screen, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Blind… how to put it.
Everyone was familiar with these two words, and knew what they meant.
But in reality, to be honest, they rarely encountered it.
Most people found it difficult to imagine,
What a blind person's life was truly like.
In an era filled with roads and smart screens,
If one couldn't see…
Just thinking about it felt distressing.
"Speaking of which, I watched a short video before experiencing the world of the blind. Traveling alone is quite difficult."
"Ah, I saw that one too. The world is pitch black, filled with sounds, and everywhere could be a trap."
In a world unseen,
Anything could become a weapon.
The omnipresent unease made it hard to find one's footing.
"Which video are you guys talking about? I'll go watch it too."
…
Ding ding dong dong…
Chu Tang's ears twitched, carefully distinguishing the surrounding sounds.
The roar of cars, the footsteps of pedestrians, stones being kicked on the road…
The chaotic sounds formed a jumbled and blurry picture in her mind.
When she first ventured out, she didn't even know whether to step with her left foot or her right.
She felt like breathing would make her want to vomit.
But the reality of the situation didn't allow her to reject this world.
So she forced herself,
Again and again, to adapt and accept.
The result proved,
That people don't die when they lose their eyes.
At least, she appeared to be able to learn to live independently.
Blind people don't need wheelchairs when they go out.
…
"Careful, careful! There's a utility pole ahead!"
Chu Tang walked with a calm expression, but the viewers in the live stream were getting anxious.
It wasn't clear which "smart person" had placed a utility pole in the middle of the tactile paving!
Wasn't that inviting someone to crash into it?
A blind person's route is already limited and difficult to find, and then you put an obstacle in the middle??
Are you kidding me?
Just as the viewers were wondering which passerby might help and remind her, they saw the young woman's white cane 'ding' as it hit the utility pole.
She seemed accustomed to it, calmly extended her other hand, felt the obstacle in front of her, then held onto the utility pole, and walked around it.
Finding the tactile paving again.
Ding ding dong dong…
The sound of the white cane tapping on the road resumed.
The viewers sighed in relief, yet felt a pang of sympathy.
"Can you pay attention to the tactile paving? It's already not easy for blind people to travel!"
"How many times must she have been injured to be so proficient… (heartache.jpg)"
"Damn it, I want to curse!"
A group of viewers were indignant.
Some immediately started searching for relevant phone numbers online and began filing complaints.
But soon,
They couldn't curse anymore.
Within a short distance of less than a hundred meters,
The tactile paving had not only utility poles and trees, but also rows of bicycles parked by the roadside, and even diagonally parked four-wheeled vehicles.
As the young woman approached, a warning beep sounded from a car.
The car owner quickly came out, looking around.
Hearing the 'dong dong' sound.
He walked over, looking at the figure tapping her stick near his car, and couldn't help but say:
"What are you doing?"
The next moment,
The young woman turned her head, and her first words were an explanation:
"Sorry, I'm looking for the tactile paving, I'll move along soon."
"…"
The car owner saw the sunglasses on her face and was instantly speechless.
But he was in a hurry and couldn't move the car immediately, and it was too late anyway.
He could only watch as the woman found the tactile paving and slowly fumbled her way away.
