Lin waited for the system's confirmation, but there was no notification.
"Where is my merit point for saving a life ??" Lin Yuan cried in his mind .
"Shu Yan's life isn't saved yet !" the system response was indifferent as always.
Lin Yuan was stunned when he saw the system's response .
"Temporary Host did indeed help Shu Yan, but you didn't rescue his life."
"Isn't this saving a life ?? what's wrong with the system ??" as Lin Yuan was lost in thoughts a guard's voice interrupted him .
"Young master, I believe this kid belongs to one of the gangs in the city." a guard spoke in a soft voice .
"What do you mean ??" Lin Yuan was confused.
"There is some gangs in the city who force kids to do this kind of jobs : Stealing , Scamming .." the guard replied.
"What ?? Isn't there law in the city ??" Lin Yuan was angered by this words . As a modern person, his first though was the law efficiency in handling such matters .
"There is many gangs in West River City with a powerful background,They are united when it comes to dealing with the the City lord."
Lin Yuan was stunned when he heard that. Only now did he remember that the law of this world is the law of the jungle.
"If I can save all of the kids in those gangs, I will be able to rest in peace when my lifespan is over. Even though it isn't considered as completing the mission" thought Lin Yuan as he ordered one of his guards to follow the kid.
"Can We save those kids ??" asked Lin Yuan .
"The gangs that force kids to do such lowly jobs are the weakest gangs. with the four of us , We can defeat them." a guard name Zhang Li said .
"Young master, it's easy to defeat those weak gangs.But , we may offend some bigger one in this case." another guard said .
From his guards mouth, Lin Yuan discovered that there was some kind of hierarchy in gangs,Several small gangs join a bigger gangs for protection.
"If we only want to save those kids and don't cause any casualties,those bigger gangs won't interfere."
Hearing those words was overjoyed , He didn't want to complicate the situation for his Father and offend others .He only wanted to save those kids and complete the mission given to him by the Life Saving System.
"Zhang Li , Follow that kid ! It would be better If you can find the gang's location and the whereabout of the other kids.". Lin Yuan said with a serious tone to one of his guards.
"yes , young master." said Zhang Li as he headed toward the direction that the kid left to.
Lin Yuan knew that having a 'E+' rank cultivator following a kid will not be a problem.
"let's go back to the mansion.".
On his way back home, Lin Yuan kept thinking about the system's mission and wondering about what the system means by saving lifes .
Lin Yuan tried saving the kid named Shu Yan from the hand of the shop owners who were beating him by using a Tier-9 pill .However, the system didn't consider that as saving a life which mean there was no danger on Shu Yan's life when he was beaten .
Lin Yuan tried confirming his guess and asked the system .
"Was Shu Yan not in a mortal danger when he was beaten the reason that the system didn't deem it as saving a life?"
"The System considered that the behaviour of saving Shu Yan was almost meaningless."
"Almost meaningless ??" Lin Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard the system's response , He didn't understand the reasoning of the system,so he quickly added another question : "Why is that ?"
"From the behaviour of the shop owners, This incident isn't the first which is mean that their true purpose was punishing the thief.They weren't going to kill him anyway"
Only Now , Did Lin Yuan started to understand the way that the system evaluated the case.
"They weren't going to kill him but Humans aren't a god.So there might be a risk on his life? " asked Lin Yuan again.
"Yes , There was a margin of error. That's why the system considered this situation as almost meaningless." as usual the system answers were indifferent like a machine.
"But, This situation isn't meaningless at least I saved the kid from a possible death or a Permanent disability."
"The reason is very simple, Temporary host didn't look at the root of the problem which mean that the youngster Shu Yan won't stop his work as a thief and might be caught many more times and receive the same treatment from the shop owners."
"So , If I want to truly save his life.I need to make him stop doing this illegal work of his??" asked Lin Yuan with anticipation .
"Yes , Making the kid return to the right path is a way of saving his life."
"Saving Lives is not easy at all ." Lin Yuan was sighting his hard life.
