At that moment, the other doctors and nurses in the hospital heard the commotion and rushed in, but before they could figure out what was going on, the doctor in the white coat shouted, "Don't touch him! He's electrified!"
A large, over fifty-year-old doctor came running in, panting, and immediately asked the doctor in the white coat a question.
"Xiao Wang, what happened? What's going on?"
The doctor in the white coat, called Xiao Wang, said, "Dean Chen, this patient has been electrocuted!"
Dean Chen immediately roared, "Damn it! The patient's been electrocuted, what are you all doing here? Hurry up and save him!"
There was complete silence all around, except for Ma Xiaoniu's pitiful howls.
Dean Chen's expression changed instantly, his eyes blazing with anger, and he was about to reprimand him. Dr. Wang smiled bitterly, "Dean Chen, if we could save him, we would have done it already. The problem is, we can't find where he was electrocuted! There's absolutely no leak!"
Dean Chen's eyes widened: "Not an electric shock? Then why did you say the patient was electrocuted? Hmm?"
Xiao Wang recounted what had just happened with a wry smile. Dean Chen glanced at the two nurses whose hair was still standing on end, then at Ma Xiaoniu who was still trembling like a leaf, and was equally puzzled, his brows furrowing involuntarily.
After about five minutes, surrounded by a group of doctors in white coats, Ma Xiaoniu finally stopped shaking and lay on the ground, panting heavily, covered in sweat.
Just as Dr. Wang was about to instruct the doctor to lift the patient onto the bed, Ma Xiaoniu slowly got up, stretched his arms, and said with a strange expression, "Please process my discharge. I think I'm fine."
Not only did Dr. Wang's expression turn strange, but even the way he looked at Ma Xiaoniu became odd. "Do you think you're alright? Would you like to have another checkup?"
After moving around for a while, Ma Xiaoniu had recovered from the electric shock. He reached for his clothes on the bed and changed while saying, "No need, thank you for taking care of me. I have no more mission problems now, please process my discharge."
Just as Xiao Wang was about to try to persuade him further, Dean Chen said, "Alright, since you feel fine now, young man, then you can be discharged." He then gave Xiao Wang a wink, and together they walked out of the ward.
As soon as Xiao Wang stepped out of the ward, he was about to ask some questions. Dean Chen said directly, "Xiao Wang, you've seen it yourself. This patient's cause of illness is unknown, and he's voluntarily requesting discharge. We can't force him to stay. Besides, I've looked at the patient's resume. This patient, Ma Xiaoniu, is a poor teacher, orphaned and all alone. If we really need to do tests, it will be a considerable expense. What if Ma Xiaoniu can't afford it? Wouldn't we be in a very passive position? Alright, hurry up and process Ma Xiaoniu's discharge, the sooner the better."
...
Ma Xiaoniu left the county central hospital and took a car back. There was an unpleasant smell of gasoline in the car, but Ma Xiaoniu was clearly not thinking about it at the moment.
Task: Snatch lollipops from kids. Time: Today only.
A few words shrouded in black smoke floated in his mind. Before, Ma Xiaoniu would have absolutely scoffed, but after the "five minutes of electric shock," it was clear that Ma Xiaoniu had matured. But this didn't mean Ma Xiaoniu had changed his personality; he was still the same Ma Xiaoniu who yearned to fight injustice and uphold justice.

===Chapter Two===
But now it's clear that the ideal is far from reality.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoniu frowned again. Ma Xiaoniu was a stubborn person, but he would never act blindly. While his intelligence wasn't genius-level, it wasn't bad either; otherwise, he wouldn't be a teacher. Since he couldn't change it, was there any way to utilize it?
First of all, we already have a superpower today—invisibility. With this skill, we can go anywhere in the world. And who knows what powerful skills will emerge in the future? So making money won't be a problem.
Secondly, although the system assigns a task—to snatch lollipops from children—there are loopholes that can be exploited. For example, you could buy a box of lollipops for a child, then snatch one lollipop from the child's hand. Compared to a whole box of lollipops, this one lollipop seems insignificant, especially since you bought it for the child yourself.
Furthermore, as long as no more than one day has passed since the task was completed, the skills acquired that day will not disappear. Perhaps then, one's ideal of fighting evil and upholding justice can be realized?
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoniu suddenly felt much more at ease and couldn't help but burst into laughter. This caused the other passengers on the bus to look at him strangely and unconsciously shift their positions, moving a little further away from Ma Xiaoniu.
...
At 10:30 a.m., Ma Xiaoniu got off the bus in Caoxiang Town and ran straight to a roadside shop to buy a box of lollipops. With the box of lollipops in hand, Ma Xiaoniu went to Huahua Kindergarten, a kindergarten not far from his school.
Looking around casually, Ma Xiaoniu soon spotted a child, about four or five years old, playing on the side of the street. He walked over to the child, squatted down, and asked, "Little one, what's your name?"
The little baby sniffled, looking at Ma Xiaoniu with a blank expression. "Baby."
"Baby? That's a lovely name." As he spoke, Ma Xiaoniu took out a lollipop and handed it to the little baby. The little baby's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it. Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, a large hand swept past with a whoosh, and when he looked again, the lollipop had been snatched back by the uncle across the street.
The little child's lips twitched, and he looked like he was about to cry. Ma Xiaoniu quickly took out a large box of lollipops he had hidden behind his back and handed it to the child, saying, "Here, Uncle has another big box of lollipops for you!"
The little one's face, which had just fallen into a smile, immediately lit up with joy as he eagerly took the food and began to eat.
Ma Xiaoniu smiled, stood up, and felt cheerful.
"Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission—snatching lollipops from children. You have received a reward of one point of Physique."
A warm current flowed into his body from who knows where, and in an instant, Ma Xiaoniu felt refreshed and the last trace of drowsiness in his mind disappeared completely.
Ma Xiaoniu gazed into the distance, his heart filled with boundless pride. From now on, the world's wicked will await my redemption!
...
Mazhuang is a small village, so small that if you shout at the east end of the village, the whole village can hear you. Dozens of households are crammed together on both sides of a so-called main road. The main road is quite wide, but it is a dirt road. In today's social environment, dirt roads are no longer suitable, but the village is small and poor, and does not have the financial resources to build one.
Adjacent to Mazhuang is Songzhuang, which, in contrast to Mazhuang, has a population of several thousand and is one of the largest villages in Caoxiang. Because the two villages are not far apart, they have had many disputes over land borders. However, because Mazhuang has a smaller population, it has also suffered considerable losses.
The village chief of Songzhuang was surnamed Wang and named Wang Youcai. He had a menacing face and, relying on the large number of his brothers, was a local tyrant. He was elected village chief through coercion and bribery, earning him the nickname "Wang the Skinflint." Of course, this nickname was only used behind his back; absolutely no one dared to mention it to his face.
Wang Bapi and his five brothers were always at the forefront of the land disputes between Songzhuang and Mazhuang. Ma Xiaoniu heard from the villagers that his parents, whom he barely remembered, suffered a lot at the hands of these five brothers. All these years have passed, but Ma Xiaoniu has never forgotten this incident. Although Ma Xiaoniu is upright, he is not a pushover.
Now, the opportunity for revenge has arrived.
Ma Xiaoniu's house is located at the east end of the village, less than ten meters away from the large locust tree at the village entrance. His house consists of only three single-story rooms, but the yard is quite large, probably around a hundred square meters. Ma Xiaoniu usually likes to grow some vegetables in the yard, and he gives away any surplus to the villagers.
He entered the house and locked the door. Ma Xiaoniu took off all his clothes, silently chanted the invisibility spell, and then went to the mirror. He saw that the mirror was empty, with no reflection of him.
He really did go invisible!
Ma Xiaoniu gave a cold smile to himself in the mirror, opened the door, turned around and walked out.
Walking on the way to Songzhuang, looking at the pedestrians not far away, Ma Xiaoniu's face turned red with embarrassment. Although he knew he was invisible, he still felt extremely unnatural standing naked in the sunlight.
They quickened their pace and soon arrived at Wang Bapi's house.
Wang Bapi's house was much more luxurious. It had a large courtyard of one or two hundred square meters, a three-story building, and dark gold tiles on the outside of the building. The entire courtyard was also paved with blue tiles.
