A Genius in a Second to Remember Love? To provide you with exciting novels to read.

The Goblin Jumper Cables were very profitable, and the materials required were not very expensive. However, Lu Li could offer a ridiculously high price, and many players would still rush to buy them.

It would be a good time for him to make a fortune with his Engineering skills.

After making five Perfect Arcanite Rifles, Lu Li was still three EXP short of 260. He planned to look for a new recipe when he had time.

The recipe for the Perfect Arcanite Rifle had already disappeared from his Engineering skill list.

That was the life skill with an upper limit. If he wanted to continue making them, he would have to look for another recipe.

Lu Li equipped the rifles and mailed one to Water Fairy. After a moment of hesitation, he added a New Year's greeting to it. He also mailed one to Moonlight. The greeting was written in another paragraph, but it was much calmer when he sent it.

The remaining two (this time, he did not count wrongly) were sold to World's Best Friend and Weilan Haifeng.

Weilan Haifeng could not sell them for a high price, so he only charged them the cost price. Since Weilan Haifeng was only charging the cost price, World's Best Friend naturally did not charge too much. Thus, Lu Li's deal was a loss.

Fortunately, he could look forward to the Goblin Jumper Cables.

With this thing, anyone could become a healer and resurrect their dead teammates.

Unfortunately, it could not be used in battle. Compared to regular resurrection spells, it did not have a 100% success rate. If one was unlucky, they might not even succeed after using one Goblin Jumper Cables.

The day before the New Year, it snowed in Jiangnan City.

It was said that 200 years ago, it never snowed in Jiangnan City. Later, it started to snow, but it was not as thick as the snow in the North. Even when it covered the ground, it was only a thin layer.

This year, however, there was more snow. When Lu Li went out in the morning, the whole world was white.

"Wow, it's snowing." Lu Xin came out from behind him and ran into the snow. She was as happy as a rabbit.

She was wearing a pink down jacket, a white scarf, and a white hat. Only her eyes and forehead were exposed, making her look furry.

In the past, the siblings would hide in the shabby house that Lu Li had sealed up with waste paper. What they feared the most was that the winter wind was too strong.

It seemed that there was always a gap for the seal to pass through. No matter how many things Lu Li used to seal it, it would not be able to seal it. He could only wear more clothes or move around to warm up his body. If he had nothing to do, he would cover himself with a blanket.

In the past, there were always fewer jobs available in the winter, so starvation was a common occurrence.

Especially in the early years when Lu Li was still weak, it was thanks to the uncles and aunties in the neighborhood who would occasionally give them something to help the two siblings, so they did not starve to death.

"Brother, let's go see Grandpa Li and the others," Lu Xin suddenly said after playing for a while.

Lu Li was silent for a while, then said slowly, "Xinxin, we've already come out of that place. Why do we have to go back? Can't you just forget about that place?"

"But brother, those people helped us." Lu Xin pouted. She was obviously not satisfied with her brother's attitude.

She had a kind nature and was well protected by Lu Li, so she rarely saw the true evil side of society. Even if someone offended her, she would just turn around and forget about it. However, she would always remember the kindness of others, no matter how insignificant the help was.

"I can send someone to deliver something." Lu Li had always spoiled his sister, so he did not mind her being a little naive.

Lu Xin ran over and held Lu Li's arm. Her voice was soft, and she acted like a spoiled child. "Let's go and see. We're free today. Besides, brother, didn't you say that you should do as much as you can?"

When she was young, Lu Xin liked small animals. When she saw stray cats and dogs, she wanted to take them home to raise.

Although Lu Li could not bear to disappoint his sister, he could not raise pets when he and his brother could not raise them well. So, he instilled in his sister the concept of doing as much as she could.

Now, she had shot herself in the foot. She could only blame herself for being too obedient.

Lu Li thought for a moment and asked, "We're doing better now, but what do you want to do?"

He was a little worried that he had raised his sister to be too kind. If she asked him to use the money he earned to help the neighbors in the slums, Lu Li would not be able to accept it. He was not the Virgin Mary, and this was not in line with his principles.

He had to admit that, except for his sister, Lu Li's contributions to anyone else had a purpose.

It was just like when he had distributed the equipment he had obtained to Azure Sea Breeze and his other teammates. He had done so for the sake of his loyal teammates. Now, he was doing his best to fight for the benefits of his Guild members so that they would work for him wholeheartedly.

"Hmm …" Lu Xin tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Why don't we buy some meat for them?"

Fortunately, this girl was not a prodigal.

There was a market not far from the slums where they lived. Because it was the end of the year, there was a lot of traffic, and business was unbelievably good.

It was not that the poor could not afford meat, it was just that they could not enjoy it to their heart's content. Their favorite food was still the cheap vegetables.

Lu Li calculated the amount of meat he needed and asked the slaughterhouse to send it over. Most of it was beef that these people did not usually buy, and there were also some rare foods.

With the development of the economy, there would always be people suffering because of old age, illness, or other reasons. The so-called old age and sick care had actually become a joke more than two hundred years ago.

After all, no one could change the way they aged for a few years, nor could they choose to have certain diseases.

Many people who walked out of the slums this year were once hooligans in everyone's eyes, or weirdos like Lu Li and his sister who were poor but still wanted to study.

Now, almost everyone knew that Lu Li had walked out with his sister.

The group of hooligans that went out later also seemed to have found another way out because of him.

Now that Lu Li had brought his sister back, it was a glorious return to his hometown. Coupled with the two cars of New Year goods that arrived at almost the same time, everyone in the slums who could move flocked to collect their goods and watch the fun.

Lu Li looked on coldly as his sister mingled with the uncles and aunties.

Unfortunately, he could not experience the joy of helping others. He only felt gratified as long as his sister was happy.

Lu Xin played too crazily and caught a cold.

Someone was instantly furious. Without hesitation, he threw his sister into the house and locked her up. She was not allowed to step out of the house for the entire New Year.

Actually, the pain from the surgery was already gone.

Even if there was a little rejection, it would not affect her daily life. At least, a cold would not affect Lu Xin. Lu Li was completely overreacting.
