"The big boss said it's very useful. When he first entered the Bloodline World, his ability was very low. It was a talisman given to him by his wife. Later, when I joined the Bosch Group, he gave it to me as a gift, "San Wu said." But I don't need it. You can have it. "
Li Xianyu held the national emblem in his hand, and he felt as if he had been blessed by providence. He had transformed from a commoner into a ruler of this plane.
He carefully walked around the kitchen, living room, bedroom, and balcony. The national emblem was cold and did not show any signs of burning.
He shook his head at San Wu, not knowing if he should be happy or disappointed.
He returned to the living room and found the lady boss, Li Xianyu, with a serious face. "Your husband has a mental disorder because of the pressure in his life."
The lady boss: "Mental disorder?"
Li Xianyu didn't explain. He continued, "He dreamed that someone wanted to break his leg. According to the patient's psychological analysis, he was trying to avoid work. Perhaps he felt that life was too burdensome for him, so he gave himself the psychological suggestion that he didn't need to work if his leg was broken."
Li Xianyu was talking nonsense with a serious face, but it made sense. At least, the lady boss thought it made sense. She asked worriedly, "Then what should we do?"
He told the lady boss not to worry. Mental illness needed a long time to recuperate and take medication.
"There's something I'm curious about," Li Xianyu said. "How did you and your husband … meet?"
"Does this have anything to do with his illness?" the lady boss replied honestly. "We were junior high school classmates. After we got married, we came to Shanghai to work."
"His sister …"
"In my hometown, Doctor Li. Is there something wrong?" the lady boss asked nervously.
Li Xianyu waved his hand and thought, Did I guess wrong?
Then why did they want to break his leg?
Li Xianyu patted Great-grandmother's shoulder. "Let's go back."
Great-grandmother said, "Let me play another round."
Play your sister!
He dragged Great-grandmother away, said goodbye to the lady boss, and left in the elevator.
The mission required him to find out the details of the incident and solve it within 24 hours. But the couple didn't provide any particularly valuable clues.
His initial judgment was that it was the vengeful spirits of his deceased father and mother, and the reason was that his son was unfilial … He felt that this was too arbitrary, and that something was wrong.
As a newbie who lacked experience, Li Xianyu encountered a difficult problem in his first quest. He felt a little helpless, and his Great-grandmother and Senpai didn't seem very reliable.
This was just a small, insignificant task. The reward was five points, which could be exchanged for about 5,000 RMB.
"It's just a small mission, but it feels so difficult." Li Xianyu thought to himself, I'm really suitable to sit on the desk and do exercises. I'm a useless scholar. So what if I'm admitted to the University of Finance and Economics? I'm good at theory but useless at handwork.
"Good grandson," Great-grandmother called out coquettishly.
"I will never buy a gaming helmet, even if I die," Li Xianyu said immediately.
Great-grandmother snorted. She hugged his arm and shook it hard. "Come on, I'll buy it when I get my salary next month."
Li Xianyu felt that he and Great-grandmother should be swapped. He had never seen a 150-year-old Great-grandmother act coquettishly with a 20-year-old great-grandson.
"Don't even think about it."
Li Xianyu was determined. Great-grandmother had no choice but to snort angrily and kick him in the shin.
Great-grandmother said, "Then let's have Thai food tonight."
It wasn't that Thai food was really delicious, but that she had only eaten slightly better dishes.
Great-grandmother's heart ached. Li Xianyu thought to himself. Then he shook his head decisively. "200 to 300 RMB per person. It's too expensive. I can't afford it."
Great-grandmother said, "San Wu is rich."
"Aren't you embarrassed? How can you be so shameless?" Li Xianyu scolded as he looked at San Wu with anticipation. "San Wu, what do you think?"
San Wu thought for a moment. "I think you're shameless too."
Great-grandmother said angrily, "I'll pay you back when my grandson gets his salary. Stingy."
San Wu said, "You're the one who asked for my opinion."
Li Xianyu smiled awkwardly. "Let's have braised chicken. S County isn't open today, so we can only have braised chicken."
It was my fault. I shouldn't have asked for the opinion of a mocking machine.
San Wu said calmly, "I'm sorry, I accidentally said the truth that you guys are shameless. Although it's true, I don't care about the salary. Let's go eat. "
Li Xianyu covered his face. "Forget it. Let's have braised chicken. It's my treat."
If it wasn't for the fact that the ingredients were healthy, the braised chicken tasted pretty good. It was just that the menu was too limited, so it was easy to get sick of it.
In the small shop, Li Xianyu was facing two troublemakers. Great-grandmother and San Wu's table manners weren't very elegant, but beautiful women were still very pleasing to the eye even if they didn't have elegant table manners.
Li Xianyu looked at his great-grandmother, who was gorging herself on the food. Her cheeks were puffed up, her lips were glistening, and her eyes were bright and clear. Li Xianyu suddenly had a strange thought. With great-grandmother's beauty and soft voice, she would definitely be able to earn a lot of money if she became a live streamer. Then, he would become her manager, and the two of us would dominate the world of broadcasting. Then, he would look forward to the entertainment industry and reach the pinnacle of life. He would never have to worry about money again!
Tianfang Entertainment was a subsidiary of Bosch Group. He didn't even need to be a live streamer. He could just apply to the headquarters to debut. All he had to do was be a playboy under Great-grandmother and he would have endless money.
Great-grandmother was a spendthrift. She felt that only becoming a star or begging a rich man to support her could satisfy her spending needs.
But this idea was quickly rejected. Great-grandmother often said that she was a respectable person in the past. She was too respectable, so there were definitely many people in the bloodline world who knew her.
Considering that his dead father used to chop electric wires with a kitchen knife, there were sparks and lightning along the way. If Great-grandmother was recognized, he would be the unlucky one.
"What are you looking at?" Great-grandmother keenly sensed her great-grandson's malicious gaze and said, "I feel like you're up to no good."
"Sigh, my poor father died early. I have to take over his mess at such a young age and serve you." Li Xianyu sighed.
"It's Great-grandmother," she corrected.
Li Xianyu said, "Your surname is Li too, isn't it? You didn't marry into the Li family, so you shouldn't be called Great-grandmother."
"I don't care. Great-grandmother sounds more stylish," Great-grandmother said.
"As long as you're happy."
Great-grandmother put down her chopsticks and reached out to pat Li Xianyu's shoulder. "The late Emperor collapsed halfway through his business. Little Liu Chan, Great-grandmother was ordered to help you like Military Advisor Zhuge."
Li Xianyu rolled his eyes. "Don't. The late Emperor should rise from his coffin and continue his business."
The grandmother and granddaughter chatted with each other and ate the cheap, nutritionless dinner.
"Sob sob sob …"
A whimpering sound came from her feet. The dirty Samoyed limped into the shop and squatted by Great-grandmother's feet, looking at her with its shiny black eyes.
Its body was stained and emaciated, and its eyes begged for food were timid and eager.
"Western dog." Great-grandmother frowned and showed her displeasure, but she still swept all the chicken bones on the table to the ground.
The Samoyed whimpered and lowered its head to eat.
The chubby shop owner quickly walked over and kicked the Samoyed half a meter away. She scolded, "Go away, it stinks."
The Samoyed whimpered. Even though it was a mournful cry, it sounded weak. It rolled on the ground twice and limped away.
Li Xianyu noticed that it squatted under a tree by the roadside and licked the place where it was kicked. It then looked at the road in front of it, motionless.
Its figure was pitiful and lonely. It was really a loser dog.
In the same neighborhood, Li Xianyu had seen this dog many times. It seemed to always look like this, either squatting under a tree or lying on its stomach.
This was a stray dog that stayed at home.
If it was more diligent and willing to go around to eat, it would not be so thin and weak.
"Lady boss, you don't have to do this." Li Xianyu frowned.
"You don't know how annoying it is. It stays in front of the shop all day, dirty and smelly. Many customers don't come because of its smell, and the neighborhood management doesn't care." The lady boss complained, "I don't know what's wrong with this dog, but it keeps staying in front of the shop. It's often beaten by the boss in S County next door, but they can't chase it away. It's very stubborn. "
Li Xianyu said, "That's because you're kind. Lady boss, you're generous and much more tolerant than the guy next door. I don't like to eat at his place. It's much better here."
San Wu said coldly, "You said S County is closed, so we can only eat braised chicken today."
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
The lady boss turned and left silently.
Li Xianyu rubbed his forehead with his hand.
"Should we wait in front of their door after dinner?" Li Xianyu said thoughtfully, "When the evil comes out, San Wu will take care of it."
Great-grandmother said, "There's no evil."
Li Xianyu was stunned. "What?"
Great-grandmother's lips were shiny, and she said while eating, "There's no vengeful spirit in that family. Anyway, I didn't smell it."
Li Xianyu frowned deeply. Could it be that the owner really had a mental problem? He just happened to see his deceased mother on the seventh day of the week, so he had the first impression?
After dinner, after paying the bill, Li Xianyu wrapped the chicken bones on the table with a napkin and brought them out, ready to throw them to the loser dog.
Sensing someone approaching, the Samoyed immediately looked over and took a few steps back in panic, as if thinking that someone was coming to beat it up. It looked at Li Xianyu pitifully.
Li Xianyu squatted down and threw the bones in front of it. The Samoyed looked at him, then lowered its head to look at the bones, sniffed its nose, and slowly approached.
"Cheap Western dog." Great-grandmother said in disdain.
"Great-grandmother, you're wrong. This thing is quite expensive." Li Xianyu said.
"Yes, it's a cheap dog. The foreigners are vulgar and ugly. Naturally, dogs are cheap as well." Great-grandmother said confidently.
Li Xianyu shrugged. "Here you go again. Our Qing Dynasty is already dead."
Great-grandmother said, "Although the Qing Dynasty is dead, our people and heritage are not. Our country is vast and rich in resources."
Li Xianyu was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt a little sad.
Great-grandmother glared at him. "Did you raise this Western dog?"
Li Xianyu, "???"
Great-grandmother berated, "The foreigners bombarded our Great Qing's land, burning, killing, plundering, committing all sorts of crimes. Refugees are everywhere, and the people are unable to make a living. You unfilial descendants raised Western dogs and worshiped the foreigners. You're despicable. I didn't see so many Western dogs when I woke up a few decades ago, but now they're overrun. "
Li Xianyu, "…"
Great-grandmother said, "You said it's your family. When the foreigners killed your ancestors, did they treat us as family?"
Did Great-grandmother's brain finally stop working?
Or did she live for too long and become insane? Did she remember the past of her country's fall again?
He looked at San Wu, only to find that San Wu was looking over his shoulder, staring at something behind him.
"What, what are you looking at?" Li Xianyu's heart skipped a beat.
San Wu, "There's something behind you."
