Su Xi had been in the hospital for more than ten days, and it was almost time for her to be discharged. Therefore, her mother came to the hospital early in the morning to accompany her for the final checkup. After the checkup, she would be discharged tomorrow.
Mother Su no longer had to worry about money. She thus looked refreshed and walked with a light heart. She was also very generous and bought two pancakes for Su Xi and transferred 200 yuan to her via WeChat as pocket money for this week.
Su Xi was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes while holding the pancake in her mouth.
After wasting the whole morning, three full days had passed in the game. Su Xi couldn’t help herself, and while still waiting in line for the checkup, she took out her phone and logged into the game.
When she came online again, it was rare that the cub had not gone out but was busying himself in the yard – and he was wearing the animal skin clothes that she had prepared for him.
If the original cub was a thin and simple sketch wearing an old white robe, then the fur of the animal skin made the current cub look like a hunter with short arms and legs, seeming like a little leopard busying around on the screen!
As Su Xi lined up, she puffed up her cheeks and tried to hold back her laughter, her heart however melted by such cuteness!
She now knew what the mentality of those players who spent money to buy skins for game characters was——
If it were her, she would also want to see the cub wearing all kinds of clothes.
…It’s a pity that this cub is rather arrogant and refuses to change the clothes she gave him easily.
But what was the cub busy with?
Su Xi saw him going back and forth between the chicken coops and carefully enlarged the basket in his hand. When she saw it, she was also shocked – how could there be so many eggs? It had only been three days, and these hens had laid so many eggs?!
Were the effects of oxytocin purchased from the mall so terrible?!
“It’s also thanks to the cold-proof tent.” The system said, “All the products in the mall are 100% effective, so the recovery effect of the typhoid medicine is also relatively strong. Are you sure you don’t want to spend more money, girl?”
Although Su Xi had money, she was definitely not the type of girl who would spend it recklessly without restraint. She ignored the system, stared at the baby running around on the interface with a kind look on her face like an auntie for a while, then switched the interface to his room, intending to see if there was anything that needed to be cleaned up.
And at this moment, she caught a glimpse of the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and those few words.
….
——”Who are you?”
The handwriting was very powerful and was written quickly but not sloppily, which showed the complicated and chaotic mood of the boy when he wrote it.
Su Xi was stunned for a moment. Could this also be an interaction between the protagonist and the players designed in the game?
Of course she wanted to interact, but when she tried to pull the brush on the table and drag it crookedly on the paper, no ink came out.
She was restricted and still could not communicate with my baby.
She had to earn 100 points – how long will she have to complete this task to get that many points?!
Su Xi threw down the pen helplessly.
She then said to the system: “At present, the two main tasks have not been completed yet. In addition to the main tasks, is there any way to increase the points as soon as possible?”
The system said: “I have already introduced it last time. In addition to the main storyline, you can also pave the way for your protagonist by enhancing his skills, interpersonal relationships, external environment, appearance, and physical fitness. These can also increase points.”
The external environment was the aspect that had added the most points to Su Xi since she started playing the game. As for the other aspects, except for the two times when he was humiliated and then his interpersonal relations improved which led to an increase in points, there was almost no other aspect that had increased the points.
Physical fitness–
Was it to try to coax the kid into doing push-ups or something like that? But she couldn’t communicate with him, and there was definitely no way to get him to do it subjectively for now.
Skills–
Just when Su Xi was planning to study how to start in this regard.
The system popped up a side quest: “Side quest 1: Please tie a beautiful bow string on the bow and arrow that the protagonist is about to make. There are rewards for completing the side quest.”
Su Xi: …………
???
What kind of weird mission was this? Could it be that although the cub looked cold and aloof, he was actually a delicate little prince who liked bows?
She asked, “Are there any other side quests that can be done right now?”
The system popped up: “There is a chef in the back kitchen of Ning Wang’s Mansion, named Master Ding, who is very proficient in spring plowing and autumn harvest. He was falsely accused by the housekeeper a few days ago, endured humiliation, and is planning to resign and return to the countryside. In the future, he can become a capable assistant to the protagonist to buy land and conduct business transactions under an alias. Please find him and let the protagonist use him.”
Both of these side quests were a bit ahead of schedule, so Su Xi could only write them down for now.
She closed the side quest interface and went to the yard to see what step the cub had reached.
….
In the courtyard, Lu Huan was putting all the eggs in a wooden barrel, then he wrapped it with an old robe, and went to the side door of Ning Wang’s Mansion.
During these three days, the hens were kept in a warm chicken coop, laying two to three eggs per hen per day.
At this point, he counted all the eggs and found that there were a total of 192 eggs.
So many eggs were very heavy. If Lu Huan had not secretly practiced martial arts since he was a child and had great strength, he would probably not be able to lift them. The guard who went to Ning Wang’s mansion to trade for him took them and bent over in shock.
The side door was close to the Fourth Aunt’s courtyard. Su Xi had unlocked it last time, so she switched the interface and watched the cub hand the egg to the guard.
The bubbles that popped out of the guard’s head were all:
???!!!!!!!!!
When Guard C opened the robe above the barrel and saw so many eggs inside, his jaw almost dropped and he was completely stunned!
Everyone in Ning Wang’s Mansion knew that after the Third Young Master received a whole house as a reward from the Old Lady, he started to grow vegetables and raise chickens. There was nothing wrong with that, after all, the Third Young Master did not have twenty taels of silver every month like the other two legitimate young masters. Although his situation was much better now than before, it was equivalent to being exiled and he could only be self-sufficient in terms of food and clothing.
So he took Lu Huan’s money and agreed to help Lu Huan trade outside Ning Wang’s Mansion. He also thought that Lu Huan would just be selling a little bit of things every month in exchange for some food.
But who would have expected——
It had only been a few days since the Third Young Master bought a few chickens, and the hens had laid so many eggs all of a sudden?
So many eggs?!
Oh my god!
Guard C imagined the money it would bring and almost fainted.
A pound of pork cost thirty cents, and an egg cost six cents. These one hundred and ninety-two eggs would bring in one thousand one hundred and fifty-two cents, which was more than one tael of silver.
If the Third Young Master could earn more than one tael of silver just by raising chickens in three days, then if he added other crops, wouldn’t he be much richer than the two Young Masters in a month?!
This……
Guard C swallowed his saliva and suddenly felt that it might not be a bad idea to resign from Ning Wang’s Mansion and follow the Third Young Master.
He could secretly sell things for Lu Huan, while Lu Huan walked back through the side door.
Lu Huan certainly hadn’t thought of staying in Ning Wang’s Mansion forever, relying on this small piece of land to grow some crops and become self-sufficient.
He needed money, so he needed more land, more manpower, and the novel and special cold-proof shed that the man gave him – if he could understand the principle behind it, perhaps he could copy many of them, use a pseudonym, and start a farm outside.
Once he had a farm, he would have a steady flow of money.
However, these thoughts were not urgent for Lu Huan.
His most urgent task was, it was already dusk on the third day, had that person… seen the note he left?
Thinking of this, Lu Huan hurriedly walked through the bamboo forest and walked back.
In the past, every time he came back here, it was deserted and there was no emotion in his heart. He just felt that the world was so big, but there seemed to be no place for him to go. But now, he actually had some faint hopes in his heart that he himself was not aware of.
…Whether that person was joking or teasing him, he actually, absurdly and humbly hoped that person would continue and not suddenly disappear…
Lu Huan pursed his lips and lowered his dark eyes slightly, trying his best not to let the slight light in his eyes be discovered. With complicated and unspeakable feelings, he tried his best to pretend to be calm and returned to the house.
However……
He walked over quickly, held his breath and glanced at the note, but still——
Only his own handwriting.
However, Lu Huan’s gaze suddenly focused – the brush next to the paper had clearly been moved. Although the traces were very subtle, he had amazing perception and still noticed it.
So, that meant that person had been here!
…But there was no answer.
Why?
Was he disdainful of paying attention?
Or – did he think it was unnecessary?
The cold wind blew in gently from the window, blowing the thin paper in Lu Huan’s hand. He was silent for a moment, crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it away.
….
And Su Xi outside the screen could only watch as the cub lower his chubby face, the light in his eyes fading away in a flash.
She:……
The pancake in her hand suddenly didn’t taste good anymore.
The author has something to say:
The cub: You didn’t reply to me even a single word.
Su Xi: Wuwuwuwu, there is nothing I can do. I can only work hard to earn points! (Erkang hands)
