Chapter 125 I'm Actually Not That Curious
Pei Hening looked at her quietly and said slowly, "Actually, I didn't really want to know that much."
Li Pangui said with a hint of regret, "That's such a pity."
Li Pangui watched Pei Hening's departing figure, her eyes slightly lowered.
This "game-changer" is optimistic, has independent thinking ability, is willing to question, and does not blindly worship official authority. Overall, he is not bad.
Pei Hening walked to the RV, opened the door, and saw Chu Xuange waiting for her.
She asked in surprise, "Did Ruen have a change of heart today? get out of class ended so early."
"The person who taught me today wasn't him, it was a puppet."
Pei Hening hung her coat on the hanger, sat on the sofa, and picked up the rabbit doll to play with.
"He must have gone to the welcome party; it's been quite lively lately."
Chu Xuange told 001 to drive and asked, "Is it not over yet?"
"Yeah, the school's benefits are really good. They hold a welcome party for so long, it must be a lot of fun."
As the RV slowly drove out of the school, Pei Hening was about to draw the curtains to block out the pervasive light pollution when she saw the rabbit teacher who had enrolled her during the internal testing.
The rabbit teacher, wearing a red cloak, hurried into the school, carrying a stack of documents that looked somewhat like registration forms.
"It's Teacher Rabbit, the one who signed us up."
Chu Xuange immediately understood what she meant: "Advance enrollment."
Pei Hening hummed in agreement: "I don't want to see people getting rich, getting rich, getting rich at school."
"I know, I won't let him offend your eyes."
He had made two preparations: if Falcon didn't cooperate, the spot wouldn't have fallen into [Get Rich, Get Rich, Get Rich].
"That's for the best."
Pei Hening poured herself a glass of warm water and drank it, then saw Chu Xuange replying to messages.
She leaned closer: "Who is it?"
Chu Xuange enabled the light screen permission.
[In good spirits]: Guess who I ran into? A fox traffic cop! It was even checking for drunk drivers!
[In good spirits]: I just had a few drinks at the bar and was caught as soon as I drove out.
[In good mental condition]: After much persuasion and even a favor, I was able to escape danger.
[Princess Ningning]: 666
[In good spirits]:...So perfunctory?
[In good mental condition]: I shared information with you and this is how you treat me? Where is your conscience?
[Princess Ningning]: Brother Conscience.
[Princess Ningning]: You got caught bribing and are being punished, but my baby and I aren't going to bail you out.
[Good mental state]:???
"Can you get arrested for accepting bribes?"
Chu Xuange raised his hand to support her head, which was resting on his shoulder, and subconsciously adjusted it to a more comfortable position for her.
"Yes, that can happen."
Pei Hening leaned against someone and also opened her screen; she wanted to check the status of the chat channel.
Well, the main reason is that I want to see if anyone will challenge Wang Jingyun.
[Two star-crossed lovers]: How many is this now?
[The young master smiled again]: We're short one player for mahjong, anyone want to join? Location: Ice House
[Working overtime until midnight]: Forty-nine already. I don't understand these players. They have absolutely no sense of perspective.
[In a meeting this afternoon]: I've noticed a pattern: those who challenge Sister Jingyun are mostly players from other servers.
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: @Young Master is Laughing Again, did you get your hands on a mahjong set? Who are the players?
[The young master laughed again]: Me, Shark Ten Years, Spicy Strips with Steamed Buns, do you want to join us?
[Wishing you prosperity]: Those who still want to take on the challenge, hurry up, I'm still waiting for you. The challenge ends at 5:50.
[Gentle Killer]: @WishingYouProsperityI'mHere
[Light Breeze and Calm Clouds]: @Thousands of Mountains and Rivers, are you out of prison?
[Beautiful Frozen Lady]:?
[Lamb Who's Dodging Off]:?
[Sanmu Qingyun]:?
[Thousands of Mountains and Rivers]: Yes, I got out early. Prison is no place for humans!
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: @Thousands of Mountains and Rivers, can I sell internal prison information and reasons for early release?
[A Glass of Strong Liquor]: What's going on? Released from prison? Could it be that this guy, who traveled thousands of miles to survive on the highway, ended up in jail?
[Thousands of Mountains and Rivers]: @FairyDescendingToEarth for Sale, I only need vehicle upgrade supplies and warm clothing, I'm freezing to death.
[Rock Sugar Pear]: How come he got arrested and went to jail? That's hilarious!
[Qingqingjiang]: I remember robbing NPCs.
[Thousands of Mountains and Rivers]: That's all in the past. I've already served my sentence and been released.
[This isn't right]: 666, you guys are really good at playing the division game.
[Nose blocked]: Now this is your section too @This isn't right
[A fairy descends to earth]: Privately.
"There are quite a few people challenging Wang Jingyun, and it's not over yet."
"By the way, back in school, [Invincible Ice Cola] chatted with me."
Chu Xuange asked in a low voice, "What did you talk about?"
Pei Hening: "She came to spread goodwill and, incidentally, to inform me that the Magic Forest was rebuilt two hundred years after it was destroyed."
Chu Xuange raised an eyebrow: "Rebuilt again?"
"Yeah, I heard it's related to Titien, but I don't know the specifics."
"Didn't she take the opportunity to invite you to join the official team?"
Pei Hening sat up and leaned back in her chair: "I was invited, but I declined."
"Did I make things difficult for you?"
"No."
——
Partition 01-949.
Boxing gym.
Li Pangui sat in the spectator area, calmly watching [Falcon] and [Megsil] exchange blows.
She said, "Falcon, stop dawdling."
"receive."
[Falcon] flipped his wrist and grabbed [Megsil]'s forearm, using the force to twist his waist and kick to the side.
[Megsil] crashed heavily onto the ring, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He looked at the person in front of him, a deep sense of fear flashing in his eyes. Every attack and defense of his was precise and ruthless, each move aimed straight for the vital points, without the slightest bit of pretense.
As expected of an official member of the Chinese government, he's incredibly strong.
[Megsil] lay motionless on the ring, but his mouth kept chattering: "Falcon, I am one-sixteenth Chinese, so I am half Chinese. How can you be so cruel to a weak commoner like me who can't even kill a chicken? Do you have any conscience?"
Li Pangui was drinking a fatigue-relieving medicine when she heard this and almost choked. She looked the person lying on the ground up and down and asked, "Who taught you Chinese?"
Her word choice and sentence structure are even worse than when she first started kindergarten.
[Megsil] raised his hand and scratched his black curly hair, lying on the ring, and said proudly, "I'm self-taught. I know I'm a genius. You don't need to praise me."
Li Pangui didn't intend to praise him; instead, he brought up the pre-match bet: "If you lose, you'll be subject to our arrangements within your division."
[Megsilly] got up from the ring, looking as honest as a greenhorn: "Fine, I was going to follow your plan anyway, this beating I took was totally for nothing."
[Falcon] calmly took out a bottle of healing potion and tossed it to him: "I was holding back, your injury isn't serious."
[Megsil] looked at the bruises and swellings on his body and his lips twitched. He was about to go to God's house and he was still holding back?
At six o'clock sharp, Pei Hening got out of the car and opened the box, and discovered the snow monster that was gradually taking shape not far away.
With a slightly cold expression, she walked over and killed the Yeti before it could fully take shape.
"Congratulations to player [DibiDibi] for defeating a Yeti (Undeveloped)*1, experience +100."
Once she was sure no yeti was taking shape, she turned around and walked back through the fluffy snow.
Then they saw Chu Xuange standing not far away, playing with a dagger in his hand: "Not bad, baby~"
Pei Hening sized him up and said irritably, "You think I can't beat you?"
Chu Xuange sheathed his dagger and walked towards her: "Only those who have wronged you know how wronged you are. I clearly came down to open the box."
He added, "Lately, all the boxes have been copper; I'd like to see if there are any silver boxes."
To increase credibility, he actually took the box out of the automatic pickup device and opened it.
Pei Hening didn't like the biting cold. She said, "Hurry up, it's very cold outside. I'm going back now."
Chu Xuange quickened his pace: "Okay."
Pei Hening returned to the car and observed Chu Xuange's monster-killing movements through the car window; they were clean, efficient, and ruthless.
He seemed to notice her gaze, turned his head to look at her, and met her eyes. The coldness in his phoenix eyes melted away like snow and ice.
A short while later, Chu Xuange returned carrying the supplies he had brought out.
"What opened?"
"Flour, do you want to eat dumplings, baby?"
Pei Hening followed him towards the kitchen area: "I'll help out~"
Chu Xuange took out the cabbage and scallions he had washed before getting out of the car: "Okay, can you chop these up for me? They'll be used as dumpling filling."
Seeing that she had started preparing, Chu Xuange took out the last piece of pork from the refrigerator, washed and chopped it, and then rolled out dumpling wrappers.
While the two of them were having a great time, the other players weren't having such a good time.
Wang Jingyun had been busy all day and was about to rest when she received a message from [Falcon].
Braving the freezing cold of minus thirty degrees Celsius, we got out of the car to find the Yeti and test its strength.
She found the Yeti, and when she tried to attack it based on the information provided by [Falcon], she realized how difficult it was to kill!
It took her a full hour to kill the Yeti.
[Congratulations on getting rich]: Brother Shen, I attacked it according to the information you provided, but it's really hard to kill, this thing is very strong.
[Falcon]: Send me the data, and I'll compile and evaluate it.
[Wishing you prosperity]: Okay.
[Falcon]: Are partitions 99-999 difficult to manage? Do you need help?
[Wishing you prosperity]: No need for help. I also ran into Jiang Lengyu and have already contacted her.
[Falcon]: Okay.
[Falcon]: Be careful.
Meanwhile, Zhong Zhengyi was also busy. He first killed the Yeti, and after assessing its strength, he sent some life-saving items to [Wind Blows Grass and Sees Cattle and Sheep].
His external warehouse couldn't be allowed to break down. In addition to storing supplies and items there, he also put the attribute points he had temporarily extracted into the external warehouse.
Zhong Zhengyi's brows furrowed with frustration as he thought about the increasingly frequent checkups.
Through this period of time, he also realized that something was wrong with that awful place.
His wife is a Christian, and he has some knowledge of churches from a young age.
When he saw the church site, he thought it was like a normal church, and he was overjoyed. He went in without any suspicion, but...
Soon, he'll be able to say goodbye to that awful place.
——
Forty days of survival on the highway.
Pei Hening placed the passively triggered healing potion on the bedside table and quickly roused herself to get up.
She has to attend one more day of classes today, and tomorrow she can go to the Magic Creation Innovation Challenge with 823786. She has a bit of a picnic syndrome.
When she came out, she saw Chu Xuange holding a light screen and sending messages.
Pei Hening walked over and pulled her into his arms. He glanced at her clothes and asked in a low voice, "Why aren't you wearing the black turtleneck I put on your bed? It's -36 degrees Celsius outside today, it's very cold."
"I don't want to wear that dress, the collar is too high."
Chu Xuange nodded and said, "Then I'll find you a scarf to wear when we get off the bus later."
"Why are you texting A-Ye so early in the morning?"
Chu Xuange nuzzled her with his head, and said dizzily, "Assign him something to do regarding the school's enrollment quota."
"By the way, I'm going to participate in the Magic Creation Innovation Challenge with 823786 tomorrow. I'll confirm the time with it today."
Chu Xuange's dizzy mind instantly cleared, and his brows furrowed unconsciously. Magic Creation Innovation Challenge?
He knew about the competition, but that was all; he had never participated and wasn't sure if it was dangerous.
Seeing his silence, Pei Hening understood what he meant and reached out to touch his hair: "I went with 823786, and Xixia agreed, so it should be fine."
Chu Xuange suppressed the growing panic in his heart and smiled, "Alright, have fun then."
"I'm going to get something to eat."
Pei Hening had just finished eating when she heard the familiar electronic voice.
She looked at Chu Xuange: "I triggered a random instance."
"Congratulations to player [滴比滴比] for triggering the random dungeon 'Mi's Home Reconstruction Project.' Player panel, inventory, talents, and weapons are disabled."
"Duplicates being deployed—"
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!"
"Dungeon deployment complete!"
"Beep—Automatically triggered [Double Earnings] [Yes, I'm the boss]—"
[Copy: Mimi's Home Reconstruction Project]
[Rank: C]
[Background: A fire broke out in East Lansing County a month ago, destroying two buildings and affecting hundreds of homes. The municipal government has built new buildings and hired a renovation company to improve occupancy rates and residents' well-being!]
[Task 1: Complete the home renovation within seven days, ensuring 100% client satisfaction.]
[Task 2: Earn 1000 copper coins]
[Number of players: 500]
[Copy Rules:]
1. Death within the instance means death for the player.
2. Attacking NPCs within the instance is prohibited.
3. Players who fail to complete the task within seven days will have 80% of their wealth automatically deducted.
4. Players automatically acquire the identity of a decorator.
When Pei Hening came to her senses, she found herself in front of an unfinished two-story building, wearing a work uniform with the words "Happy Mimi Home" printed on it.
The yard in front of the two-story building has not yet been covered with grass, and even the walls have not been painted.
Pei Hening remained silent.
After preparing herself mentally, she was about to knock on the door.
Then she heard a male voice from behind her: "You're the renovation worker sent by the municipal department?"
Pei Hening turned around and saw a black and white calico cat.
The black and white calico cat, dressed in a suit and bow tie, stood elegantly, its golden-green cat eyes calmly watching her.
Her appearance is very similar to the cat in a movie she once watched called "The Cat Returns".
