Chapter 30 It turns out that the gender difference cannot even communicate
In Su Wen's memory, this was the second time that Liticia showed a crying face.
The first time was of course half a year ago, when Su Wen bought this half-elf girl who had just turned 17 from the slave market. At that time, Liticia followed her through half a city as if she had lost her soul. Finally, when she walked into the dilapidated door, she suddenly knelt on the hard and cold floor and cried bitterly for half an hour. No matter how Su Wen persuaded her, she could not help but force her to pull her into the room she had reserved in advance, stuffed the maid she had already prepared in the latter's horror gaze, and then closed the door of the room, which was only then that she could barely solve the problem.
And this kind of crying Su Wen is not difficult to understand.
As a inferior race in human society, Liticia's mother was a half-elf slave of the previous generation, and it was completely unimportant to whom her father was. In short, as a private property, slaves and their descendants can be legally traded. However, in order to avoid trouble, the descendants of slaves are often not sold locally, but instead conduct cross-city and regional trade activities through intermediary agencies similar to slave traders. Therefore, Trides City is also a backbone for Liticia. The half-elf girl who has no ability to protect herself is sold as a slave in a foreign land. No matter how she thinks about it, it will not be a warm and healing fairy tale.
Because of this, Su Wen could feel the confusion and despair of Liticia at that time, so it is not difficult to understand that stubborn crying - it was just the last struggle of the poor man who was about to fall into the abyss.
But, but...
What's going on now?
Seeing Liticia rolling down like a dam, as if she was about to burst out countless suppressed emotions, Su Wen fell into a brief confusion, and soon afterwards she took a breath of cold air.
‘I don’t know when she has hated me to the core!’
Although she knew that Liticia must have misunderstood something and would never drive her out of this old house, Su Wen still felt a strong sense of frustration - crying represents sadness and sorrow, and in severe cases it even contains despair. In short, most of the time it is a manifestation of negative emotions. Liticia usually speaks more than three sentences to herself, but today's conversation has never been more than before. However, before Su Wen could be happy, she burst into such a severe disgust and sadness. Doesn't it mean that in her eyes, even saying a few more words to herself is a torment?
Oh my God!
Su Wen felt his scalp numb.
Fortunately, Zhongtian claimed to be a good person, but he did not realize that his image in the eyes of others was so bad!
Su Wen wanted to hand the handkerchief on the table to the crying Liticia, but it was almost certain that the latter would throw it away in disgust, so he gave up this plan. After a brief thought, in this obviously disgusted occasion, in this situation, apart from telling the good news that had been held in his heart for a long time and trying to relieve Liticia's disgust for herself, Su Wen really didn't know what to do.
So Su Wen stood up from the dining table, walked to Liticia, and kindly put her hands on her shoulders.
When his palms touched his still tender shoulders, Su Wen keenly noticed the electric shock from Liticia and the trembling that followed. So his heart was even more and more painful - this reaction that was touched by garbage but dared not speak out made him feel more and more that he was really a scumbag.
"Don't worry, I will never kick you out."
Su Wen tried to make her tone more kind so that the other party would not dislike her more. And Liticia was still crying, but her voice was obviously much smaller. She even raised her head and looked at Su Wen quietly. Her pear blossoms looked so cute.
Seeing this, Su Wen was delighted.
He decided to pursue the victory, and it would be a great result if he could make the half-elf maid no longer hate him so much before leaving.
"Because I will leave Trides City tomorrow! Look, I have obtained my certificate of graduation, and of course I have to go to a higher level Magic Academy to study, so the ownership of this house will be yours in the future. How could I drive you out?" Su Wen shook the shoulders of the elf maid and said with a divine eyes, "Not only that, I have also canceled your slave status in the Civil Affairs Hall. You will be a citizen of Trides City in the future! You can do whatever you want without asking for my opinion, and you can rest assured that if nothing unexpected happens, I will never return to Trides in the future!"
Anyway, this surprise will be said sooner or later, Su Wen simply took this opportunity to pour it out. Of course, he couldn't guarantee the last sentence, but he added it specially to make Liticia happy. He believed that Liticia would definitely turn worries into joy after hearing this good news. Although it would not be a huge reversal of her attitude towards her, she would not be as disgusting as seeing a fly...
Huh? Wait, why are you crying again?
Seeing that Liticia not only did not clear the rain, she shook her arm away and shed tears silently again, Su Wen didn't feel that she was crying with joy.
‘By the way, I must have thought I was teasing her!’
Su Wen suddenly woke up, then hurried into his room. After whisking for a while, he got the property transfer certificate and the Trides citizenship certificate that he had prepared half a month ago. Although these two certificates were very light and thin, they determined the identity and even the fate of the half-elf maid. Su Wen believed that their weight would definitely be heavier than his own words.
After taking the envelope engraved with the official seal of Trides, Liticia had no intention of taking it apart. She just stood there in her arms, lowered her head deeply, and the slight sobs gradually stopped. Soon, she used the white cuffs of the maid's outfit to wipe away the tears on her face, and there were two red circles on her expressionless face, and her hair, which had just been washed, was slightly scattered.
"I see."
Liticia's voice was very light, hoarse and plain. Su Wen did not hear strong resentment and disgust, nor did she hear hidden joy and relief. After saying that, she stopped staying, but began the daily cleaning of the house in silence as usual.
“…Huh?”
This is not the same as expected.
After a long time, Su Wen realized that the following text was gone and scratched his hair unconsciously. What about the surprise that he had agreed?
But...well, at least this result is not too bad.
A taciturn character like Liticia probably won't easily reveal her happiness on the surface, otherwise she wouldn't have lived together for half a year, and she hadn't seen a smile on her face before.
So comforted himself, Su Wen felt a little relieved. After ate the remaining meals in big mouthfuls, he quickly returned to the room.
...
As soon as he sat at his desk, Su Wen heard the message sent by the system.
"Ding! The daily refresh time of the redemption system has arrived. Can you please check out the new redemption products?"
Su Wen looked at his remaining redemption points, which had four eye-catching numbers of 2594, and there was still a gap of tens of thousands of points from his debt. This difference seems to be a long time ago. If Su Wen did not spend any points and focused on completing daily tasks, he would have been able to achieve his goal in more than two months. However, if the system could save up the redemption points so easily, it would not be called a cheating system. It can always find a reason for Su Wen to consume redemption points: for example, the Tianhaiyue M-01 first-generation kinetic pistol in the sewer. If it weren't for its appearance, Su Wen would have lost his life long ago, so no matter how touching the price, he could only buy it with his nose.
What, you said you got the lottery? Who believes that thing!
Su Wen promised that even if the lucky big roulette was drawn a thousand times, it would definitely be the last prize. The system would not be so idiotic that he would take out more advanced and high-end weapons to kill all sides... or be killed, at least not now.
Therefore, whenever Su Wen saw the refresh reminder of regular products, he was extremely conflicted. If he didn't open it, he was afraid of missing out on things that were cheap and could exchange for gold coins. He had to join the shopping party to keep his safety by opening it. However, since he had only been half a day before he set out to "tourism" around half the Doron Empire, the system should not make any messy things for himself... It would be strange!
Su Wen swept through the dozens of items that appeared on the desktop out of thin air, and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Slime breeding and reproduction technology quick-format, 100 redemption points; "Slime cooking skills", 150 redemption points; "Technique to make jelly with edible gel instead of edible gel", 120 redemption points; "How to mass-produce Fly* Cup with Slime with excellent performance", 200 redemption points; "The Sutra of the 'Slime King'' to make wealth", 140 redemption points..."
Looking at these ten books with various kinds of but all slime-themed books, and glanced at the little life that was sleeping in a transparent jar not far away and recovered at an extremely slow speed, Su Wen felt the strong malice from the system.
Especially the red book "Massive Production of Fly* Cups with Slimes", Su Wen had to admit that this book made him have a strong interest. Unfortunately, when he put his hand on the book and wanted to open it, his fingers were bounced off by a burst of unintentional strange force, and he immediately received a systematic warning: "Unsold products cannot be used, and book products are not allowed to be tried, otherwise they will be forced to purchase."
"Tsk, it's a tyrant."
He had no choice but to give up.
Su Wen would certainly not be stupid enough to really buy these strange books. At least they cannot be exchanged for a large number of gold coins, and the exchange points that cannot be exchanged for gold coins and cannot significantly improve their strength is meaningless. This is the summary of experience that Su Wen has obtained in the past six months. Therefore, after almost no consideration, he ignored all the regular products that were refreshed today and repatriated them all. At the same time, he seemed to understand what the system wanted to express.
"This flying cup... no, this slime is not just a mission item?"
