"What? You gave up the skill of Year Eater?" The cat-shaped relief heard Jiang Yue's statement and was so shocked that his eyes almost fell off.
"Boy, is there water in your head? Or did you drink too much?"
"I have never seen anyone choose to give up the gift package for newbies. You will know later that it is rare for Zhiling to be generous like this. How about you, treating it as scrap and exchanging it for points? How useless are points?"
Although he is the ex, after the reboot of Zhiling, the settings are all new. Naturally, he doesn't know what the points are used for in this setting.
But he still understands the words "waste disposal". What a mind-numbing operation it is to treat good skills like "waste disposal"?
Jiang Yue did not regret his choice.
Stealing other people's life span to extend his own, he really couldn't do such a thing.
One second he was a dragon-slaying warrior, and the next second he became an evil dragon. Jiang Yue obviously couldn't accept this kind of coquettish behavior.
The cat-shaped relief ex is still chattering away.
Jiang Yue was not upset at all, after all, his operation did have a lot of flaws in the eyes of the other party.
"The aura of immunity from all evil is of course great, but it's a pity that it only lasts for three months. It's a temporary skill. It's far less practical than the first skill. That's a lifelong skill. I gave you a lifelong skill at the beginning, but you actually rejected it. Wisdom.
It’s rare for Ling to be generous, so I guess you’ve made me happy too, right?”
"Boy, with this start, you are speeding towards the road of seeking death. I feel that if you continue like this, it will be a matter of time before you become your ex."
"Don't be a brat, I have a name. Even if you live for thousands of years, you still have to respect your current position. Don't forget, your freedom is in my hands."
"You? Hum hum..." the cat-shaped relief ex hummed, obviously disapproving of it.
"What's wrong with me? Can't you see that I am the successor you are waiting for?" Jiang Yue has just completed his mission as a Year Eater, and his current mentality is full of optimism.
"Haha, I just completed the novice mission, and my mentality is a bit inflated. I can understand why I said some flirty things." The ex's words were a bit sour.
"Okay! I know you are jealous. Let's get to know each other again. My name is Jiang Yue. Don't call me kid again. I still have the strength to swing a hammer." Jiang Yue said with a smile.
"Well……"
His predecessor was speechless for a moment, and he swore that this was the most arrogant and disrespectful successor he had ever encountered.
In the past, as a leader, he met every successor. When he first came into contact with Zhiling, he was in awe of his predecessor, and he had to respect him as much as possible.
No matter how sarcastic or sarcastic he is, the other person will always conclude that senior is nagging me like this for my own good.
But this one didn't play according to the routine at all.
We have to shake the hammer at every turn, do we still need to respect the old and care for the young? Do we still talk about seniority?
"Hello? May I ask your name?"
"Forget it, I won't mention the name of a has-been person. I have insulted my ancestors. I am the seventh bridge board of Zhiling. You can call me Cat Seven."
It can be heard that this tone reveals great resentment towards intellectuals who like the new and hate the old, and burn bridges when crossing rivers.
"Cat Seven? That's a good name. By the way, you have been a relief hanging on the wall for the past two thousand years?"
"Are you adding salt to the wound?" Mao Qi said sadly.
"Purely curious! To be honest, if I have a way, I will definitely help you out of trouble. Being imprisoned for more than two thousand years is, to be honest, too cruel."
"True?" Mao Qi was a little surprised.
"Believe it or not. There is a saying that the fox is sad when the rabbit dies. Have you never heard of it?"
"I don't understand. I'm a cat, not a rabbit."
"Okay, okay, that's it. You said this villa was built just over a hundred years ago, so I'm curious, what was your previous form?"
"Sometimes it's a mural, sometimes it's a pattern on a carpet, sometimes it's a pattern on furniture, sometimes it's a wood sculpture... It's been so long that I can hardly remember how many shapes it has."
It was indeed a sad past, and Jiang Yue decided not to make it worse.
Let’s talk about something happy.
"Mao Qi, will this villa belong to me from now on?"
Although Jiang Yue acquiesced, it was not confirmed.
"As long as everything related to intelligence is yours. Although I don't want to admit it, in fact, including me, it is also yours."
No matter how you hear this, it sounds awkward. Upon closer inspection, I always feel that there is moral decay and distortion of human nature.
You are a cat and I am a man with normal orientation.
"Does this mean that I can live here if I want to in the future?"
"Of course, you decide your territory."
"I can bring whoever I want with me?"
"Nonsense." Mao Qi was a little impatient.
"Then if I have something to tell you, wouldn't it be inconvenient to have outsiders?"
"No need, there are intelligent beings, and our communication can be completed without speaking. Don't worry, there are usually no special circumstances. I am just a quiet relief."
"Hmm, good relief work also deserves credit. Mao Qi, let me ask you again, have you really not realized that I am the successor you have been waiting for so hard?"
"Whether you are the successor I am waiting for, I don't know for sure. But you are definitely the most arrogant, inflated, outrageous and unlimited successor I have ever seen."
"That's all? It seems I haven't done enough." Jiang Yue sighed.
"What do you mean?" Mao Qi was confused.
"Being mean, picky, carefree, narrow-minded, and petty. I have to work harder. One day, these words you use to describe intelligence can be used on me. Maybe I will really become what you are waiting for.
That one has resigned."
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, he laughed and went straight upstairs regardless of Mao Qi's reaction.
Mao Qi was dumbfounded.
What kind of brain circuit is this, and can it still be interpreted this way?
…
Although it was his first time to come to Villa No. 9, Jiang Yue was naturally unfazed when he thought that this would be his home from now on. He went upstairs and picked the largest room as his bedroom.
Not to mention, a villa is just a villa. The transparency alone is far beyond the comparison of a building.
The bedroom chosen by Jiang Yue has a separate bathroom, a separate cloakroom, and a small reception room. The room alone is comparable to the configuration of a super luxury hotel.
After washing up and lying down on the bed, it was already past one o'clock.
Jiang Yue turned on his mobile phone and saw a series of missed calls.
Many chat records also popped up on WeChat.
Especially my sister Jiang Ying, it seems she was very angry. When she is angry, her younger brother still has to take care of her.
Seven or eight incoming call reminders, and more than a dozen voices on WeChat.
Jiang Yue thought for a while and entered a paragraph.
"I'm at the Daozi Lane villa. Something happened tonight. It's okay for the time being. I'll go back and tell you tomorrow morning."
I guess my sister was worried if I typed it in text, so I typed this paragraph in voice.
Then, he conveniently sent the location information.
Sure enough, WeChat responded instantly.
"Jiang Yue, what on earth are you doing?"
"Sister, I can't explain it in a few words. I'll go back tomorrow morning and tell you in detail when I get home. Don't worry, I'm fine. You will be fine too."
Jiang Ying was not a careless person, and although she had been worried all night in vain, based on her understanding of her brother, she always acted in a measured manner, so she expected that something important might have been delayed.
I didn’t ask any more questions at the moment.
Jiang Yue sat on the bed, thinking a lot and not feeling sleepy for a while.
Although only two days have passed, it feels like two years have passed.
I just returned to Daozi Alley and passed by the entrance of the Elm Street Night Market. Everything was brightly lit and bustling. Although it was already dark, the noisy city had obviously not calmed down yet.
Everything seemed to be the same as usual.
People keep drinking, dancing, taking pictures at bars, flirting with girls, playing games, taking pictures on their mobile phones...
But, how many of these seemingly peaceful days are left?
The answer is probably not optimistic.
I checked my phone again out of boredom.
I saw a message sent by Li Yue a few hours ago.
Li Yue: Do you believe those videos Du Yifeng posted this afternoon?
The world has indeed changed.
Li Yue, a transparent and introverted person who hardly takes the initiative to contact others, contacted him twice in one day.
This number exceeds the total of the past two years!
How to answer?
After thinking for a moment, he decided to tell the truth.
Jiang Yue: I believe it.
I thought that if I sent this message, it would be lost forever.
Unexpectedly, Li Yue replied instantly.
Li Yue: I believe it too.
Jiang Yue was a little surprised. At this point, Li Yue was still awake? And with Li Yue's character, shouldn't he have an attitude of neither listening nor believing in this kind of thing?
Jiang Yue: Yes, let’s take it seriously. Maybe the changes in the future will surprise us even more.
Li Yue: Yeah.
This kind of conversation, especially when the other person is Li Yue, is basically like chatting to death.
Jiang Yue didn't take it seriously. Sudden power outages were his daily routine, and he had long been used to it.
I scrolled down the WeChat messages one by one and browsed the group messages.
Most groups are still quiet. The group created by Du Yifeng has already received thousands of chat records.
Jiang Yue clicked on it and pulled it a little. There were no new videos coming out, so he was not in the mood to take a closer look. During this period, several people @ him.
The last Aite message was two or three hours old, late at night, and Jiang Yue didn't bother to explain it.
I was about to put down my phone and plan to sleep.
The phone dinged again.
Could it be Li Yue sending another message? This is not like her style.
"Han Jingjing: Jiang Yue, what are you doing? Are you asleep?"
"Han Jingjing: Why don't you reply in the group @? Even college tyrants are so busy!"
