Lingdang is not confused about what happened to her. She understands that she is a little "special", but fortunately, the specialness she is showing so far is a good thing, and she accepts it calmly and happily.
The bell matter came to an end for the time being. Mo Xiao rubbed her hair and asked her to go back to the dining table. She couldn't keep disturbing the little one while eating, right? In fact, Mo Xiao was reasonable. As long as the bell itself was not dangerous, it wouldn't be a problem.
.
After working hard for several days, Mo Xiao had a good sleep after coming back, but now he still feels that some residual fatigue is acting on him, not because his physical strength has not yet recovered, but because of his mental state.
Others had more or less similar feelings, so that after eating and drinking, they all sat on the sofa holding a tea cup and didn't want to move. The weather outside was nice, but it was more beautiful at home.
Mo Xiao tilted his head: "Speaking of Reyes, how long have you been to your dessert shop?"
"...Let me figure it out." Reyes was startled and fell into deep thought.
Mo Xiao was silent. He had even forgotten how long it had been since he went to his own store. If we were to count these days, it would definitely not be short.
"...Is it still open?" Patty interjected and asked a very practical question.
"Should... it's still open, right?" Reyes wasn't sure, "I have an assistant helping with the operation. I'll pay him half a year's salary in advance, so I don't miss the money."
Ye Xiaoying smacked her lips and shook her head: "You're a weird shopkeeper. You don't know if someone else gives up and quits. In the past, a businessman like you would have to beg on the streets within three days.
”
"Wake up, don't talk about the past, it's the same now." Mo Xiao said speechlessly, and suddenly thought of a question, "Patti has a family, you seem to be a loner like Xiaoying now, right? Where did the money come from?"
With Reyes's character, he would definitely not steal or rob. Mo Xiao was absolutely sure of this, so he was even more curious about Reyes's way of making money.
"...You know, I used to have some wealth, no matter what it is... until now, it's all antiques, in the antique market..."
"Okay, okay! You don't need to say anything, I understand."
Mo Xiao had a look of "f*ck" on his face and was stunned. The seller...he really can't learn this...
"Prodigal!" Mo Xiao despised.
Reyes was dissatisfied: "Don't just talk about me, I remember Xiaoying working in a small restaurant nearby, right? Don't you ask her?"
"Why do you ask me? I can go if I want and I will be paid on a daily basis. If the boss doesn't want me anymore, at worst, I'll find another place. How can you compete with me?" Ye Xiaoying raised her head to express disdain. She has nothing to fear as a worker! p>
After hearing this, Reyes simply leaned back and slumped on the sofa: "Anyway, I just opened a shop as a temporary interest, and I didn't want to make money. And now that I live here, I don't have to worry about food and clothing. I can occasionally stretch my muscles and bones, and...
You don’t have to worry about monster hunters, it’s perfect.”
Patty and Ye Xiaoying nodded silently, feeling the same way. They were very capable, but their lives were not as smooth as they are now.
Mo Xiao sneered at Reyes' attitude: "Salted fish, no pursuit."
"Hey, landlord, let me ask you, what else do you think I need to pursue?" Reyes raised his eyebrows and glanced at the other two ladies, "Look at Patty, does she want anything? Look again.
Xiaoying, with her ability, what can’t she do that she wants to do? And even if it’s you..."
At this point, Reyes paused deliberately and said with a half-smile: "...There is no need to talk about realistic pursuits. In other words, the so-called pursuit is to be born, live, and think about what to eat and cook tomorrow.
What, there’s nothing wrong with living a simpler life.”
As Ares, the god of war, he has owned both power and wealth. In his eyes, the things that ordinary people pursue are no different than the stones on the roadside.
"That's true..."
Mo Xiao thought for a moment and couldn't help but nod. People are salty, but if they have capital, they can become sharks. But once some people become salty, they can only be fired.
No one in my current family is a real salted fish, even Shu Mo is the same.
Mo Xiao couldn't help but look at the mysterious pendant. His life was changed entirely because of this guy. It would be perfect if the self-awareness and character it gave birth to were better and wouldn't choke him from time to time.
After all, why do the combination of their personalities lead to such a mean-spirited and funny person?
Mo Xiao's thoughts were flying to the sky, and at this moment, he suddenly thought of a very practical problem.
Yaoshou! How many order points do I have left?
When he looked at the mysterious pendant, Mo Xiao's heart trembled. That shot of the Judgment Pendant was very satisfying...but it seemed to send him back to before liberation.
A true gold strike.
Mo Xiao's hand trembled slightly... Order it... won't it return to zero?
Although I felt enlightened when I used the Judgment Pendant, when it came to reckoning with it...my head hurt, my body ached, my heart ached, and my whole body hurt anyway.
Others were keenly aware that something was wrong with Mo Xiao's mood, but they didn't know why. The mysterious pendant floated in front of Mo Xiao with a mean laugh and shook it from side to side.
"Let me guess, you are thinking about how many order points you have left."
Mo Xiao nodded with a heavy expression.
"A good news or a bad news, which one should you hear first?"
Hearing this teasing tone, Mo Xiao frowned and really wanted to take a picture of this guy with a baseball bat.
"Listen to the bad first."
He hoped not to hear the worst news.
"You have no Order Points left at all. The Judgment Star has squeezed out every last drop just as you thought."
Mo Xiao's eyes darkened.
This is the worst news.
He, Mo Xiao, was a hidden tycoon, a supermarket performance-making machine, and a ruthless goods-sweeping machine. From today on, he is back to a state of poverty.
"What's another piece of good news?" Reyes asked Mo Xiao from the side.
The mysterious pendant made a smacking sound: "Hey, I'm still too young and not calm enough, so I got hit."
Ye Xiaoying said angrily: "Stop being so pretentious, the landlord is almost out of his body."
"Why do you take it for granted that there will be no reward for destroying the Eternal Guard?" Mysterious Pendant said with an irony, "Come on, come on, get ready to receive the gift."
As soon as he finished speaking, a red paper box fell out of thin air on the coffee table. The outside of the paper box was tightly tied with a blue ribbon and embroidered with exquisite peony patterns. There were also a few small flowers inserted between the gaps in the box. It looked very beautiful.
.
Seeing the reward, Mo Xiao's parched soul seemed to be nourished, and he sat up straight. After all, the Eternal Guard is so tricky, and it couldn't be worse for him to get something that cost him thousands of Order Points, right?
The mysterious pendant said proudly: "The thing is inside. Following the habit of people on earth giving gifts, I even made a gift box. How about it? It's very thoughtful, isn't it?"
Everyone didn't bother to continue talking about the mysterious pendant. Their eyes turned to this ordinary gift box. Mo Xiao couldn't wait to pick it up. Unlike what he expected, the gift box was very light, so light that he almost thought there was nothing inside.
Stuff.
Mo Xiao's heart made another "thump" sound. What could be so light? Didn't the pendant make an empty box and mess with him?
This idea was thrown away by Mo Xiao as soon as he came up with it. No matter how boring the pendant is, no matter how bad his personality is, he would never make such a boring joke. He tore the ribbon apart in three tones, and immediately several pairs of eyes looked inside.
