Baiyun City is a second-tier city in Lian Province, and its straight-line distance from Lianjiang, the provincial capital, is only 60 kilometers.
Ren Suo went to the train station and chose to take the high-speed train back to Lianjiangdong Railway Station. The journey only took half an hour, and the ticket only cost 45 yuan - no seats. It was almost New Year's Eve, so he was lucky to still have a station.
When it's time to check in, go down to the lane and wait. The high-speed train hasn't arrived yet, and the lane is empty. Ren Suo subconsciously stays away from the lane without guardrails - if he is squeezed in, even if the high-speed train comes, it will slow down, even if he is proficient in "
As a third-level monk named Shayi, Ren Suo was sure that he would be crushed into a paper figure like a mosquito.
Of course, Ren Suo would definitely be able to leave in time using movement spells such as "Ghost Step", but Ren Suo's principle is to never stand under a dangerous wall, do not take risks if possible, and do not take beatings if possible.
But principles are meant to be broken.
The high-speed train arrived at the station. After the people inside came out, Ren Suo quickly entered the carriage and found a place to lean against near the door, waiting for the train to start.
At this time, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Ren Suo just left home in a hurry and took a ride to the train station. Ren Suo didn't think too much about it. Now he was standing in the car without moving. Instead, it allowed him to calm down and think about what would happen later.
The high-speed train slowly started to start. Ren Suo turned his head and looked at the speeding scenery outside the window. The ambiguous night gradually swallowed up the last trace of light blue on the horizon. Getting closer and closer to Lianjiang River, Ren Suo felt that he had not done his homework during the winter vacation and was discovered by the teacher.
Students are walking to the teacher's office now.
Knowing that there was probably going to be a violent storm later, Ren Suo felt uneasy.
To be honest, Qiao Muyi doesn't even want to answer the phone right now. When the time comes to call her directly, Ren Suo is really not sure what she will do.
Whether he was beaten up or rejected by her, Ren Suo would feel very uncomfortable.
His network of interpersonal relationships is very small, very narrow, because he has learned very early that the train of life is that some people get on the train and others get off. There are no permanent friends. Even the best friends will drift away because of work, life and love.
——This is human nature, but it is difficult for Ren Suo to accept it, especially since he has gone through elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university. All his classmates and friends have turned into strangers in the circle of friends who may not even be able to remember their real names.
.
So he didn't bother to invest in his feelings and just played games. After all, games were really more fun than singing karaoke and playing ball.
Ren Suo didn't know when his mentality of "focusing on being alone" changed. It might have started when he obtained the "bond system" - from that time on, his attitude towards friends with bonds slowly changed.
Already.
Ren Suo believed in the Small World Game Console so much that he subconsciously believed that the bond system was the best guarantee for their relationship.
Of course, Ren Suo didn't want to use the fetter system to control and influence them. He didn't have such ambition or courage. He just felt that because of the existence of 'fetters', at least they wouldn't...become strangers again.
Ren Suo doesn't have happiness or sorrow that he wants to share with his friends, but he doesn't like to be alone either. He just doesn't like to be disappointed.
And this group of acquaintances who "can see the progress bar and level" completely solves Ren Suo's worries.
The 'bond relationship' is two-way. As long as the bottom line and principles are not involved, neither Ren Suo nor they will alienate each other - of course, the premise is that Ren Suo wants to reach a corresponding bond relationship with them and has 'ever had the talent'
Forever'.
The Winter Solstice feast that consumed all the time that could be summoned by Ren Suo's "Clear Spring Flowing Sound" actually meant that Ren Suo was also affected by the 'bond system'.
Otherwise, according to his previous personality, he would at most just call on the cook to cook for his family.
The 'bond system' just gives him a reason to treat guests. For example, if they eat the food cooked by the cook, they will practice faster. Not only will their bonding ability be enhanced, but it will also help him more in real-life work and so on... What really drives Ren Suo to action
Yes, it is his own wish.
They have a very important position in his heart.
Well, except for Zhao Huo. In fact, Ren Suo treated Zhao Huo to a decapitation meal for that meal. Now it seems... it was a decapitation meal for the two of them.
So Ren Suo knew his feelings very clearly: if Qiao Muyi alienated him and hated him because of this, he would be so sad that he would want to stay up all night playing video games for ten days and ten nights, then sleep violently for ten days and ten nights, and then make his clones work for ten consecutive days and ten nights.
Give yourself a massage at night...
Of course, Ren Suo also knew that with his eloquence and his ability to neither lie nor use sweet words, the possibility of repairing this relationship was extremely low.
In fact, Ren Suo also thought that it would be better to just stay in the cold and let the two sides slowly start to distance themselves.
After all, he had no solution, and he couldn't give an answer to Dong Chengling and Gu Yueyan's problems, so just letting Qiao Muyi withdraw was actually a solution.
It would be the same if he went, and it would be the same if he didn't go. So why would he join in and feel uncomfortable just once?
But this idea was shattered by himself after Ren Suo tossed and turned on the bed for a few minutes with his pillow in his arms - because he felt that this was too ridiculous.
What are you doing, do you think you are the leading actor in a family drama about seven o'clock and do nothing but wait for the plot to progress on its own, only to regret it after so many years?
When Ren Suo was a child, he would watch TV series with his mother. What he hated the most was this kind of "shabby actor who wouldn't chase his wife after she ran away." He swore that he would never become such a person... Of course, Ren Suo wouldn't think so at that time.
I have the chance to become such a person, and I don’t think that such a thing will happen in reality. I can only say that the world is really mysterious, and the screenwriter who wrote such a painful TV series must be a bad person who can do many things.
Instead of going through countless nights of tossing and turning, struggling with regrets, Ren Suo chose to face tonight's storm head-on.
What are you afraid of? Will she, Mr. Mu, beat me to death?
Will she beat me to death!?
Will she beat me to death?
…
Ren Suo pondered for a moment and silently equipped the "Magician's Feather of Immortality".
Because he used the super derivative ability "Flicker" of "So Far So Far" on the Dark Side of the Moon, now "So So Far So Far" is still in a cooling state, and his only teleportation method is this teleportation feather.
No, I'm still a little scared.
Ren Suo chose to go to the toilet to relax. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a high school student wearing a backpack, glasses and school uniform after taking two steps: "Please, are you Brother Ren Suo of the 'Holy Fist Lotus'?"
Ren Suo was confused, what the hell? Holy Fist Lotus?
"I am indeed Ren Suo, but I am not some Holy Fist Lotus..."
"It's really Ren Suo!" The student brother shouted excitedly: "Holy Fist Lotus Ren Suo, ranked 39th on the third-level combat power list!"
"What?"
The people nearby immediately became noisy.
"Is there a monk from the monk list here?!"
"It seems like it's really Ren Suo! He looks so handsome in the video!"
"That's right." Ren Suo immediately calmed down and looked around with an indifferent expression: "I am Ren Suo. Thank you for your support, but this gentleman, why do you call me Holy Fist Lotus...?"
Under the sound of taking pictures and flashing lights, Ren Suo finally knew what had happened - it turned out that the full version of the combat power rankings had been released.
Previously, Gu Wenyi and the others came to Tianlian Academy to evaluate the combat power of the third-level monks in order to formulate a Xuan Kingdom combat power list. The power of official public opinion is so huge. During Ren Suo's coma for a month, the combat power list was completely made public.
, instantly became a hot topic in Xuan Kingdom.
Moreover, the combat power list is not just as simple as a name. Each person on the list has a corresponding battle video, allowing all ordinary people to understand how powerful these powerful people on the list are!
However, the one hundred powerful people on the list are all affiliated with the Xuan Kingdom's military and countermeasure systems, and are on the side of the overwhelming majority of the people. And because of economic development and the guidance of public opinion, the patriotic enthusiasm among the people is rising. These one hundred people
Nationally certified monks are naturally sought after by the public.
Ren Suo showed a reserved smile like a star and pushed through the crowd step by step towards the toilet.
However, the high school student who recognized Ren Suo was so enthusiastic. He grabbed Ren Suo and kept asking, "Mr. Ren, how can I become a monk? I think I got into Tianlian College from college!"
Ren Suo, who wanted to go to the toilet, was pestered and had no choice but to reply: "If you do your winter vacation homework well and get good grades, you might be able to pass the exam."
The high school student was stuck for a moment and then asked: "I heard that Mr. Ren, your healing spells are very powerful. Can you treat the acne on my face?"
"You should be diligent, finish your winter vacation homework quickly, go to bed early and get up early, and you can solve the problem."
The high school student refused to give up: "Mr. Ren, you are so awesome, can you write me a letter of recommendation? I really want to go to Tianlian College to become a monk."
"If you have finished your winter vacation homework now, then I will think about it."
The high school student wanted to say something, but in the end he could only let go of his hand sadly.
Ren Suo patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Do you know the importance of winter vacation homework? You have to finish it as soon as the vacation comes. Now that I don't have to do winter vacation homework, I realize that winter vacation homework is so precious and important.
Don’t regret it later.”
Feeling that he had done another good deed, Ren Suo walked into the toilet with satisfaction, closed the toilet seat and sat down - there was no way, there were too many people outside, and compared to going out and being pestered by strangers, Ren Suo would rather be a
The toilet bully who occupies the latrine and refuses to poop.
Finally able to be alone, Ren Suo took out his mobile phone and connected to the high-speed train's wifi, and checked the ranking information online.
Ren Suo is a bit strange. Logically speaking, there are a hundred people on the list, and Ren Suo is only ranked 39th, so he should not be very eye-catching. At most, everyone pays attention to the top ten. He is only 39, what is worthy of being noticed?
Concerned?
But when Ren Suo opened the rankings and took a look, he immediately understood why.
In addition to gender, name, ranking and strength brief description, the ranking list also includes current position.
For example, Ren Suo is: "No. 39, Ren Suo, male, good at healing, movement and melee combat and other extraordinary abilities, on-the-job healing monk at Tianlian Academy."
Among the positions listed as 'Countermeasures Combat Monk', 'Academy Spell Instructor', and 'Army Combat Monk', Ren Suo's position as 'Healing Monk' is really eye-catching.
Ren Suo searched for the name 'Ren Suo' on the web, and a bunch of ridiculous discussions such as 'The Strongest Wet Nurse', 'Holy Fist Wet Nurse', 'Every doctor is an expert in human anatomy', etc. appeared.
.
He also has many nicknames, such as 'Tomahawk Nanny', 'Strong Fist Nanny', etc., and the most recognized nickname is 'Holy Fist Lotus'.
Holy Fist refers to his fighting skills, and Lianzi is the name of a Chinese medicinal material, which is very beneficial. Ren Suo also works in Lianjiang, so he is called Lianzi.
Ren Suo was quite satisfied with this nickname, but the medicinal ingredient lotus seeds were mostly used in soups, so it always felt like it didn't have a good meaning...
Ren Suo watched the video of his fight. The official editing technique was good, showing all his heroic demeanor when he beat Gu Yuexuan violently.
In the video, Gu Yuexuan is like a newbie who has not yet woken up. Although he can cut a 40-meter-long knife mark, he is beaten back by senior player Ren Suo using bastard punches.
This video cheers up Ren Suo - yes, I am strong too! Ren Suo, be tough and don't be a coward!
Then Ren Suo looked at the rankings of others.
Yu Kuangtu——No. 10, known as ‘Nanli Blazing Soul’.
Bai Ji - No. 9, known as the 'Crystal Palace Master'.
Qiao Muyi——No. 4, known as the ‘Catastrophe Witch’.
"...The matter with Mr. Mu cannot be called cowardice."
While browsing the news, Ren Suo saw the news of 'Ren Neisser updated the video', opened the barrage video APP, and found that the most viewed video this week was the analysis video of "Moonsinger" - you must know that "Moonsinger"
"" has been broadcast for a month, but its analysis and commentary are still popular!
Opening the video, Ren Suo checked the time, a total of 24 minutes.
The Battle of the Gods, which lasted for seven days, was condensed into 24 minutes by Ren Suo. Ren Suo browsed through it in a hurry and found that it was basically the battle for every Silver Moon Crystal. The main perspective was on other Moon God apostles.
superior.
So when Luna appeared on the stage, the barrage was like this:
"Dark Side of the Moon, your emperor is here!"
"You have been beaten by her more than ten times, why haven't you learned your lesson yet?"
"It is indeed a luxury to hope that human beings can always remain sane."
"I can't bear to watch anymore."
"Long live the goddess!"
"I have been exclusively recommending Goddess Luna since I was born!"
When it came to the fierce battle between Luna and the monster Luna, a narration suddenly appeared on the screen, using Luna's voice, briefly describing the conspiracy to kill Luna, and the style of the barrage suddenly changed:
"This is too gloomy. Fortunately, there is a goddess, otherwise our current dreamland would be ruled by this alien."
"What's the difference between being ruled by aliens and being ruled by such a blue-haired killer? Maybe everyone is equal in the former."
"Sure enough, pie will not fall from the sky, only traps and tricks will fall."
The ending of the video is naturally when Luna invites the moon to the ninth heaven and turns into the pure moon goddess.
In the entire video, neither Ren Suo nor Gu Yueyan appeared. After all, they had never participated in the battle.
Even the battle in the Crystal Cathedral started directly with Luna wearing a wedding dress and fighting against other apostles. Although some people in the barrage said "Who is the groom?", "I can't hide it anymore, it's me", "The goddess actually
"I've become a married woman", "Wouldn't that be better?" etc., but this little episode passed quickly.
After watching this video, the train has arrived at the station.
Ren Suo walked out of the train station, thought for a moment, and called Li Dan to ask for Qiao Muyi's home address.
Li Dan congratulated him for waking up, and then gave Qiao Muyi's address very neatly. He didn't ask anything, but mentioned, "Deputy Director Qiao has been in a bad mood this month. She has caught several extraordinary people."
All the criminals were beaten to death by her."
Ren Suo silently prepared "Return of the Demon King - Shadow of Destruction" and used it to strengthen "Shayi"'s defense at any time.
Qiao Muyi lives in a community near the subway station. If Ren Suo can come out alive, he can take the subway directly back to Tianlian College.
He didn't lie to his mother and sister. He really wanted to come back to get something - a Small World game console.
Because of the Chinese New Year, he had to stay at home for at least ten days. Now that it was February again, Ren Suo naturally wanted to take the Small World game console home to play this month's free games.
He already lost a lot of money if he missed the free games in January, and he couldn't miss the games in February.
Of course, the premise is...
To survive.
When we arrived at the community where Qiao Muyi lived, the sky had completely darkened.
The property management of Qiao Muyi's community is very professional. If Ren Suo wants to enter, he has to swipe the access card or notify the residents. But Ren Suo has a clever trick for this - wait for other people to come, then pretend to have forgotten the access card, and walk in naturally.
Fortunately, Ren Suo tidied himself up when he went out, and he still looked humane. The security guard took one look at him and looked away.
Ren Suo stood at the door of Qiao Muyi's house, taking several deep breaths in succession, but he couldn't press the doorbell with his finger.
After hesitating for several minutes, when Ren Suo was finally about to close his eyes and ring the death knell of hell, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind: "Are you so scared?"
Ren Suo was startled, and in an instant he turned his back and pressed against the door, and saw a living Qiao Muyi in casual clothes, standing behind him with a convenience store bag.
Ren Suo instantly looked away to the white wall next to him, shaking his head tactically like a fan: "I, I'm not afraid."
"I've been watching you for several minutes." Qiao Muyi took out the key and motioned for Ren Suo to get out of the way and let her open the door.
Ren Suo looked embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "You just came back from outside? But did you take the elevator? Why didn't I hear the elevator?"
Qiao Muyi lives on the 9th floor. This building also has an elevator, and there is a loud beep when the elevator opens the door. Logically speaking, Ren Suo will hear it when she takes the elevator up.
"I didn't take the elevator, I just walked up." Qiao Muyiyun opened the security door calmly.
"Oh...do you want to exercise?" Ren Suo chatted awkwardly.
"No, I knew you were coming from the security guard, so I took the stairs specially to come up." Qiao Muyi glanced at him, "Seeing this wonderful scene, I didn't waste the nine flights of stairs."
Although Qiao Muyi seemed to be making fun of Ren Suo, she didn't smile at all and the corners of her mouth didn't move.
"Wow, am I so famous? Even the security guards know me?" Ren Suo continued the awkward conversation.
Qiao Muyi shook the key and opened the second wooden door: "No, the monitor at the entrance security booth has a face recognition function. I entered your face into it, and the security guard will notify me as soon as he sees it is you."
Ren Suo was a little surprised: "You knew I would come today?"
"I hope you will come one day." Qiao Muyi opened the second wooden door, and after walking in, his voice suddenly became lazier: "Xiao~Suo~"
"Yes!" Ren Suo was excited and responded immediately.
Then Qiao Muyi glanced at him with a very subtle expression. At this time, a fat orange cat ran over from the house and nuzzled at Qiao Muyi's feet.
Qiao Muyi put on her slippers at the entrance, picked up the fat orange cat and touched it: "Xiao Suo, let's meet Xiao Suo. Xiao Suo, let's meet Xiao Suo."
Ren Suo pointed at the orange cat in Qiao Muyi's arms and asked in disbelief: "Is it also called Xiao Suo?"
"...What do you think?" Qiao Muyi glanced at him.
"No."
"It's okay if you don't have it. Xiao Suo is much better behaved than you." Qiao Muyi touched the orange cat's head and said, "Especially after neutering, it won't bark, its pee doesn't stink so much, and its coquettishness is just right.
, and I won’t go into heat holding toys... There are spare slippers in the shoe cabinet.”
After Qiao Muyi said that, she went in with the orange cat in her arms. Ren Suo didn't dare to say anything - yes, besides death, there is also the option of sterilization.
After changing his slippers and going in, Ren Suo found that Qiao Muyi was missing, and only the orange cat was left in the living room.
Ren Suo's "Cat Evolution" finally came into use once. He hooked his fingers and the orange cat jumped onto his lap. He secretly asked, "Is your master angry?"
"Meow~"
"Then, how angry are you...?"
"Meow meow~"
"I'm so angry... I really feel wronged by you." Ren Suo stroked the orange cat's back with compassion, and the orange cat nodded with a complicated expression.
At this time, Qiao Muyi came out of the bedroom, sat on the sofa, and took out a steaming lunch box from the bag.
"Um, Mr. Mu, do we want to talk?" Ren Suo held the orange cat in his arms and asked with courage.
Qiao Muyi thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, we want to talk."
