A knock on the door woke up Xia Yi who was lying on the bed. He opened his eyes, lay on his side and looked at the door with some confusion, and laughed dumbly.
I didn't want to tie the player to me all the time, but he took the initiative to stick with me.
"Grandpa! Aren't you here?"
"Shi Lai?" Zhou Xiaoxian's sleepy voice came, "Why...shouldn't you be attending classes in the Holy Academy?"
Classes for first-year freshmen start one week early.
"Oh, I skipped school." Shi Lai said confidently: "Grandpa is here, right? Don't they say that the old man has a light sleep and wakes up early? Why doesn't he get up when I knock on the door like this?"
"Playing hooky???" Zhou Xiaoxian's forehead was full of questions. What kind of operation is this? Today is your second day of official class, right?
Probably... he found that the Holy Court gave him less experience than I did here? Xia Yi yawned and said with a smile: "I'm up, come in!"
"Hey!" Shi Lai pushed the door open and said directly: "Grandpa, hey, is there anything you need me to do? Just tell me!"
Zhou Xiaoxian poked his head behind him and greeted Xia Yi: "Good morning, teacher..."
"It's okay. We have sent him to the Holy Court. It's his business to practice or not."
Xia Yi didn't care and said, "Want to do something for me? If you show courtesy for nothing, you must have a plan. Tell me, kid, what do you want?"
Shi Lai chuckled: "Hey, grandpa, you can teach me another powerful holy soul, just like yours, the one that can change wings and fly."
Xia Yi was heartbroken. Xia Yi shook his head and said, "I didn't even teach you how to transform a bamboo hat into wings, but you think so. Well, I happen to have some errands for you to do here. You go first. As for teaching you later,
What, I have to think about it."
Now and then I feel refreshed, I really have a mission!
"As you command!"
"Living in an inn, after all, there are some things that are inconvenient. I plan to buy a house. In the East Third District, help me find a house. The budget is within a thousand taels. Find one that is cheap and good."
[Ding! Xia Yi has released a task: Help Xia Yi and Zhou Xiaoxian find a livable house in the third east district of Lieyang City.] [Task reward: Xia Yi's favorability will increase. The better the house, the less silver it will cost. Good.
The greater the sensitivity improvement.】
【Whether to accept?】
Yes, of course!
"Leave it to me, grandpa!"
"Within a thousand taels?" Zhou Xiaoxian interrupted in surprise: "Teacher, we should have less than 10 taels of silver left!"
Xia Yi reached under the pillow and found a stack of banknotes that made her stare.
Counting out a hundred taels of silver with a smile, Xia Yi handed it directly to Shi Lai, "If you don't pay to view the house, I'm afraid you won't be popular. Take the money and go."
"Okay!" Shi Lai took the banknote and ran out in a hurry.
"Teacher, where did you get so much money?"
Zhou Xiaoxian came in and stared at the banknote and asked, a little worried: "Is it okay to hand it over to Shi Lai? You should have told me earlier, I am more familiar with Lieyang City."
"Don't underestimate him, this kid is not stupid." Xia Yi smiled and said silently in his heart: Modern people's thinking is much more capable than yours.
As Xia Yi expected, Shi Lai chose to go offline not far from the inn, and then searched Baidu on his mobile phone for what kind of ancient mansion was the best.
After finding some keywords, he logged into Holy Soul Continent again and started searching by keywords.
As for the price? He really doesn't know how to bargain, and he can't tell whether Fang Yazi is cheating him or not.
But he has another trick up his sleeve.
After looking at the house, I directly put the sword on Fang Yazi's neck. Will you give me the cheapest price? Are there any defects in this house?
He was beaten and interrogated, and even chopped off his legs and arms to threaten him. Once someone came to arrest him, he would just go back and the matter would be settled.
In the afternoon, even Xia Yi couldn't find anything wrong with the answers Shi Lai submitted.
"Yes, I will go and see him tomorrow." Xia Yi said, using deception in his mind to give himself a hint that "this kid is good".
[Ding! Mission accomplished!]
[Gain a small amount of experience]
[Xia Yi’s favorability +50]
[Current favorability: 60 (friendly)]
Hey, you just passed the exam! Shi Lai beamed and shouted again: "Grandpa! Have you thought about teaching me any holy souls?"
"Don't worry, I didn't live in Dazheng before. I'm new here. I want to know about Dazheng's folk customs, festival taboos and other things. Are you free to help me run some errands?" Xia Yi said with a smile.
[Ding! Xia Yi releases a mission...]
A series of missions? There seems to be hope for learning flying skills! Shi Lai happily said: "No problem!"
In this way, for several days in a row, Shi Lai skipped school and helped Xia Yi run errands everywhere in Lieyang City. His experience increased rapidly, from level 51 to level 70. Xia Yi did not only move from the inn to a new house and go out
He almost didn't leave the house to eat, and he taught Zhou Xiaoxian how to practice and at the same time learned about world affairs.
The hints he used in his mind changed from "This kid is not bad" to "This kid is not bad, he can be treated as a year-end friend."
Shi Lai's system display shows that Xia Yi's favorability level has increased to 90 (heart-to-heart).
Four days later, in the morning, Shi Lai knocked on the door of Xia Yi's new house as before: "Grandpa, is there anything else you want me to do? Can't you teach me the Holy Soul yet?"
Realizing that Shi Lai's patience had been worn out, Xia Yi opened the door and said with a smile: "I have one last thing to ask you, just to satisfy the curiosity of an old man like me. Xiaoxian and I often go to Wangjianglou Restaurant for dinner.
Er Chen Guang seems to be a man with a story, I want to know his story."
[Ding! Xia Yi released a task: Investigate the past events of Wangjiang Tower’s waiter Chen Guang.] [Task reward: A lot of experience, Xia Yi’s favorability will increase]
【Whether to accept?】
The last one?
Hey, this is a lot of experience?
Shi Lai, who was a little tired at first, cheered up a little and said, "Leave it to me!"
Sure enough, the task of giving a lot of experience was more difficult than the previous one. On the first day, Shi couldn't find a starting point. As in the past, directly forcing Chen Guang to read the file again with a knife didn't work at all.
Chen Guang could stab him to death easily with chopsticks!
It wasn't until the next day that he found out the news from an old man in a nearby teahouse.
"You ask Chen Guang, haha, more than thirty years ago, he was a proud man of his generation, the current senior brother of the Holy Academy, and his future was unanimously optimistic by the adults in the state. Unfortunately, something went wrong in his cultivation later, and he became lame in one leg.
I can no longer improve my strength, and I have become half a useless person from now on."
The fall of genius? It’s like a template for the protagonist!
There really is a story about this person, maybe... he has a mission?
Although I had this idea at some time, I still ran to Xia Yi first and submitted the task.
"The former senior brother of the Holy Academy?" Zhou Xiaoxian was greatly surprised. Is that the waiter?
To put it another way, if Song Ziyu had become like that... I wouldn't even dare to think about it!
Xia Yi stroked his white beard, remained silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "You did a good job."
Immediately, he took a deep breath and changed the hint of cheating into: 'This kid is really good, maybe... I can try to cheat him into bed!'
Love?! Shi Lai was shocked and turned pale. He quickly looked up at Xia Yi and saw Xia Yi smiling and saying: "It's getting late. Don't leave tonight. Stay here with me and I'll teach you the new holy soul."
Tonight...don't leave?!
Shi Lai was horrified and said quickly: "Bye bye, grandpa, I have something else to do. Oh, I have to go back and take a look at the Holy Courtyard. Next time, next time!"
He didn't even want the Holy Soul anymore. With Zhou Xiaoxian's puzzled expression, he left as if he was running away!
Xia Yi, who was sitting on the chair, lowered his eyes.
'His system can indeed detect my thoughts to a certain extent, but there is no way to force me to reward him after he completes the task.'
'Besides, the thoughts he detected about me were superficial. At least my deception was able to be hidden. Preliminarily, the system will not have much impact on me, which is fine.'
After thinking about it, he dismissed the hint of deception.
[Xia Yi’s favorability-80]
[Current favorability: 20 (goodwill)]
A few hundred meters away, Shi Lai's steps faltered, his eyes turned red, and he almost cried!
I didn't stay, is grandpa unhappy?
Have you been busy these days?!
It's so hard for me!
