Chapter 20

In fact, Black Pearl had already woken up when she was released from the pet box.

But after making sure there was no danger for the time being, it chose to pretend to be unconscious, and its limp body was placed on the sofa by the human boy.

Warm, soft and comfortable.

This place called sofa is very similar to the feeling given to it by the boy.

It was strange that when it saw the petite and thin human boy again, it didn't want to bite his throat or tear his flesh apart, but wanted to get close to him.

Black Pearl felt very strange.

Equally odd is its shrunken body.

The IQ of mutant creatures is not low, at least Black Pearl is like that. It was thinking quietly, and its pair of golden eyes were watching the two teenagers.

Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi didn't notice it.

Seeing that the shadow umbrella could not be colored with paint, Tang Yu'an put it away and took out another card.

Traffic Card (24 hours): It will increase the number of people appearing around the grocery store within 24 hours, increasing the probability of potential customers discovering the grocery store.

This card is definitely not usable for the time being.

They don't have the ability to protect the safety of the grocery store now. The more people know about the existence of the grocery store, the more dangerous it will be.

Tang Yu'an didn't plan to use this card for the time being. He took it out mainly to count today's gains and share it with Brother Xiaoqi to let him know the existence of this card.

At Zhou Qi's signal, he put the card away again and rubbed his hands excitedly.

"We still have 3 draws left!"

This is also the reward for completing the quest [Eliminate Dangerous Creatures (1)].

"Do you want to draw now?" Tang Yu'an asked eagerly.

Zhou Qi looked at his flushed face, a smile on his face: "Is there an option to increase the probability by 10 consecutive draws?"

"No." Tang Yu'an shook his head.

"Then smoke it."

"Yeah!"

Tang Yu'an cheered and quickly opened the lucky wheel. He blew on his palm and then clicked the lottery button.

Congratulations on winning 63 points.

The first time I drew the points, I got more than 60 points, which is not bad.

[Congratulations! You've obtained the special item "Daily Task Refresh Card"]

Tang Yu'an blinked his eyes. Although it was a special item, it was a refresh card... He changed his mind and felt that it was a good thing.

There are also achievement rewards for completing daily tasks. For example, if you complete all daily tasks for 30 consecutive days, you can get a basic title such as "Hard-working Little Bee".

This title is worth 1,000 points and three daily task refresh cards.

But for tasks like "recruiting new customers"... if you can't find new customers in time, then won't the combo fail?

So this refresh card is still very useful!

Tang Yu'an nodded secretly, and was quite satisfied with the result of this lottery. However, since it was the last lottery, he didn't hold out much hope.

After all, he had never won good things twice in a row. Before winning the shadow umbrella, he had won a guaranteed reward of 1 point.

He casually clicked on the lottery and watched the lucky wheel spin. The pointer finally stopped on a very small grid on the wheel where the words were almost invisible.

[Congratulations! You've acquired the special skill "Teleportation Level 1"]

Tang Yuan: 0.0

He drew the skill again!

Tang Yu'an quickly opened the skill section to check.

【Air Pickup Level 1】

Description: Within a 1km radius from the shop, the merchant can pick up and place any goods from the shop remotely, with no cooldown (this skill level is not higher than the merchant level and can be downgraded to a clerk)

Upgrade method: As the merchant level increases

Wow! Another super useful skill!

Except for the things in his personal warehouse, Tang Yu'an cannot take the goods in the shop remotely. He needs to use the item list function to transfer the items to the shelves in order to obtain them quickly.

Moreover, after leaving the shop, he had no way to transfer the goods in the grocery store to his portable warehouse.

That's why when he goes out, he will try his best to bring everything he needs with him, for fear that he might encounter an accident outside and won't be able to come back for a while.

And this skill of picking up goods remotely can solve such troubles!

According to the skill description, it seems that you can not only take things from the grocery store, but also put things back to the grocery store.

Isn't this just like taking a grocery store with you?

Although the range of 1 kilometer is a bit too small, this skill can be upgraded. Once it is upgraded to a high level in the future, I can’t imagine how useful it will be!

"Brother Xiaoqi, I got another skill!" Tang Yu'an said to Zhou Qi excitedly.

Zhou Qi was a little surprised when he heard the description of this skill, but he felt that there was no need to be surprised.

Because An An has always had good luck, Uncle Tang used to like to take him to buy welfare lottery tickets, and he always got something in return.

"It's a pity that I can only downgrade the authorization to the store clerk. It's only level 1 now... Hey, that's not right."

Tang Yu'an thought of something and quickly opened the employee panel. He saw that at the bottom of Zhou Qi's page, in addition to the portable warehouse (No. 1) that had already been given, there was also an additional "Remote Delivery Level 0" authorization.

Yes, this system starts from level 0!

Tang Yu'an quickly confirmed the authorization, and a prompt popped up in front of Zhou Qi.

[Congratulations! Because of your outstanding work performance, the mysterious merchant has granted you the special skill "Teleportation Level 0". You can equip it in the skill panel.]

A "Skills" section also appeared on Zhou Qi's system homepage.

【Air Pickup Level 0】

Description: Within a 100-meter radius of the store, you can remotely pick up and place any item from the store. No cooldown, can be used 10 times per day.

At the same time, an "item list" appeared below the skill, which contained the things that Tang Yu'an authorized him to take.

As for where you can put things, there is no limit.

"Ah, this weakening is too big. It's only 100 meters, and it can only be used 10 times a day?" Tang Yu'an couldn't help but mutter.

Zhou Qi didn't care. He smiled and said soothingly, "You can upgrade later."

"Um……"

Tang Yu'an nodded, then glanced at Zhou Qi's employee information and was suddenly stunned.

I saw Zhou Qi's evaluation information, and I don't know when it changed to——

Comprehensive ability: A+

Potential: SSS

Wow! He remembered these two values, they were "A" and "S" before!

"Brother Xiaoqi, you've become so powerful!"

"So you used your supernatural powers to dodge Granny Guo's attack today? Oh, and your injuries healed very quickly, too."

Tang Yu'an was pleasantly surprised to find that it was not his illusion, his little brother Qi had really become stronger than before.

"When did you get this ability? Did you automatically acquire it after coming to this world?"

Tang Yu'an did not feel jealous at all, but was filled with surprise and curiosity.

Only when Brother Xiaoqi becomes stronger can their safety be better guaranteed. Moreover, in order to return to their original world and solve the doomsday crisis in their hometown, they need to gain strength.

If Xiaoqige could become a superman, he wouldn't have to worry about how to gain power.

Zhou Qi pursed his lips, looked into the child's sparkling eyes, and finally said, "Are there any other changes in the employee information?"

Tang Yu'an looked at him strangely, then carefully checked his employee information.

【Zhou Qi】

Staff level: lv0 (7/10)

Age: 15

Height: 179cm

Skill: Teleportation Level 0

Title: None

Comprehensive ability: A+

Potential: SSS

Special status: Early stage of parasitism

Tang Yu'an was stunned. He looked up at Zhou Qi in disbelief.

Zhou Qi had already guessed the answer from his slightly red eyes. He asked, "What's written in the employee information?"

Tang Yu'an stammered, but finally spoke: "In the early stages of parasitism... Brother Xiaoqi, you, you've been parasitized by something strange?"

Zhou Qi was stunned, obviously not expecting this answer.

So the worst-case scenario had finally occurred. Was the thing that had penetrated his body truly a living being? It had given him powerful abilities, but what price would it ultimately cost him?

"I don't know either."

Zhou Qi shook his head and finally told Tang Yu'an the truth.

"Why are you telling me now?" Tang Yu'an's eyes became even redder, like a little rabbit. He was a little angry, but more distressed.

"If you hadn't gone out to earn points to buy me medicine, you wouldn't have been parasitized by insects..."

Tang Yu'an's tears fell down. He reached out to hug Zhou Qi, but found that his brother, who had always been very close to him, was dodging.

He stared at Zhou Qi blankly and forgot to cry for a moment.

Zhou Qi was somewhat helpless. "You did nothing wrong, and I never blamed you."

"Then why did you avoid me?" Tang Yu'an pouted and tears began to fall again.

Zhou Qi stretched out his hand, intending to wipe his tears, but ended up stopping in mid-air.

He said somewhat dejectedly, "I'm parasitic, which proves that the thing that got into my body is alive. I don't know if it's contagious..."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Tang Yu'an said angrily, "We sleep together every night and are inseparable during the day. Don't you think it's too late for you to say this now?"

Zhou Qi's face turned pale after hearing what he said.

Seeing this, Tang Yu'an threw herself into his arms, hugged him tightly, and said loudly: "I'm fine, nothing happened! Even if something happened, you can't push me away!"

"Brother Xiaoqi, you are all I have... I can't live without you..."

Zhou Qi was stunned, but finally reached out and hugged him back.

"What nonsense!"

He rubbed the boy's head vigorously, but there was infinite tenderness in his eyes.
