Chapter 5 Chapter 5 (Revised) Who is my big toy?
A burst of white light fell from the sky, crackling and directly connected to the ground. Immediately afterwards, there was another "boom...", thunder fell from the sky, and dark clouds covered the top of the head. Oh my God, I hope something terrible will happen again.
It was about to rain, so Shen Muyun took a few quick steps and kicked Zhou Shiqing in the butt from behind. As luck would have it, the man rolled down the slope to the side and fell into the middle of the sewer, getting himself covered in filth.
“Chen Muyun!”
Seeing Zhou Shiqing lying in the stinking ditch, Shen Muyun bent over with a smile and made a face at him, "Master Zhou, this is retribution. Retribution, who can escape it?"
Shen Muyun trotted forward a few steps with great energy, listening to the cursing voices coming from behind, which was refreshing!
When I arrived at the parking lot, I was in trouble. No, I took a taxi here this morning. What's wrong with my brain? I must have encountered something when I was traveling through the book. I feel a little stupid.
He looked at the taxi app helplessly, but maybe because of the weather, no one accepted the order.
"I need the system, the dedicated car, and the dedicated personnel. Can you arrange for Shen Muyun's information to be given to me within three days? I don't want anyone to see any flaws."
The system stretched lazily, looked at Shen Muyun's appearance, and flicked its wings twice, "Master Host, what you said is not a big deal, but people are multifaceted. Even if there is information, can you learn it?"
What kind of system is this? Others have golden fingers, but for a rough guy, it's just a short little finger when it comes to him. He can't be relied on at all. The sky collapses at the beginning, and the sky collapses when he travels. It's better to rely on yourself than on others.
"What are you talking about? Why can't I learn it? I've performed skits before, but you haven't seen it. If you say it's not possible, then it's not possible. I still say you can't do it."
The system's screen kept flashing blue light, as if it was receiving some information. "I have to say, as a man, you can't say you're not good enough. The most important thing for a man is endurance!"
Damn, this isn't a proper system.
"You're not a man. Okay, do you have any exclusive mall or something like that? Those props that can help me pass the level or those giant golden fingers?"
The system screen lit up, "Huh? Of course I do. I have a mall. Do you have tokens?"
Shen Muyun was petrified instantly and looked at the system display screen. Fifty, oh my god, why are there only fifty tokens.
"Hey, host, do you want Brother Tongzi's big props? The kind that you won't lose money if you invest in it?"
"Fuck, system, are you crazy?"
The system screen flickered, and suddenly something like a golden hoop appeared.
"System! No pornography allowed!"
The system looked at Chen Muyun aggrievedly, "This is the system interface. Just click to enter..."
Shen Muyun's finger swiped across the screen.
“Ding ding ding!”
The mall opened with the system's unruly voice.
"A flash of golden light! Millions of props!"
The bottom row of the mall was filled with some strange and bizarre gadgets, along with some props that didn't look very serious.
Prop No. 1: Straight man praise stick, want instant pleasure? Want to feel like flying? Choose it and realize your life ideal.
Tsk, so disgusting.
Prop number two: After drinking it, everything becomes water, money comes, money rolls in, but it has a lot of side effects, so you have to pay a price, so it might as well be your hair.
What a weird thing.
Prop No. 3: Fairy crying sound, hush, limited product, only available for use during holidays, straight men will feel stiff after hearing it, use it with prop No. 1 to get twice the result with half the effort.
Dog system, and still calls himself serious.
Prop No. 4: Desire Complaining Doll. If you have any troubles, just tell him. He will punch you twice when you are unhappy. Guaranteed, it will make you feel better!
The middle row gleamed with golden light, a blank contract. Ugh, I've used this one before, it's boring, I'll pass it up. Oh, a card voucher that won't go wrong when drawing cards, a money lock for picking up money when going out, a card that gets rich overnight with no side effects, a ten-consecutive gold payout voucher, a voucher for never losing love...
It seems quite interesting.
The top layer... Chen Muyun took a look. He didn't know until he saw it. He was shocked. It turned out to be 50 billion in cash. If he got it, would he be afraid that he could not solve the curse of only being able to live for three years?
"System, is there a discount?"
"Ding Dong, actually, the exclusive mall was activated yesterday. Currently, there aren't many items that can be exchanged. The mall uses a token system. I'm new to this system and am not familiar with some of the tasks. However, host, you seem to be short of money right now. Why don't you sell yourself to earn some money? It comes quickly."
Shen Muyun looked at the system wallet. Only fifty? What can you buy with that? The cheapest thing costs over a thousand. In the early days, you have to tighten your belt and work hard. Isn't this the script of a wealthy family? Why are you so poor?
"System, does this mall have any purchase limits? Or does it automatically refresh every Monday at 5:00 AM? Are there any special offers during holidays?"
"Host, currently, there aren't any. The more difficult the mission, the more tokens you'll get. The top shelf holds a mysterious item. You'll have to keep working hard. I can only retire after I've completed my business targets. I don't want to retire in my seventies or eighties, as I'd be too exhausted by then. Holiday items are on sale now. I'm a small business, so no credit is accepted."
"You're dreaming, thinking of retiring now? No way. Just wait. You serve me happily, and I can still complete my tasks seriously. If you... then we'll torture each other."
"Host! You can't do this! You only have three years left to live, you have to hurry up, this is no joke!"
"That's fine, if you obey me, we can work together happily."
Raindrops began to drip from the sky. Seeing that no car had come to pick up the order for a long time, he could only stop a car at random. Thinking about what happened during the day, he was somewhat frightened. Was there really nothing unusual discovered? As for Shen Liuyun, he was interesting. Playing with him made the game more and more interesting.
As soon as he entered the door, Shen Muyun saw Shen Liuyun trimming the sunflowers on the table with scissors, occasionally throwing the fallen petals into the trash can beside him.
"Brother, I'm back."
Shen Liuyun raised his eyes to look at Shen Muyun, and put the scissors in his hand aside, “Occasionally trimming some useless things is my hobby.”
"Those flowers will eventually wither over time. They will naturally look better if they are taken care of."
“Yes, actually, it’s the same with people.”
Shen Muyun was slightly stunned, then smiled and directly pulled off the petals in front of him.
Seeing Shen Liuyun's expression change again and again, these flowers are his treasures.
"Brother, can you give me these flowers?"
"able."
"Brother, why don't you like chrysanthemums?"
"No reason."
"Brother, soaking sunflower in water can heal the stomach."
“…”
Shen Liuyun raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Muyun. Could it be that the person who argued with reason just now was an illusion?
This face looks innocent, but what he does looks crazy and hypocritical, just hypocritical.
Shen Liuyun pulled the petals, the phone screen beside him kept flashing, not caring at all.
"Shen's is run by our family. If there's a problem, then speak up. However, didn't you stop asking about the company's affairs before? Why are you suddenly so interested today? You even rushed here directly from the cruise ship. Didn't you have enough fun last night?"
Shen Liuyun ordered the waiter beside him to pour tea.
The corner of Chen Muyun's mouth twitched. He couldn't say that it was because he was bound to an inexplicable system and would die if he didn't complete the task.
"It was just a lucky coincidence. The cruise was fun and quite enjoyable. It's a pity that Zhou Shiqing is missing."
Shen Muyun's hand that was fiddling with the flowers suddenly stopped, and there was only cruelty left in his eyes.
The waiter placed the teapot in front of Shen Liuyun, washed the teacups skillfully, and then respectfully placed the second cup in front of the two of them.
"Well, it's just a contract. You're still young and can still have fun for a few more years. As for Zhou Shiqing, just stay away from him."
"Brother, I think he's my new toy."
Shen Liuyun pursed his lips. This brother was crazy.
"So, is there anything else you like?"
"There's nothing I like, brother, so you don't have to worry about me."
Shen Liuyun's phone was flashing, but he didn't care and let the phone vibrate.
"Brother, aren't you going to answer the phone?"
"Nothing, just leave it there."
Seeing that Shen Liuyun was invulnerable, Shen Muyun raised the teacup in front of him and looked at the clear tea inside. The tea leaves floated on the surface, emitting a pleasant green smell, and a wisp of white mist covered the rim of the cup.
He changed the subject immediately.
"Hey, brother, I've made an appointment with some friends to go to the racecourse on the outskirts of the city this weekend. I haven't raced in a while, so I'd like to try it out. Do you have time this weekend? How about we go together?"
After Shen Muyun said this, the original owner's memory instantly flooded into his mind. The original Shen Muyun fell off the horse when he was six years old, and later he didn't like this project very much.
Shen Muyun's face turned pale, and he wanted to curse directly. What kind of person is this? How could he say such words? He just remembered this and was afraid that it would be exposed. How could he cover it up?
Chen Liuyun's expression darkened noticeably, and he placed the teacup directly on the table in front of him. "Muyun, you've fallen off a horse before. When we were in Northern Europe, you said horse racing was something only fools did. How come you've changed your temper, or are you thinking about something else again?"
The corner of Shen Muyun's mouth twitched.
"Brother, my hands are cold."
"There's a thermos at home, but the weather is bad today."
"Brother, I want to go to bed."
"The room is upstairs."
"Brother, I seem to be lacking love."
Before Shen Liuyun could answer, his phone rang again. He didn't know if it was the same person as before. This time, Shen Liuyun was proactive and didn't avoid him. He answered the phone directly.
"Hello, Huainan, is there something wrong? I just saw your call and I was talking to Muyun."
The person on the other end of the phone paused briefly, looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the night view, puffing smoke rings as the billboards before them flickered with bright and dark colors. "Hmm? Is that the one that put on that wonderful show on the cruise ship?"
Shen Muyun signaled Shen Liuyun to prepare to go to the room, and Shen Liuyun waved his hand casually, indicating that he could leave at will.
Shen Muyun stood up from the sofa, but was still somewhat curious about the person on the phone. Huainan… The original owner had this person in his memory, but it was very vague. He only knew that he was the young master of the Lu family.
He found a corner and made sure that Shen Liuyun had no way of seeing him directly before he listened to the conversation between the two with peace of mind.
"That's just a joke. Huainan, how's that piece of land west of the city doing lately? I heard it was snatched up by the Fu Group. What a shame! I thought few people cared about the land over there."
"That's right, the south of the city belongs to the Su family, and this part of Jiangcheng is almost completely divided up. Let me take a look at the north of the city. Liuyun, I heard that your contract this morning was invalidated. Why do you believe what I said before this time?"
Shen Muyun heard it clearly. In fact, this was all thanks to the system. Otherwise, he wouldn't have heard the words of the man named Lu Huainan. Who is he? Why does he feel inexplicably familiar? Shen Muyun shook his head. This is impossible. This is the world in the book. He may just be a passerby. But he is unfamiliar with this place. It would be nice if he could get to know more people.
"Muyun was the one who discovered the problem. I think it's a little strange, but it's actually nothing. I hope I'm just overthinking it."
"Huainan, if you're free, let's go to the bar for a drink someday. It's been a while since we've been together."
After the call ended, Shen Liuyun looked over here with a hint of meaning. Shen Muyun was sure that it was indeed not visible from this position, so he felt relieved and turned around to go upstairs directly.
Shen Liuyun stroked the invitation card placed on the tea table beside him. It was black with gold edges and a gilded texture. The snake totem on it was the Lu family's unique family emblem. He looked upstairs with a hint of deep meaning, and a black figure happened to flash by.
Shen Muyun returned to the room alone and sat down on the bed. He didn't sleep well last night and his neck was stiff and uncomfortable. He had been running around for half a day today.
He originally didn't want to get involved in the company's affairs, but this was a system task, and he started a quarrel in the company. His body was already weak, and after this trip, he urgently needed to rest.
My only thought now is to lie down, not thinking about anything, not doing anything, I just want to hug the pillow, cover my head and sleep until it gets dark.
"Ding Dong, respected host, here is a letter for you, please check it in time, Ding Dong~ Ding Dong Ding Dong!"
The system appeared before his eyes, flapping its little wings, and spun around happily, looking like it was in a good mood.
"Stop making so much noise! Keep your voice down! My ears are going to go deaf."
Shen Muyun saw the screen in front of him and the incongruous golden hoop. He endured it, stretched out his hand and slid it, and an envelope with small wings appeared in front of him.
"New type of pleasure, host, are my wings sexy? Just touch the edge of my wings..."
Some pink hearts appeared on the system screen.
"Ugh, go wherever you want to cool down, you're an eyesore."
When he unfolded the envelope, he discovered it was an invitation: On Friday night, the Lu's Winery will hold a charity bazaar, where a Kashmir sapphire will be exhibited as the biggest prize of the dinner. The inviter is Lu Huainan.
Wait, Lu Huainan, this name...isn't that the person on Shen Liuyun's phone just now.
"System, who is this Lu Huainan?"
"Master Host, when you need help, please be polite and use honorifics."
Shen Muyun directly pinched the system's wings, "Like this?" and threw it out.
The system immediately flew into the air, "Host! You are committing murder!"
"Ding ding ding, the file was received successfully."
Shen Muyun directly opened the folder, and Lu Huainan's basic information was displayed directly: Lu Huainan, the eldest son of the Lu family, is low-key and gentle, 29 years old this year, the heir to the Lu family's business, the Lu Group, which is on par with the Fu family and the Su family in Jiangcheng.
The system blinked. "He's very talented. He was born in the United States. His information shows he's never returned to China, but that information is incomplete. He's been the type of kid you see in other people's homes since he was little. You and I probably haven't had any interaction, or even met."
Shen Muyun clicked the system screen and said, "Can you provide some useful information, such as whether he is a captureable character? For me, with his help, will the plot go more smoothly? You don't need to tell me the superficial information."
The system drooped its wings and shook its head helplessly. "Well, host, I have to say that the Lu and Shen families are old friends, but Lu Huainan is a man of few feelings. Your eldest brother and he are absolute competitors in business, though their personal relationship is acceptable. The system can only say that this person is not easy to win over. I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."
Shen Muyun's character is to become stronger when facing a stronger opponent. The word failure does not exist in his dictionary. As for Lu Huainan, he has some interest in him, but not much. Making friends with different types of people may really be useful in prolonging his life. He secretly thinks about how to make friends with this person.
The system yawned, "Host, you've been busy all day, it's time for you to go to bed. The invitation is in Shen Liuyun's hands, but whether you can go is still uncertain."
"Just shut up and go to bed."
