...

Night was falling.

Li Xunle and Zhao Hao got out of the car and walked slowly down the street.

They were walking towards Zhao Hao's mother's stall.

Indistinctly.

They noticed that there were many more adventurers in the area, with some at regular intervals.

They were fully armed, gathered together, and whispered among themselves, talking about something unknown.

You can even see law enforcement teams from time to time.

Li Xunle and Zhao Hao found it very strange.

Zhao Hao was puzzled:

"Brother, why are there so many adventurers lingering here? And law enforcement personnel too?"

"You ask me, how would I know?"

"Is something big about to happen?"

Zhao Hao shook his head:

"But even if something happens, it has nothing to do with a nobody like me."

"Ritian, you've grown up; you've developed self-awareness." Li Xunle smiled faintly.

"That's right!" Zhao Hao said seriously, his tone very earnest.

"Brother, I also feel that I can't rely on you for much longer."

Li Xunle was casually admiring the neon street scene when he heard Zhao Hao say this and paused for two seconds.

He turned to look at Zhao Hao and asked curiously:

"How so?"

"I have a feeling that you will soon enter the Super God Academy, while I definitely won't be able to get in. So, I've decided to start allocating all my attribute points to [Labor] from now on. I'll have to rely on myself."

"Academy of Super Gods? Whether I can even get in is another matter!"

Li Xunle said dismissively.

Zhao Hao was somewhat confused:

"The Academy of Super Gods is the dream school of everyone. Only graduates from it can enjoy good treatment..."

"Benefits? I can earn 80 million in 20 days by grinding monsters in the wild for equipment. Can you get such high benefits?"

"That's definitely not the case, but..."

Zhao Hao stammered and couldn't give a coherent answer.

"Why think so much? Let's go get some chicken!"

Li Xunle waved his hand and put his hand on Zhao Hao's shoulder.

"good!"

Zhao Hao put aside his distracting thoughts and started laughing and joking.

As Li Xunle walked, he said casually:

"However, Ritian, your idea is good."

"Big brother, what are your thoughts?"

"You can consider adding attribute points to [Labor]. Your speed is already sufficient for now. Ultimately, you have to rely on yourself."

"Yes, I was thinking that I can't rely on you all the time."

"Ritian, you've grown up so fast!"

"What are you talking about? After all, I've been hanging out with Big Brother for a while now."

Zhao Hao's face was full of smugness.

Li Xunle looked at Zhao Hao with satisfaction, his eyes revealing a sense of relief.

He slowly took out twenty four-star [Labor] attribute gems and handed them to Zhao Hao:

"I kept some attribute gems that I didn't sell. That's enough for you. They can add 400 points to your [Labor]. Use them sparingly."

Zhao Hao took the gemstone, looking surprised.

Li Xunle, however, appeared calm and unperturbed.

He and Zhao Hao had the kind of brotherly relationship where they would tease each other but never actually get angry.

The past three years.

Li Xunle survived only because of the snacks hidden in the love letters he received.

He survived largely by mooching off Zhao Hao's meals, even though he had heard that Zhao Hao's family was not well-off.

Fortunately, the other party didn't mind.

Therefore, Zhao Hao held a special place in his heart.

so.

Li Xunle didn't hesitate at all when he sold the equipment dropped in the previous super-ghost dungeon, choosing to split the profits 50/50 with Zhao Hao.

soon.

When Zhao Hao saw his mother's stall, he rushed over to help her with great enthusiasm.

Li Xunle took a closer look.

She was a woman in her forties, her hands and face weathered, her clothes worn and old. In front of her was a mobile barbecue cart, loaded with various barbecue ingredients and chicken, duck, and fish.

Zhao Hao said excitedly:

"Mom, bring two roast chickens, the biggest one. This is my best brother, Li Xunle. Let's eat roast chicken."

Zhao's mother nodded happily when she saw Zhao Hao:

"Son's back. Your outfit looks a bit unusual..."

She noticed that Zhao Hao's equipment was very unusual and luxurious, and must be very valuable.

"This outfit was provided by my brother; it's worth at least tens of thousands!"

Zhao Hao burst into laughter.

"Oh? Over ten thousand? How can I possibly accept that?"

Zhao Ma was very surprised and a little embarrassed when she heard this.

"Mom, my older brother is incredibly skilled, he's amazing. This equipment is nothing to him!"

Li Xunle stepped forward, abandoning his arrogant demeanor, and spoke respectfully:

"Hello, Auntie, my name is Li Xunle."

"Hello, young man, you're really handsome!"

Zhao Ma couldn't help but praise her, and then she spoke again:

"Please sit down! I'll roast two big chickens for you."

"Okay, thank you!"

Li Xunle unusually put away his playful smile.

He hadn't expected that Zhao Hao, whom he had been feeding for so long, actually came from a poor family and earned all his money through hard work.

Zhao Hao had been deceiving his superiors and helping him all along, and had never truly complained about him.

He suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

At this moment.

Zhao's mother said to Zhao Hao:

"Son, don't interfere, I'll handle it. Go keep your friend company and get two bottles of Coke."

"Okay, Mom."

Zhao Hao immediately grabbed two bottles of cola and walked up to Li Xunle:

"Big brother, don't just stand there, sit down!"

Li Xunle had just sat down when he noticed a weathered middle-aged man next to him staring at him curiously with a smile on his face.

The other person also had a stall with a sewing machine on display.

This surprised Li Xunle greatly.

Zhao Hao noticed Li Xunle's unusual behavior, followed Li Xunle's gaze, and then suddenly spoke:

"Brother, I almost forgot to introduce you. That's my dad. He does tailoring work."

Li Xunle raised an eyebrow, immediately understanding:

Hello, Uncle!

"Hello!" Zhao's father replied with a smile.

Zhao Hao greeted his father:

"Dad, I've brought my best buddy here to get some roast chicken."

"Okay! Okay! No problem! Honey, get them two big ones!"

While busy, Zhao Ma replied, "You don't need to tell me that, I've already started baking."

After exchanging greetings.

Li Xunle and Zhao Hao sat on low stools, chatting idly.

Zhao Hao suddenly remembered those adventurers and asked his mother:

"Mom, why are there so many adventurers over there?"

"I'm not entirely sure; they've been here for several days now."

"oh."

Li Xunle glanced at Zhao Ma's barbecue stall, then at Zhao Ba's sewing machine, and finally fixed his gaze on Zhao Hao:

"You mentioned last time that you were planning to buy a house. How much money do you need?"

"I haven't asked yet, but I estimate it will cost at least two million. However, I've already earned enough for the down payment, all thanks to you, big brother, hahaha!"

Zhao Hao was very happy.

"Two million?"

Li Xunle muttered to himself:

"Two million for a multi-bedroom apartment?"

"A two-bedroom, two-living room layout, please!"

How much for a three-bedroom apartment?

"I estimate it would cost at least 3 million, which is too expensive. I won't consider it."

Li Xunle was very surprised:

"What will you do if you get married and have children?"

"We'll see when the time comes. Life is tiring enough, let alone marriage..."

Zhao Hao shook his head, unable to consider that far ahead at all.

Li Xunle quickly pulled out his phone and fiddled with it for a while, then put it down and looked at Zhao Hao mysteriously:

"Hey, look at your WeChat!"

Zhao Hao immediately took out his phone to check, and instantly his pupils dilated and his breathing became rapid.

"Big brother! This! This! This..."

He actually saw Li Xunle transfer money to him...

5 million!

He was instantly dumbfounded and completely at a loss.

Li Xunle took his phone and calmly clicked to receive the transfer...

Then.

He returned Zhao Hao's phone to him and said calmly:

"I said I would make it up to you sooner or later for what I owe you..."

It's not morning now, but it's evening!
