Looking at the hazy waning moon in the night sky, Hei Lingdang's tail couldn't help but swing back and forth. Novel. As if sensing his friend's uneasiness, the little white cat next to him meowed worriedly, rubbed Hei Lingdang's face and licked his fur.

Hei Lingdang stretched out her paw and pushed the little white cat away. It meowed twice. The little white cat hummed softly, turned around and left, walking towards Dormitory Building No. 3.

Watching the little white cat disappear from sight, Hei Lingdang looked up at the moon again, jumped out of the bushes, arched his body and exerted force, bouncing two meters high like a spring, and landed steadily on the windowsill on the first floor of the dormitory building.

Then Black Bell repeated his old trick, jumping all the way from the windowsill to the air conditioner unit, and from the air conditioner unit to the windowsill, climbing all the way up, as agile as an assassin.

It had originally planned to go home directly, but when it passed the fourth floor, it saw warm lights leaking from the balcony of Room 402 and heard a familiar voice coming from inside, so it curiously landed on the balcony, carefully poked out its little head, and watched the situation in the house.

"flash!"

"flash!"

"Protector, is there any protector? Send one..."

Hei Lingling shook her buttocks, jumped back to the balcony gracefully, and continued on her way home.

These humans gather together late at night and don't do anything. They don't do anything serious all day and are not honest at all. Could it be that the idiot male inside has had his balls castrated?

So pitiful. Let him touch me a little longer next time.

…

…

Fifteen minutes ago.

Downstairs in the dormitory building, Ren Suo, who had comforted Xiao Jiu, saw Dong Chengling, Qiao Muyi and the other four blocking the door. Ren Suo had the illusion of being "attacked by a plot monster", as if he was ambushed by the five of them. Now, even if Bai Ji suddenly appeared from behind and knocked him out with a club, Ren Suo would not feel strange.

However, Ren Suo saw that they seemed to be hesitant to speak, and although he didn't know what they wanted to say, Ren Suo invited them to go upstairs and talk slowly. They didn't refuse, so he guessed it was not a urgent matter.

Because there were many guests this time, Ren Suo was not a stingy landlord. When he got home, he used the Lord of Flames to start large-scale heating, then sat down and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

They all sat down, too lazy to answer Ren Suo. Only Xiao Jiu and Lin Xianyu opened the refrigerator and took out a bucket of ice cream to eat.

Qiao Muyi propped up her chin, picked up her scarf, looked at Ren Suo seductively and asked, "Did you knit this yourself, Xiao Suo?"

"Yeah." Ren Suo nodded.

Ren Xingmei covered her scarf and asked, "This one was also knitted by you, brother."

"Yeah." Ren Suo nodded.

Gu Yueyan asked: "What about mine?"

"That's right." Ren Suo nodded.

Dong Chengling, feeling a little hot, took off her scarf, folded it neatly, and asked, "Then did you knit this one for me too?"

"Yeah, yeah." Ren Suo nodded.

The four of them were speechless. They didn't suspect Ren Suo of lying. If Ren Suo had a high EQ and was willing to lie about such a small matter to please a girl, he would have become someone's forbidden fruit long ago. On the other hand, if Ren Suo really had a high EQ, he wouldn't have given six or seven scarves in one day...

Lin Xianyu, who was eating cantaloupe ice cream from an enamel bowl, expressed their thoughts: "Brother Ren, you knit really fast. Did you awaken the superpowers of a spider spirit and have eight hands to knit scarves?"

"I just spend my sleeping time and play time knitting scarves. Even when I am doing housework, I will seize the time to knit scarves."

Ren Suo said seriously, "And it's not difficult to weave. As long as you are willing to spend time and effort like me, you can weave customized scarves even if you only have a pair of hands."

When Ren Suo mentioned this, Qiao Muyi and the others looked at each other and realized that their scarves had different patterns and were indeed specially customized by Ren Suo. Putting aside Ren Suo's devilish knitting speed, the fact that he could knit a different scarf for each person, and the quality was very good, showed that Ren Suo was really attentive, and the scarf was full of his sincere love.

but!

So what!?

What do you think you can protect with just your thoughts?

They thought that their scarves were all made by Ren Suo with great effort over countless nights, squeezing out a little time from his time for playing games and practicing, and then knitting them stitch by stitch, so they were so happy.

Ren Suo is a third-turn cultivator. Two days ago, he fought against Gu Yuexuan of the Tianjing Countermeasures Bureau with extraordinary combat power. It can be seen that he must spend a lot of time practicing and honing his spells. Therefore, the scarf he knitted by himself made them so happy. A cultivator's time is very valuable.

But who could have thought that Ren Suo's weaving speed was so crazy!

It is indeed hand-woven and carefully crafted, but it is sold directly by the manufacturer, so there are no middlemen to make a profit from the price difference, so everyone can get one for free!

Ren Suo finally realized that something was wrong at this time. The focus of Gu Yueyan, Qiao Muyi and the others' conversation was all about the scarf, which made him react instantly.

"Yes, the fabric is not good. I feel uncomfortable after wearing it for a while. Do I want to return it?" Ren Suo untied his scarf and looked at it carefully. "This is also the first time I use this kind of cashmere yarn. It feels quite skin-friendly. Maybe my skin is not as sensitive as yours..."

"If you want to return or exchange the product, you will have to wait a few days."

Can you really knit a new scarf in just a few days?

Qiao Muyi was both angry and amused: "No, I really like your gift. I like it so much that I want to keep it as a souvenir."

Ren Xingmei took off her shoes, sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, and asked, "Speaking of which, brother, why did you choose to give us... scarves?"

"Hmm?" Ren Suo blinked. Of course, he couldn't say that it was to improve the favorability of the bond. He looked at Qiao Muyi and repeated the reason he had given her: "I just thought that I should give you gifts for Christmas, and Lianjiang is quite cold. I don't remember where I saw the method of knitting a scarf before, so I just did it on a whim..."

Gu Yueyan sat upright on the chair and said calmly: "If you only gave one scarf, then this reason would be justifiable, but you spent so much time knitting so many scarves just because you were in a momentary whim..."

Dong Chengling continued, “Suo, you are not the kind of person who would spend so much time on a whim.”

Xiao Jiu, who was playing with his phone, laughed and said, "Big brother is very lazy!"

Hearing what they said, Ren Suo was speechless for a moment.

Lin Xianyu, who was eating ice cream with a spoon, said, "Brother Ren has given up cultivation and playing games, and he also knitted scarves for us. There must be a greater benefit behind this!"

For the greater good!

After Lin Xianyu said this, Dong Chengling, Qiao Muyi, Ren Xingmei, Gu Yueyan and the others felt a sudden pang in their hearts, and they all thought of a crazy, infuriating idea to dismember Ren Suo on the spot.

However, after taking one look at Ren Suo, they immediately threw this idea out of their minds.

Come on, even if Ren Suo dared to have such an idea, his brain would not dare to agree to it...

Ren Suo was also feeling a bit annoyed at this time. He really couldn't explain that he was really in a spur of the moment mood. If they were not familiar with each other, it would be fine, but everyone was acquaintances, and they also knew that he was essentially a pragmatist and would not spend too much time on trivial matters.

Even if he would perform highly ritualistic behavior due to a momentary impulse, the impulse would only last for a few hours. However, the total time of knitting a scarf is as long as dozens of days, which is enough time for him to calm down.

This excuse of a spur of the moment thing couldn't fool them at all.

Is it too late to say now that I bought it on Taobao?

Ren Suo thought for a moment and said, "I heard that there is a gift exchange process at Christmas... I'm actually not used to giving gifts to others, and I'm worried that if you give me gifts first, it will be awkward for me to have nothing to give in return. So I'll prepare gifts for you first, and no matter how you respond, I can feel at ease."

Ren Xingmei felt a little unbelievable and said suspiciously: "Just because of this reason? But you never gave me a Christmas present before..."

Ren Suo shrugged: "I've never given my parents Christmas presents before, and this time I gave them two presents... I didn't realize this before, but it's different now."

Gu Yueyan asked: "What's different?"

"Because now the spiritual energy is reviving, the assassin organization, the falling of the secret realm, the demons, the gods and demons..." Ren Suo smiled lightly, crossed his fingers, and said in a relaxed tone: "There are many dangers in this world that we cannot avoid and cannot predict. It's only because there are always tall people to hold up the sky when it falls that we can spend every day so easily."

"Then I felt that I was lucky to be able to live such a peaceful life every day."

Even though he owned the Small World Game Console, Ren Suo was still somewhat worried that the Small World Game Console was not a powerful entity that could protect him, or that the games on the Small World Game Console actually had nothing to do with him, and Ren Suo was just using various means to gain benefits from the games.

If Ren Suo really encounters any danger, will the small world game machine protect him?

Ren Suo didn't know, maybe the Small World Game Machine would make a game in advance for him to pass and avoid danger; or maybe the Small World Game Machine would do nothing, and his life or death would depend entirely on Ren Suo's own luck and ability.

Moreover, compared to other viewers who could only watch in front of the screen, Ren Suo had a deeper and closer understanding of the dangers facing the world. Now, almost all the buds of disasters were strangled by him with the handle.

For example, in the upcoming "Hunted Night", if the Moon Goddess really comes, what will happen to the world?

Are all people sleeping in the ** and having eternal nightmares, turning into nutrients for killing the Moon God?

Ren Suo actually thought about it, was it that the disaster was about to happen, and Ren Suo happened to play this game, so he was able to kill it; or was it because Ren Suo played this game that the Small World Game Console allowed the disaster to happen, so that Ren Suo could kill it?

No matter which possibility it was, it made Ren Suo deeply understand his own vulnerability and also made him know what he had to do.

Even though Ren Suo sleeps all day and uses his lazy and diligent body to practice, Ren Suo has tested that when he practices normally for five hours and practices while sleeping for nine hours, the overall benefit is that he practices more efficiently while sleeping. It doesn't make sense to have a slightly higher efficiency in normal practice, the final benefit is the most important thing.

Of course, the best solution is to practice when awake and when asleep... But Ren Suo needs to play games on the Small World Arcade Machine when he is awake, so he can't practice. Even if he squeezes out a little time, it won't make much sense. It's better to leave the practice to the lazy and diligent body!

The reason why he asked his clone to do housework was similar. The time spent doing housework didn't seem to be much, but when accumulated, it was considerable. The reason why he asked his clone to buy midnight snacks was similar. The time spent buying midnight snacks seemed to be very easy, but when accumulated, it was considerable. The reason why he asked his clone to give him a massage was also similar...

Although laziness played a large part in these reasons, Ren Suo was very aware that whether it was good for himself, society, or the world, he should focus on the small world game console rather than his own cultivation.

Only by completing more games and having more time to summon Qingquan Liuxiang can Ren Suo calmly face any unexpected situation; and the games that Ren Suo chooses can mostly have a positive impact on the world after he completes them, and can better maintain the peace of the world.

Besides playing games and practicing, what can be of great help to Ren Suo are naturally the bonded people and friends he knows.

Whether it was because of the bond system or because of the help he received in his daily life, Ren Suo felt a little grateful to them. And because Ren Suo deeply realized that this world was not as safe as it seemed, he re-examined the way he handled interpersonal relationships.

Only then did Ren Suo vaguely realize that although the winter solstice dinner and the gift of scarves seemed to be just a spur of the moment idea on his part, deep down in his heart, he actually had certain expectations for himself.

"And I am even more fortunate to have met you."

Ren Suo scratched his head, considered his words, and said awkwardly: "Cheng Ling, Master Mu, Yue Yan, sister, Xian Yu and Xiao Jiu, you are all very special and important people to me. This year is almost over, and I was thinking that my greatest achievement this year is not my promotion to the third level, nor my becoming a third-level researcher, but meeting you, Yu Kuangtu, Li Dan, Zhao Huo and several of his female friends..."

"Xianyu, you just said that I would give up cultivation and playing games to knit scarves for you. It must be for the greater good. Actually, it is true." Ren Suo smiled and said, "I think the greater good should be our relationship."

"I used to sincerely believe that I could have enough fun just by playing games. Of course, I still think that games are really fun... But now I feel happy playing games, and I feel relaxed and happy when I am with you."

Perhaps because he had never said such words before, Ren Suo unconsciously took off his shoes, crossed his feet on the sofa, pressed his ankles and shoulders with his hands to form a triangle, and his whole body swayed like a tumbler, as if reflecting his inner unrest.

"But it's different from games. Games only require a console, a power source, and an internet connection to play. But I'm not very good at maintaining interpersonal relationships."

"After all, I'm lucky to be alive. Meeting you might have used up all my luck in the game... Hey?" Ren Suo suddenly remembered something and couldn't help laughing.

"So, I decided to spend every day seriously, sleep seriously, eat seriously, play games seriously, work seriously, and... interact with you seriously."

Ren Suo spread his hands and said, "I just wanted to give you gifts and treat you to a meal. I just don't have a reason to do so normally. It's not easy to come across the Winter Solstice and Christmas, so I found an excuse to give you gifts..."

"Because I want to be good to you."

"And I find giving gifts very interesting. I look forward to your reactions before I give them to you. After I give them to you, I see that you seem very happy to receive the gifts, which makes me happy too."

Ren Suo looked towards the TV screen and scratched his head in embarrassment: "I only know how to make myself happy, but you may not be satisfied with just games like me... I have never learned how to be nice to others before, I only know how to treat people to meals and give them gifts... I am really not good at this kind of thing, am I?"

"yes."

Dong Chengling and the others turned their heads to look at Qiao Muyi. Qiao Muyi propped up her chin and looked at Ren Suo, and said venomously: "Xiao Suo, you are really not good at interpersonal communication, and you don't know how to give gifts."

"I'm sorry." Ren Suo said dejectedly.

"Xiao Qiao... Sister Qiao..."

Qiao Muyi blinked at them and continued, "However, considering your sincerity, your disease can still be cured. It depends on whether you are willing or not."

"How to treat it?" Ren Suo asked.

"Practice more!" Qiao Muyi said righteously, "From now on, on New Year's Day, Lantern Festival, Arbor Day, Women's Day, Labor Day... in short, you must give me gifts on every festival. And it can't be perfunctory. It must be a gift that you carefully prepared!"

Ren Suo was stunned for a moment: "Does Arbor Day have anything to do with you?"

"Of course, since you call me Mr. Mu, how can Arbor Day have nothing to do with me?" Qiao Muyi said, "How about this, if you give me a gift, I will definitely pretend to be happy in order to make you happy. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

Lin Xianyu chimed in, “For me, the most thoughtful gift is the food you made yourself, Brother Ren!”

At this point, Ren Suo didn't know that Qiao Muyi had tricked him. He curled his lips and said, "Forget it, forget it. It takes me a lot of time just to prepare Christmas gifts. If I give gifts during every festival, I'm afraid I won't even have time to practice or have fun. I'll spend the whole year preparing gifts..."

"Yes." Dong Chengling nodded: "Don't pay attention to them, we have received your kindness."

"If it's not possible during the holidays, then you can give me a scarf every Christmas, right?" Qiao Muyi said as a compromise.

Xiao Jiu also came to make trouble at this time, shaking Ren Suo's arm and saying: "Xiao Jiu also wants a scarf every year, and the style must be different every year!"

Ren Xingmei nodded: "This is good, brother, I want one too!"

"Then I want one too." Gu Yueyan blinked, and then Ren Xingmei said.

"The squad leader wants it, so shall I!" Lin Xianyu finished a cup of ice cream and went for another one.

Ren Suo felt something was wrong. How come this Christmas hasn't even passed yet, but they have already decided what gifts to receive for next Christmas?

Oh, no, not next year, but every year!

Ren Suo winked at Dong Chengling, hoping that Dong Chengling would exude the majesty of a fourth-level cultivator and intimidate these girls. Dong Chengling received his gaze, nodded, and said, "Well, Suo, I also want a different style."

I'm not asking what style you want!

However, Ren Suo didn't feel embarrassed and agreed without hesitation. He thought to himself whether he should listen to Lin Xianyu's advice and find a way to get the ability to grow three heads and six arms from the small world game console. In this way, the work of the clone wouldn't be so hard in the future...

The atmosphere became cheerful. At this time, Lin Xianyu suddenly suggested playing board games. Several girls who didn't want to leave at all immediately agreed, and then searched out a brand new box of Three Kingdoms Kill from Ren Suo's house.

Xiaojiu chose to play with his cell phone, and then the six of them started playing an identity game, with one lord, one loyal minister, one traitor and three rebels.

Ren Suo got the lord card in the first game and chose the defensive and offensive Cao Cao.

In the game of Three Kingdoms Killing, the game ends when the lord dies. Loyal ministers are responsible for protecting the lord, rebels are responsible for killing the lord, and traitors need to kill everyone before killing the lord. Before the identity card is revealed, no one knows the identity of others except the lord.

Ren Suo equipped himself with weapons in a high-spirited manner and passed the round.

His next player was Qiao Muyi, who drew cards slowly, then used the trick card [Steal] on Ren Suo and [Killed] Ren Suo.

Ren Suo raised his eyebrows and said, “Qiao Muyi, you traitor!”

The next person after Qiao Muyi was Lin Xianyu. Lin Xianyu smiled and gave Ren Suo a [Cross the River and Demolish the Bridge] card. While playing, he asked, "Brother Ren, although you gave me a gift, I didn't prepare any gift for you."

“Forget it if there’s nothing.” Ren Suo thought to himself, you, Lin Xianyu, are also a traitor!

"Aren't you disappointed without you?" Lin Xianyu asked curiously.

"No, and whether I am disappointed or not, I don't want you to be disappointed in me."

The beautiful girls were all stunned for a moment, then continued playing cards.

Lin Xianyu's next opponent is Gu Yueyan. Gu Yueyan's character is [Zhou Yu]. She chooses to launch [Estrangement] on Ren Suo, asking Ren Suo to guess the suit. If he guesses wrong, he will lose health and get this card.

Ren Suo guessed wrong. When he got the card, he found it was a useless weapon card. His face suddenly turned dark: "Yue Yan, the lord is very disappointed in you."

"That's enough as long as I'm not disappointed in you." Gu Yueyan said with a smile.

Gu Yueyan, the third traitor!

Gu Yueyan’s next person was Ren Xingmei. Ren Xingmei was not polite to her brother at all. She equipped the weapon card and then directly stabbed her brother!

Sister, the fourth traitor...four traitors?

"Protect the emperor!"

[Protect the Emperor], the lord's skill, allows other Wei faction characters to help him cast a [Flash].

Ren Suo looked at Dong Chengling beside him with sincere eyes, but Dong Chengling was staring at the cards in his hand without saying a word.

Dong Chengling was a loyal subject no matter what. Ren Suo thought that she might just not have [dodged], so he had to take the blow from his sister.

Then Ren Xingmei used [Demolish the Bridge after Crossing the River] on Ren Suo and destroyed one of Ren Suo's cards.

Finally they arrived at Dong Chengling. Dong Chengling equipped the weapon card neatly and also gave Ren Suo a knife.

Dong Chengling, the fifth traitor...are there no loyal ministers or traitors?

Ren Suo frowned, realizing that things were not that simple. How could there be five traitors among the six players? Was the ID card issued to the wrong person? But the problem was that he was the one who issued the ID card!

The lord was chopped down to only one drop of blood, and it was Ren Suo's turn. He didn't touch the [Peach], so he couldn't recover blood. He quickly passed this round, thinking that the game would end soon.

When it was Qiao Muyi's turn, Qiao Muyi unexpectedly did not attack Ren Suo, but instead launched a [Duel] against Dong Chengling!

Ren Suo blinked his eyes. It turned out that Qiao Muyi was the traitor?

When it was Lin Xianyu's turn, Lin Xianyu launched [Barbarian Invasion]. Ren Suo thought he was doomed, but he didn't expect that Lin Xianyu would directly give Ren Suo [Invulnerable], helping Ren Suo to become immune to [Barbarian Invasion]!

Lin Xianyu, are you also a traitor?

However, next, Gu Yueyan, Ren Xingmei, and Dong Chengling did not attack Ren Suo, but fought each other. However, if Ren Suo dared to replenish his blood or equip a weapon card, he would be quickly chopped down and dismantled.

The five rebels have become five traitors! ?

Ren Suo just watched the five of them fighting in bewilderment, he could do nothing at all, he was even more useless than a vase.

Although it was a five-person fight, Qiao Muyi and Dong Chengling seemed to be attacked by the other three and were quickly eliminated. Their identities were respectively a traitor and a loyal minister.

Ren Suo looked at Qiao Muyi and Dong Chengling standing up with a bit of envy, while he himself had to continue playing this game of vase master, and could only wait weakly for the three of them to decide the final winner.

Qiao Muyi and Dong Chengling walked to the balcony. Qiao Muyi glanced at the four people fighting in the living room, lifted her hair by her ears, and asked, "Chengling, are you angry?"

"No."

"Really?"

"No." Dong Chengling's answer was as calm as ever.

"But I'm a little angry." Qiao Muyi pouted and snorted twice: "Giving gifts in bulk is something that only a fool like Xiao Suo can do..."

"He is just being nice to us in his own way." Dong Chengling defended.

Qiao Muyi looked at Dong Chengling with a smile on her face and asked, "Shouldn't you take this opportunity to stir up trouble and make me leave in anger?"

"You shouldn't." Dong Chengling shook his head: "I don't want you to be angry with him. Xiao Qiao, you are also a very important friend of mine."

Qiao Muyi was speechless for a moment and shook her head: "Although I am a little angry, I also forgive him... After all, his greatest achievement this year is to know me!"

Dong Chengling was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Qiao Muyi smiled and said, "But he always makes me angry, funny and fond of him. It seems that I will be eaten alive by him in this life."

"No, I'll make him loosen up on you."

"Humph." Qiao Muyi winked at Dong Chengling provocatively and said, "Speaking of which, I want to change my strategy. I'll let you know in advance."

"Change?"

"Well, because I think what Xiao Suo said makes sense. I'm lucky to be alive, and knowing him has used up all my luck in this life... I shouldn't treat him with a playful attitude anymore. I have to be serious."

"What do you mean?" Dong Chengling raised his eyebrows, and a hint of vigilance appeared in his clear big eyes.

Qiao Muyi suddenly asked Dong Chengling: "Chengling, if what he gives you is the same as what he gives to others, do you still want it?"

Dong Chengling was slightly startled, then she saw Qiao Muyi narrowed her eyes slightly, raised the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were full of charming smiles.

"I will take it." Qiao Muyi touched the scarf and chuckled, "Not only do I want it, but I want more. I want what he gave to others, and I also want what he didn't give to others!"
