Chapter 10 I'll give you a good slap! "Wow, Qing..."

"Wow, Qingqing, have you struck it rich? You bought so much delicious food." Gu Tuo looked at the table full of food. He knew Yu Qing's financial situation. If he suddenly spent so much money, it must be something good.

Yu Qing said with a grin, "When I ran back yesterday, I ran into Captain Zhou killing monsters. He swept his golden sword and killed a lot of monsters. I picked up some crystals."

"You're so brave, how much did you pick up?"

Yu Qing pulled a handful of crystals out of his pocket and said, "There are so many. These should fetch a good price."

These crystals were only a part of it; he was embarrassed to say that he had picked up more than two hundred crystals, as that would be a bit dishonest.

This was the first time Gu Tuo had ever seen a crystal. He picked up a crystal about the size of a fingernail and looked at it from side to side.

"So this is what crystals look like. They're dark and look a bit like glass."

"Yeah, can you get a few hundred yuan for something like this?" Yu Qing pretended not to understand.

"It seems like there are about 500 each. You have more than 20 here, which is more than 10,000 yuan." Gu Tuo said happily, "I'm rich, I'm rich."

"So let's have a meal to celebrate today, and hopefully we can meet Captain Zhou fighting monsters again next time." Yu Qing put away the crystal, then took out another one and handed it to Gu Tuo. "I heard that crystals can awaken superpowers. Give it a try, and if you do, you'll be able to kill monsters in the future."

In the original story, Gu Tuo was injured during a ghostly resurrection, but he unexpectedly awakened his supernatural abilities.

Now that there's a new opportunity, why not give it a try? Why risk getting hurt?

Gu Tuo was flattered and took the crystal.

"Really for me? But the internet says the probability of a small crystal awakening a superpower is only one in ten thousand. I might as well exchange it for five hundred yuan."

Yu Qing said nonchalantly, "Let's give it a try. Anyway, we just picked up the crystals. Let's eat first, and then we'll find an auspicious time to awaken them later, haha!"

Gu Tuo laughed along, "Okay, then you should try it too, since you found it anyway."

Yu Qing nodded: "Let's give it a try."

The two happily began to enjoy their meal.

Yu Qing was very happy to have someone by his side.

Back on Planet Ace, he always kept to himself, with only Ali as his companion.

On Planet Ace, every day is busy and there are many things to do. When I finally get off work and go home, I have no mood to play with anyone. I just want to be alone and take a nap.

Planet Ace has many entertainment venues, but no good food; going out to play is just playing around.

It means "shortcoming".

It's great here; there are so many delicious foods. Eating delicious food at home makes me feel twice as happy.

After eating and drinking their fill, Yu Qing and Gu Tuo both slumped back on the sofa.

"Taku, there's something I want to tell you."

Yu Qing's tone suddenly became serious.

Gu Tuo looked over, his gaze becoming more serious.

I sense something terrible has happened.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Tuo moved closer to him.

Yu Qing took the report out of his pocket and handed it to him.

"I just went to the hospital for a check-up."

Gu Tuo thought he had some serious illness, and his heart pounded when he took the report.

However, he looked at it for a long time but still couldn't understand it.

"What...does this mean?"

Yu Qing calmly said, "I'm pregnant."

"What?" Gu Tuo exclaimed, "Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding you, it's true, I'm pregnant, and it's twins. I have an extra organ in my body compared to yours, um... I guess that's what people call a deformed child."

Yu Qing simply wanted to make it easier for Gu Tuo to understand.

Gu Tuo, however, said righteously, "Where is the deformity? You are clearly more perfect than others. You have what others don't."

Yu Qing looked at Gu Tuo, wondering if this was the perfect best friend the author had described.

Why am I feeling a little touched?

"Taku, you're so kind. I want to be your friend for life."

Gu Tuo laughed and said, "We've always been friends for life, so... who's the father of the child? When did you start dating? I didn't know!"

“I didn’t talk about it. Do you remember when the ghostly resurrection happened at the Yue’an Hotel a month ago? I was working there.” Yu Qing asked.

Gu Tuo nodded, surprised, and said, "You were possessed by a ghost..."

“It wasn’t a ghost, but I don’t know who it was either. I was blinded by the red mist and don’t remember anything. Tuo, you have to keep this a secret for me. I plan to give birth to the child myself and raise it myself. I don’t want that man to come and take my child away from me in the future.” Yu Qing looked at Gu Tuo very seriously, grabbed his hand and raised it up. “Swear it.”

Gu Tuo raised his hand and swore, "I will definitely not tell anyone. These two children are your only children. Can I be their godfather?"

"sure."

"Wow, what will you name the baby?"

"This...is too early."

"Haha, yes, it is a bit like that. Do we have to wait nine months to see it?"

"More or less."

"Perfect timing, we'll be graduating in a few months. Your belly shouldn't be too big before graduation, so no one will know."

Yu Qing was moved again; Gu Tuo had already begun to plan for his future reputation.

Normal men in this world are incapable of having children.

Once the fact that a man who can have children is made public is exposed, it will definitely attract all sorts of comments.

However, he didn't care.

Afterwards, the two talked a lot about the future.

These are all beautiful expectations.

Around 10 o'clock, Yu Qing returned to his room, lay down on the bed, and began to calculate.

How much does it cost to raise a child?

He has two children, so all expenses are doubled.

It's unlikely he'll be able to breastfeed.

Therefore, babies need to drink formula from birth until they are weaned.

How many cans of milk powder would that take?

Even the best-selling, affordable version costs around 400 yuan for a 900-gram tub.

Yu Qing felt that the little money he had wasn't enough to raise his child.

"Sigh, my father will have to earn more money." Yu Qing sighed softly.

＊

The next morning, Yu Qing got up early and went to the Crystal Exchange.

The exchange is located diagonally opposite the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities. The entrance is paved with marble floor tiles that reflect the sunlight.

Those who can enter and exit the exchange are all people with superpowers.

Even those without superpowers cannot obtain crystals.

The official crystal exchange only buys and does not sell to external parties.

The country needs to train an army with superpowers, which creates a huge demand for crystals.

Currently, the demand for crystals exceeds the supply.

Yu Qing specially wore a mask, black-rimmed glasses, and a baseball cap.

He was dressed in a low-key black tracksuit.

His backpack was full of crystals.

I counted them before leaving the house; there were two hundred and twenty in total.

Although they were all in the 500 yuan range, if he sold them all, he would have 110,000 yuan. He still needs a lot of money to have a baby.

As soon as Yu Qing entered the hall, he saw a man in a black suit holding a megaphone and shouting, "Exchange staff, come and assemble for the morning meeting."

Yu Qing was embarrassed; he had arrived too early.

The staff members gathered together.

The squad leader, holding a megaphone, said, "We've received a mission from above today. Everyone, please remember this: from now on, pay special attention to anyone who sells more than fifty crystals at once and report it immediately. We need to be quick to react. Also, keep an eye on anyone who sells forty or more at once. It seems like they're looking for someone. Got it?"

Yu Qing stood two meters behind the squad leader.

It felt like those words were directed at him.

Could it be that the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities is looking for yesterday's mysterious anchor?

Luckily, he arrived at the right time; otherwise, selling more than two hundred crystals at once would have definitely been discovered.

Since you're new here, keep a low profile.

Yu Qing took out twenty crystals from his bag. "That should be safe, right?"

He was a little unsure, so he didn't go over immediately. Instead, he wandered around and let others make the transactions first.

He saw a man in his thirties place a bag of crystals on the counter.

“I’m selling all of these.”

The staff counted the coins one by one, three times in total. The two confirmed the quantity, wrote out a receipt, both parties signed and stamped it, and the money was transferred on the spot.

After receiving the money, the man left happily.

The entire transaction was very efficient.

The man traded twenty-six crystals.

After that, another man went to make the deal; he had sixteen.

Yu Qing thought that his twenty pills should be safe too.

His gaze fell on the benefits displayed on the wall.

Pension insurance and medical insurance.

Oh! And there's maternity insurance too!

If you sell more than 3,000 crystals within a year, you can receive a free year of the highest tier of pension or medical insurance.

Yu Qing was very interested in this. He could live for many years, and he could receive pension benefits for seven or eight hundred years!

Yu Qing was secretly pleased and went over to join the queue.

He easily sold twenty crystals and received 10,000 yuan on the spot.

I'll come here every few days and sell a dozen or twenty pieces each time. Perfect!

——

At the entrance of the Superpower Bureau.

Chen Jiahao came out and pushed up his glasses.

After today, Tian Weifeng's body will be sent for cremation.

This ghostly murder case has come to a perfect end.

Chen Jiahao couldn't help but smile.

In front of a large window in an office on the second floor of the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities.

Zhou Fengyun and Luo Jianjie stood side by side, watching the departing figure on the first floor.

Luo Jianjie said, "I feel like there's something strange about this incident."

Zhou Fengyun: "But there is no evidence."

A ghost suddenly appeared, killed someone, and then disappeared.

There haven't been any ghostly murders in the past few days, so it seems this ghost appeared specifically to kill Tian Weifeng.

——

Diagonally opposite the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities is the Crystal Exchange.

There are plenty of parking spaces in front of the exchange, and Chen Jiahao parked his car there.

Yu Qing happened to walk out and came face to face with Chen Jiahao.

Chen Jiahao didn't even glance at Yu Qing, and Yu Qing didn't intend to pay him any attention either.

Just as Chen Jiahao turned around to open the car door...

A cloud of black smoke suddenly appeared from the back of his head.

A black demon rushed towards Yu Qing.

The evil spirit hadn't left Chen Jiahao's side yet, as if it hadn't fully emerged.

Yu Qing looked around at the people passing by; it seemed that none of them could see the ghost.

The evil spirit did not attack Yu Qing, but instead bared its teeth arrogantly at him and made a frightening face.

Yu Qing was a little angry.

He raised his hand and slapped her hard across the face.

Snap!

The demon's head was knocked to the side; he covered his face, looking at Yu Qing with a terrified and incredulous expression.

He could actually...see him!

The evil spirit, somewhat frightened, quickly shrank back into Chen Jiahao's body.

Chen Jiahao seemed to sense something and turned to look at Yu Qing.

Yu Qing was wearing a hat, glasses, and a mask.

Chen Jiahao couldn't make out his appearance.

But his intuition made him uneasy.

This person will cause trouble!

——

"Did you see it?" Zhou Fengyun asked.

"I saw it. The man slapped Chen Jiahao across the back," Luo Jianjie said.

"I feel like he hit something." Zhou Fengyun looked at the man, at his height and build.

It looks somewhat familiar.
