Chapter 30 [Please add to your favorites]
Song Ying: "Actually, there's something I need to ask you."
Lin Leyou said, "Village chief, just tell me the truth."
Song Ying said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. No one in the village has volunteered to take over this job at the convenience store yet. There's no way I can help it; it will take me a few more days to select someone personally."
Lin Leyou blinked. "So, village chief, you want me to stay here until you choose someone else?"
Song Ying smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, it won't take too long. If it's fast, it will only take two days, and if it's slow, four or five days will definitely be enough."
"I won't treat you badly these next few days. You can take the profits from the convenience store with you, and... these two things are for you."
Lin Leyou looked at the two things in Song Ying's hand and was stunned for a moment. They were actually two hand grenades!
He carefully took it and obtained the information he wanted.
"White grenade: It's just a regular grenade."
Song Ying, "How is it?"
Lin Leyou blinked. He searched for grenades in his shop and found them. The grenade levels, from lowest to highest, were white, green, blue, purple, and gold. White was the lowest level, and each grenade cost 10 points.
The green, blue, purple, and gold grenades are worth 50, 100, 500, and 1000 points respectively.
As for the power, it increases tenfold. So, if we calculate it this way, is a gold-plated grenade still a grenade?
However, buying these two grenades would cost 20 points, which would be a sure-fire way to make money for me.
"Then I'll accept it, thank you, village chief."
Song Ying's smile became much more genuine. "That's good. I won't bother you anymore."
After seeing Song Ying off, Lin Leyou returned to the convenience store. As he walked through the door, he suddenly paused, because he had just received a message.
"Congratulations to resident Lin Leyou on obtaining temporary housing."
Temporary home? What temporary home?
Wait... a home?! He has a home?
He previously wanted to return to the real world, but the system warned him that it would be very dangerous without a home. But now he has a home.
Even though it's only temporary, it still counts as something, right?
That means...
Lin Leyou thought of a possibility and felt a little nervous. His heart was racing, and he couldn't help but swallow. Did this mean that he could go back to the real world?
He wants to try it now!
"boss?"
Lin Leyou, "Huh?"
The person who came was Granny Cao.
"Boss, give me a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor)."
Lin Leyou blinked, turned around and took a bottle of baijiu from the counter behind her. "Grandma, you drink baijiu?"
Grandma Cao paid the money, "Yes, I drink a small cup every day."
After seeing Granny Cao off, Lin Leyou realized that he was now the owner of the convenience store and needed to be dedicated during business hours. He couldn't just abandon his job here.
Even if you want to go back, you have to wait until after the store closes at 5 p.m.
He suppressed his excitement, put the two grenades into his backpack, and sat quietly in the convenience store until it closed at five o'clock sharp.
Lin Leyou has now completely calmed down, and the excitement he felt when he first learned about this in the morning is gone. A whole day is enough for him to think about many things.
For example, whether or not one is still alive.
If you die, even if you have a home and a way to return to the real world, you still can't go back.
After closing the door, he sat in the room for a while, then quietly got up and made himself dinner. After eating and drinking his fill and cleaning up, he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
"Should we return to the real world?"
Lin Leyou took a deep breath and chose yes.
Gradually, Lin Leyou felt his consciousness becoming somewhat blurred. Perhaps it was a minute, perhaps a second; he himself didn't know how much time had passed.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a ceiling that was both strange and familiar.
He sat bolt upright. This place… wasn't this his room in his rural hometown? Had he returned to the real world not to receive treatment in a hospital, but to his hometown?
Was I beyond saving, so I was taken back to my hometown to die? Wait, that doesn't make sense either.
Lin Leyou's gaze fell on the desk by the window, where his schoolbag was still on the desk. He had used this schoolbag for three years in high school, and even after he went out to work, he carried this bag with him.
I used it for several years while I was working, until it was so worn out that I had to get a new one. Logically, this backpack shouldn't have been replaced.
Just as he was about to get up to check, a woman's sharp and shrill voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"You brat, don't you even look at your grades? What kind of university can you get into? You should hurry up and go out to work so you can find a job and earn some money sooner."
"You know our family situation, how can you be so insensible? We used to treat you so well, now that you're an adult, do you still want to leech off us?"
That sound is...
Then a man's voice came through, "What's going on? Why aren't you coming out?"
"Yes, this kid got angry when I asked him to go to work and earn money. He said he was good enough to go to university, but he didn't realize that he was just barely up to the cutoff score. I've already asked the teachers, and the chances of him getting into a bachelor's program are very slim. He can basically only get into a vocational college."
Lin Leyou remembered that the people speaking outside were her parents.
He looked at his hands; they were fair-skinned and had long, slender fingers, completely different from the dark, hard, and cracked hands he used to have.
Is this... he's back?
Listening to what his parents just said, he felt like he was back to the time right after he graduated high school and checked his scores.
Somewhat incredulously, I touched my face, and to my surprise, it felt so smooth and soft.
Lin Leyou covered his mouth and laughed silently. He hadn't expected to receive such a big surprise. He still thought he was that penniless fifty-year-old middle-aged man.
Unexpectedly, being hit by a car... this collision not only brought him an opportunity, but also took him back to the time more than 20 years ago when he had just graduated from high school.
How long has he been in the room?
"It's been seven or eight hours since noon, and he hasn't said a word. He didn't eat lunch, and when we called him to eat dinner, he didn't say anything either. Is he planning to go on a hunger strike?"
"Fine, if he doesn't want to eat, then he won't eat. Let him starve for a few days and he'll see! He's going on a hunger strike with us?"
After saying that, the two gradually left the room.
After calming down, Lin Leyou realized he was a little hungry, but he didn't want to go out to eat at all. Instead, he checked his panel.
Sure enough, it could be opened, and even the backpack shop could be viewed. He looked at the two grenades in the backpack and tried to take them out, and he actually managed to take them out!
