Chapter 7: Suli: Confused.jpg



After eating Egbert's food for several days in a row, Sully didn't react at all, but Cyril couldn't help it.

"If you keep eating like this, sooner or later Sully won't be able to see the sun tomorrow!"

God knows what I have been going through in the past few days.

However, the fact that Suli is not picky about food is indeed deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Even Cyril would quietly avoid the Stargazer pie when she saw it, but Sully could eat it without any expression on her face.

At first, Cyril thought it was normal and she was unwilling to accept it because it looked too strange. Later, she saw that Sully squatted in the toilet all day long, but she never refused it and continued to eat. She couldn't help but want to try it herself...

The results were disastrous.

Cyril finally understood that for a child of God who had been raised by others, common sense did not exist. But Sully did not have high demands on life and would not have any opinions as long as he could meet the survival targets.

Cyril's eyebrows were all tense and her expression was indescribable.

He asked Suli, "Don't you think this thing... tastes bad?"

Suli would just blink and answer innocently, "It's better than having nothing to eat, not to mention I don't have any elements."

Kitchen appliances seem to have the prototype of modern kitchen appliances, but the driving energy of all things is elements.

Suli has no elements, so naturally there is no way to use it.

So in this world where he couldn't even light a fire, of course he would eat whatever Egbert did.

Besides, it's not as exaggerated as Cyril said.

Suli said: "The human body has self-immunity. If you eat it a few times, your stomach will get used to it and will be able to accept it."

Cyril's face twitched uncontrollably: "But you've been squatting in the toilet for more than two hours a day for a whole week!"

The boy turned around and saw the slightly confused look on the face of the Son of God. This Son of God, who looked very powerful but was actually "completely detached from the mundane world", always thought that Sully was in the toilet because he had more inspiration in the toilet. Once the door was closed, it would become a completely independent space, allowing Sully to think better.

Don't think he doesn't know that Egbert already carries a pen and paper with him, just to write down everything Sully says at any time.

Cyril, who was illiterate, felt dizzy at just one glance at the densely packed small characters and wanted to fall asleep on the spot.

But Egbert always said: "One day I will understand the full meaning of what Lord Sully said!"

Cyril: He is just simply expressing his feelings about what he has been through, okay? There is no further thought at all, please stop imagining!

Egbert was still confused: "Is there something wrong with the food I made?"

“There are problems everywhere!”

For a moment, this home made Cyril wonder who had given him the illusion of walking back to the world from hell a week ago.

This is clearly a deeper abyss!

Sully: You understand me!

Cyril looked at Sully, whose eyes had brightened up and made his young face look even more delicate and handsome, and turned his head away without saying a word.

There is nothing wrong with Suli, the only one with a problem is the Son of God.

"Don't you dare try that pie you made yourself!"

Egbert ate it, and Egbert was fine.

Cyril didn't believe in evil, so she ate it too...

Sully looked at Cyril with a look of pity as she rushed into the toilet.

As the daily life full of drama was still going on, the door of the small red brick building was knocked by an outsider for the first time.

Just as Suli was about to go and see who was coming, Egbert was already alert and pushed him back onto the wooden sofa. After he sat down, he said, "Please don't leave my sight casually. There are many strong men in Sadina City. I can't guarantee that I can protect you in all situations."

Suli said expressionlessly: "No, I think even in this high-risk world, no one would be stupid enough to just go and show up at someone's house."

When Egbert saw that it was Euphia outside the door, he breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head with an extremely serious expression and returned his gaze to Sully.

"What did you just say? I don't think I heard it clearly." As he said this, Egbert took out a pen and paper from his pocket.

"I mean, welcome guests." Sully felt for a moment that he had actually gotten used to Egbert's abnormal behavior, and had even given reasonable explanations for his various weird actions.

That is, the life of the Son of Light is too stressful, and he has to find a way to relieve the pressure, so...

Just let him be.

"Life is already so hard, people have to do something to keep going."

Sully was not surprised to see Egbert take out a pen and paper to write down these meaningless words. He just looked at Euphia as if nothing had happened, and at the old man with a white beard standing next to her, who looked very kind.

Euphia looked at Egbert curiously, who was writing something down and completely immersed in his own world. She asked Sully curiously, "What is he doing?"

"It's just a little skill to relieve stress in life. Just pretend you didn't see it." Sully waved his hand.

This family still has to be maintained by an ordinary person like him.

"By the way, what are you doing here this time? I remember that I paid the rent to you three days ago." Su Li was actually a little worried about the rising house prices.

What is a silver coin equivalent to? It is equivalent to 100 yuan in modern society. 100 yuan can rent a western-style building... Even a haunted house dare not give such a cheap price.

But reality tells Suli that ordinary people like himself who are not special in any way are the ones who really cannot keep up with the awareness of the people in this world.

When Euphia heard his question, she said, "It's like this. Some time ago, I told my father the information and insights I learned from you." After that, Euphia pointed to the old man standing next to her.

"My father and I thought my idea was necessary to implement, but this matter encountered obstacles in the process of advancement. You know, the Mercenary Guild is not a one-man show for me and my father, so after I told them about the new plan, I was immediately opposed by those three-star mercenaries. They did not see any positive impact from my plan. The only point of concern was that if the customers issued too few combat missions, they would not be able to earn more gold coins."

"Those brainless people made me wonder if they had their mouths full of earwax from the God of Light."

Sully: ...

"Wait, let's not talk about what you learned from me or what you realized, but using the term "the God of Light" to describe me, isn't there something wrong with that?"

Wasn’t it said that this world is very god-respecting?

"I would rather describe it as the ** of the God of Light."

“…”

"Back to the question I asked earlier, I came here to ask if you have any other opinions."

But the problem is that I don't even know what your plan is...

Suli was confused.

But since others had already asked the question, especially since the other party owned a small western-style house with a monthly rent of silver coins, Su Li of course chose to answer with his own logic.

It is known that the Mercenary Union is equivalent to the intermediary center, and it is also known that Euphia is the next successor of the intermediary center, and her father is the current actual person in power, so the three-star mercenaries mentioned by Euphia are probably the shareholders of the company.

When a company's shareholders disagree with a plan, there is only one solution, which is to make the benefits to be obtained known.

"You need to consider not only the primary stakeholders of the plan you are about to implement, but also what those three-star mercenaries need."

Euphia nodded seriously. This was indeed something she had overlooked before. The sudden birth of the plan was like an art lover being suddenly struck by inspiration. It was difficult to consider whether the implementation process would be difficult at the moment. Instead, all her attention was focused on getting this thing done.

"Those greedy guys only want gold coins." Euphia showed a look of disgust.

Mercenaries, who symbolize freedom and loyalty, shouldn't care so much about money, that's what Euphia thinks. But obviously, Suli, who was once a poor office worker and is now a lonely teenager, still can't empathize with the rich woman.

"Then you need to tell them how much they will get after your plan is completed, instead of proposing the plan and then ignoring it and waiting for your subordinates to help implement it."

"People will never be able to empathize with each other. If you want to impress others, you need more than just courage."

In the case that the heirs have not yet been exposed to the company's actual operations, they should at least come up with a few plans for the shareholders to choose from, so that they can have a say after the plans are decided to be implemented, rather than just proposing a plan and assuming that the plan will be achieved.

Euphia began to ponder over these words.

Sully, however, was sitting on the wooden sofa, looking very uncomfortable.

These words are just his speculations based on the information he currently has. At first glance, they all seem to make sense. In fact, they can only be said to be his personal unilateral and groundless speculation. After all, up to now, Suli has not understood what the actual situation is.

What's more, if Euphia thinks his words are too watery and is dissatisfied, she will raise the rent of the small western-style house or kick them out...

Sully was so anxious that he wanted to jump up from the sofa.

When Cyril bravely climbed out of the toilet, it was as if a light bulb suddenly popped up in Euphia's head and she thought of something.

Then she said happily: "You are right. Even if those greedy old guys like gold coins, they have to admit that reducing the death rate of mercenaries can keep them alive to accept more missions. And the alliance that complements the mercenaries can get more commissions. Besides, who can say that the commission for daily missions will definitely be lower than that for combat missions?"

Euphia had never thought about this before, and she took it for granted that everyone was an idealist. Then, when she discussed the plan, the realists slapped her in the face.

She was rejected, told it was impossible, and criticized for "doing useless things again." Many three-star mercenaries even told her father, "If Euphia continues like this, I don't believe what the future of the Alliance will be like."

Euphia spent a long time wrestling with that group of people.

She said: "You shouldn't think of this thing so superficially. We were weak once, and if it weren't for luck, we would have died in the past. So making the mission no longer dangerous and reducing the risk is something that must be done. This is for the future of more young people!"

She said, "Do you think it's normal for you to watch those people die?"

However, everyone's face showed indifference.

Euphia, who thinks she may not be as smart as Sully but is also an adult, did not speak out about the grievances she had suffered recently, but she still felt sad for the indifference of people who were once brave.

And now, the courage that was about to be extinguished was replaced by Suli's words, which seemed so meaningless that they gave Euphia the motivation to continue and the determination to believe that she would succeed.

Yuphia thought Sully was really smart.

Yufia thought that Sully's eyes never showed any emotion, and he looked at everything at its essence.

Pure, and powerful in a non-force sense.

Euphia believed that she had obtained an answer that was more in line with human needs than a gift from God.

Euphia sat up from the sofa opposite Suli and excitedly talked about her idea: "I plan to push a new plan specifically for the nobles, and assign three-star mercenaries to go out. Not only can I send those old guys who have no foresight and are full of twists and turns to make money, but I can also implement the plan more conveniently. I am really a genius!"

"No." Yufia stretched out her hands and held Sully's left hand, which was clenched into a fist and resting on her thigh. Her excited emotions, undisguised smile, and the action of bending her knees and squatting to lower her height to that of Sully who was sitting on the sofa were enough to show that she was feeling emotional.

"You are just as I imagined. You can see all the places I have never seen before! You are a true genius!"

The old man next to him watched the whole thing and suddenly laughed for a while. Then he said, "Eufia, getting to know this kid is the most normal thing you have done in the past few years. He is really smarter than you say."

Suli:?

Suli: Confused.jpg

What the hell are you talking about?!

Cyril: "It's right to know Sully. I admit that. But why do I feel like I missed so much information when I just went to the bathroom?"

Someone, explain it.

Egbert said as if it was a matter of course: "Knowing Sully is a once-in-a-lifetime blessing."
