Chapter 34 Platinum Joy Supermarket wanted to lock people up, forbidding anyone from coveting them...
At this point, even a fool should understand.
Mu Zhuo wasn't stupid. He not only understood, but also sensed another layer of meaning—it seemed that the rumors about shipping couples in the live stream weren't unfounded, and that Shen Su and Shi Yu might really have some unusual relationship.
Shen Su has already said so.
It would be impolite to ask any more questions.
Mu Zhuo was about to give up when she heard Shen Su say, "Actually, he and I don't have any special relationship."
Mu Zhuo: "?"
Shen Su continued, "Just ordinary friends."
Mu Zhuo felt like he was being played, but Shen Su didn't seem to be playing him either. At least at this moment, Shen Su's expression was very serious, and his words were also very earnest: "As a matter of respect for a friend, I need to ask for his opinion on this matter."
The fact that Shen Su is willing to agree means there's hope for this.
Although half of the goal has been achieved, I don't feel as happy as I imagined.
"Of course." Mu Zhuo's smile was forced.
He originally thought Shen Su seemed to have a good personality and would be easy to persuade, but he didn't expect that this person would be all smiles one second and throw a bomb at you the next, pushing you into the mud one moment and then casually reaching out to you the next.
His temperament is unpredictable and completely unfathomable.
Mu Zhuo even began to doubt whether bringing Chen Su into the group was the right decision.
However, if you don't win over Shen Su, and player-versus-player matches happen later on, wouldn't it be more terrifying to be an opponent of such a person than a teammate?
Thinking of this, Mu Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief.
His decision was right.
Mu Zhuo returned to his room and immediately contacted Jiang Yan, who was in the same room but a different instance, using Morse code: "Sister Jiang, can you do me a favor?"
Jiang Yan: "Speak."
Mu Zhuo: "Could you find out for me if Shi Yu from your instance has a boyfriend?"
Jiang Yan: "?"
Jiang Yan: "???"
.
On the other side, Shi Yu found several A4 sheets of paper and listed out the information of Lu Siming's eight siblings:
Lao Lushanze, male, biologist, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, unfortunately died in a car accident at the age of 57.
His wife, with whom he had been in love for many years, developed mental health issues because she could not accept Lu Shanze's death. She is now working in a private nursing home abroad. His son and daughter also have their careers abroad and rarely return to China.
This eliminates the possibility of Lu Shanze's wife and children fighting for the inheritance.
Shi Yu drew an "X" next to Lu Shanze's name.
The second son, Lu Jianchuan, is a 65-year-old real estate tycoon. Lu Jianchuan's net worth is several times higher than Lu Siming's. His wife is the daughter of a high-ranking official, making it a powerful combination of government and business. The couple has three sons, two of whom work in government departments, and the other serves as the vice chairman of their father's real estate group. Such a family would likely look down on Lu Siming's meager inheritance.
but……
Shi Yu thought for a moment and then typed a question mark (?) here.
The third child is Lu Boyue's father, Lu Siming.
The fourth son, Lu Zhicheng, was Lu Shang's father, and he has passed away.
Lu Shang, female, 23 years old, currently a university student.
Speaking of Lu Shang, Lu Boyue's fourth cousin has a rather bumpy life. Lu Shang's mother died in childbirth when she was born, and her father suddenly passed away from a heart attack the day after her eighteenth birthday. Lu Shang grew up without a mother, and her father was usually busy with work and didn't have time to spend with her, which led to Lu Shang's withdrawn personality from a young age. Among the Lu family, she was only close to Lu Boyue.
Lu Shang is also one of the shareholders of Platinum Joy Supermarket.
Shi Yu marked this place with an asterisk (*).
This should be a key focus of the investigation.
The fifth woman, Lu Wanting, is a 44-year-old dentist. Her husband is an artist of mixed Chinese and German descent. They have a daughter and the family of three immigrated abroad.
That can be ruled out.
Lu Zhaonian, the sixth son, is a 36-year-old male surgeon. He has a boyfriend who owns a coffee shop. The two have already registered their marriage abroad. Both of them are people who do not pursue material things but value spiritual inner qualities.
That can also be ruled out.
Lu Chengjing, the seventh son, is a 32-year-old male and the CEO of an entertainment company.
Lu Chengjing's womanizing ways are comparable to Lu Siming's. Almost all the artists in his company have ambiguous relationships with him, and the public's impression of him is that he is "surrounded by beauties," "drunk on the lap of beauties," and "a playboy."
But many people forget that his entertainment company is a publicly listed company, ranking among the top 500 in the country, and he is only 32 years old this year.
This is a person far more complex than other members of the Lu family.
Shi Yu put a question mark next to Lu Chengjing's name.
After thinking about it, I added an asterisk (*).
Although the eighth brother, Lu Chen, and the ninth brother, Lu Yu, are Lu Boyue's uncles in terms of seniority, they are younger than Lu Boyue. One is in college, and the other is not yet an adult. They don't seem like they would come to fight for the inheritance.
All of them can be ruled out.
...
Based on this, the most suspicious are the fourth brother's daughter, Lu Shang, and the seventh brother, Lu Chengjing.
Secondly, there's the second son, Lu Jianchuan.
Although all the data has been reviewed and eliminated, written data alone is not enough.
He needs to meet with these people.
I'll ask Lu Boyue tomorrow if we can arrange for them to meet.
By the time Shi Yu finished, it was already 2 a.m. Lin Fengbai had gone to sleep in the props section. On the coffee table were the needle and thread that Lin Fengbai had used to string together the origami cranes, but none of the origami cranes in the box were missing.
Two icons have appeared in the item bar of the game panel at some point.
One is a thousand paper cranes, and the other is a pile of small particles.
Item Name: [Origami Cranes]
Prop description: 666 origami cranes folded by Lin Fengbai for you.
Item Function: Schrödinger's Luck +1
Attack method: None
Shi Yu: "..."
Can you even put items from game dungeons into your inventory? Is this something other players can do, or is it only Lin Fengbai who can do it?
Also, were the item descriptions written by Lin Fengbai or by the system?
Item Name: [Broken Sugar Granules]
Item description: A product with an unknown production date and no manufacturer information.
Item function: Replenishes 1 point of energy.
Attack method: None
Shi Yu: "..."
Shi Yu recognized it as the orange-flavored lollipop that Shen Su had given him and then passed on to Lin Fengbai, which had been smashed.
Production date unknown?
Three-no products?
I'll have to ask Shen Su where she bought the candy when I have time.
.
The clothes that Lu Boyue had purchased for everyone arrived early the next morning.
Lu Boyue can be said to have a good understanding of everyone's taste.
The clothes purchased for Shi Yu were light-colored shirts, sweatshirts, sweaters, sportswear, and white sneakers, along with a backpack from a certain sports brand, which perfectly matched Shi Yu's image as a "male college student".
The clothes bought for Lin Fengbai were all shirts and black pants, which was also in line with Lin Fengbai's status as an assistant.
The variety of clothes purchased for Jiang Yan was quite extensive. There were a bunch of dresses, including long skirts, short skirts, midi skirts, and dresses; a bunch of pants, including capri pants, cropped pants, ripped jeans, and casual pants; a bunch of shoes, including high heels, flat shoes, and sneakers; plus two haute couture evening gowns, several sets of casual wear, several handbags to match the clothes, a set of cosmetics, and a set of skincare products... Jiang Yan's belongings alone were ten times that of everyone else combined.
Buying clothes for Gu Heng and Yang Qiwen was relatively simple.
The former were all in black suits, while the latter were all in plaid shirts in shades of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
With new clothes to change into, everyone's mood was refreshed.
However, what they didn't know was that the same thing was happening simultaneously in instances one through eight...
Chen Su's image in this instance is that of a "cool rock 'n' roll kid," so he received a bunch of motorcycle leather jackets, sequined clothes, studded boots... and even a punk wig from Manager Lu!
Store Manager Lu said emotionally, "Everyone has come from afar, you must be tired from your journey! This is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't thank me, please don't thank me!"
Shen Su: "..."
There was no intention to say thank you.
Shen Su suddenly thought that if Shi Yu saw the clothes that Lu Boyue provided for him, he would definitely laugh himself to death, right?
But it's not as funny as it sounds.
Because Shi Yu rarely smiles, and even when she does, it's not exaggerated; at most, the corners of her mouth curve upwards.
Even so, Shi Yu's smile is still very beautiful.
It was so beautiful that he wanted to lock him up.
No one is allowed to covet it.
You can't even look at it for a second.
Mu Zhuo and the other two were dressed normally, so the clothes provided to them by Manager Lu were all normal clothing.
Players from other instances (2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10) praised and thanked Manager Lu for the new clothes he provided.
"Manager Lu is so generous! Thank you, Manager Lu."
"Manager Lu is a good person; good people are rewarded!"
"We will definitely help Manager Lu go bankrupt!"
...
"You're welcome. It's all I should do. It's just a few pieces of clothing. Compared to the help you've all given me, it's nothing."
Lu Boyue stood in the crowd with a bright smile, looking completely at ease.
Only the viewers in the live stream know how tired he is.
Only the viewers in the live stream understand him.
[He bought new clothes for players in Dungeon 3, and he also wants to buy them for players in other dungeons. Shopkeeper Lu is showing no favoritism whatsoever.]
[Have you delivered to the tenth dungeon yet? You can rest soon, Manager Lu, hang in there!]
[After delivering the clothes for the tenth dungeon, I have to go to the first dungeon to have breakfast with everyone, then another round, and then another round, endlessly. Just thinking about it makes me tired. Shopkeeper Lu's perseverance is truly amazing!]
[Manager Lu: Even if I'm exhausted like a dog! Exhausted like a donkey! Exhausted to death! I will still try to keep things fair!]
Has anyone noticed that this game is a bit strange? It doesn't exploit the players, but it does exploit the NPCs?
[Can't you manage the system? How can you exploit our lively, cute, and clever NPC shopkeeper like this?]
...
After breakfast, Shi Yu and the other four moved to Lu Boyue's office to continue discussing yesterday's data.
Shi Yu took out the personnel information he had compiled the night before and showed it to everyone. Coincidentally, Gu Heng had also done his homework the night before. Gu Heng analyzed and organized some issues related to the company's finances, and the two exchanged information to look at it.
Lin Fengbai sat beside Shi Yu and watched with her.
Yang Qiwen also joined Gu Heng in watching, occasionally asking questions, which Gu Heng answered selectively.
Jiang Yan sat on another sofa, holding documents in her hand, yawning repeatedly.
If you look closely, you can see the dark circles under her eyes.
Copy 1.
The three are lying flat, waiting for the experts to analyze the plot.
The big boss was yawning repeatedly.
Mu Zhuo spent the whole night explaining to Jiang Yan.
He's not gay, he's definitely straight.
—He asked Jiang Yan to help him find out if Shi Yu had a boyfriend just to pass the level!
