Chapter 54 Platinum Joy Supermarket [Are you sure you're in a relationship?]...
The "blessing" note disappeared from Shi Yu's hand and then appeared in Shi Yu's inventory.
Item Name: [Manager Lu's Blessing (Unsealed)]
Item Description: This is a blessing from Manager Lu, the boss of the Platinum Supermarket dungeon. Players need to find Manager Lu's sealed soul and unseal it to unlock the blessing.
Item function: To be unlocked.
Attack method: None.
At the same time, Shi Yu noticed that his inventory was being constantly filled. His few inventory slots were automatically expanding and then being filled with unknown items.
One row, two rows, three rows... the inventory slots, which had been expanded to more than a dozen rows, were completely filled with items, and a hasty count revealed that there were more than a hundred items.
The items were intelligently categorized automatically: attack, defense, consumables, etc., like a small shop window, dazzling Shi Yu.
Shi Yu quickly realized that these were all Mu Zhuo's props. Mu Zhuo was dead, and somehow these props had automatically become his.
Although Shi Yu didn't like Mu Zhuo.
However, Shi Yu still quite liked Mu Zhuo's props.
Since it's already in his inventory, he'll accept it without hesitation and share half with Shen Su when he gets back.
After quickly scanning through the dazzling array of props, Shi Yu turned her attention back to the description of the prop [Manager Lu's Blessing].
The "Manager Lu" mentioned here must be the real BOSS Lu Boyue in the dungeon, not Lu Boyue disguised as Qin Ke. So, is Lu Boyue's soul sealed because Qin Ke has been using Lu Boyue's body and identity in this dungeon?
This explanation also makes sense.
So where is he going to find Lu Boyue's sealed soul now?
How will the lockdown be lifted?
Shi Yu thought for a moment, then a flash of inspiration struck him. He opened his inventory and searched around, finding an item called [Thousand-Mile Tracking]. The item description said it could track the exact coordinates of a target person in the same space.
Shi Yu typed in the name Lu Boyue, and a white arrow appeared on the ground ahead.
He followed the arrows, passing through a thick white fog, and arrived at a villa. He continued to follow the arrows into the villa, went down to the second basement level, and finally saw a person hanging from the center of the ceiling in the last room of the corridor, with his wrists chained together.
No, to be precise, it wasn't a person, but a semi-transparent soul.
His appearance and physique are exactly the same as Lu Boyue, played by Qin Ke.
He was asleep.
Does unsealing the soul mean waking up Lu Boyue?
Shi Yu stepped forward and gently touched Lu Boyue. The moment he touched Lu Boyue's clothes, many fragments that did not belong to him flashed through Shi Yu's mind.
In the summer river, the little boy struggled desperately to get ashore, only to be kicked back again and again by a group of older boys on the bank. After finally managing to climb ashore, he was drenched in urine...
In winter, at the school fountain, boys would take off their shoes, roll up their trousers, and fish out their torn backpacks and soaked books from the ice-covered water...
Overturned lunchboxes, crushed candies...
One bullying incident after another appeared clearly in Shi Yu's mind.
These are all things Lu Boyue has experienced?
Isn't Lu Boyue a rich second-generation? Isn't he an only child? Why did he have such a miserable childhood?
Shi Yu was puzzled, but what appeared in his mind were fragments, illogical and incoherent, and he could not find the answer from these fragments.
After all the scenes played through Shi Yu's mind, Shi Yu found that he could move again. Then, he found himself in the first scene, and he was only about ten years old.
The little boy had already climbed out of the river, and several older boys had finished peeing on him. They waved to Shi Yu and said generously, "Come on over! Let's play together, haha! He's just a dog! He likes the smell, hahahahaha!"
Everyone laughed, their cheerful voices laced with malice.
Xiao Lu Boyue's face and lips were deathly pale, only his eyes were red. He looked up at Shi Yu, his expression no different from when he looked at other bullies.
Shi Yu walked up to the bully in charge and, without saying a word, kicked him cleanly and decisively. The man screamed and rolled on the ground, clutching his groin and howling in pain.
Without any hesitation, Shi Yu asked, "Who else wants to stop the itching?"
He is only ten years old.
Children don't need to be taught martial virtues.
Everyone covered their groins and ran away as fast as they could.
Xiao Lu Boyue stared at him with wide eyes. Shi Yu took off his coat and covered Xiao Lu Boyue with it before turning and leaving.
The scene changes, and Lu Boyue, wearing a junior high school uniform, is retrieving books one by one from a fountain in winter, while Shi Yu has also grown up a bit.
After Xiao Lu Boyue finished retrieving all the books and was drying them on a nearby bench, Shi Yu went over and handed her a cup of hot milk tea, saying, "Everyone's life is fair. The suffering you are experiencing now will surely bring you corresponding rewards in the future. Your future life will definitely be very good."
That's true.
Although it's unclear why Lu Boyue was bullied as a child, she later opened a supermarket and is doing quite well.
Xiao Lu Boyue's hands were red from the cold. He took the milk tea with both hands, thanked him, took a sip, and said, "I've seen you before. When I was little, you gave me a piece of clothing..." Perhaps because it was too cold, his voice trembled slightly, "I've been looking for you, wanting to return your clothes, but I haven't been able to find them..."
"No need to return it," Shi Yu said. "I can't wear that dress now anyway."
The two seemed to have nothing to talk about. Shi Yu was in a hurry to finish his mission and got up to leave, but Xiao Lu Boyue grabbed his sleeve, looked up and asked, "Can you tell me your name?"
Shi Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't live here, and we probably won't see each other again."
Several more scenes followed, all involving Lu Boyue being bullied, Shi Yu helping out, and then leaving.
However, none of them intended to unseal Lu Boyue's soul.
The next scene is on the top floor of the building.
As an adult, Lu Boyue stood on the edge of the rooftop. Dark clouds hung low overhead, and the wind was strong, making Lu Boyue's body sway precariously, as if she would fall off at any moment.
I wonder what happened this time?
Lu Boyue actually wanted to commit suicide.
Shi Yu hesitated whether to step forward and stop it.
He has helped Lu Boyue so many times, but he still hasn't been able to unseal Lu Boyue's soul. So, could it be that letting Lu Boyue jump down would actually unseal it?
Because if a person is dreaming, they will usually wake up if they jump from a high place.
Lu Boyue noticed him, turned around and looked at him, her voice very soft, as if greeting an old friend: "You've come?"
As Lu Boyue turned around, Shi Yu heard a jingling sound. It was at this moment that Shi Yu realized that Lu Boyue was not trying to commit suicide. A chain was locked around his left ankle, with the other end of the chain connected to the outside of the rooftop.
Someone wants Lu Boyue dead.
"Don't move."
Shi Yu's face darkened. As he spoke, he pulled an axe from his inventory, walked over, and swiftly chopped the chain in less than a minute.
Lu Boyue was completely stunned: "You just... an axe? Am I seeing things? Or can you do magic?"
Shi Yu held the axe in his hand, frowning slightly as he looked at the unchanged scene.
Still no lockdown?
This can't go on. Shen Su must be looking for him everywhere. He needs to get out of here quickly.
Lu Boyue had already seen him conjure an axe out of thin air, so he decided not to hide it anymore and said, "Actually, I'm not from here. I came here to do a mission, and the mission is to awaken you."
Sincerity has always been a sure-fire weapon, and Lu Boyue was indeed moved to tears after hearing this, her voice trembling slightly: "Why did you tell me? Why did you let me know you came with a mission? Don't tell me, I don't want to know..."
"You said you wanted to wake me up? I don't know how I can wake up, but just now a voice in my head told me that it would end if I jumped down. Do you want me to jump down?"
Lu Boyue stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the person in front of her.
A person who comes to him with a purpose will inevitably want him to jump in order to achieve that purpose.
Shi Yu also walked to the edge of the rooftop, looked down, and asked him, "Really?"
"Really." Lu Boyue smiled wryly.
The person will definitely yell at him to jump the next second, right?
Indeed, there is no one in this world who is genuinely kind to him without any ulterior motives.
Lu Boyue's bitter smile was still on her face.
The next second, Shi Yu jumped off the rooftop.
Lu Boyue: "?"
Lu Boyue: "!!!"
Not only was Lu Boyue stunned, but the entire live stream was completely taken aback by Shi Yu's actions.
【Aaaaaaah, honey, what are you doing?! Even though the chances of dying are low, what if you really do die?!】
[I thought Shi Yu was going to make Lu Boyue jump, and I thought Lu Boyue thought the same thing, but he jumped himself? He just jumped by himself??? This isn't how it went in my expectations!]
[Lu Boyue was completely dumbfounded. Unexpected, right? Surprised? You never thought of this, hahaha!!!]
My wife is usually so quiet and reserved, and suddenly she gave me such a big... Honey, please don't do this again, my heart can't take it, sob sob!
[This method has proven simple, direct, but effective; look, Lu Boyue has woken up!]
[Lu Boyue: Thank you so much for letting me experience what it's like to wake up from a nightmare.]
...
After a dizzying spin, Shi Yu opened his eyes again and found himself back in the room that held Lu Boyue's soul.
The soul that had been chained in front of him materialized, and Lu Boyue opened his eyes. The chains binding his wrists also unlocked automatically.
Lu Boyue seems to be alright, but the way she looks at Shi Yu seems to be...resentful?
"Are you alright?" Shi Yu asked.
"It's nothing." Lu Boyue's voice was a little hoarse, and she avoided his gaze after speaking.
Shi Yu nodded: "Then I'm leaving."
Shi Yu returned the way he came. After leaving the villa, he opened the game panel and saw that [Manager Lu's Blessing] had changed from "Unlocked" to "Unlocked".
He clicked to activate the blessing, and three options popped up on the screen:
Option 1: A pet from Manager Lu, the boss of the "Platinum Supermarket" instance.
Option 2: Unlimited Shopping Vouchers (can be used for unlimited shopping in any copy, with no upper limit on the amount)
Option 3: Team Clearance Ticket (Can accommodate up to 10 people for immediate clearing of the level; 1 use)
Shi Yu looked at them one by one.
A spirit pet? He already has Lin Fengbai, so he doesn't need a spirit pet. He's somewhat tempted by the unlimited shopping vouchers, but...
Finally, Shi Yu selected the third option.
Shi Yu wandered around the hidden dungeon without finding a way out, but he found a [Heart-to-Heart Teleportation Talisman] in his items. Using it would instantly teleport him to the target character's side, with no limit on the number of uses.
It has to be said that Mu Zhuo's props are really diverse.
Although Mu Zhuoren is dead.
But his contributions remain and will not be wasted.
Shi Yu entered Shen Su's name into the [Heart-to-Heart Teleportation Talisman].
[System notification: You and player Chen Su are not currently in a romantic relationship. Do you wish to confirm your relationship?]
【whether】
Shi Yu was in a hurry to go out.
He clicked yes without hesitation.
I didn't read the message carefully.
