Chapter 033 New Skills
There is more to the Tono family.
The original owner's branch was the eldest wife. His father had two brothers and a sister, and each family's story was more dramatic than the other.
My second uncle, Dongye Langren, lived up to his name, a natural wanderer. He remains unmarried, but he already has five children! It's said that several more remain with their biological mothers.
After bringing the child home, he neglected her, spending his days out playing with other women, switching partners constantly; the longest one lasted only a month. His frequent changes even earned him a stable of paparazzi, who watched them film him daily. The women's vying for attention and fighting for position provided plenty of entertainment for netizens.
The third aunt, Dong Ye Man, is also a fascinating character. As the eldest daughter of the Dong Ye family at that time, she did not choose to marry a well-matched young man, but chose a gigolo!
It truly shocked the nation at the time. Their love story, whenever it was released, easily garnered over 10 million views, becoming a viral hit for tabloids.
The main role of this uncle-in-law is probably to provide emotional value. Because Higashino Man has a bad temper, paparazzi have repeatedly captured videos of her throwing tantrums and throwing things, and only the uncle-in-law can calm her down without changing his expression.
The couple only had one daughter. It was said that the third uncle could not bear to let his wife go through the pain of pregnancy again.
When Dong Yexi saw this, he was confused: What's going on? Did he write this report himself? Otherwise, how would you know about it? Or maybe San Gu herself didn't want to have a child!
In comparison, the love life of the fourth uncle Dong Yetao is not so dramatic. But he is following the script of the youngest son fighting for the family inheritance, but he is not competing with his eldest brother, but with his eldest brother's son!
As the late-born son of Grandpa Dongye, who was over sixty years old, he was thirty years younger than the eldest brother, Dongye Hai. He was now thirty-two years old, the same age as the original owner's eldest brother!
Grandpa Dongye died seven years ago when he was only 25, at a time when the internal strife within the group was at its most intense. Dongye Hai, the group's head at the time, was willing to delegate power, but he simply sat back and watched the fight unfold, offering no support to his eldest son.
In the end, Dong Yexu relied on his outstanding abilities and the help of outsiders to secure the position of president.
However, Dong Yetao was unwilling to work under his nephew, so he left the group and set up his own business under the care of the boss Dong Yehai.
When Dong Yexi saw this, he was full of questions again.
Did the original owner's father have a grudge against his eldest son? Not only did he not help his own child, but he also helped the elders who bullied his son.
You, as the big brother, have done a really great job, haven’t you?
Dong Yexi couldn't help but let his thoughts wander. According to the level of drama in the world of science, the eldest and the fourth child were thirty years apart. Maybe they were actually father and son!
Damn, if you think about it carefully, it’s not impossible! Is there not enough stepmother literature in Ming Ke?
After reading most of the news reports and gossip tabloids, Dong Yexi finally understood.
To summarize the stories of each member of the Higashino family in one sentence, it is: Higashino Kai - the struggle history of a generation of medical giants, Higashino Lang - the legend of a modern harem, who can conquer a generation of playboys and successfully ascend to the throne, Higashino Man - the forbidden love between the eldest lady and the gigolo, Higashino Tao - the comeback of the loser, Higashino Xu - how the domineering president was made, Higashino Teru - on how the son of the mistress succeeded in ascending to the throne.
Among them, Higashino Hiroshi is the transparent second in command.
He was just a background figure in any gossip, appearing only in the Tono family's profile section, without even a photo.
So no one around knew the identity of the original owner.
However, there was no contact information of any family members in the original owner's mobile phone, and there were no items related to relatives in the apartment. This was also an important reason why he ignored the original owner's family background.
He believed his identity was fabricated by the system. The "Sea King" label was merely a gimmick created by the system to increase his mortality rate, as he hadn't come across any evidence that the original owner was a promiscuous person.
Even in the first case, the suspect's motives were all self-imagination. Since then, no one has come forward to claim they had a relationship dispute with the original owner.
Higashino originally thought it was because he changed the [Aquaman] label, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Putting aside the issue of identity, he also drew other incredible things.
First, there are two skill cards - [Bomb Disposal Expert] and [Surgeon Master]. The former is an advanced card, and the latter is a special card, namely SR and SSR.
After seeing "Bomb Disposal Expert", Higashino Xi understood that the level of subsequent cases would probably be increased, perhaps to the level of a theatrical version of "Explosion Case".
The [Surgeon's Master] is interesting. This skill has usage restrictions, which state: This skill only affects others, lasts for 5 hours, and has a cooldown of 48 hours.
This is the second medical skill that Dong Yexi has drawn, and judging from the name, as long as he uses this skill, the opponent will most likely survive. This is a nurse skill!
This may indicate that he will later encounter a time when he needs to rescue others.
Four labels were drawn: [Social Expert], [Hermaphrodite], [Invisible Person], and [Nice Guy].
Compared to the ones I drew before, this time the labels all focus on character, and they are four completely different types of people.
There are three physical characteristics: [as cold as ice], [unattractive appearance] and [graceful manner].
None of these three adjectives appear scary on the surface, but he tried them one by one, and each description was worth pondering.
"As cold as ice (anyone who gets close to you will be frozen into ice chips, are you an ice maker)", "Ugly-looking (when you walk in a crowd, no one wants to look at you)", "Graceful and graceful (you are graceful and well-mannered, and look decent in any occasion)".
Think about the [Immortal Items] that come with their own luminous special effects; these descriptions may have deeper meanings.
Then all the columns unlocked an empty space, so he had more options.

As soon as Hatori Yui returned home, he received a call from Gin.
He frowned and stared at the phone, and it rang for a long time before he pressed the answer button.
On the other end of the phone, Gin's dissatisfied voice came: "What are you doing? Why did you take so long to answer the phone?"
Hatori Yuiichi said casually, "I just didn't notice. What's the matter?"
Gin didn't insist and just gave an address, asking Hatori Yui to come there immediately, regardless of whether he was free or not, and then hung up the phone.
Hatori sighed helplessly.
Gin didn't give him a chance to refuse, so he could only take the copied information and go to a bar as requested.
There weren't many customers in the dimly lit bar.
Vermouth, who was sitting at the bar, saw Hatori Yui come in, and her face immediately fell. She turned around and questioned Gin: "Did you ask him to come?!"
Gin glanced at her and said lazily, "Yeah."
Vermouth gritted her teeth and whispered, "Don't you know what this base is for? He's the only one who doesn't have a code name, so he's not qualified to come here!"
Gin took a sip from his glass and said, "It doesn't matter. He won't betray the organization anyway. Besides, no matter who he is, since he is a member of the organization, he must contribute when necessary."
Vermouth frowned: "What kind of help?"
At this time, Hatori Yui had walked behind them, took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, handed it to Gin, and said, "Mission accomplished."
Vermouth looked at him in surprise.
Gin smiled and took it. "It was completed so quickly, that's quite impressive." He turned his head to look at Vermouth. "Is it beyond your expectations?"
Vermouth rolled her eyes at him.
Hatori Yuiichi said, "Since the mission has been completed, I will go back. Don't ask me to do this kind of thing again in the future!" After that, he turned around and was about to leave.
But Gin said: "That won't work. A new mission has come."
Hatori Yui turned to look at him and said seriously, "I'm not one of you, I don't have to do these things!"
"As long as the organization needs you, you have to do it." Gin put down the wine glass in his hand and said to himself, "The medical laboratory under the Dongye Group has recently made a new technological breakthrough. The organization needs this result. You find a way to steal it."
Hatori Yuiichi's brows twitched slightly: "Dongye Group?"
Gin smiled wickedly: "The Dongye Xi you know is the second son of the Dongye Group. Since you completed the task so quickly, it means that you are already very familiar with him. This task should be easy to complete."
Hatori Yui refused, "I'm not familiar with him. The mission was completed by accident."
Gin winked at the bartender, who took out a remote and pressed it, and a screen descended from the wall. He handed the remote to Gin, who pressed it, and a video was projected onto the screen.
This is a clip captured by the media of the bank robbery at noon, showing the process of the police subduing the robbers.
The video played for a short while, Gin paused it, and a group of people looked at him in confusion.
Gin rewound the image, slowed it down, took out his infrared pen, circled the upper left corner, and said, "Look here."
The scene played again, and everyone stared at this corner. Hatori Yuichi's pupils suddenly shrank.
This shot actually captured the scene of Higashino Xi hugging him!
Fortunately, the camera turned quickly and only captured Dong Yexi throwing himself into his arms, but did not capture him reaching out to hug back.
The atmosphere at the scene became solemn.
Vodka glanced at Gin secretly, and was filled with admiration: Big brother was able to tell who it was from such a long distance and in such a short time, his eyesight is so good!
Vermouth glanced at Hatori Yuiichi, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
Hatori Yui said calmly, "You saw it too. He was the one who pounced on me. I can't just dodge away, right? Otherwise, how can I complete the mission?"
"You have a good idea." Gin teased, "It seems that this second young master is very satisfied with you."
Hatori Yuiichi frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I heard he likes men," Gin said. "Judging from his behavior, he seems to have a crush on you. You can use this to your advantage, make him like you, and then use him to infiltrate the Tono Group."
Hatori Yui gritted her teeth and said, "I don't like men!"
Gin glanced at him and said, "What's wrong with making some sacrifices for the organization?" He looked Hatori Yui up and down and said, "You only have good looks."
Hatori Yuiichi was so angry that he fell backwards.
Vermouth couldn't help but roll her eyes again and said, "How can you force sexual orientation?!"
Gin looked at her and said, "I'm not asking him to really talk, he's just acting."
Vermouth was so angry that he laughed: "Then why don't you go?"
Gin shot her a cold look.
"Anyway, Higashino Xi is a breakthrough." Gin looked at Hatori Yuiichi, "If you don't go, I can arrange someone else. Bourbon is also good-looking, he might be able to do it."
Vermouth held her forehead speechlessly.
Is this the mindset of a straight man? As long as someone likes a man, he thinks anyone is fine?
She couldn't help but sneer, "Then why don't you go yourself? I think you're more popular than Bourbon in the eyes of men."
Gin glanced at her and said coldly: "I can't get hard with men."
Vermouth: ...Didn't you just say it was just an act? Why are you almost at the point of sacrificing yourself?
