Olloy was furious.
In the past, no matter where he went, everyone tried their best to make him stay longer. No matter how arrogant their attitude was, those people would still flatter him against their will. After all, no one could resist the huge benefits and advantages brought by a "European Emperor".
But what happened to this guy Ke Jin? He clearly knew how strong his "ability" was, but he was still busy making preparations for his departure in advance?
Why?!
Even when Bai Fan left (he was only away for half a year!), this guy was so reluctant to let him go. Why is it that he is completely different when it comes to me? Am I, the dignified Fourth Prince, not even as good as a commoner card master? !
Ouloi was so angry that he ignored Ke Jin for the whole afternoon. He had no appetite for dinner at night. He just took a few bites and went back to the bedroom.
"What's wrong with this kid?" Qi looked at the boy strangely and turned to look at Ke Jin.
Ke Jin sighed helplessly and gave a brief account of what happened in the afternoon - Qi also knew that Ounuo was staying here temporarily, and Ke Jin had nothing to hide from him.
After listening to this, Qi let out a long "Oh", his eyes flickered slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face: "I see... I guess he was so happy to hear that he could go home, but he is not good at expressing gratitude, so he behaved so awkwardly. Haha, Xiaojin, you don't have to worry too much."
Ke Jin glared at Qi speechlessly. He was not stupid, so how could he not hear Qi's gloating? Besides, Qi and Ounuo had been disliking each other for a long time, and they usually listened to each other's comments in the opposite way, so -
"Is he angry because I told him to go home?" Ke Jin thought.
At night, Qi went to sleep on the floor in the living room as usual. After Ke Jin finished washing up, he returned to the bedroom and saw Ou Nuo had changed into pajamas and was lying on the bed, but he had rolled to the innermost part of the bed, with his back to him angrily.
Ke Jin rubbed his temples, climbed onto the bed and patted the boy's shoulder.
"Ounuo, are you still angry?"
The other party's tone was as if he had taken fire/powder: "No!"
This kid is quite arrogant...
Ke Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he simply sat down cross-legged beside him - it is said that the worst thing to do after a quarrel is to let grudges remain overnight, and he didn't intend to let such a small matter drag on until tomorrow.
"If you don't want to go back, then you can continue to live here." Ke Jin took the initiative to give the other party a way out. "I have no objection and I welcome you very much."
"It's too late!" The boy's voice was still angry, "I'm leaving tomorrow!"
Ke Jin almost laughed, but still spoke seriously.
"But didn't we agree to go to the exhibition together at noon tomorrow?" he said, "You want to break the promise?"
“…”
"…Then I'll leave the day after tomorrow."
"I plan to make cherry meat for dinner the day after tomorrow. Haven't you been clamoring for it?" Ke Jin said with a smile, "You won't be able to eat it if you leave."
“…”
"I don't have any special plans for the day after tomorrow," Ke Jin stroked his chin and said slowly, "but if you leave then, Qi will definitely be very happy, because his bet with you will automatically be void. He will probably suggest going out with me to celebrate."
“…………”
After a while, the boy finally turned around. But he still seemed very dissatisfied and stared at Ke Jin without saying a word.
Knowing that this "game" had reached the most critical moment, Ke Jin took a deep breath and met the boy's gaze calmly.
"Ounuo, I will never ask you to go home again." Ke Jin tried to make his voice sincere. "If you want, you can stay here forever. Of course, even if you leave on your own initiative in the future, my door will always be open to you whenever you want to come back."
The boy's eyes flickered and his expression visibly softened, but soon his gaze became sharp again.
"You won't say that to everyone, will you?" He looked very worried and pointed to the living room, "Like the one outside?"
Ke Jin: “…”
Is there a limit to this? It's not like a vow of love can only be made one-on-one. Is it necessary to be so serious?
"No, no." Seeing the other party's eyes become fierce again, Ke Jin hurriedly said, "You are the only one. You are the only one who deserves this treatment!"
In order to completely dispel the other party's doubts, Ke Jin simply stretched out his little finger and shook it: "We can make a pinky promise as proof!"
Oloy: “…”
Oloy: "Are you trying to coax me into a child? I told you not to treat me like a child!! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻"
Ke Jin didn't expect the opposite effect, and hurriedly tried to save face: "No, in my hometown, this... this is a very solemn way of making an appointment!"
"Really?" Oloy stared at Ke Jin suspiciously.
Ke Jin nodded quickly and desperately: "Really, really."
The boy stared at him for a long time, but finally hesitantly reached out his hand and gently hooked it with Ke Jin.
"Since you've begged me so much... I'll give you some face, hum."
The "agreement" was reached, and Ou Nuo's expression instantly became satisfied and happy. He happily covered himself with a blanket and went to sleep, while Ke Jin patted his chest with lingering fear.
Phew, I finally made this little ancestor happy... I admire myself more and more, and I feel like I won’t be afraid of opening a kindergarten for naughty kids in the future!
The next morning, Qi saw Ounuo and Ke Jin talking and laughing again.
Qi, as a Ka Ling, had excellent hearing. Ke Jin didn't have the habit of closing the bedroom door, so Qi, who slept in the living room, naturally heard the conversation between the two of them last night clearly. Now seeing Ounuo's proud look, he was speechless.
Isn't it just a "permanent residence permit"? What is this brat showing off for?

Busy days always pass quickly, and five days later, the lively autumn festival finally came to an end.
On the second day after the Autumn Festival ended, the Card Pool Bureau organized a special gathering for the card users of Qixing City. In name, it was to "summarize experience", but in reality it was almost like a celebration banquet.
When Ke Jin walked into the venue, almost all the card users came up to greet him enthusiastically. This "Autumn Festival Exhibition" brought many benefits to every card user in Qixing City. For example, Gu Qianqian's sales in the past five days can catch up with the sales in the past three months. While benefiting from this, the card users will naturally not forget who brought them this gratifying harvest - if Ke Jin's card pool had not attracted a large number of tourists, this exhibition would not have been successfully held.
Ke Jin himself also benefited greatly in these five days. Bai Fan's words "a daily income of one million is not a problem" really came true. Ke Jin now has more than four million star coins in his savings crystal card, and the crystal sand pool in the card pool has also accumulated a huge amount of energy, which is enough to add another card drawing area.
And the good news doesn’t end there.
After the rally, Director Tai Zhaoji specifically found Ke Jin and revealed that the mayor had agreed to a plan jointly submitted by him and Chairman Sun, and would increase the construction of Dadas Town, especially the mountain road leading to Ke Jin Kachi, to ensure that vehicles can enter and exit unimpeded.
This kind of municipal planning involving infrastructure often requires a large amount of money. The fact that the government can do this shows how much importance it attaches to the Ke Jin Ka Chi. According to Director Tai, when formulating the budget after the New Year, the mayor also intends to increase the investment of support funds in order to encourage Ke Jin Ka Chi to expand its scale and better receive visitors.
Just after Director Tai finished explaining the government's series of measures, Ke Jin's brain system made a "ding" sound, reminding him that the task of "achieving the influence index achievement" had been completed. Ke Jin remembered that when he checked last night, he was still 1,000 points away from the target. Now it was completed in an instant?
However, after thinking about the news revealed by Director Tai, Ke Jin felt relieved - perhaps this is the real meaning of the "influence index". It is not just a simple popularity or reputation, but a real influence on the people in a region; it can even affect the government's decision-making, and it is also about how many people are willing to lend a helping hand to you without hesitation because of your "influence" when you need help.

After returning, Ke Jin quickly entered the card pool and submitted the task to the system.
Because the task was completed one and a half months ahead of schedule, the system gave a very generous reward this time:
1. Five new full sets of card making recipes have been added to the two existing snack categories, "candy" and "cakes".
2. Unlock a new snack category - "Cold Drinks", and get a set of three cold drink cards, including: Milk Ice Cream Cone, Chocolate Sundae, and Red Bean Shaved Ice.
3. Open the "System Mall" function, and use the card pool points to purchase the required products in the mall. (Special note: The accumulation of card pool points comes from the daily operation of the card pool, including but not limited to: the number of card draws, the amount of card draws, the probability of high-star card draws, the card pool level upgrade, the influence index growth, etc.)
Among all the rewards, Ke Jin was very interested in the last item, "System Mall". After he exited the reward page, he found that the card pool points icon appeared in the upper right corner of the system homepage, and the current total was "2764 points". Next to the points icon was a small blue mall icon. After clicking it, you can see a variety of product categories, including new card recipes, a function that increases the probability of drawing cards for a limited time, and props that help speed up the filling of card quicksand bottles, etc.
However, these product categories are not fixed, but refreshed every three days. Ke Jin roughly browsed the current product list, and did not find anything he urgently needed, so he exited the mall page.
After returning to the homepage, as expected, the system began to issue new tasks, but this time the other party did not
[Congratulations to the host for your hard work and efforts during this period. Your card pool has been successfully upgraded to level 5. The current rating is: it has taken shape and has gained some fame. Are you ready to accept new challenges and start new tasks in the next stage? ]
Can I still say no... Ke Jin thought with amusement.
"I'm ready." Ke Jin replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ke Jin's eyes suddenly lit up, and a glittering electronic map slowly unfolded in front of him - the map initially showed the entire Qixing City, then it transformed into the entire Chikong Continent, and finally, after changing dramatically, it directly evolved into a panoramic map of the seven continents of the entire Azure Star.
[New mission released: Within one year, expand your card pool to at least thirty card pool branches within the Blue Star. (Note: There must be at least one card pool branch in each of the seven continents of the Blue Star)]
Ke Jin gasped - the time limit for completing the task was suddenly changed to "years", and the geographical scope even covered the entire planet. Compared with this new task, the ones he had done in the early stage were actually novice tasks! However...
Ke Jin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his black eyes flashing with excitement.
It's finally here——
The first step towards "opening card pools across the universe" is finally about to be taken!
