Chapter 124 Crying Poor
Wen Le handed the matter over entirely to the negotiator. He didn't care about the process, as long as the outcome was favorable to him. He also didn't care what benefits the other party would gain from it. Why would they go to such great lengths to help him if there was nothing to gain? As long as it wasn't excessive and within his tolerance, it was fine.
And now his mind was elsewhere. Big Cat, who had been gone for months without a word, suddenly called him via video chat. At first, Wen Le thought it was a prank, someone trying to make fun of him. But when he confirmed it was real, he was so excited that tears almost fell. Little Heartless finally woke up and called him.
Doesn’t he know that he is worried to death?
Wen Le deliberately put on a stern face and said to Da Miao, "You little heartless boy, you still remember to call me back? I thought you had forgotten me after you left. It's really rare."
But before Big Cat could explain, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. He took a closer look at Big Cat in the video and couldn't help but frown. "Have you lost weight?" And he didn't seem to have grown any taller. Hadn't they said they'd already evolved into adults? He'd seen what an adult Winged Tiger looked like. Not to mention Big Cat's parents, even Mr. Tiger, whom he saw every day in the virtual classroom, was three meters tall. Big Cat was barely bigger than a calf at best. The difference was enormous.
His biggest concern was whether Big Cat had any underlying health issues. After all, he hadn't grown up within the tribe, and as a human, he didn't understand what was good for the cubs. Although the system was there to assist, the fact that they were not of the same species would be somewhat of a hindrance.
Hearing his owner say that he had lost weight, Big Cat happily wagged his tail and asked with shining eyes, "Really? I finally lost weight~" Then he complained to Wen Le aggrievedly, "You don't know how miserable I've been lately. I haven't been eating or sleeping well, and I have to train every day. They won't give me food if I don't complete the training tasks... Woohoo, Wen Lele, I miss you so much~ Can you pick me up after I pass the assessment~"
"Okay, okay, I will come to pick you up when you pass the test!" Wen Le's eyes were filled with tears of heartache, and he didn't notice the cunning that flashed in Da Mao's eyes.
Wen Le was so preoccupied with his heartache for Big Cat that he hadn't considered following him to find the Winged Tiger Tribe's homeland, much less how to bring him back. If Big Cat wanted to come back, it would have to be on his own. But none of that mattered now; he was simply preoccupied with his heartache. This was the child he had raised, and now, out of sight, he was suffering so much. Just the thought of it was heartbreaking.
Da Miao took the opportunity to ask Wen Le for many benefits. Wen Le was overflowing with fatherly love at this moment, so there was no reason for him to refuse. He immediately responded: "Buy, buy, buy, I'll buy them all for you."
At this moment, he would be willing to go to the sky to pick stars, not to mention just buying something. I guess he would have to wait until he realized what he had promised Big Cat before he would regret it.
After hanging up the phone, Big Cat twitched his whiskers proudly at his friend who was looking at him with admiration. "See? This is how it should be. As the saying goes, the cat that cries gets the meat. You have to learn to act like a spoiled child, especially when your parents feel you've suffered and need compensation. At this time, your requests will generally be granted."
Big Cat continued, "Of course, the prerequisite is to transform into a cub like me first, so that parents are more likely to be sympathetic." With that, he transformed back into his adult form, three or four meters tall, with a bang. "If you use your original form to complain about your grievances, you'll definitely get beaten! Look at me now. If it were you, would you feel sorry for me?"
The other person shook his head: "No!" I will want to beat you even more!
But he didn't dare say the latter sentence, for he was afraid that he would be beaten by the other party.
Big Cat had a gratified expression, as if he was a teachable child: "That's right, this is our advantage, we must seize it well."
The little friend immediately looked at Big Cat with admiration: "Boss, what you said is very good. Next time my dad beats me, I will try this."
If Wen Le were here, I wonder what he would think after hearing what Da Mao said.
Furthermore, Jin Da Miao wasn't living a hard life of starvation and sleep deprivation as Wen Le had imagined. While training was grueling, he was well cared for by a professional robot nanny afterward. He wasn't held back by physical limitations; in fact, he was a bit taller than his parents. So, he deliberately played weak to trick Wen Le into falling for him—a truly scheming act.
…
After the video call with Da Mao, Wen Le's heart finally settled down. He felt relieved to know Da Mao was alright. Now that his sanity had returned, he immediately saw through Da Mao's little tricks. He didn't want to argue with him, after all, he'd missed him after such a long separation. He was happy to buy Da Mao something, as if it were a coming-of-age gift for him.
This also led to him always having a smile on his face when meeting his friends, which made Xu Dongdong look at him sideways frequently. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? Did you pick up a treasure?" He smiled so happily.
Wen Le is in a good mood now and doesn't argue with him: "Cancan just had a video call with me and said she will come back after completing the assessment." This is the biggest good news this year.
"Hey~ That heartless guy finally got around to calling back?" Xu Dongdong raised an eyebrow. "Did he mention his brother Dong?"
Wen Le said directly: "No!"
Xu Dongdong tutted his words when he heard this: "You little heartless thing, you thought of me when you were hungry, but you never mention it at other times."
Wen Le snorted smugly, "What kind of feelings do I have for him? What kind of feelings do you have for him? Can they be the same?"
Xu Dongdong didn't want to pay attention to him, and even more didn't want to see his smug expression, so she simply turned her face away and pretended not to see it.
After chatting for a while, Wen Le got down to business. "By the way, how did your interview go?" He looked at Li Zhenzhen and asked, "Are there any results?"
"It's out," Li Zhenzhen nodded. "I passed. As for him, you should ask him." She pointed at Xu Dongdong and said, "He and I don't go to the same school, so I don't know their process." And the fat guy hadn't told her the result. She was afraid of hurting her friend's pride, so she hadn't dared to ask. Now that Wen Le had asked, it was perfect.
When asked this question, Xu Dongdong pretended to be deep and tilted her face 45 degrees, looking bright and sad: "Of course... I passed!" Then she turned her face back and winked at Wen Le, "Surprised or not?"
Wen Le: “…” He was startled!
Someone, get this idiot out of here!
Xu Dongdong didn't let him go: "Hey, hey, we agreed that if Zhenzhen and I both passed the exam, you would give each of us a celebratory gift package. Now it's time for you to make it happen."
Wen Le glanced at him and said slowly, "I did say that, but I also said the gift package had to be worth less than 100 credit points, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford it." He sighed solemnly, "I'm a student like you now. Without a source of income, my previous savings are really dwindling. Sigh, I don't know how I'm going to get by in the future."
Xu Dongdong looked down on him: "Don't give me that. Even if we die of poverty, you won't be poor." I have never heard of a three-star therapist dying of poverty. Even if he does nothing, he still has a living allowance of 30,000 yuan per month.
That's right, Wen Le's living allowance has increased again, a full six times compared to when he was at two stars. What an enviable guy! His monthly allowance is roughly the same now, and that's because his father gave him a raise out of joy after he was admitted to the Imperial Capital Mecha Academy.
Of course, his grandfather had secretly given him a lot of goodies, but he didn't give him money directly because he was afraid that Sister Xiong and Brother Xiong would accuse him of being partial, so he compromised and just gave him things. These things were more practical than giving him credit points directly, and they were worth a lot of money on the market.
The bulk of these items were mecha materials, so he didn't need to spend any extra money on them. All the pocket money Bear Dad gave him went into his pocket. Even so, he couldn't compare to Wen Le, because his living allowance was not fixed. As long as he made sufficient contributions to the Healer Association, his benefits would continue to increase, and a living allowance increase was the most basic.
Not to mention he will upgrade again in the future.
Thinking about it this way, the little friend is so rich, and he dares to cry poor in front of him! Even if he cries poor, he can't avoid his determination to eat the rich!
This time he must choose something more expensive as a gift. He won't even look at anything under a hundred thousand. Don't try to fool him with cheap things, humph!
Lily also fanned the flames: "He is going to sell a prescription recently. If the deal is successful, he can make a lot of money, so much money that you can't imagine." So go ahead and beat the rich man, and it would be better to take her along, so that it would be even more perfect.
Wen Le hadn't had time to tell Li Zhenzhen and Xu Dongdong about his plan to sell the prescription, but when they heard the news, they looked surprised. It was as if they had already guessed this day would come.
They'd known this day would come ever since Wen Le had used anesthetics to knock out the Zerg. Wen Le himself might not have realized it, but those who knew the value of those potions knew how valuable they were. If they worked on other Zerg, it would save everyone a lot of trouble. It could even save many soldiers, allowing many families to reunite.
Wen Le didn't know what he had accomplished, but they could guess that his name would probably be written in history books in the future.
This is definitely a good thing that will be recorded in history!
Xu Dongdong immediately said: "It's a treat! Such a good thing must be treated! Let's go to a seven-star restaurant~"
