Chapter 34: The Lucky King 1 The Lucky King
[Settlement completed, system judgment result: A+, 80,000 points have been issued.]
[Mission completed, leaving the world...]
...
August, the height of summer.
The scorching sun shone into the house, making the small room even more stuffy. It was unbearable to stay there for just three minutes.
The somewhat old three-blade fan in the room was running, making a squeaking noise from time to time, but it did not wake up the boy in the bed.
The hot sunlight gradually spread to the bed, shining the boy's white legs. His brows were unconsciously frowned because of the scorching temperature.
Her pretty face was rosy with sleep, and her crow-feather-like eyelashes trembled slowly, as if she would wake up in the next second.
[A new world has opened, the story is loading...]
The cold mechanical sound in his head woke Wu Lan up. He opened his eyes and looked around at the unfamiliar environment in confusion, unable to tell whether it was a dream or reality.
Lian Shuo, the son of destiny in the new world, would one day become the head of the Lian family, a family worth hundreds of billions. His ruthless tactics were well-known in the business world. But back then, he rebelled and ran away from home, renting an apartment and wasting his days playing games.
After a series of misfortunes, he finally returned to the Lian family and joined the company to take over the family business. After a series of intrigues and strife, he eventually became a formidable figure in the business world and brought the Lian family to new heights.
[Cannon fodder identity: Wu Lan, the landlord is forced to pay for the "Child of Luck" incident. She loves to take advantage of small opportunities and her favorite thing to do on weekdays is to go to various shopping malls to get free raffles.]
[This mission: Encourage Lian Shuo to return to the Lian family.]
After 2720 finished reporting the plot and tasks, he saw Wu Lan silently get up from the bed, sit in front of the electric fan, and turn up the fan speed.
I poked it with my fingers many times, but the fan could only stay in medium gear.
Wu Lan frowned, feeling extremely hot.
2720【All other gears of this fan are broken, only the medium gear works.】
Hearing this, Wu Lan pursed her lips, her eyes quickly fixed on the air conditioner on the wall, and she immediately lowered her head to look for the remote control.
2720 coughed lightly, "The air conditioner is broken too, no need to look for it."
These words hit Wu Lan hard. He sat back down in front of the fan, looking sad. "Why are all these appliances broken?"
[Because the original owner was an extremely stingy and frugal person, he wouldn't repair things when they broke, and would just keep using them.]
At this point, 2720 reminded, "In this world, you must follow the character of being thrifty and cheap, and you can't be OOC."
Wu Lan nodded and asked again, "Am I very poor in this world?"
[Not poor.] 2720 said, [On the contrary, you love saving money and have accumulated quite a bit of savings, but you spend every penny very frugally, making you a notorious penny-pincher.]
[By the way, this house was lent to you by the wealthy businessman who once funded your education. After you lost your job and your source of income, you rented a room to Lian Shuo, and you live off the rent every month.]
2720 looked at Wu Lan's bewildered expression and continued, "Your mission this time isn't difficult. You just need to maintain your character and get Lian Shuo back home. Once Lian Shuo returns home, there will be no more plot related to you."
Now, Wu Lan roughly understood.
But his focus now was not on the mission. He felt that he was getting too hot, and his clothes were sticking to his skin due to sweat, which was very uncomfortable.
2720【Go take a shower and cool down.】
Wu Lan thought this was a good suggestion. He grabbed a T-shirt from the closet and hurried out of the room holding a towel.
There was no one in the living room and it was quiet all around.
After finding the bathroom, Wu Lan piled the things in her arms on the shelf, turned on the shower and lowered the water temperature.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Suddenly, another tightly closed door in the house opened.
A tall young man with headphones hanging around his neck came out of the air-conditioned room. He walked slowly to the refrigerator to get a Coke. When he returned to the room, he noticed that the bathroom was being used.
Lian Shuo glanced casually and then looked away, but before he could lift his feet, he suddenly smelled something and looked towards the bathroom again.
The person inside was a careless person and the bathroom door was not closed. Warm and cool water vapor mixed with a refreshing mint scent wafted out from the gap, and the mint scent had a pleasant sweetness to it.
Lian Shuo had never smelled this fragrance before. After inhaling it into his nose, the fragrance filled his entire brain and his mind was immediately attracted by it.
He drank the Coke in big gulps, and the sudden dry mouth was finally relieved.
Lian Shuo looked solemnly at the gap from which mist and fragrance continued to float, pursed his lips into a straight line, and almost crushed the Coke bottle in his hand.
The cool water feels so comfortable on my body.
Wu Lan carefully rinsed off the foam on his body. Just when he was about to rinse his back, he suddenly heard a loud door closing outside, which scared him so much that he trembled reflexively.
After coming out of the shower, he leaned out and looked cautiously at the closed door.
Through the door, you can faintly hear the sound of game sounds and the typing of the keyboard.
After observing for a minute, Wu Lan came out, opened the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, and sat on the sofa.
There is a small wind chime hanging on the balcony, and a few breezes make the wind chime ring.
A light pink towel was draped over her wet head. While wiping her hair, Wu Lan picked up the plastic fan on the sofa and fanned herself towards the balcony.
After taking a shower, I feel refreshed.
Wu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and thought it would be better if the wind coming in from outside was stronger.
He continued fanning himself as he looked around the living room.
The interior design tends to be simple in style. In addition to a plain fabric sofa, the living room also has a small white coffee table.
The kitchen is an open-plan design with a rectangular dining table next to it, piled with a lot of miscellaneous things.
The overall space is not small, but because the cabinets are filled with things and there are several cardboard boxes on the floor, the room becomes very crowded.
Wu Lan was staring at the cardboard boxes in a daze, her eyes wandering.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
[System, how did I end up in this world after sleeping? ]
2720 thought Wu Lan had finally remembered to ask, "After you fell asleep last night, the terminal transmitted the settlement results, and then immediately left the world."
Wu Lan suddenly said "Oh" and asked again, "What will happen to that world after I leave?"
2720 [Due to significant deviations from the original plot, the previous world has been temporarily blocked. It will be unblocked once the issues are corrected. However, subsequent plot developments have no bearing on your mission; the system will only determine your mission performance.]
That's pretty humane.
Tired of fanning herself with her arms, Wu Lan changed hands, threw the wet towel on the low table, and then lazily lay on the sofa.
He was wearing a loose T-shirt and underwear. His pants got wet accidentally while taking a shower. Thinking that the T-shirt was too big, he was too lazy to put on his pants.
Now lying like this, the hem of her clothes that originally covered her buttocks has been pulled down to her waist. Her blue and white striped panties are tightly wrapped around her round and tender white buttocks. Her legs are together and her calves are raised leisurely.
Sometimes 2720 couldn't understand why such a skinny boy, as thin as a bean sprout, had unexpectedly more flesh in certain places. Especially the part wrapped in the small piece of cloth, which was white, round, and very perky.
Completely unaware that his underwear was exposed, Wu Lan was tired of fanning himself, so he had to switch back to his original hand and continue fanning. He looked at the air conditioner not far away with some longing in his eyes: "Can that air conditioner be turned on?"
2720 Retract your thoughts, [can open. ]
Before Wu Lan could be happy, it said again, "But with your personality, you won't open it even if you die of heat."
Wu Lan was so sad that she wanted to cry. She felt that this mission was not as easy as she had imagined and the environment was too harsh.
2720【Would you like to go back and put on some pants?】
【Think about it later, I'm still hot! 】
After knowing that he couldn't turn on the air conditioner, Wu Lan was even more reluctant to wear pants. He felt that one less piece of clothing would make him feel cooler.
This idea was indeed correct, but he forgot for a moment that there was someone else in the room.
So when Wu Lan heard the door open, he was still leisurely chatting with 2720.
If 2720 hadn't reminded him, the other party would have even counted the number of stripes on his underwear.
Looking at the little boy who was hurriedly adjusting his sitting position on the sofa, Lian Shuo's gaze, which had just been pulled away from the blue and white fabric, quickly fell on the fair and delicate face.
When he saw the little face clearly, his dark pupils suddenly narrowed.
He has lived here for more than half a month, but has never seen the appearance of his troublesome landlord.
His landlord had slightly long hair, with the hair on his forehead always covering his face. He always kept his head down when talking to him, looking like a rat-man who had lived in a dark and damp sewer all year round.
And he's also a stingy rat who loves to cause trouble.
It was the first time he had seen someone so stingy and so ruthless.
The time it takes to open the refrigerator must be controlled within three seconds. If something breaks, it must be repaired instead of replaced. The air conditioner in his room must only be set to 27 degrees, and it is strictly forbidden to use the air conditioner in the living room.
On weekdays, I always move some unused things from somewhere, making my already small home even smaller.
If he hadn't met him when renting a house, Lian Shuo felt that he would never have met such a person in his life.
Now, he discovered that his landlord had another shortcoming: he didn't like to wear pants.
After glancing at Wu Lan's two fair hands that were trying hard to pull the clothes down, Lian Shuo's gaze uncontrollably returned to that palm-sized face, lost in thought.
Wu Lan hadn't expected Lian Shuo to suddenly appear. The game's sound effects hadn't stopped playing, and he hadn't heard the door open. His appearance startled him so much that he sat up immediately, frantically trying to cover up the fact that he wasn't wearing pants.
Meeting the Son of Luck in this way, Wu Lan really wanted to find a piece of tofu to bump into.
[Beep! Lian Shuo's patience value: +5, current patience value: 5.]
2720's sudden announcement startled Wu Lan. Before he could ask, 2720 explained, "When Lian Shuo's patience reaches 100, he will return to the Lian family, which also means your mission is complete."
Wu Lan nodded secretly, not quite understanding what he was saying. After thinking about the current situation, he suddenly had an epiphany and realized it.
It must be because Lian Shuo thought he had an exhibitionist fetish, but in order to continue renting here, he had to tolerate his bad habit.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her analysis made sense. Wu Lan blushed, slowly loosened her grip on the hem of her clothes, and casually stretched out her legs again.
[Beep! Lian Shuo's patience value: +2, current patience value: 7.]
really!
Feeling that he had grasped the essence of the task, Wu Lan's eyes suddenly lit up. He suppressed his small joy, coughed lightly, and asked in a landlord-like manner, "What are you doing out here?"
The soft and thin sound is like cotton, making people's ears itch.
Lian Shuo stared at Wu Lan's pink little mouth that opened and closed, and felt the strange dry mouth coming over him again. He frowned in annoyance.
"Get a Coke."
After saying that, he stopped looking at Wu Lan and walked to the refrigerator and took out another can of iced cola.
Instead of opening the refrigerator for only three seconds as the landlord had requested, Lian Shuo held the refrigerator door with one hand and opened the Coke with one hand.
With a crisp "hiss" sound, the bubbles clustered together and made a rustling sound.
The expected voice urging him to close the refrigerator did not appear. Lian Shuo was a little surprised and glanced at Wu Lan again as if inadvertently.
The landlord, who didn't like wearing pants, was now supporting himself with his hands on the back of the sofa, kneeling on his knees on the soft sofa, with his head tilted, looking very embarrassed and confused.
The breeze coming in from the balcony blew up his half-dry hair, making a few strands of hair stand up.
Her round eyes rolled around and finally fixed on the Coke in his hand.
Then, Lian Shuo heard his landlord shamelessly say, "Give me a sip of your Coke."
Facing Lian Shuo's dark gaze, Wu Lan clenched her fists and added in a very unimpressive tone, "...Is it possible?"
He didn't really want to drink that Coke, but 2720 had just given him a task, asking him to make trouble for Lian Shuo and required him to complete it immediately.
Looking at the Coke in Lian Shuo's hand, he immediately got an inspiration.
He was able to come up with such a wonderful method, Wu Lan couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up.
Hearing 2720 announce that the mission was completed, he turned his back and sat down, continuing to fan himself with the fan, no longer caring about Lian Shuo's reaction.
The footsteps behind her were approaching, and before Wu Lan could look up, her face touched the cold can of Coke.
Lian Shuo gritted his teeth, not knowing why his heart skipped a beat when he saw Wu Lan's disappointed expression.
When he came to his senses, he was already standing in front of Wu Lan.
"Don't you want to drink?"
"Open your mouth."
Surprised that Lian Shuo actually gave him a sip of Coke, Wu Lan blinked and opened his mouth hesitantly.
In order to make it easier for Lian Shuo to fall in, he tilted his head back.
When her mouth opened, her small lips curled up higher, and her white and neat teeth were hidden in her fragile, wet and red mouth. Her soft tongue was trembling uneasily.
In such a small mouth, the pink inner wall and the tongue are red and wet, as if they contain water. You can tell it's slippery without touching it.
Lian Shuo's eyes suddenly turned darker. When he realized that he was staring at Wu Lan's mouth in a daze, his jaw tensed and the prominent Adam's apple on his neck rolled up and down.
The big hand holding the Coke shook slightly, and the bubbly Coke instantly flowed into the wet red mouth.
As soon as the cold cola took a sip, the distinct sweetness stimulated the taste buds, and the unique bubbly taste in the cola suddenly made the tongue sting.
After swallowing the Coke, Wu Lan was about to wipe his mouth when he saw Lian Shuo's handsome face tense and asked in a stiff tone, "Do you want more?"
Just as he was about to answer, the alarm clock rang in his room.
"It's so cold, I don't want it anymore."
Jumping off the sofa, Wu Lan ran into the room and threw Lian Shuo in the living room.
He turned off the alarm, pointed at the note on his phone and asked, "System, what does Wanhuan Negative 1st Floor mean?"
2720 [This is the alarm clock that this character set in advance. There will be a free lottery event on the basement floor of Wanhuan Shopping Mall at 3:00 PM today.]
[It's still half an hour until three o'clock. Change your clothes and go out quickly.]
Hearing that this was a task that had to be completed, Wu Lan quickly changed her clothes, didn't care whether her hair was dry or not, picked up her phone and went out.
Before going out, he took a special look at the living room and found that Lian Shuo had already returned to his room.
...
It takes fifteen minutes by bus from my home to Wanhuan Square.
When Wu Lan arrived at the event venue on the basement floor of the shopping mall, it was exactly three o'clock.
Today is Saturday and there are a lot of people shopping in the mall, especially on the basement floor, where it is crowded with people.
When there were more people around, Wu Lan couldn't tell which way was which.
Seeing someone queuing in front of him, he followed suit. After waiting in a daze for ten minutes, he realized that he was in the wrong queue.
This is not a free lottery, but a chance to scan the QR code and follow the official account to receive a free scented candle.
Hearing that it was free, Wu Lan perked up again.
He followed the instructions carefully, and after the staff confirmed that everything was correct, he took the candle handed to him.
"Excuse me, I have a small request."
The girl in work clothes pulled Wu Lan aside and asked with a smile: "Can I invite you to take a photo of our product? I can give you an extra scented candle~"
"all right."
Wu Lan cooperated by picking up the candle and letting the girl take the photo. She asked nervously, "Is this all right?"
“No problem, it’s a great photo!”
The staff had been keeping an eye on Wu Lan as early as when she was queuing. It was the first time she had seen someone who looked like a BJD doll in real life, or even prettier than a BJD.
I couldn't help but give Wu Lan another scented candle, and finally succeeded in getting Wu Lan's contact information.
When Wu Lan got to the correct line, he was holding a paper bag with three scented candles of different fragrances in it.
“I’m pretty lucky.” He couldn’t help but say.
2720 high-cold comments, [OK. 】
Wu Lan looked down at the candle in her hand from time to time, feeling happy, with her round almond-shaped eyes curved, and she was already very satisfied.
Because of this bag of unexpected surprise, waiting in line no longer feels boring.
When it was almost his turn to draw the lottery, he followed another public account according to the staff's instructions.
The lottery is conducted by picking balls of different colors from a small box. White balls represent no winners, yellow balls represent third prizes, blue balls represent second prizes, and red balls represent first prizes.
With the idea that participation was the most important thing, Wu Lan reached into the lottery box.
When he took out the ball, the host next to him congratulated him in surprise and said that he had won the third prize.
Wu Lan took a photo with a confused look on his face. After registering his winning information, he had a buffet breakfast coupon for a five-star hotel in the city center.
[System, my luck seems to be really good.]
2720 was stunned. […Well, it’s really good.]
*
Wu Lan went home after dinner.
As soon as he got home, he took another shower, put on a comfortable loose T-shirt and sat on the sofa.
In order to cool down, he took out the electric fan in the room and placed it on the low table.
Compared to his small room, the air in the living room is more ventilated, and a breeze blows in from the balcony from time to time.
Using an electric fan to dry her hair, Wu Lan lazily lay on the sofa and played with her cell phone.
He checked and found that the hotel that won the breakfast coupon in the afternoon was the highest-level and most luxurious hotel in the city. It did not serve the public and only provided dining services to hotel guests.
The buffet voucher in his hand was most likely obtained through internal channels and is very rare.
Wu Lan didn't expect that she could win such a rare prize. After thinking about it, she seriously set the alarm for herself to get up early tomorrow.
Suddenly, there was a sound of a password unlocking the door.
Wu Lan glanced over lightly, did not move, and continued to press the phone.
After Lian Shuo entered the room, he walked towards the refrigerator without looking away, as if he didn't see the person lying on the sofa.
After putting the newly bought Cokes into the refrigerator one by one, he turned and went into the room.
Through the door, Wu Lan clearly heard the wonderful sound of the air conditioner turning on from inside.
【I also want to use the air conditioner. 】
He lay on the sofa, as if he had lost all the strength to fight against fate, and repeated in a muffled voice, "System, I want air conditioning too."
2720【Isn’t the fan cool?】
Wu Lan is not stupid. There is a clear difference between a fan and an air conditioner.
But this cannot be explained to 2720. How can a system without physical flesh and blood understand his suffering?
Wu Lan didn't know where she had picked up a fancy saying: "Summer insects can't talk about ice."
2720【......】
With a long sigh, Wu Lan turned over and continued to blow the fan in the other direction.
The whistling sound was mixed with the crackling noise of the fan blades. My eyelids were blown heavy by the fan and I gradually felt sleepy.
The minute hand of the clock hanging on the wall moved slowly, and everything around seemed to slow down.
Suddenly, the tightly closed door was opened.
Lian Shuo hung the headphones around his neck. He seemed to be looking for something. His eyes quickly scanned the living room, and he secretly kept an eye on the direction of the sofa.
After looking through them all, he finally lowered his gaze to the sofa.
The boy lying on the sofa fell asleep.
He casually pushed aside the long hair on his forehead, revealing a delicate face the size of a palm, and his long, raven-black eyelashes cast shadows under the light.
The fan on the low table made his hair flutter, and the sleeve of one side of his T-shirt was blown up, revealing the fair skin hidden by the clothes.
The T-shirt he was wearing was very long and a little transparent. It must have been worn for several years and was deformed after being washed.
Lian Shuo knew that his landlord was very frugal, but this was the first time he noticed these small details.
He walked over, his steps lightening.
He told himself that he was here to look for something, but his eyes were fixed on Wu Lan and he couldn't take them off for a moment.
Or maybe he just wanted to see Wu Lan clearly and wanted to know why the landlord became less annoying today.
Lian Shuo knelt on one knee in front of the sofa. His eyes swept across Wu Lan's face and stopped at her pouty little mouth.
He suddenly remembered the wet, red, soft tongue and its inner wall that was trembling slightly in his mouth when he was feeding Coke today.
Leaning forward, the mint shower gel mixed with a faint sweet fragrance penetrated into the nostrils like a snake.
His breath suddenly hitched, and his jaw tightened again.
Damn, what the hell is that smell!
It smells so good!
Lian Shuo didn't realize that he was blocking Wu Lan's fan.
The little boy who was extremely afraid of heat frowned, stretched out his hands and grabbed around randomly, then opened his eyes in confusion and looked at the bad guy who was blocking his fan.
Wu Lan was startled and the heat in her body was almost scared away.
He sat up suddenly, his back pressed against the sofa, his eyes alert: "What are you going to do?"
Looking at the pretty landlord with a panicked expression, Lian Shuo pursed his lips and said calmly, "I'm looking for something, a data cable."
Why would I squat in front of him to look for a data cable?
Wu Lan is not a fool, he doesn't believe such a poor excuse.
His delicate pale eyebrows wrinkled, and he was about to expose Lian Shuo's excuse when he saw him put his hand under his butt with an expressionless face.
The loose hem of the T-shirt blocked the movement of Lian Shuo's hands, and Wu Lan subconsciously grabbed Lian Shuo's arm as if he wanted to sit on Lian Shuo's hand.
Not knowing what happened underneath, Wu Lan immediately clamped her legs tightly together, and her tender white leg flesh trembled as it squeezed Lian Shuo's arm.
His eyes were moist and red at the corners.
He tried to keep a straight face and warned Lian Shuo in the most serious tone:
"You! Stop touching me!"
