Ren Suo didn't get home until almost 11 o'clock, and as soon as he got back, he handed the gifts to his parents.
Ren's father immediately took the things to the study, took photos of the unboxing and posted them on WeChat Moments. Ren's mother raised an eyebrow and asked, "You... don't buy anything else when you go shopping? Like chocolate or something?"
Ren Suo said, "I don't like chocolate."
Ren Ma opened her eyes wide and looked at Ren Suo, as if she saw a roasted pig running on the ground, and the pig's trotters were braised, as if they would be torn into pieces in the next second.
Ren Xingmei, who had just finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom, giggled and said, "I don't like chocolate either, right? Why buy chocolate?"
Ren's mother was about to say something, but she hesitated. In the end, she took the SK-II set and went back to her room. Ren Suo gave the game disk of "Devil May" to Ren Xingmei and asked curiously, "You really don't like chocolate? I thought you liked Ferrero..."
"That's because you gave it to me," Ren Xingmei wiped her long hair with a towel and said, "You wouldn't give me bad chocolate... help me blow dry my hair."
"So what do you like to eat?"
"I like broad beans, the mustard-flavored kind."
Ren Suo raised his eyebrows. He also liked to eat broad beans, but he liked the crab roe flavor. He never thought that his sister liked the mustard flavor.
So everyone's preferences are different.
When he returned to the bedroom, he saw Black Cat watching a video on a tablet. Ren Suo greeted her, then lay down on the bed and took out his phone to edit a message, sending it to the group: "What gift do you want for Valentine's Day? By the way, this is my wish list. If you want to give me a gift, just pick any one."
Let’s not talk about what to do on that day, but gifts still need to be prepared in advance. It was fine if I didn’t have a festival before, but now that I have a festival and don’t show my appreciation, it’s like not asking for leave on Qingming Festival. I feel like I’m missing out.
What Ren Suo hated most was giving gifts, but now giving gifts had inevitably become one of his daily tasks, so he was ready to make a wish list and let the other party place an order based on it.
This wish list includes both physical and virtual items, ranging from a 30 yuan/month Junk Cloud membership to the latest graphics cards worth tens of thousands, with all kinds of price ranges available. Anyway, Ren Suo is sure that he will be happy with whatever he receives, so he decides not to let the other party suffer the torture of 'thinking about gifts' and directly hands the wish list to the other party.
However, it seems that, perhaps, he is the only one who thinks as decisively and efficiently as he does.
First, Mr. Mu replied: "I won't give you a gift, nor will I buy you a gift from that unromantic wish list."
"If you really want to ask me what I want, then the gift I want is this →"
Mr. Mu sent me a picture with two red books named "Marriage Certificates".
Ren Suo: "... Let's be reasonable. All the Civil Affairs Bureaus in the city must have been fully booked that day."
Mr. Mu: "Haha, who am I?"
Ren Suo thought about it and found himself stupid - Qiao Muyi was the deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau, she would not do anything illegal or criminal like robbing a man or hiding his husband in a mansion, but it was very easy to cut in line at the Civil Affairs Bureau...
Ren Suo: "But I'm afraid that I will trigger the criminal law. Can I first see if Xuanguo will enact a new marriage law that adapts to the changes in the monk society..."
Mr. Mu: "Okay, you're thinking about bigamy before you even get married. You're indeed Xiao Suo, who wants to stay with me forever and grow old together."
Why?
Ren Suo felt something was wrong. Although there were cold words on the screen, Qiao Muyi seemed particularly flammable and explosive today.
No, in the routine contacts over the past two days, Qiao Muyi spoke very little. She just said good night to Ren Suo and ended the conversation. Ren Suo thought she was tired from practicing, but now thinking about it, it seems that she was just holding back her anger.
Now I’m afraid that the three-stage rage bar is finally full, and I want to lock in my true and super-killing secret move.
"Are you angry?"
"Why am I angry?"
"Then let's get the certificate."
The other party was silent.
"What certificate?"
"Marriage certificate."
"The two of us?"
"The two of us."
"real?"
"real."
"You didn't lie to me?"
"If I lied to you, I would have eaten roast duck for three days during Chinese New Year."
After a while, Master Mu asked, "What about Cheng Ling and Yue Yan?"
"Yueyan is too young to get one. I'll ask Chengling later. If she's willing, I'll get another one." Ren Suo replied seriously, "Don't worry. I have a way to solve the problem of bigamy, but it will take a few days."
Ren Suo had it all thought out. After he cleared the level and had time to summon, he could use "Clear Spring Flowing Sound" to summon the virtual master Irina and let her invade the Xuan Kingdom network to conceal Ren Suo's crimes. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
"Negative emotions from Qiao Muyi +999."
Mr. Mu: "I'm telling you, I'm really angry now."
Ren Suo: "I was wrong. Can you tell me what you want so I can buy it for you to make amends?"
Mr. Mu: "If I really want something, I will buy it myself. Why should I ask you to give it to me? Similarly, if you want something, you can just ask me directly. I will buy it for you, but I won't give it to you as a surprise gift. Have you ever thought about what gift you can give me?"
Ren Suo: "I thought about it. I drank coffee in Guangming Square for an hour and a half, thinking about what gift to give."
Mr. Mu: "So what is the result of your thinking?"
Ren Suo: "Nothing. I thought about you for half an hour."
On the other side, Qiao Muyi, who was lying on the sofa holding her orange cat and playing with her mobile phone, couldn't help but sigh when she saw these words.
"What were you thinking about for the other hour..."
Qiao Muyi thought about it and decided to delete this boring sentence. But she was still angry and gnashed her teeth, making a mumbling sound, which scared the orange cat Xiao Suo Gonggong so much that he meowed and stepped on the milk to please his owner.
"Qiao Muyi, Qiao Muyi, you have to be ruthless and force him!" Qiao Muyi said viciously, and threw the orange cat in her arms into the air, scaring the orange cat so much that it barked loudly.
Then Qiao Muyi grabbed the air, and used invisible magic power to bind the floating orange cat in the air, and slowly dragged it back into Qiao Muyi's arms. The orange cat was so scared that it almost lost a pound of weight.
Mr. Mu: "You sound nice [○｀Д′○], did you and Cheng Ling meet with each other's parents on the fourth day of the New Year? Did you discuss matters like having a baby?"
Ren Suo subconsciously wanted to ask, "How did you know that?", but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to ask, so he answered directly: "Yes, that's true. Was that what you were angry about before?"
Mr. Mu: "Fortunately you are not in front of me, otherwise I would let you know how angry I am."
Ren Suo scratched his head, feeling that Qiao Muyi was still holding back her anger. Typing online would only give her more time to aim and lock onto her, so he called her directly.
The first time I was hung up, the second time I was hung up, and the third time I was connected: “I only give you time for one sentence.”
"Are we going to travel around the world before considering having kids?"
"..." Qiao Muyi was silent for a moment, then said seriously: "Xiao Suo, do you think I'm so easy to fool?"
"No, you are angry. I have discussed with Cheng Ling the relevant issues of having children, so why don't I talk to you about having children now..."
Qiao Muyi: "I'm angry because you want to have a child with another woman. Why can't you just go with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau and sign?"
"Then... to express our apology, we will just have fun and not have children?"
"No, I like children."
"So...just one? Do you prefer a girl or a boy?"
"No, at least two, preferably twins."
Qiao Muyi lost her parents when she was young and lived under the care of others. In fact, she unexpectedly has a motherly side in her heart. She lacked love since she was young, and when she grew up, her worldview was slightly distorted, but Ren Suo corrected it. Therefore, she is very eager to raise a few children and let them feel the happiness that she lacked in her childhood.
After deciding on the best age difference between the two children, Qiao Muyi hung up the phone with a satisfied look on her face, and then she suddenly came to her senses - wait, I was actually fooled by Xiao Suo! ? Was I just hit by his lowering of intelligence! ?
Then Ren Suo sent another message: "(づ￣3￣)づ╭?～Good night"
"Tsk..." Qiao Muyi muttered, "This guy only knows how to act cute..."
But Qiao Muyi thought for a long time and still didn't want to break the happy mood at the moment. She put down her phone, picked up the fat orange cat, put it in her arms and stroked it gently, lying on the sofa and whispered: "Let's force him here today, take it slowly, and sooner or later force him to the corner of the bed..."
The orange cat's whole body went limp and he let out a long breath, feeling thankful for having another peaceful day of his cat life.
…
…
Dong Chengling's reply was still "whatever", while Gu Yueyan's reply was "I want a gift made by you personally."
But like Qiao Muyi, they are all classical lovers, and they are not interested in giving gifts according to Ren Suo's wish list. Instead, they prepare gifts that they think Ren Suo will like. Their emphasis on gifts highlights how materialistic, money-worshiping, realistic, and ugly Ren Suo is.
However, Gu Yueyan reminded Ren Suo that, yes, they all wanted "sincere gifts", so they could just make them themselves.
So what to do?
Ren Suo, who had no inspiration at all, suddenly remembered something. He chose to sit down, open the small world game console, and click to enter the mysterious tavern he had not seen for a long time.
Because he didn't open the main interface of the Small World game console often these days, and "Traitors of Light and Dark" didn't have any confusing levels, Ren Suo almost forgot about this place.
But when I opened it today, there was a surprise!
The protagonist of "The Ghost in the Night", the cook, is drinking in the pub!
She sat at the bar, seemingly chatting with the tavern owner who was surrounded by black mist. When Ren Suo entered the tavern, she immediately noticed his arrival and turned to look at him outside the screen: "Long time no see."
「好久不见。」
At this time, the tavern owner suddenly took away everything on the bar. Ren Suo asked curiously, "What were you talking about just now?"
The tavern owner said coldly, "Do you have any questions you would like to ask today?"
The tavern owner wanted to change the subject, but the cook said honestly, "Hmm? We didn't talk about anything. The owner gave me some handmade chocolate to try and discussed with me how to make chocolate more delicious."
Chocolate... Ren Suo thought for a moment and asked, "Then how can we make chocolate more delicious?"
"My plan is this. First, you need to prepare fine sugar, fresh cream, and finely chopped chocolate..."
The cook elaborated on a lot of methods for making handmade chocolates, and finally said, "Practice makes perfect in making chocolates. You need to control your taste and time over and over again to make delicious chocolates... Of course, if you follow my steps, you will definitely be able to make pretty good chocolates."
Practice makes perfect...
Ren Suo nodded thoughtfully. Practice makes perfect. It’s such a simple thing!
Four hours is enough to create five, six, seven, or eight clones, right? Even if the experience cannot be accumulated to the main body, as long as...
However, Ren Suo changed his mind and decided to forget it. He should do it himself. He couldn't rely on his clone for everything. The chocolate made in this way would be soulless and without sincerity.
But that's not right. The clone's work is my work, and the clone's sincerity is my sincerity...
Although Ren Suo quickly found an excuse for being lazy, he still decided to do it himself this time: after all, he had never made handmade chocolates before, and it seemed like it would be fun.
If it's really boring, then let his clone come next year, if he has a next year.
After the conversation, the cook finished her drink and left. The tavern owner once again asked unhappily, "What do you want?"
Originally, Ren Suo didn't have anything to ask, but since the tavern owner took the initiative to solicit business, he asked, "I'm now playing "Light and Dark Traitor" in Luoyan City. I killed Sega Dafa. What should I do next?"
Ren Suo really didn't know what to do next. After all, Ross wouldn't return to Blackland to receive orders. He wanted to kill someone but didn't know who to kill, and he had no clue about the mission target.
"10 merit points."
After paying the money happily, the tavern owner said, "Just follow the plot."
Ren Suo almost forgot that this tavern owner loves to talk nonsense the most.
I know I have to follow the plot, but there is no plot now!
Los hid in the mansion, and he didn't know how long he could conceal the news of the death of Boethiah's followers. At most, he could replace Sega Dafa and escape, but he didn't know where he could escape to - that was the base camp of the descendants of God, the city of Luoyan!
"The protagonist follows the plot and should escape now. He only needs to hide for a while and will soon receive help from the players and obtain relevant information about the next mission target."
"I received a considerable tip, and the tavern owner secretly told you: With the help of the players, Los will soon be able to find the next mission target."
This is probably the most unjustified merit I have ever spent.
Ren Suo thought that "Light and Dark Traitors" might be a game that did not require any hints, so if he forced himself to ask questions, the Mysterious Tavern would only be able to force him to give a repetitive answer.
But if he lost, he lost. Could Ren Suo just blow up the screen and ask the tavern owner to pay him back? He left the mysterious tavern depressed and continued playing "Light and Dark Traitor".
At this moment, he remembered something and turned to Black Cat and said, "Luna, I will help you prepare all the virtual anchors. This is your Valentine's Day gift, okay?"
"Seconds~" the black cat replied.
Great, Luna is the easiest to deal with.
Entering "Light and Dark Traitor", Ren Suo immediately checked the gains from Los's killing of Sega Dafa.
"Sega Saturn Warframe: Psychic defense value 5/30000, automatically replenishes 5 psychic points per second, always in the "Guardian of Boethiah" when worn, invisible shadow flames will cover the warframe, immune to all fire damage, eliminate the wearer's presence, enhance the ability to lurk, enhance the fear effect, and can move silently."
"Boethiah's Bloodline Belt: 7 slots. Each time a Boethiah series cartridge is added, the wearer's supernatural resistance is increased by 5%. Two God-born cartridges can be equipped, and the exclusive Bloodline cartridge effect can be activated."
As well as two "Three Stars Brutal Warriors" cartridges, and a Silent Action cartridge set.
Ren Suo then discovered the ultimate equipment setting of this game: an exclusive Bloodline belt, which, when paired with an exclusive Bloodline cartridge, can activate the exclusive Bloodline halo special effect.
However, with the "Three-Star Brutal Warrior" cartridge that Ren Suo had created himself, he now had three identical Ultimate Bloodline cartridges.
Next, continue synthesis?
Ren Suo placed the three Bloodline cartridges into the fusion interface and chose fusion.
Unable to merge.
But at the same time, the game popped up a special prompt:
"'Better Loot' detected that Los had obtained an extra Bloodline cartridge, triggering the hidden exchange channel—"
"You can now consume a Bloodline Cartridge, plus 10 Merit Points, and directly draw a three-star level cartridge (choose 1 from 5)."
The Bloodline Cartridge is the highest level and cannot be upgraded further, but Ren Suo can now choose to consume the Bloodline Cartridge to directly obtain a high-level three-star cartridge.
Without further ado, Ren Suo drew twice and pulled out the "Three-Star Blind Fool"!
This cassette that can refresh skills is an equipment that Los almost cannot give up. Without this refreshing skill, Los would not be able to transform into a young lady or a young man every ten minutes like he does now, deceiving passers-by.
Then Los absorbed Sega's body and left the mansion with his face covered.
Action options: "Go to the secret safe house built by Saga in Luoyan City", "Go to the indoor tavern in the second ring to assassinate a descendant of God and take his place."
Ren Suo thought about it, and the tavern owner said, "You only need to hide for a while," so he chose to let Sega go to the tavern. The tavern on the second ring of Luoyan City is similar to the bars in reality, and still has exciting music and dance floors.
But you can't just kill people here. In addition to the sun and the moon in the sky, there is also a surveillance system indoors - the Night Mother's Listener!
The upside-down clown on the wall of the tavern means that the Night Mother Lord is listening here!
So Los randomly found a shadowy spot, approached a god-descendant who looked ordinary and ugly, and suddenly removed the camouflage effect, revealing his true face!
Los was lucky. The Ugly Goddess actually recognized him: "You..."
Then Los instantly and directionally released "Aura of Brutality" and "Blind Brutality", plus the effect of the Brutality Warrior, instantly causing nearly eight times the critical hit, breaking through the defense shield of the Ugly Goddess with one strike, remaining silent throughout the whole process, and successfully replacing him!
At this moment, the music in the tavern suddenly stopped and a solemn announcement sounded:
"Dragonborn Los has sneaked into Luoyan City. All descendants of gods please return to your residence for inspection. Dragonborn Los is very dangerous and can disguise himself as a descendant of gods. All descendants of gods who find others behaving strangely, please report to the guards immediately!"
「龙裔洛斯……」
At this moment, a team of God-born guards rushed into the tavern, isolated all the God-born, questioned them one by one, and checked whether there was any Dragon-born Los hiding.
When it was Los' turn, he was taken to a small room by a divine guard for questioning.
When he came out, he had turned into the divine guard.
The Silent Action Cassette Combo can really do whatever you want.
After the inspection, the Godly Guards left the tavern. Suddenly, a Godly Guard stopped them and said, "Hurry up and go to Dafa Ys's mansion. Dafa Sony suspects that the Dragonborn Los is hiding in Dafa Ys's mansion and asked us to check!"
"Lord Mora's Isu Dafa? Could this be a Dafa..."
「慎言！」
The captain of the guards immediately shut up and flew into the air with the divine guards.
"It really follows the plot, the next target will pop up naturally..." Ren Suo muttered, "This intelligence fee is really a waste... Oh, it's such a waste, I will remember this for at least three days and three nights..."
……
……
"I'm speaking so bluntly, will he still not understand? Never mind, he'll cry someday anyway."
In the mysterious tavern, the tavern owner who was wiping the cups muttered secretly, put down the cup, took out a piece of handmade chocolate he made and ate it, and couldn't help sighing.
He took out granulated sugar and other materials and tools from the drawer, and prepared to make it again according to the cook's instructions.
Maybe it was because of his past experiences, but he found himself nitpicking about everything.
He is a mysophobe and demands that his surroundings be spotless at all times;
He is an efficiency freak and will never procrastinate for even a minute;
He is a perfectionist and even when making chocolate, he demands perfection.
It's a pity that his starting point was very low. After all, except for making chocolate a few times in the first year, that guy never made chocolate again... so much so that he now needs to find the cook to ask how to make chocolate.
Squeak.
Another guest is here.
However, when he looked up, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"You are finally here..."
"Have you been waiting for me for a long time?" The visitor asked with a smile, sitting at the bar.
"I have been waiting for you to come since I took charge of this tavern." He said, "I have many things that I need your help with."
"For example?"
"For example, in making handmade chocolate, his starting point was too low. If he had started from a higher point, I wouldn't have to learn so hard..."
"So you need me to help him improve this skill in his dream? But wouldn't that just be giving him a taste of the sweetness? And it's so troublesome..."
"Let me in!" He slammed his fist on the bar and said, "I'll help you train him!"
The Moon Singer sighed, "Are you trying to take revenge?"
"Can the matter between him and me be called a personal vendetta? This is like a father beating his son, a grandfather beating his grandson!" The boss held Yue Yongzhe's hand and said, "Let me train him. I can't beat him now, but can't I bully him in the past?"
The Moon Singer thought about it and shook his head: "No, Luna won't allow it. You should give up on this idea. But I promise you, I will train him to make chocolate in my dream."
"At least, at least you have to agree to my request!" The boss bowed heavily: "This is my lifelong request! For the sake of our common suffering, please agree to my request."
“…Alright.” Seeing how pitiful he was, Yue Yongzhe couldn’t bear it any more: “As long as it’s not too much, I’ll agree to it.”
"That's absolutely not too much!" The boss clenched his fists and said heavily, "You just need to make him wear an apron!"
"So simple?" Yue Yangzhe was stunned.
"But don't let him wear anything but an apron."
