"This haunted house refuses to entertain monks!? Why!"
On Sunday, March 3, in Lianjiang City's Happy World Amusement Park, Gu Yueyan looked at the notice outside the horror house and said unconvincedly: "This is discrimination!"
After spending March 2, the day reserved for Xiao Jiu, everyone welcomed March 3, a day marked as "shared". Everyone was free on this day, including Xiao Jiu.
After several rounds of negotiations that almost led to a fight, everyone had to give up the idea of monopolizing this kind of day and just arrange normal activities.
For example, going to an amusement park.
The decision to go to the amusement park was not made on a whim, but after a vote by many people. Because it was a group activity, the more people the better, so Ren Suo also invited Bai Ji and Zhao Huo, but Yu Kuangtu and Li Dan did not need to be invited. Since Qiao Muyi could come, it meant that the two of them had to be on duty at the Countermeasures Bureau.
During the discussion, Gu Yueyan, Lin Xianyu, Bai Ji and Zhao Huo all agreed to the suggestion of going to the amusement park. None of them had been to Happy World and they all wanted to go.
"Because the amusement park doubts that the monks will blow up the haunted house with a slap."
Lin Xianyu took out his mobile phone and pointed to the Happy World announcement
"The feeling of fear comes from the lack of control over oneself and the environment. Most people don't have weapons, so when they encounter fear, they will choose to run away. But we monks may choose to fight back, and of course we won't take this risk in a haunted house." Ren Suo smiled faintly.
Bai Ji, wearing a coat and a scarf, held a map and said, "Today is a holiday and there are a lot of people. Let's go play the motorized facilities first. Well, there are fewer people on the Ten-Ring Roller Coaster, so let's go there to queue up first."
At this time Dong Chengling, Xiao Jiu and Ren Xingmei came over with snacks. Before they got close, Ren Suo heard the black cat's meow, so he went over, opened Xiao Jiu's schoolbag, took the black cat out, and asked her to choose from three ice creams. She chose durian ice cream.
Dong Chengling frowned slightly and said, "Everything here is so expensive."
Dong Chengling, who seldom goes to tourist attractions, has serious doubts about the cost-effectiveness of the goods in such places.
"And it's not that delicious. The noodles I ate just now are not as good as the beef brisket and fried sauce noodles you made." Ren Suo said with a smile.
"Why don't you go back to the supermarket near the college and buy some snacks for us?" Qiao Muyi took a portion of tornado potatoes and made a suggestion while eating.
Only she would suggest Dong Chengling to use the powerful space movement spell in such trivial matters. Even if others thought of it, they would be embarrassed to say it out loud, just like asking a friend to borrow a +22 dark sword to help them cut salted fish.
Dong Chengling thought about it carefully and shook his head: "There is no such food in the campus supermarket. Although this kind of unique and good-looking fried food is unhealthy and has a low cost-effectiveness, it creates an 'atmosphere' just like the surrounding balloons, music and dolls."
"That's right." Qiao Muyi nodded and smiled, "When we go out to play, the atmosphere is very important. Besides, we are not without money. It would be too boring if we were to think about saving money when we go out to play."
Lin Xianyu, who was fighting with Xiaojiu for the octopus balls, immediately disagreed: "Sister Qiao, we are just children! We are poor students who spend all our money on stationery and study materials! We have no money!"
"Don't worry." Ren Xingmei smiled and said, "All the tickets and meals this time were paid for by my brother."
Lin Xianyu blinked: "Really?"
Ren Suo nodded. It was not a problem for him to pay because he had already given all his savings to his sister. His sister was responsible for all the expenses on this trip, so naturally it was his money.
Giving the savings to his sister was not a rational decision for Ren Suo. In fact, in the Daedra plane, when Ren Suo knew that his sister had almost achieved financial freedom through investment, he had already come up with the idea and quickly hugged his sister's golden thigh!
Ren Suo himself has no investment knowledge. At most, he knows the four-word truth "buy low and sell high" from the business game. However, this is against human nature. Buying low means that everyone else doesn't want it, but you do; selling high means that everyone else is scrambling to get it, but you don't.
Therefore, the reality is only 'chasing highs and selling lows', and those who want to 'buy low and sell high' have all become leeks.
In the past, Ren Suo was very self-aware in this regard. Even when he encountered the wave of spiritual energy revival, the stock market shock, and the sudden rise of the Science and Technology Innovation Board, he still worked honestly to earn a living.
Even if Ren Suo wanted to participate in the financial game on his own, he would need at least half a year of training and learning. Instead of spending time starting from scratch, it would be better to hand over all the money to his sister who already has the relevant experience and achievements to operate.
Of course, it is also possible that once Ren Suo obtains the door to truth, he will naturally achieve complete freedom.
But one cannot pin all hopes on this game. Instead, one must ensure that one can gain profits no matter what happens. Therefore, after Ren Suo left a certain amount of living expenses for himself, he gave all the money to his sister for investment operations.
Correspondingly, these larger expenses are naturally borne by my younger sister.
"Really?" Zhao Huo said in surprise, "I can finally take advantage of Ren Suo?"
Lin Xianyu, who had successfully snatched the last octopus ball, quickly glanced at Ren Suo: "…Thank you, Brother Ren."
There is a problem.
From the decrease in Lin Xianyu's truth points, Ren Suo knew that there was something wrong with Lin Xianyu.
Ren Suo reflected on himself and found that he did not find any problems in his relationship with Lin Xianyu. He also did not think that there was anything wrong with him. He was no longer the Ren Suo who often had problems.
However, Lin Xianyu's emotional value still decreased, and Ren Suo could only think that there was something wrong with Lin Xianyu. As women's emotional factors accounted for a higher proportion, Ren Suo believed that Lin Xianyu might have lowered her favorability towards him due to personal feelings and other reasons.
For example, if Lin Xianyu dreams that Ren Suo steals her food, and after waking up she becomes secretly angry at Ren Suo, this is also possible.
After confirming that he had not done anything inappropriate towards Lin Xianyu, Ren Suo no longer thought about his relationship with Lin Xianyu. He only hoped that by doing activities together, he could keep Lin Xianyu's emotional value from decreasing.
As long as he clears the game levels of "Gate of Truth", Lin Xianyu's emotional value will naturally rise.
By then...
After a short break after eating snacks, everyone started to line up to ride the motorized facilities. They first tried the ten-ring roller coaster and the bungee jumping machine as two appetizers, and then went to ride the vertical roller coaster which had the longest queue.
"Why do I feel like I've played these rides before?" Zhao Huo was a little puzzled as he sat on the roller coaster. "Then it slowly rises to the highest point, then hangs in the air for three seconds at the highest point to scare us, then it accelerates to the fastest speed with a whoosh, and then drops vertically... It's exactly like that!"
Ren Suo, who was wearing a mask, was not affected by the airflow and asked with a smile: "Have you been here before?"
"No." After the roller coaster entered the flat area, Zhao Huo continued, "It seems that someone from the club organized a trip to Happy World, but I don't think I went."
"like?"
Zhao Huo was a little confused, but soon everyone was taken up by the roller coaster again and their minds were blank. When they came to their senses, they had all been carried to the exit by the roller coaster.
Then they continued to play other amusement projects. While walking around the amusement park, Qiao Muyi suddenly asked, "Bai Ji, have you been here before?"
"No."
"But you are such a competent guide," Qiao Muyi glanced at the crowd nearby and said, "We didn't get lost along the way, and the mobile facilities you chose hardly required queuing. Even if we had to queue, we would just pass by the canteen to buy some food, so that we could pass the boring waiting time..."
"I just did my homework and planned the itinerary." Bai Ji smiled and said, "After all, I was treated to a meal this time, so I planned to repay the favor in this way."
"Bai Ji's girlfriend will definitely be very happy." Ren Suo gave a fitting compliment.
Gu Yueyan, Qiao Muyi, Dong Chengling, and Ren Xingmei secretly praised this when they heard it.
Bai Ji glanced at Ren Suo, thought about it, nodded reservedly, and also nodded a thumbs up.
After dining at the castle restaurant at night, they went to the alien spaceship to have a look, and then went to the International Circus Theater to watch the big circus "Science Fiction Legend II".
During this circus performance, there was a scene where a staff member stood on a car and crashed it into a wall, causing a real-life effect of the car exploding. The scene was so spectacular that the audience was amazed.
However, Zhao Huo said thoughtfully: "Won't he lift the car up and throw it?"
Lin Xianyu also said: "Yes, yes, shouldn't the burning car be thrown towards the audience?"
Ren Xingmei asked curiously, "Have you seen this performance before? Has there been such a segment before?"
“I haven’t seen it,” Lin Xianyu shook his head, “but I think that kind of scene should appear…”
It was already 9pm after watching the circus. Dong Chengling, who didn't want to waste time on commuting, took everyone back to Tianlian College and sent Qiao Muyi back to the city. Even though Dong Chengling had already stabilized his fourth-level cultivation, he was a little out of breath after such a heavy workload.
Ren Suo asked the others to go back first, and he used it to replenish Dong Chengling's magic. But after the others left, the black cat Luna immediately changed back to human form and pestered Ren Suo to play together. Dong Chengling and Qiao Muyi's education of Luna began to show results. Luna already knew that she must change her clothes when she transformed.
Half an hour later, Ren Suo left Dong Chengling's house and arrived at the dormitory building. He saw a tall figure standing by the lake opposite the dormitory building.
Ren Suo raised his eyebrows slightly, lowered his voice and walked over. When he was behind Zhao Huo, he suddenly said, "Zhao Huo."
Zhao Huo was startled, but he immediately felt relieved when he saw it was Ren Suo: "What are you doing here?"
"I saw you here, so I came over to take a look." Ren Suo squatted by the river, staring at the lake. There was no moon tonight, and the lake was pitch black, as if a monster was lurking. "Thinking doesn't match your face at all."
"It's trouble!" Zhao Huo complained, then sighed: "It's just that I've encountered some troubles recently. It's not really trouble, it's just that I don't know how to decide..."
"Want to tell me?"
"In no mood."
"Then you don't have to tell me." Ren Suo said calmly, "There are many things that you can only solve by yourself, and many responsibilities that you can only bear by yourself. The comfort of others is actually unnecessary... However, if you really want to find someone to talk to, I don't mind keeping some things secret for a while."
Zhao Huo was slightly startled and nodded: "Thank you."
He suddenly smiled: "Ren Suo, you seem to have changed."
“Has it gotten better or worse?”
"It's become a second dimension."
Even Ren Suo couldn't tell whether Zhao Huo was mocking or praising him. He didn't stay any longer, but chose to leave to give Zhao Huo some space: "If you can't say it face to face, you can chat online. After all, you can't send emojis in real life."
Zhao Huo waved his hand, picked up a small stone and skipped it into the lake.
Ren Suo knew that Zhao Huo was waiting for the woman he met last night, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he quickly went home, summoned his clone and handed the phone to him.
"Do housework, clean up, switch your WeChat account to, and once Zhao Huo sends a message, reply according to my predetermined logic." Ren Suo gave the clone instructions, then put on Pandora's Box and entered the game "Gate of Truth".
Dong Chengling's truth points increased by 80 points.
Qiao Muyi's truth points increased by 40 points.
Gu Yueyan's truth points increased by 70 points.
Ren Xingmei's truth points increase by 50 points.
Bai Ji's truth points increase by 180 points.
Ren Xiaojiu's truth points increased by 100 points.
Luna's truth points increase by 120.
Lin Xianyu's truth point decreased by 1.
Added Zhao Huo's friendship, worth 190 truth points.
Added Zhao Huo's friendship, worth 140 truth points.
The experiment was successful.
Xiaosuo was the female character that Ren Suo played last night by putting on makeup and changing into female clothes. This identity was specially used by Ren Suo to test the new spells he got from the game.
He exchanged for Kader's awakening spell last night, which allows him to launch terrifying attacks through long-term charging.
While he was testing, he met Zhao Huo who came over after hearing the noise. Ren Suo had expected this, so he naturally exchanged contact information with Zhao Huo and then left quickly.
"When I change my identity, the emotional relationships of my second identity will not overlap with the first identity, but will be calculated separately."
"When I sell someone's feelings, from his perspective, the relationship between him and me has not changed at all. The only change is my mood and feelings."
“As long as I follow the daily interactions I wrote down, I can re-cultivate friendships. It’s easier than building new relationships and easier than deepening old ones.”
"I sold my friendship with Zhao Huo last night. If I follow the strategy and interact with Zhao Huo normally today, I will be able to create new feelings..."
"An almost endless and infinite renewable resource." Ren Suo looked at the names on the emotional exchange list one by one, and a glimmer of enlightenment emerged in his mind: "Rather than saying it's selling, it's better to say... harvesting."
