After a slight hesitation, I turned off my phone.
I'll hold off on paying it back for now, otherwise I really won't be able to afford food.
After taking a shower and lying in bed, I realized I hadn't had a good night's sleep in many, many years. I thought I wouldn't be able to fall asleep, but to my surprise, I fell asleep almost as soon as I closed my eyes.
He was still fast asleep, so soundly that he didn't wake Yan Rong when she came back...
When I woke up again, it was already night.
At 11 p.m., the film studio was still bustling with people.
When Shen Qi woke up, he was instantly wide awake.
After drinking some water, I looked out the window and saw that it was even more lively than during the day.
Thinking back to my predecessor's memories, there were many times when I didn't go to sleep until one or two in the morning. Sure enough, times have changed. It's so late and people still aren't sleeping. They can't even tell day from night anymore.
I was just about to go back to bed and continue sleeping.
Glug glug!
My stomach started growling.
Shen Qi's face flushed slightly.
Even though there was no one around, it was still a little awkward.
It's embarrassing that a two-time tycoon could be so hungry that his stomach was growling.
I haven't eaten anything since I arrived here, and now I'm hungry.
When I opened the small refrigerator, there were only drinks and alcoholic beverages inside; there was no food, not even a single leafy green vegetable.
This is how life is.
Chen Qi looked outside and saw a snack shop not far away. His predecessor often bought food there. After getting dressed, he washed his face and took his wallet before going out.
As soon as I stepped outside, a wave of sweltering heat hit me.
Several tables were set up at the entrance of the snack shop, and a few people were already seated there.
"Qiqi's here! What would you like to eat today?" The proprietress, a woman in her fifties, greeted her warmly.
Chen Qi chuckled: "A small bowl of noodles, without meat!" It's two yuan cheaper without meat, but I'm broke, so I won't eat the meat.
The proprietress smiled and agreed, "Sit down for a bit, it'll only take a short while. Young ladies should eat more meat, you don't need to diet anymore!"
Chen Qi smiled and found an empty seat to sit down.
It has nothing to do with losing weight, it's just that she doesn't have enough money. Once she has money, she will definitely eat meat, she's someone who can't live without meat.
The noodles were quickly cooked, and Chen Qi paid and was about to leave when the system, which had been quiet all afternoon, suddenly spoke up:
"Ding! Temporary mission triggered. Cat demon has appeared. Please subdue the cat demon. You will receive 1 cash reward. Failure will deduct 1 year of your life points!"
Originally, Chen Qi was going to ignore it. What did cats and demons have to do with me, Chen Qi, at night?
It's just that the health points deducted are a bit unfair!
Every time I fail to complete a mission, I lose health points. It's so hard to stay alive.
But when he heard about the reward, Chen Qi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Cash!
With this 10,000 yuan reward, I can pay off the outstanding fees.
Chen Qi thought to himself, "Answer!"
System: "The one wearing a black hat at the table to the left of Host Seven is the cat demon!"
Chen Qi glanced over lightly and indeed saw a person wearing a black hat eating with their head down. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Shopkeeper, I want to finish my meal here before I leave. Eating at home might disturb others!"
The proprietress immediately replied, "No problem, I'll get you some bowls and chopsticks!"
Bring out the bowls and chopsticks, and Chen Qi begins to eat.
The small bowl of noodles wasn't much; it was finished in just a few bites. After eating, she stood up and slowly left, thinking of finding a place to wait for the cat demon and then cleaning up. Chen Qi hadn't really thought she would be afraid. With memories from her past life, a small cat demon was no different from a small pet in her eyes.
Just then, the man in the black hat next to them finished eating, paid, and left one after the other with Shen Qi.
Shen Qi walked slowly, while the cat demon walked even slower.
After walking more than ten meters, Chen Qi suddenly quickened his pace.
Surprisingly, the cat demon following behind her also sped up...
Ha! This cat demon is courting death.
Chen Qi sneered inwardly.
He turned and walked not toward his rented room, but toward a small stone path.
There are many secluded and sparsely populated places in the film and television base, but they are only slightly remote.
There were many scenes needed for filming, including places that looked like ruins. Presumably, there wouldn't be anyone there so late. He glanced at the cat demon following not far behind, and a faint smile slowly curved his lips...
