First level of hell
Mu Qingting and Lian Gufeng arrived at the Spark City one after another.
When Mu Qingting, Zhao Jing, and Cuicui came, they also brought considerable material compensation.
Mu Qingting, who successfully completed the task, did not keep any of these things to herself and handed them all to Xun Ruozhang. Then, under Su Liu's arrangement, she and Zhao Jing completely rebelled against "Dawn of Tomorrow" and became citizens of the Spark City.
When Mu Qingting and Zhao Jing went down to rest, they left Cuicui behind. When leaving, Mu Qingting felt a little embarrassed, as if she had not completed the second task and had let down the city lord's trust in her.
She didn't know about Lian Gufeng's past before, but in the process of getting along with Gu and Pei, she gradually learned that Lian Gufeng was the first victim.
As an Omega, Mu Qingting felt that this was very cruel. If it were a less capable Omega, he might have been tortured to death by guilt and self-blame.
"Your methods are still too gentle. It would be better to pretend to be an 100% love relationship, which would be more effective in killing people and destroying their hearts," Su Liu commented calmly after listening to Mu Qingting's story.
Mu Qingting kept this sentence in mind. A few years later, when she met Gu and Pei again, she did it without hesitation.
Not long after Mu Qingting and Zhao Jing left, Xun Ruozhang came over with Lian Gufeng.
Lian Gufeng finally took off his gauze hat.
Beneath the veil lies a dignified and majestic face.
She is indeed very saintly and seems very easy to deceive.
When she came, Su Liu was bathing and brushing the head sheep on the ranch, using the same massage technique that had mesmerized Cuicui.
Cuicui had finished her bath and was lying on the grass with her legs up in the air, basking in the sun.
Because Cuicui had previously brought Lian Gufeng news about Eulalia, they had successfully broken the ice and reached a reconciliation. Seeing Lian Gufeng approach, Cuicui immediately jumped up and onto Lian Gufeng's shoulder, pushing the other black cat that had been lying there down. After not seeing each other for over a month, the man and the cat were now as close as glue.
The black cat that was driven down also had a pair of green eyes, but if you look closely, you can see that the eyes of this black cat are not pure green. One of them has some light yellow in the green.
This is a cat with heterochromia.
The new cat looked at Su Liu for a while, but did not come closer. Instead, it took a few steps back and lay on the grass in a depressed manner.
Little Mint, are you bullying your new friend? Cuicui and Lian Gufeng spent a while together, then came over to translate for Su Liu.
"When did I bully it?" Su Liu turned his back to Lian Gufeng and the two cats, and was concentrating on brushing the head sheep's fur.
Cuicui climbed onto Su Liu's shoulders.
He gestured to Su Liu to listen for herself.
My back is itchy, comb it again. This is the sound of the head sheep.
Ten steps away, the little black cat was crying: He won’t like me, I… I’m losing hair.
"...You are all black cats, is it really shedding?" Su Liu looked back in shock at the black cat that was about the same size as Cuicui but obviously younger than Cuicui, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"Bad mint, you don't like it just because it's shedding? Why are you like that?" Cuicui used her pink paw pads to gently pat Su Liu's jaw as punishment, then jumped down and ran to comfort the kitten.
Lian Gufeng didn't pay attention to these. She stood in the shade of the tree and looked at both sides of the road. She was waiting for Xun Ruozhang to bring her daughter over.
Eulalia arrived soon. The little girl had her hair loose today, not braided, but wrapped in a headscarf. She was led over by Xun Ruozhang, holding his hand.
Before meeting Eulalia, Lian Gufeng seemed to have a lot to say, but after seeing her daughter, she suddenly covered her mouth and shed silent tears.
"This aunt is so strange," Eulalia said with a comforting smile.
"She's not your aunt, she's your mother," Xun Ruozhang put Eulalia's little hand in Lian Gufeng's palm.
One big and one small, two hands clasped together.
They haven't seen each other in nearly five years.
"Is being a mother a job?" Eulalia smiled innocently. "Because I don't have a mother, someone else has to be my mother?"
"...I guess so," Lian Gufeng squatted down, wiped away her tears, and looked at Eulalia's appearance carefully.
It was similar to what Lian Gufeng had imagined. Eulalia didn't look much like her. The little girl looked more like her father's genes, with a high nose bridge, long eyelashes, and a pair of passionate eyes. They should be Pei Yan's.
Lian Gu Feng used to hate these eyes, but now he actually finds them very tender.
There is nothing wrong with one's appearance; it is the human heart that is wrong.
After untying his knot and recognizing Eulalia, Lian Gu Feng officially joined the Spark City.
The black cat with heterochromia was adopted by Eulalia and stayed in the city.
Lian Gufeng played with Eulalia for a few days. After saying goodbye to Su Liu, he took Cuicui, who was wearing a small bib made by Ji He, out of the city to investigate why his daughter was sold to "Dawn of the Future".
At night, Su Liu lay in bed looking at the system update panel. Since Mu Qingting, Lian Gufeng and others joined, plus the people who came one after another over the past month, the population of Spark City has exceeded 8,000, almost reaching 10,000.

Potential: Quantum Tunneling
[Bloodline: Bloodline Omega (Growth Type)]
After resolving the concerns of the core supporting character Lian Gufeng, the "Revelation of Disaster" was indeed upgraded.
Su Liu glanced at the system's operating system with a mixture of irritation and amusement. This system, calling itself a quantum servant, was truly becoming increasingly intricate. He glanced at the newly added features. Below Level 4, the system only listed the event, time, and location of the disaster. It turned out that only after Level 4 and above did it offer alternative solutions.
Upgrading level by level like this seems to be much more interesting than when he got the top configuration before.
After noon, Su Liu woke up from a nap and received three stacks of scrolls sent by Lao Li.
Su Liu unfolded it and saw that it was all about the interesting things that happened in Li Ang's manor over the past month.
Xun Ruozhang helped Su Liu spread the scroll on the table in the office hall.
There were densely written words on it, and just a glance at it would make one jump with anger.
Su Liu had a headache, so he lay in the rocking chair, closed his eyes, and asked Xun Ruozhang to read to him.
Xun Ruozhang picked up the first volume.
I just read two sentences and couldn't continue reading.
"If Lao Li dares to write, what else can you not dare to read?" Su Liu said with his eyes closed.
"...He dares to write, but does he dare to read?" Xun Ruozhang muttered softly. These words were like poisoned wine. She felt poisoned after reading just a few sentences.
"As a minister, what big scenes have you not seen? Why are you shy?" Su Liu said in surprise.
"I'm not shy, I just feel disgusted," Xun Ruozhang knew that Su Liu was not the kind of master who bullied the weak. As long as she made it clear that she didn't want to, Su Liu wouldn't force her.
"Forget it, you go down first," Su Liu really didn't make things difficult for her.
Xun Ruozhang immediately put down the scroll and ran away. She wanted to wash her eyes, she couldn't bear it anymore. As she walked out of the office hall, she happened to see Du Sha and Cheng Qin. Xun Ruozhang didn't have the ulterior motive of "I'd rather die than let my friend die," and immediately signaled them to follow her. The almanac said: Today is not a good day to meet with the city lord.
Su Liu was the only one left in the hall.
His Majesty the King came again to urge Su Liu to fulfill his promise, so Su Liu sent Qi Fengling out to act as a lobbyist.
It’s not that Su Liu is greedy for pleasure, he really has some things to arrange, so he has not set off yet.
Besides, it was agreed to be three months, and only more than two months have passed. The king is too impatient.
Su Liu drank a sip of tea, did a set of eye exercises, adjusted her mood, and picked up the scroll that she had just used to persuade Xun Ruozhang to quit.
This is the first volume written by Lao Li.
Let's call it the Human Nature Volume.
——The story begins after Su Liu left.
In the eyes of the people in the village, Lao Li is a somewhat smooth and inconspicuous Beta.
But it was this person who, without knowing what kind of magic potion he had given the Duke, actually made the leap to become a fifth-generation vampire, one level higher than the manager Ji in the manor.
But Lao Li is a Beta after all, and he cannot shake the position of Ji Guanshi.
"Is it just because his last name is Li? The same as the Duke's?"
"Maybe it's because I helped the Duke deliver sheep to his poor relatives last time, so I got involved with the Duke."
"This old fellow is really cunning. He made a big profit without making any noise."
"Old Li is a vampire. Let's go and beg him. Maybe he can help us."
"That's easy for you to think about. Don't you know that a Beta vampire can't convert a human into a vampire?"
"Hey, how could I not know? I was thinking of getting on good terms with Lao Li, and asking him to say a few good words for me in front of the Duke, so that I could become a vampire for once..."
Everyone was talking about it.
No matter how close the relationship with Lao Li was before, now everyone wants to bite off a piece of Lao Li.
These things did not concern Old Li. He became another steward in the manor, and Hu Sui also rose to prominence as the head of the manor under him. The day that Steward Li took office, the manor seemed to have changed.
The newly appointed Steward Li, who had taken away one-third of Steward Ji's power, was now sitting in the Steward's own courtyard, reviewing the young men in the manor. As he watched, he recalled the day he had been converted by the Duke.
That night, Li An asked him, "What's your name? Now that you're a vampire, it's not right to always call you Old Li, Old Li."
"My given name is An," Old Li bowed respectfully.
"Which An?" Li An's mouth twitched.
"Safe and sound," Lao Li replied.
"...Why don't you change your name?" Li An asked tentatively.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Li is a stubborn guy. He claimed that the name was given by his mother and refused to change it.
"...Then I'd better call you Lao Li, it's more intimate," Li An touched his nose.
The Duke's reaction was strange, and Old Li was puzzled.
At this time, Hu Sui pointed out a loophole in the list.
"What's the matter with this female Omega in her forties?" Old Li took it and took a look. This person happened to have come on the day when City Lord Su Liu left. She said she came to attend the funeral of Manager Gu's family. After she came, she actually didn't leave and was secretly kept by Manager Gu.
