"Bang!"
The muzzle of the gun sprayed out a half-meter-long blue flame, directly hitting the Tin Man who was the target. A hole as big as a bowl opened in the chest, and all the stuffing inside spurted out from behind.
In the shooting room of the underground auction house, the female receptionist looked at Chen Xing in shock as she put away the sniper rifle, and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you a guard-level adult?" The opponent was destroyed with one shot. Tin Man, this power is really terrifying. The Tin Woodman's resistance ability is designed based on the second-level psychic armor and 35 points of muscle strength, and the opponent is not using a heavy sniper rifle known for its power.
She had been a receptionist here for six years and had seen countless warriors. She knew the strength of elite warriors, so she mistakenly thought that Chen Xing was a strong guard-level warrior.
But in fact, Chen Xing used a trio, which directly tripled the power and penetrated the Tin Man in one go.
"Do you want to date me?" Chen Xing asked with a grin.
The female receptionist's face immediately turned red. She wanted to agree but was a little coy at the same time. When she wanted to speak, the other person's figure had disappeared at the end of the aisle.
After buying the weapons, Chen Xing only had more than three hundred gold coins in cash. But things were going well, and he was in a good mood, clearing away the gloom of going out in the morning. On the way back to Nuanxinlou, he turned into a snack shop and bought a box of chocolates from Nakamura Foods.
Just like the He tribesmen's carefulness, the things are packaged beautifully. An iron box with a ribbon on it. The lid is translucent, and you can see the black, white and pink heart-shaped chocolates inside. But the price was not cheap, costing him two gold coins.
After walking along the street for half an hour, he turned into the red light district. After walking for a while, he came to a small two-story building. The door was open and the front hall was empty. He walked in and heard voices coming from the kitchen.
"Xue Fei, are you settled?" The voice was a little rough and belonged to Su Muchu.
"Well, it will be fine soon..." Su Xuefei's voice said, "Ah, how much is this month's electricity bill? I haven't even factored it in yet..."
"Let me see..." There was a sound of turning paper inside, "Three gold, six silver, five coppers and two li."
"Adding three hundred sixty-five two, the total is seventy-nine, ninety-five, including rent, water, electricity, management fees and taxes, a total of seventy-nine gold, nine silver, eight copper and five cents." Su Xuefei's voice.
"Alas..." Su Muchu inside sighed, "The days are getting harder and harder. The three-month guarantee is about to expire. There are five of us here and another sum of money. Those businessmen are too black-hearted... "
Hearing this, Chen Xing couldn't help being surprised. It turned out that the mother and daughter were refugees. He originally thought that they were citizens, but they were only deprived of it later when something happened. Now it seems that it is completely different. Refugees cannot stay in the city for a long time and need to find a guarantor, and the stay cannot exceed three months at a time.
As he was now, the old packhorse was only guaranteed for a month. Once the deadline is up, he must leave the city immediately, otherwise he will be caught by the patrol and will not only be forcibly deported, but also fined. Moreover, the clear network system is extremely powerful, making it almost impossible for illegal residents to hide. As soon as the time passes, a patrol will arrive within five minutes.
The most common way is to find your local chamber of commerce. They have dedicated people to do this, charge a certain commission, and then arrange for businessmen in the association to guarantee it.
The wandering orioles are engaged in the skin and meat business. Although their income seems to be high, they are exploited here and there, and there is not much left.
"Mom, how about I..." Su Xuefei hesitated to speak.
"No, Mom can still hold on. You can study well with peace of mind, and Mom will find you a good family in the future." Su Muchu said.
"The young master of the Hoover family is chasing me, or..."
Su Xuefei was interrupted by Su Muzhu mid-sentence, "It's useless. How much money can a collateral descendant have and what kind of life can he bring to you? And he is only two years older than you. He is eighteen years old this year." , your hair has not even grown, and you have to listen to your family for everything, how can you help? Also, you are not much younger than him, will they still remember you when they get married? "
"Mr. Moore, he seems to be treating me..."
"Oh, that's too old. He's already over eighty. I don't feel sorry for you. Moreover, the water in the Moore family is too deep and the family has a big business. Even if you follow the old man, if he leaves in the future, you may not be able to What benefits do we get? Let’s avoid messing with the Moore family. That Roy is too smart and is notoriously cruel. If we touch his cake, it will be divided into several pieces and thrown into the sewer tomorrow. "
Listening to the words of the two mothers and daughters, Chen Xing felt cold and uncomfortable. He turned around and wanted to leave, but heard someone talking about himself inside again, so he stopped and continued to eavesdrop.
"Don't be obsessed with that kid. Although I think he is pretty good, he is still a poor guy." Su Muchu taught him a lesson.
"He, he is rich." Su Xuefei argued.
"What kind of money can he have? Isn't it just a little money for selling his life? He is a refugee and a mercenary, just like your damn father. In the end, he died on the battlefield and left nothing for us mother and daughter. He felt comfortable. He stretched out his legs and it was over, leaving us alone..." There was a bit of sadness and sadness in Su Muchu's voice.
"Mom..." Su Xuefei was a little anxious, "I, I didn't have anything to do with him..."
Chen Xing shook his head secretly and was about to leave, but he suddenly froze when he heard a new topic.
"Oh, by the way, has that kid seen you before?" Su Muchu asked doubtfully.
"No." Su Xuefei said blankly.
"Yeah, I haven't heard you talk about this person before, so I feel very strange. Have you noticed..." Su Muzhu's voice became smaller, "The way he looks at you, it's like he has known you a long time ago. .”
"Mom, what you said is so scary." Su Xuefei's voice also became softer, "I really haven't seen him. Do you think it's an illusion?"
"That's probably true. I've had too many bad things lately and I can't rest well."
Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go upstairs. But halfway through, he came down again. He felt that he should work hard, even if it was for the sake of the love he had, he should not give up easily. At least, he wanted to say everything he needed to say. As for how to decide, that is their own business.
He deliberately stepped up his steps to attract the attention of the two mothers and daughters, and then walked into the kitchen.
Perhaps because they were worried that the conversation just now was overheard, both mother and daughter seemed a little embarrassed. Chen Xing smiled slightly and put the chocolate on the table.
"I just got back and this is for you."
"Thank you." Su Xuefei smiled warmly and nodded to Chen Xing.
"Oh, I've cost you money again. You're welcome. Hey, what brand is this? Oh, it's from Zhongcun Food. It's such a waste. I might as well buy two big chickens..." Su Muzhu said nonchalantly.
"I heard everything you just said." Chen Xing said suddenly.
Su Muchu's voice stopped suddenly and she looked at him blankly. Su Xuefei's face turned red, she lowered her head and tugged at the corners of her clothes, as if trying to find a hole to crawl into.
Chen Xing's face remained as usual and he said to himself, "Actually, I don't think we have to pursue those too luxurious lives. Just be ordinary."
"Isn't it good to find a job and live a stable life? I will have two more children in the future and watch them grow up..." Chen Xing said sincerely.
"Haha..." Su Muchu sneered and interrupted Chen Xing, "Then find a mercenary like you to live in the slums of Edge Town, eat unpalatable food, and be afraid every day, when will your husband... If you die on the battlefield, when will someone break in and commit violence..." She stared at the mercenary in front of her and asked, "Is that so?"
For a moment, Chen Xing was speechless. All the well-thought-out words turned out to be useless.
