After leaving the alley, Lin Li encountered another uninvited guest.
A young man in pure white clothes was standing quietly at the entrance of the alley, bathed in the cold moonlight, as if he was a little impatient, and he seemed to be stamping his feet in time.
The moment he saw the man's back, Lin Li showed the steel rod and iron bucket, squinted and looked at him.
This remote exit was completely inconsistent with his clothes.
The visitor was obviously waiting for him on purpose.
The other party seemed to hear the footsteps of Lin Li and Tom. He turned his head, looked at Lin Li, smiled, and said hello.
"Hello, Hua Chengyu."
Lin Li's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew this person once.
When Lin Li was singing on stage, he looked at the guests below and saw the person who looked at him and raised his glass.
So the mastermind behind everything is not the employees of the Dark Night Restaurant, but him.
Lin Li raised the steel rod without hesitation and held it in front of him.
Zhao Tiezhu is indeed right about one thing. The confidence and indifference on the enemy's face can indeed be easily seen.
Lin Li had no doubt that the person in front of him had sufficient background or strength.
"Hello, it's me. Do you have anything to say?" Lin Li said.
"No, no, no, I think you must have made a mistake." Looking at Lin Li's movements and expression, the other party seemed to understand Lin Li's thoughts, chuckled, and waved to Lin Li, "I have no ill intentions towards you. "
"It's hard for me to believe in this environment right now."
In order to cooperate with Lin Li, Tom also arched his body and yawned, making the cat look less imposing.
"Looking at the result now, you alone defeated that group of people?" the other party asked.
"Did you send it?"
"No, of course not, I wouldn't take the initiative to do such a thing just for a cat, it's not polite at all.
I originally wanted to come to you directly, but I noticed this group of people, so I decided to wait.
My original plan was that if they snatched this cat from your hands, I would snatch it back for you and return it to you, and make a favor while I was alive.
Of course, if you die, then I will have to keep the things you took back for you. Isn’t that too much? "
The other party shrugged and said lightly.
"Then do I still have to thank you?"
Lin Li was just more vigilant.
Lin Lixin said that Tom would be his if he died, but he remained skeptical about the other part that Tom would be given to him alive.
"No, after all, I didn't help you with anything." The other party shook his head.
"If nothing happens, I'll leave first." Lin Li said bluntly.
"Of course I want to come to you for something." The man stretched out his hand to block Lin Li's front, "Are you selling this cat?"
"Not for sale."
"Okay, I think so too. Then can you invite you and your cat to give me a private concert? I admire your musical talents very much?"
"Is it an invitation or coercion?"
"Of course it's an invitation, I'll pay you."
"Ah--"
Lin Li sneered.
I am no longer the same person I was twenty-four hours ago. In addition to the thousands of stored-value cards I returned to Zhao Tiezhu and others, I already have more than three thousand in pawns, and I have a relatively stable source of income.
We are already a well-off family, who would give up for a few buckets of rice? Who are you looking down on?
"It will take about half a day to play. How about I give you ten thousand? If it's not enough, you can add more." The man said tentatively.
"Ha-ahem!" The sneer stuck.
If it breaks, the bait thrown by the opponent is not a few buckets of rice, but dozens of buckets of rice.
"Twenty thousand."
Lin Li stretched out two fingers.
"No problem, then it will be tomorrow?" The man nodded without any hesitation.
Lin Li let out an annoyed sigh in his heart - the price was too low. It turned out that money in the eyes of rich people was not money at all.
"When will it be tomorrow? Where is the specific location?" But Lin Li stopped changing the price he shouted out and asked instead.
"Let's start in the afternoon, and the end time is to be determined." The man fell into thinking, and then said: "The initial estimate is about a dozen songs, and the limit is twenty. During this period, I may need to explain and teach.
If I need you and your cats to play and teach more, I'll add money.
As for the location, let’s just choose it at my house. My house is pretty big, so it’s no problem. "
Lin Li: "..."
The figure of Brother Jie came into mind. Could this pretty boy be...
But is the other party's purpose to learn these 'original' songs?
"The time is fine, can you change the place? For example, to a public place, I have to consider my own safety." Lin Li said bluntly, not shying away.
"You don't have to worry about this. I can provide an additional four thousand later and form an agreement on our ID cards. By then, this transaction will be protected by Dawn City, and I don't have to do anything to you. After all, we are going to Dawn City." The city’s blacklist is really troublesome.”
The man understood Lin Li's taboo and spoke as if he had been prepared.
Lin Li didn't say anything, and directly searched the relevant content of Dawn City's notarization on his browser.
"If you just want to listen to music, you can actually come to the Night Restaurant. Why do you have to spend a lot of money for a private concert."
After reading it, Lin Li was much more relieved about the safety of this transaction, but he still had this doubt.
“Because then I will need to adjust your repertoire, duration, segments, and even consultation based on my personal preferences, which will be very troublesome.
Moreover... it will involve some of my personal privacy, and it will be inconvenient to show it in public. "
the man said.
"Okay." After thinking for a while, Lin Li nodded and accepted the deal.
"Send me your home address. I will go to your home after lunch tomorrow."
"Add your contact information."
The two people added each other through ID cards, and Lin Li also learned that the other person's name was Li Oupian.
"Lin Li, the stage name Hua Chengyu sounds better."
"The specific agreement will probably be sent to your ID later. Remember to check it. I'm going back first. See you tomorrow."
Li Oupian yawned, walked to a car parked opposite, waved to Lin Li, and left.
So Li Oupian found this place by following his city patrol car in a private car?
Lin Li shrugged, then sighed.
On the first day I took Tom and Jerry out to make money, I didn't expect that so many things happened.
But for now, things are moving in a good direction.
"Let's go home! I'll treat you all to a big meal tonight!"
Lin Li said to Tom next to him and Jerry, who had been listening inside his collar with one hand on his ear.
Since I don’t have a car, I can only walk home.
One person, one cat and one mouse, walking together in a deserted street as if they don't recognize each other.
--
Lin Li was walking alone on the street below his home, carrying a lot of things in his hands.
Tom and Jerry are already at home.
Lin Li actually went back home, but some of the ingredients at home made even the cat and mouse dissatisfied.
Most of the high-quality things were consumed by Lin Li as a reward for himself at the end of the first two copies.
The rest of the food, while plentiful, was ordinary and basic.
In this way, it is not considered a reward meal, but can only be regarded as an ordinary meal.
Anyway, he made some money, so Lin Li went downstairs again to buy some ingredients and some delicacies from Dawn City.
A fierce reward!
Myself and Tom and Jerry had a really hard time tonight!
The three of us are really awesome.
In addition to a large bag of ingredients added to the refrigerator, Lin Li's right hand held three small bags of meat skewers covered in sauce.
It's Duobaolong's meat skewers, which are said to be extremely delicious.
Lin Li had seen this thing on the advertisements and user recommendations of the id watch browser.
A small bag costs five hundred.
Only three bags, one month's protection fee is gone.
However, this is far from the most expensive.
"It turns out that I am still so far away from being well-off."
With this thought, Lin Li bent down and opened the door with his irises.
"Sorry, I went to the wrong door."
Lin Li said apologetically.
Looking at the Syrian war-damaged decoration style throughout the house, Lin Li was very sure that this was not his home.
My home didn't look like a ruin with pieces of furniture all over the floor and fire and smoke all around.
Lin Li closed the door and continued walking upstairs.
I must have gone to the wrong floor.
After taking a step, Lin Li paused.
"..."
You opened the door with your iris!
broken!
Lin Li quickly turned around and reopened the door.
Ruins are still ruins, and gun smoke is still gun smoke.
It still doesn't look like my home.
On both sides of the living room, there are bunkers stacked with various furniture.
A heavily armed British Shorthair cat and a heavily armed brown mouse were engaged in a fierce exchange of fire.
Tom threw a grenade at the opponent, then covered his ears and lay on the ground.
But Jerry was prepared and used a pan to shoot the grenade back to Tom.
Red Wolf, are you Red Wolf?
"boom--"
In front of Lin Li's eyes, Tom was completely covered in darkness by a grenade.
This brings out the whiteness of the whites of his eyes.
Tom shook and his coat color returned to normal, anger highlighted on his face.
So... Tom took out an RPG from his back, emerged from the bunker, and aimed at Jerry's location.
"Your mother! Stop it, you two!"
Lin Li felt like he was watching a cartoon, and he should have enjoyed it.
But after realizing that this is my home, the cartoon suddenly stopped being interesting.
He dropped the ingredients in his hand, cursed loudly and rushed forward.
…
Speaking dirty words to family members was intolerable in Lin Li's eyes.
Except, of course, if your family is Tom and Jerry.
"You two really deserve to die -" Lin Li said sadly.
Tom and Jerry were squatting in the corner. Tom had a water bottle on his head and Jerry had a cotton swab on his head.
They held their chins with one hand and stared straight ahead.
There was a white smell floating past the tip of my nose, and my saliva was already flowing all over the floor.
"Want to eat it?" Lin Li asked as he took a big bite of Duobaolong's meat.
The cat and mouse nodded frequently.
"Fuck you! Stand up for me! Whoever drops something on his head will be served with a steel rod!"
Lin Li waved the steel rod in his hand and smashed it hard on the side.
Tom and Jerry could only hang their heads and droop their eyes.
"I've only been away for a few dozen minutes, and you're going to tear my house apart! Who did this?"
Tom and Jerry pointed at each other.
"He was the one who struck first! I was forced to fight back, so I must punish him first!"
"It doesn't matter." Lin Li, who was sitting in the ruins, said with a smile, "When you destroy this home like this, it doesn't matter who started first."
"Article 4 of the Family Law: Anyone who participates in house demolition projects will starve to death if they skip two or three clauses!"
The only thing that made Lin Li happy was that the battle between Tom and Jerry did not cause any complaints or panic.
The neighbor seemed completely unaware.
Maybe some rule-based ability was activated again, Lin Li thought sadly.
We all know that pets like to tear down a home, but these two in front of them want to destroy this home.
In front of Tom and Jerry, Lin Li finished his portion of meat skewers.
Lin Li's target looked at the other two bags of meat skewers, pretending to eat them.
Tom and Jerry were salivating and looking sad.
Looking at the pitiful expressions of the cat and mouse in front of him, Lin Li finally just sighed and pointed to the ruins behind him:
"Tom, Jerry, the home you live in now is different from the one you lived in before. It will not recover automatically and cannot be played like this. You should restrain your character a little..."
Lin Li didn't know how to explain to them.
After all, "Tom and Jerry" is a unit drama. No matter how the family is destroyed, it will be the same in the next episode.
Lin Li could also understand why Tom and Jerry fought like this during the dozens of minutes he was away.
The ease of irritating each other may be part of their ability towards each other.
Unless they are completely separated, it is almost inevitable.
Lin Li stumbled while describing. Tom and Jerry fell into thinking, and then they seemed to understand. A lightbulb appeared above their heads at the same time.
The cat and mouse looked at each other, smiled, then stood up together and pushed Lin Li into the sleeping room.
"Give us a few minutes."
With this look on their faces, Tom and Jerry closed the door.
Lin Li raised his eyebrows. Could it be that Tom and Jerry had a way to restore this war-damaged home?
Also...it's not impossible!
When the door was opened again, the roughly restored home appeared in front of Lin Li.
But it's only roughly restored.
Although the furniture placed in its original position is still broken, it has regained its original shape with the help of tape and glue.
"It could have been repaired directly, but today we can only repair it here. Tomorrow Jerry and I will completely restore our home."
Tom and Jerry stood in front of Lin Li as if they were taking credit.
But at this moment, the cats and mice were sweating heavily on their heads.
With standard toothy smiles, Tom and Jerry pointed at the two bags of meat skewers at the same time.
"In this case, can we eat it?"
"Eat, eat."
Lin Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know how to express his current emotions, so he had to cover his forehead with his hands and waved to Tom Jerry to let him go.
Tom and Jerry dragged their tired bodies but began to enjoy the food with satisfaction.
Their fatigue values don't seem to be recovering.
Lin Li called up the system's [Picture Book] and updated many abilities.
…
"Under normal conditions, Tom and Jerry's abilities have a limit. When they reach the limit, they will not be able to display most of their abilities and need to rest and recover."
…
So is it because you are too tired today and your abilities have been stretched to the limit?
What situation is an abnormal state, anger or anger?
Lin Li shook his head, chuckled and sighed.
"Tom, Jerry, remember to put the garbage in the trash can after eating. Go to bed early. We have work tomorrow. After work tomorrow, we will take you to eat something better than this."
"OK."
