He was lying on the sofa, feeling unable to calm down for a long time. He pulled out his phone from the side, looked at the time, and found that it was just 2:21 in the morning. In other words, from participating in this maze scene to returning to the human world, Just over two hours have passed.
Forget it, forget it, let’s go to sleep. Zhang Fan turned off his phone and slowly closed his eyes. I closed my eyes, and within a moment, sleepiness came over me.
At the moment when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly thought of the Sandman and wanted her to help him find a way. If he didn't restrain this inherently rebellious system, he was destined to have a difficult life in the future.
But just when Zhang Fan was about to call out Sandman's name, it was a step too late because he fell asleep first.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Fan was woken up by the alarm on his cell phone. He quickly got up and looked at the time, seeing that it was already 8:30 am.
Seeing that it was so late, Zhang Fan immediately cheered up, trotted to the bathroom, washed briefly, and then went to the master bedroom to help Chu Chu clean up.
At this time, only Su Mei'e, a fierce ghost, was left in the room to take care of Chu Chu. Calculating the time, Zhou Xiaojing should be back in a day or two.
At that time, the pressure on my side will be slightly reduced. After Chu Chu was settled, Zhang Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked out.
The system limits the blessing of physical strength, and he is really not used to it now. This time after returning to the human world for seven days, the system backpack, ghost frame, and physical strength cannot be used. Once in danger, it will be terrible.
After opening the door and walking out of the community, Zhang Fan went outside to have breakfast and planned to go to the Maoshan Incense Candle Shop to see if there were any customers.
Now, the New Year is over and the store needs to officially open. Otherwise, if you can't make ends meet, you won't be able to last long with the money you have.
After a while, Zhang Fan rode a shared bicycle to Maoshan Incense and Candle Store. Approaching the door of the store, he parked the shared bicycle, took out the key from his pocket, and planned to open the door.
But just as he opened the door, he heard a burst of soft footsteps behind him. Hearing this voice, Zhang Fan's face showed doubts. He turned his head to look, but three women appeared in his sight.
After seeing the appearance of the three people clearly, Zhang Fan couldn't help but suffocate his breathing, his expression suddenly changed, and he froze on the spot.
Although he did not recognize two of these three women, the leader among them, Zhang Fan, was still fresh in his memory.
No, it shouldn’t be said that the memory is still fresh, but that there is a psychological shadow. Because this woman is none other than Xu Meili, who came here with Zhou Wensen's mother.
The Xu Meili who asked herself to call her sister. Xu Meili is forty-five years old this year and is the chairman of a listed company. It is really scary that she is still unmarried at such a young age.
The last time we met, his eyes were nakedly provocative, and I wanted to eat him up in one bite. This is an old goblin, you must avoid it, otherwise you will die.
I'm still young, and I'm still a young man. I don't want to eat soft rice at such a young age. The saying that a kiss from a rich woman will give you nightmares all night long is no joke.
"Long time no see, little brother!" The fat on Xu Meili's face was trembling, almost crowded together, she smiled and said hello to Zhang Fan, and even gave her an affectionate wink.
Seeing this, Zhang Fan felt a chill in his heart, shivered, and was extremely annoyed. Why do you want me to go back to Maoshan Incense and Candle Shop?
It's okay now, I won't be able to run away if I get caught.
"Ahem, auntie, what's wrong with you this time?" Zhang Fan suppressed the discomfort in his heart and said hello out of politeness.
"Look, what do you call aunt? This is, everyone is one of us! Just call us sister!"
"Come, sister will introduce you to two best friends!" Xu Meili said with a smile. After he finished speaking, he pointed to an old woman with short hair and heavy makeup and a brown down jacket standing next to him, and explained: "This is Sister Hua. Her family runs a tea business and is very rich. She came here mainly to make money. Calculate the marriage for her daughter!"
"So that's it?!" Zhang Fan glanced at the woman named Sister Hua and nodded thoughtfully.
Good guy, thanks to Sister Hua, she seems to be over fifty at this age. Even calling her aunt feels too small.
"This is Sister Zheng! She is currently the director of our Dadong City Education Bureau! She mainly manages various educational undertakings in Dadong City schools!" Xu Meili pulled another woman next to her over.
This woman is wearing a white sweater and leather trousers. She is young and beautiful. Her hair is black and slender, and she looks full of vitality. Her skin is fair and smooth, and it seems like she can squeeze out water if she pinches it. She knows how to take care of her at first glance.
She seemed to be in her thirties, much younger than Xu Meili and Sister Hua.
Sister Zheng's appearance is very beautiful, with a little baby fat and a different kind of mature charm.
"Hello!" Zhang Fan smiled awkwardly without being rude.
"Excuse me...are you also here to calculate your fate?" Zhang Fan asked.
"No, I just came over to see the fun!" Sister Zheng smiled and didn't say much.
"Okay then! If we have anything to do, let's go in and talk first!" After hearing this, Zhang Fan sighed and exhaled helplessly.
He was blocked here today by three people from Xu Meili, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. Since I couldn't run away, I could only open the store to do business and try to send them away as soon as possible.
Walking into the store, Zhang Fan wanted to go to the water dispenser to get three cups of hot water, but as soon as he reached the edge, he saw that the bottled water was empty.
Helpless, he had no choice but to smile awkwardly, turned around and walked back.
"Sister Hua, could you please tell me your daughter's birthday?" Zhang Fan looked at Sister Hua and asked.
"Birthday and horoscope?" Sister Hua's eyes were stunned.
"It's the date of birth!" Zhang Fan explained.
"Well...my daughter was born on April 21, 1996." Sister Hua thought for a while and said.
"Okay, wait a moment, let me make some calculations!" Zhang Fan closed his eyes and began to pretend to make calculations.
Although he pretended to be so presentable, he was actually quite panicked and full of uneasiness. Because the ghost frame is locked by the system, I don't know if I can contact the old fairy.
If you can't contact Sai Laoxian, it will be really troublesome. Today's estimated marriage will probably not work out.
However, what he worried about did not happen. Soon, Sai Laoxian's voice also sounded in his mind.
"What's wrong with you young man?" Although the ghost frame was locked, he could still contact Sai Laoxian, but he couldn't be summoned to fight.
"Old Immortal, please help me, it's time for you to calculate your fate again!" Sai Lao Xian: "..."
"You young man, you don't know how to respect the old and love the young at all. You don't know how to think of me when you have nothing to do. Now when something happens, you think of me?" Sai Laoxian said a little dissatisfied, as if he was dissatisfied with Zhang Fan's attitude. Very dissatisfied.
"Ahem, aren't I busy? Sometimes I forget when I'm busy. I hope you, old man, don't blame me... don't blame me! I'm here to accompany you, right?" Zhang Fan apologized with a smile. He kept his attitude extremely low and was very polite.
The reason why he was so polite was because he spoke too aggressively and offended the system, causing the system backpack and ghost frame to be locked and unable to be used.
Now we can't let this happen again. If we offend Sai Laoxian again, it will be even worse.
You have to be coaxed, and you can’t let it go, you absolutely can’t let it go.
"This is a human saying, so I will reluctantly help you calculate your marriage!" Sai Laoxian was quite pleased with Zhang Fan's flattery, and his attitude became softer.
"Okay, thank you for your help!" Zhang Fan hurriedly thought to himself. About a minute passed before Sai Laoxian's voice sounded again, saying: "Forget it, her daughter's husband will appear soon, and he is very promising!"
"Then what? Is there anything else?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan's heart moved slightly and he hurriedly asked again. This kind of marriage is nothing. I'm afraid just anyone can make a comment, but it has no practical effect at all and is simply untenable.
What he wanted to ask for was critical information.
"How soon will it appear?" Zhang Fan asked.
"Now!! If you count from 1 to 10, it will appear!" Sai Laoxian said seriously.
"Holy shit, are you kidding me, so fast?!" Zhang Fan's eyes widened.
"Otherwise?" Sai Laoxian asked. Zhang Fan: "I know..." Zhang Fan slowly opened his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, looked at Sister Hua and said, "Forget it, your daughter's lover will appear soon! And he’s going to be very promising!”
"How fast?" Sister Hua asked, frowning slightly. She had heard this from many fortune tellers before.
People like them only know how to say things that sound good, otherwise they won't make any money at all. If it weren't for her best friend Xu Meili, who strongly supported her to come to this Maoshan Incense Candle Shop to have her fortune told by Zhang Fan, she would never have believed it normally.
In fact, most fortune-telling things are unreliable and belong to feudal superstition. She is a well-educated and successful person who generally only believes in science.
"If you count from 1 to 10, it will appear! If you don't believe me, you can count!" Zhang Fan described Sai Laoxian's words exactly.
As soon as these words came out, Sister Hua looked in disbelief. She felt that Zhang Fan was teasing her and mocking her IQ.
In fact, it's not just her who doesn't believe it, but Zhang Fan himself doesn't believe it either. And at this time, Zhang Fan had already started counting silently in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, he counted from 1 to 10. At this moment, a rapid ringtone rang from Sister Hua's pocket.
When Sister Hua heard the voice, she narrowed her eyes slightly and was a little stunned. She didn't expect that someone would call her at this juncture.
Taking out her cell phone from her pocket, Sister Hua opened the screen and saw that it was her precious daughter calling.
She didn't rush to get through, but glanced at Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan saw this and nodded indicatively.
"Huh!" Sister Hua breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't have much to say, so she had to answer the call. I hope this call is to announce the good news and not just to chat about nothing.
When the call was connected, Sister Hua smiled and asked lovingly: "Linlin, what's wrong? Why did you remember to call your mother?"
"Mom... I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not!" A girl's voice came from the other end of the phone, but her words were full of melancholy and hesitation.
"What's wrong?" Sister Hua looked suspicious.
"Mom...I recently found a partner. His hometown is from the countryside..." Linlin's voice was a little submissive, as if she was worried about something happening.
"Countryside?" Upon hearing these two words, Sister Hua's eyes changed. It's not that she looks down on the countryside, but there are very few promising people in the countryside.
Most of them are Phoenix men. Although she hoped that her daughter could find a suitable husband to marry, she had to find someone who was well-matched.
You can't just pick anyone up on the street and live a comfortable life. That would only wrong his precious daughter.
She is only a daughter, so we can't let anything happen to her.
"Linlin, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I will never agree to your being together!" Sister Hua said in a low voice with a smile on her face.
"Mom, to be honest, my partner is very promising and works in the national defense!" Linlin's voice paused, but she still told the truth.
"Hiss—" After hearing this, Zhang Fan couldn't help himself before Sister Hua could say anything. Working in the national defense means that the job you do is to protect your family and country.
This is truly promising and truly honorable. People who contribute to the country are great in themselves.
No wonder Sai Laoxian would say this. So promising! ! When she heard the word national defense, Sister Hua's frowned brows relaxed again, and her mood suddenly became happy: "Okay, if you work in the national defense, your character should not be mentioned! Then you guys, just look at everything first!" Those who join the national defense are all excellent in character and academics. They basically have no choice in terms of morality or personal qualities.
It can be said that the country has selected the best talents.
"Mom! Are you telling the truth?" Linlin looked overjoyed and shouted excitedly. At home, her mother's words work better than her father's.
Even if her father agrees, as long as her mother says no, nothing will happen. Now that her mother agrees, her father will have no problem.
"Don't worry, it's absolutely true. Okay, I still have something to do here, so I'll hang up now. I'll talk to you in detail when I get home in the evening!" After saying that, Sister Hua hung up the phone with a look of admiration on her face. He looked at Zhang Fan, gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, your calculations are really accurate!"
"It's not bad! So-so!" Zhang Fan smiled slightly, waved his hand modestly, and then pretended to be a worldly expert.
Seeing this scene, Sister Hua became even more convinced. The master is indeed a master.
"This is the reward! I hope I can accept it!" Suddenly, Sister Hua seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly took out a pile of money from her bag and handed it to Zhang Fan's hand.
Zhang Fan glanced at her, his expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Sister Hua, you're welcome!" After saying this, Zhang Fan stretched out his right hand and put away the pile of money without leaving a trace.
"Huahua, let me tell you. Brother Zhang, your fortune-telling skills are incomparable to those of ordinary people. You still don't believe it!" Xu Meili laughed heartily.
In addition to her, Sister Zheng on the side also had twinkling eyes, and she became very curious about Zhang Fan. This guy doesn't look very old, but he actually has such tricks.
If he is really that powerful, then he must be able to easily resolve even my recent unhappiness.
Maybe, I should ask him for advice.
