"Meow, open the door."
Before I could sleep for a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?"
Lu Ping'an was a little unhappy. He had just laid down and refused to let anyone catch up on his sleep.
"Me. Your leeks, the leeks box has arrived."
Lu Ping'an was so frightened that he suddenly woke up and his vest was sweating.
Chinese chives? Does she know how I miss her? Or is there some more advanced mind-reading skill? In the world of 1998, there was no such thing as leeks!
Lu Ping'an opened the door silently, and what greeted him was the flattering smile of a certain woman who came to add BUFF.
She was holding a bag of breakfast and smiled.
"You haven't had breakfast yet, I brought some for you along the way."
She smiled very proudly, even a little bit shy.
Yesterday, she got some supplements from her brother, and she can afford breakfast again! Human breakfast!
Lu Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't encounter the poisonous second time traveler, and he opened the door.
"Let's eat together. I have some milk and bread here."
"No, it's not as delicious as the biscuits. I want to keep it in my stomach...cough, no need, I've already eaten it. Besides, you also know that milk is not suitable for me, right?"
This time, the girl took the initiative to hold her little paw and move her little fist up and down like a lucky cat.
Some things are difficult to hide. Since we may cooperate for a long time in the future, it is better to be more honest.
"Anyway, he should have seen through it yesterday, Meow. He seems to be quite honest so far. He shouldn't be a bad person."
The girl's white cat ears are also exposed, and they twitch together with her little tail, making her even more lively and cute.
"Oh, even cats are lactose intolerant? Interesting, what about catnip?"
The young man asked casually.
The girl froze immediately, her tail stood straight up, and her ears became furry.
The look in her eyes was full of vigilance, the way a girl looks at a suspected criminal.
"The last person who tried to put catnip in my diet is still in the hospital!"
It was quite merciful, but he was not beaten to death?
At this moment, Lu Ping'an became more and more determined to hide his "truth".
No wonder others say that "innate abilities" are the biggest secret. For a beast shifter like Shui Yun, just by knowing their abilities, they naturally reveal additional weaknesses.
"Actually, it's nothing. There are just a few more things that can't be eaten. Her sense of smell should be good and she won't be infected casually... But what if it was made into a spray? Or placed in the water in the bathroom. It would be interesting. I want to see it. .”
Random thoughts were running through his head, but Lu Pingan smiled very friendly.
He ignored the other party's warning and planned to go to the pet store when he had time to add some materials.
"...By the way, I also have a big cat at home, why don't you give it a try. Forget it, she just looks like a cat. This kind of thing is not even humiliating. Besides, I have to be a little nicer to her recently. "
He was sitting at the dining table in the living room, enjoying the breakfast delivered to his door.
The door over there was still closed, and Xia Qin still didn't go home.
"It seems like she's going to work overtime and go crazy."
He was eating the leek box, but the girl kept circling the table, unable to stop, unable to stop talking, but she could still pretend to be calm, and her tail kept wagging.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business first. Have you brought the things?"
Lu Pingping put down his chopsticks with his mouth full of oil.
"I brought it here. It's very expensive. Can you share it a little bit?"
With a sad face, the girl tried to muddle through and modify her previous agreement.
"Then forget it, there is no need to trade..."
"Snapped!"
A stack of contracts was smashed on the table, and the girl opened it angrily.
"I got it from a familiar contractor. He gave me a discounted price of 300. The confidential content is the details of your and my abilities. If you violate the contract, you will be warned with a red letter for one year. If there are no problems, just sign it."
Contractor, or contractor, is a branch of the scholar path, a very practical second-level professional.
Its professional ability can turn a "verbal contract" into a "certainly binding contract."
Lu Pingan flipped through it to make sure there was no hidden content, and signed it after a few clicks.
Red letter warning? The use of any supernatural ability comes with a price.
The price of this "contract" is borne jointly by the person who made the contract and the signer of the contract.
He may be able to come up with a powerful contract of "Those who break the oath will die", but he will inevitably have to bear the price of killing one person.
A contract of that level was definitely not something a poor girl like Shui Yun could afford.
The so-called "red letter warning" is a warning against oaths that has stood the test of time and has the lowest cost and the most serious consequences.
"The contract period is one year, and the punishment period for breaking the oath is also one year. If you violate the contract, you will have a 'betrayer' deficit on your face, which cannot be covered up. If you don't want society to die, let's keep each other's information secret."
Since the power of the contract also comes from the signer himself, the curse on oneself is difficult to wash away, even if it is just a painless deficit.
And in the world of secret keepers that values credit and commitment, the cost of becoming a liar is close to social death... That will make everyone around you reconsider their attitude towards you.
The seemingly harmless red letter warning contract is actually more effective than the low-level curse, at least until the social order collapses.
It was Lu Ping'an's idea to sign the confidentiality contract. He had a lot of things hidden in him, and the more he used his abilities, the more things he would reveal. He needed to avoid risks in advance.
Of course, he had no such experience, and it was Chris who made the suggestion.
Kris-chan must have had selfish motives. Lu Pingan only decided to take the approach after repeated deliberation and determined that it should be harmless... After returning from the scene of the case, her attitude became much friendlier.
The contract item stipulates "information related to the capabilities of both parties", which means that even if Lu Ping'an comes up with new capabilities, the other party must keep it secret within one year... That means that in addition to keeping it secret, it also goes deeper Possibility of cooperation.
Lu Ping'an has a plan, a long-term plan that can theoretically lead to a win-win situation. It requires a few tool cats... ahem, trustworthy teammates.
The little girl didn't think that far ahead, she was just heartbroken about the extra expense of the contract.
She thinks why this man is such a bitch, he still doesn't trust her, and his favorability is down! down! .
The most egregious thing is that he has to pay extra money from his side and is not willing to share the contract fee! Don't allow yourself to be corrupt.
Well, yes, be greedy, these are two contracts instead of one.
The Lei family brothers and sisters have brought over the contract. Naturally, it was brother Lei Huoyan who paid for it, but if Lu Ping'an is willing to share a little, there is no need to detail who will get the money.
Looking at the sulky little girl with bulging cheeks, Lu Pingan also had some additional thoughts.
"It seems that you are short of money?"
"...Isn't this your fault?"
"You don't have to use it at all. I don't need anyone here."
Lei Shuiyun looked at him, grinding her teeth silently, and then tried her best to smile.
"You think too much, senior brother, junior sister, I have always been grateful to you. It's just that I don't have enough money now."
"That's good. I have a purchase order here. Can you help me? 300 yuan for errands."
"300?! So nice? Just to run an errand?"
Lei Shuiyun took the documents and opened them. They were all things she had never heard of.
"The hermaphrodite strain of Snow Mountain Bitterflower, the seeds of white Datura grass, the rhizome of Ant Paradise Tree...Huh? These seem to be magical plants. Do you plan to develop a magic potion? Or should you take the gardener's path, that is not a logistical path? ......"
Facing the girl's question, Lu Ping'an just smiled and did not answer.
This time, it was Lei Shuiyun's turn to stick out his tongue in embarrassment and lower his head as an apology.
It is the most fundamental rule of the secret keeper not to pursue the opponent's intelligence, let alone inquire about the opponent's abilities and paths.
Even if you are given a commission such as a purchase order, unless it is obviously contraband, the veteran will not ask questions at all. It is obvious that Lei Shuiyun is not mature enough.
"It shouldn't be difficult to get it in the morning. It's not a rare item. Your brother should have channels. I'm restricted from going out, otherwise I would go by myself."
You can make money just by running errands, so there is no reason to refuse.
But when Lei Shuiyun got the order and was about to go out, he was stopped by Lu Pingan who remembered something.
"Wait a minute, I forgot something important...Okay, go and come back quickly."
"Catnip!!"
Looking at the last three words added, Lei Shuiyun's cute little face was instantly distorted.
She meowed angrily, her teeth itching with hatred, and she glared at Lu Pingan, whose face was filled with joy... But she instinctively realized that no matter what she said, the other party would return the favor even more happily.
For such a bastard, ignoring him might be the best choice. Finally, he forced out a sentence.
"...I'll be quick."
She was about to go out angrily. Lu Ping'an casually added a BUFF to her and asked her to deliver it quickly, but suddenly she remembered something.
"Remember to give me the invoice later, I'm afraid you will be embezzled."
"How can there be an invoice when there is a black market for this kind of thing!"
"Oh, forget it...but catnip is sold in pet stores, so there must be a receipt!"
"Clang!"
She didn't answer. Judging from the force of her closing the door and the sound of her footsteps going downstairs, she was quite angry.
"Haha, she will be suspicious if you put a sprayer or a bottle of water on the table from now on... Next time you go to the gym, bring her a drink, buy some expensive sports drinks, and see if she is willing to throw them away. "
After completing his daily task (bullying the kitten), Lu Pingan focused on business.
"As planned, through the kitten, the news that I am going to take the path of a logistics gardener has been conveyed. Then, it will be a happy harvest time."
It's past nine o'clock, another 24 hours have passed, and it's the happy time to harvest leeks.
As soon as the system started settling, he was stunned.
[Acquired a small amount of experience in the black iron-level spell 'Spider Walk', the current progress is 11/100.]
"I'll go, no wonder the little kitten endures the humiliation so much and breaks through to become a real professional in one night? The awakening spell is not Shuchichi?"
