At seven o'clock in the evening, the sun disappeared, and the sky was burning with unfinished fire clouds.
The road is bustling with traffic, the lights are shining, and there are constant beeps.
On the non-motorized lanes, one after another, the delivery boys rode electric donkeys and ran in all directions.
One of them, heading due east, passed through the smoke and smoke emanating from the shops on the roadside. He couldn't help himself and bought ten roasted sweet potatoes. He smacked his lips all the way and rode his bicycle into an old community called Rongyue Huating.
When he stopped in front of the old-looking villa, Su Mo walked down carrying the last roasted sweet potato, threw the remaining garbage into the trash can fifteen meters away, strode to the security door, and pressed his fingerprint to open the door. .
With a soft "beep" sound, the door opened, and at a glance, Xiao Meng had his hands behind his back, his head lowered, standing obediently on the dining table, being scolded.
The handmaiden crossed her hands and held up the two small watermelons on her chest. Countless hairs made of black mist behind her were dancing in the air, as if she wanted to hang Xiaomeng up and beat her.
"What did this girl do again?"
Su Mo asked in surprise.
Why do I see this little guy being beaten every three days?
"You let her speak for herself."
The hand girl said angrily.
Xiao Meng raised her chubby little face, turned to look at Su Mo, flattened her mouth, and said in an aggrieved voice:
"I just ate a chestnut secretly."
"Chestnut?"
Su Mo's eyes swept over a plate of chestnut roast chicken, and he saw clearly:
"If you just ate a chestnut secretly, your sister-in-law would definitely not be angry. You must have done something else, right?"
Xiao Meng's eyes wandered and she said with a guilty conscience:
"Just, I accidentally choked while eating..."
The hand girl almost laughed angrily at her:
"Did you choke? You almost choked yourself to death!
When I saw you lying on the table and rolling your eyes, my heart went cold.
No one is trying to rob you, so why are you in such a hurry?
Tell me yourself, is it wrong? "
"I was wrong."
Xiao Meng lowered his head, looking dejected.
Su Mo couldn't help but feel dumbfounded when he heard this.
Although Xiao Meng is a weirdo, a rather special kind of weirdo, and her origins are also very mysterious, but after all, her strength is low, and she is only a junior level now. With her size, even a small dog may not be able to beat her.
And unlike Yin Mei, she is a monster with a physical body, so she can also be hurt by physical attacks, such as data cables, rubber bands, nail clippers, lighters, etc. She brings pain.
In the past, this little guy had adventures around the house, was clumsy and reckless, and smashed himself into a pile of parts several times. Thanks to the handy girl's ingenuity, she was able to make it complete every time. If he was allowed to do it, I guess There are either fewer parts or more parts.
Life crises like today have not happened before. I thought it was outrageous that she was almost crushed to death by a book of Cihai last month, but she never thought that one day she would almost choke to death on a chestnut.
If she really died like this, all the weirdos in the world would feel humiliated by her.
Shaking his head and turning his thoughts back, Su Mo's throat couldn't help but squirm as he looked at the twelve sumptuous dishes on the table, including chestnut roasted chicken, steamed sea bass, pork belly, and boiled pork slices.
It seems that the hand girl took his noon instructions to heart and actually cooked him such a sumptuous dinner. If it were placed in an ordinary family, it would be almost a New Year's Eve dinner.
This is not to say that ordinary people cannot cook so many dishes on weekdays, but because cooking these dishes takes a lot of time.
Even if Su Mo has never cooked before, he knows that just processing the ingredients before cooking takes a lot of time. Ordinary people simply won't waste so much energy. If you have that time, wouldn't it be more convenient to go out for a meal?
When we arrived at his place, although it was not as rich as usual, there were five dishes and one soup at the minimum, and he had to cook new dishes every day, which was really not easy.
Su Mo felt a little emotional in his heart. On the side, the handmaid who had trained Xiao Meng to be honest walked up to him, reached out and took the coat he took off, and asked in a soft voice:
"Why did you come back so early today?"
There was a hint of unknown joy in his tone.
Su Mo didn't notice it and replied while taking off his shoes:
"Well, I've been busy for too long today and I'm a little tired. I might as well get off work early to give myself a little vacation."
"It's just the right time to come back."
The hand girl handed over the slippers and said with a smile:
"The dishes have just been prepared, and there is still mutton soup simmering in the pot. There is no problem in eating it now."
"Then let's eat now. There are too many things going on today, and I'm almost starving."
The black mist on the hand girl's body slightly rippled, and she quickly swept into the kitchen without any further delay.
Xiao Meng stood on the dining table, her dark eyes rolling, glancing at the bag in his hand from time to time, and said obediently:
"Brother Su Mo, what are you carrying? Do you want me to help you carry it? I'm very strong!"
Su Mo glanced at her sideways:
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little guy who can't even push Cihai?"
Xiao Meng suddenly blushed:
"I didn't push it seriously! And I've eaten a lot during this period! I must be much stronger now!"
"hehe."
Su Mo came to the dining table and sat down. He opened the bag and took out the roasted sweet potato inside. He raised his hand and peeled off the crispy black skin of the sweet potato, revealing the golden and steaming honey flesh. The sweet fragrance in the room became more and more intense. .
Xiaomeng ran forward, swallowed again and again, and asked eagerly:
"This roasted sweet potato should be delicious, right?"
"I don't know, let me try it for you."
Su Mo opened his mouth and swallowed it whole.
Little Dream:"?"
Su Moba sighed, nodded and said:
"not bad."
Xiaomeng was about to cry.
"I'll bring one for you tomorrow."
Xiaomeng's tearful expression immediately stopped, she stretched out her little finger and said:
"Lagou, don't lie to me."
"Hook."
While Su Mo was pulling the hook, he was thinking about what to buy this girl tomorrow.
Chestnuts can make you choke, and sweet potatoes are probably even worse. You have to switch to something easy to stomach.
Just as he was thinking about it, the hand girl came over with a large plate of mutton soup.
All the dishes were ready. Su Mo picked up the full 4-liter rice cooker pot and started eating directly with the table full of sumptuous dishes.
Xiaomeng squatted next to his children's bowl, trying to dig chestnuts secretly with a spoon.
As a result, the hand girl turned her head and looked at it. With a flick of her little hand, she inserted it directly into the plate next to her. With a sad face, she scooped out a piece of red meat.
"I checked specifically today and found that many primary schools in the city have opened online classes, and many first grade students can attend them."
The hand girl said to Su Mo with a slightly hesitant expression:
"But Xiaomeng's foundation is too poor and she can't even recognize all the letters. She may not be suitable for being sent to primary school."
Su Mo picked up a piece of delicious seabass and said with a smile:
"Anyway, school doesn't start until September. It's still some time before it starts. Why don't we give her some tutoring on a surprise basis?"
"It was this period of teaching that made me feel that this time was not appropriate."
The hand girl said sadly:
"Her foundation is relatively poor, and her academic ability is not very good. I am worried that she will not be able to keep up with the progress after school. She may have to repeat a grade again after a year. Repeating a grade is quite stressful for primary school students. Maybe It will all affect the formation of her character.”
"You can't blame Xiaomeng for this kind of thing."
Su Mo glanced at Sihasha's dream of eating meat and sighed:
"Really speaking, she is only over three months old now. At her age, human dolls are still left at home to drink milk.
Although Xiaomeng is a weirdo, she is a new special kind of weirdo. She has no so-called past life memory, and she has to learn her knowledge of the entire world from scratch.
Even if her mind is perfect and reaches the level of an ordinary child, this process is bound to take a long time.
I always feel that sending her to school now is a bit too hasty. If it doesn't work, I can wait another year. "
The hand girl shook her head and insisted:
“It is still necessary for her to receive education as early as possible. My opinion is that since primary school is not enough, she can go to preschool for one year.
Anyway, preschool will also teach some knowledge. It is just right for her to go in now and learn for a year.
Moreover, I also found out about a relatively well-known preschool institution that also provides online teaching, so Xiaomeng can give it a try. "
Su Mo considered it for a moment, nodded and said:
"Then let's do it this way. Entering preschool will give her a transition period."
When the hand girl heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the black mist on her body rippled with joy.
After a while, Su Mo swept all the dishes on the table.
Touching his round belly, he smiled and said to his opponent:
"I made some unexpected gains outside today, which should be quite useful to you."
As he spoke, he took out five balls the size of marbles, plus a scarlet square brick.
Looking at the origins of these strange things, the hand girl was surprised and said:
"Have you encountered so many weird things today?"
"There may be more than that, but that's all that's left."
Su Mo thought of the monsters that were killed in Qingjing Temple, and it was not a pity, because quite a few of the monsters there were discouraged and white-shirted, and they might not even be considered snacks for their opponents.
The hand girl took the small balls and square bricks and started to eat them.
Xiao Meng looked at it eagerly, with a look of longing on his face.
"Don't look at it. Those things are not something you can digest. Be careful."
Looking at the pitiful Xiao Meng, Su Mo spread his hands and smiled slightly:
"But this time I also brought other good things to our little dream."
Seeing the small round bead that seemed to have countless dense mist flowing in it, the hand girl was a little surprised:
"It's actually a Yin Pearl?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect it either, and it's extremely rare to have such a high degree of purity."
Su Mo also had a look of emotion on his face.
Yin beads can generally only be formed in treasure places with extremely strong Yin energy.
For monsters, this is equivalent to a magical elixir among humans. After taking it, you can successfully absorb the Yin Qi in it, and you can achieve the goal of rapid advancement. The speed is even faster than swallowing monsters or even humans, and There haven't been any side effects yet.
It's a pity that Yin beads are extremely rare, and this is the first time Su Mo has seen one of this quality.
In his opinion, maybe even the food he just handed to the hand girl was not worth as much as this little bead.
Because this yin bead can even be used by Xiao Meng, a freshman level, according to Su Mo's estimation, after it is completely digested, it will almost allow her to reach the white shirt level.
I don’t know why the weird World Honored One holds the Yin Pearl in his hand but doesn’t use it, but that doesn’t matter. Anyway, if the thing falls into his hand, it belongs to him.
Seeing Xiao Meng swallow the Yin Pearl in one mouthful like a hungry tiger, Su Mo finally understood why this little guy almost choked to death.
Fortunately, the Yin Bead appears in the form of a bead, but its body is a collection of countless pure Yin Qi, so there will be no problem no matter how you eat it.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Meng closed his eyes and fell on the table with a happy face.
"This girl is not worrying at all. Don't you know that it takes a lot of time to digest the Yin Pearl?"
The hand girl was angry and funny. She grabbed Xiao Meng and walked upstairs, obviously planning to put her into the bedroom.
Su Mo shook his head and took the finished dinner plate to the kitchen to clean it. After finishing, he made a cup of tea and returned to his bedroom, lying on the armchair comfortably.
Today was indeed a very busy day. In the morning, I solved a bunch of weird things at Han Yingzhen's place. At noon, I accidentally bumped into the Civil Security Bureau who was arresting criminals. In the afternoon, I helped rescue people but failed to save them, and then changed hands and destroyed another foreign land.
At first glance, it feels like living in a troubled Gotham City.
However, Qinghu City is much safer than Gotham City. If you think about it carefully, he has made a lot of contributions to this.
Of course, in addition to subduing demons and promoting justice in the world, he also did not forget his own job.
Just like today, he seemed to be busy with a lot of things, but he still delivered 180 takeaway orders in his spare time.
Today, his speed attribute has reached 4900.
One step closer to the upper limit of 6,000.
It is a small step closer to the third talent, the talent of spleen.
Speaking of talent, the talent of the lungs really brought him a big surprise today.
In addition to many functions such as storm, flight, adsorption, repulsion, and field, there is also a special function to adjust the energy concentration of the world.
To be honest, this function should have more room for development, and it really needs to be studied carefully.
In addition, the kidney talent, which has been acquired for a long time but has never been thought about in depth, may also have similar special functions.
Su Mo decided to find an opportunity to experiment.
"There are also strange objects."
Su Mo took out three strange objects from his pocket.
Among these three rare objects, two are red-coat level, one is in the shape of a pocket watch, and the other is in the shape of a wooden fish.
The pocket watch style one was sent by the big bald man, but I haven’t yet figured out how to use it.
As for the wooden fish-shaped strange objects, they were found at Qingjing Temple.
This wooden fish seems to be made of camphor wood. It is shiny and dark brown in color. It is only 2 inches in size, no bigger than an ordinary girl’s fist. The matching wooden fish hammer, also called Jianzhi, is 10 centimeters long and can usually be used directly. Stuff it inside the wooden fish and take it out when needed.
As for its function, it has been tested on site before. After being struck, it can cause everyone except the holder to become mentally disturbed. The closer to the wooden fish and the lower the level of cultivation, the greater the impact will be.
The price is that you need to fast. The more you knock, the longer it will take to fast.
It's a pity that this effect is almost useless for Su Mo. He just wants to have some more boiled meat slices tonight.
As for the third rare item, it is a Yellow Pages-level jade Buddha.
The Jade Buddha is small and exquisite, only as big as a thumb. After use, it will turn into a crow, replace the user's eyes, and fly to distant places for reconnaissance. The farther the reconnaissance distance, the greater the price to pay.
Of course, there is an upper limit to this distance. If it exceeds the limit, the Jade Buddha will collapse directly, and the user will also bear the most serious price.
For Su Mo, the effectiveness of this jade Buddha is even stronger than that of the red-level wooden fish.
It can be seen that the level of rare items is not enough.
In addition, he also obtained two other Yellow Pages-level rare items at the scene, namely a cassock that can make people invisible, and an alms bowl that can be transformed into a two-meter diameter.
Su Mo gave these two rare objects to Chen Shuo and Zhang Xuanyang respectively.
Without Zhang Xuanyang's invitation, he would not have known about this incident.
Without Chen Shuo's soul whistle, it would be difficult for him to find Qingjing Temple in time.
They have made due contributions and should receive corresponding rewards.
And some things later will need their help.
The Buddhists who were deceived by the World Honored One were not only those present at the scene, there must be many who were left outside and had not yet arrived at the temple.
These Buddhists left outside are like time bombs, and they must find a way to deal with them. This kind of thing is too time-consuming and inconvenient for him to do, but for Zhang Xuanyang and Chen Shuo, who are backed by two major organizations, it should be easier. .
In addition, Su Mo also discovered that the World Honored One who died at the scene was most likely not the real mastermind behind the scenes, because what the World Honored One did was to transform living people into zombies, and the water monsters in the river were clearly infected after death. The techniques used to treat corpse qi are not consistent.
However, no relevant clues were found after looking through the fragmentary memories of the World Honored One. Even the corpse energy he held in his hand was picked up from the entrance of the temple. This kind of thing can not only fool the unconscious monsters, Who are you fooling?
But he had to deliver food every day and had no time to worry about it, so he handed over the task of searching for the mastermind behind the scenes to Zhang Xuanyang and Chen Shuo.
He didn't believe that with the background of the two major forces, there were still no clues.
As long as he can find someone, he can send him to see victims like Huarui.
And while waiting like this, three days passed quietly.
He failed to receive news from Zhang Xuanyang and Chen Shuo.
Instead, I got new information from Shen Panxia——
She found traces of the Death Mark weapon.
