As for Su Yang, he did not care about the matter at all.
The special items had already proven its magical properties countless times. Hence, Su Yang was very clear about the final outcome. ‘I’m definitely going to be able to borrow that 50 million yuan.
‘Hence, I can’t be bothered to help Mr. Shen.
‘After all, if I helped him, he would help me get that 50 million yuan loan.
‘Likewise, even If I did not help him, he would still have to lend me the 50 million yuan.
‘In that case, I might as well not help at all.
‘Mr. Shen is afraid of trouble, so do I!
‘Although anything that has been put up as collateral in the bank wouldn’t be taken away maliciously.
‘However… if the shares aren’t in his hands, I would feel uneasy.
‘What if a second-generation heir took a fancy to my company and used some special methods to pressure the bank or purposely make me so that I am unable to repay the loan?
‘I don’t want to take that risk.’
Therefore, he rejected Mr. Shen mercilessly, leaving no room for negotiation.
He planned to leave everything for [Absolute Verbal Contract] to handle, while he… planned to add a point onto Dagger Girl.
In fact, Su Yang had already planned to add a point onto Dagger Girl for a while now.
Ever since he obtained the Gold point and added it to the system and gave it +3, he had already added points onto Little Deeny, Sanque, Gru, and Little Hus.
‘I suppose it’s about time to add a point onto Dagger Girl now.
‘Dagger Girl seems to like Little Hus very much recently. When Little Hus was a pillow, she had been with Little Hus every day. Now that Little Hus has become a… toy dog, she is still hanging around with Little Hus.
‘I’ve always had a feeling that Little Hus had kidnapped her, so I wanted to make her blink to prove that she was kidnapped so that I could save her.
‘Unfortunately, she could not even open her eyes, so… there’s no way for me to verify my suspicions.
‘Dagger Girl really is pitiful.
‘She has been kidnapped, yet had no method of giving a signal.’
Su Yang ran around the villa twice, trying to find out where Dagger Girl was. However, he could not find her after searching for a long time.
Su Yang left the villa and went to the backyard.
He saw that Dagger Girl was climbing a ladder and trimming the straw hut.
As for how the “blind” could trim a straw hut… that’s because she has No.18 guiding her.
No. 18, the little sister among the Little Monster Beans, was standing at the bottom of the straw hut and continuously directing Dagger Girl. “Dou, Dou, Doudou!”
Dagger Girl asked in a childish voice, “It’s here, right? Okay, I’ll be careful.”
As she said that, she waved her blade-like hand, and with a “whoosh”, a large patch of straw was cut off.
No. 18 was anxious. She jumped and said, “Doudoudou! Dou! Dou!”
Dagger Girl still had a curious look on her face. “What’s wrong, Sister 18?”
No. 18 tried to explain, but it was obvious that they did not speak the same language.
Su Yang hurried over. ‘If I let Dagger Girl continue trimming like this, the straw hut would be gone before long.’
“Dagger Girl,” Su Yang called out softly.
When Dagger Girl heard Su Yang’s voice, she turned around in surprise and said in a cute voice, “Brother Su Yang!”
Su Yang walked to the bottom of the straw hut and reached out to hold her under his armpit and carried her down. “Why are you at such a high place? Where’s Little Hus?”
Dagger Girl tried her best to curl her arms and legs in Su Yang’s embrace so that her knife wouldn’t touch Su Yang.
She whispered, “Brother Hus is preparing a secret gift for Brother Janet.”
“Oh,” Su Yang replied.” What kind of present?”
Dagger Girl shook her head. “I don’t know.”
Su Yang was about to end the conversation when he suddenly thought of something. He looked at her in surprise. “You know that Janet is a man?”
Dagger Girl closed her eyes and turned to Su Yang. Her long eyelashes moved, and her expression was filled with doubt. “Isn’t Brother Janet a man?”
Su Yang was surprised.
He asked, “How did you know?”
Dagger Girl said, “I smelled it. Brother Janet’s scent is obviously that of a man.”
Looking at Dagger Girl’s innocent and puzzled face, Su Yang was speechless.
‘She… actually found out through smelling.’
Then, Su Yang thought of something terrifying. “Does Little Hus know?”
Dagger Girl looked up and thought about it then shook her head. “I don’t know either. I think Brother Hus probably thinks that I don’t know Brother Janet’s gender.”
‘Is that really true…
‘I can’t shake the feeling that things aren’t as simple as it seems.
‘However, no matter what, Little Hus and Janet’s ill-fated relationship is still ongoing. I think I… can’t change it at all.
‘After all, Little Hus is part of my family, but so is Janet. Hence I can’t possibly change Janet’s gender just for Little Hus, can I?
‘This is frustrating.’
After feeling frustrated for a while, Su Yang carried Dagger Girl, who was playing in his arms to the river. Then, he instructed No. 18 to get a bench.
Shortly after, No. 18 returned to Su Yang with a small bench. “Dou!”
Su Yang took the bench and scanned the Little Monster Bean in front of him.
It was different from the other Little Monster Beans. No. 18’s large eye had long eyelashes.
‘So… does Little Monster Beans distinguish between men and women through their eyelashes?’
As Su Yang thought about it, she plucked a strand of her No. 18’s eyelashes. It hurt so much that she cried out in pain.
After shouting for a while and seeing Su Yang sniggering, No. 18 glared at Su Yang and ran away.
Su Yang looked at her back view as she ran away and scoffed. ‘Why are you being so stingy? It’s just one eyelash.’
Su Yang looked at the long eyelash in his hands. After some thought, he placed them in front of Dagger Girl and said, “Come, Sister Dagger Girl, make a wish.”
Dagger Girl cutely looked at Su Yang. “What is a wish?”
Su Yang said, “You just have to say what you want to come true and blow on it to make a wish.”
“Back in my hometown, as long as you use an eyelash to make a wish, it will all come true.”
Dagger Girl’s mouth opened wide. “Wow.”
Then she clasped her knife handle-hands together and placed them before her chest as she made a wish with a serious expression. Then she opened her mouth and blew.
The eyelashes were blown away, fluttering in the wind…
Su Yang placed Dagger Girl on the ground and said, “Sister Dagger Girl, I’m going to add another point for you. Sit tight.”
Dagger nodded her head and sat down on the floor.
Su Yang opened the system shop and took a look at the fourth panel. The fourth panel was filled with colorful lights, but there were no items.
He purchased a [Random Point] without any anticipation and bought two more [Guardian Talisman]. Then, he stuck them on Dagger Girl’s head.
Dagger Girl, who had been stuck with the [Guardian Talisman], looked like a little zombie and looked adorable.
Soon after, the talisman slowly disappeared. A red light first appeared on Dagger Girl’s body, and a moment later, the red light turned orange.
She was small and thin, so the sudden change in color made her look like a… glow stick.
As the [Guardian Talisman] was pasted, Su Yang activated the system.
Along with the activation of the system, a semi-transparent [+] symbol appeared on Dagger Girl’s head. Su Yang clicked on the semi-transparent [+] symbol on Dagger Girl’s head.
A notification popped up in front of him.
[Are you sure you want to add points for a third time? The failure rate of adding points the third time will greatly increase. If you fail, the item will be completely damaged.]
Su Yang, who had 2 prior experiences, did not click [Yes] this time.
Instead, he turned around and ran.
Su Yang ran to the straw hut and clicked on [Yes] when he arrived.
Accompanied by his confirmation, there was an explosion around Dagger Girl. Dust flew, and there was a shockwave from the explosion!
Standing at the same spot, Su Yang finally saw a little monster’s +3 transformation for the first time. Countless light ribbons suddenly appeared around Dagger Girl. The light ribbons then exploded with a force comparable to a small bomb.
‘No wonder there are shockwaves every time. So that’s how it is…’
Immediately after, the ribbon of light wrapped around Dagger Girl and exploded with a bright orange light. It soared into the sky and stopped in midair.
Then, the orange light band seemed to have a life of its own as it revolved around Dagger Girl. It wrapped around her layer by layer before finally turning into a cocoon of light. At the same time, a countdown appeared on the cocoon [59: 59]…
Su Yang, who had had 3 experiences before knew that, ‘This should be considered a success.
‘All that’s left is to wait.’
Therefore, he sat on the bench and prepared to eat some melon seeds.
However, when he sat down on the bench, Su Yang realized that the bench that that little rascal No. 18 brought him was not the [Small Bench That Refuses To Eat Melons] but was a normal bench instead.
Hence, when Su Yang sat down, there was no delicious food.
He had no choice but to summon a virtual interface to relieve his boredom.
As soon as he opened the virtual interface, a WeChat notification popped up. It was from Chuxia.
Su Yang opened it.
Chuxia texted, ‘Su Yang, are you free recently?’
Looking at Chuxia’s WeChat, Su Yang couldn’t help but start thinking, ‘Chuxia is asking me if I’m free? Could she be asking me out?
‘Recently, she has suddenly stopped coming to the office and I have not seen her for more than half a month. Frankly, I actually miss her a little.’
At the thought of this, although Su Yang was actually a little busy recently, he still replied, ‘I’ve got some time to spare. What’s the matter?’
Chuxia replied, ‘In that case, can you do me a favor? Could you please help me pick up a batch of first-year students next week? I have some matters to attend to outside and can’t go back.’
Su Yang was confused.
‘What happened to the date? What happened to the meal you promised?
‘Why has it suddenly turned into a pick-up job?
‘Lady, you are being really immoral by doing this!’
Su Yang replied, ‘What have you been busy with recently? I feel like… you’re really busy.’
Chuxia replied after a long time, ‘It’s a secret. I won’t tell you. Hehe.’
Su Yang was speechless.
‘This girl is really annoying.
‘However, Chuxia has already helped me so many times, it’s only right for me to help her this once although I’m really reluctant.’ Hence, Su Yang still replied, ‘Alright. Give me the time and location then. I’ll go pick them up for you.’
Chuxia sent a “cute” emoji of a little girl swaying left and right. ‘Thank you, Mr. CEO.’
Su Yang sighed when he received Chuxia’s message. ‘Thank you my foot! You’re not even treating me to a meal!’
As he put the virtual interface aside, Su Yang felt a little frustrated.
‘Picking up new students. I’ve never done such a thing.
‘But I’ve… been picked up before.’
Su Yang thought about how he was welcomed back then.
‘It seemed like there was a senior at the train station who raised the signboard [Shanghai University’s New Student Reception] and I walked over towards him. The senior then brought me to the bus to wait.
‘Then, I arrived at the school.
‘Now that I think of it, I’ve even forgotten that senior’s name and what he looked like.
At the time, all I cared about was how prosperous Shanghai was and how big Shanghai University was.’
Su Yang couldn’t help but laugh when he thought about the scene when he first entered the university. ‘Time really flies… In the blink of an eye, I’m already in my second year.’
Just like that, he spent an hour reminiscing.
When he came back to his senses, he realized…’The countdown’s over.’
As the countdown ended, many cracks appeared on the orange cocoon of light that had been quietly floating in the air. The cracks grew larger and larger before it suddenly exploded.
With a loud bang, an orange light swept across the backyard.
Su Yang even heard Qing Zhu screaming. ‘She’s probably been blinded by it’.
On the other hand, Su Yang was smart enough to close his eyes.
After a while, Su Yang felt something soft hugging him. He heard a cajoling voice beside his ear. “Brother Su Yang.”
