Chapter 62 - 62 Good Brother!
62 Good Brother!
“Xingrong, are you back?”
Xing Rong, who had already taken out his communicator and was about to call the Public Security Department, suddenly heard a voice coming from the door. The panic on his face immediately disappeared and turned into surprise.
He took out his key and opened the door.
Looking at the thin man standing at the door, she walked up and gave him a bear hug.
“Skinny Monkey, why are you back?”
“Some time ago, you left without saying a word. You said that you were going to do a big job.”
“In the end, almost half a month has pa.s.sed. I called and sent you messages, but you didn’t reply. Where the h.e.l.l did you go?”
When the thin man called Shou Hou heard Xing Rong’s question, an unnatural smile flashed on his face.
Just as he was about to say something, he felt a cold wind brush past him and immediately shivered.
“Hiss ~”
“Why did it suddenly turn cold?”
Although Xing Rong was relatively honest, in order not to scare his good brother, he still did not say anything about the ghost girl.
It was mainly Nethery who had pa.s.sed by Shou Hou just now.
“Ahem, perhaps the wind has blown in. Let’s go inside and sit down.”
“I’ll buy some good wine and dishes later.”
Shou Hou was pulled by Xing Rong to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
Seeing Xing Rong take the communicator and order takeout, Shou Hou opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard Xing Rong say,
“I’m delivering food every day. I’ll try to get someone to deliver it to me today.”
“I might even meet someone I know ~”
The expression on Shou Hou’s face immediately became even more complicated.
After Xing Rong placed the order, he looked at Shou Hou who wanted to say something but hesitated and smiled.
“What’s wrong? If you have something to say, just say it!”
“Why did you become so wishy-washy after being away for a while?”
On the sofa, the spirit girl sitting beside Xing Rong looked at Shou Hou with her empty eyes.
Xing Rong, who was still immersed in the joy of reuniting with his old friend, did not notice the abnormality of the ghost girl. He was looking at his good friend with a smile.
Shou Hou kept feeling a little uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, he felt that it might be because he was frightened in that pet shop that night.
In any case, he had been having nightmares recently.
He often dreamed of being torn to pieces by that strange bear.
“Ahem ~”
“Some time ago, didn’t I do a big job?”
“But there’s something wrong with that job.”
Xing Rong was puzzled.
“How could that be?”
“Aren’t you following Brother Biao? He has a chance to become a level two or even level three mutant.”
When Skinny Monkey heard Xing Rong mention Brother Biao, his expression became even uglier.
He sighed.
“Sigh ~”
“Stop talking. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d is not human.”
“In any case, not only did I not earn any money this time, I almost lost my life.”
Hearing Shou Hou say that, Xing Rong hurriedly advised,
“Then you might as well run takeout with me ~”
“There are still two to three hundred credits a day.”
“We’re all speed mutants. Moreover, if there are two of us, we might be able to earn more by giving them some big items.”
After that, Nethery could also afford to eat higher-level crystal cores!
Perhaps he could even change his residence and buy a house!
Just as Xing Rong was fantasizing about the future, Shou Hou shook his head.
“Then what’s the point?”
“You’ve worked yourself to death for a month and can only earn at most 10,000 credits. However, for the job I did, the other party will give me this amount in one go once I succeed!”
Looking at Shou Hou’s five open fingers, Xing Rong was stunned for a moment before swallowing.
“Fifty thousand?”
“Pfft ~”
Seeing that Xing Rong had never seen the world, Shou Hou sneered.
“Brother, think bigger!”
“It’s a little bigger. It’s 500,000!”
“Well…”
Xing Rong was shocked by the number his good brother was talking about.
“500,000?!”
“What are you doing? How can you earn so much?”
Although there were still wars and beast tides now, these had nothing to do with ordinary people.
Unless the city wall was broken through, or mutated beasts directly came in from underground like last time.
Otherwise, the lives of ordinary people like them had always been ordinary.
Unless he suddenly awakened some extraordinary superpower, there was no chance of becoming rich overnight.
However, the 500,000 yuan that Shou Hou mentioned made Xing Rong a little tempted.
Seeing the change in Xing Rong’s expression, Shou Hou smiled.
“How about it? Do you want to fight with me?”
“I’m the one taking the lead this time. In other words, I’ll completely distribute the money.
“When the time comes, we can split it evenly.”
Half each?
That was 250,000?
It was enough to buy 250 level one mutated beast cores.
He wondered how many pills Nethery needed to level up…
However, he was not completely blinded by this number.
Xing Rong cautiously asked,
“Then, then what are you doing? Could it be something illegal?”
Shou Hou waved his hand.
“How is this possible?!”
“I’m not like Brother Biao. That guy takes on all kinds of dangerous jobs.”
“The job is to help search for people. It’s best if I can obtain some information.”
“I recalled that you were running takeout every day and had come into contact with so many people. Your information channels were also well-informed, so I specially came back to find you.
Hearing Shou Hou say that he was just searching for people, Xing Rong was much more relieved.
He was indeed capable of doing this and it did not even affect his work much.
Therefore, he immediately smiled and said,
“Alright, I’ll do it.”
“Tell me, who are you looking for? Do you have any characteristics?”
“I know many people who order food. I might be able to find out immediately.”
Seeing Xing Rong agree, Shou Hou also revealed a sincere smile.
That person had promised him a level-four Beast Taming Crystal. It could easily be sold for more than a million yuan, and it was even priceless.
However, he could obtain it for only 250,000 yuan.
“He’s a pet seller, but he’s not an ordinary pet shop owner. He sells some strange pets there.”
With that said, Shou Hou looked at Xing Rong.
“Do you remember?”
Hearing Shou Hou’s words, the smile on Xing Rong’s face gradually stiffened.
How could it be him?
Why was Skinny Monkey looking for the owner of the pet shop?!
“No, no…”
Looking at the expression on Xing Rong’s face, the corners of Shou Hou’s mouth curled up slightly.
“You’ve seen him before, right?”
“I know you. Your expression is always so unnatural when you lie.”
Xing Rong immediately fell silent.
This good brother with the key to his house seemed to have become a little different.
“Rongzi, we’re not trying to kill for money. It’s just that someone wants to discuss business with that person. If you tell us, we’ll take 500,000 yuan for nothing. Isn’t that good?”
Hearing Shou Hou’s guidance, Xing Rong still shook his head.
“I don’t know. I’ve indeed seen such a pet shop owner, but I really don’t know where he is.”
Xing Rong also wanted to find that shop owner ~
However, Shou Hou clearly did not think so.
He knew that his brother was very loyal.
He might really hide it for honor.
Therefore, Shou Hou looked at the bedroom behind Xing Rong.
“Milord, he refuses to tell me. I can only leave it to you.”
When Xing Rong heard the door open behind him, he turned around in fear.
