15: Prohibited from urinating and defecating

Because there were so many interactive segments, Giant Star De Hua's concert didn't end until 11:30 PM.

The entire concert tonight was live-streamed.

Chen Su was lying in bed, scrolling through videos.

When he scrolled to a post saying she was his wife.

The water he had just drunk, before he even had a chance to swallow it, immediately sprayed out.

"Pfft~"

"Who is this girl?"

Her T-shirt looked familiar; it seemed to be from the batch I had Giant Star De Hua sign yesterday.

To be able to wear the clothes sent out this morning at the concert tonight, she must be a local of Maple City.

He opened his phone and checked the records.

Recipient: super invincible cosmic great beauty.

Delivery Address: Villa No. 3, Rongqiao Villa Area.

Received 10,000 yuan.

???

Could she be related to Grandpa Li?

They really are a family of good people.

The super invincible cosmic great beauty was named Li Chuxia, and just as Chen Su suspected, she was the granddaughter of Tea Master Grandpa Li.

After the concert ended, she was picked up by a driver.

She skipped happily back home.

Before she even entered the door, she heard her grandparents arguing inside the house.

"Do you know how precious that Pu'er tea was? Why did you throw it away without asking me?"

"It was just moldy tea leaves. How precious could it be? If you think you lost out, I'll pay you back 400,000 tomorrow, and you'll still profit 50,000."

"It's not about the money. I'll give you a million yuan; go find it and bring it back."

"Even if you gave me ten million, I couldn't find it. The residential area garbage is hauled away every night at 8:30 PM. It's probably mixed up with sludge by now."

Creak.

The main door opened.

When the two elders saw their beloved granddaughter return, they immediately stopped arguing.

"Chuxia is back! Was the concert good?"

"It was great, great! Grandpa, Grandma, let me tell you, Giant Star De Hua even let me request a song! I'm so excited, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Would you like some chicken soup? Grandma just stewed it tonight and kept it warm in the pot. It's still hot."

"No, thanks. I'm trying to lose weight. What were you two arguing about just now? Something about 400,000 and 10 million?"

...Meanwhile, the person who benefited improperly was scrolling through short videos with great relish.

It couldn't really be considered unjust enrichment. In Chen Su's understanding, this was called the full utilization of resources.

If he hadn't gone and dug out the Pu'er tea.

That Pu'er tea would have turned into Pu'er dirt by now.

Chen Su now lived every day with great anticipation.

He looked forward to the arrival of "midnight" every day, marking the start of a new day.

Midnight arrived.

Chen Su summoned the Intelligence System.

[Today's Intelligence has been refreshed. Does Host wish to acquire it immediately?]

Click Acquire.

[Today's Intelligence (D-Rank): There is a lost Kerer Duck in the bushes of Fanghua Residential Area. It has a red scarf tied around its neck. Its owner is very anxious and is offering a reward of 4,000 yuan for its return. Contact: 136******]

Fanghua Residential Area, isn't that the residential area where I currently live?

Chen Su rummaged through the cabinet and found a flashlight.

He changed his clothes and went out to look for the duck... "Little duck, little duck, come out."

In the residential area's green bushes, Chen Su carefully scanned with his flashlight.

He searched around the green bushes once but didn't find the duck.

Chen Su brought up the system information to check it again.

That's right, it says right here.

He walked around the green bushes again with the flashlight, still unable to find it.

Strange.

He imitated a duck quacking towards the surroundings.

"Quack!"

The residential area was silent, save for his quacking.

"Quack quack quack quack~"

Still no response.

"Who is that! What are you doing out there in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? I'm telling you, urinating or defecating is prohibited there! Violators will be fined 100 yuan."

The voice of Security Guard Uncle Li came from the guard booth.

It startled Chen Su.

He quickly walked over with his flashlight.

"Xiao Chen, it's you! What are you looking for out here in the middle of the night?"

"Uncle Li, here's the thing: my hometown sent me a duck, a live one, for me to butcher and make soup to nourish myself."

"I forgot to close the door just now, and it ran out."

"Oh, you mean the duck? There was a duck quacking in the bushes just now. I wondered whose it was, so I caught it and took it to the guard booth."

"My duck has a red scarf tied around its neck. Is that the one?"

"Yes, yes, that's it! I was just thinking, who would waste something like that by tying a red scarf around an animal."

He "claimed" the duck from the guard booth.

After returning home, Chen Su saw that the duck was plump and even cute.

He couldn't resist poking its rather large belly with his hand.

I'll contact the owner tomorrow. It's so late, they must be asleep.

Chen Su locked the duck in the bathroom and returned to his room.

He lay down and immediately fell asleep... "Quack quack quack quack~"

"Quack quack quack quack quack quack~"

Before dawn, Chen Su was woken up by the sound of the duck quacking.

He checked the time: 4:00 AM.

"Damn it, what kind of rotten duck is this? Why is it so noisy?"

"I have to seal your mouth shut."

He searched high and low but couldn't find a piece of rope.

"Quack quack quack quack quack~~"

The duck continued to quack.

Chen Su, desperately sleepy, grabbed the charging cable from his bedside table and went to the bathroom to tie the duck's mouth shut.

Chen Su tied it gently, after all, it was worth four thousand yuan.

After the gagging was complete.

He lay back on the bed, pulled up the blanket, and continued sleeping... As the sky gradually brightened and the sun rose, another piece of news exploded across the entire internet.

["Shock! Internet celebrity Brother Ma's special live sale of Dragon Boat Festival gift zongzi were counterfeit and inferior products!!"]

Comments 999+

[Shark Chili: The sky is falling, everyone! Even Brother Ma's house has collapsed, where else can I buy things?]

[The Most Melancholy, Steadfast, and Emotional Person: I worked so hard to afford those zongzi, and they turned out to be fakes?? (Crying)]

...[Thousand-Year Iron Tree Never Flowers: Refund! Must refund! @Brother Ma]

[Love Rises with the Wind: This is too much! Severe punishment is necessary! @12315 @Relevant Authorities]

The entire network was in an uproar.

["Could the Dragon Boat Festival gift zongzi sold by Internet celebrity Brother Ma cause cancer?"]

["A woman was sent to the hospital after consuming three 'zongzi purchased from Brother Ma's livestream.'"]

...["Brother Ma exposed for improper relationship with assistant and chaotic private life."]

Posts related to Brother Ma emerged endlessly... Chen Su's "second sleep" finally ended at ten o'clock in the morning.

He reached under his pillow for his phone.

He tapped it open.

The entire network was flooded with news that the zongzi sold by Brother Ma were counterfeit products.

He opened the news broadcast.

"Regarding the incident concerning Internet celebrity Brother Ma's livestream room reported by the public, superiors attach great importance to the matter, and relevant departments have intervened in the investigation..."

Chen Su didn't know the specific progress of the investigation.

He only knew that he was about to receive more than thirty thousand yuan.

After washing up, he untied the Kerer Duck's beak.

Chen Su went downstairs and ate breakfast.

After eating and drinking his fill, he pulled out his phone and dialed the owner's contact information provided in the intelligence.

The call was quickly connected, and a gentle female voice came from the other side: "Hello, may I ask who this is?"

"Hello, I found the Kerer Duck you posted a reward for online. Are you available to come pick it up now?"

"Yes, yes, I am! May I ask where you are right now? I'll hurry over immediately."
