62: Is this another encrypted call?

If Sister Xiao found out that I had *that* with the Landlord.

Would she scold me? We hadn't even confirmed our relationship, and I just vaguely gave myself to him.

However, she seemed to be in a relatively good mood.

The anxiety in my heart lessened.

"Come on, Yuyao, take a break. Xiao Ba and I will play a round together."

Lu Hanxiao rolled up her sleeves at this moment.

"Oh dear, are the two of you planning to gang up on me from now on?"

Zhang Yu couldn't help but laugh.

It was that kind of meaningful smile again; he must be alluding to something else.

Lu Hanxiao, filled with the conviction of victory, started shuffling the cards: "Zhang Yu, if the two of us Team up, you definitely won't be able to handle it."

"Is that so? Then let's try." Zhang Yu smiled, "I'm quite looking forward to it."

You!

Lu Hanxiao knew he was using encrypted communication again.

Sure enough, Pan Yuyao didn't understand: "Landlord, just because I'm bad at cards, you think we're not worthy opponents and you're not looking forward to it?"

Soon, the next round began.

This time, Zhang Yu secretly let them win, deliberately losing a hand.

"Yay! The Landlord finally lost a hand! Quick, what's the punishment?"

Pan Yuyao jumped up excitedly from the side.

"Let's go with Truth."

Zhang Yu said.

"Come on, Landlord, draw a card."

Pan Yuyao handed over the stack of cards.

Zhang Yu drew one. Written on the card face was, "Tell a secret that no one knows about you."

A secret?

There are too many of those.

However, he still needed to say something that wasn't too mysterious.

He thought for a moment, then said: "My secret is that the showerhead on the first floor is broken, and I deliberately haven't fixed it immediately."

"Huh?"

Pan Yuyao was stunned.

"That doesn't count," Lu Hanxiao said. "I already knew that."

"If you want to hear more, you'll have to beat me,"

Zhang Yu chuckled.

"Then bring it on." Lu Hanxiao was all in.

Unfortunately.

Zhang Yu won every single one of the following rounds.

He gave them no hope of winning again.

He was already good at cards, and after getting the System, his ability to calculate and memorize cards greatly improved.

He had long been at a professional master level.

Against two amateur players, he could win whenever he wanted.

By the end, several punishments were owed.

Di Xiaoba and Lu Hanxiao were completely defeated and had run out of steam.

"Ah, I'm not playing anymore, I surrender!"

Di Xiaoba raised the white flag.

With one unwilling and the other unable to play, the card game naturally couldn't continue.

"Zhang Yu, you won."

Lu Hanxiao finally lowered her defiant head.

"There are still several punishments owed."

Zhang Yu chuckled.

"To save time, let's just ask one question. However, this question won't be drawn from the cards."

"Then how will you ask?"

Lu Hanxiao asked.

"Let Xiao Ba ask."

Zhang Yu nominated the person.

Di Xiaoba felt flattered.

After thinking for a moment, she asked Lu Hanxiao: "Sister Xiao, what kind of man do you like best? You can only state one characteristic."

One characteristic?

Lu Hanxiao felt distressed.

If she told the truth, wouldn't she be revealing all her secrets?

But if she didn't tell the truth, she felt she wouldn't be able to pass this hurdle.

Several punishments had already been compressed into one.

After thinking, she took a deep breath and said, "A man with great stamina!"

As soon as she said it, the scene fell into a brief silence.

"Oh! Sister Xiao, I never thought you'd be so cold on the outside, yet like this kind of man!" Pan Yuyao was the first to exclaim.

Di Xiaoba, however, felt even more certain of her own hypothesis.

She naturally knew what Sister Xiao meant.

In this household, truly no one was safe.

Except for Pan Yuyao, who was still out of the loop.

"Alright, it's getting late. Everyone clean up and go to bed early."

Zhang Yu reminded them.

Although not a single explicit word was said between them during this card game.

By using a few questions and inserting a few perspectives, the fog had been cleared.

They now understood the relationships between them.

This saved them from constantly guessing.

And they would know how to deal with the situation.

The purpose of the card game had been achieved.

"Oh right, tomorrow is my official regularization date!"

Pan Yuyao was a little excited and nervous. "Xiao Ba, what do I need to pay attention to before regularization, and what should I prepare?"

"Yuyao, don't worry. I'll help you prepare everything tomorrow morning!" Lu Hanxiao said.

Since there had been no news yet today, it meant the regularization was basically certain.

Tomorrow, she just needs to bring the relevant documents and materials to the Airline Company to sign the regularization contract.

Lu Hanxiao would also go.

She wanted to know Pan Yuyao's assignment immediately and try to get her into her own Team.

"Alright then."

Since Sister Xiao said so, Pan Yuyao felt relieved.

The card game was put away, and the three women returned to their respective rooms to wash up and sleep.

Zhang Yu also returned to his master bedroom on the second floor.

He checked the time.

Good times always fly by; in a flash, it was already almost midnight.

"System, I want to draw today's Blind Box!"

Zhang Yu lay in bed, watching the time, and summoned the System.

Drawing the reward couldn't wait another moment.

"host, today's Blind Box has been prepared for you!"

Soon, the virtual interface for the Blind Box draw appeared before his eyes.

He selected one of them.

After the box opened, a line of text popped up.

"Congratulations, host—you have drawn the Blind Box [God-Tier Soul Revival Medical Skill]!"

It was a skill type again!

Zhang Yu looked at the explanation.

He found that this medical skill was a bit special.

That is, 'I don't treat common ailments; I only treat complex and difficult diseases!'

For patients who are frail, dying, and only have one breath left.

Applying the medical skill can extend life and revive the soul.

Or, for patients with cerebral palsy or paraplegia, it allows for rapid recovery, reaching a level of self-care.

Long-term bedridden vegetative patients can even reach a level where they are conscious and able to speak!

But achieving full vitality and jumping around—the current level can't reach that yet.

Otherwise, this would be a sci-fi movie.

However, this set of medical skills didn't mention much about ordinary headaches or fever.

After all, treating these types of basic illnesses often just requires drinking more hot water.

Therefore, it only included a few minor medical skills as bonuses, along with basic medical skills for treating bruises, sprains, and promoting blood circulation.

As the saying goes, having many skills doesn't hurt.

Zhang Yu quickly claimed the reward and stored it in the System's personal center.

Having finished this.

Zhang Yu washed up and prepared to sleep.

The physical exertion today was quite high, and sleepiness set in.

"Zhang Yu, are you asleep?"

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door.

There was no need to ask; it was Lu Hanxiao.

Of the three of them, the other two mostly called him Landlord.

She, however, called him by his name more often.

It was so late, and she was coming to find him again.

He wondered what the matter was.

Could it be that she wanted it again? And came over on her own initiative?
