409: Can I pick up the car now?
After their bickering, the three of them continued eating hotpot, paired with Ye Su's secret shacha sauce.
Neither of the two women was particularly fond of meat.
In the past, after eating so much beef, they would have already grown tired of it and started blanching vegetables to finish the meal.
However, with the secret shacha sauce, the two of them unexpectedly ate nearly a third more meat than usual.
Fortunately, their appetite was negligible compared to Ye Su's.
Even if they ate a bit more than usual, it was only equivalent to picking a little bit from between Ye Su's teeth; there was absolutely no need to worry that Ye Su wouldn't have enough of the remaining food to eat.
Although the secret shacha sauce tasted good, even with the two of them performing beyond their usual capacity, they could only finish half before they couldn't eat any more.
Watching Ye Su still devouring the food, the two sat on his left and right, helping him blanch meat and scald vegetables, just like two virtuous little wives serving Ye Su a meal.
After about an hour of hotpot, Ye Su finally let out a burp, ending the battle with satisfaction.
Yan Ran didn't act like a female company boss either; after Ye Su finished eating, she told him to go rest, while she and Chen Xinyi washed all the dishes and chopsticks together.
Afterward, the three of them went about their own business, chatting idly here and there.
When night fell, another great battle was inevitable.
As for the promise made on the phone in the afternoon about the hotpot dinner coming with a complimentary massage service, Ye Su also took care of that while he was at it.
It was also at this moment that Ye Su discovered that the [ Special Grade Massage Technique ] and [ Hand of God ] skills actually had another wonderful use.
After both of them fell asleep, it was nearly midnight.
Ye Su seized the time to take out the [ Lucky Dice ].
[ Host's information earnings for today total 163,047 yuan! ]
" Give me a [ 6 ]. "
After casually guessing a number, Ye Su threw the dice out.
Roll, roll—
After rolling on the floor for a few seconds, the dice finally landed on [ 1 ].
" Well, didn't hit it again... "
Ye Su was too lazy to get out of bed; after summoning the system, he remotely retrieved the dice back into his [ storage space ].
[ storage space One: Lucky Dice ]
[ storage space Two: Book of Wealth (one copy), gold (340 grams) ]
[ storage space Three: Empty ]
[ storage space Four: Empty ]
" With two [ storage space ] slots freed up, next time I can put the [ Working Cat ] and [ Ruyi Abacus ] in as well, so they don't stay in the rental property where I wouldn't notice if anything happened to them. "
Besides the [ Working Cat ] and [ Ruyi Abacus ], Ye Su planned to bring back the two contracts from the safe as well.
He would also sell the remaining 1500 grams of gold bars to the [ System Gold Shop ] while he was at it, and the safe would be cleared out completely.
As for that apartment, since the deposit covers two months' rent, if he canceled it now, the landlord wouldn't return the deposit, which would be a loss no matter how you calculate it.
He wasn't short on that 2500 yuan a month, so Ye Su decided to just keep renting it; who knows when it might come in handy.
" Time to sleep. "
After closing the system, Ye Su covered himself with the quilt and fell asleep in the embrace of gentle comfort.
...
Wednesday morning, past eight o'clock, after Ye Su got up, he received some bad news.
Chen Xinyi discovered that her period had arrived again this month.
" Sigh... "
After finally having an exhilarating night, it had left him again in the time it took to sleep; Ye Su sighed sadly:
" No choice, I guess I'll have to go to Sister Ran's place for dinner tonight. "
" Seriously, that's all you can think about! "
Both of them suspected that Ye Su might be the reincarnation of the Bull Demon King; even after what happened last night, he woke up today acting like nothing had happened, with his mind full of such thoughts.
" Don't pay attention to him, I'll take you to work. "
" Okay. "
Too lazy to deal with Ye Su, the two of them each carried a Hermès bag and walked out of the living room hand in hand.
After the two left, Ye Su took out the [ Book of Wealth ] in boredom and casually flipped to a page.
A flash of light appeared, and a gold nugget the size of a thumb's fingernail materialized out of thin air on the book.
" Another one. "
On a whim, Ye Su put the [ Book of Wealth ] back into the system and took out all the gold nuggets from the [ storage space ].
" One, two... "
Just like playing marbles when he was a kid, Ye Su tossed the handful of gold nuggets in his hand onto the sofa one by one.
" Seventeen, eighteen. "
Not more, not less, eighteen in total.
" Once I save up a bit more, I can piece together a set of building blocks. "
After playing for a while, Ye Su, gradually feeling bored, waved his hand and, like magic, put the small gold nuggets on the sofa back into the system.
Then, Ye Su picked up his macho pink [ health cup ], poured a glass of water, and gulped it down in big mouthfuls.
[ Congratulations to the Host for successfully triggering the [ Drink More Hot Water ] skill, gaining 1 point of [ Health ] attribute! ]
[ The Host's current [ Health ] attribute is 79 points! ]
" Triggered the [ health cup ] skill again; it seems my luck is pretty good today. "
Since activating the mysterious attribute of the [ health cup ], Ye Su's [ Health ] attribute had increased by over twenty points.
Although about half of this [ Health ] attribute increased along with the rise in the [ Physique ] attribute.
But Ye Su was already very satisfied with the effect of the [ health cup ].
Moreover, besides himself, Yan Ran and Chen Xinyi would occasionally pick up the [ health cup ] to drink water, successfully triggering the skill a few times.
Now, both of their [ Health ] attributes had crossed the 40-point mark and were rated by the system as [ Physical and Mental Health ].
After drinking the water, Ye Su looked at the [ Strong Gymnastic Bicycle ] in the corner, thought about it, and decided to skip today's workout.
" From now on, I'll just rely on [ hidden easter egg ] and [ hidden task ] rewards to increase my [ Physique ] attribute. "
Since he didn't plan to ride the exercise bike anymore, and Chen Xinyi and Yan Ran had almost never touched this exercise bike either.
Ye Su planned to send this exercise bike back home at some point.
The skill description for [ Beneficial to the Body ] mentioned that besides him, other people could also use the exercise bike to increase their [ Physique ] attribute by up to 10 points.
Such a good thing, Ye Su certainly couldn't waste it; he had to let it realize its maximum value.
" I'll go handle the registration of the catering company this morning. "
While eating breakfast, Ye Su habitually planned out everything he needed to do today.
" At noon, I'll go back to school, treat my three god-sons to a meal, and have them help me finish the school's final exam tasks. "
" After handling the final tests for five or six classes, I'll go to the house I bought, get rid of the furniture I don't want, and then go to Sister Ran's place for dinner. "
Buzz—
Just as Ye Su was systematically planning the things he needed to complete today, the phone on the table vibrated twice without warning.
Picking it up to look, he discovered that the screen showed the message was from [ Chilun 4S Dealership - Lin Xiaxuan ].
" Could it be that I can pick up the car? "
Thinking of the "return one, compensate three" for that porsche cayenne, with over 4 million in compensation about to be in his hands, Ye Su couldn't wait to open the message.
