58: I'll steal some secrets when I have time.
Yang Hui looked at it, paused, and asked, “What kind of key is this?”
“Mom, you ride that little electric scooter all day, and it’s not safe in wind and rain. I bought you a four-wheeled electric car.”
Su Can said with a smile, “Do you know how to drive it? If not, I’ll go downstairs and teach you.”
“I know how to drive, but I’m not very skilled. Actually, it’s pretty good for Mom to ride an electric scooter; it’s convenient and easy to park!”
Although her son was rich now, Yang Hui, accustomed to saving, still felt a pang of regret over the money spent.
“Mom, I know you. Your son has turned his life around now. Don’t be reluctant about a few bucks. Eat what you want, drink what you want, and spend what you want!”
Su Can held his mother’s hand and spoke earnestly.
With his current abilities, earning money was not difficult at all. He needed to talk to his mother properly; it was time for her to enjoy life!
After talking with his mother for almost half a day, he finally made some small progress.
As for buying his own car, Su Can temporarily chose not to mention it.
“Alright, Mom, it’s getting late. You should rest.”
Seeing that it was already ten o’clock without realizing it, Su Can stood up and said.
From the beginning of his rebirth until now, his current abilities owed an indelible credit to that Chameleon.
He had overlooked it when he came back last time, and now remembering it, Su Can quickly walked towards his room.
Opening the door, everything in the room remained unchanged.
Su Can sighed softly, then his gaze shifted, and he suddenly froze.
“Where’s my Chameleon?”
“Mom, why is the Chameleon on my bedside table gone? Even its box is missing?”
Su Can was a bit bewildered and quickly leaned out, asking towards the outside.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you. The day I asked you to go on a blind date, and you suddenly ran off to the hospital, that Chameleon died. I threw it in the trash, and the box too!”
His mother’s voice came, making Su Can stunned for a moment.
It died?
Su Can felt a bit dazed. Could it be that it died because its mutated energy was lost? For a moment, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
“Forget it, I won’t think about it!”
Su Can shook his head, not overly sad, just a little wistful.
After all, his current abilities were inextricably linked to it.
However, thinking of the Chameleon, Su Can also thought of his cousin.
“I wonder how my cousin is doing lately.”
Su Can suddenly took out his phone, but after thinking for a moment, he put it back down.
He should visit his cousin in person when he had time. It was too late today, so he wouldn’t contact her.
Anyway, his cousin didn’t live far. Once he got his car, traveling would be convenient, and he could visit whenever he wanted.
Thinking this, Su Can closed his eyes, intending to sleep.
But just as he was starting to feel sleepy, his WeChat suddenly chimed.
“Hmm?”
Su Can paused. Who would send him a message so late at night?
With a hint of doubt, Su Can picked up his phone again and opened it. Someone was adding him as a friend.
A woman with the nickname “Meimu Buzhiqiu”.
And WeChat showed that Liu Qianqian had recommended her contact card.
“Who did Liu Qianqian recommend me to?”
Su Can was startled, then a vision of a curvaceous, charming, mature woman unconsciously flashed through his mind.
“Could it be Su Ran from the big pharmacy?”
Su Can was suspicious because he had only interacted with one woman named Su Ran, and she also knew Liu Qianqian.
He clicked “Accept” and they became friends.
Su Can then sent a question mark.
“?”
Looking at the question mark sent in the chat box, Su Ran on the other side paused slightly, then smiled and replied:
“I’m Su Ran. We met during the day. Do you still remember?”
“It really is you!”
“How could I not remember such a beautiful woman?” Su Can smiled faintly, then sent a message back.
The other side immediately raised an eyebrow and replied, “Really? Then why did I feel like you weren’t interested in me at all during the day? It made me lose my confidence.”
“Oh? Then what would count as being interested in you? Staring at you lustfully the first time we meet?”
Su Can was speechless.
“Hehehe, no, that’s not it. Alright, I was just joking to liven up the atmosphere and avoid awkwardness!”
Su Ran smiled and got straight to the point: “To be honest, I asked Qianqian for your WeChat because I have something to ask of you.”
“Something to ask?”
Su Can was surprised to hear that and replied, “What is it?”
“How about this, it’s hard to explain clearly on WeChat right now. If you have time tomorrow, I’ll invite you out for a meal, and we can talk in detail. Does that work for you?”
Su Ran sent a voice message.
“Okay!” Su Can replied with a short word.
“Mm!”
It was also a short word.
The two ended their conversation.
…
The next day, Su Can woke up at half past eight in the morning.
He opened the door and came to the living room. His mother had already gone to work.
There was food left for him on the table, all his favorite home-cooked dishes, a burst of happiness!
After sitting down and eating well, and washing the dishes, Su Can came to the balcony.
With a thought, his body seemed to turn into a black hole, and rays of sunlight were distorted, transforming into scorching energy that drilled into his body.
But the next moment, Su Can’s expression changed. He felt as if his body had become a large fireball, with a sensation of spontaneous combustion.
“No, my body temporarily cannot directly absorb the essence of the sun. The energy is too explosive. If I continue to absorb it, my body won’t be able to handle it!”
“It seems my physical condition has reached a critical point. I can only let my body settle for a while, and only after a qualitative improvement can I absorb sunlight again!”
Su Can pondered slightly and roughly understood the reason.
His body was now like a water jar, already full of water.
If he wanted to hold more water, he would need to expand the jar.
This also reminded him of the ‘True Essence’ after the fusion in his body. If he could truly follow cultivation methods and meridians as described in novels, perhaps his body would undergo a rapid qualitative leap!
“My China, with its five thousand years of history, has countless extraordinary people and numerous legends. I don’t believe they are all baseless. Otherwise, how can I explain my current phenomenon?”
“And those Daoist priests, Maoshan masters, Northeast Shamanic mediums, and so on, that have existed until now, must have some mystical elements to them!”
“It seems I need to find some time to search around, go to Shaolin Temple, Wudang Mountain, and such, and ‘steal’ some secret manuals. Maybe that will solve my current situation!”
“That’s what I’ll do!”
Su Can raised an eyebrow, secretly making up his mind. He couldn’t stand the frustration of having a treasure mountain but being unable to use it!
Just as he was thinking, his phone suddenly rang.
Su Can picked it up and saw that it was Manager Liu calling.
