851: Hidden benefits?

"Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!!"

In the empty square, the alarm rang out repeatedly.

Aside from this crisp sound, there was no other sound around.

"Whoosh!"

Mo De, with his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes!

Everything around him instantly became clear, and the alarm in his ears was extremely jarring.

Looking at the sky before him, a trace of fear arose in Mo De's heart.

The Heaven has turned dark!

He hurriedly took out his watch.

7:48

7:48 in the evening.

After seeing this time, Mo De finally let out a sigh of relief.

That's good.

His off-duty time was 8:00.

Before 8:00, he could rush back home.

"Ding-a-ling~"

The alarm beside him was still buzzing loudly.

He had set the alarm for six hours later; it had been ringing for almost two hours before he woke up.

It was a good thing he woke up.

Although his brain was still groggy now, clearly not having recovered, ultimately no mistake was made, and the hidden danger brought by the sandwich seemed to have disappeared.

And another fortunate thing was that he hadn't been drowned by all that alcohol!

"Ugh!"

Holding onto the trash can beside him, Mo De vomited non-stop.

[Congratulations, while escaping one Jie, you seem to have come into contact with some important information]

[Weird Tales Rule Group B, Hidden Rule Triggered]

[7. Today is your birthday, your relative has prepared a lavish dinner for you, please be sure to dine with her alone to increase the intimacy between you two, choosing the wrong relative to dine with would be very bad.]

[8. The room where you rest is safe, after your feelings warm up, doing something inside with Lin Yue's wife might be a good experience.]

[9. Drive to Redwood Forest for a spin tonight, if you see a figure wearing a hood and a coat, shoot him dead immediately!]

Black text appeared before his eyes.

Mo De just scanned it with a glance, not daring to delay too long.

He quickly opened the door and got into the car.

In the car, that Child in the back seat was still there.

Mo De ignored him, acting as if he didn't exist, and drove the car towards home.

The Heaven, close to eight o'clock, had completely darkened.

There was some light in the houses of the Town's residents, but the people in those houses were like frozen dolls, with a sense of sluggishness in the light and shadows.

He looked at the time on his watch while driving.

Mo De didn't know if he should get home before eight o'clock, or rush home at a normal speed after getting off work at eight.

But in any case, getting home early wouldn't be wrong.

"Screech!"

The car, which was already quite old, stopped in front of the house with a sharp screech of brakes.

Looking at the house before him, Mo De rubbed his throbbing head, took a deep breath of the chilly air, and stepped inside.

"happy birthday to you

happy birthday to you

happy birthday to you"

A cheerful birthday song slowly emerged in his ears as he stepped into the house.

Inside the house, candles flickered with gentle Firelight.

The orange-yellow light illuminated the delicacies on the dining table.

Hong Lei's daughter and Lin Yue's wife sang the birthday song while keeping time, their faces full of smiles.

In this environment, a glance made it seem very warm.

A very warm family.

"Darling, Happy Birthday!"

"Dad, Happy Birthday!"

The two women said.

Mo De's gaze shifted between the two faces, and while forcing a fake smile, he said to Hong Lei's daughter: "Betty, what do you want to eat?"

"How about you take some things to your room to eat? Lin Yue's wife and I want to be alone for a while."

Before coming, Mo De clearly remembered the reappearing Weird Tales Rule.

For this birthday dinner, he had to choose one true relative to have dinner with him!

And this relative, the first one to exclude, was naturally Hong Lei's daughter.

Weird Tales Rule Group B number 7 says this: [7. Today is your birthday, your relative has prepared a lavish dinner for you, please be sure to dine with her alone to increase the intimacy between you two, choosing the wrong relative to dine with would be very bad.]

Inside the text, the information is very clear.

A relative preparing dinner for oneself, the one who could complete the preparation, could only be Lin Yue's wife.

This counts as very clear information.

There's nothing much to analyze either.

Hong Lei's daughter died nine years ago, the only relative is Lin Yue's wife!

If one overthought such an obvious answer, they would only deviate further from the answer readily available before them.

Mo De had heard of people who tried to be clever in this Tales of the Weird world and ended up courting death.

For example, in a certain Weird Tales game, there was a question.

1+1 = ?

The answer to this question concerned that person's life or death.

After experiencing countless difficult problems, when that person saw this final question, they were completely unwilling to believe that the real answer was as simple as 2.

Ultimately, they filled in the answer 1.

The outcome was naturally death.

The real answer was 2.

So don't overthink too much; what needs more effort is observation of details.

"Ah? Do I have to go to my room to eat?" Betty's face showed a trace of disappointment.

And Lin Yue's wife before Mo De seemed to have thought of something, she clasped her hands over her chest, and with a blush, urged Hong Lei's daughter: "Betty, be good, can you give Dad and me some time alone?"

This woman was also speaking up for him.

Mo De raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing this scene.

It seems this must be because when he talked with Lin Yue's wife after opening the door last night, he maintained the relationship and didn't become estranged.

Therefore, in the conversation, this woman leaned more towards him.

Speaking of which, Weird Tales Rule Group B number 8... is it serious?

"Alright then." Betty pouted, walking towards her room with an unhappy expression.

That posture was quite like an ordinary Child.

"Darling, come quickly and see the dishes I've made." After seeing Hong Lei's daughter leave, the woman immediately shyly pulled Mo De to sit down.

"These are all things you love to eat." The woman poured Mo De a glass of red wine, and as she deliberately lowered her body, most of the view beneath her collar was revealed.

She was wearing something a bit thin tonight, her proud figure swelling the thin clothes, her stunning profile in the candlelight haze carrying a blush, the faint scent of her body drifting, more like a cat's tail gently stroking a person's cheek, all of this seemed to be a prelude to something later.

Mo De swallowed.

In this kind of scene, if he could remain calm and composed, it could only be because his Bixie Sword Manual Cultivation was complete.

He heard that the Rules Tales of the Weird world indeed had some hidden benefits, could this be one of them?
