Chapter 19 Chunai

Chapter 19 Chunai
Wang Xi put down his phone and the door rang.

The takeaway has arrived.

I opened the door and saw the familiar delivery man outside.

"Mr. Wang." The girl in a yellow uniform and a helmet handed over the insulated bag. "Your takeout has arrived. Enjoy your meal!"

"Ms. Ning Meng, it's you again. Thank you."

Wang Xi took the bag with a smile.

Ning Meng put on a professional smile and replied, "You're welcome." She turned around and prepared to leave when Wang Xi stopped her.

"Ms. Ning Meng, when you went to pick up your meal, did you pay attention to the hygiene of this restaurant?"

The delivery girl stopped.

She turned back to look at Wang Xi, her smile turned serious, and she said in a serious tone:

“Clean and hygienic!”

Then he added:
"The floors and tables are gleaming. Even though the environment isn't as clean as a 'sterile laboratory,' it's pretty close. The lady in charge of the kitchen is also very attentive. Every dish is meticulously crafted. She even holds a master chef certificate..."

"So Mr. Wang, please eat with confidence."

"So impressive?" Wang Xi laughed in surprise. "But it seems like you're very familiar with this store."

"Yeah." Ning Meng nodded seriously. "My family runs it."

"I also cooked the dishes you eat."

"..."

Wang Xi was stunned.

So this girl not only works part-time as a delivery girl and courier, but also as a top chef?

No wonder they spare no effort to praise...

"Okay, Mr. Wang, please give me a five-star rating if possible. I have a new order. Bye."

Ning Meng glanced at her phone and walked into the elevator.

Funny girl.

Wang Xi smiled and returned to the living room with the takeaway.

The food still tasted delicious, and he was really hungry, so he wolfed it down and finished it all.

Before the sun set, he took off his shirt and sat cross-legged on the balcony.

Photosynthesis

Wang Xi activated this card for the first time.

There was a flash of green light.

His skin turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his entire body looked as if it was coated with dye.

The sunlight near dusk was not glaring, and when it shone on his body, he felt as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.

It seemed as if there were small mouths under his skin, constantly sucking in the sunlight and transforming it into some kind of magical energy to feed his muscles and bones.

"Huh...comfortable."

Wang Xi closed his eyes and faced the sun.

In this way, he sat on the balcony until the sun went down.

Only after it was completely dark did he stop photosynthesis. The green skin faded away, and he felt a slight strengthening of his body.

Although the improvement was slow, he was still very happy.

After all, this is a reusable function card. Over time, the benefits it brings to the body are definitely no less than those of a skill card.

After finishing his practice in the sun, Wang Xi immediately started practicing the "Randall Body Building Method".

He didn't even put on his clothes, but just lay on the balcony and got beaten.

Bang bang bang!
An invisible force hit him, making continuous muffled sounds.

Wang Xi groaned, his muscles trembled, and sweat splashed.

...

Early the next morning.

Wang Xi woke up from the pain.

His limbs looked like they had secretly played mahjong all night while he was asleep, and now they were listless and extremely weak.

The electronic clock on the bedside kept ringing. He reached out and slapped it, ending the noise that disturbed his dream.

Just as he was about to continue sleeping, Wang Xi thought of something else.

"I think I have a meeting with Chu Na today."

He glanced at the electronic clock. It was eight o'clock, two hours before the agreed time of ten o'clock.

The house left by my parents is located in the Chaodu District, south of the center of Gucheng. It is not far from the agreed location, the Huanguang District, and can be reached in half an hour by rail.

There was still plenty of time, so he got up, washed up, and changed into a simple gray short-sleeved shirt and striped casual pants.

She went downstairs carrying a milky white cross-body bag.

When Wang Xi arrived at the Fantasy Light Area by rail car, it was just after nine o'clock.

He strolled slowly along the road near Huanguang Primary School, with a row of sycamore trees on both sides.

It is now the end of May, and the trees are growing vigorously. Among the large dark green palm-shaped leaves are some unripe small balls of fruit.

The bark of the trees was mottled and peeling, and there were a few flying dolls on the road, sweeping the sidewalk.

Wang Xi walked to an abandoned small amusement park. The facilities inside were old and damaged, the paint on the slide was badly peeling, and the sand pool was full of dead branches, leaves, bottles and cans.

There was no one here, but he and Chunai used to come here to play often.

After finding a place to sit down by the flower bed, Wang Xi's cell phone rang.

This is a message from Chunai:

"Are you up yet?"

Wang Xi replied:
"Already here. (rolls eyes)"

beep.

"what?!"

More than ten seconds passed.

beep.

"Brother Xi, wait a moment, I'll be there soon!"

"(The Goose Runs Wildly)"

Wang Xi exited the chat app and started reading the news.

In this era, the media is still the same, writing whatever catches the eye, even the headlines are quite explosive.

It's like a toilet where a naughty kid threw a flying monkey into. There's something exciting going on outside the shit.

"The Sky Dome Corporation announced its takeover of Gucheng's water supply, prompting protests from residents: water prices have tripled, and the water tastes like urine!"

"'Sparkling Group' launches a versatile artificial 'Neon Contact Lenses', offering 100,000 colors and patterns to choose from, and they can even serve as a light source at night!"

"A maid robot malfunctioned in a restaurant in the Dawn District, throwing customers into the synthetic food cabinet in an attempt to make a new type of burger!"

"A major murder occurred in the Furnace District. Two cardholders fought on the street, resulting in 22 deaths and hundreds of injuries."

"The Public Security Bureau has issued a recent announcement: the identities of the two perpetrators have been identified. They are members of the underground group 'Ghost Grid.' Below are photos and information on some of the group's wanted individuals... If you have any relevant information, please call the Public Security Bureau hotline to report it. You may receive a reward of up to one million credits."

Wang Xi kept flipping through the news and advertisements. "With a new world of transcendence, great power will be yours, but the potential for destruction and harm will also increase..."

he thought.

In a seemingly peaceful city, in addition to being prepared for disasters that may occur at any time, one must also be vigilant against criminal forces hidden underground.

If you are not strong enough and encounter an accident, whether you can survive will depend entirely on fate.

"Hey!"

Wang Xi's shoulder was suddenly patted gently, and a soft and beautiful female voice came to his ears.

Turning my head, I saw a pretty girl in a white dress with cascading silver hair standing in front of me.

Chu Nai's light blue eyes were smiling.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

The girl apologized.

She held out a hot drink of sweet milk.

"As compensation, I brought you something to drink."

"Thank you." Wang Xi stood up with a smile, took the drink and took out a bag of breakfast from his canvas bag. "Your favorite glutinous rice balls."

"Brother Xi, do you still remember what I like to eat?"

Chu Nai took the breakfast, sniffed it, and smiled as her eyes narrowed into crescents.

"It smells good."

"Sit down and eat."

Wang Xi and Chunai sat by the flower bed and ate breakfast.

"How have you been doing in Dongzhou these years?"

Wang Xi took a sip of milk and asked casually.

The girl was silent for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Not bad. The cities over there are bigger than here in Nanzhou, but disasters are more frequent. Luckily, Dongzhou University, where I study, has strong protective measures, so everything is going well."

"What about you?"

"You know my grades. I almost didn't get my diploma. Then I searched for a job for six months and found nothing."

Wang Xi smiled and shook his head.

"Luckily, Uncle Tang Yi recommended me to Cupid Housekeeping, and I just started working there a few days ago."

"Cupid Housekeeping? What position?"

Chu Nai frowned slightly.

"Scavenger." Wang Xi smiled.

"This... is too dangerous."

There was a flash of worry in the girl's eyes.

"Brother Xi, why don't you find a safer job?"

"We can barely make ends meet, let's just work on it."

Wang Xi shook his head.

Chu Nai turned his back and groped around.

Then he took out a bank card, handed it to him, and whispered:
"This is the scholarship I've saved over the years, hundreds of thousands. Brother Xi, take it and use it first."

"What are you doing?" Wang Xi didn't answer. Instead, he glanced at the girl and said with a playful smile, "You want to support me."

Chunai chuckled, her smile charming.

"Can't I?" she whispered.

"not enough."

Wang Xi finished the last sip of milk and said casually.

"At least one million."

“The requirements are quite high.”

Chunai hummed.

"Okay then." She thought for a moment and whispered, "When I save up one million, you can change jobs."

"Okay." Wang Xi smiled and pushed the card back.

This is considered to be the end of the story.

Even in his previous life, he never took money from girls. Playing with feelings instead of money was his bottom line as a professional sea king.

"Why do you want to go back to Nanzhou instead of staying in Dongzhou to continue your development?"

Wang Xi changed the subject.

Chu Nai looked at him deeply, tilted his head, brushed a strand of silver hair behind his ear, and said:

"The competition over there is too fierce. Whether it's the government or the consortium, there are countless geniuses. They have strong backgrounds, how can I compare to them..."

lie!

Wang Xi could tell at a glance that Chu Nai was not telling the truth.

Because every time Chu Nai told a lie, he would make little movements like tilting his head and flicking his hair, which he was very familiar with.

But Wang Xi didn't expose it.

Or rather, he would never expose it.

"Even a genius like you can't win? How bizarre."

Wang Xi sighed.

"So what are your plans when you return to Gucheng?"

"My advisor has made arrangements for me in advance. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be working in the Overlooking Bureau."

Chunai said.

Wang Xi was not surprised.

A genuine top student like Chunai is either reserved by a consortium or selected by the government. After graduation, he or she will definitely not be on the same starting line as ordinary people.

"He returned home in glory and became a civil servant."

Wang Xi joked.

"What position?"

"I'm not sure yet." Chunai smoothed his silver hair again and looked away. "Probably a clerk or something."

Lying again...

Wang Xi said secretly.

Because the two were sitting close to each other, Wang Xi could clearly see a long, golden scar on the back of Chu Nai's fair and delicate neck.

In sight.

The entry slowly appeared above the girl's head——

"Chuna (Green/Skull)"

Wang Xi's pupils suddenly shrank.

The skull and crossbones logo exceeds the five-star rating.
