Life Dungeon Game

As the two walked downstairs, Aini received a text message.

"Sent by the store manager?"

He Ao pressed the elevator button and casually asked.

The only people who would message their daughter at this time, besides her boyfriend, are those involved in the recent incident.

Aini probably doesn't have a boyfriend.

"Ah."

Aini nodded slightly, glancing at He Ao. "The store manager applied for a consolation bonus of one thousand federal dollars for me, and then asked if I could switch shifts. He thinks it's too dangerous for me to work the night shift..."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "But I already told him that this is the only time I have time..."

"Resign,"

He Ao took a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but didn't light it. The elevator doors slowly opened, and he stepped in first. "He's implying that you should resign."

"But the store manager has always been very kind to me."

Annie opened her mouth, wanting to deny her father's statement.

Does he know about your situation? Does he know why you can't adjust your work hours?

He asked calmly.

"Know···"

Annie paused for a moment, then nodded.

"He knows you can't adjust your schedule, so he's trying to get you to quit by increasing the workload. You could try sending him a message saying you're quitting to see if he'll try to keep you."

He Ao sighed, "It's really too dangerous for you to be on duty alone at that time at night. If you don't resign voluntarily, he won't schedule you for shifts in a couple of days, and eventually he'll fire you directly."

This time, Annie didn't argue; what her father said did make sense.

She paused for a moment, then sent a message to the store manager announcing her resignation.

This time, the reply came almost instantly. The store manager first expressed his apologies for the fright she had suffered, and then said he would try his best to get her more consolation money.

Then they approved her resignation.

Looking at the result, Aini was at a loss for words.

She knew the store manager was actually worried about her safety, and of course, the store manager was also worried that something happening to her would cause trouble for the store.

“But…” Annie leaned against the innermost wall of the elevator and slowly squatted down, “I finally found this job after a lot of trouble.”

She glanced at He Ao, then lowered her head. "Dad, how about I go to a public high school? There's more free time there, and the fees are lower."

If you go to a public high school, you basically have no hope of getting into a good university.

Annie's grades were no worse than Pete's back then.

He Ao knew what his daughter was worried about; it all came down to money.

The daughter wanted to work hard to earn money to help support the family and reduce her father's stress.

If she really goes to a public high school, she probably won't go on to university; she'll just go out to work and earn money after graduating high school.

Given the current pressure in the job market in Limen, her salary won't be very high, and she'll barely make ends meet, eventually returning to the life her parents led, or even worse.

Once you get sick, you'll be bankrupt.

"you

"Focus on your studies, don't worry about money. A friend of mine introduced me to a job today."

He Ao also squatted down to be at eye level with his daughter.

"Dad, you found a job?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Annie's eyes, but it quickly dimmed again.

She had been looking for a job for a long time and knew how difficult it was. She also knew that the job her father had found wouldn't pay very well, otherwise he would have found one long ago.

But in order to make her father feel supported and happy, she maintained a joyful expression on her face.

"It's not a long-term job, just a temporary one. We only worked for a few hours, but it should be enough for us to live on for a while."

He Ao said slowly.

"what."

Aini paused for a moment.

How much can temporary workers earn?

She thought for a moment, "Dad, how much did you earn this time? Isn't it time to pay the mortgage? I saved a thousand federal dollars this month..."

"Not much, 150,000."

He Ao said calmly.

The elevator arrived, and the elevator doors slowly opened.

"what?!"

The little girl, who had only spoken halfway through her sentence, widened her eyes and exclaimed, "So many?"

Then, somewhat incredulously, she exclaimed, "Dad, you're so amazing?"

150,000 is her salary for more than 15,000 working hours. If she works 30 hours a week, she would have to work for more than 500 weeks and ten years to earn that much money.

"Ok?"

He Ao glanced at his daughter, reached out and rubbed her little head, and laughed, "Your dad is already amazing."

"Those who have their heads forced down will become idiots."

Aini shrank back and reached out to grab He Ao's hand.

"Hahaha."

He Ao withdrew his hand, stood up, and walked out of the elevator.

Annie tidied her disheveled hair and followed her father out of the elevator.

My father's figure was still somewhat hunched and haggard, but his steps were much lighter.

She hadn't seen her father walk with such confidence and ease in a long time.

She hadn't seen her father smile in a long time either.

It was as if the dark clouds in the sky were slowly dissipating, and the sun was shining on the earth.

Annie smiled and jogged to catch up with her father.

"Dad, how are you so amazing? You took that guy down in no time."

"Parents always have some secrets they keep from their children. Just like how you know you're not a rich kid who's been hiding it for years until the very end?"

"Huh? So, Dad, am I a rich kid?"

"No."

""

The two had already reached the door while they were talking.

Upon reaching the door, He Ao didn't rush to open it. Instead, he glanced at Aini's revitalized face and softly asked, "Were you scared?"

Annie knew her father was asking her how she felt about seeing the corpse.

Federal internet regulations are not that strict, and Aini has actually seen these restricted images by chance through some channels.

However, a fleeting glimpse in a video is not the same as the feeling of being there in person.

Although He Ao used a bath towel to cover her vision, preventing her from seeing the crucial murder, the falling towel also covered the wounds on the corpse.

However, the blood flowing on the ground and the pale-faced corpses still gave this well-behaved child a great shock.

But she knew her father was trying to save her, and she also knew that if her father hadn't come today, she would be the one lying on the ground tonight.

And her fate was definitely many times worse than that man's.

Most importantly, the person standing in front of her who committed the murder was her father, and his presence gave her a sense of security.

So although she was a little scared, she quickly calmed down.

"It's a little scary, but not that terrifying."

She looked up and smiled at He Ao.

Then she saw He's gesture, indicating that she should stand behind him.

Her expression hardened, unsure of what had happened, but she obediently switched places, visibly nervous during the process.

However, the sudden silence at this time would seem unusually abrupt.

Just as He Ao was about to speak, he heard his daughter ask in a slightly nervous tone, "Dad, you're so amazing, your part-time job... it wouldn't be..."

"what's on your mind."

He Ao smiled and gently tapped her head with one hand, while placing his other hand on the doorknob. "Your dad did everything lawful and law-abiding. Most of that money was for emotional distress."

The delicate door handle was slowly turned open.

Some writer's block.

Chapter 431 Assassination (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

As the lock cylinder was turned, He Ao controlled his consciousness to pass through the tightly closed door.

The reflection of the entire room appeared in his mind.

Refrigerator, sofa, curtains, and a figure standing in front of the curtains, seemingly blending into the surroundings.

He Ao glanced at the tiles in front of the door; on the smooth tiles were extremely faint footprints made of very fine dust.

To an ordinary person, it seems like nothing happened, but from the perspective of hypermemory, the footprint appears unusually abrupt.

As soon as He Ao stepped out of the elevator and was almost at the door, he briefly activated his super memory to take a quick look at the situation in front of the door.
