After half a lifetime of navigating the world, the system tells me to be a good big brother!

Li Qing tightened his grip on Lin Xia's shoulders, feeling a sense of relief.

"You're really useful, both at night and during the day, hehehe..."

"Get lost! You're never doing anything productive!"

Lin Xia shoved his shoulder into his chest, then got off the pool table and turned to walk toward the bar.

Watching Lin Xia walk away, Li Qing called out to her again.

"Daxia, could you bring me that box of eggplants later?"

After speaking with Lin Xia, Li Qing turned around and went to the restroom to relieve himself.

While he was relieving himself, Li Qing opened the system panel and checked the progress of yesterday's mission.

[Task: Correct the unruly behavior of a child; Task status: In progress, 98% complete]

Seeing the task progress increase again, Li Qing couldn't help but laugh.

He could picture the brat getting beaten, especially his fleshy body trembling under each slap.

"Almost there, almost there! Another 150 merit points will be credited to my account soon. I only need 49 more merit points before the next lottery draw. Looks like I still have to work harder!"

With this in mind, Li Qing had roughly figured out the system's mechanics in just over a day.

It turns out that you don't necessarily have to wait for the system to issue a task to earn merit points.

If he takes the initiative to help others, and the matter is positive, then he will be able to gain merit.

So that's simple; after this, we need to do more good deeds.

He shook his big gun and took a few steps back to the private room.

Upon entering, you'll see a white ball taking off from an eight-ball table, hitting the wall and bouncing back.

Liu Heng was leaning on the pool table, laughing so hard he couldn't straighten up, and he kept teasing Lao Niu.

"You're flying a bit too low!"

Old Niu didn't react to the teasing at all; given his thick skin, this was just standard practice.

"Hey you two, that's enough!"

As Li Qing spoke, she sat down on the sofa to rest, holding a bottle of iced tea in her hand.

"You two have already had quite a bit to drink, so you'd better watch your step before you hit it, or you'll damage my tablecloth. A tablecloth is quite expensive!"

Liu Heng walked to the sofa, placed the billiard cue on the side, and took a sip of his drink.

"So I'm not as important as yours?"

Just as they were talking and laughing, the door to the room was pushed open from the outside.

Lin Xia was holding a wooden box and walking gracefully toward Li Qing.

The wooden box was placed on the small coffee table. Lin Xia left without exchanging any words with Li Qing.

Liu Heng then smiled and said to Li Qing, "Well done, Qing, not bad. This sister-in-law is quite lucky."

"Hehehe, it's alright, barely presentable enough to take out. Come on, try my eggplant!"

Li Qing opened the wooden box, took out a cigar still wrapped in plastic, and handed it to Liu Heng.

After Liu Heng took the cigar, Li Qing took out his own white cigar.

Old Niu, who was enjoying playing ball by himself, saw the wooden box on the table, put down his cue stick, and came over.

"Brother Qing, you're really high-class!"

Li Qing took out a General's stick, lit it, and immediately unleashed a powerful backflip.

"What's with all this talk about class and quality? It's just a cheap thing, and I just can't get used to smoking it."

The first time I smoked an cigar was when I was with Brother Dong. One puff almost killed me. I'll stick with this one; it'll really hit my lungs!

Liu Heng, a seasoned veteran from Jinan, was no stranger to cigars. He skillfully unpacked the cigar, cut the tip, and lit it.

The three of them spent the entire afternoon in this billiards hall, playing billiards, smoking, and chatting until evening.

That evening, after the two had sobered up, he took them out for another meal and even arranged a full-service package for them.

After he had settled them all in, it was already past ten o'clock, and he slowly pushed his wheelchair home.

Walking under the dim streetlights, with not a single star in sight, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of emotion about his experiences over the past two days.

From his initial surprise when the system contacted him, to later winning cash and abilities in a lottery.

He then repaid the debt and, through Lao Niu, got in touch with Liu Heng's business.

He didn't know whether all of this was a genuine change of fortune for him, or a change brought about by the system.

All of this felt like a dream, but it actually felt pretty good to him.

Li Qing shook his head, trying to banish these thoughts from his mind. He didn't know why he was feeling so melancholic.

Pushing open the door, I saw Lin Xia wearing a face mask, her eyes glued to the TV.

"You're back? You've arranged everything?"

"It's all arranged!" Li Qing replied while changing his shoes.

Just as he was about to sit down next to Lin Xia, she pushed him into the bathroom.

"Go wash up first; you reek of cigarettes and alcohol!"

Li Qing obediently went into the bathroom and washed herself thoroughly, because she couldn't discuss the project if she was dirty.

You can't exactly arrange a full package for those two while he himself remains celibate.

While he was taking a shower, the mischievous kid finally completed his task, and his merit points increased by 150.

I wonder what that brat went through that made him correct his behavior in just one day.

When he came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, the living room lights were already off.

Upon entering the bedroom, one could see Lin Xia leaning against the headboard, scrolling through videos on her tablet.

Li Qing leaned against Lin Xia and naturally embraced her.

"I'll be busy again tomorrow; I took on some work for myself today."

I need to help Liu Heng thoroughly inspect his car, so I probably won't have much time to go to the billiards hall.

Keep an eye on things at the billiards hall!

Lin Xia nodded in response and put the tablet aside.

"Don't worry about the billiards hall, I'll keep an eye on it. You just do your thing."

But you have to be back early tomorrow night. Your mom called me again tonight, and we absolutely have to go over for dinner tomorrow.

"Okay, okay, I got it!" After saying that, he flipped over and pinned Lin Xia down.

"Tap tap tap!"

"What's wrong with the curtains drawn? I can't see anything with the lights off!"

Another night of hard work, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Li Qing, who had his attributes boosted, didn't feel much of a difference, but the people next to him were much more tired.

But both of them had things to do, so Lin Xia didn't stay in bed.

After leaving the house and going downstairs, Lin Xia rode her new national standard electric bicycle and first dropped Li Qing off at the motorcycle shop before leaving alone.

Li Qing, who sat on the back of the electric scooter the whole way, was extremely uncomfortable. He couldn't sit comfortably, couldn't stretch his legs, and had a hunched stomach.

Inside the motorcycle shop, Xiao Guo was as diligent as ever, leading the shop assistants in cleaning.

"Guo'er, after you finish cleaning, bring two people to the back storage room."

Li Qing gave Xiao Guo some instructions and then went into the warehouse to get busy.

They pushed all the cars that Liu Heng had selected yesterday together, one by one, and Xiao Guo and the other two joined in afterward.

Then Li Qing, along with Xiao Guo, began to re-inspect all the vehicles.
