At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

Su Che had intended to praise her, but the second half of her sentence almost directly exposed his scheme.

Feeling a little embarrassed, I couldn't help but pinch her.

Actually, you can pretty much guess without asking. There are only a few people in the team, and even if they take turns to build relationships, it's about time it was someone's sister's turn.

Yuan Xiao knew what was going on.

"Easy to use and easy to return, it's easy to use again."

Su Che left these words with a meaningful look, and then left the room as she watched him leave with a smile.

Before leaving, he made a point of going to one side of the living room to check on Jiang Nai's room.

Seeing that she was still lying paralyzed on the bed, showing no intention of getting up...

Feeling rather helpless, he scratched his head and didn't dare to go up and ask about her physical condition, fearing that she might become seductive again and use evil means to keep him.

He watched from a distance.

Nana appears to be in a deep sleep at this moment.

Her long hair was spread out on the pillow, the quilt tightly wrapped around her body, her jade arms hugging the air on the other side that didn't exist, and her face showed a hint of unsatisfaction, clearly feeling a little regretful about the empty bed.

"..."

Su Che observed this and thought to himself:

"She probably won't be able to eat breakfast or anything. If I go in now, there's a 90% chance she'll catch me and make me go back to sleep, because she's probably pretending to be asleep and setting a trap for me to offer myself up... Forget it, I'd better run away quickly."

Su Che had a good sense of avoiding battle. Taking advantage of the fact that Nai Nai hadn't suddenly launched a surprise attack, he immediately seized the opportunity, half-closed the bedroom door, and made a quick escape.

-

……

It was 9:30 a.m. when I got back to the neighborhood.

In front of the mailroom, Grandpa Fang was brewing a pot of Longjing tea, the aroma filling the entrance and drifting out through the window.

Su Che stopped at the entrance, not in a hurry to swipe his card to enter the community, but instead started chatting with the old man.

"Uncle Fang, I've already made a purchase at the place you recommended to my friend."

Su Che had many questions about Old Wang. Whether it was the efficacy of the herbal tea or its exorbitant price, it all left him with mixed feelings...

I felt I had to take this opportunity to ask Grandpa Fang.

"Oh? Little Su, how are you feeling?"

Grandpa Fang picked up a pack of cigarettes from the table, took out two Hongtashan cigarettes, and handed one to Su Che.

Su Che accepted the offer without hesitation, saying as he borrowed a light, "The effect will definitely be excellent, but the price is simply too much for me..."

He took a deep drag of his cigarette and smoked with the old security guard in front of the door.

"Huh? How could that be? I went to see Old Wang too. He's not the kind of guy who would cheat you just because you're young. Look, that packet of Longjing tea on the table, that's what I got from him. Guess how much it cost?"

"Uh……"

Su Che glanced at the tea box on the mailroom desk and saw that the packaging indeed bore the words "Xiexiu Tea Table," confirming it was not a counterfeit.

My heart skipped a beat, and I gave a number:

"Twenty-eight thousand?"

Based on the quantity and volume of the tea leaves, as well as the known unit price of medicinal tea, he came to a conclusion that was highly probable.

"What the heck?"

Old Fang almost choked on his guess, and said with a glare, "You kid, I think you really don't have much experience."

"Huh? Isn't that wrong? How much does it cost?"

Su Che was puzzled.

"A whole box, only 30!"

"?"

"30 Tianhai coins! Not a penny more, not a penny less! This is two jin of tea! So it's 15 coins per jin!"

"..."

Grandpa Fang emphasized, "Old Wang and I have known each other since we were young. Back then, he was studying metaphysics, the Five Elements, and the principles of change. He only started getting involved with traditional Chinese medicine in recent years. He's a very meticulous person and would never cheat you. Do you understand?"

"……clear."

Su Che nodded silently, speechless for a moment.

A single herbal tea, prepared by the owner, starts at 35000 yuan; over three days, it can fetch more than 100,000 yuan.

Old Fang has a big box of Longjing tea, which costs 30 yuan and lasts him a year. He drinks strong tea every day.

Su Che believes there are two possibilities regarding this outcome.

One possibility is that Grandpa Fang only bought ordinary green tea from Grandpa Wang, not expensive medicinal tea, so he was given the price of tea, which was cheap and reasonable.

Another possibility is that Grandpa Fang doesn't need to overuse his body like I do. Moreover, he knows how to maintain his health, is very healthy, and takes good care of himself. Therefore, he doesn't need to put a lot of expensive medicinal herbs into his tea recipe, which is why his tea is inexpensive.

Of course, there's also the possibility that Old Wang gave him a huge discount because of Grandpa Fang's influence, allowing him to get the goods at a bargain price.

In short, regardless of the possibility, there's no way I'm going to lower the price at this level.

【hiss……】

Su Che was convinced.

It seems that some of the valuable resources that have been paid out will eventually need to be repaid in other ways.

Money can also be overdrawn and delayed.

He said helplessly, "Alright, thank you anyway, Uncle Fang. Old Wang is really amazing; his medicine is effective and works wonders."

"Absolutely."

Old Fang chuckled, seemingly completely confident in Old Wang's abilities.

Before going back inside, he lowered his voice and added:

"Besides buying tea, if you want to get some other nice stuff, you can try asking him. That old guy can concoct all sorts of miracle cures. I heard last time he was researching an ancient sleeping potion formula... those aren't sold anymore..."

"...!"

Dangerous topics, forbidden products

Su Che chose to prick up his ears and pretend he hadn't heard.

That's incredible.

【Tianhai Tea Fairy.】

A contemporary alchemist.

I need to work hard to earn money so I can get a top-tier membership at their store and buy their herbal tea anytime, anywhere.

Su Che realized that if he had money and could cultivate a good relationship with Old Wang, it was very likely that the old man's vast knowledge could help him control any young girl he wanted, even the goddess Ari...

No, what I'm thinking is...

The inherently evil nature of the landmine man was fully unleashed at this moment.

If Goddess Ari is truly beautiful, and I desperately want her, could I perhaps use some tea and Gu Zhi's methods to...?

[If Yuan Xiao becomes disobedient in the future, and I can't bear to hit her, could I use some tea to make her completely obedient?]

If a cat is constantly crying for food and never seems satisfied, could I use some tea to completely defeat her in one night and trigger a cooldown that lasts for months or even half a year?

[Thinking about it from another angle, if a strange cat is being unruly, could I use some special tea to make her submissive in certain situations, almost like she's been hypnotized...?]

【ah……】

[Fainting Tea, Obedience Tea, Miracle Tea, Sleep-Inducing Tea...]

[If I can cultivate a good relationship with the Tea Master and have enough resources to buy and pre-order, then wouldn't I be able to...?]

"."

Su Che suddenly shuddered.

My scalp is tingling.

He realized it.

Realizing that this is a mistake, that it will expand in an uncontrollable direction, and that if left unchecked, the consequences will be unimaginable.

So he immediately put his mind at ease, took a deep breath, and decisively said goodbye to Lao Fang.

He walked briskly back to his apartment building.

click, click, click...

"Money, money, money... it's all about making money, damn it."

"In Tianhai, without money, you have nothing."

"Can't afford the things I want to buy, and don't have a big enough place to live."

"A house, herbal tea, a sum of money that makes all cats feel at ease, a sense of security that can last for decades. I don't have that kind of wealth. And it's hard for me to have it."

As the elevator ascended, Su Che pondered deeply, seeking a change in the situation.

"But I come from an ordinary background. My family went bankrupt, my father disappeared, and my mother completely gave up. I heard that the company showed no signs of improvement, and my own life became increasingly difficult after I started raising cats. If I don't go into business or live off a woman, I have no chance of turning my life around."

"Ugh."

Su Che realized that even with a magnifying glass, it was difficult to find what he wanted by looking for a breakthrough on a fixed background.

"My life has been filled with obstacles and thorns at every turn."

"If I hadn't met An Qing, I might have already..."

"Ah."

Su Che smiled.

They didn't continue.

At times like these, it's better to clear your mind, focus on the cats around you, and be down-to-earth.
