Ark, I got cold a little early

"So soon? Uh, well, there's not much there actually."

……

Hongyu had already chosen a house to live in. It was a house he rented on a street with relatively cheap rent but a good environment.

The house is designed with two floors. The first floor is a sculpture art shop opened by the original owner, and the second floor is a living room. Both floors are rented to Hongyu.

As for where does Hongyu get his money from when he spends all day at the welfare home with Skadi and has no time to earn money...

The answer is that Hongyu rubbed it with his own hands.

Although Hongyu can teleport at will, perform mental hypnosis, and has extremely powerful combat capabilities, all of these settings have been optimized by this time travel, making him look like a Sai Rabbit that has been given ten thousand harmony patches.

But there is no problem in copying and fabricating some money.

As for why Hongyu didn’t make more money…Have you heard of the crime of huge amounts of property of unknown origin?

So it’s not that Hongyu doesn’t want to, but that he can’t, especially in a city like Agor where the jurisdiction is extremely strict.

Another reason why Hongyu chose this building in the concession was that he could use the excuse of selling sculptures and handicrafts to cover up the fact that he was cheating and making money.

Everyone knows that sculpture shops are very idle when they are idle and very busy when they are busy, but sculpture is something that Hongyu can easily handle. Although he does not have the abnormal physical data like the "Year" he had to deal with last time, sculpture, which is a delicate job that does not require fighting, is still no problem for Hongyu.

What's more, no matter how busy you are, there's nothing you can't solve with a copy (except for things that are too large or very delicate).

In short: The sculpture shop is simply the best prop to cover up my cheating and money-making tricks!

"Sculpture?" Skadi looked at Hongyu in confusion, and asked curiously, "Yu, can you do this? Aren't you a psychologist?"

Originally, Skadi had expected that Hongyu would take her to a house similar to a psychiatrist's office. But she didn't expect that this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes would hide his identity from her?

“Are you still a sculptor?”

"Ahem... um, the original... clinic was sold by me because it had no money and no future. Now I want to become the greatest sculptor in Agor. Diti, do you recognize me?" Hongyu coughed twice and smiled awkwardly at Skadi.

Ah, I've been a sweeper in the welfare home for so long that I almost forgot I have the added bonus of being a psychologist...

The corners of Hongyu's mouth twitched twice as he thought numbly.

Skadi watched Hongyu's antics, and after a while, she stood on tiptoe and touched Hongyu's head as if comforting a child.

"Well, I believe you."

Skadi: Hey (▔, ▔) Hey (I've gradually gotten used to this unreliable adult.)

"Well... I'm glad you don't hate it." Hongyu opened the door of the room. The inside was exceptionally clean because he had been cleaning it from time to time. It didn't look like a shabby house for rent at all.

Speaking of this house, I didn't know at the beginning that Skadi's adoption procedures would take half a year, so I prepared the house a long time ago, which now seems like a joke.

Where's the joke...

I've already paid five months' rent...and even though no one's living there, I still have to come and clean the place once a week...

If this isn’t a case of being taken advantage of, what is?

Ugh……

But sculpture?

I wonder if it will attract a shark that loves sculptures...

"Ulpian, what are you wiping?" The question from his colleague made Ulpian stop wiping the photo.

"It's just a photo frame from more than ten years ago." Ulpian gently placed the photo frame in his hand into his storage box.

The picture above is of myself before I had the Deep Sea Hunter surgery, and I was arm in arm with a jerk who was forgotten by almost everyone except a few people.

I was still young at that time, and this outgoing guy became my friend for a while at the beginning. Although I later separated from this guy because I became a deep-sea hunter, he unexpectedly appeared in the deep-sea hunter team long after I joined the army.

That guy really lived up to what he boasted to himself.

"I want to save the world!"

Such words can come out of the mouth of an adult... Haha, it's really funny.

But the dramatic thing is that he did it.

The price was that he was almost forgotten by everyone who knew him.

It's so dramatic, asshole. You left us to fulfill your boast. How childish.

Ulpian couldn't help but sigh, then silently closed the lid of the storage box.

I have been working hard on my math homework at noon and haven't written anything. Fortunately, I have a draft saved, so I'll post it first.

Thanks to "Silent" and "?光耀" for their monthly tickets

Chapter 37: I didn’t catch a shark, but I saw a swordfish…

“You really are good at it…”

Skadi placed her hands on the cabinet, bent her body, and supported her entire face with her arms. At the same time, she looked at Hongyu who was working on the sculpture.

Skadi originally thought that he just rented a cheap house and couldn't find a reason to fool her, but she didn't expect that he really had such a skill.

"I rely on this skill to catch sharks..." Hongyu said this incoherently while wiping the debris left on his hands due to sculpture.

"Shark?" Skadi tilted her head in confusion. "What does sculpture have to do with catching sharks?"

"Ahem, it's nothing. Children don't know how to joke."

Skadi looked disdainful and said, "...Are you a child?"

Facing Skadi's contempt, Hongyu just grinned and said, "As long as I maintain a young mentality, no one can deny that I think of myself as a child!"

"It's almost done..."

"When adults are going crazy, children should stay out of the way." Hongyu took out another killer whale doll from the drawer and handed it to Skadi. "Here, this is hush money."

Skadi's eyes lit up instantly as she took the doll handed to her by Hongyu, and at the same time, she wisely shut her mouth that had been talking back at Hongyu.

Skadi likes dolls that look like killer whales or strange little things related to killer whales, so whenever Skadi can't control her childish mouth, Hongyu will use these little things to shut her mouth.

By now her drawers might be filled with all sorts of killer whale pendants.

but……

"Where did you get these dolls? I've never seen you sell a sculpture. Where did you get the money..." Skadi held two killer whale dolls with a satisfied expression, but still asked Hongyu with some curiosity.

Hongyu's hand, which was handling the sculpture, froze for a moment.

"I made it myself." Hongyu said seriously.

Although what he did was indeed correct, after all, his sleeping habits determined that he would definitely do this, but Skadi's question also reminded him.

But isn’t it a bit unfounded that our money came from nowhere?

"...Yeah." Skadi didn't doubt Hongyu, but buried her head in the doll and made a sound of agreement.

That’s right, if a guy who knows nothing else says he can actually weave, most people won’t believe him. But if someone who is considered a jack of all trades suddenly says he can weave, everyone will just exclaim, “Wow, he can do that!”

In Skadi's eyes, Hongyu is now perhaps close to that omnipotent character.

While Skadi was immersed in the doll's gentle embrace, Hongyu was thinking about how to attract customers.

After all, my sculpture shop has been open for almost two weeks, and I haven't had any customers, but I still have a steady flow of funds... I feel a little uneasy. Even if you come alone, it's enough...

After much thought, Hongyu decided to go out and try his luck to see if he could learn some business ideas from other art stores. Besides, Skadi had been staying with him all the time and had never come out, which was a bit inconvenient.

It just so happens that this time when I go out, I can also take a look at some places around here that I can take Skadi to see. If I'm lucky, I might even encounter something like a ghost shark, a ghost shark, a ghost shark, or something like that...

"Skadi, I'm going out for a while." So, Hongyu said this and opened the door that had been closed for a long time and walked out.

"Oh." Skadi nodded obediently, and the reluctance in her eyes was well concealed by herself.

After Hongyu walked out the door, Skadi ran back to her room, took out another white killer whale pillow and put it on the counter of the sculpture shop.

"Until Yu comes back, you are the new 'Yu'! Let's call you 'Second Yu'!" Skadi crossed her arms and nodded, seeming to be very satisfied with her arrangement.

After saying that, Skadi looked at the shop door that no one opened.

It doesn't really matter whether there's a reception desk or not, there's no one there anyway...

Yu, I'm so bored. When will you come back?

After waiting for Hongyu for three minutes, Skadi lay beside "Eryu" and thought about it boredly.

……

……

……

At this time, Hongyu was sitting on a bench in the park, with an Agor woman with long golden hair beside him.

She was holding a book that Hongyu couldn't understand and was studying it, looking like a typical good student.

Sigh... why is there no sculpture art store nearby... how can I plagiarize it? Bah! I can learn from their business ideas...

Forget it, the worst that can happen is that I will be more restrained when "making" money in the future. At least this way, Agor's tax bureau won't notice that I have slipped through the net.

But... what the hell is this depressing feeling of business failure after opening a store and having no one around for two weeks?

Sighing, Hongyu opened a pack of "cigarettes" dejectedly and took out a cigarette and put it to his mouth.

"Sir, please don't smoke in this place."

Just as Hongyu put the "cigarette" in his mouth, the blonde girl who had been sitting next to Hongyu spoke.

"Cigarette?" Hong Yu was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and put the "cigarette" in his mouth. Then, under the cold gaze of the girl... he began to chew...

Girl:?

"This is not a cigarette, it's a kind of candy that looks a lot like cigarettes... oh yes, the packaging is similar too, I bought it because it thought it was interesting." Hongyu chewed and raised a thumbs up with a healthy smile on his face.

Girl: Cold eyes...

The atmosphere gradually became silent.

Although there was no awkward feeling between the two of them, because one of them turned his head back to read the book in his hand, and the other didn't even feel awkward at all.

Seeing that the blonde girl in front of him had no intention of talking to him, Hongyu stopped showing off and just started eating candy out of boredom again.

Although Hongyu was very dissatisfied that there were no candied haws for sale in Agor, the sugar here was still quite good. He just didn't know how sugar was produced under the sea.

However, since Agor's background setting is almost an ideal city of the future, it is better not to worry too much about it.

When he was bored, Hongyu glanced at the title of the book held by the girl next to him.

"A mandatory course in Trench Development Engineering at the Agor Technical College..."

Wow, I don’t understand. Young people nowadays are really getting better and better with each generation.

Hongyu took out the thermos cup he carried with him and took a sip of hot water.

"It's a required course for trench exploration technology." The girl closed her book. "It's very rude to look at other people's books without permission, sir."

It can be understood as... it's like you are reading a novel on the bus, and an old man next to you insists on coming over to take a look.

"Ah...ah, sorry." Hongyu smiled awkwardly and then apologized.

"But...it's really amazing that you can understand such a profound book at such a young age."

Hearing this, the girl's face showed a hint of resentment. "It's just my mother's order. I don't love these things, nor am I good at them."

Eh...did I say something wrong?

"Ah...ah..." Hongyu was speechless for a while, and then he closed his mouth consciously.

"I'm sorry, sir, for saying something that embarrassed you." The girl stood up and bowed slightly, then said, "But I have to leave now, I hope you don't mind."

"Ah, no, no, uh..." Hongyu took a sip of water. "But, may I ask, Miss, what is your name..."

The blonde girl didn't doubt anything and answered Hongyu's question casually.

"Golatia."

"puff--!!!"

Are you blonde?!
