The girl looked down at the cans of food in her arms, all of which were still there. Without saying anything, she threw the can with the closest expiration date to him, then ran off in a certain direction.
Mo Li caught the can of fruit thrown by the other party, put it in his pocket, and then followed.
And the half-crying, half-smiling expression on the golden mask that he had forgotten on the ground turned into a crying face...
Chapter 24 Xier, be my sister!
Two young children were crowded in a dilapidated hut on the edge of Rivet Town.
Because this was an illegal building near the edge of the city, there was no heating equipment around it, so the two could only huddle together and rely on the only blanket to keep warm.
To be precise, it was Xier who stuck to Mo Li for warmth. As a destiny traveler, Mo Li was not afraid of this cold climate at all, so with his normal body temperature, he was like a warm baby in this cold environment.
"Mo Li, this is my name, what's yours?"
"I don't have a name..."
"Is that so? Then how about I give you a name?"
"up to you..."
The girl took out the bread she had exchanged for the expired can from her pocket and tore the hard black bread as hard as a brick with her teeth.
"Xi'er, how about this name? In the ancient language of Beloberg, it means soul."
Looking at the face of the other person who looked like the famous actress of Mihoyo, Mo Li guessed her identity and gave the girl a bright smile.
This overly dazzling smile made the girl who was eating small bites of hard bread subconsciously stop chewing, and her eyes were attracted by his smile.
"It's ok...at least it's not bad."
Coming back to her senses from her smile, Xier shyly glanced away and continued to bite the piece of hard bread with her head down.
The hard bread that was astringent and bitter just now tasted a little sweet like honey...
But...I wonder what the two words "Xi'er" would look like when written?
Reciting her own name silently in her heart, the girl's lips curled up slightly. From today on, she also had a name!
"Xi'er, be my sister!"
"Huh? Is your brain frozen?!"
Xier didn't expect Mo Li to be so greedy. She only reluctantly let this guy become her companion because he saved her life before.
So he couldn't wait to make her, the eldest, his sister?!
"If Xi'er, you are willing to be my sister, I promise to let you live a life without worries about food and drink in the future!"
Mo Li reached out and hugged Xier, but the smell on her body could not be described as pleasant, after all, Xier had been living a wandering life.
This also made Mo Li subconsciously hold his breath and continue his act of kidnapping the little loli.
No! How could he say that he was kidnapping Loli?
It was obvious that he wanted to give the homeless girl who had no one to rely on a warm home!
Besides, this Xier who is suspected to be Beloberg is undoubtedly a lonely little girl!
Judging from her current situation, Xi'er has not yet been picked up by Oleg and sent to Natasha's orphanage...
So in order to obtain survival supplies, she went to the dangerous area eroded by the rift to search for resources!
Mo Li glanced at the happiness value which had increased a lot. As for the damn notification sound, he had already turned it off.
Judging from the fact that the notification sound can be turned off, at least Aha has some conscience...
"You! Let me go! Besides, you are obviously younger than me, I am more like your sister..."
Xier said with a blushing face. The sweet smell on his body made Xier subconsciously breathe heavier.
Even if the miners spent all their savings for a month to buy perfume for their wives, it would not be as good as his scent...
"Xi'er, what are you talking about? Your prototype is a younger sister character. Are you planning to go against your role setting?"
"What nonsense is this? Are you really crazy?"
Throwing the half-eaten bread at Mo Li, Xier glared at him angrily.
Does this guy think that as long as he looks good, people will agree with whatever he says?!
And he obviously looks younger than her, so why should he be the older brother!
"If Xi'er is willing to be my sister, then this apple will be given to Xi'er!"
Like a magic trick, Mo Li took out a bright red apple from his pocket. It looked very delicious.
"Tempting me with food? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
Xier had a look of disdain on her face. Even though the apple looked delicious, she would never sell out her dignity for such a small thing!
If this gets out, how will she survive in Rivet Town? !
"Add another peach!"
"Tsk, you don't think I would agree?"
"Add another bunch of grapes!"
"You...don't try to seduce me! I will never agree to it!"
Mo Li took out more and more fruits from his pocket, many of which were fruits that Xier had never heard of before, which made Xier's expression gradually waver.
Where on earth did he get so much fruit? !
By the way, his clothes were clean and he smelled nice like perfume...
Could this guy be a young master from the upper class area who came down to have fun?
"Add another watermelon!"
After seeing him take out a big round watermelon from his inconspicuous flat pocket, Xier's eyes stayed on the fruits in silence for a while.
How did he fit so much fruit into his pocket?
"It's not impossible if you can give me a portion of fruit every day... But when you don't have any fruit, you can call me sister!"
This concession is Xier’s last stubbornness!
"Then the contract is established! Come, call me Brother Mo Li first!"
Mo Li smiled and stuffed all the fruits into Xier's hands. Looking at her cute greedy look, he really wanted to take a camera to record this scene.
The fruits in his pocket were all exchanged for canned fruits, and they were also Mo Li's test of the ability of the [Happy Wishing Machine].
There was no other way. He didn't want to eat those strange foods in the lower area, so he had to give it a try.
After he wished for "the ability to conjure up food", something that looked like a card drawing interface appeared in Mo Li's consciousness space.
There are dozens of abilities to obtain food in the prize pool, most of which come with powerful negative effects. For example, dancing naked for half a day in public can get an adult's daily share of food.
Mo Li took a look at the probability table. The probability of drawing an ability without negative effects was only 5.1%, and the probability of drawing abilities with powerful effects was 0.6%. This was a classic Mi family probability!
I can only say that Ah Ha knows how to draw cards, but he may not know what is the emperor of luck...
Just 0.6%, and I'm risking ten years of my life on it!
The ability he drew was [Unequal Food Exchange]. Simply put, he could take a small piece of bread crumbs and exchange it for a whole piece of bread!
But if you exchange it for a whole loaf of bread, you only get a small crumb!
And the greater the difference between the volume and value of the food, the more imaginary energy he needs to consume...
But Mo Li didn’t understand why this ability was related to his wish?
Obviously, what he wished for was the ability to conjure food, but the ability requires a price to be paid before obtaining food. If he doesn't have food, he can't conjure food...
Could it be that Aha is assuming that he already has "food"?
Thinking of some speculation about the underworld, Mo Li fell silent and decided not to think about the hell joke of the God of Fun.
Xier looked at the apple in her hand that she had already taken a bite of, and after hesitating for a while, she spoke in a low voice.
I ate the apples he gave me, and at most I just called him brother...
"Mo Li...Brother..."
"Speak louder, I can't hear you clearly~"
"Brother Mo Li! Okay! Are you satisfied now?"
Seeing Xier like a kitten with its fur standing on end, Mo Li used his hands to smooth down her messy hair.
Although Xi'er is fierce and aggressive now, he believes that Xi'er will show her tender side to him in the future...
Xier took small bites of the sweet and juicy apple, wanting the delicious taste to linger on her taste buds for a while longer.
When was the last time someone treated you so gently?
It seemed like it was when her parents, about whom she had a vague memory, were still alive?
They put the young girl in a secluded corner, said something to her that she could not understand, and then she died at the hands of the monsters of the Rift...
Since then, she couldn't remember how long she had been wandering...
At first, in order to survive, she picked up scraps and exchanged them for food from vendors. When she was thirsty, she went to the orphanage's relief center to ask for water.
When she encountered homeless people who wanted to bully her, she would beat them away with her fists!
She thought she would continue like this, and then one day, when she grew up and became strong enough, she would find a job that suited her in this chaotic underground city and spend her life in a daze.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with this because she had always been like this. From the time she lost her parents to the time she started wandering, she had always been alone.
But now, she has the name "Xi'er", the first companion in her life, and also...
"Then Xier, from now on we are a family!"
The boy's cheerful voice seemed to dispel the biting cold in the house. Xier felt the long-lost warmth again, and her nose felt a little sour...
"Apple, I'll give you half..."
"Eh?"
"We are a family, so I'll give you half of my stuff..."
Seeing Xier stuffing the apple into his hand with a stubborn expression, Mo Li was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and took a bite of the apple.
"Wow~ This apple is delicious!"
Looking at the boy's cute eating habits, Xier's mouth corners slightly raised, and she moved closer to him.
Chapter 25 Natasha's Orphanage (Continue to update!)
"They are all very fresh fruits. I bought them all."
"Thank you for your patronage. A total of 200 Winter City Shields!"
"Sister, it's hard for you to carry these fruits by yourself. Do you need us to help deliver them?"
Mo Li looked at the gray-haired sister who looked somewhat familiar, but because she looked a little different from what he remembered, Mo Li could not be sure of her identity.
"No, I'll ask the kids to come get it later. By the way, little brother, where are your family members?"
Natasha squatted down with a smile on her face, so that she was at eye level with Mo Li, and asked in a gentle tone.
In fact, she had been observing Mo Li's fruit stall in secret for some time.
When she first saw Mo Li, she thought he was a young master from a big upper-class family.
Whether it was Mo Li's clean clothes or his conversation and behavior, they were all out of place in the lower class area.
On the contrary, Xier, who was following him, could be seen at a glance that she was a child from a lower class area.
Moreover, these fresh fruits are not something that ordinary people can afford, and the prices are also childish...
Originally Natasha wanted to wait and see for a while, but for some reasons, she had to act faster.
"Hey, you stinky woman, what are you asking for?!"
Hearing Natasha's familiar words, Xier protected Mo Li behind her.
Ever since Mo Li brought her out to set up the stall, she had no idea how many people had used this rhetoric, wanting to adopt Mo Li as their son!
