Chapter 9: The Grim Reaper's Hat
After a few days of precipitation, Lin Yu gradually adapted to his identity as the Grim Reaper, and the Grim Reaper's hat was also played with by him, he would sometimes put on the hat directly in and out of the dormitory door, and would not take off the hat until he sat back in front of his computer desk. And his roommate often has to finish the game in half an hour before he knowingly asks, "Hey, when are you coming back?"
In addition, the Grim Reaper's Hat also brought Lin Yu another convenience, that is, skipping class. Whether he was late or leaving early, Lin Yu could always appear and disappear out of nowhere, and when he found that the professor couldn't notice this subtle change in the classroom, Lin Yu even walked to the podium in the face of the Grim Reaper's hat unscrupulously, waved to the professor who was spitting, and then left through the front door in a dashing manner.
Of course, there is a reason why Lin Yu skipped class, and he is now experiencing very serious financial problems. Since the last car accident, Lin Yu has had no source of income for his part-time job because his motorcycle is completely unroadable.
retrieved the motorcycle from the traffic police, Lin Yu pushed it to the repair shop and asked, and the other party replied that it would take 500 yuan to repair it. This motorcycle was obtained by Lin Yu from the takeaway company after paying a deposit of 1,000 yuan, and now he has two choices in front of him, either spend 500 yuan to repair it himself, or pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan to get a new car from the company.
Lin Yu chose the former without thinking about it, because he couldn't take out a thousand yuan in his hand at all. In order to complete the novice task of the Grim Reaper, Lin Yu went to Starbucks again, went to the playground again, and finally watched a movie. So he had to use his last savings to fix his motorcycle and immediately start working part-time as a food delivery.
It's just that after becoming the Grim Reaper, every time Lin Yu rides a motorcycle past a bank branch, he will unconsciously have such a thought in his heart, if I put on the Grim Reaper's hat and walk into the bank counter now, no one should find out.
Although people like Lin Yu rarely deal with banks, he also knows that there are a lot of banknotes and gold in the bank's safe, and as long as he takes a bag and goes around inside, all economic problems can be solved.
Although such a thought in his heart would make Lin Yu fall into excitement from time to time, after he calmed down, he still rationally dispelled such thoughts. He felt that even if he really got that kind of money, he wouldn't use it, so it was better to deliver food in a down-to-earth manner and slowly accumulate it by relying on a single dollar.
Since he is already a grim reaper, Lin Yu doesn't have to worry about the reindeer rushing out of the road again, in fact, his takeaway delivery process has been particularly smooth in the past few days, and I don't know if it is an explosion of character, several customers have given him five-star praise after receiving the dishes.
I hope that this month's commission can be a little more, Lin Yu looked at his food delivery record and muttered to himself, but before he could lock the screen of his mobile phone, a banner at the top caught his attention, it was from the Grim Reaper game.
Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, but clicked on the banner to enter the game interface, and he noticed that the avatar of the protagonist of the game had an additional LV1 title, and even the virtual character in the character image wore a Grim Reaper's hat on the top of his head.
An empty experience bar appears below the character, followed by a number that says 300, meaning that you can move on to the next level after gaining 300 experience. Lin Yu curiously took a look at the abilities that could be unlocked at the LV2 level, and he found that the word 'prophet' was written in the corresponding position of the Reaper's skill tree.
Lin Yu was secretly excited in his heart, there is no doubt that the prophet means an ability that is more powerful than the Death Hat, of course Lin Yu wants to know what kind of changes will be brought after obtaining this skill, but he is still ruthless, locks the screen of his mobile phone and continues to ride a motorcycle to deliver the next order of takeaway.
What the Grim Reaper game prompted him just now was that a new task had appeared, and completing that task would give him 150 experience points, which had to be said to be a great temptation for Lin Yu. But he still remembers his last mission vividly, if he still has to spend so much money this time, Lin Yu can't afford it, rather than gaining the ability of a prophet, it is more important to let himself live first.
At the end of the day, Lin Yu was very busy in receiving and delivering orders, and it was not until eight o'clock in the evening that the last takeaway was delivered to the designated destination.
This is an old-fashioned community, there is neither an elevator nor a doorbell, to be honest, Lin Yu hates to send such a place the most, if he encounters a customer living on the tenth floor, he can only cry and climb up.
Fortunately, this time the address was written on the third floor, Lin Yu knocked on the iron door a few times, and found that there seemed to be no reaction inside, and shouted loudly through the door, "302, is anyone at home? ”
After waiting for another half a minute, Lin Yu was about to call the customer who ordered the meal, and the iron door was finally opened at this time, and Lin Yu saw that the person standing in front of him was actually a five or six-year-old child.
"Uncle, are you looking for my mother?" asked the little boy, looking up with a pair of dark eyes.
"Uh, little friend, is your mother at home, uncle has something to give her," Lin Yu felt that he couldn't give the takeaway to an ignorant child.
Unexpectedly, the answer he heard was, "My mother hasn't come back yet, uncle, why don't you come back to her later." ”
Lin Yu suddenly felt a little speechless, it seemed that there were no adults in this family now, but he still asked unwillingly, "Little friend, what about your father?"
"My father, my father, he," the little boy said, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he almost cried.
Lin Yu hurriedly turned on his mobile phone and wanted to communicate directly with the person who placed the order, and when he clicked on the software to check the other party's number, he found that he had already received a message from the customer. "Hello knight, I'm very sorry, because I'm still working overtime in the unit now, I can't accept the takeaway you send, you can hand it over to my son Haohao, this takeaway is ordered for him to eat, if you can, you can help me open the lunch box and let Haohao obediently sit at the dining table to eat, I will be grateful!"
Lin Yu sighed helplessly, he could imagine that the reason why this mother let her son have dinner at eight o'clock must be thinking that she might be able to come back earlier and cook a meal for her son herself, but he never thought that he would not be able to walk away in the company until now. As a last resort, I had to order a takeout for her son.
"Your name is Haohao, right?" Lin Yu asked as he touched the little boy's head.
A pure and flawless smile appeared on the boy's face, "Uncle, how do you know? My nickname is Hao Hao, and I am six years old this year. ”
A natural smile also appeared on the corner of Lin Yu's mouth, "Come, let's eat, sit next to this table." ”
Lin Yu opened the takeaway box according to the mother's instructions, tore open the bag, and took out the chopsticks and spoons inside and handed them to Haohao.
Haohao was really hungry, and he didn't know how to use chopsticks, so he directly took a spoon and stuffed a large mouthful of food into his mouth, and ate it with a chirp.
Lin Yu didn't know if a child of this age would be able to eat by himself, but judging from Haohao's performance, he ate very well, completely like a little adult.
"Haohao, you eat slowly, uncle will leave first," Lin Yu pinched Haohao's bulging face, walked out of the gate, and firmly closed the wooden door and the security door.
Walking out of the corridor, Lin Yu sent a message to Haohao's mother, "Don't worry, Haohao is already eating, and I closed the door when I came out." ”
The other party quickly replied with a lot of words of thanks, and unsurprisingly gave Lin Yu's delivery service a five-star praise. But looking at this five-star evaluation, Lin Yu had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad for a six-year-old child to be so sensible.
At this moment, a dialog box automatically popped up on the mobile phone screen, "Important reminder, the mission goal is within a hundred meters of you!"
This dialog box is naturally from the Grim Reaper game, and the mission target Lin Yu knew after a little thought that it must refer to the protagonist of the task that he has not yet accepted.
Is there a dead soul near me? Lin Yu turned his head to look around suspiciously, and found no abnormal existence, but when he raised his head to look at the top of this building, a floating shadow made his eyes freeze for an instant.
It was a man in a suit, who looked like he was supposed to be a high-end white-collar worker when he was alive, and the place where he stayed happened was a windowsill, through which he could see the scene inside the house.
Lin Yu looked at it from his point of view, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly, because that room was the place where he had delivered the meal just now, and what the man was looking at was Haohao eating alone.
