Chapter 14: Laughter (Asking for Recommendations, Collections, Investments)
"Whew~"
Mr. Ketton closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them, his red eyes were restored.
"I'm fine, Adam. Mr. Ketton said to Adam with a smile, though the smile was a bit far-fetched.
"Old man, I'll ask..."Teacher Keton just wanted to ask the old man a question, but the old man interrupted Keton's words, "I know what you want to ask, send you four words, you will die." Your enemies are deliberately calculating your gains, even if I lend you the secondary artifact and you get the specified items, those of your companions will still die. ”
"That's all I can tell you, and now it's time to talk about the assignment I've given. ”
"Okay~" Cuton sighed deeply again.
"Then I'll ask you a question about the mission, does the person you're looking for matter to you?"
This time it was the old man's turn to sigh, "Very important, very important. ”
Mr. Cuton said to Adam, "Adam, I suggest you take this task. ”
"Good, Mr. Keton. Adam didn't ask why, he was sure that Mr. Ketton wouldn't cheat him. And the reward of that sub-artifact is very attractive, even if you don't find anyone, you will give a sixth-order weapon, and you will not lose money.
"Senior, I've taken over your task. ”
"Okay, I'm sure you won't regret taking on this task. The old man was very happy, "Come here, and I will pass on the address and information about the girl to you." ”
Adam obediently walked to the old man, the old man's fingertips became red, and pointed on Zhang Jue's head, Adam felt that he had lost his mind for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing next to Teacher Keton, and there was already an extra memory in his mind.
After doing this, the old man sat back on the chaise longue, waved his hand, and signaled that he could go.
It was rare that Mr. Keton did not taunt the old man, but bent down to express his gratitude, and Adam followed the example of Mr. Keton to bend over the old man, and then carried the box beside him.
As the two of them walked out of the store, Adam seemed to sense something, so he looked back, only to see that the broken door had become a wall.
"Mr. Keton, what's going on. Adam asked, confused.
Teacher Keton looked at Adam's surprised expression and said with a smile: "When I first came out of here, I was also like this, I was full of surprise at the disappearance of the door, and later I learned that the shop has been shrouded in a magic array, can you see it, can you go in, show the old man's meaning." ”
"Oh~" Adam nodded thoughtfully.
...
At the entrance of the Star Academy, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them.
"Adam, when are you leaving? ”
"The day after tomorrow, I'm going to meet with my neighbors for a meal in the past two days, otherwise I won't know when I will meet again after I leave this time, after all, people have taken care of me for so many years, and I can't just leave like this. Adam replied after a moment's thought.
Mr. Keton nodded in agreement: "Yes, you did a good job." This money is given to you, otherwise you don't have a penny on you, how can you invite people to dinner. ”
Mr. Cotton put a bag of money in Adam's hand.
Adam looked at the money in his hand and asked, "Teacher Keton, why are you so good to me?"
Mr. Ketton smiled, touched Adam's head and said, "Because I identify with you." ”
"Is it that simple?" said Adam.
"The relationship between people can be complex or pure. Just as an old man gives you equipment but gives you tasks, or as your neighbor helps you without expecting anything in return. ”
Adam looked down and thought about it.
Teacher Keton rubbed Adam's head vigorously: "You don't have to communicate now, it doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you will naturally understand how much you have experienced." ”
"Thank you, teacher. Adam whispered.
"It's okay, it's getting dark now. Let's go back. ”
"Okay, goodbye, teacher. Adam waved away.
The teacher waved as Adam left.
On the way home, Adam sold a bunch of things that he was usually reluctant to eat, and when he reached the door, he already had a bunch of food in his hand.
Adam stood in front of Uncle Hall's door and knocked on it with his hand.
Crunch, the door is opened. The head of a young boy was exposed.
"Hi, Bessie. Adam greeted the little boy.
"Big brother Adam, come in. My mom is cooking in there. Bessie happily opened the door.
When Adam came in, he put the food on the table in the living room.
As if he heard the voice, the people inside also stopped their movements and walked out.
"Aunt Cheryl, I haven't seen you in a long time. Adam said politely.
"Adam, child, where have you been?" said Aunt Cheryl as she walked up to Adam and looked at Adam with concern.
"Haha, it's been out for a while again, it's okay. Adam gestured at his muscles and said he was fine.
"That's good, that's good, why are you still holding a bunch of things here?" Aunt Cheryl scolded when she saw the contents of the table.
"I have made some money, but I can't repay it, so I can only buy some food to compensate you first. ”
Aunt Cheryl frowned, as if she wanted to refuse, Adam hurriedly said, "Please don't refuse, besides, I can't finish eating so much I bought." Wouldn't it be a pity if it broke tomorrow?"
Aunt Cheryl pursed her lips, "Okay, forget it this time." Don't do this next time, how much does it cost to eat so much? ”
"Alright, Aunt Cheryl. Uncle Hall, why haven't you come back yet?" asked Adam.
Cheryl glanced at the watch on the wall and said, "Your Uncle Hall will be back soon." ”
"Okay, then I'll help you cook. Adam put the box in the corner and began to cook with Aunt Cheryl.
Half an hour later, Adam put all the cooked dishes on the table.
"Adam has worked hard for you. ”
"It's a trivial matter, I'm very strong. ”
While the two were talking, the door opened.
"I said how can it smell so good, you can smell it outside. It turned out to be Adam. As he spoke, Hale gave Adam a bear hug.
"I haven't seen you for more than a month, and my body is growing. Hall shook Adam's arm.
"It's alright, Uncle Hall. Not as strong as you. Adam said modestly.
...
"Wife, you're really down. So many good dishes and good meats. Hall sat down, picked up a piece of meat, ate it over and over again, and said vaguely.
Aunt Cheryl glanced at Hall and said, "That's what Adam brought, saying that he made some money and invited us to have a meal." ”
When Uncle Hall heard this, he glared at Adam: "This is the only time, not the next one." It's not good to save money to marry a wife, what are you doing with this. ”
Adam reluctantly said "Okay~"
After Aunt Cheryl finished her work, the four of them began to eat.
During the meal, Hall danced with the strength of the wine, causing everyone to laugh.
This period of food was eaten for a long time before it was hastily over.
Originally, Adam wanted to help clean up, but Aunt Cheryl pushed Adam out of the door and said, "Go to bed." ”
Adam laughed and walked back to his room.
