Chapter 52: The Second Option
His heart was beating rapidly, Lu Xiaobu felt his mouth dry, and he even wondered if he was hallucinating because of playing a game.
After all, this is simply impossible, just complete such a cat search activity with a rating of 1,000, can you get a reward of 100 million? Ghosts won't believe it.
"Village Chief, are you serious? Just complete a cat-finding task and give me 100 million? Lu Xiaobu was skeptical.
The village chief smiled, "Is 100 million a lot?" With the skills of a cook and a blacksmith, you can earn a billion in minutes, and what you get is just a fraction. Ahem, take it if you want, don't force yourself, you can leave after taking it, but it's better not to make a noise and just keep your mouth in mind."
Lu Xiaobu's heart was beating harder and harder, and he had the urge to reach out and take the money and leave several times, but his intuition told him that it was not that simple.
100 million is a lot, so much so that you may not be able to spend it in a lifetime. But are there very few people in this world who are worth more than 100 million, or even 10 billion? Wrong, there are many such people.
Lu Xiaobu was thinking, what did he do after taking this 100 million? Splurge and enjoy like a salted fish? Lying in a comfortable nest and relying on 100 million to feed for a lifetime?
It wasn't the day he wanted.
The rich people mentioned earlier, although they have wealth, they have never slackened, and they are still working hard to reach higher peaks.
Of course, Lu Xiaobu can also use the money to do business, but well, if his head goes to do this business, it is estimated that he will lose all his money in less than three years.
"And the second option?" Lu Xiaobu suppressed the restless thoughts in his heart and asked calmly.
The village chief smiled at the corner of his mouth, and instead of directly answering Lu Xiaobu's question, he turned to the imperial chef and said, "Chef Zhang, look at what you did today?" Don't know about the presence of the master? Why don't you take the master to your place and make some good vegetarian food."
Zhang Yuchu nodded, got up and walked next to Master Lonely Moon, clasped his hands together and said, "I don't know that Master Lonely Moon is here today, and the hospitality is not good, please forgive me, and ask the master to move to the cold house to get together, so that Zhang Mou will apologize slightly."
Master Shanyue knew that this was distracting himself, so he didn't say anything, folded his hands and chanted a Buddha horn, got up and left with Zhang Yuchu.
After Master Lonely Moon left, the village chief smiled, "Boy, do you want to know the second option?" ”
Lu Xiaobu nodded curiously like a baby.
The village chief stroked a small handful of beard on his chin and said, "You should think about it, because as long as you know the second option, it means that you have given up the first option, so you have to think about it."
Lu Xiaobu was silent, this is like having two boxes in front of him, and the first box is very clear, 100 million. The second box could be a surprise, a fright, or nothing, and he had only one choice.
Generally speaking, the vast majority of people will choose that 100 million, after all, it is a huge amount of money on the table, which is at your fingertips, and there is no risk at all.
But Lu Xiaobu, he is not an ordinary person, and he is not a gambler who wants to get more, he just wants to pursue a meaning that belongs to him.
The meaning of life sounds ridiculous, but Lu Xiaobu doesn't want to be dominated by endless desires, he has his own will and choices.
"I've thought about it!" Lu Xiaobu said firmly.
The village chief smiled with relief, "I really didn't see the wrong person, but the stakes are very high, and it can't be passed on orally, you stretch out your hand."
"Is it written on my hand?" Lu Xiaobu said strangely, and honestly stretched out his right hand.
The village chief stretched out his right hand to cover Lu Xiaobu's hand, and Lu Xiaobu instantly felt that the whole world began to rotate, and in his mind, a deep sleepiness hit him......
……
"Do you have any questions?"
Lu Xiaobu opened his eyes, and there was still the small courtyard in front of him, and what he heard in his ears was the slightly hoarse voice of the village chief.
"I have too many questions, but since I have chosen, let me find the answers myself," Lu Xiaobao said.
The village chief nodded, "What I told you is far from the truth you found yourself, let it go, I firmly believe that you will do it, just as I chose you before."
Lu Xiaobu nodded and sighed, "Tragic me, it is estimated that I will have to stay in the novice village for a few days, give me two days, and I will deal with the outside affairs."
The village chief smiled, "In a day, we will wait for you in this courtyard."
Lu Xiaobu responded, got up and stretched, everything here seemed to be true and false, dreamy and illusory, making people scratch their heads. But as a half-otaku in the new century, he still has a relatively strong ability to accept these strange things, and he doesn't dwell too much.
"Old village chief, I still have a little request," Lu Xiaobu said suddenly before leaving.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it," the village chief replied, since he chose to believe, that is a person on the road, his own people, himself
