There were many unfathomable big shots in Black Swamp city.
Even though Lu Xin didnât see a single one of them during the contamination, he could tell from the meeting later on.
Lu Xin was sure that he would lose if he were to argue with them. He might even be convinced by them. Since he was a reasonable person, he decided not to meet them.
He might as well let his father do it.
After all, his father was also a person who was very good at convincing others.
The truth was as he had expected.
After his father walked away with a smile, three seconds later, the group of people standing at the end of the street started to stir. Then, the car lights turned on, and the footsteps were chaotic. All the cars and people disappeared at the same time. Some even left in tears.
Lu Xin was very satisfied with this.
He even felt a sense of satisfaction that he had never felt before.
âYou seem to be very satisfied with the results of this trip?â
His mother appeared beside an empty table, and his sister also squatted on the chair with a smile.
When Lu Xin saw them, he muttered to himself for a moment before taking his own beer, a set of grilled stinky tofu, a set of fried stinky tofu, and a set of cold stinky tofu. He then placed them on their table and pushed them slightly forward, signaling for his sister to try them.
Then, facing his motherâs smiling face, he gently nodded and said, ââAs expected, more people need to come out for a walk to clear their minds.â
The younger sister, who was a little greedy, sniffed the food Lu Xin brought over, and her expression was clearly a little dazed.
Her little head seemed to be dizzy from the smoke, and she hammered it twice with force.
The mother did not even look at the things Lu Xin had brought over. She only smiled and said, â your father is a reckless and timid man. He doesnât know how to restrain himself when he does things. Will you be at ease if you let him take care of the city for you? â
âItâs precisely because father is a coward that he wonât go too far, right?â Lu Xin chuckled.
âJust like how I know he told those people that he would only give them one chance, I actually know that he is very soft-hearted.â
so, he gave everyone at least two chances
After the younger sister had passed out, she still took a bite of the stinky tofu unwillingly. Then, her small face twisted as she ran to wash her tongue.
âSo this is what you value.â
Lu Xinâs mother looked at him tenderly and said, â what I want to remind you is that your execution of the idiot who ran out of the abyss has alarmed many things in the abyss. You let father look at this city, and it has alarmed many people in this world.
right now, both the abyss and reality have their eyes on you.
theyâll be nervous, which means they might do something irrational and cause some changes
âSo, youâre ready?â
Lu Xin could hear the worry in his motherâs voice. After a long silence, he raised his head to look at his mother.
Black particles seemed to flash in his eyes for a moment before they returned to calmness.
At this moment, he seemed to have a lot to say, but he felt lazy and didnât say it.
Therefore, he only calmly and slowly said, ââI just want to be a good person â
so, if they were the ones who felt fear first and then did those irrational things, the main point shouldnât be
âAre they ready?â
It was just a simple sentence, but her motherâs expression seemed to have undergone a huge change.
The expression on her face was still so gentle and delicate, but there seemed to be a huge tsunami in the depths of her eyes.
After a long time, she finally smiled.
He looked at Lu Xin with eyes full of admiration and clapped his hands. I was a little worried before. That report card is indeed heavy. No one would like their own child to be a puppet in the hands of others, but that person is too smart. I was worried that you would fall for his trick, but now that I see your confident look
She paused for a moment, then opened her red lips and said, â my worry has already turned into anticipation
In the distance, his younger sister had just stuffed her tongue back into her mouth and was running over on the heads of people. When she saw it from afar, she was stunned.
The way her brother and mother looked at each other and smiled made them look like two bad guys
âYouâre a really good child.â
With Lu Xinâs clear attitude, the mother seemed to have a huge load off her mind. She smiled and reached out to hold Lu Xinâs hand. I thought there were some things that I needed to teach you, but I didnât expect you to understand it on your own.
âIâm very proud of you.â
youâre right. Our family is a reasonable person. We donât take the initiative to provoke others, and we donât get into trouble.
Her mother said softly, her face turning serious. but we wonât be easily bullied.
âWeâll get back what you owe us.â
âWe will make those who betray us pay the price.â
Lu Xin looked into his motherâs eyes and nodded his head. He now fully agreed with his motherâs words.
âAlright, you guys can continue playing.â
Her mother smiled very elegantly. She stood up and said,âIâm going to make some arrangements first so that itâll be easier for me to do things in the future.â
âI believe that as long as our family is together, any problem can be solved.â
âOkay, go home early.â
Lu Xin watched as his mother left and slowly finished the beer in his glass.
This trip had indeed made him feel a very subtle psychological change.
In the past, he had just gone with the flow, but now he wanted to do something.
Thinking back to a few years ago, because of his poor mental state, he had been lazy and had wasted a lot of time
But now, he had adjusted his mental state
Perhaps he had not completely adjusted, but he could clearly feel that he was getting better.
As such, Lu Xin was confident that his mental state would improve.
Iâm sure many people are looking forward to me becoming better?
He wondered how happy they would be when he appeared in front of them with a healthy and positive look
He heaved a long sigh of relief and his mood became better.
The mission this time was really not bad, and he was very satisfied with the result.
What else was lacking?
Lu Xin thought.
With his fatherâs mental power here, Black Swamp city, which had been kidnapped by black grass, should be getting better, right?
Not only that, but the cracks in the abyss around Black Swamp city could also be alleviated.
Black Jack had said before that every S-Class forbidden zone actually had an abyssal crack.
The creatures in the forbidden zone were strengthened by the mental power coming out of the crack. They also wanted to keep their will, so they inadvertently fought against the crack and became a gatekeeper between the abyss and reality
As of now, the mysterious S-Class creatures in the black Swamp cityâs vicinity had all been killed.
In other words, this was actually an ownerless abyssal crack.
Another important reason for his fatherâs mental power to remain here was to keep an eye on the crack.
At the very least, they could monitor the situation in real time.
Could this be considered a little compensation for Black Swamp city?
Then, what else could he do?
He raised his head and looked around. He saw silver hair sitting at the edge of the table.
Ever since the incident at the administrative office, Lu Xin had explained to him that he had been influenced by miss sun to assassinate master qun. However, master qunâs underlings were still extremely dissatisfied with him. They thought that he had been bribed by miss sun and was also disloyal. They had secretly beaten him a few times, but the silver hair had become dull and never explained himself.
However, he didnât leave the group of people. Instead, he kept following them.
After some thought, Lu Xin picked up two bottles of salt water beer, walked through the crowd, and sat down beside him.
âThe beer you introduced.â
He opened a new bottle and handed it to the silver fur.
Then, she pushed a bowl of stinky tofu braised pork noodles in front of him and passed him a pair of chopsticks.
The silver haired guy took it and ate it. He swallowed the stinky tofu in big mouthfuls and drank the beer. Tears were squeezed out from the corners of his eyes.
a man whose dreams have been shattered
âWhat do you plan to do after this?â Lu Xin asked.
She thought to herself, if he still says he wants to work hard for that career, Iâll strangle him on the spot.
âI donât know â
Hearing this, the silver-haired man couldnât hold it in any longer and started to cry. my career hasnât even started and itâs all ruined
âDo you think that people who work hard really canât succeed?â
âThis â
Lu Xin was a little affected by his words. He sighed and said, â in the past, when I did my first job, I was actually just like you. I worked hard every day, worked overtime every day, and did anything. However, my leaders and colleagues didnât understand me, and they didnât give me any good looks
The silver-haired manâs curiosity was piqued and he blinked his eyes.âAnd then?â
âAnd then â
âThen, I slowly gained their respect, and I even got a promotion and a raise,â Lu Xin replied after some serious thought.
âReally?â
The silver hairâs eyes gradually glowed, but they quickly dimmed.
but Iâm scared. I canât touch that thing anymore
âWhy do you keep thinking about this?â
Lu Xin sighed helplessly.
Iâm from the underworld
âWhat else can I do?â the silver-haired man cried.
collecting protection fees, scamming on the streets, extorting, jumping around, cutting off oneâs leg and begging for money on the streets
âAll of these jobs are very promising,â Lu Xin said, trying his best to help him.
The silver-haired man wiped away his tears and looked at Lu Xin. I feel that what you said is a little embarrassing
âWhatâs there to be afraid of losing face in your career?â
thereâs no such thing as a good or bad career, â Lu Xin said helplessly. you just need to find a career that suits you.
As he said that, he pointed at the stinky tofu braised meat noodles and salt water beer on the table and said, you see, in the future, itâll be better for you to promote this than that thing. This thing is the specialty of Black Swamp city and canât be found anywhere else. It has a lot of market potential
âIs this really okay?â
The silver-haired manâs eyes widened.
I donât think so for others, â Lu Xin encouraged him gently. but I think you can. After all, you have a positive dream.
Lu Xinâs eyes were filled with sincerity and warmth.
The silver-haired man was also moved by Lu Xinâs encouragement. He clenched his fists tightly and said, ââYouâre right.â
a challenging career gives you a greater sense of accomplishment, doesnât it? â
The silver-haired manâs eyes gradually lit up.
It was the bright color of a burning dream.
He blew a bottle of salt water beer in one breath and was determined to promote stinky tofu braised meat noodles to the whole world.
