Chapter 36
It was so delicious that Chen Jing regretted sending a portion to Yan Que.
"First, she promised me on behalf of the council that she would give us as much convenience as possible without violating the order standard, but it doesn't matter. If the council gives me face, I will give them face. If they don't give me face..." Chen Bofu sneered.
"What about the second?" Chen Jing asked.
"Second..."
Chen Bofu's voice suddenly paused, and a light of hope suddenly lit up in his turbid eyes.
"The council must do its best to help me find a way to turn you into an old descendant."
"That's it?" Chen Jing was stunned.
"What else?!"
Seeing Chen Jing behave so calmly, Chen Bofu was immediately dissatisfied and glared at him angrily.
Then the old man lowered his head again, looking at his hands covered with age spots. His skinny and shriveled knuckles were almost skin wrapped around bones, just like the branches of the dead trees on the street outside the community.
"If you die before Grandpa, Grandpa really doesn't know what to do in the future..."
Chapter 32 Ideals are shameful but very useful
Perhaps because he played too many games, Chen Jing has always been obsessed with the word "old descendant".
Because to him, this is like a profession in the game, and only by becoming an old descendant can he be on the right track.
What's more, from the simple understanding of the past few days, this world is still the law of the jungle from a certain perspective...Although Grandpa is protecting him now, what about the future?
If one day.
Even Grandpa can't protect himself.
What should I do then?
"No hurry."
Chen Jing gently soothed the old man's emotions, and then brought up the light screen of the exam and took a closer look at the progress of the task.
"Since Grandpa, you are an old descendant, then I will be one sooner or later, it's just a matter of time..."
Yes.
Sooner or later.
There's nothing to rush.
The last time I completed the task of the additional questions, the reward was an ancient relic.
So if the additional questions this time are completed...
Maybe the reward is to make me an old descendant?
Chen Jing's thoughts can be described as simple.
But it must be said that this possibility is very high. After all, who can say for sure what those "people" will reward when they are happy?
"Hey, I almost forgot about this..."
Suddenly, Chen Bofu stood up eagerly, ran into the bedroom without much explanation, and soon came out with a snakeskin bag on his shoulder.
This snakeskin bag looked familiar to Chen Jing.
I remember that it was the day when the human gluttons invaded the community. The old man jumped off the building with this snakeskin bag at noon. When he came back, the snakeskin bag was still on his shoulder...
"Grandpa, I forgot to ask you, where did you go with a bag of real estate certificates that day?"
"To handle the transfer procedures."
Chen Bofu happily opened his pocket and showed a pile of brand new real estate certificates as high as a small hill.
"Those bastards ran away without paying the property management fee, so their house must belong to me. This is called order!"
"This is not called order!" Chen Jing hurriedly stopped him and explained earnestly, "Grandpa, don't blame me for being nosy. I think you are a little too much..."
"What's too much?" Chen Bofu looked up at him, but he was not angry because of this. He still had a smile on his face, "You don't think grandpa is bullying those people?"
Chen Jing smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to speak.
"They are all scum, especially those who ran away. One by one... Who has a clean ass? Didn't they come here to seek refuge because they were wanted by the parliament?"
Hearing this, Chen Jing was stunned.
"With me here, the people in the parliament dare not enter the community. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand... Peace Hotel?"
"What hotel?"
Chen Bofu felt that this grandson's brain circuit was a bit incredible. He talked about business and inexplicably ran to the topic of the hotel.
"Anyway, what I mean is..."
"They all have bad backgrounds. If it weren't for you being here, they would have been arrested by the parliament's security guards long ago, right?"
"That's right!"
Chen Bofu slapped his thigh, thinking that his grandson was really smart.
Books are really not read in vain, they understand everything at once!
"Your grandpa never bullies good people." Chen Bofu said proudly, patting his chest.
Chen Jing didn't say anything, looking at him suspiciously.
"Occasionally bully." Chen Bofu added.
"So this pile of property certificates... no, those empty houses in this building, are all ours?" Chen Jing glanced helplessly at the property certificates in the snakeskin bag.
"Yes, they are all surnamed Chen!" Chen Bofu was quite proud of this, and smiled at Chen Jing with a wink, "Although our family will never be short of money with grandpa here, but I know your temper, you always like to find something to do for yourself..."
"Don't like it, I just like to be idle!" Chen Jing hurriedly explained.
In the final analysis, he is just an "outsider". Without fully understanding the inner world, he will naturally stay as safe as possible.
"The meaning of life is to struggle, especially for those who live in the eternal night. Burn yourself to illuminate others and spare no effort to contribute to the construction of this city. This is the meaning of life... Do you still remember these words?"
"Who said this?" Chen Jing frowned. He always felt that there was the smell of pie in the air, and he only wondered if some expert in the real world had also traveled here.
"That's what you said." Chen Bofu spread his hands.
"How could this be possible...but then again!"
Chen Jing shook his head hurriedly and couldn't help but express his inner thoughts.
"Those are all my young and frivolous thoughts, the rebellious period of youth...Grandpa, you should understand, right?"
"Isn't that what you said last month..." Now it was Chen Boxu's turn to show a suspicious expression.
"The rebellious stage..." Chen Jing said with a guilty conscience.
"Are you going to be rebellious until you are in your twenties?" Chen Boxu became more and more suspicious.
"People can change..."
Chen Jing felt guilty and said what his university tutor often said, and then he worded it a little bit, describing his ultimate ideal to the old man as simply as possible.
"Last month I was immature and too immature, but now I am mature, so I understand what my ideal is..."
"What is it?" The old man showed a curious expression.
“I like getting something for nothing now.”
Chen Jing answered truthfully, and did not deliberately hide his true thoughts. Speaking it out directly would save him trouble in the future.
"And I think the ultimate goal of all living things is to get something for nothing. Although it's a bit shameful to say this, I'm sure everyone thinks so."
"..."
Chen Bofu tried very hard to hold back his laughter and patted Chen Jing's shoulder heavily, his words full of emotion.
"My dear grandson, you finally got the idea!"
Seeing Chen Bofu's reaction, Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile that he would naturally become more mature.
"I told you back then, why don't you go out to work if you have nothing to do!"
Chen Bofu's face seemed to be a little saddened by the memory, and he just felt that his good grandson had taken a detour.
"Our family has never been short of money. Even if our family is short of money, grandpa, won't it be enough if I go out and grab a round!"
"Grandpa is right!"
"Besides, even if you are bored at home, you can still find something interesting to do. Why bother if you force yourself to take the test to become a teacher and lose your hair every day..."
After saying that, Chen Bofu pretended to wipe his eyes, wiping away those old tears that didn't exist.
"You kid didn't like spending my money at first, saying it was just cheating on me, but you spent my grandpa's money, and grandpa felt happy. Grandpa felt that he was useful and could help you..."
"Then I will spend every day from now on, what a wonderful flower!"
Chen Jing easily said this sentence that could easily make outsiders laugh, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it because he thought of the old lady who was still worried about him until her death...
"Grandpa, speaking of which, I'm really going to ask you for some pocket money!"
"Okay, grandpa will get you the card now! My dear grandson, you can buy whatever you want! It doesn't matter if you run out of money!"
"I don't want to buy anything, I just want to give some gifts to my friends..."
Chen Jing moved his gaze to the light screen and looked at the progress of the task bar. He felt that it would be a sure thing to use the "prompt" to fill up this wave of favorability.
——
[Additional question: Top ten neighbors]
[Tip: A single tree cannot support itself. In this dangerous world, please try to build friendly relationships with your neighbors. ]
[Question status: unfinished]
[Completion: 70%]
——
"Grandpa, do you know the decorator?"
"?"
Chapter 33: Give them the free money? Do evil!
Chen Jing attaches great importance to the "prompts" that appear on the light screen, especially the information connected to garbled symbols.
Although Chen Jing has not yet figured out the source of those "hints", he is certain of one thing...
Those tips should be true and not misleading.
To this day, Chen Jing still remembers the content of the last prompt.
That reminder came before he went to visit those neighbors, reminding him what kind of gifts to bring to help him get closer to those neighbors.
It turns out that tips work great.
So Chen Jing wants to follow this prompt and continue to increase the friendliness of his neighbors.
[Decorating the house%%￥ pigeon shed＊\u0026TV...]
…
"Spreading your free money to them? It's evil!"
"..."
When he learned that Chen Jing wanted to help Wei Nan renovate the house, Chen Boxu was so angry that he stamped his feet. When he later heard that he wanted to help Yan Que build a pigeon coop on the roof, he was furious and felt My grandson is a prodigal!
But no matter how angry he was, Chen Boxu finally listened to his good grandson Chen Jing's advice.
Who allowed him to have only this grandson?
What can I do if I don’t pamper him?
Although spending money on others really made Mr. Chen angry, but then he thought about it... It was a rare time for his good grandson to ask him for money. If he didn't satisfy him well, what would he do if he wouldn't ask for money from him again in the future?
