Chapter 722: Chapter 713: Foolish Monarch Experience Card—Upgraded Edition
For some reason, Shen Yi discovered a weakness that most men have, which is a fondness for attack speed equipment. In one night, with a Rapid Firecannon and a Statikk Shiv, Su Qing couldn’t resist and was instantly captivated.
Of course, Auntie Shen, as a direct tester, was also left in a sorry state, and clearly, he underestimated the combat enhancement of these two pieces of gear. It’s not just attack speed; they mainly boost critical strikes as well.
The next day, it was a weekend, and because of what happened last night, Shen Yi decided to stay in bed today. Even though she was a genius with immense potential, her foundation was only at the third stage of Fighting Power, and even the most talented geniuses need time to grow.
As the saying goes, "Thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west bank of the river, never underestimate a young man’s poverty." While this saying is true, looking at it from another angle, isn’t it fair for me to bully you for thirty years first?
At eight in the morning, Su Qing tidied up the battlefield, threw a pair of torn beyond recognition stockings into the trash can, planning to throw them away when he goes out.
As for the state of the police station, he didn’t proactively inquire, because he knew that if something were up, Old Lin would definitely have Li Zijun inform him.
At nine-thirty in the morning, there was a knock on the room door.
"Sister Wen, what brings you here?" Su Qing asked in surprise.
Today, the landlady was in an extraordinarily good mood, wearing a grey tracksuit and a cap on her head, looking much younger. If you didn’t know her, you wouldn’t believe she already had a child in elementary school.
"I’m off today, and my mom’s going home tomorrow. I was thinking of taking your wife out shopping. Where is she?" the landlady said as she entered the house without hesitation.
"She... She’s not up yet. I’ll go wake her up!"
"No need, I’m not in a hurry. Let her sleep a bit more. After all, spring has come, and it’s that time for animals again... Ahem, anyway, you two should take care of yourselves, especially young Su, what’s the rush at your age?" After saying that, the landlady took a step forward and whispered, "How was it? The feel of those black stockings last night? Genuine Balenciaga, two thousand bucks a pair, hee hee!"
Hearing this, Su Qing was immensely embarrassed. Indeed, the wild words of this fast-talking widow left him at a loss.
"Alright, I’ll just wake up Xiao Yi, and you can have a chat with her!"
Watching Su Qing flee like that, the landlady laughed so hard on the sofa she was falling back and forth.
Ever since Su Qing got together with Shen Yi, Wen Nanqing had intentionally or unintentionally created some distance between them. After all, even the best of friends need to maintain decorum, right?
She would occasionally tease them verbally, but she quite enjoyed this dynamic, finding joy in watching Shen Yi and Su Qing’s reactions. She had to admit, it was a bit twisted.
Before long, Su Qing got Shen Yi up. She slipped on a loose nightgown and came downstairs yawning.
"Sister Qing, what brings you here?"
At the moment, Shen Yi was dressed very casually, but Wen Nanqing, being a woman herself, wasn’t worried about anything indecent.
"Wow, people say couples start to look alike, and look at you two, how long have you been together? Even the way you talk is the same now. Tsk tsk tsk, with such smooth and milky skin, young Su got a good bargain!" The landlady couldn’t help but marvel at Shen Yi’s exposed skin.
Hearing this, Shen Yi blushed but didn’t refute it. After all, she borrowed those stockings from the landlady yesterday, so there was no need to deny it now.
"I’m not against marriage; eventually, I’ll end up settling. Since that’s the case, it’s already good to be with someone I like, isn’t it?" As she said this, Shen Yi stretched lazily on the sofa, her curvaceous figure on full display.
Wen Nanqing nodded in agreement but glanced at Shen Yi. Despite having a man for some time now, she still hadn’t grown any more than her own assets. Well, I’m still winning.
"Alright, you make a good point. By the way, are you free today? If you are, accompany me shopping; it’s been ages since I went out!"
"Huh? Sister Qing, you’re so happy today. Is there something special?" Shen Yi asked curiously.
Judging by today’s atmosphere, it was obvious Wen Nanqing was in high spirits.
"Something special? I suppose. Last night, Han Bin, the boss of Fengyang Restaurant, went to my hometown to apologize to my dad."
Hearing this, Shen Yi perked up, "Looks like Uncle taught him a lesson!"
"More or less. Although it’s not done yet, my dad said it’s just a matter of days before there’s no Fengyang Restaurant in Jiang City. I’m planning to invest in a few more properties—small ones for rental or resale, but for the bigger one, I’m thinking of doing something with it. Would you give me some advice today? I’m thinking of opening a beauty salon, but you know I’m not really talented in business!" The landlady, holding Shen Yi’s hand, said playfully.
Coming from this kind of family, it’s not like she never tried entrepreneurship, and she’s tried several times, but she failed each time, so she already knows she doesn’t have a knack for it.
Hearing this, Shen Yi thought for a while and replied, "It’s not impossible, but it needs to be planned carefully. As long as you can get it going, short-term business should be there. If necessary..."
Saying this, Shen Yi glanced in the direction of the doghouse.
"You could take Big Yellow and have it as the store’s mascot. It could be a way to draw in customers!"
Big Yellow’s value nowadays is quite significant; it’s a well-known internet celebrity dog, and promoting a beauty salon is well within its capabilities.
Given that the little girl was now in school, and Shen Yi was often at work, being home alone was frankly boring, so she wanted to find something to do. Making money wasn’t the focus; as long as she didn’t lose money, she was doing it to keep busy.
Wen Nanqing admittedly also greatly admired Shen Yi’s career-driven, independent woman persona.
Hearing this could work, the landlady immediately got excited.
"Really? That’s great! You absolutely have to help me. Hurry up and freshen up so we can head out shopping. It’s on me, and we can plan it out thoroughly!"
As for the apology from Han Bin’s family, Wen Nanqing didn’t elaborate much, but Su Qing was aware of the developments. Soon enough, the two women left in a whirlwind.
After they left, Su Qing found himself feeling quite bored. Not being able to go to the police station for the time being, he decided to take Big Yellow back home, planning to discuss Shen Yi visiting the family next month.
He took Big Yellow home and knocked on the door.
Peeking inside, Su Qing didn’t find any embarrassing scenes, letting him breathe a sigh of relief.
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Hui glared at him, spitting in his direction.
"Just checking if Dad’s Foolish Monarch Experience Card has run out yet!" Su Qing said nonchalantly.
Zhou Hui: ...
"Ahem, your dad already realized his mistake. So uh, son, can we just not bring this up again?"
Oh wow, turns out catching someone with their vice is really satisfying. When has his mom ever spoken in such a humble tone? Had he known earlier, he wouldn’t have put up with so much for so many years.
"Oh right, Mom, where’s Dad?"
Upon hearing this, his mom’s eyes darted around, her movements unnatural, and she spoke with a guilty tone:
"What? Your... your dad, he... he went out, he’ll be back soon!"
As soon as she finished, a narrator voice rang out in Su Qing’s head, informing him:
[Rebellious Mom is lying. The ever-strong Dad actually went to retrieve a package with a Dragon Robe and Concubine Outfit, experiencing it firsthand, a luxurious indulgence worth trying!]
Su Qing: (⊙_⊙)
What is this? An upgraded version of the Foolish Monarch Experience Card? Last time it was similar, now it’s an upgraded outfit, going for both form and function, huh?
