"Master Fuli, you're amazing!"Chen Nian looked at Master Fuli with envy, glanced at his own empty sleeves, and couldn't help but sigh.
A trademark of the Spendthrift Eye, the minimum spending is thirty thousand, the maximum over a hundred thousand.
There's also that unfamiliar Crafty Computer screen, which, being packed in the same box, can't be cheap either.
The most important thing is... it's a gift from a girl!
Chen Nian instinctively looked at his phone; the chat list was full of buddies wanting to go shopping or messages from punk girls saying: "Old Deng, toss some gold coins, sister is planning to treat the gang to Snow King, come over to my place for drinks tonight if you're free."
"What nonsense, you won't even call me big brother." Chen Nian rolled his eyes and turned off his newly lit phone screen.
"You can't possibly..." The lawyer glanced at Master Fuli and then at Chen Nian, confidently saying:
"You may look decent, but you're just that—a look, some things, you can't just envy into being."
As a fellow male, the lawyer could easily tell that Chen Nian's envy was genuine.
He also understood what the boss envied, but he felt obliged to kindly remind him that Master Fuli indulged in modeling.
If forced, he estimated that a scam call with a Bharat accent would come through in three minutes.
"You sure talk a lot!" Chen Nian shot a side glance at the lawyer, grunted, and helped carry the items from the wooden box into the house.
Chen Nian wasn't bad looking, with a somewhat scholarly appearance, though he hadn't tidied himself much since returning from Ahmei.
His medium-short hair was a mess, resembling a bird's nest, making style tricky without a disguise.
Yet, Chen Nian didn't care much; at home, comfort was key.
"This thing... is it the self-use tool Momo mentioned, accidentally left in the delivery box?"
While moving things, Ah Qing squatted down to start unwrapping other packages, which contained specialty snacks from the Lingnan Region and various pastries previously critiqued by the little fox.
Among the box of candies and pastries, Ah Qing found the self-use tool Momo had talked about.
However,
Upon seeing the Enchanting Demon Self-Use Tool, Ah Qing wore an odd expression.
Momo's description wasn't exaggerated; the top of the spade-shaped self-use tool wasn't the usual rake shape but had an ovular Enchanting Demon Pattern.
Clearly, the item was named "Back Scratcher Self-Use Tool" but had no actual function.
"Tsk tsk tsk... items with damage and spell damage!" Ansheng clicked his tongue in amazement.
"If you hit someone with this, you'd probably end up in the police station,"
Ah Qing, with a peculiar expression, put the ridiculous self-use tool back into the box and asked the little fox.
Ah Qing couldn't remember the related article of law, but she vaguely recalled an insult law or something.
Thinking about Momo buying this to go against some scheming backstabber, Ah Qing worried Momo would end up in a detention center, wielding the self-use tool and leaving their opponent bruised with demon patterns...
After all... it was just too something, like Xiaolan said, mixed damage.
"Such an eerie weapon; if left in our house, Dad might think I've been cursed and need charm water..."
Ah Qing maintained a polite smile but quickly wrapped the self-use tool back in the box, securing it tightly with tape.
Feeling this sinister artifact needed to be immediately removed from the premises upon first sight.
"Xiaolan, can you entertain Abdi for a bit? I'm heading to the courier station to send something..."
Ah Qing carried the box out, reminding the little fox before she left.
"Oh..." Ansheng shrugged, took out two cold Cokes from the fridge for Chen Nian, and invited them to help set up the new computer.
During this time, Chen Nian watched Master Fuli with a sour expression, lounging in the pile of snacks.
...
"No, no, I already have plans with friends for lunch at the reservoir, so I won't be a bother here."
Chen Nian waved his hand to say goodbye to Ah Qing, taking the lawyer with a face full of unspoken words along with him.
"Brother Frey, just now... were you planning to stay for a meal?"
Watching Chen Nian leave, Ah Qing asked the little fox with a puzzled expression.
Ah Qing was planning to thank Chen Nian with a meal for helping to sign for the packages and set up the computer.
Although Chen Nian declined, the lawyer seemed to look around curiously, as if checking for any dishes.
"Maybe... he's a gluttonous Old Deng?" Ansheng laughed and quipped.
The lawyer's odd expression gave Ansheng a clue.
Perhaps it was due to the spiritualization thing, though Chen Nian did not directly ask for a Spirit Particle Potion, initiating it himself would be overstepping.
"It's a shame, my cooking, even a dog would bring its own pot to fry up a meal."
Ah Qing shook her head in regret, turned back inside to grab her small backpack, loaded the seedlings transplanted onto the tabletop into it, and prepared to head to Tea Mountain.
"Xiaolan, has your game downloaded yet? Youyou wants to duo queue with trash talk in the evening..."
Before heading out, Ah Qing asked Xiaolan.
"It's downloading, I'll just leave it running..." Ansheng patted his hands and feet, jumped onto Ah Qing's shoulder, and assumed a riding position, ready to go out.
"Hmm... it's been a while since I've been here!"
Ah Qing rode the electric two-wheeler, placing the little fox in front of her, hands on the dashboard, taking a deep breath upon reaching the Upper Slope Mountain Tea Mountain in Changxi Town.
"No idea if the little greens have hibernated yet, we need to remind them to move out by March."
Ah Qing walked along the mountain path, looking around as if searching for something.
When encountering small animals on the way, she'd greet them, reminding them to move out of Upper Slope Mountain or to the lower slopes sixty day-night cycles later.
A month before the tea picking season, all tea trees are sprayed with pesticides to repel pests.
After that month, the formal tea picking starts, manually selecting the top-quality tea leaves first, followed by large machines for harvesting standard tea leaves.
When the tea picking machines start roaring, any animal could end up in the sacks.
"Remember to inform the others, after the tea picking I'll treat everyone to a big meal."
Ah Qing scratched the red-bellied squirrel in her hand, smiling as she said this.
"Squeak..." The red-bellied squirrel yawned, with an autumn fat build, nodded to Ah Qing, seemingly not feeling the least bit shy, and curiously poked its head out.
"Bye-bye~"
Ah Qing placed the red-bellied squirrel back on the tree, humming a tune as she continued into the mountains.
In her tea field, Ah Qing completed the pits for transplanting plants, doing sanitation and sterilization, then transplanted her winter holiday project into the soil.
Winter in Xia Dong is not cold, although temperatures drop at night, but not to the extent of requiring cold-weather measures for the plants; according to normal procedure, she simply transplanted them, watered them a bit.
"Xiaolan, come on!"
After finishing her task, Ah Qing fetched the Treasure Mushroom and Spirit Particle Potion from her small backpack.
