Chapter 2 The Mysterious Little Fruit
The same as when he was on earth in his previous life, in this parallel world, Lin Li is still alone. The difference is that when he was on earth, Lin Li was a 996 migrant worker every day. After working for two or three years, I still don’t have much savings.
In this parallel world, Lin Li’s deceased family members left two houses of more than 100 square meters and a deposit of one million yuan.
This inheritance allows him to spend his life comfortably in this world even if he does not go out to work for others.
It is precisely because of this comfortable escape route that after Lin Li knew that his cultivation qualifications were very poor and could not become a practitioner, he had the confidence to choose to be a carefree salty person. fish.
...
"Drip ring bell..."
Just when Lin Li was standing in front of the window, watching the man in the community with a light golden aura exercising, he placed it on the bedside table. The cell phone rang.
He turned around and walked to the bedside table, leaned over to pick up the phone, and looked at the name displayed on the caller ID.
“Why did this woman call so early in the morning?”
"Hey, what's going on?" Lin Li answered the phone and asked angrily.
"Lin Li, the sewer in my kitchen is blocked. Come over here and help me clear it." A very pleasant female voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Su Yue, how come the sewer I just helped you clear last week got blocked again so quickly? Besides, I am your landlord, not your official sewer clearing worker." Lin Li said dissatisfied.
"If there are any problems with the rented house, shouldn't they be solved by the landlord?" Su Yue muttered in a low voice after listening to Lin Li's words.
“If you have a problem with your house, of course you can come to me to solve the problem, but that doesn’t include helping you clear the kitchen drains or replace broken light bulbs.
Think about it, I have rented my house to you for how many years. Over the years, I have helped you clear the sewers, replace light bulbs, and kill cockroaches.
How many times have I done this for you with such trivial things? How can you have the nerve to ask me to do these things again? Go find a master to help you clear the sewer. Lin Li said to Su Yue on the other end of the phone.
“I’ve packed lunch, and I’ll cook your favorite boiled fish myself. "Su Yue said lightly.
"..." Lin Li was silent for a moment and said in a calm tone, "Deal... But let me make it clear first that I didn't go there just to eat the rice you cooked. Help you.
I just think that in addition to the relationship between landlord and tenant, we are still good friends who have known each other for many years. The sewer in my good friend’s house is blocked. I should go and help clear it when I am free... …”
"Yeah, I know, thank you! My lovely landlord and good friend." Su Yue said to Lin Li with a smile.
"Cute? If you don't know how to use adjectives, don't use them. How can you say that a man is cute?" Several black lines suddenly appeared on Lin Li's forehead, correcting Su Yue's wrong word choice.
"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong. Can I use handsome next time?" Thinking that the sewer in the kitchen at home was still blocked, Su Yue immediately changed her mind.
"That's pretty much it. After I finish breakfast, I will go to your house to help you clear the sewer."
"Well, you must come here early!"
"I know, let's do this for now!"
Lin Li hung up the phone, thinking that he could have another delicious meal at noon, and his mood suddenly became very happy.
No way, I didn’t have the talent for cooking in my previous life, and after being reborn in this parallel world, I still don’t have the talent for cooking.
Even if you live alone and cook often, you still haven't improved your cooking skills. This is too unscientific.
On the other hand, my female tenant and good friend have never seen her cook. Why is her cooking so good? How unfair God is!
...Breakfast is very simple, two hard-boiled eggs, a piece of bread and a glass of milk.
After breakfast, Lin Li wanted to enter the island again, but he found that he could not enter because his spiritual energy had been exhausted.
After estimating the speed at which I can recover my spiritual energy, I will probably have to wait until ten o'clock in the evening before I can fully recover my spiritual energy. It seems that the next time I enter the island, I can only wait until tonight.
…………
On the mysterious island, after Lin Li was forced to leave the island because the spiritual energy in his body was exhausted, the two-meter-high tree in the center of the island suddenly bloomed with a pale golden light.
The white mist on the surrounding water began to surge when the small trees bloomed with pale golden light.
The white mist rolled violently, and then turned into traces of spiritual energy.
The light golden light blooming on the small tree in the center of the island became more and more dazzling. The spiritual energy transformed from the white mist quickly rushed towards the small tree blooming with dazzling light.
A few minutes later, the light golden light on the small tree disappeared, and the white mist that was constantly churning around it returned to calm.
Everything seems to have changed back to how it was before, but when you look carefully, you will find that the small tree in the center of the island has an extra red fruit.
This fruit is as red as a flame, and from time to time a pale golden light flashes across the fruit.
…………
The sun is shining and cloudless. It’s such a good weather today!
After having breakfast, Lin Li set off for Su Yue's home. The house he rented to Su Yue was not far from the community where he lived, about a ten-minute walk away.
Lin Li walked slowly forward on the road, looking at the hurried passers-by around him.
These passers-by are all migrant workers rushing to work in the company. Lin Li couldn't help but think as he watched these people walking in a hurry.
"If I didn't have that one million in savings and two houses, I would be as busy as they are for life."
Blue Star's technology and the one before Lin Li's rebirth The world is not much different, and the development of cities is almost exactly the same.
Had it not been for the two quarreling people not far ahead, both of whom were glowing with light golden light, Lin Li might have thought that he was still in the world before his rebirth.
"Do you know how to drive? How can an electric car drive on the sidewalk?"
"Every time I pass this section of road, I always drive on the sidewalk. What's wrong with you?"
"What are you talking about? You almost bumped into me, you have to apologize."< br>
“Apologise? You’re overthinking it! If you hadn’t jumped out suddenly, how could I have almost bumped into you.
On the contrary, it was you who wanted to apologize to me. Just to avoid it, You and I both fell down, and you can see that my hands were all bruised.”
The two young men were arguing louder and louder. When people passing by around them saw this, they subconsciously stopped and turned into melon eaters, watching the two men arguing loudly.
