Chapter 1166: The influence further expands (two chapters in one)
"Okay! What's for dinner?" Su Yue asked with a smile.
"What do you want to eat?" Lin Li replied.
"Since you are treating us, of course it is you who decides what to eat for dinner."
"How about we go have a small hot pot! I haven't had it for a long time, let's go to the one we used to go to..."
"Okay, that's it for now. Meet us at that store later."
"Yeah."
After finishing the chat, Su Yue started the white Little Sheep electric car and left the quiet campus.
It's still a while before the sun sets, and the street lights on the road haven't turned on yet.
Before Su Yue went to meet Lin Li, she wanted to go to a gem identification shop to identify the two red crystals in her bag to determine whether they were rubies.
"Huh..."
From time to time, gusts of icy cold wind blew on the street, causing the big trees on both sides of the street to sway violently.
Many yellow leaves fell from the branches, floating around irregularly and falling in various places on the ground.
Su Yue felt the cold wind blowing in her face, glanced at the scarf in front of her, and remembered another black scarf that she wanted to give to Lin Li.
"After dinner, let Lin Li go home with me. I will give him the black scarf."
The gem appraisal shop was not far from the school. Su Yue drove the white Little Sheep electric car on the road and arrived at the destination in a short time.
When she stopped the electric car, she happened to see a few people walking out of the bustling gem appraisal shop with a smile.
When she usually passed by, Su Yue never saw any customers in the store. She thought the business was bleak, but now she saw that there were many customers in the store.
She parked the electric scooter, then took off her helmet, carrying her bag and walking to a store not far away.
"Welcome." The front desk staff in the store is a tall woman. When she sees a customer walking into the store, she greets her immediately.
"Hello." Su Yue smiled slightly, surprising the front desk.
Although they are both women, the receptionist feels that she is far inferior to the beautiful guest in front of her in terms of appearance and figure.
"Beauty, do you want a gem appraisal?" the front desk staff asked.
"Yes." Su Yue nodded, then opened the bag and took out a transparent ziplock bag. Two crystal clear red crystals the size of fingernails appeared in front of her eyes.
The front desk staff described the cost of the appraisal. After hearing this, Su Yue had no other questions and took out her mobile phone to scan the QR code to pay.
After she paid the money, she handed the two red crystal stones to the other party, then sat down at a resting place not far away, quietly waiting for the appraisal results.
Time passed, and customers came and went in the store. Su Yue waited for about five minutes, and the front desk staff who left returned and came to her.
"Beauty, I'm so sorry."
Su Yue looked at the apologetic front desk staff and was very confused. She didn't understand why the other person wanted to apologize, so she asked.
"What's wrong?"
"There is a problem with the gem identification machine in the store, and we are temporarily unable to conduct gem identification business."
"What a coincidence."
"Yes! That...machine won't be repaired until tomorrow. How about you come over tomorrow?"
"Okay, you can write me a receipt."
"Wait a moment, I'll write you a receipt right now."
"Should I wait to come over at noon tomorrow or come over tomorrow afternoon?" Su Yue asked the front desk staff who was about to write a receipt.
"The identification will be done at noon tomorrow. You can come here at noon or in the afternoon." The front desk staff said with a smile.
Su Yue nodded, and then she waited for a few more minutes before the other party returned with a receipt.
"Beauty, walk slowly."
"Yeah."
Su Yue left the gem appraisal shop and walked to where she parked her electric car.
When she left on her electric scooter and headed to the place to eat, in the gem appraisal shop, a middle-aged man was looking at the faulty machine in front of him with confusion.
"It's really strange. It was working fine just now, so why did the machine suddenly have problems?"
"Store manager, I just called Master Liu who repairs the machine. He said he has something on hand right now and will have to come later."
The middle-aged man heard this and said to his colleague, "As long as he can come over tonight and fix the machine..."
After saying that, the store manager picked up the two crystal clear red crystals on the table and put them into a metal box.
This is the customer's property. If it is lost, not only will you have to lose money, but it will also damage the reputation of the store, so you must keep it safe.
He closed the metal box containing the red crystal and put it in the drawer. Immediately afterwards, a phone call came in. The store manager answered the phone and quickly left the room.
When there was no one in the room, in the metal box in the drawer, two crystal clear red crystals glowed with light golden light, and invisible spiritual energy fluctuations spread around.
There was a sewer manhole cover not far from the gem appraisal shop. At this moment, a mouse in the sewer suddenly opened its eyes and became very excited.
…………
In an old community, in a house with three bedrooms and one living room of more than 100 square meters, a man in his fifties was sitting on the sofa, lighting a cigarette in his hand and frowning.
"Click."
There was a sound from the study not far away. Zhang Zhao opened the door and walked out of the bedroom. After walking into the living room, he said to the man who was smoking.
"Isn't there any reply from above?"
Mu Qi took the cigarette out of his mouth and exhaled. A stream of smoke immediately spurted out and slowly dissipated in the air.
"No reply yet."
"It's been so long, is it so difficult to reply to a message?" Zhang Zhao complained.
"If you hadn't said that there was a very strong practitioner in that school, the decision wouldn't have been so difficult for the superiors," Mu Qi said.
"Uh..." Zhang Zhao was speechless after hearing this, "That's true."
"The practitioners in that school are really as scary as you said?" Mu Qi was quite doubtful.
"There's no benefit if I lie to you, not to mention that this information has been reported to the organization.
If I cheat the organization as well, you don’t know what the consequences will be. "Zhang Zhao said seriously.
"That's a very ordinary elementary school." Mucci said, but his doubts were not dispelled.
"Who knows what that powerful practitioner was thinking. Maybe I was unlucky today. When he happened to be in that school, I was very unlucky to meet him." Zhang Zhao analyzed.
The two people were chatting when a clear cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.
The call came, and Mucci, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately took out his cell phone from his pocket.
"Hello?"
"Okay...I understand...Don't worry, we will be careful."
After the phone call was finished, Zhang Zhao quickly asked about the content on the phone.
"What did the superiors say?"
Mu Qi put the phone aside and carefully recounted the content of the phone call just now.
After hearing this, Zhang Zhao's face suddenly became extremely solemn, "Let's try to go to that school and find out what the mutated creatures desire. This is too dangerous!"
Mu Qi saw Zhang Zhao's anxious expression and said angrily. "Aren't you usually very courageous? Why are you so timid now?"
Zhang Zhao said angrily to his companion, "You have never felt the pressure brought by that terrible practitioner. If you had experienced it head-on, you wouldn't be as calm as you are now."
"The more you say that, the more curious I become and want to see it with my own eyes." Mu Qi said with a smile.
"You have to see it with your own eyes. Go and see it yourself. Don't take me with you." Zhang Zhao waved his hands quickly. The previous experience left a deep impression on him and he really didn't want to encounter it again.
"Now that the organization has issued an order, we must definitely go to that school again." Mu Qi said seriously.
"I'm afraid I'll never come back!"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Even if you are here, I don't think it's very useful..."
"As you said, you don't know my ability to escape. As long as you give me a second, I can take you away."
"This..."
"Stop this and that, just keep your heart in your stomach! Nothing will happen."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Okay! When the time comes when it's really critical, don't leave me behind."
"We've known each other for so long, and you still don't know who I am? If I were to encounter the situation you mentioned, I would never leave you and run away alone."
Zhang Zhao nodded after hearing his companion's repeated assurances, and then the two of them began to discuss when to go to Rongxi Primary School tonight.
…………
The bathroom door opened, and Lin Li, who had just washed his hair, walked out of the bathroom.
Because he washed his hair with hot water, Lin Li's hair was still steaming.
"It's almost time."
Lin Li turned his head and looked towards the balcony. There was only a trace of the sunset outside the window.
Not long ago, he and Su Yue made an appointment to have dinner together. By the time he washed his hair, the sky outside became much darker.
Lin Li turned off the TV in the living room and came out of the house.
He came to the elevator and pressed the button on the elevator.
After waiting for half a minute, the elevator from the first floor stopped.
After the door opened, a familiar figure walked out of the elevator.
"Aunt Wang."
Lin Li saw the other party and said hello.
"Xiao Lin! Are you going out?" Aunt Wang from the residents' committee asked.
"Yes, I made an appointment with my friend to have dinner together, and now I have to meet her," Lin Li said.
"Take this." Aunt Wang took out a leaflet from her bag.
"This is it?" Lin Li took the flyer and glanced at the contents.
Aunt Wang explained at this time, "There are rats in our area recently. It is best not to leave garbage at home at night."
Lin Li nodded. The flyer was all about preventing rats.
It's autumn now and the weather is getting colder. Logically speaking, mice shouldn't be so active, but that's not the case now.
Through Aunt Wang’s story, I learned that a community next door had to hire a professional rat removal team to solve the problem because the number of rats had increased.
At present, the community where Lin Li lives does not have frequent rats, but problems have occurred in other communities one after another.
For prevention purposes, the residents' committee printed these leaflets on rat prevention and distributed them.
Lin Li understood what happened, told Aunt Wang that he had made a note not to leave garbage at home at night, and then walked into the elevator and went downstairs.
…………
"Ding dong."
The elevator door opens.
Lin Li stepped out of the elevator and walked quickly out of the corridor.
When he walked out of the corridor, he saw the little white cat and the little black cat in the green belt in the distance.
Thinking back to what he learned when he met Aunt Wang just now, Lin Li couldn't help but think in his heart.
"With these two little guys in the community, there should be no rat infestation."
On the grass in the green belt in the distance, the little white cat and the little black cat were playing.
Suddenly, the little white cat noticed that someone was staring at him, so he stopped playing around, turned his head and looked into the distance, and immediately saw Lin Li.
When the little black cat saw his friend stop playing, he immediately stopped. Then he followed his friend's gaze and looked into the distance, and also saw Lin Li walking over.
The two little guys saw Lin Li coming this way, so they took the initiative to approach.
They came to the edge of the green belt, raised their heads and looked at Lin Li, and made waxy cat sounds in their mouths.
"Meow..."
"Is Zhou Tongtong back?" Lin Li asked the two little guys.
This simple question is easy to answer. The little white cat and the little black cat shook their heads at the same time.
When Lin Li saw them shaking their heads, he knew that Zhou Tongtong had not returned to the community yet.
The next second, the little white cat stopped shaking his head and began to nod to Lin Li.
"Huh?"
Lin Li was very confused when he saw this, and then he saw the little white cat looking to his side.
An electric car appeared in the direction of the gate of the community, and two familiar figures came into view.
"What a coincidence. I just mentioned her and now she's back." Lin Li looked at the mother and daughter getting closer and said to himself with a smile.
"Brother Lin Li." Zhou Tongtong began to wave to Lin Li from a long distance away, with a joyful smile on his face and a happy laugh from his mouth.
Xia Qing stopped the electric car. After Zhou Tongtong got off the car, she ran towards Lin Li without even having time to take off her helmet.
"Run slower, don't fall." Lin Li reminded Zhou Tongtong quickly as he looked at Zhou Tongtong running towards him.
This little guy sometimes ran very fast, and I was really afraid that she would fall down accidentally and knock her head to pieces.
When Zhou Tongtong heard Lin Li's reminder, her feet slowly slowed down, and then she stood in front of Lin Li.
"Brother Lin Li, have you not been at home these days?"
Zhou Tongtong hadn't seen Lin Li for a few days, so when she saw him now, she immediately asked him if he hadn't been at home these days.
"Yes, I have something to go out these days and am not at home." Lin Li smiled and nodded.
"No wonder!" Zhou Tongtong said with a smile, "I went to your house to ring the doorbell before, but no one came to open the door."
Xia Qing came to Lin Li at this time and said to Lin Li with a smile, "There is a store with delicious biscuits. I brought you one when I went to buy it.
Because you are not at home, I cannot give it to you. I will give it to you later. ”
"Thank you." Lin Li thanked him, and then said sheepishly, "What a coincidence, I have to go out to eat with friends now."
"It doesn't matter. Send me a message when you come back..." Xia Qing smiled.
