Chapter 56 One dares to speak and the other dares to listen
This morning, Li Chengqi used a broom to sweep the dust and garbage bags in front of the convenience store to the wall.
It's lucky that the power outage only lasted less than thirty minutes. Otherwise, regardless of whether it was hot or not, all the popsicles in the freezer would have been turned into drinks...
It stands to reason that power outages are rare nowadays. In Li Chengqi's In my memory, there were power outages when I was a child, but this has never happened in the past ten years.
As expected, no one was on duty at the property management office. He responded to his WeChat message in the morning, saying that the technician sent to check the electrical box said everything was normal.
The power outage was so inexplicable that even the electrician couldn't figure out the problem.
The electrician was very worried about this and might have doubted his professional level, but Li Chengqi didn't care much.
He had just swept the garbage to the wall when he saw a small truck parked in front of the convenience store.
Li Chengqi was overjoyed when he saw this and hurried over:
"Brother Zhang, your family is finally back."
"What's wrong? Didn't we just hang out for a few days?"
"I've been out for more than 20 days. You don't know how I've been living these days. I'm going to starve to death if I don't come back."
These days, Li Chengqi eats nothing but instant noodles as tribute from Viola and the others. He has long missed the set meals at the small restaurant next door.
"Haha, Xiao Li, you'd better learn to cook for yourself."
"Even if I learn it, how can I compare with Brother Zhang in my craftsmanship?"
Brother Zhang's cooking is definitely not comparable to that of the chefs in big hotels, but it still has a homely taste. Almost everyone from the children in the nearby school and the merchants on this street are regular customers of their small restaurant.
"When can it be opened?"
"Don't worry, we still have to go to the child's grandma's house, probably in a week."
"Okay, I'll just wait."
"Hurry up and find a girlfriend. As for eating instant noodles all day long? Looking at your face, I know you won't listen even if you say it. Forget it, I'm leaving."
After waving goodbye to Brother Zhang and his family, Li Chengqi turned back to the store.
Just as he sat down, Lei Lei walked in again.
Lei Lei has been showing up at the convenience store almost every day in the past two days. Li Chengqi thought it was because she had just moved and was lacking everything.
Yesterday I bought popsicles, and today Lei Lei bought a bunch of potato chips and other snacks.
"There's good news, Brother Zhang and the others are back."
"Brother Zhang?"
"I mentioned to you before that the small restaurant next door with very delicious food will open in a week."
"Really? I've wanted to try it for a long time."
Lei Lei pretended to be very interested and said while watching Li Chengqi scan the code:
"Brother Li, are you playing minesweeper again?"
"After all, minesweeping is entertainment for old people like me. I've installed it for you, and I'll give you a few more bubble gums. Go back and do your homework. School will start in a while, right?"
"Well, thank you, Brother Li."
Lei Lei thanked her with a sweet smile, then left with the snack bag in her arms.
But as soon as she went out, Lei Lei frowned.
Of course, last night's power outage was not caused by natural causes, but was caused by Lei Lei's magic. While Li Chengqi was searching for the emergency light, she was actually standing at the base of the wall downstairs, listening to what was going on in the house.
Lei Lei originally thought that if there was a sudden power outage, Li Chengqi would show some flaws, but she didn't expect that he would act so well that Lei Lei would not notice any flaws at all. Although they have more contact now and their relationship seems to have become closer, Lei Lei really doesn't see any problem.
According to the information she has collected so far, Li Chengqi is just an ordinary person who likes to squat behind the cashier all day and play minesweeper. At most, he is an ordinary person who is enthusiastic and has a good relationship with his neighbors.
But the increasingly rich aura around him cannot be faked. Where is the flaw?
This made Lei Lei puzzled.
Li Chengqi, who stayed in the store, obviously didn't know that he was being tested again. He opened his laptop as usual and looked at what was going on in the game.
After last night's fierce battle, the winter wolves have been completely defeated, and the remaining winter wolves have returned to the snowfield.
However, Viola and the others have not yet led their troops back so quickly. They need to deal with the wounded and dead, as well as the bodies of the winter wolves, otherwise it will be more troublesome to attract other carnivorous monsters.
Due to the four-hour time difference, it was 8:30 am here in Li Chengqi's place, while it was 4:30 am in the game.
Usually Viola was still asleep in bed at this time, but when Li Chengqi opened the game, he found that Viola was already awake in the temporary camp at Silver Pass. Or maybe she simply didn't sleep last night.
She was in a big tent, surrounded by the Guards Knights and Reiner, and in front of her was a little white-haired man kneeling on a stall.
Since he has two heads, the easiest and most intuitive way to tell the character apart is by looking at his hair color.
There were also some Baimao in the Knights of the Guards. Li Chengqi initially thought that one of the Knights of the Guards had made a mistake and was being criticized.
But when he clicked on the white hair kneeling on the carpet, the pop-up picture that popped up from the side of the screen showed a teenage girl that he had never seen before.
He doesn't feel like a member of the Guards Knights.
Click on the ability panel again, and the name column reads ‘Rhaena Scurix Mogul’.
Wait a minute!
This seems to be the white dragon last night!
–‐‐——–‐‐——
"Rhenia, you have to understand that you are now the king's servant and you cannot just eat the horses in the army!"
"I know, I won't just eat horses next time."
"Not even humans!"
Due to the holy light falling from the sky, Viola felt that the Demon King God was ready to let the white dragon go, so she used the holy light to treat the wounded and the white dragon.
Of course, since it is the lowest level group healing spell, its effect on white dragons is quite average.
But Long's body is indeed strong, and he can move freely after simple treatment. However, the injury has not healed, so he has not yet recovered to the level that he can fight.
As for turning into a human form, this is a standard ability of dragons.
Any real dragon can transform itself into a human form. At most, different types of dragons will have slightly different hair colors.
White dragon, naturally has white hair.
This ability makes it easier for dragons to blend into mortal society. They often use this stance to enter cities as travelers and then scout to see if there is any profit.
The dragon's love for precious metals cannot be restrained, but the dragon is not an idiot, and grabbing it will definitely cause trouble.
This operation is equivalent to stepping on the plate in advance to see if it is easy to start.
Another benefit of appearing in human form is that the body's injuries will be temporarily suppressed. This is a deformation effect that completely transforms the body into a human form and reduces food consumption.
Even some dragon habits cannot be changed. For example, when they are hungry, they directly catch military horses to eat...
So Rhaena is being severely criticized by Viola here.
That's really someone who dares to speak and listen. The surrounding knights were surprised that Her Royal Highness the Princess could scold the dragon so much that she couldn't stop talking. They were also surprised that Bailong's IQ was not very high...
