Wu Liangshu frowned, breathed a long sigh of relief, and began to check his system panel.
[The seventh owner of Hope Cafe]: Wu Liang
[Health value]: 41 days without illness or injury + 16 days with lingering breath
[Task]: None yet
[Materials]: 1 River of Time card
[Hope Coin]: 5893
[Mall]: Partially unlocked
[Team]: (1/2) Wang Zhaozhao
After a lot of hard work, the Hope Coin finally returned to four digits, Wu Liang smiled helplessly.
A month and a half has passed, and the relevant departments have not yet come to him about Gao Qi. It is possible that they have found other evidence that proves that Gao Qi committed suicide.
Although he felt a little uneasy, Wu Liang was not willing to spend 5,000 hope coins to exchange for a tracking card at this time to find Gao Qi's body and track down the mastermind who might be hiding in the dark.
After all, the next mission may be released soon. If I only have 893 hope coins left on hand, I may be even more constrained if I want to complete the mission.
When completing this mission, the man behind the scenes did not jump out to set any obstacles for himself.
At this time, Wu Liang speculated that Gao Qi and the handsome man who was most likely the mastermind might have another relationship. The theft of Gao Qi's body may not be because the mastermind was targeting him.
Wang Zhaozhao was very helpful in this mission. Looking at Wang Zhaozhao's name in his team menu, Wu Liang felt warm in his heart and asked the system: "System, I got 30 days of no illness or injury in this mission." time, does my team member Wang Zhaozhao also have this reward?"
"Yes." The system replied simply.
"Will someone like Wang Zhaozhao, who has a long lifespan, consume the disease-free and injury-free time given by the system first, or will she consume her original lifespan first?" Wu Liang asked curiously.
"Priority is given to consuming the disease-free and injury-free time given by the system." The system answered mechanically.
"Okay." Wu Liang felt a little regretful.
It would be great if the disease-free and injury-free time given by the system was consumed at the end of her life. In that case, as long as Wang Zhaozhao and herself do more tasks, when her life is about to come to an end in her later years, she will suddenly have a disease-free period. The time when there is no injury will definitely be a surprise.
The first six owners of the Hope Coffee House were all dead. Although he didn’t know the reason, Wu’s conscience still felt a little vigilant.
Wu Liang also didn't know how many tasks assigned by the system he could complete and how much time he could buy to extend his life. He could only try his best.
It can be said that Chen Wei takes the greatest credit for the success of this mission. If it weren't for the help of this technical master, Wu Liang wouldn't even know how to create a web page for the prize event, let alone the website of the Master of Justice.
When asking Chen Wei to build the Master of Justice website, Wu Liang once told Chen Wei that he hoped he would charge according to the market price.
But this matter was flatly rejected by Chen Wei.
Chen Wei said to Wu Liang dissatisfied at that time: "You Wu Liang can spend millions of cash out of your own pocket to solve the complex and troublesome problems of health care product MLM and micro-business MLM. I, Chen Wei, am just doing this." I'm just trying my best to do my best, so how can I accept your money? Who do you think I am, Chen Wei?"
Seeing Chen Wei's resolute attitude, Wu Liang had no choice but to give up, feeling even more moved.
Chen Wei was the first person he met after coming to this world, the first customer he helped in the Hope Cafe, his friend today, and a pure good person.
Now there are no new helpers coming to the Hope Coffee House. Thinking that today happens to be Sunday and Chen Wei does not have to go to work, Wu Liang plans to take Wang Zhaozhao and make an appointment for dinner with Chen Wei so that the three of them can celebrate.
Wu Liang first called Chen Wei, and the two quickly agreed on the time and place for dinner.
Thinking that Wang Zhaozhao should be with his family at this time, Wu Liang did not want to disturb him, so he sent Wang Zhaozhao a text message and told her about the matter.
Wu Liang had not had a good rest for many days in a row, and now he was light-hearted. Seeing that it was still early for dinner, he unexpectedly wanted to take a long nap with his head covered.
This night, Wu Liang slept very soundly.
When Wu Liang woke up, the time agreed with Chen Wei was already very close.
It was getting late, but Wang Zhaozhao still did not return to Hope Cafe.
Wu Liang glanced at his phone. She didn't reply to the text message he sent her about dinner tonight.
How is this going? Was there something going on with her mother? Or is her grandfather's condition relapsing again
Wu Liang was a little worried and quickly called Wang Zhaozhao.
The call went through, but no one answered.
Wu Liang was a little anxious and quickly called again.
This time, the "beep" sound only rang twice before Wang Zhaozhao answered the phone.
"My phone is on silent mode and I didn't hear your call to me. What's wrong, boss? Do you have any instructions?" Wang Zhaozhao's brisk voice came from the other end of the phone, but Wu Liang seemed to be able to hear a hint of hoarseness.
"It's not a big deal. I sent you a message a few hours ago. When you didn't reply, I called and asked. I heard something was wrong in your voice. Did something happen?" Wu Liang asked with concern.
"It's okay. I'm just so happy today that my voice is hoarse. I really didn't notice the message you sent. Boss, what did you send me?"
"I originally wanted to take you to have dinner with Chen Wei to celebrate. Is it convenient for you now? If we come back now, we can go together and you can still make it." Wu Liang asked with a smile.
"Well... Boss, can I not go now? I... I'm waiting for my mother here. It's a little hard for her to accept the fact that the limit has fallen... I have to continue to persuade her."
"Do you need my help? Corresponding policies have been introduced. Your mother can go to a vocational training school in Yucheng to learn a skill for free and then choose a new career."
"Well, the main thing is to persuade my mother to adjust her mentality. Boss, you can't help with this kind of thing."
"Then please stay with her. I'll call you next time I invite Chen Wei to have dinner with her."
"Okay, by the way, boss, I might have to stay with my mother tonight. If I don't come back to Hope Cafe, you don't have to worry about me."
"OK, all right"
"Boss, my mother is here. I'll hang up first." Wang Zhaozhao hung up the phone.
Because Wang Zhaozhao had something to do at home, Wu Liang went to the hot pot restaurant he had made an appointment with Chen Wei alone. The two ate spicy hot pot and drank a lot of beer before going home.
After Wu Liang returned to Hope Cafe, he still didn't see Wang Zhaozhao. He should have rested at her mother's place.
I hope that Wang Zhaozhao, who always likes to call himself boss, is suddenly gone in the coffee shop, and it seems a little deserted.
Wu Liang made himself a cup of coffee and sat in a chair in a daze.
Suddenly, there was a sound of opening the door.
A new customer has arrived.
Wu Liang stood up quickly, showed a warm smile, and said hello: "Hello, I hope you are welcome to the coffee house."
A man in his thirties was standing tiredly at the door, looking at Wu Liang blankly.
[Basic Task]: Help Gu Donglin regain hope. (Hope value increases to more than 60%)
Gu Donglin's current status:
Hope value: -98%
[Task Limitation]: There is a limit of 3 truth cards and a limit of 3 trust cards.
[Task Reward]: 30 days without illness or injury.
The new mission finally arrived, and Wu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.
"Hello! Please sit down for a while, and I will make you a cup of coffee." Wu Liang said to the man named Gu Donglin with a warm smile.
Gu Donglin mechanically walked to the table and sat down, his blank eyes turning to Wu Liang who was busy at the counter again.
Wu Liang quickly made a cup of sea salt caramel mocha, gently placed it in front of Gu Donglin, and said with a smile: "Sir, please use it slowly."
Gu Donglin picked up the coffee and looked at it confusedly for a while. Fear suddenly appeared in his eyes. With his right hand trembling, he put the coffee cup back on the table, pointed at Wu Liang and asked, "Did she send you here?"
Hearing Gu Donglin's question, Wu Liang was a little confused, but looking at the fear rising in Gu Donglin's eyes, he roughly understood that he probably didn't trust himself and the cup of coffee he handed him.
Wu Liang quickly picked up the coffee in front of Gu Donglin, drank it all in one gulp, and showed the empty cup to him. Then he smiled and said: "This is the Hope Coffee House. It's very safe. The coffee tastes good. Drink it." It will calm you down, would you like a drink?"
Gu Donglin didn't speak, just shook his head silently, looking blankly at the empty coffee cup on the table.
Wu Liang did not dare to act rashly anymore and slowly sat down opposite Gu Donglin, his back already soaked with cold sweat.
Just after he handed the coffee to Gu Donglin, his hope value quickly dropped from -98% to -99%.
Wu Liang was so frightened that he drank the entire cup of coffee in one go to prove his innocence.
Gu Donglin's fear gradually subsided, and his hope level returned to -98%.
Wu Liang originally wanted to try making a new cup of coffee for Gu Donglin. After all, sea salt caramel mocha can effectively relieve anxiety.
But Gu Donglin simply shook his head and refused, which made Wu Liang dare not act rashly.
It had been ten minutes since Gu Donglin came to the door, but Wu Liang could only sit across from him, silently watching him wandering around, not even knowing why he was desperate.
In order to let Gu Donglin relax, Wu Liang kept smiling and exuding a gentle aura that was worthy of being trusted.
After a long time, Gu Donglin finally said his first words: "I will be killed by my wife soon."
