Pofei habitually walked with his head buried, and didn't pay attention to the man getting off the car, let alone the man's gaze on him.
As he got closer, Kan Ming took a closer look. The boy was wearing old-fashioned sneakers, and his trousers were probably a little wrinkled due to part-time work, but it could be seen that the cuffs and trousers were cleaned normally, and there were no stains on the cuffs and trousers, which were obviously nutritious The bad face was full of fatigue, showing a thin wrist, and the bag in his hand was extremely dazzling.
Po Fei walked away in a hurry, a black figure suddenly accelerated towards him, and it was unavoidable, and the other party seemed to be aiming at the bag in his hand, his wrist was knocked loose, and the bag fell to the ground with a snap .
The man who was half a head taller than himself had a stiff face, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Perfei: "..." Why is this explanation so unconvincing
Kan Ming bent down and rushed to help Pofei pick up the bag, but Pofei went to get it but he didn't give it to him, "I'm so sorry for wasting your dinner."
Pofei frowned, and went to snatch it again, "It's okay."
Kan Ming took half a step back, avoiding Pofei's hand, and said in a sincere tone, "I'll pay you back, just as I'm going to have dinner too."
"No need." Pofei felt more and more suspicious of the person in front of him. If he hadn't held his dinner in his hand, he might have turned his head and left a long time ago.
"You live here?" Kan Ming still looked like a bully blocking the way and molesting a girl.
"..."
"Have a meal together?"
Pofei finally couldn't take it anymore, turned around and left.
Kan Ming hurriedly said: "It's a pity that I can't eat any leftovers, braised elbows, lion heads..."
Po Fei's feet were frozen.
He looked at Kan Ming suspiciously again, they are all men, and they just eat a meal, so it should be fine, and this big stupid... doesn't look like a bad guy, of course he is not attracted by those elbows and meatballs...
Kan Ming drove him to a well-known restaurant, and ordered everything he had said before, before asking Pofei what else he wanted to eat.
Po Fei swallowed without a trace, still with a cold expression on his face, "That's all."
Kan Ming nodded, closed the menu, and said to the waiter, "Two more bottles of juice and two more rice."
"Okay sir, please wait a moment." The waiter left.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and after a few minutes of silence, Kan Ming finally spoke first: "Which neighborhood do you live in?"
"Um."
"Look at you, are you a college student?"
Puffy replied, "No."
"Is that... working?"
"Well, sort of."
"What work?"
Probably because he was annoyed by Kan Ming, Po Fei took off his peaked cap, revealing his slender eyebrows, "Brother, you have a lot of questions."
Kan Ming was stunned for a moment, "...Okay, let's not ask." Anyway, the young man's life experience has long been clear to him, and it is precisely because of the investigation that it is too clear that he will feel sorry for a stranger who has never met before. .
Except for the time of class in the game, the teenager is working part-time most of the time, which is used to pay for the basic needs of the vegetative person in the nursing center. A 17-year-old elf, under the condition of alcoholism and gambling, how much pressure is it to support a broken home, and the investigation shows that Fang Gui has violent tendencies when he is drunk. In such an environment, the teenager life can be imagined.
Soon the food came to the table one after another, and Pofei buried his head in eating, eating very fast, and hardly chewed much, and didn't drink the poured juice.
"Drink something, eat slowly." Kan Ming said.
Pofei paused with his chopsticks, and seemed to feel that he looked a little embarrassed, but he still stuffed a piece of Dongpo meat into his mouth, and then took two sips of juice, "You...why don't you eat it."
"Ah, eat, I'm... waiting for the rice." Just as the waiter brought in two bowls of rice, Kan Ming put the meat on top of the rice and mixed it well.
Pofei probably found it strange, so he put some meat on top of the rice, mixed it well, and put it into his mouth with a spoon—it smells so good!
The two of them guarded a table of gourmet food like this, each ate two big bowls of "bibimbap" and then leaned on the dining chair comfortably and wanted to sleep.
"This meal... thank you." Pofei said, although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this stupid big gourd, but this meal was real.
"You're welcome." Kan Ming said with a smile, "I bumped into you first... Also, since we had dinner together, we are considered friends, how about you do me a favor?"
"What's busy?"
Kan Ming said: "There is a girl living on the third floor of Unit 1 of this building... I... am chasing her, she likes... willow garlands, so I want to send one there every day, but I am very busy at work and I want to find someone to live in." People around here help."
Pofei: "..." So dishonest.
Kan Ming continued, "If you have someone you can recommend to me, I can pay him."
Hearing the word salary, Pofei's narrow eyes lit up, "How much do you pay?"
Kan Ming suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, this is a real fan of food and money!
"Every day..." If you say too much, it seems too fake? "200 yuan, no more."
Pofei sat up straight holding his swollen stomach, "It's just 200 yuan a day for sending wreaths?"
Kan Ming said: "Not only that, but you have to make it yourself. The rougher the better, so that it looks more like what I made by hand. I send it twice a day, and I have to imitate my notes to write cards." Kan Ming worked hard to weave his own lies, Pretending not to see Pofei's white eyes.
I really don't understand the world of rich and stupid people, but money is easy to earn. It just so happens that tomorrow the trusteeship center has to pay the fee, and he is still more than a thousand short. I don't know where to get it. So Perfei patted his chest and took over the job. After leaving the hotel, Kan Ming immediately contacted the people below to rent a house in the community where Purfei is located.
After sending Pofei back to the community, the sky had already darkened. Looking at the young man's back under the dim streetlight, Kan Ming felt a little tight in his chest. From the first time he saw Pofei here, he unconsciously and I would like to ask for a comparison, one is held in the palm of the hand for fear of falling and being held in the mouth for fear of melting, and the other is doing heavy physical work and still hungry from time to time, but the two of them... Both used to be pure souls who were ignorant of the world .

When Kan Ming came to Mo Yicheng's hotel room, he was sitting on the sofa watching a movie with his "limited" snacks in his arms. Seeing Kan Ming saying hello, he knew it must be because of Pofei's business, so he quickly turned off the TV and sat down in a panic. . Mo Yicheng patted Yuan Suo on the back to tell him not to be nervous, and then motioned for Kan Ming to sit down.
Kan Ming sat down, went straight to the point, and said, "Fang Gui's current arrears have reached seven figures, and it is impossible for him to pay it back. Fang Ya has already been searched by him all these years, so you can Consider getting started on this.”
Mo Yicheng thought for a while, "But no matter how much money is given to him, he has no way to transfer the elf, it can only be temporary, and once this opening is opened, it will be a bottomless pit."
Kan Ming looked serious. It's not that he hasn't thought about this problem, but there is no better way now.
"Second Young Master, I want to give it a try. First, I will take the person... the elf from Fang Gui. Although the subsequent things are much uncontrollable, it is a positive method after all."
"Are you here to try?" Mo Yicheng heard Kan Ming's extra words.
"Yes, I'm willing to do my best to help Perfei." Kan Ming's eyes were unusually firm. Mo Yicheng knew Kan Ming's personality well, and knew that he had made up his mind now.
"Well, if there's anything I need to do, just ask."
"Okay, I will."
—
Pofei has been officially on duty for a few days. Every morning when he comes out of the game, the first thing that Pofei does is to bypass the wine bottles all over the floor, open the door and go downstairs.
Because it is an old-fashioned community, there is no greenery, but there are two large willow trees with luxuriant branches at the entrance of the alley. Po Fei took willow branches, made a "wreath" according to Kan Ming's "rough" standard, and delivered it to the address Kan Ming gave yesterday.
Pofei knocked on the door, and a young girl who opened the door was very beautiful and stylishly dressed... It's just that he couldn't figure out how such a person would live here. The girl, as usual, took the wicker garland, said thank you, and closed the door. Although I still have doubts in my heart, the 2,000 yuan salary prepaid by Kan Ming on the card is really attractive.
Fang Gui got up and went straight to the bathroom. After retching together, he cursed and went to the kitchen. He couldn't find anything to eat, so he yelled twice, but no one responded. He kicked the table twice, and went back to his room to sleep. went.
Someone knocked on the door suddenly, Fang Gui was unmoved, but the people outside seemed not ready to give up, which disturbed him, and finally jumped up to open the door.
As soon as the door was opened, I saw two tall men in black standing outside the door, not like the usual group of debt collectors, but they also looked menacing.
Before he could close the door, Fang Gui was dragged out by his collar.
"We have no malicious intentions, we just want to talk to you about something."
"There's nothing to talk about! Let me go! I'm telling you that what you're doing is breaking the law! I want to call the police..." Fang Gui was covered with his mouth and led downstairs, struggling desperately along the way.
When Pofei delivered the wreaths and bought breakfast, the door was ajar and Fang Gui was nowhere to be seen. There were no signs of fighting inside or outside the house, so Pofei didn't pay much attention to it. My best clothes are ready to go to the trusteeship institution to visit Fang Gui's lover, who is also his closest person in this world.
—
"Can you help me pay off all my debts?" The initial fear disappeared, and Fang Gui's arrogance immediately grew when he knew the purpose of the person opposite him.
Kan Ming's eyes were piercing, as eager as a knife to goug out the flesh of the other party's expensive, "Yes."
"Hehe, but do you think that such a small amount of money can buy such a big secret? If the elf is really sold on the market, it will not be at this price." Fang Gui looked like he was about to open his mouth.
Kan Ming snorted coldly, "Take it as if I don't know, such a smart game has a self-protection function, if you maliciously expose the game, the game will be paralyzed, and even the most high-end technical personnel can't understand this at all. This game, in their view, is just the most common low-end game. So you have no chance to sell it on the market.”
Fang Gui, who was exposed, turned pale, but soon hugged his shoulders with a brazen look, "But don't you come to buy it now? Since you want to buy it, don't be afraid to spend money."
Kan Ming looked gloomy, "How much do you want?"
Fang Gui gestured with his big hands that were still stained with oil, "Five million, one penny less, you don't even want to take that kid away! And, five million, I guarantee that in the future, if your computer crashes, you will need players to restart it." , I am always on call for any permission settings that require players to authenticate."
Kan Ming lowered his eyes and thought, without saying a word. It's not that he can't afford the five million, but whether Fang Gui's promise will be fulfilled after the five million.
After a long time, Kan Ming said slowly, "I can give you the price you asked."
Fang Gui's eyes lit up, and his whole body became excited.
"However, it cannot be paid in one lump sum."
"What do you mean?" Fang Gui was dissatisfied.
"Five million will be paid in five years. During this period, I need you to strictly fulfill your promise." According to the clues provided by Yuan Suo, Kan Ming has already calculated that as long as he is with his own help, it is entirely possible for Pofei Reach the full level within five years.
"That won't work!" Fang Gui was naturally dissatisfied with this "installment payment".
Kan Ming said again: "I'm talking about helping you pay off all the current debts."
Fang Gui froze for a moment, fell silent, seemed to be thinking, and said after a few minutes: "Okay, I promise you."
Kan Ming let out a deep breath of relief, "Okay."
Fang Gui grinned, the hangover made him a little unsteady, he shook a few times, "Bring the contract, sign it now."
Kan Ming raised his eyebrows, "No need, this kind of thing is not legally guaranteed even if you sign a contract."
"Haha, it's okay not to sign." Fang Gui didn't care, anyway, he was the dominant party.
Seeing Fang Gui's appearance, Kan Ming stood up suddenly, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and moved his neck. When he walked over, Fang Gui swallowed his saliva subconsciously and took two steps back.
"But if you dare to play tricks, I guarantee that there are many more effective means than a contract, which will allow you to perform your duties."
"... You... You don't need to scare people... I'm not afraid of you." Even though he said this, Fang Gui's legs were a little weak, because the aura of the man opposite him was too impressive.
The elf sold it for a good price, and Fang Gui generously handed over his mobile phone after the money arrived.
Kan Ming got the phone, turned on the screen and saw the empty simple apartment in the game, his expression finally eased, and he asked someone to send Fang Gui back.
Kan Ming told Mo Yicheng the latest situation at the first time, and Yuan Suo was very happy to hear it, but everyone knew in their hearts that although they got the control money from Perfei for the time being, it also planted a very big hidden danger , I am afraid that there are more problems to be dealt with, but at least at this moment, everyone's hearts are joyful.
The whereabouts of Pofei had already been reported to Kan Ming. After leaving the office, Kan Ming drove all the way to the custody center.
Fang Gui's wife is Tian Yao, and she has been here since the car accident five years ago and she was in a vegetative state. Pope will come to visit whenever he has time and stay by the bed.
Through the small window on the door of the ward, Kan Ming saw Po Fei kneeling beside the bed, wiping Tian Yao's cheeks with a handkerchief. After being in a coma for many years, Tian Yao's condition is very bad, his mouth is half open, his face is pale and ashen, lying on the hospital bed like a skeleton.
Kan Ming stood outside the door and watched until Pofei accidentally looked up and saw him, and went out in surprise and doubt.
"Why are you here?" Pofei thought it was a chance encounter.
Kan Ming smiled, "Come to ask if you finished your work this morning."
The corner of Pofei's mouth twitched, "Have you got a fever? Don't come here if you're sick, go to a mental hospital." Although it was a sarcastic remark, this was the longest sentence Kan Ming had ever heard him say since he met him. , and this teasing tone softened his whole being.
Kan Ming shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless, "Maybe, that's why I got this in a daze." Said, Kan Ming took out a mobile phone from his pocket.
At first, Pofei didn't understand what Kan Ming's words meant. It wasn't until he saw the phone clearly, including a small dent in the upper right corner of the screen, that he really confirmed that what Kan Ming was holding was the phone running his own game.
"You...you..." Pofei was speechless in surprise.
"Otherwise, go into the room and talk." Nursing staff and visiting family members will pass by from time to time in the corridor, which is really not a good place to talk.
At this moment, Pofei's mind was blank, and he followed Kan Ming into the room.
"What's going on here?" Pofei held the phone tightly and looked at Kan Ming warily.
Ten minutes later, Po Fei sat on the plastic stool beside the hospital bed in a daze, his hand holding the mobile phone trembling slightly, glanced at Kan Ming and dodged away.
"The last question, why did you do this?" Pofei bit the word "you" very hard. He didn't ask why Dudu and the players of Dudu, but why Kan Ming. What is the purpose of spending such a large amount of money in exchange for a useless little elf like myself
Kan Ming seemed to see through Pofei's mind, and said slowly: "Because when I saw you for the first time, the way you looked up at the sky with a convenience bag and looked down at the kitten was engraved in my heart. Like Dudu, you should have a happy life. I took over this game not to control you, nor to restrict you. You are an independent personality, and we get along like friends." Of course, there are many things that Kan Ming did not say, He has seen Pofei crouching alone under a tree and crying, he has seen him in a puppet coat handing out flyers and was almost hit by a car, and he has seen him spread out the money he earned and then drool at the food stall I can't even bear to buy a string of oden that costs one yuan.
"... Thank you." Pofei seemed to accept the result calmly, but at this moment his heart was already surging like a tsunami. He never thought that his life would have such a big change. He always thought that his ending would be to follow Fang Gui's sinking will return to darkness one day... But before that, he will try his best to give Tian Yao the best.
But neither of them paid attention, when they were talking, Tian Yao's withered fingers moved on the hospital bed.
With Perfei's approval, Kan Ming took the phone and solemnly held it in his hand, as if he had obtained the best treasure in the world.
"Can you open it?"
Pofei nodded uncomfortably, although he didn't know where the embarrassment came from.
Kan Ming smiled and clicked on Pofei's information.
Elf information:
Name: Pofei
Sex: Male
Age: 17 years old
Origin: Battlefield Area A in AD 3077
Personality: Introverted, loyal
Grade: 21
Skin Mode: Premium Version
Pofei has already changed his master once. Compared with the time since he came to the game, it is not short, and his level is actually comparable to that of Dudu.
Pofei seemed a little embarrassed, "Skipping... If you skip classes or don't take enough credits, you will lose your grade."
"Oh, so I took over a bad boy." Kan Ming said lightly.
Pofei frowned slightly, his expression of feigned anger was much more vivid than usual.
"Okay, let's take you to lunch?" Kan Ming patted Pofei's aching shoulder, and secretly decided to raise him like Dudu in the Q version, and then felt that he missed the appearance of Pofei in the Q version it is a pity.
Although Pofei was still a little unaccustomed to such an intimate act, he did not avoid it.
"What to eat?"
"Go eat oden."
The two ordered a super spicy pot at a small Kanto cooker, and they were sweating.
Purfei's pale face finally turned red, and Kan Ming was happy watching, but he still told him, "Drink something, or your stomach will hurt later."
The two of them ate their stomachs again before they calmed down to chat.
"Actually, my real player is not Fang Gui." Pofei said.
"What?" Yandu was almost cut off in Kan Ming's hand.
It turned out that Po Fei was only 8 years old when he came to this world. He was reborn in the game, and his master was Tian Yao who was still in college at the time.
Tian Yao is a high-achieving student in the art department. Although her parents died early in her family, she still completed her studies through work-study programs with her perseverance, and then became a very accomplished home decoration designer in the industry.
Because he had no relationship with his parents since he was a child, Tian Yao loved the "brother" in the phone very much, and the two got along very well. Perfei called Tian Yao's sister, but he already regarded her as his mother in his heart.
Later, Tian Yao married Fang Gui, and the two loved each other very much and had a happy marriage. Tian Yao also shared the secret of Purfei with her husband, and Tian Yao also accepted the existence of Purfei.
It's just that the good times didn't last long. In the second year after marriage, Tian Yao had an accident. That day Tian Yao took the 12-year-old Pofei out. Pofei saw a crying little boy lost in the middle of the road with his parents. Tian Yao rushed forward. So Po Fei and the little boy were pushed aside, and Tian Yao was knocked far away...
At that moment, Pofei, who was just a child, was so frightened that he almost lay down next to Tian Yao, his eyes were red, and his sister was covered in blood... When she was dying, she chose to transfer the player status of Pofei to her husband , Pofei naturally agrees.
Fang Gui spent all his wealth to save Tian Yao's life, but she never opened her eyes again. Fang Gui sinks day by day, gradually becomes addicted to drinking and gambling, loses his job, and blames all of this on Pofei, and Pofei already feels guilty, so he feels that everything is his fault .
Kan Ming rubbed Pofei's hair distressedly, "It's not your fault, Tian Yao loves you so much, she would even give up her life to save you, she definitely doesn't want you to live in self-blame, you have to live happily It is the greatest reward for her."
Perfei was silent, and finally nodded.
"Then what you said, your real player is Tian Yao..."
"Well, because my sister transferred the player's authority, but she didn't... die, so Fang Gui is just an agent player, and my sister is the real player."
After hearing Pofei's words, Kan Ming said in shock: "That means, in fact, your ownership is in Tian Yao's hands, as long as she is conscious, she can choose to untie the relationship between you and Fang Gui!"
Pope said: "Yes."
But Tian Yao has been in a coma for so many years, it is not easy for her to wake up and solve all this.
Kan Ming said: "Don't worry, I will find the best doctor and give Tian Yao the best treatment. I hope... she can recover soon." Although the hope is slim, I still have to try.
"Then... How can I repay you for helping me so much?" Pofei doesn't like to owe favors, even though he knows that what Kan Ming has done for him in this life will never be worth it.
Kan Ming was taken aback for a moment, then acted like he was thinking about it, and finally said seriously: "Why don't you promise me with your body."
When Pofei was stunned for a few seconds and was about to rush up to beat someone, Kan Ming laughed loudly, put the last string of hairy belly in Pofei's bowl, and took a deep breath, "You don't have to think about repaying me!" , Helping you is my choice, which is related to my own beliefs. Of course, if you really want to repay, I have always disliked strangers entering my room, so I will not hire housekeepers in the house from now on."
