Xu Qingran clicked on the post.
The Xu family was obviously very proud of Xu Qing'an's ability to get a place in the medical school, and they were going to host a banquet at the seven-star Royal Silver Dragon Hotel in the Andromeda Galaxy. The time was next Saturday, and the guests invited included all the branch relatives of the Xu family, all of Xu Qing'an's middle school classmates, and the classmates who were close to him.
Simply put, most of the school, even the teachers, were invited.
It was quite a big deal. The Xu family members mentioned showing off from time to time when they were interviewed some time ago, so many people paid attention to this matter.
Someone else asked: Will the eldest son of the Xu family go too
Xu Qingran tapped lightly on the line of words with his finger.
He did not receive an invitation, nor did he receive any notification from the Xu family. If he had not seen this invitation by chance, he would have almost forgotten about it.
Originally, the Xu family hadn't invited him, and he had no interest in joining. But when he thought back to the time when he first came here, he and the original owner had inexplicably endured the insults, and narrowed his eyes unhappily.
—I've already taken the blame, and I'll always feel uncomfortable if I don't do something to confirm those rumors.
The system sensed his thoughts and immediately sounded the alarm: "Host, what do you want to do?!"
Xu Qingran answered nonchalantly: "What can I do? I'm just joining in the fun and sending my blessings. Don't think so badly of me."
The system thought to itself that it believed its host's evil.
And who did you learn the following sentence from? Why does it sound so familiar
Xu Qingran lazily leaned on the sofa, elegantly crossed his legs and continued to peek at the screen. The divided reactions of netizens to the news and his response ruined his good mood for the whole afternoon.
The Shen family's announcement will undoubtedly cause a big stir among the major families. Some of the upper-level business cooperation may have to reconsider bringing the Xu family in. However, for now, they can only wait and see, and everything depends on the final attitude of the Shen family.
Although the Xu family is a wealthy family, it is still a bit dwarfed by the Shen family, which has hundreds of years of history, is involved in both politics and business, and even received the title of the empire. So when Xu's father mentioned Xu Qingran these few days, he was no longer so disgusted, and even began to spontaneously make up for Xu Qingran's bad reputation.
Xu Qingran didn’t know any of this, and even if he did, he wouldn’t care.
However, in this matter, naturally some people are happy and some are sad.
The Xu family was certainly happy for their own benefit, after all, businessmen didn't see any difference between camps. But Xu Qing'an, who was waiting to see Xu Qingran's joke, was rather upset.
"Second Master Xu, you came here and promised me that you would give me a big gift. I was already prepared and was going to share the fun with my friends, but what happened today was the promise you made to me?"
In a bar in the joint management area of the two camps of the Tianshen system, Boss Chen sat in a corner separated by a beaded curtain, looking at the boy standing in front of him with a contemptuous attitude. He stretched out his hands and slumped on the long seat, his short legs were still shaking slightly, and the big gold chain on his neck was shining under the reflection of the light above his head.
Because of the chaotic work and rest schedule over the years, his hair was greasy and sparse. His face was as round as a pancake, and his turbid and lustful pupils could barely be seen in his narrow eye sockets. There was a big mole above his thick lips, and his big nostrils pointed directly at people when he raised his head to talk.
"You made me be laughed at by my friends for nothing!" The large man picked up the wine glass on the table and took a gulp angrily.
Chen Shengfei had seen Xu Qingran by chance at an event a few years ago. Although he was still a high school student at that time, he had grown up gradually and was as beautiful as a ripe fruit waiting to be picked. He fell in love with her at first sight, but at that time, Lu Cheng was always with him, and it was not convenient for him to make a move since he was a minor, so he let it go.
When Xu Qing'an came to tell him the news some time ago, he was so excited that he even declared in front of his friends that he would give the man to them for their enjoyment after he had trained him.
As a result, Xu Qingran ended up at the Shen family.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He glanced at Xu Qing'an with lustful eyes, and suddenly said with a mean smile, "Qing'an, this matter is all your negligence. Now that your brother can't give it to me, why don't you make amends for him?"
Xu Qing'an used the action of drinking juice to hide the disgust that flashed across his eyes.
If it weren't for Boss Chen's wide network of contacts and if they didn't have some small cooperation, he wouldn't want to bother with a disgusting person like him.
After putting down the juice cup, he tried to maintain a polite smile: "Boss Chen, our Lu family of Yinlong is not someone you can afford to offend."
"Besides, when I came here, I didn't guarantee you that the news was 100% accurate. I just said that I had heard something and you might look forward to it. It was you who couldn't help showing off to others and opened champagne to celebrate in advance. Now you have lost face and you can't blame others."
Boss Chen curled his lips and shook his shoulders: "Okay, I can only blame myself for my bad luck, but I'm just very unhappy now."
After saying that, he waved his hand to call over the little boy who was sitting on a small sofa nearby, hugging and kissing each other. He took out a stack of money and threw it on the table. The eyes of the two people who originally felt that their fun was ruined immediately lit up, and then they squatted in front of him sensibly and started doing ridiculous things.
Xu Qing'an felt sick after watching this, so he sat in the seat farthest away from Boss Chen and checked his phone to block out the sticky and unpleasant sounds in his ears.
The bar here is divided into several floors, and they are currently located on the second underground floor. It is a member's club that requires a special VVIP card to enter. It mostly entertains same-sex lovers, and the atmosphere is very open. In the sweet music and dim atmosphere, many people flirt and do it on the spot.
This floor also has young and beautiful prostitutes arranged by Boss Chen at a high price. Those who don't have a partner can spend money to enjoy them. As long as the money is enough, you can do whatever you want. Some of the more powerful ones will directly perform group shows on the big stage.
Boss Chen runs such an entertainment venue.
Rich or poor, they all like to come to such places to indulge, showing the ugliness of human nature and instinctive desires. What's funny is that the Kaian Empire also claims to be the place with the best social image and atmosphere, but they don't know that they are just releasing the repressed things hidden in the dark and secret places.
Chen Shengfei was just in the mood, so it didn't last long. After it was over, he calmed down a bit, and with a flushed face, he sent Xu Qing'an to the public bar on the first floor. This is a place where ordinary people come to enjoy themselves, and many young people come here to socialize and party, and it's not as chaotic as downstairs.
Xu Qing'an was about to leave when he suddenly noticed a girl with long hair on the dance floor.
She wore a black, tight-fitting mini dress that perfectly showed off her figure, and danced happily with her friends and several rich second-generations.
He recognized her.
Zhang Hongyan's youngest daughter is also her most beautiful child. So she has been raising her in luxury since she was young, buying her all kinds of clothes and cosmetics, hoping that she will soon find a rich second-generation husband and bring her a wealthy family.
Xu Qing'an was unable to see Xu Qingran's joke, and he felt resentful. He even suspected that all this was Zhang Hongyan's doing after he left, and she had no intention of helping him at all.
With resentment in his heart, he called out to Boss Chen.
Pointing at Zhang Hongyan's little daughter on the dance floor, he said, "Although my brother can't get his hands on her for now, I think that girl is pretty good. It just so happens that we have made some new progress in the drug we are researching recently, and we can use it on her for a test. What do you think?"
When Xu Qing'an saw Chen Shengfei staring at others with a lewd smile on his face, he knew that he was quite satisfied with this choice.
He patted his shoulder and added, "If I'm not mistaken, her spiritual seal should be on the left lower back. You can figure it out yourself."
After saying this, he left through a special secret passage, without letting anyone at the scene notice his presence.
The song in the bar just happened to switch to a more explosive one, and everyone was infected by the music and the atmosphere became even more lively.
Tonight is another carnival.
·
During Shen Tianyi's vacation, he stayed at home every day and began to feel a little restless.
He sighed and turned off his Asteroid. He was temporarily bored with the game inside. After thinking about it, he pulled the young man on the other side of the sofa and said, "Brother, take me out for a walk. If you don't go out, my uncle won't let me go out alone!"
Xu Qingran always felt strange when hearing Shen Tianyi's address.
Looking at the child's gullible face and innocent eyes, he came up with an idea and said, "It's too rude to call me that, and we haven't established a relationship yet, so change your name."
Shen Tianyi took the bait and asked with blinking eyes: "What do you want to change?"
Xu Qingran smiled with eyes curved like a cunning fox: "You should call me little aunt."
Shen Tianyi frowned in confusion: "But this seems to be the name my other uncles use to address their wives? I seem to remember my uncle teaching me to call them that before."
Xu Qingran remained calm: "You remembered it wrong, and if you add a "xiao" in front of it, you are not calling them wives anymore."
It's used to deal with your uncle.
system:"… "
What a sin.
Shen Tianyi nodded, not quite understanding, and obediently changed his words: "Then auntie, can you take me out for a walk? I'm almost growing mushrooms at home, and I want to go buy toys. Voltman has recently released a new series of models!"
Xu Qingran was slightly stunned: "What is Voltman?"
He only knows Ultraman.
Shen Tianyi was stunned for a few seconds, then asked in shock and anger: "You don't even know Voltman?!"
Then she angrily led him to her room, showed him a cabinet full of models, pointed to the toy that most resembled his impression of Ultraman and said, "This is Voltman! He is our light! He is a powerful and great savior! All creatures from outer space are afraid of him!"
Xu Qingran: "…Why is it called Voltman?"
Shen Tianyi: "Because his move is to discharge electricity. It can discharge 100,000 volts! 1 million volts! 10 million volts! It can repel many alien creatures!"
Xu Qingran was silent.
Pikachu
But I always feel like something is not right.
Until the system woke up from the dream with a word: "Oh, isn't this a replica of the host?"
"Your supernatural power in your previous life was also lightning-related!"
Xu Qingran: “…”
Damn, no wonder he not only didn’t feel cool at all after hearing it, but even felt so embarrassed that he wanted to pick his feet!
He refused to talk about this topic anymore, and finally managed to completely let go of his childhood hobby. However, seeing the model reminded him of some interesting things. It just so happened that he was going to Xu's house next weekend to attend Xu Qing'an's graduation banquet, so he could buy some "gifts" by the way.
So he accepted Shen Tianyi's request and sent a message to Shen Tingyu, and then went to another planet in the same system under Xiao Zhang's escort.
SR Sirius-Crystal Star, New Town Center District 1.
The new city of Jingxing is the most lively science and technology commercial city in the Sirius system. There are few residences here, and most of them are high-end restaurants and shopping malls. There are also science museums and science and technology amusement parks that are very suitable for bringing children to play and learn.
Shen Tianyi knew more about the things in the Golden Wing Camp, so Xu Qingran went to the luxury shopping mall he designated.
In the center of the square stood a phoenix made of pure gold, with its head raised and wings spread, its tail feathers spread out gracefully, gentle yet resolute. The floor underfoot was paved with expensive crystal stones, and the handrails on the tall buildings were all finely carved with gold and silver.
A huge diamond chandelier hangs on the highest ceiling in the hollow center of the building, which reflects natural colorful light in a trance.
This is the Huiyi Shopping Mall, which is said to be one of the businesses of the Su family in Jinyiying. The Crystal Star itself, including the surrounding non-habitable planets, are all mineral sources, so the buildings here are generally made of luxurious materials.
Xu Qingran was still immersed in the elegant scene that he had never had the chance to see in his previous life when someone suddenly pulled the hem of his clothes again.
Shen Tianyi held his face and said, "Aunt, can we go to the toilet first?"
It took them about two hours to get here, and Shen Tianyi was only four or five years old, so it was normal for him to be unable to hold it in.
Xu Qingran had no objection, and held his hand and followed the icon instructions in the mall, and finally found a toilet on the ground floor. The child saw the toilet sign in the corner from a distance, so he let go of his hand and hurried over.
As he took a step to catch up, he saw that he accidentally bumped into a figure walking in the opposite direction from the crowd. The other person was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a loose black shirt, black pants and a dark leather jacket, and his physique could not be seen. He also wore a mask on his face, and the peaked cap on his head completely covered his face as he deliberately lowered his head.
However, when Xu Qingran passed by the other person, he suddenly stopped.
The man smelled of blood.
Although it was very faint, he still sensed the familiar smell the moment he touched it. And if he was right, he felt that he also had a very evil murderous aura.
When Xu Qingran turned around to look again, the figure had already disappeared in the crowd. He recalled that the direction the other person came out seemed to be the toilet that Shen Tianyi was going to, so he pursed his lips and chased after him, grabbing his lotus-like little arm before the child entered the toilet.
Meeting Shen Tianyi's puzzled look, he paused and asked, "Didn't you just say that the place to buy models is on the third floor?"
"Yes." Shen Tianyi nodded.
He took the opportunity to lead the people out a little bit: "The elevator is in front, let's go up first and use the toilet on the third floor. This way, we can go to the model shop right after we come out, saving a lot of time, don't you think?"
Shen Tianyi, who is not very good at math, thought it made sense: "That's right, my aunt is really smart!"
The attempt to fool Shen Tianyi was still going smoothly.
The toilet on the third floor was not crowded and clean. He went in and stood beside the sink, waiting for Shen Tianyi to finish using the toilet and wash his hands before leaving with him. Coming out of the toilet and passing the small overpass, across from him was the toy city that Shen Tianyi was going to.
The kid had a clear purpose and headed straight for the Voltman area. Xu Qingran followed him slowly, keeping a distance from him so that he could see him, and looked at the merchandise in the store as he walked.
It was the holiday and there were many parents bringing their children to the store to buy toys.
Xu Qingran didn't see anything he liked, so when he saw Shen Tianyi taking down a model series box from the shelf that was almost as tall as him, he walked over to help him carry it and picked up another one at the same time.
"Eh? Auntie, didn't you say you didn't like Voltman?"
Xu Qingran smiled meaningfully: "So if you give it to someone as a gift, they will probably like it very much."
Shen Tianyi snorted, "Then they have much better vision than you."
After picking up the model he wanted most, Shen Tianyi walked around and picked up some alien monster toys, then decided to check out contentedly. Xu Qingran put all the things in the cart he had brought, and on the way to the checkout counter with the child, he suddenly saw a red bow that someone had casually placed on the doll shelf.
It was a hairpin used by girls. It looked new and had a price tag on it. Someone must have taken it but didn't want it anymore so they just put it here.
Xu Qingran stood in front of the shelf in a daze for a moment, until Shen Tianyi turned around and urged him, then he responded indifferently.
Then he grabbed the hairpin, lowered his eyes and threw it into the shopping cart.
When Xu Qingran took out his Star Card to pay, the lady at the counter recognized their regular customer Shen Tianyi and smiled and said, "You are the young master of the Shen family. You can get 20% off on all the items you buy today."
Shen Tianyi replied obediently: "Thank you, sister!"
Make people laugh so hard.
Checkout was smooth.
Xu Qingran didn't know how much money was in his card. He only knew that when he transferred the money into Shen Tingyu's account that day, the number in the card seemed to have not decreased, so he could swipe it at will.
The robot provided by the mall took over all the goods and followed the two people, one large and one small, down the stairs in the elevator. Back to the ground floor, before walking out of the door, they happened to pass by the toilet that Shen Tianyi almost rushed into.
Compared to the deserted scene just now, there were now a bunch of onlookers. They were talking among themselves, their faces becoming more and more terrified, as if they had heard something horrifying.
Many guards from the Gold Wing Battalion also arrived at the scene and pulled up long bars to prevent onlookers from approaching and entering.
This time, when he passed by the toilet again, the smell of blood that wafted to his nose became stronger. Shen Tianyi was concerned about his new toy, and his attention was all on the robot leading the bag, so he didn't care about the noise.
Xu Qingran overheard as he passed by and got a general idea of the situation.
Simply put, it was a murder case. The victim was killed in a very cruel way. His abdomen was cut open and his heart was taken out. Finally, his neck was chopped off in seconds.
If this was about revenge, Xu Qingran had no idea.
But if it's just for fun and you randomly pick a passerby to attack, then it would be interesting.
Shen Tianyi's energy can only sustain him until he gets home.
It was getting late, and Mrs. Song insisted not to let him take the toys apart first, and took him to take a shower and get ready for bed. Shen Tianyi looked at Xu Qingran pitifully, but the latter obviously had no intention of helping him, so he could only compromise and rubbed his sleepy eyes and left with Mrs. Song.
Xu Qingran carried his things back to the room, put them casually on the desk, picked up the tablet and entered the keywords on the search page.
As expected, there has been news related to the murder that occurred in Huiyi Shopping Mall in the afternoon.
It’s not a complete mystery, because the murderer’s name and even his photo have been released.
Minghai, male, 22 years old.
Golden Wing AQ Sky Eagle system, Fengxing Jiacheng was born.
E-type extremist, the Empire's most wanted S-level felon.'
The young man in the photo had black hair and black pupils, skin as white as paper, and slightly sunken cheeks. He was wearing the clothes of a felon in the evil tower, with a pretty good-looking face. He smiled at the camera in a somewhat unruly way, and his dead fish eyes were full of evil.
Before he was sent to the evil tower for torture, he had already killed dozens of people, not including the imperial guards who tried to arrest him. From men to women, from the elderly to children, none of them had anything to do with him, they were just poor people he picked to kill.
The murder that happened in the Huiyi Mall during the day was caused by the same method used by him. The cameras near the mall also captured a back view that matched his with a 99.99% match, so it was basically confirmed that it was this E-type who had just escaped from the evil tower not long ago who did it.
Xu Qingran stared at the report, thoughtfully.
The communicator suddenly rang at this time, and after he answered it, he realized it was Shen Tingyu.
"Did you go to the Huiyi Mall with Tianyi today?"
Shen Tingyu seemed to be outdoors, and a slight sound of wind could be heard over the communication.
Xu Qingran knew what he wanted to ask: "Don't worry, Tianyi knows nothing about this matter, and he didn't see any scenes that would give him nightmares."
"That's good." Shen Tingyu's voice was slightly tired. "If you meet this man named Minghai outside, don't be reckless. His spirit pool is very strong. If he was the same age as me today, if we really fought, he might be able to fight me on equal terms now."
Xu Qingran raised an eyebrow: "What if we compare it to your peak period?"
The other side laughed, and the laugh was a little sweet: "Give him some face, 70% to 30%."
"I have seven, he has three."
Xu Qingran followed with a smile, but said in a firm tone: "So General Shen, your mental pool is damaged."
The person on the other end of the call fell silent, leaving only the whistling of the wind in the background.
In the end, he didn't maintain his politeness and hung up the phone without saying hello.
The smile on Xu Qingran's face deepened a little.
The Admiral was not careful enough with him.
He stood up and wanted to pack up the things he bought today. When his eyes caught the red bow at the top of the bag, his smile faded a little. He picked it up and looked at it for a long time before opening the drawer and putting it away carefully like a treasure.
In the blink of an eye, it's another weekend.
The auspicious day has arrived for the Xu family to hold a graduation banquet for their precious child.
During this time, Xu Qingran went back to the Xu family. No one was home at the time, so he successfully drove the original owner's aircraft back without alerting others. After the original owner's soul left, all the items in this world had been registered as his soul information and could be driven without any obstacles.
So today, he drove to the seven-star hotel in Andromeda by himself. The hotel was indeed very beautiful and magnificent, with a large front yard and many themed gardens and fountains.
At the top of the main building, there is a giant dragon made entirely of silver lying down, with its eyes slightly closed and its wings folded, resting.
Xu Qingran stood at the gate, looking down at a pile of service orders placed not long ago on his phone, and curled his eyes. The lobby manager saw him and came over to ask, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
"I'm here to attend the banquet held by the Xu family in your hotel today." Xu Qingran replied.
He didn't have an invitation, but he had the ID card of the eldest son of the Xu family. The manager also knew his identity and subconsciously regarded him as an internal guest of the family, and directed him to the direction of the banquet hall.
The Xu family always cared about their reputation, so the banquet hall they rented was naturally the most expensive, largest, and most luxurious one, located on the top floor. He took the elevator up with the gift bag in his hand, and as soon as the elevator door opened, he saw the banquet hall with its door still open in the distance.
The guests seemed to have all arrived, most of them had already taken their seats, and the rest were socializing with happy smiles on their faces.
Xu Qingran, wearing a simple white shirt and suit pants, and leather shoes, walked towards the banquet hall. Xu's father and his stepmother, as well as Xu Qingan and Lu Cheng, were at the front of the banquet hall, talking to the elders who looked quite famous.
Everyone was busy with their own things and didn't notice his appearance.
Xu Qingran would not be willing to be ignored.
So he took out the loud salute he had prepared early in the morning and set it off directly in front of the banquet hall door.
The world was completely silent after that loud noise.
Everyone's eyes fell on him in surprise or fear, and the fireworks scattered slightly, adding a festive touch to the ground.
While everyone was standing still, Xu Qingran started to move.
The colorful flowers that fell on his shoulders landed on the ground as he walked. He was like a person born with a spotlight. Once he appeared and attracted the attention of others, all eyes would subconsciously follow him and would not move away.
Xu Qingran came up to Xu's father and others who had shocked expressions, and his eyes first fell on his stepmother.
Compared to the last time we met, she looked a little weak, as if she had just had a serious illness recently.
The arc of his eyes deepened a little, he picked up the bag in his hand and handed it to her, saying in a calm voice: "By the way, Auntie, I happened to go shopping in the toy city with my child that day, and I picked out a gift for the future baby in your belly."
Xu Qingran pretended not to notice her face turning pale for a moment, chuckled and continued, "It's the latest series of Voltman models."
