NOVEL NEXT Chapter 189
The first time, the second time.
Early in the morning on the 3rd, Yu Xunge had just brushed his teeth and was thinking about what to eat for breakfast when he received a reward from Zhao Shuying.
The email contained two wooden lunch boxes with wood grain on them. They were rectangular and slightly larger than the palm of a hand, and about the same size as the ordinary lunch boxes used for takeout in restaurants.
There were also a few paragraphs in the email.
[The box with a "♪" in the upper right corner is yours, and the other box is for you and Tulan to satisfy your cravings - Food Maker]
[That sentence is given to you by the food maker. This reward can only be triggered once a day, so you will be given a reward every day for the next 29 days
[The food box has a fresh-keeping function, and there is only one reward for each food. As long as you take the first bite, no matter whether you can finish it or not, no matter whether you have increased attribute points or not, this food will no longer have the effect of increasing attribute points for others.
[If you fail to trigger it after the first bite, you will not be triggered again even if you continue to eat. There is only one chance a day. If you can't finish it, you can eat it slowly, but remember to watch the countdown. When the countdown ends, the food box will disappear with the things inside - Zhao Shuying]
Yu Xunge gently stroked the "♪" on the food box a few times, and after opening it, there was a palm-sized meat pie inside.
[Meat Pie] (100 points): A snack that can be found everywhere, but the quality of its ingredients and condiments, the degree of dough fermentation, the proportion and seasoning of meat fillings, the control of temperature during the production process, and even the timing of each flipping, every step is perfect. After eating, the health value is restored by 30%, and there is a chance to increase a freely assignable attribute point. The degree of the eater's love for the food will affect the triggering probability of this effect. This eating effect can only be triggered once a day. (Producer: Shen Yushi)
Shen Yushi... Such a distant name.
In her previous life, when she was officially wanted, Shen Yushi had sent her a few dishes that could add attribute points, and then asked her if she wanted help.
At that time, she had just started to escape, and she was very stubborn. She didn't want to implicate the old lady Shen Yushi, so she decisively refused - after all, the relationship between them as a grandparent and granddaughter was not very strong.
After leaving City B when they were young, they met a few dozen times in City S, and they never met again after they were 10 years old.
The next time they met was when she became an actress. There was a play that needed to use the courtyard as a scene.
That hot summer, she was wearing a large flowered cotton jacket and reciting lines in the alley, crying and jumping. After the performance, as soon as she wiped her tears, she saw the old lady standing at the entrance of the alley, fanning herself and looking at her. She didn't know how long she had been looking at her...
That was when they got in touch again. Yu Xunge didn't even know how Shen Yushi recognized her after so many years, when she had grown from a child to an adult.
Later, whenever she went to City B, she would ask Shen Yushi if she had time. If Shen Yushi said yes, she would go to see Shen Yushi and have a meal with her, that's all.
How could she have the nerve to bother the old lady with such a plain relationship.
But after she refused Shen Yushi's help, Shen Yushi would occasionally mail her a wooden box with "♪" engraved on the upper right corner, which contained dishes with a chance of increasing attribute points.
It wasn't a lot. She only remembered five times now, but these few times helped her get through a long period of time. Every time she hid in a corner and ate those hot noodles, she always felt that she could hold on for a few more days.
At that time, her luck was only 8, but every time she ate the food sent by Shen Yushi, she could increase her attribute points.
Later, she was really desperate. After receiving the spicy beef buns sent by Shen Yushi again, she mustered up the courage to ask Shen Yushi in the game private message if there was any organization in B City that was more friendly to individual players and was not afraid of offending the S City Guild. She wanted to go to B City, but promised that she would not bring her trouble.
[Shen Yushi]: You are not allowed to come to B City! You are not allowed to come to me.
After that, she never received Shen Yushi's food box again...
She never contacted Shen Yushi again, and even after rebirth, she didn't think about looking for Shen Yushi.
In her previous life, she was not sad or wronged, because she had no time to be sad. When she saw that sentence, she didn't even have time to reply before she had to roll to avoid the sneak attack.
She was not qualified to be sad. Although Shen Yushi was her grandmother, she had no obligation to help her and save her all the time, right? She couldn't be ungrateful.
Now she was strong enough to be afraid of nothing.
But when she recalled that moment, when the only match in her hand was blown out by the wind, she still couldn't let go of the grievance.
She grabbed the meat
She took a big bite of the pancake, almost filling her mouth. She swallowed it hard without savoring the taste, suppressing the sob in her throat.
A howling voice came from behind: "What delicious food are you eating~"
Yu Xunge blinked quickly, smiled and pushed another food box to her, which contained two meat pies, both 99 points: "Meat pies."
Tu Lan stared at her red eyes for a while, and used the [Expert Number] skill on her. The white light enveloped Yu Xunge's whole body, and the little ice dragon landed on her shoulders, opened its wings and hugged her head: "Have I cured your sadness?"
Yu Xunge wanted to cry even more, and she nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
There were only 3 meat pies in the two boxes, and Yu Xunge and Tu Lan shared them, each eating one and a half. After eating the meat pies, her mood calmed down.
In fact, she later guessed whether Shen Yushi had encountered something, and maybe she was also having a hard time.
But sometimes when people are most vulnerable, they don't get what they want most at the time, and they don't need it anymore after they get through it.
Shen Yushi accompanied her through the most confused and helpless period, and also blew away her hope when she had no way to escape and held on to the last glimmer of hope.
She didn't know how to face Shen Yushi.
Say resentment? That would be too ungrateful. She never blamed Shen Yushi.
Can you say she was completely grateful? It seems not entirely.
She just... just couldn't trust grandma anymore.
If she fell from the cliff again, she would not grab the hand that grandma stretched out to her, she would not grab anyone's hand, she would choose to grab the rock wall by herself, even if the sharp rock cut her palm, even if she was finally broken into pieces, it would be better than being let go.
So even though she knew that the other party had an extraordinary talent, Yu Xunge didn't get close to him after her rebirth. She thought, let it go, and it would be enough to interact with him as an ordinary relative as before.
If she had time to go to City B, she would visit Shen Yushi as before, eat with her, bring her gifts and honor her. If Shen Yushi was in danger, she would definitely help her... That's all.
After dinner, Yu Xunge was ready to take Tu Lan out to continue clearing the level 13 dungeon.
Although she didn't have time to browse the forum last night, Zhao Shuying sent her an email saying that the video of Tu Lan playing the dungeon was secretly filmed by someone, and it was definitely not done by the Special Affairs Bureau. Before Yu Xunge went to clean the level 13 dungeon today, the Special Affairs Bureau would arrange 99 players to enter the dungeon first to occupy the position, and they would come out after Yu Xunge went in to kill the monsters and locked the dungeon.
