Chapter 9: Spoiling Little Loli
It's a bit of a hassle to say, but from the time Wu Renjie kicked the door in to now is just over three minutes, and since Wu Yeru lives in a relatively remote area, it's likely that no one will find out for a while.
"Ding! Task completed, 1000 energy points obtained. Additionally, the host caused 741 effective attacks on the target, and will obtain an additional 7410 energy points. Due to the host's outstanding completion of the task, the system has awarded a basic swordsmanship manual as a gift. We look forward to the host continuing to work hard and improve their strength."
"Yes! I earned it!" Although Wu Ye Yu was already exhausted and panting, speaking with difficulty, he couldn't help but get excited when he heard that he had received a reward. The hard work of just one minute was totally worth it, and they were even sending him stuff - was this the rhythm of forcing him to go all out? This is really freaking awesome!
After calming down a bit, Wu Yeru turned to look at the little loli who was still crying uncontrollably. With both hands covering her eyes, big tears kept falling down, and Wu Yeru felt a pang of guilt in his heart. As they say, no one is more annoying than a child, and Wu Yeru suddenly thought that sometimes this little loli was also quite troublesome. He had made the cute little girl cry, and if word got out, how would he be able to show his face again?
"Hey, hey, don't cry anymore. You're a big person now, why are you still crying like a child? If your family finds out, they'll laugh at you. I just beat up a few bad guys, there's no need for you to cry about it."
"Nonsense! They've been really nice to me, ever since I got here they let me do whatever I want and even found someone to play with me. I didn't expect that when I came to you, you'd hit me!" Little Lori Wenyue felt sorry for those people, argued a few sentences, then cried even more sorrowfully.
"Hey, you're still sympathizing with them? You didn't see how they used to beat me up from when I was little till now. Just the other day, they even knocked me unconscious and left me alone in the woods for a whole night. Think about how dangerous it is in the woods! Luckily, no wild beasts came by while I was out cold, or else you wouldn't have even found my remains."
"I don't believe it! You must be lying, you're so much stronger than them, how could they possibly beat you? All I see is you bullying people! Hmph! Waaahhh~"
Good grief! This thing is really hard to explain, and can't be explained, or else everything will be exposed!
"I'm telling the truth, if you don't believe me, I can swear to it. If I deceive you, I'll be cursed, how about that? Now do you believe me?" Wu Yeru was really out of options, so he could only use the most unreliable words to try and trick little Luoli, hoping they would work.
"Hum! You're a bad guy! My grandfather said that you can't trust what bad people say, because eight or nine times out of ten they're cheating!"
"...your grandfather's, old man will only instill an abnormal worldview in people."
"It's true, I'm not cheating you. If you don't believe me, go ask anyone in the Wu family and they'll tell you if what I just said is true or not. It's not just these few people, even the head chef in the kitchen loves to bully me when he has nothing better to do." Wu Ye Yu's explanation seemed somewhat weak and unconvincing, feeling like she had jumped into a river and still couldn't wash herself clean.
"No way, I need to think of a solution. Can't get entangled with this little loli here. I still have to go outside the city to find energy points. Although I'm slightly better off now, who knows when this random task will be released? Relying on just this isn't reliable either. Hmm, no choice but to create some new distractions for now." Wu Ye Yu thought to himself as he casually pulled the injured little loli into his arms and stroked her head to comfort her, then secretly summoned the system to start searching for something.
As the darling of the Wen family, it's hard to believe that Wen Xiyue doesn't have a few trusted subordinates secretly protecting her. This time, because Wen Xiyue insisted on going out with her siblings, and the journey was long and fraught with danger, her bodyguards must have been carefully selected. Therefore, the head of the Wen family sent his most trusted aide, Old Yu, who is second only to himself in terms of ability, to protect Wen Xiyue.
This old Yu is incredibly powerful, having grown up with the master of the Wen family since childhood and gone through many life-and-death experiences together. His loyalty is unwavering, and his cultivation has already reached the peak of the Sword Emperor realm. Not to mention in Zhongzhou, even if placed among the entire human race, he would be considered a renowned expert. Except for those at the Sword Saint level or above, or the legendary Sword God realm, it's hard to imagine anything that could threaten him. The former are basically all powerful masters who wouldn't possibly take action against a child, while the latter can only be seen in legends. With such an expert by his side, the master of the Wen family can rest assured. Moreover, Old Yu has been watching over Wen Xiyue since childhood, and their relationship is like that of grandfather and grandson. His affection for Wen Xiyue is no less than anyone else's, making him the most suitable person to protect her.
In fact, since arriving in this small town of Clear Water, every move of Wen Xueyue has been under the control of Old Yu. As a top Sword Emperor-level expert, he can already extend his divine sense to very far places, and as long as it is within the range of his divine sense, his speed is basically instantaneous, absolutely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. So Old Yu's grasp of Wen Xueyue's whereabouts was like the back of his hand, and these days no matter where Little Loli went, she was always being watched by him at all times.
Even now, when a few people came to the outside of Wu Yeyu's small courtyard, things were also clear about the cause and effect. Although I don't know why Wu Yeyu suddenly went crazy and beat up several outsiders in the middle, but actually these have nothing to do with Lao Yu. What does someone else's life or death have to do with me? As long as Xiaoyue doesn't encounter any accidents, it's fine. And letting Xiaoyue see some of these scenes is also good. Some things will eventually be faced, and the earlier you accept them, the earlier you can grow up. After all, this world is still very cruel.
It can be said that everything now is within Lao Yu's expectations, except for the fact that a little fatty named Wu Ye Yu actually dared to put his arm around Xi Yue's waist and touch her head. Even Lao Yu had to admit that there was an instant urge to go over and beat up the little brat, although he looked like he was only about ten years old. However, in order to give Little Luo Li a bit of tempering...
Wu Ye Yu rummaged through the system, browsing through all sorts of interesting gadgets that she could think of for a while, but these things were either too expensive or too useless. Things like roasted sweet potatoes and fried cicadas were really not presentable. Finally, she thought of something new and fresh - things that didn't exist in this world. These things were actually quite easy to find, and the most ordinary ones were naturally non-electronic products.
So I simply exchanged it for a large-screen ultra-thin mobile phone, which comes with a communication card. Although there is no signal in this world, the two mobile phones can only communicate within 10 kilometers, and beyond that distance, they cannot be used. The mobile phone's built-in signal is not strong enough, but just because it can't now doesn't mean it won't be able to in the future... after all, there are communication satellites for sale in the system... it's just too expensive, Wu Yeyu can't afford it now, let's talk about it later.
Comes with 80T storage space, can a genuine product have water goods? Moreover, this is just a relatively cheap one, only 500 energy points, if it's more expensive I won't be able to afford it. It's shockproof, waterproof, scratch-resistant, and most importantly, it's solar-powered, no need to charge. The colors are vibrant, can take pictures, listen to music, record audio, shoot videos, etc. If this were taken to the previous world, at least it would be ahead of Earth's technology for many years.
"Hey, I'm giving this to you, consider it my apology for being wrong. Don't cry anymore, okay? This thing is very valuable!" Wu Yeru said with a smug face as he handed the newly exchanged phone in front of Little Loli and pressed the power button.
The melodious startup ringtone sounded, and the little loli's gaze was immediately drawn over. She saw Wen Xiyue put down her hands, her eyes already red and swollen from crying, her small nose still twitching uncontrollably, and her face covered in tear stains. Her hair was a bit disheveled, making her look somewhat bedraggled. However, she was quickly captivated by the colorful thing in front of her. The overall shell was white, with a glowing screen displaying several small flowers floating from afar, arranged in a row of bright colors, finally forming a strange and beautiful logo. Although it looked a bit weird, it was very pretty. In an instant, it captured Little Loli's attention. Old Yu, who was far away, also felt curious - what kind of thing is this? Is it something that sucks out people's souls? But it looks really good...
Wu Yeru smiled with satisfaction, "Hehe, this is a mobile phone, it can be used for communication. As long as the other person also has one, you can talk to each other within 10 kilometers. Of course, if satellites are launched in the future, no matter how far apart you are, you can still communicate through this thing. And it also has a camera function, that is to say..."
Half an hour later, I finally managed to successfully demonstrate the functions of my mobile phone to little loli. Little loli also learned very quickly and surprisingly mastered it after just one demonstration. Indeed, she has a natural talent for learning anything quickly. When I was about to leave, I told her that this is my family heirloom, don't let others see it easily, and don't lose it, otherwise there's no place to buy another one. Then I also exchanged one, added little loli's contact number, finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling refreshed and clear-headed as I stepped out of the house and headed towards the outskirts of the city.
The little loli herself was completely absorbed in her new toy, taking selfies with her phone and making various faces and poses. Meanwhile, Wu Si and his two servants had long forgotten about their surroundings, and Old Yu, who had been introduced to the phone by Wu Ye over half an hour ago, had developed an interest in it. He felt like a cat scratching inside him, wishing he could get one too, but he couldn't bring himself to ask someone younger for one, let alone take Little Loli's thing. So he just licked his lips and put the thought aside.
