Chapter 25: DLC Content
Jia Hao was stunned when he heard Su Xing’er. ” Wh-What did you say? I… I couldn’t hear that properly. Can you…”
” Jia Hao…Do not…push your luck.” Su Xing’er glared at Jia Hao as she showed him her fist.
” Well, At least…Call me Brother Jia from now.” Jia Hao grinned.
” Hmph, You can dream on.” Su Xing’er snorted. ” Also, Can you just stop flaunting your abs?”
” Why?” Jia Hao chuckled. ” Are you falling for me?”
” What a load of crap.” Su Xing’er rolled her eyes as she looked at the sky. ” Let’s go, we have to return. Aren’t you going to school?”
” Well, Purple Cloud Academy doesn’t care about the attendance too much, does it?” Jia Hao shrugged.
” Well, That only applies to extraordinary students. Su Xing’er chuckled. ” Are you one of them though?”
” Not now.” Jia Hao looked at Su Xing’er. ” But I will be one of them soon.”
” Anyway, Let’s go back. it’s already time and Mom probably finished making breakfast.” Su Xing’er spoke.
Jia Hao nodded as he followed Su Xing’er back to the villa. As they returned, Su Xing’er’s eyes widened when she saw sour and spicy congee, fried veggies with saucy noodles, and bacon strips, the aroma of the breakfast made their stomach grumble.
” Whoaa! Mum, What’s with such a delicious breakfast today?” Su Xing’er spoke as she sat on the table.
” Xing’er, Go and wash your hands first.” Su Lan looked at Su Xing’er.
” Ugh, Big Sister, since when did you become nagging like mom?” Su Xing’er pouted. Jia Hao washed his hands as he took his heat.
” Well, Sister Lan isn’t saying anything bad though. It’s just you who are being unruly.” Jia Hao tapped on the table.
” Aggh! Fine, I will be right back!” Su Xing’er got up, but turned around and looked at them. ” Do NOT start eating without me.”
” Well, I guess everyone has arrived.” Su Yuqing placed a bowl of custard on the table and seated. ” Huh, Xing’er, Hao’er, Did you went outside for exercise?”
” Yes, Aunt Su.” Jia Hao nodded. ” I was feeling a bit stuffy. But it’s good that Xing’er kept me company.”
” Good! I can see the improvement!” Su Yunqi smiled. Su Lan looked at her as she spoke. ” Mom, What’s the good news you wanted to share with us?”
” Well, First of all, It’s our family’s first breakfast after Jia Hao joined us. So, I had to do something for your new brother, right?” Su Yunqi winked.
” But, there is another thing. I went to the Jade Auction with Jia Hao last night. And guess what? We got a Green Glass Royal Jade!”
” Combining with the other jade pieces we received, we made a profit of 50 Million in a single night!”
” And it’s all thanks to Hao’er.”
Su Lan and Su Xing’er looked at Jia Hao with surprise. ” Really? That’s why you went with mom?”
” Jia Hao, Since when you had the ability to appraise jade stones?” Su Lan became curious. ” Can you teach me?”
” Huh? No way someone like his got such ability.” Su Xing’er retorted. ” I mean, I heard only old geezers at the end of their life appraise stuff like that.”
” Well, Will you believe me if I say I have Yin Yang Eyes?” Jia Hao spoke in a serious voice.
” Hmm, Really?” Su Lan became interested.
” Nope, Not at all.” Su Xing’er spoke.
” I believe.”
Su Yunqi looked at Jia Hao with utter fondness and affection. ” The way you handled the things there, I believe in you, Hao’er.”
” Hmm, Strange… Is it because I haven’t seen you yesterday properly or…” Su Yunqi’s finger traced on Jia Hao’s cheeks, making him shiver a bit.
” You look much more mature and handsome, Hao’er. And, a little more buffed than usual.” Su Yunqi smiled.
” Wait, I know that, right?” Su Xing’er also blurted out. ” I thought I was taller than Jia Hao. But this morning, He is two inches higher than me!”
” I guess you all just got confused.” Jia Hao slurped the congee as he spoke.
” You know, There is a thing called the Mandela Effect? A lot of things that appear to be right and perfect are actually not right. It’s just a little trick of the brain, nothing more.”
” Is that so?” Everyone looked at Jia Hao.
Su Xing’er finished her breakfast and got up. ” Alright, I am leaving for the school. Big Sis, Brother Hao, Are you coming?”
” Hao’er, You can stay at home till you feel you are ready to go out.”
Su Yunqi sighed as she felt Jia Hao might still not be ready to face the school after his parents’ death.
” Err…I guess I won’t go today.” Jia Hao pondered as he nodded. ” I will go from tomorrow.”
” Very well. I am also not going today. Because I have to attend my musical rehearsals.” Su Lan spoke. ” You know, I have the show to attend three days later.”
‘ Oh yeah, How did I forget?’ Jia Hao’s memory was sharper now as he remembered all the details of Su Lan’s characteristics.
Unlike hyperactive Su Xing’er, Su Lan is more reserved. Not only did she excel in academics, she also had talent in music and singing. Inheriting the charming and merciful nature of her mother, she really gave the vibe of a kind big titty onee san.
‘ However, I believe something will definitely happen during the show day. Hmm, Thankfully, I possess enough strength for now.’ Jia Hao thought inwardly as he got up.
” Aunt Su, I wonder if the problem you were facing earlier is now gone?” Jia Hao asked tactfully. After all, he knew Li Tao used this opportunity to blackmail Su Yunqi, breaking her thoroughly.
But since Jia Hao is here, there is no way he would let go of that bastard.
” En, You are right. I urgently needed some cash. But guess what? You solved the problem.” Su Yunqi smiled brightly.
” Aunt Su, You still have to be careful.”
Jia Hao thought that it would be still good to remind Su Yunqi about Li Tao. However, he can’t be too direct as it would raise suspicions.
” What do you mean, Hao’er?” Su Yunqi was a bit confused.
” Well, What I am saying is… I think someone is trying to target you, Aunt Su. Like, You know…Someone trying to entrap you and blackmail you.”
” Like…Take the example of that man who was standing outside our mansion that day. What’s his name…”
” Li Tao…” Su Yunqi mumbled as she fell into a deep thought. ” But, Why would he…”
” No, He could.” Su Yunqi pinched her dress as her smile returned. ” Hao’er, You already helped me too much. Now, I shall take care of it, alright?”
” Yes, Aunt Su. I have faith in you.” Jia Hao nodded.
After breakfast, Jia Hao dressed up and walked outside. After all, he can’t just stay in the house all the time.
It’s Tianshu World, the world of Urban Fantasy which he dedicated years in one reincarnation. There are a lot of places he wishes to visit and a lot of girls…Cough, a lot of people he wishes to meet.
‘ Not to mention, if this is the game world, I might also find the stuffs of paid DLC.’ Jia Hao thought inwardly.
Jia Hao purchased the highest subscription to Urban Fantasy, so he could get additional help in the game thanks to it. As it was completely AI powered game, the possibilities were vast, but grinding the game can be too boring without some extra help.
Not to mention, such paid DLC content is very important if someone wants to directly affect the flow of the plot.
” Hmm, First should be…The old bookstore.”
