Miss Black Cat jumped onto the cat climbing frame, scratched her head with her paws, and lay down to sleep like an ordinary cat. If you listen carefully, you can still detect subtle snores.

Shen Bai ignored this guy who was pretending to be a cat and took the people to the living room and poured them a few glasses of water.

"I'm sorry...there's really nothing we can entertain you at home."

"It's okay, it's okay." The middle-aged man was the first to speak. He stretched out his hand and lowered his body slightly:

"Classmate Shen, please introduce yourself. Xu Jingdong, like the brothers around me, is a member of our Lantian Street Mutual Aid Association."

"I came here specifically to express my condolences to you...Classmate Shen, you have a pair of particularly great adoptive parents."

"These are high-quality rice, daily necessities, etc. They are not expensive, but they are also the feelings of the neighbors. Please accept them."

Shen Bai held the man's hand and thanked him profusely, but when his palms touched, he felt that the palm of the man opposite was like the bark of an old tree, thick and rough, a bit abrasive.

However, he didn't care. In this era coveted by the old world, even if you are not a cultivator, it is not too difficult for the vitality index to reach 5.0. Most of them can practice one or two combat skills for self-defense.

It has become a trend for all people to practice martial arts.

Shen Bai's thoughts were changing quickly, but he was not rude on the surface. He chatted with the people from the street mutual aid association, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Classmate Shen, what do you think of our Lantian Street Mutual Aid Association?" the middle-aged man suddenly asked, seemingly unintentionally, but his eyes were fixed on Shen Bai.

Shen Bai laughed loudly and said beautiful words:

"Although the government will provide subsidies to needy residents, I heard that our street cooperatives often bring daily necessities to these people. There are not many such helpful groups these days. I have admired you since I was a child."

The middle-aged man curled his lips secretly. Since childhood? Come on, the Lantian Street Mutual Aid Association has been established for less than three years!

However, he was very satisfied with Shen Bai being so "advanced" and struck the iron mark while it was hot:

"Yes, Classmate Shen, our cooperative association takes helping poor neighbors as its mission. The starting point of everything we do is for the good of everyone." He looked around and sighed:

"Classmate Shen, your adoptive parents have been added as [Warriors] by the Lanhai City Government. As their only legal heir, you enjoy special allowances... If I remember correctly, it's two thousand yuan per month, right? "

"Two thousand yuan is quite a lot. The average salary of a normal adult labor force is only 2,500 yuan."

"But Mr. Shen, have you ever thought that this money can support you through high school and it will not be difficult for you to graduate from college, but what happens after that?"

"You are a boy. You will get married and buy a house in the future. How can you get such a large amount of money without your parents?"

"And take the college entrance examination, choose a decent engineering major, and after graduation, live your life step by step as an ordinary person... Is this what you want?"

The middle-aged man sighed, seeming to be worried about Shen Bai's situation:

"In this era, among students of your age, who doesn't have the ideal of becoming a warrior and sweeping across the old lands? But cultivation... costs money!"

"The purple star beast cultivated by Hercules Company is already the most affordable meat beast, but it still costs eighty yuan per pound. How many times can you eat it a month? Other people's children even have high-energy nutritional supplements. Physical fitness, and some people spend a lot of money to practice super powerful fighting skills, these all cost money."

"Did you know that according to the latest government statistics, a high school student spends 15,000 yuan per month! This is far more than the income of his or her family!"

"But most parents are still gritting their teeth and even borrowing money to support their children! All the sacrifices are just for [Crazy October]!"

"Classmate Shen..."

"Uncle Xu." Shen Bai suddenly spoke up and said with a smile:

"Although you and I met on the first day, I always feel that we are very close to each other. You are like my uncle... Just say what you have to say, and I will listen."

The middle-aged man surnamed Xu was slightly stunned, feeling that the handsome young man opposite was a little out of character, but he still adjusted his expression and said seriously:

"Living in this world, you have to spend money everywhere. Classmate Shen, there is a big shot who wants to give you a fortune... As long as you nod..." He lowered his voice and stretched out five fingers:

"Five million! As long as you nod, the five million will be transferred to your personal account tonight. No one can find out the source. You can do whatever you want with the money!"

"Five million. In the center of our Blue Ocean City, you can get the best real estate and the best apartment layout in full. With the remaining money, you can buy combat skills and high-energy liquid..."

"You can have the money and future that other people can earn through a lifetime of hard work, tonight."

"As long as... you do what it says here."

The middle-aged man took out an envelope from his arms, Shen Bai took it, rubbed it a few times, opened it and read the text inside.

He read it very carefully and missed nothing. After about five minutes, Shen Bai took a deep breath and stuffed the letter back.

"So, if I follow the instructions in this letter, my adoptive parents will be ruined overnight and lose their status as [warriors]?"

"Classmate Shen, there is an old saying that money is something external to the body. If you don't take it with you in life, you won't take it with you in death. In my opinion, the same is true for reputation. People are already gone. Do they still care about their reputation after death? ?”

"But...it's about a person who won the Medal of Valor. If the verdict is overturned, aren't you afraid that the government and the military will notice it?"

"Ah, Classmate Shen...not to mention the entire federation, our Lanhai City alone will award hundreds of dead or living people the title of [Warrior] every year, right? This is a big deal for you, but in fact, in the eyes of those who are truly capable, Come on, it's just like drizzle, it won't cause any trouble."

"But……"

"Classmate Shen!" The middle-aged man held Shen Bai's hand again and said word by word:

"This matter has been all arranged. All that is left is your nod. All that is left is you, the only legal heir, to "break the news." Again, as long as you nod, the money is yours and the bright future is also yours. !”

"But..." Shen Bai rubbed his hair and said softly:

"But, they are my parents."

The middle-aged man's smile slowly disappeared:

"Classmate Shen, you also know that they are your adoptive parents. According to our investigation, they adopted you only three years ago."

"So?" Shen Bai raised his head suddenly:

"Are my adoptive parents no longer my parents? Is this why I behave like an animal?"

"That's not what I meant, Mr. Shen. If you get this money and live happily, wouldn't you also satisfy the wishes of the old couple..."

Shen Bai shook his head and looked at the ceiling in a daze:

"If I promise you, my life from now on will not be worthy of [happiness]."

"You go ahead and take the things away without giving them away..."
