Chapter 26 My brother moved bricks for me to study (Big Fog)
[Congratulations on completing the mission: avoiding being caught as a murderer.]
…
Xu Shuo opened his eyes again and stood in the kitchen, holding a kitchen knife in his hand.
He looked around and determined that this was his kitchen, so he opened the lid of the pot next to it and took a look.
The water inside was not dry yet, but the ribs seemed to have been steamed. Xu Shuo sprinkled the chopped green onion on the chopping board, and then took the bowl out and placed it on the dining table.
Xu Shuo took a look at the clock hanging on the wall. It was past half past twelve, which didn't seem to be much different from the time when he entered the game.
Speaking of which, there is still a question whether he suddenly fell into a trance during the game just now.
While thinking about this problem, Xu Shuo acted as if nothing had happened. He took the time to cut off the washed carrots, mixed them with chicken, and quickly stir-fried another dish.
About ten minutes later, some old doors of the rental house were opened with a harsh sound, and then there was sparse movement at the entrance, and the sound of walking gradually approached.
"I'm back." A girl wearing a red sports uniform and a low ponytail walked in with an expressionless face.
"You're back just in time. Lunch is already prepared. You should wash your hands first." Xu Shuo was pouring out the kelp soup from the soup cup and bringing it to the dining table. The lunch dishes were just complete.
Xu Xi glanced at the dining table, went back to the room to put away her backpack, and came out quickly. She sat at the dining table with her eyebrows lowered, and the expression on her face looked indifferent.
"The ribs look like they have been steamed for a long time." Xu Xi said without any fluctuation in her tone.
"It makes no difference, anyway, the worse it is, the better." Xu Shuo was cleaning the kitchen. After saying this, he asked: "How many days will you keep it?"
"Three days." Xu Xi picked up the chopsticks placed next to her and tried to pick up a piece of ribs.
"Aren't you busy reviewing lately?"
"I'm back."
Xu Xi took a bite of the ribs and followed Xu Shuo with her eyes, watching him take off his apron, turn around and go back to the room to change into a shirt, then sit on the sofa in the living room and open his laptop.
The girl's eyes were a little strange, and she stared at the young man who seemed to be frowning slightly because he had read bad news for a long time.
Xu Shuo felt that his gaze stayed for too long, so he turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I was just wondering if you had just killed your competitor and dumped his body because of a setback in your business." Xu Xi said calmly.
"...?"
Xu Shuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled speechlessly: "What a mess, you have watched too many TV series, now is a society ruled by law. Remember to wash the dishes after eating."
After saying that, he put on his laptop and stood up. Seeing this, Xu Xi asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"
"I still have something to do at the company. I just came back to cook for you. The matter has not been settled yet." Xu Shuo said as he picked up the laptop placed on the coffee table and walked to the entrance to change his shoes.
"You don't have to do it." Xu Xi whispered, but the sound of closing the door was heard at the entrance.
There was only silence in the two-bedroom rental house. Xu Xi made very little movement while eating. At this time, the mobile phone in her pocket rang, and she took it out to look at it.
It was a text message sent by a friend: [Xixi! Let’s go out and have fun!]
Xu Xi replied with a message: [I just came back.]
[I just guessed that you will definitely come back today, so I decided to go out with you! We haven’t seen each other for a long time. There is a very popular offline game recently. Let’s go and play together!]
game?
Xu Xi paused for a moment, but before replying, another message came from the other side: [I have already made reservations for both places. You cannot cancel the reservation. It’s so expensive~]
Then there was a screenshot sent over.
This is simply killing first and then showing off. Xu Xi opened the screenshot and looked at it. The name of the store was Escape Room, but the project reserved by his friend was actually a game called Script Killing.
Since she had already made an appointment, it was okay to go and have fun, and she was not in a hurry to review the textbooks.
Xu Xi is a senior in high school this year, and the college entrance examination will be in one month. Originally, the school did not encourage senior high school students to take a break at this time. After all, the college entrance examination is right around the corner. Even if they have a vacation, they should seize the time to review in school.
But Xu Xi came back anyway, and even the head teacher couldn't stop him.
Her friend and she were not in the same school. Xu Xi got acquainted with her in compulsory education in junior high school.
It was not a very good middle school, but Xu Xi was admitted to a very good high school, but the tuition was a bit expensive.
But at that time, Xu Shuo said, "You can't be careless in high school," so he gave up college and entered the society early, intending to help Xu Xi earn a lot of expenses for a key high school.
Although she also said that you can go to any high school.
However, Xu Shuo said: "Even if a boy does not have enough diplomas, he can still put in labor to move bricks. Can you move them?"
Xu Xi: "I can do that too."
So she actually went to the construction site to move bricks for two months during the summer vacation. As a result, she was sent to high school after school started, so she somehow managed to save some pocket money for herself.
After three years, the college entrance examination is approaching, and Xu Xi has already chosen a university for herself.
With your current grades, you can get in without reviewing.
After lunch, she washed the dishes, changed into regular clothes, and went out for the appointment. At the same time, she also checked how to play the game on her mobile phone.
Because of Xu Shuo, Xu Xi has played many games, but this is his first time playing an offline game like script killing.
…
In the bustling city, there are many high-rise buildings.
Xu Shuo took the elevator from the underground garage to the 23rd floor. The aisles here are criss-crossed and lined with many small studios. The game studio he founded with his friends a year ago is also crowded among them.
"Boss, you are here!"
As soon as Xu Shuo walked into the studio, a voice called over. He turned around and saw Pei Sheng running over with an angry look on his face.
There are not many people in the studio, and with Xu Shuo included, the entrepreneurial team only has six people, all of whom went to high school with Xu Shuo.
The reason why this group of people could still have money to start a business was because Xu Shuo robbed the wealthy young man in front of him, Pei Sheng, and then added him to the team in the name of "Liu Liu Da Shun".
It was a true robbery in the "real sense".
Pei Sheng took a picture of the contract in front of him and said angrily: "That damn boss Wang said that if we don't sell the game to him, he will make a pirated version of our game to grab traffic! Boss, what do you mean?
Isn’t this arrogant?!”
Xu Shuo nodded: "Quite arrogant."
To be honest, most of the games on the market now are me copying yours and you copying mine.
Compared with other employees who were already accustomed to this routine, Pei Sheng, a rich man, couldn't swallow this breath, not to mention that the other party was arrogant directly in front of him.
"That old guy dares to threaten us, boss, why don't we kill him!" Then Pei Sheng showed a fierce expression.
"What are you thinking about? This is a society governed by law." After Xu Shuo read the acquisition contract, he stuck the paper in his face.
Pei Sheng took the paper away, and his expression that was extremely angry just now suddenly turned into a smile: "I just said to kill his pirated games. Boss, what do you think?"
