After dinner, grandpa and grandma sat comfortably on the sofa and drank hot tea to eat.
"We have traveled to so many places across the country and eaten in so many restaurants. When it comes to cooking skills, our Xiaolong is the best." Grandpa smiled and said, "The chefs in those five-star hotels are just that.
"
"Yes!" Grandma agreed: "Xiaolong is the best no matter what he does."
"Yeah." Chen Jun nodded repeatedly: "Brother is the most powerful."
Except for Ma Xiaofeng, everyone else strongly agreed.
"I'm still good at makeup," Ma Xiaofeng said, "My teacher said I was born to do this."
"Yes, our Xiaofeng is also very powerful." Grandma chuckled.
Zhang Chiling smiled and said: "It is said that they hope their children will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes. Both Xiaolong and Xiaofeng have lived up to the expectations of their elders."
Ma Xiaofeng suddenly puffed up her chest.
Grandpa smiled and said: "I didn't expect Xiaofeng to be successful in the past. She has found the right career now. Of course, she can't do without the help Xiaolong gave her."
"Hmm~" Although she was unwilling to give in, Ma Xiaofeng had to admit that she was able to achieve what she has today thanks to Ma Xiaolong's help. It was Ma Xiaolong who helped her choose the best teacher in the capital and even prepared a house for her.
Even if her own talent is good, it is Ma Xiaolong's contribution that really counts.
Ma Xiaolong patted Ma Xiaofeng's head and said with a smile: "My own sister, if I don't help, who will?"
"Brother~" Ma Xiaofeng hugged his arm, feeling very touched: You finally said something human.
"..."
After watching TV with the old man for a while, the young people went upstairs to play.
Ma Xiaofeng distributed the gifts she brought back to everyone.
"Xiaojun, this is yours; Sister Yu, this is yours."
"And mine?" Dai Yu was surprised.
"Of course." Ma Xiaofeng said: "We are comrades facing that little devil Elizabeth together. I will never forget Sister Yu."
Dai Yu chuckled: "What a little devil. Although she has a bit of that, she's not a bad person."
"Hmph! It's her fault to steal a man from my sister-in-law." Ma Xiaofeng gave the gift on the table to Zhu Sha: "Sister-in-law, this is yours."
"Thank you, Xiaofeng." Zhu Sha narrowed her eyes and smiled. Over the years, her relationship with Ma Xiaofeng has been quite close. From the first time they met ten years ago, Ma Xiaofeng has treated her like a biological sister and they have never had any quarrels in the past ten years.
They had fights and bickering, which can be said to have set a good example for the sister-in-law relationship all over the world.
"Can you open it and take a look?" Zhusha asked with a smile.
"Open it! See if you like it?" Ma Xiaofeng's eyes were full of expectation. These gifts were carefully selected by her after careful consideration, but they cost her a lot of thought and energy.
Dai Yu and Zhu Sha also started to open gifts. Ma Xiaolong thought for a while and took out the gift box he got from Ma Xiaofeng at noon and opened it together to take a look.
Opening gifts is a joyful thing. Zhusha opened the gift box first, and inside was a pair of Emei thorns.
"..." Zhusha took out the Emei thorn. It was made of stainless steel, shiny silver, very beautiful, and not sharpened.
Ma Xiaofeng said: "My sister-in-law is a martial arts practitioner. I originally wanted to buy you a beautiful long sword, but the owner of the weapons store heard that I was going to give the girl a weapon, so he recommended that I give you a pair of Emei thorns. They are easy to carry. What a real encounter.
You can always use it to defend yourself when in danger."
Zhusha put the Emei thorn on her middle finger and turned it around. The size was quite suitable. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiaofeng. I like it very much."
"As long as sister-in-law likes it." Ma Xiaofeng smiled happily.
Chen Jun's gift was a flute, while Dai Yu's gift was a hardcover version of "Dream of Red Mansions". Both girls liked it very much and made Ma Xiaofeng smile.
A big hand suddenly pressed on her head. Ma Xiaolong's face was gloomy. He held the thing in his hand and said sullenly: "Ma Xiaofeng, please explain to me, what does this mean?"
The three girls all looked at what Ma Xiaolong was holding. They were all a little confused when they saw it. The package looked like a cigarette box, with many small English words printed on it. When Ma Xiaolong held it in his hand, he didn't know what it was written on.
"Xiaolong, what's wrong?" Dai Yu asked, "Is there anything wrong with this gift?"
"..."
Ma Xiaolong just didn't know how to explain it, but Ma Xiaofeng took the initiative: "Yes, I bought this condom after shopping around. The boss said it is very thin. When you put it on, it will feel like you are not wearing it. I chose it for the happiness of you and your sister-in-law."
Yes, what are you dissatisfied with?"
"..." The three girls were stunned for a moment, and immediately exclaimed after reacting. Dai Yu and Chen Jun's faces turned red instantly, and Zhu Sha also looked dumbfounded: "Xiao Feng, you..."
She really didn't know what to say.
"Sister-in-law, I'm doing this for your own good. You're still in school! It would be bad if you accidentally get pregnant with the baby," Ma Xiaofeng said.
"..." Zhu Sha sighed: "Xiao Feng, I think I haven't told you yet. Your brother has practiced a kind of kung fu that can control whether or not he will have children. This thing you bought... is useless."
"Ah!?" Ma Xiaofeng turned to look at Ma Xiaolong, who had a gloomy face, and said, "You still have this kind of skill? Why didn't I know?"
Do you want to know?
Ma Xiaolong showed a cruel smile and roared: "Death to Ma Xiaofeng!"
"Ah~ouch~!"
…
"Ugh~ Brother Smelly, I hate you so much." Ma Xiaofeng, who had a swollen butt, was lying on the bed sleeping. She wet the pillow with her crying, which also made Zhu Sha, who was sleeping with her, dumbfounded: "Okay! I've already applied medicine to you.
, just take a nap and you’ll be fine.”
"But it hurts so much!" Ma Xiaofeng wiped her tears and said, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you stop when my brother hit me?"
"You look up to your sister-in-law." Zhu Sha said helplessly: "Your brother wants to beat you, but I can't stop him. Besides, the gifts you gave us are all like that, why did you just buy them for him... You want me to see
, you deserve to be beaten."
"Woo~ I did it all for your own good, sister-in-law, but you still blame me. I'm so wronged." Ma Xiaofeng cried again.
"Okay, it's my sister-in-law who's wrong. Can she apologize to you?" Zhusha patted her back with a funny look on her face and said, "But did you buy this thing yourself?"
"My bodyguard bought it." Ma Xiaofeng sniffed and said, "I also asked them what advice they gave me."
"..." It's no wonder. After all, they are two 'majestic' women. They must have experienced hundreds of battles and have rich experience, and the advice they give must be very 'professional'.
Hmm~ Although it doesn't work, it seems that I haven't tried it before. I might try it later.
Thinking of this, Zhu Sha blushed and said, "Stop crying and sleep well!"
"Yes." Ma Xiaofeng wiped her tears and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine. You go and stay with Sister Yu!"
"Is it really okay?"
"It's really okay." Ma Xiaofeng said, "Anyway, you're right next to me. I'll call you if anything happens."
"Haha, okay then!" Zhu Sha got off the bed, covered Ma Xiaofeng with the quilt, and said, "Go to sleep! Call me if you need anything."
"Um."
Coming out of Ma Xiaofeng's house and walking into Ma Xiaolong's house, Dai Yu was sitting on the bedside, turning on the lamp, reading the hardcover version of "A Dream of Red Mansions".
Seeing Zhu Sha come in, he asked, "Why are you here?"
"Xiaofeng's side is fine, so I'm coming over." Zhusha walked to the bed and sat down, smiling: "I can't bear to let you stay alone in the empty room."
"Why are you guarding an empty room alone?" Dai Yu blushed and said, "How about I go to the study to sleep and let Xiaolong come back to take care of you?"
"No need." Zhusha threw her down and said with a smile: "We haven't enjoyed it for a long time. Let me make you comfortable tonight."
Dai Yu breathed a little quickly and whispered: "Xiao Feng will hear it."
"Don't worry, it'll be fine if you don't shout too loudly." Zhusha said, "Although there is only a partition, the soundproofing effect is quite good."
"Hmm~ Well..."
…
In the early morning, in the study, Ma Xiaolong lay on the sofa and slept for two hours. He woke up full of energy, then sat in front of the computer and started his routine work.
This year's work summary reports have been sent over, and he has approved them one by one.
In the past year, his wealth has tripled. Now he has hundreds of billions of money. He is thinking about how to spend the money. It is certain that he will spend a sum of money to purchase various grains from abroad. Last year, he made a fortune
Fortunately, the total domestic grain production is not low due to the flood. On the contrary, grain production will continue to decline in the next few years starting from this year.
Ma Xiaolong didn't care about this. He had previously asked Lingling Zhu to help him purchase a large amount of grain abroad and continuously transported it to the country. All of this grain was donated. In addition to the people affected by the disaster last year, there were also many domestic
People in poverty-stricken areas have received food donations.
This matter was handled by the charity foundation founded by Chu Lingling, so it was Chu Lingling who was in the limelight, and it had no impact on him. However, after all, there were a few people who knew the truth, but no one would talk nonsense.
For him now, money has no meaning. The biggest motivation now is to make the country strong and the people rich. Only in this way can he be reborn in vain.
With the help of the system, he is full of confidence in the future. What worries him more now is the placement of arts and science classes in a few months.
Although he has always said that he would choose liberal arts, in terms of skill selection, science is more likely to produce better skills, so he has been a bit wavering recently. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but have a communication with the system.
.
"Which one is better, liberal arts skills or science skills?"
[There is no absolute better, it all depends on the host’s outlook for the future.]
"What if I want to live forever?"
[If you want to see for a long time, you can already do it with the skills that the host currently possesses. 】
"Can it be done!?" Ma Xiaolong was surprised and happy, and quickly asked: "Why don't I feel it?"
[Relevant skills will not appear until they reach full level.]
I see!
Ma Xiaolong brought up the attribute panel and looked at the skill bar. There were only a few full-level skills, and most of them were basically between lv2 and lv3. For him at present, these levels of skills were enough, but he didn't expect these.
After the skill is upgraded to the full level, he will be able to see forever. He really doesn't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because he is in this mountain.
Now that the problem of longevity has been solved, choosing liberal arts or science is no longer a problem.
Out of curiosity, he still asked: "Do you recommend me to choose liberal arts or science?"
[The system recommends that the host choose liberal arts.]
liberal arts?
Ma Xiaolong was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
[Choose liberal arts to allow the host’s upper limit of charm to exceed 10 points and the upper limit of intelligence to be reduced by 10 points.]
Ma Xiaolong was stunned again: "Will the division of liberal arts and science also affect the basic attributes?"
【Yes.】
"What if I choose science?"
[The upper limit of charm is reduced by 10 points, and the upper limit of intelligence is increased by 10 points.]
"..." Ma Xiaolong thought for a while: "What does it mean to lower the upper limit of charm by 10 points?"
[Under normal conditions, the upper limit of charm points is 20 points. Once the host chooses science, the upper limit of charm points will reach 10 points, and it is permanent. ]
"..." Cold sweat broke out on Ma Xiaolong's forehead: "In other words, once I choose science, my charm value will never exceed 10 points?"
[Yes, and the probability of going bald by the age of 30 increases by 80%.]
"..."
Ma Xiaolong was sweating profusely. Fortunately, he asked in advance. Otherwise, if he had chosen the science class when the arts and science classes were divided, he would have been a mess.
Wiping away the cold sweat, he asked: "What is the upper limit of intelligence?"
[The upper limit of human intelligence is 100 points. As long as the host’s physical strength and perseverance values match the intelligence value, there will be no mental load. 】
"That's good." Ma Xiaolong nodded.
The upper limit of intelligence is 100 points. Even if it drops by 10 points, it still has an upper limit of 90. It is completely sufficient. No, it can even be said to be overloaded. Even with his current intelligence level of 50, he is already very evil. Even if he never improves, it will be fine.
Guarantee that he will become the number one monster in the world, unparalleled.
But if the upper limit of charm is only 10 points, considering Zhusha’s 19-point face, it will definitely cause huge psychological pressure on himself. Maybe Zhusha will not care that he has become ugly, but the real difficulty is at the age of 30.
Increase the probability of baldness by 80%, which almost guarantees 100% baldness. After all, look at those science programmers, how many of them are not bald when they are thirty years old?
Of course, there are also bald people who study literature, but the baldness of people who study literature basically occurs after they get older, and hair volume in their thirties and forties is generally not a problem.
If he has not enjoyed the aura brought to him by 20 points of charm, he will not care that his upper limit of charm is only 10 points, but charm is not only about appearance, but also about body, posture, temperament, etc. He has already tasted the little fresh meat.
If you suddenly become a bald man, who can bear it?
Anyway, Ma Xiaolong couldn't stand it.
Fortunately, fortunately!
"What will happen if the charm value reaches 30 points?"
This question made Ma Xiaolong a little puzzled. After all, his current charm value of 20 was already perfect. He really couldn't imagine what a charm value of 30 would make him become.
Wouldn't he be atavistic? Then he would rather not add charm points.
[30 charm value will make the host's skin permanently dry and oily, always fresh, the figure will be more perfect, the temperament will be more charming, the body fragrance will make men feel good, and make women want to get close to them. Standing in front of them, they will
There is an effect like turning on the beauty filter.】
"..."
Ma Xiaolong grinned silently.
Now that things have happened, what is there to hesitate about?
Arts and sciences are divided into classes, and liberal arts classes are a must!
