Hope Coffee House Chapter 72: The dust settles
In the two days after Gu Dong's death, Wu Liang successfully helped the police and obtained the confession and evidence that Awei's second wife killed her husband.
On the third day of Gu Donglin's death, Wu Liang attended Gu Donglin's memorial service.
Gu Donglin's mother was very sad, and even resented her daughter-in-law who quarreled with her son and caused her son to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. She kept saying some ugly things to Shan Ziling with red eyes.
Shan Ziling behaved very low-key and calm, and she ignored Gu Donglin's mother's faults and abuse as if she couldn't hear it.
Wu Liang knew that this was because Shan Ziling didn't care. She came to Gu Donglin's memorial service today, nothing more than a passing scene, not to mention that she was broken to the core, and the culprit that killed Gu Donglin was her Shan. Zi Ling, Gu Donglin's mother scolded nothing wrong.
But in the eyes of others who came to attend the memorial service, Gu Donglin's mother looked like a complete evil mother-in-law. At his son's memorial service, in front of everyone, he spoke so ill to his daughter-in-law and kept finding faults. God knows what she did on weekdays.
As a result, everyone looked at Shan Ziling with a little more sympathy, and looked at Gu Donglin's mother with more or less disgust.
The joys and sorrows of human beings are never the same. No one wants to understand the feelings of an old mother who has just lost her son.
After the memorial service, Wu Liang handed Gu Donglin's mother a bank card and asked her to keep it for retirement.
Gu Donglin's mother was a little puzzled. Wu Liang told her that he and Gu Donglin were friends. Now that Gu Donglin is gone, he has the responsibility to help him take care of his mother. The password and her phone number are written on the back of the card. If the old lady needs help in the future, she can contact herself at any time.
Gu Donglin's mother refused, but finally accepted the bank card given by Wu Liang. She lost her son in her later years, and having some pension money on hand can indeed give people a sense of security.
The card contained 400,000 yuan, which Wu Liang had just saved yesterday.
After helping the police solve the case of Awei's death yesterday, Wu Liang checked the number of his hope coins, and there were 4,193 more.
Wu Liang simply exchanged 4,000 hope coins for 400,000 cash, and went to the bank to deposit a new bank card, ready to give to Gu Donglin's mother as pension money.
As for how to complete the next task with only 193 hope coins left, Wu Liang didn't think about it at all, he just wanted to do the things in front of him first.
In this way, you can feel at ease.
After leaving the funeral home, Wu Liang returned to Hope Cafe with Lu Yun and Wang Zhaozhao.
After the three returned to Hope Cafe, the system prompt sounded in Wu Liang's mind instantly.
"Congratulations to the host for completing this task, the basic task reward has been received, and the task is being graded..."
"Grading complete.
Task difficulty score: 6 points
Host Wu Liang, this task score: 80 points.
Additional rewards: 10,000 hope coins, 1 physical fitness improvement card, 1 martial arts learning card, the rewards have been credited. "
80 points? Got an extra reward?
Wu Liang was both shocked and puzzled. Gu Donglin was killed by Miao Zi, and he couldn't find any evidence of Miao Zi's crime. She made her pay the price for her crimes and used the system in the past. With a nit-picking style, I am afraid that I can't even get a passing score of 60 points. How can I get 80 points? Also got 10,000 Hope Coins and additional rewards for two new cards?
Wu Liang really doesn't understand the system's judging criteria.
Fortunately, the system quickly answered.
"Details of host deductions:
After Gu Donglin's hope value increased to more than 60%, the host focused on investigating the person behind the Li Ze case, ignoring the psychological state of the guest Gu Donglin and the potential threats around him, which led to Gu Donglin's final death, 15 points will be deducted here.
The host failed to detect Li Ze's feelings for Miao Zi in time, which led to Li Ze's early suicide, which completely cut off the possibility of filing a case for Li Yu's suicide. Here, 5 points will be deducted. "
Wu Liang frowned slightly. He could fully understand these two points deduction items in the system, but he couldn't solve Miao Zi, why didn't he mention the system?
Shouldn't this point be deducted? Or has the system already determined that it can't solve Miao Zi?
The system did not answer the question in Wu Liang's mind, but directly gave a message.
"Message from the system: The host is already a person in this world, but emotions have never really been integrated into this world. I hope the host understands that you are not a passer-by who is always absolutely rational and only exchanges life for completing tasks. Every guest, passerby, friend, and enemy is a living person in this world.”
The system's message can be said to hit the nail on the head.
For a long time, Wu Liang regarded himself as a passer-by who was somehow bound by the system, struggling to survive in another world.
Even though he became friends with Chen Wei, even though he had Wang Zhaozhao and Lu Yun as teammates, Wu Liang always looked at a few people with scrutiny.
Rather than saying that the three became Wu Liang's friends, it is better to say that some of the abilities of the three were recognized by Wu Liang, making Wu Liang feel that they were useful.
For example, Chen Wei is proficient in computers and is a master of technology.
For example, Wang Zhaozhao has strong execution ability and careful thinking, and can conscientiously do all the work instructed by Wu Liang.
For example, Lu Yun is extremely strong in combat, and can keenly sense everyone's breath. He is not only a good tracker, but also an excellent bodyguard.
Thinking about it now, in addition to their excellent abilities, the three of them also have their own personalities and traits.
Just like Chen Wei's tolerance and kindness, Wang Zhaozhao's simplicity and justice, Lu Yun's facial paralysis and a single tendon.
Wu Liang suddenly discovered that his friends are also very cute. As the system said, they are not NPCs in the game, they are all real people.
When Wu Liang came back to his senses, he saw Lu Yun standing there, looking at him motionless.
Wang Zhaozhao was scratching his head and scratching his head, as if he was thinking about some kind of problem.
Only then did Wu Liang realize that because of Gu Donglin's death, he was in a very bad state these days, but the matter was settled, Wang Zhaozhao and Lu Yun couldn't help much, and they were very worried. I can only be anxious in secret, but there is nothing I can do.
At this moment, Wu Liang suddenly felt a sense of belonging to this world.
It turns out that I am not a ghost, I have friends.
"I'm fine. Let's rest for a while. Let's have a good meal together at noon. I'll treat you." Wu Liang gave Wang Zhaozhao and Lu Yun a warm smile.
Seeing that Wu Liang was fine, the two returned to their rooms.
After Wu Liang returned to his bedroom, the system prompt sounded again: "You have a new task, please check it in time."
New mission? If there are no new customers, how can new tasks appear?
Wu Liang hurriedly checked his system panel.
[The seventh owner of Hope Cafe]: Wu Liang
[HP]: 60 days without disease or injury + 16 days with lingering
[Task]: Enter the Hot Spring Villa at the invitation of Miao Zi
Mission reward: 30 days without illness and injury
Mission Restriction: The mall will be temporarily closed
[Material]: 1 Time and River Card
1 physical fitness improvement card
1 martial arts learning card
[Hope Coin]: 10193
[Mall]: temporarily sealed
[Team]: (2/2) Wang Zhaozhao Lu Yun
Wu Liang looked at the task bar with a strange expression. This time, if you only need to enter the hot spring villa, will it be completed?
It's just that the front foot of the system gave him 10,000 Hope Coins, and the back foot has sealed his system mall because of this mission. This is too ruthless, isn't it?
Could it be that the system is inviting the three of you to soak in the hot spring at public expense?
It can be imagined that the experience card of Hot Spring Villa was given by Miao Zi, and Wu Liang always felt that things were not that simple.
In broad daylight, if I go to a hot spring by myself, can Miaozi kill himself?
Wu Liang shook his head and went directly to check the two new cards he had obtained as an extra reward.
【Physical Fitness Card】
Price: 10,000 Hope Coins
Action time: one-time props
Effect: Increase the host's physical fitness to 120% of the current level, and it will be permanently effective after the physical fitness is improved
【Martial Arts Learning Card】
Price: 10,000 Hope Coins
Action time: one-time props
Effect: It can improve a martial skill designated by the host by one rank~IndoMTL.com~ Could it be that I was beaten too badly by a strong man in the alley that day, and the system gave me these two cards?
Although I have the blessing of time without illness and injury, I am not afraid of other people's harm, but I can't resist and can only let the enemy press me on the ground and rub it on the ground. The opponent rubs against the ground.
Wu Liang was a little excited, and hurriedly used the physical fitness card first.
At the moment when the physical fitness improvement card was used, Wu Liang's body became hot for a while, and sweat kept leaving his body, which soon soaked all Wu Liang's clothes.
Ten minutes later, the hot feeling finally disappeared, and Wu Liang felt the changes in his body instantly. Although his body shape and muscles did not change at all, Wu Liang was sure that his strength, speed, endurance, coordination, flexibility and Sensitivity has been improved.
Although Wu Liang's physical fitness may still be far inferior to Lu Yun's, or even inferior to many fitness experts, he has at least a little more self-protection ability than in the past.
Wu Liang used the remaining martial arts learning card, thinking about learning Sanda. Sanda is more practical. Even if he is only a beginner, he can greet the enemy a few times.
After using the martial arts learning card, Wu Liang's mind instantly flashed a lot of knowledge about Sanda, and Sanda's movements were imprinted in his body's memory.
With just one martial arts learning card, Wu Liang's Sanda skills have been upgraded to the highest level of the primary rank - 3rd dan.
Before Wu Liang could get excited, there was a knock on the door of the bedroom.
Wu Liang hurriedly opened the door, and Lu Yun was outside the door.
Lu Yun tilted his head and looked at Wu Liang, his eyes seemed puzzled: "Are you stronger again?"
