650 Only Food and Love Will Not Disappoint
In order to prevent He Yuanyuan from spouting more nonsense, Ji Qingyan pulled her back into the room.1
Lin Yi turned around and walked into the guest room.
After dinner that night, Wang Dongdong hid in his room and did not come out.
Lin Yi could understand this kind of behavior. Losing your only family member was emotionally difficult for anyone to accept. He still needed some time to get used to it.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt that he was quite lucky.
His parents passed without him ever knowing them.
When he died, he had to give the King of Hell some advice.
If someone was going to become an orphan in the future, then it was better to take their family away as soon as possible.
“Big Brother…”
When he saw Lin Yi, Wang Dongdong said quietly, “Am I disturbing you guys? I’ll go back tomorrow.”
“I have so many rooms at home. It’s no trouble at all,” Lin Yi said.
“But your sister and I have our own things to take care of. In the future, you can live with my mother.”
“I can’t cause trouble for others. I can live by picking up bottles.”
Lin Yi patted Wang Dongdong’s head. “It’s not what you think. She’s not my biological mother. She’s my adoptive mother.”
“Adoptive mother?”
“I’m an orphan too.” Lin Yi smiled.
“I grew up in an orphanage. In terms of background, I’m a little worse off than you. I don’t even know who my parents are or who I am related to by blood. Don’t you think it’s f*cked up?”
“Big Brother, you are an orphan too? But I think you’re very powerful.”
“That’s the truth. If you want to become a powerful person, you have to become an orphan in advance,” Lin Yi said, “Our parents are busy worshipping the heavens, who’s powers are boundless.”
“R-really?”
“Of course.” Lin Yi said.
“Look at online novels. Which male lead is ever healthy? If his parents are alive, they’re basically villains.”
“I’ve never read online novels, but I feel like what Big Brother is saying is reasonable.”
“Not bad, not bad. Since you can understand this, it means that you have successfully taken the first step.”
“Big Brother, if I live with Aunty, will I have a chance to go to school?”
“Of course.” Lin Yi said, “I’m the one who provides for the children in the academy. They live a good life and also study. The only drawback is that they’ll be beaten if they don’t study hard.”
“Then I’ll study hard.”
“Not bad, not bad.” Lin Yi patted Wang Dongdong’s shoulder. “You already have the innate advantage of having lost your parents. As long as you study hard, you’ll definitely be more impressive than me in the future.”
“Got it, Big Brother.”
“Alright, go to bed early today. We still have work to do tomorrow.”
“Uh-huh.”
The next morning, He Yuanyuan woke up early and knocked on Lin Yi’s door.
“What are you knocking for? What time is it?”
There were only a few people in the house. It was impossible that Ji Qingyan would knock on his door, let alone Wang Dongdong.
Other than He Yuanyuan, there was no one else who would do this.
She was the only one who had the guts.
“Boss, I want to eat your egg fried rice. Get up and make some for me.”
“Do you have a f*cking conscience?” Lin Yi scolded.
“You want me to cook for you with my salary?”
“I’m your employee. I created every penny you can spend. What’s wrong with me asking you to cook for me?”
Lin Yi was speechless.
“Awesome, you’re really a freaking logical genius.”
Getting up from the bed, Lin Yi went to the kitchen and made a few simple dishes.
It wasn’t specifically for Yuanyuan, but rather that he had other things to do today. It was time to get up anyway.
At the dining table, Ji Qingyan and He Yuanyuan were relieved to see Wang Dongdong gulping down food.
He seemed to be much better.
After dinner, Lin Yi drove the old lady’s ashes to the cemetery.
This was the final step to be completed.
He Yuanyuan placed a bouquet of lilies in front of the tombstone to symbolize her sorrow.
Ji Qingyan took a few steps forward. Unexpectedly, she placed the lollipop that Wang Dongdong had given her the first time in front of the tombstone.
After receiving the lollipop, Ji Qingyan felt that it was very memorable, so she could not bear to eat it and instead kept it.
She had wanted to keep it for memories, but she did not expect such a thing to happen.
In the end, she felt that it was more suitable to leave it here.
“Madam, don’t worry. We’ll take good care of Dongdong for you,” Ji Qingyan whispered.
“In the future, he will always be sweet like this lollipop.”
Lin Yi smiled at Ji Qingyan. She was always so sentimental and kind.
In the next second, Lin Yi’s expression froze.
Because the system notification sounded in his mind.
[Only food and love will not let you down. Special mission completed. Reward: 400,000 proficiency points.]
[Mission Completion: 100%. Reward: Refined Essence (Food).]
‘Have I just received a reward?’
Lin Yi had never thought that the reward would come at this time.
Moreover, it was the ultimate reward of 400,000 proficiency points!
‘What do you mean by refined essence?’ Lin Yi asked, ‘If there’s a piece of bread in front of me, I don’t have to eat it, and I can get the energy inside just by touching it. Is that what you mean?’
[That’s basically it.]
“If that’s the case, isn’t my mouth be pointless?”
[Is the host’s mouth only used for eating?]
“Your answer is f*cking perfect,” Lin Yi said.
“But does this only apply to food?”
[Yes, as long as it’s something edible, this effect will work on it. It can be used on one’s own body or transplanted.]
“Huh? What does that mean? Can I use it to lift a chestnut?”
[If there are two chestnuts in front of you, you can transfer the energy of one chestnut to the other through your ability, so that one of the chestnuts has double the energy.]
‘F*ck!’
Lin Yi exclaimed in his heart, “Isn’t this ability a little too awesome?”
The system was still as quiet as ever, as if there was a timer on its mouth.
Although he had obtained the system reward, Lin Yi was not in a hurry to start a new profession.
After all, it would be the same if he activated it again after dealing with the matter at hand.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the time to complete the system mission. Thus, there was no point in activating it earlier.
“Dongdong, let’s go back.” Ji Qingyan held Wang Dongdong’s hand and said, “Big Sister will take you out to play today. Big Sister will accompany you wherever you want to go.”
“I don’t want to play. I want to go to Aunty’s.”
“Hm? Who is Aunty?” Ji Qingyan asked doubtfully.
“My mom,” Lin Yi said, “Last night, I told him everything.”
Ji Qingyan finally understood. She was still worried about how to tell him about this matter.
It turned out that Lin Yi had already helped her deal with it.
A smile subconsciously appeared on her face.
Lin Yi was very careful. He helped her settle the things that she couldn’t do well without her asking.
“That doesn’t make a difference. I’ll bring you around Zhonghai for a few days,” said Ji Qingyan.
“Brother said that I’ve already met the requirements to become an innate master. As for the rest, as long as I study hard, I’ll be able to become a powerful person. That’s why I want to go to school now,” Wang Dongdong said.
“Requirements?”
He Yuanyuan looked at Lin Yi. How did the boss trick this child again?
He was already homeless. What requirements could he have?
He had no requirements at all, okay?
“It refers to the fact that both my parents have died.” Wang Dongdong said.
“Big Brother said that he’s an orphan, and I’m an orphan too. As long as I work hard like him, I can become a powerful person like him and find a beautiful wife like Sister.”
He Yuanyuan patted Wang Dongdong’s head. “You’ve misunderstood. Sister is not his wife.”
Wang Dongdong pointed at Ji Qingyan. “I’m talking about this beautiful sister.”
