414: Chapter 409: Cleaning Up the Mess and Proceeding with the Game 414: Chapter 409: Cleaning Up the Mess and Proceeding with the Game “Heh, the policemen already told us that these guys realized their mistakes, turned over a new leaf, and compensated us with five hundred thousand.

Isn’t that something to cheer about?”

Su Ran insinuated ambiguously, figuring there were things that were better not known by his mom.

“Absolutely not!

We’d rather not take tainted money like that!

They should be sentenced for their crimes.

These types of people, how can they go unpunished?!”

Mother Su was still heated about it all.

Their lovely home turned into a mess by those ruffians, and they thought a simple monetary compensation would suffice?

Absolutely not!

“Mom, this is just a lighter punishment, not a complete pardon.

They will still serve a sentence for a year or two.”

“Even so, they got off easy!”

Mother Su grumbled, feeling annoyed and unsatisfied with the whole ordeal.

“Mom, half a million.

We can buy a whole house with it!”

Su Ran smirked helplessly.

He knew about his mother’s temperament.

There was hardly anything that a good sum of money couldn’t resolve.

“Alright, alright.

What have they indoctrinated you with?

Look at the state they left your room in and here you are defending them.

You’re way too kind-hearted, someone’s going to take advantage of you!”

Mother Su advised earnestly, hoping that Su Ran would change his perspective, to not be too pure-hearted.

The arrival of these thugs was obviously aimed at her son; he should have been aware of this.

Su Ran nodded in acknowledgment.

As soon as his mom left, he quickly returned to Blackie’s side.

“Meow~”

Blackie timidly watched Su Ran return, hesitating to approach, worried that his master would perhaps reject him.

“Come, Blackie!”

Su Ran half-squatted down and reached out one hand, encouraging Blackie with loving eyes, waiting for him to come over.

“Meow~”

Blackie dove right into Su Ran’s arms, rubbing its head constantly on Su Ran’s clothes, entirely enchanted by its master’s scent.

“Blackie, how did you turn into a little leopard?”

As soon as Su Ran finished speaking, the phrase “Evolution Elixir” appeared in his mind.

“Bloody hell, did you eat that Evolution Elixir?”

Blackie shook its head, appearing clueless.

It didn’t know what had happened.

By the time it had woken up, it had already transformed into its current state.

“Definitely!

Science can’t explain this kind of species transformation or genetic mutation!

Except for the Evolution Elixir I got, which has some kind of magical property!”

Su Ran looked at the now fully recovered Blackie, and felt genuinely happy for him.

But he quickly felt worried, “Without the Nine Heavens God Water, the Evolution Elixir is just lethal poison!

This is troublesome…”

“Wait, that vanished nutrient solution on the ground, could it be that you absorbed it all?”

Su Ran muttered to himself.

“Is it possible that the nutrient solution is the Nine Heavens God Water, which is rarely seen on the God-Demon Continent?”

“Oh, come on.

This is ridiculous!”

At the thought of this possibility, Su Ran hardly believed it.

There were plenty of nutrient solutions for sales, how could it be the Nine Heavens God Water?

Those two were seemingly irrelevant to each other, and it couldn’t be possible.

Who would believe it if he told them?!

But since Blackie’s condition was good now, it’d be best to observe for a while longer.

“But how did the Evolution Elixir end up in front of Blackie?”

Su Ran was bemused.

He had seen with his own eyes, how that thug’s leader had thrown the Evolution Elixir out of the window.

How could Blackie have eaten it?

Did it sprout wings and fly in?

Su Ran couldn’t figure out how the sequence of events had unfolded so perfectly that the Evolution Elixir, once discarded, had magically ended up in Elder Yin’s hoodie, only to be brought back to the Su family’s living room.

This turn of fate was inexplicable.

“Whatever, so long as Blackie is healthy, I still have a chance with the Dream Mirror!”

Su Ran wasn’t worried about his health deteriorating.

With the gaming capsule in, his condition was well controlled.

It was just a matter of time before he fully recovered.

Right now, he was highly concerned about Blackie’s safety.

Whether or not the nutrient solution was the Nine Heavens God Water, he did not know.

But seeing how vibrant Blackie was, he was somewhat relieved since there was no adverse reaction yet.

Su Ran held Blackie in front of him, speaking softly, “You mustn’t reveal yourself in front of others from now on, you’ve turned into a leopard now.

If you get caught and end up as an experiment specimen, it would be disastrous.

Do you understand?”

Blackie seemed to understand but also appeared confused.

However, it nodded its head and continued rubbing against Su Ran’s clothes, seeming quite content.

Su Ran gestured for Blackie to return to its den.

He, too, returned to his own room to help his mom clean up.

By the time they finished dinner, Su Ran’s room was finally habitable.

Rather a lot of clutter had been thrown out, and it made his room feel spacious.

Just then, the young man in white along with his few men walked in with the game capsule.

Without so much as glancing at Su Ran, they installed the gaming capsule and restocked nutrient solutions sufficient for a year before storming off with grim expressions.

“What’s with these kids, so ill-mannered?

They didn’t even respond to my greeting.

They have no manners at all!”

Mother Su couldn’t comprehend the grouchy demeanor of these workers.

She decided to disregard them and turned to speak to Su Ran, “Son, look at the old city area opposite us, they’ve started to relocate!

How I envy them, they’ll soon be living in high-rise buildings.

Each person can get two apartments, perfect when the kids get married~!

Wait, why are there so many people in this demolition team?

This construction company is not bad.

The quality of the future high-rise buildings surely can’t be shoddy!”

Seeing his mom’s envious expression, Su Ran was at a loss for words.

Could he tell his mom that he was the one responsible for the reallocation happening opposite them?

There was a platoon of people; isn’t that too many?

What will those soldiers think if they found out his mom mistook them for demolition workers from a construction company?

Su Ran could only imagine what wrath awaited those hooligans at the hands of Elder Yin.

Chances were, if they didn’t die, they’d wish they had…

Today, for some, was destined to be a sleepless night.

“Mom, since the area opposite us is being demolished, it’s going to be noisy for some time.

Why don’t we pack up and move?”

Very cautiously, Su Ran proposed this to his mom, sensing that his current residence was no longer safe.

If there could be one wave of enemies, there could be a second wave.

He was now a coveted possession, enticing enough for people to take desperate measures!

“Moving?”

The color from Mother Su’s face drained momentarily before she managed to force a smile, “Didn’t we agree to move after your college entrance exam?

Looking at the situation, our area will also be up for demolition soon.

It’s not suitable for us to move now!”

Seeing his mother’s facial expression, Su Ran knew there was more to this than met the eye.

Well, maybe he was thinking too much.

After what happened today, Zhang Meng would likely keep a low profile for a while.

He should be safe in the short term.

Su Ran decided not to dwell on these troublesome matters, returned to his room, and promptly logged into the game.

However, shortly after Su Ran logged in, Blackie snuck in quietly.

Seeing its master lying in the game capsule, it was bewildered.

Blackie didn’t understand why its master had enclosed himself in a box.

After making a round around the game capsule, it settled down beside it and fell asleep.
