The case was withdrawn.
Chen Qing signed a mediation agreement.
Chen Xi's eyes were red and swollen, and her makeup was smeared like a sewage ditch.
Yu Jinxiu's eyes were also bloodshot, and her cheeks were swollen.
Chen Qing didn't feel the slightest bit of pity in his heart.
Compared to his and Chen Man's lives, what was this?
It wasn't even enough to be considered as interest!
But that didn't stop him from feeling really good about today's events!
He went back to the hotel humming a song.
Tomorrow was July 24th, and it was the day for talent testing. He had to go to bed early today.
July 24th...
July 24th...
Chen Qing always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.
Since he couldn't remember it all the time, he just let it go.
After having dinner, he took Chen Man out for shopping.
It was bustling with people, and the atmosphere was warm.
All kinds of shops were brightly lit, with neon lights shining brightly, and the shouts of street vendors could be heard continuously.
What an ordinary scene it was. But in a month's time, such scenes would completely disappear from this land.
Nowadays, an orange that was a little rotten in the trash bin and no one wanted would be something that people would fight for their lives for.
Would anyone want the white banknotes or the noble and elegant clothes in the shop windows at that time?
Looking at the little fat guy beside him, he really hadn't enjoyed a single day of happiness.
He was clumsy but sensible.
He had always been working so hard, but because he was a bit slow-witted, he couldn't do many things well.
Sometimes when life was too difficult, Chen Qing would scold Chen Shan and Chen Kuan for leaving them behind.
But Chen Man had never blamed anyone.
He didn't blame Chen Shan when he was picking up bottles.
When there was no one to cook, he would obediently go and cook.
When there was no food at home, he would try to pick up some things to sell.
Then he would buy steamed buns. If there was enough money, he would take one for himself and one for Chen Qing.
If there wasn't enough money, he would divide one bun into two and give half to Chen Qing.
Even in his previous life, when Chen Qing pressed him against the knife and they died together, he didn't complain at all.
He just hugged Chen Qing tightly.
Now that he had two super ancient artifacts in hand and the big stone in his heart had been put down, Chen Qing also wanted to take him to enjoy the last prosperous days well.
Chen Qing squatted down and hugged him.
"Little Man, what do you want? What would you like to eat? What would you like to play? Just tell me everything."
"Jianbing guozi (a kind of Chinese street food, like a pancake roll), with one more egg added."
"We can eat something even more delicious. Do you like KFC? How about ice cream?"
"It's too expensive."
"Did you forget that I have a super lot of money now?"
"Alright then!"
Chen Qing didn't mention steak or anything like that.
He knew that Chen Man wouldn't like it.
That night, Chen Qing was very relaxed.
In the most expensive shopping mall, he picked out several sets of clothes for Chen Man.
The texture was soft, and there was no paint smell.
He bought the most expensive children's watch for Chen Man.
It could be used to make phone calls and play games.
He bought a small bicycle for Chen Man.
Although he needed training wheels to ride it steadily.
He bought the softest and whitest socks for Chen Man.
He bought the brightest shoes and the biggest balloons.
Looking at the clean and bright little fat guy, Chen Qing also had a smile on his face.
He should have lived such a life a long, long time ago...
How should children of this age live?
Chen Man had never had a reference answer, so he had never corrected his life path.
So in his small world, there had always been empty bottles, cooking, and occasionally some cartoons or Animal World.
He wouldn't say a word when being hit, and wouldn't fight back when being scolded. He just tried hard to do his homework.
Chen Qing was carrying big and small bags full of things for Chen Man. At this moment, he was so satisfied.
When passing by the lottery shop entrance, Chen Qing suddenly froze!
He remembered what he had forgotten!
Lottery tickets!
The lottery tickets for the 24th!
24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 33!
Except for the last number, the first six numbers were consecutive!
At that time, he had even complained that such neat numbers must have been 人为 (man-made).
So he remembered them very clearly.
Immediately, Chen Qing bought five bets. He didn't get greedy.
"Tsk tsk, 25 million yuan, just like that in my hands?"
This world was really strange.
With a sigh, he took Chen Man back to the hotel.
Chen Man's little belly was bulging from eating too much.
It was the first time in his life that he had eaten so well and so much.
"So full..."
"Chen Qing, I'm sleepy..."
"Good night, Chen Qing."
"Good night, Little Man."
Chen Qing took out the Demon-Suppressing Tower and began to experiment.
There was no doubt that the Demon-Suppressing Tower had a storage function.
What Chen Qing wanted to confirm was the time flow rate inside it.
He took a mechanical timer, set the pointer to zero, and then took a cup of boiling water and put them both into the Demon-Suppressing Tower together.
After waiting for ten minutes, he took the things out again.
There was no visible change at all!
No...
There was!
The pointer seemed to have moved a little bit?
After thinking for a while, he reset the timer and put it back into the space again.
He would check it tomorrow.
If the time inside the tower was static, that would be the best.
He could find some big hotels and order a hundred or eighty tables of food. Chen Man and he could enjoy the custom-made dishes by chefs for decades.
If the time wasn't static, then he would have to consider canned food, seeds, and the like.
Everything would be clear tomorrow.
The next day.
As soon as Chen Qing woke up, he opened the necklace and took out the timer from the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
The pointer pointed to a position of about four seconds.
Excluding the time for putting it in and taking it out, the actual time might be less than two seconds.
He had slept for more than eight hours. Calculated based on two seconds, there was a time difference of nearly 15,000 times!
It meant that if hot dishes were put inside, they could probably stay warm for about 300 days.
If judged by the degree of "not spoiling", they could still be considered fresh after 30 years. Calculated according to the time flow rate, only one day had passed after 40 years.
It was really convenient!
He should get more of Chen Man's favorite Jianbing guozi, Western fast food, and the like.
After confirming the functions of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, the next step was to stock up on supplies.
Now he still had 7.7 million yuan left. He had to exchange as much of the money as possible for things.
For example, pig feed...
However, he still had to go and take the talent test in the morning first.
The Ghost-Contracting Technique must be learned.
Today was Sunday.
But the school was very lively.
With spiritual power talent, one could enter the Ghost-Controlling Army, the Ghost-Eliminating Team, or even martial arts schools.
Either way, it was like reaching the sky in one step.
In his previous life, Chen Qing gave up the test. Firstly, he thought that if he left, there would be no one to take care of Chen Man.
Secondly, it was because of inferiority complex. As a child without parents, no matter how tough he seemed on the outside, there was always a broken heart inside.
In fact, the establishment of Chen Qing's confidence should be attributed to the apocalypse.
It was through countless life-and-death battles that he gradually gained a firm foothold and became confident.
"Chen Qing! I thought something had happened to you!"
A sturdy young man walked over.
Hou Tianyi. Monkey. His brother.
"Monkey?" Chen Qing was stunned.
They were best friends since childhood.
On that day, those people came in with blood on them and were holding Monkey's knife.
Monkey probably died at the hands of these people.
Chen Qing hugged Monkey tightly: "Good brother!"
"Damn it! So disgusting!"
"Let go of me! I'm straight!"
"We have a lip friendship!!"
"Let go!"
After a while, Monkey said, "Do you really want to give it a try?"
Chen Qing shuddered and finally let go.
At this time, the person on the flag-raising platform spoke.
"Today, the one who will test everyone's talents is Han Yuan, the captain of the fifth team of the Ghost-Controlling Army!"
A burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood on the flag-raising platform.
Chen Qing was stunned!
It was actually the captain!?
In his previous life, Chen Qing had followed Han Yuan.
Chen Qing survived until the third Blood Moon Ghost Tide, while Han Yuan died during the second Ghost Tide.
Because his ghost betrayed him.
That terrifying evil spirit-level existence!
And this ghost came from the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
Han Yuan was the owner of the Demon-Suppressing Tower in the previous life.
