…

Top 1…uh, the thirty-fourth day since Fourth Sister left the bottom of the rankings.

Miss her!

In the past month, Cao Cheng’s various skills and physical data have improved greatly.

Most of it is useless stuff.

My aspirations lie elsewhere.

For example, dance…

And blacksmithing.

Just take a look, am I really going to be a blacksmith?

Men, you need to be strong to be a blacksmith!

However,

Although some things are useless, they have given back a lot of temperament, such as the posture of dance. Although Cao Cheng doesn’t have to dance in the streets, that agile spirit is embedded in his soul.

In addition, the improvement of various basic data has also made Cao Cheng more attractive than a month ago.

Haven’t you seen how some young wives, girls, and old widows look at Cao Cheng with such longing eyes?

Young Master Cao is scared…

There are also many other items.

Let’s not talk about Congealed Fragrance Tea, recently I drew another good thing, thirty packs of 【Longevity Tea】.

This thing also comes from a fantasy world.

You know,

Congealed Fragrance Tea is used for cultivation, to improve comprehension, and it only incidentally increases a tiny bit of lifespan.

This Longevity Tea is similar to a health-preserving tea in the fantasy world.

People in the fantasy world already have long lifespans, and they still need health-preserving tea.

You can imagine how health-preserving this tea is!

Longevity Tea contains hundred-year-old ginseng, blood amber goji berries, roasted sun-dried jujubes, deep mysterious snow lotus…uh, the product description lists the formula like that.

There are also four kinds of herbal medicine that do not exist on Blue Star or Earth in dreams.

In short,

This health-preserving tea, just smelling it makes you feel energetic, and drinking a cup strengthens your muscles and bones.

Young Master Cao doesn’t dare to take it out to drink, he can only drink it secretly in his room with the doors and windows closed.

If someone smells the scent, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

…

In the past month, Cao Cheng has lived very comfortably. After reconciling with Aunt Wang, Cao Cheng spent most of his time bullying other people’s children.

It’s summer vacation, and there are many children in the courtyard.

Children have strong energy and tempers, and they are more prone to negative emotions than elderly people.

The simplest way is to eat spicy strips, ice cream, and drinks in front of them.

Good heavens…

Holding spicy strips and iced cola, eating while walking, negative emotions would pop up from time to time along the way.

Craving and greed also count as negative emotions, right?

The number of lottery draws has reached 91 times. According to the system’s introduction, a diamond will definitely appear after 100 draws!

That is, with another ten-consecutive draw, a Diamond Chest will definitely appear.

It should be in the next two days.

Summer vacation is also coming to an end.

…

The thirty-fifth day since Fourth Sister left the bottom of the rankings.

Miss her!

This day.

Cao Cheng was playing chess in the square.

What’s this called?

This is called staying true to one’s original aspirations.

Now he doesn’t need the negative emotions of the old men anymore; Young Master Cao doesn’t care much about this, but he also hasn’t forgotten these old brothers.

Because when Young Master Cao was at his most difficult, they provided a continuous stream of emotions, allowing Young Master Cao to gather his First Bucket of Gold.

Don’t forget those who helped you when times were hard.

It’s our fine tradition!

However,

Now he no longer gambles with them; it’s not easy for the old men to make money.

Just playing simply, killing time.

Playing chess without thinking.

If I think too much, and go bald, whose fault is that?

It’s not worth it for those few points of negative emotion from the old men.

Therefore,

Cao Cheng has lost significantly more chess games recently because he plays carelessly.

Like this game.

It’s almost over.

“Checkmate,” the old man laughed heartily.

Cao Cheng moved his king: “I dodge.”

“Check again.”

“Dodge again.”

“Hey, I can keep checking,” the old man looked at Cao Cheng with a smug look, certain of victory.

Cao Cheng moved his cannon to deflect the horse’s leg: “I dodge again.”

The old man also moved his cannon: “Checkmate.”

“…”

Cao Cheng had a black line on his face.

Damn.

Unfair.

I’m not playing seriously with you, are you bullying the weak?

Are you taking me for a fool?

You don’t understand what respect for the elderly means, right?

Young Master Cao is at least a hundred years old, well, at least in experience.

Which of these old men here is over eighty?

“I’ve been praying devoutly in front of Buddha for thousands of years…”

This song is one of the most popular mobile phone ringtones these days.

Cao Cheng frantically took out his phone and pressed the answer button.

“Hello?”

“Huh?”

“What?”

“No way? So serious?”

“Okay, I’ll be right there, wait for me!”

He hung up the phone.

Cao Cheng looked at the old man: “This unfinished chess game can’t be finished for a while, leave it to me, I’ll come back and play with you next time, I guarantee you’ll lose.”

The old man became anxious: “Don’t touch it, what unfinished chess game? You’re one move away from checkmate, you have no way out.”

“What are you talking about? I have many ways, you’re the one with no way out.”

Cao Cheng dismissively clicked his tongue, then reached out and messed up the chessboard, like shuffling mahjong tiles.

Instantly, the chessboard was ruined!

“I’m leaving, see you next time,” Cao Cheng put away his phone and ran with his insulated cup.

The old man’s eyes turned red: “Don’t run, don’t run…come back…”

【Ding~ Negative Emotion +20】

Cao Cheng ran with a grin, quickening his pace.

He disappeared into the small park on the west side of the square in an instant.

He won’t be coming back for a while.

To avoid being blocked by the old man.

Come back in a few years.

The old man is not young anymore, he probably won’t last a few years…

We’re young, what are we afraid of?

Drinking another pack of Longevity Tea can make all the old men here die, and then no one will know I have bad sportsmanship.

Perfect!

My reputation as a true hero cannot be lost.

“Brother Cheng~~ over here…”

After running a few steps, a red Volkswagen Beetle was parked by the roadside, and a slender girl was standing beside the car.

Cao Cheng ran over, anxiously saying: “Hurry, hurry, hurry…”

The girl was surprised and amused: “Who did you offend again?”

“Get in the car first, let’s talk in the car.” Cao Cheng looked back several times, but didn’t see the old man.

It makes sense.

The chess playing area is under the shade of trees, cooler.

If he really chases out, the summer heat would roast the old man dry!

He probably won’t chase after him.

But just in case.

These old guys are shrewd, who knows if they’ll pop out from some nook and cranny.

If the girl sees his poor sportsmanship, that would be bad.

Hurry!

Hurry up!

…

This girl is Lingling.

She’s Fourth Sister’s best friend.

Lingling is kind.

And she easily admires people.

In her professional field, she rarely respects anyone, especially rarely respects her peers.

Even Fourth Sister, Ren Yuege, whose strength is a little better than hers, doesn’t deserve her admiration.

But this Brother Cheng is different.

She feels she can’t catch up.

Her grandmother also said that Brother Cao Cheng’s strength is no less than any international master, and more.

I don’t know how he trained.

During this time, Lingling would occasionally text Cao Cheng, and would occasionally invite Cao Cheng home for dinner, of course, she wouldn’t miss the chance to ask Cao Cheng to teach her.

Their relationship got closer and closer, didn’t it?

Today is also a prearranged date, to have lunch at her grandmother’s house.

Because she’s leaving soon, school is starting.

She studies in Beijing, where her grandmother used to teach.

Once she goes to Beijing, she won’t see Cao Cheng for a long time.

She feels reluctant.

“Brother Cheng, who’s chasing you again?” Lingling chuckled while driving.
