Shopping for New Year's Goods

Lin Nieran patted the Black Cat's head and comforted it with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work Moonlit Night and Night Moon. It was indeed time-consuming and laborious to do the accounting the other day. And Gan Tian, your desserts were delicious."

Wu Liang muttered, "Friend, my shop must be making a lot of money, right?"

Wang smiled again, "Doctor, have you forgotten why you were forcibly recalled by your Master?"

Gan Tian chuckled and added, "Of course it's because he treated someone so badly they'd rather die from the pain than come to the hospital, and they've developed a phobia of Doctors. I, being the kind person I am, selflessly told the Shopkeeper!"

The Puppet's hand drew a line on the Cross on its chest. "God above, it seems more fitting for Wu Liang to rest in Modian's Cemetery."

Wu Liang pulled out Scalpel: "Modian, you always try to secretly break the weapons my friends give me. And you, Gan Tian, your dessert shop will die if anyone says it's not good. What right do you two have to talk to me like that?"

Cheng Shanshi looked at this person and that person, and hurriedly tried to mediate. "You two talk things out, don't fight!"

Lin Nieran a bit of a headache, so he quickly got up. "You guys watch the live stream first, I'm going to take a shower. Arguments are arguments, but let's settle things outside."

"Yes, Master / Master / Shopkeeper /Friend!"

The group agreed quickly, looking quite obedient.

007 followed behind Lin Nieran: [Are you sure there's no problem, host? Aren't you going to do anything about it?]

Lin Nieran said, "What problem could there be? It's normal for them to make a fuss. With the Writer and Moonlit Night watching over things, nothing will happen."

[I'm referring to Cheng Shanshi joining the Calamity Crossing Squad.]

"Isn't this great? I need to learn more about the Orphanage anyway."

Lin Nieran took out her pajamas from the closet and said, "They want to go to the Orphanage, and I'm interested in Orphanages too. This is perfect; I can find out any news I want to know immediately."

Why is the host so concerned about this Orphanage?

Lin Nieran blink. "No, why would I care?"

[You clearly care a lot! You just said that!] 007 said.

"Really?" Lin Nieran came into the Bathroom and turned on the light. "If you think so, then it is, right? I'm going to take a shower, can you excuse me for a moment?"

007 sensed that its host was hiding something, but since the host wouldn't tell it, it couldn't read minds and could only wander around outside the door, watching longingly.

This was the first time it had ever encountered a host with more secrets than the system itself!

Little Ball returned to the living room with a heavy heart, only to find that the people who had been sitting together watching the live stream just moments before were now arguing over a seat.

The others wanted to sit in the spot where Lin Nieran originally been.

Cheng Shanshi, who had just been acting all calm and collected, suddenly turned grim. The energy around him surged, completely different from the lucky energy he had shown before. Instead, it carried a heavy, gloomy, and negative aura.

If you get tainted by this aura, something bad will definitely happen.

The Writer and Gan Tian carefully dodged Cheng Shanshi's attack, but the Puppet failed to dodge in time. He immediately got up to chase after him, but after taking only one step, he tripped on his left foot and fell flat on his face.

"Haha!" Gan Tian laughed wildly.

When Modian got up, he was still a little dazed. Just as he was in a daze, Wang Qingpiao's voice came down.

"Looks like this newcomer is asserting his dominance."

"Do you want to monopolize all of Father's love?"

Upon hearing this, even faster than the others reacted was a sharp Scalpel.

The Doctor made a swift and decisive incision, stabbing directly into the body without thinking.

However, the knife failed to penetrate Cheng Shanshi's body; he managed to dodge it by shifting his feet.

Everyone's gaze turned eager as they stared at him, but the Writer picked up his pen and added a protective barrier to the living room.

Having witnessed everything, 007 sighed wearily. He had only worked in this world for a few dozen days, yet he felt so much older.

Is this the price of "growth" that our predecessors talked about?

In the Bathroom, hot water gushed down, and the rising steam and the snow scene outside the window completely tinted the window a misty white.

Lin Nieran dried the Bathroom mirror. The young man in the mirror had slender eyebrows and eyes, black hair and black eyes, but his eyes always held a lazy and listless expression.

Lin Yi leaned against the Bathroom window, looking at Lin Nieran, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the back of his shoulder blades, and asked, "When did you get these markings on your body? They look like a fox's."

"It's there, it's not useful anyway," Lin Nieran replied casually. It was just a small coin-sized mark, and Lin Yi had to remind him every time he almost forgot about it.

How many times have you asked?

"No matter how many times I ask, you won't tell the truth." Lin Yi said coldly, "You said it was done when I was a child, but I don't remember ever getting this tattoo when I was little."

"All you think about is killing, killing, killing. How much of what you did as a child do you even remember?" Lin Nieran turned off the shower, grabbed a towel to dry herself, and said, "Or are you regretting giving yourself to me?"

Lin Yi said coldly, "You know perfectly well why I'm asking this."

"I know you want your body back, but you can't go back now." Lin Nieran putting on her pajamas and said, "Alright, don't mention it again after we leave this room, and don't let that system know."

"It seems you don't trust it."

"An external system that treats the survival of the world as a plaything is not trustworthy."

Lin Yi narrowed his bloodshot eyes. "Aren't you the same?"

Lin Nieran paused in his action of opening the door.

The next morning, Lin Nieran to open the Weapon Shop, and the snow that had been falling for more than ten days finally stopped.

Not long after the door opened, the Flower Language was directly transmitted into the shop, where the exposed Vines were covered in snow.

"Good morning, Feeder." Flower Language looked at him with deep longing in her eyes, her sorrowful eyes slightly lowered. "It's been a long time. I'm a little late getting back."

Flower Language has been spending her days in the Forest; after all, she's half plant and still needs soil.

"It's alright, it's not too late. There's no mission this time, so get some rest."

"Yes."

Flower Language returned to the Boundless Land. Lin Nieran took the money, hung a sign outside the shop saying "Temporarily Closed," and waved for a Taxi.

He glanced at the taxi Rules and, finding nothing particularly serious, reassured the driver that he could take him to the next street.

It's time to buy some New Year's goods.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, the streets are bustling with people buying New Year's goods.

Even though Lin Nieran was among the first to arrive, the surrounding area was already filled with all sorts of stalls.

There weren't many customers, but the atmosphere was already lively, with a feeling of the approaching Chinese New Year.

007 followed him around, the little ball flying around curiously.

[Host, your world's festivals are quite lively.]

Lin Nieran found a shop with decent-looking tea and bought some rose tea, as well as some other types of tea, intending to let Moonlit Night and Flower Language try them.

And then there's Wang, this guy has very high standards for tea. He always has to have the system buy black tea from the store. This time, let him try some tea from Blue Star.
