Eat Little Almonds
Chapter 369 A Small Gift, No Respect Intended
"Dad! Why are you here?"
Ma Fei's voice was full of surprise as he rushed over and hugged the man tightly.
The man who entered from the outside was none other than Ma Benwei, the richest man in Sucheng.
"Whoa! You brat, take it easy! You trying to kill your old man?" Ma Benwei said with a laugh and a scold.
The father and son hadn't seen each other for nearly a year, so it was no wonder Ma Fei was so excited.
Then Ma Benwei looked up at Qiao Yu and the others, and said with a smile.
"Gentlemen, thank you for taking care of Ma Fei during this time, and for helping him win the championship in the combat competition. I really don't know how to thank you."
"Dad! What are you talking about? I don't need anyone to take care of me!" Ma Fei said stubbornly, puffing out his chest.
"Hehe, I still have to thank your classmates!"
Ma Benwei clapped his hands, and six strong men walked in carrying something covered with a red cloth.
"A small gift, just a token of my appreciation. Please accept it, the three of you!"
Ma Benwei raised his hand and lifted the cloth, and the golden light almost blinded Qiao Yu and the others’ 24k titanium alloy dog eyes.
"Holy crap!" x3
The three of them exclaimed in unison.
The six strong men were carrying not something else, but three gold bricks the size of human heads stacked together!
Where had Qiao Yu and these other paupers ever seen such a rare thing? No wonder it took six strong men to carry it.
"Goodness..." Yang Xiangdi couldn't help swallowing, his eyes gleaming with green light.
The temptation of having such a large pile of gold directly in front of one's eyes was simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Alright! Now that the gifts are delivered, we'll take our leave!" After the gold was put down, Ma Benwei was about to leave with Ma Fei.
"Hey! Wait, Uncle Ma, this gift is too valuable, we can't accept it! And I have a question I want to ask you..." Qiao Yu had just reacted and quickly wanted to call out to Ma Benwei.
"What? The gas exploded at home? Okay, okay! I'll go back right away!"
However, his shout made Ma Benwei run even faster, as if a ghost was chasing him, leaving Qiao Yu a mess in the wind.
Qiao Yu looked at Fang Biao Zhi with some helplessness.
Fang Biao Zhi immediately glared.
"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and take these three lumps of gold away. If these things stay in my office overnight, I'll be sent in to work a sewing machine tomorrow."
"We're rich, we're rich!"
Yang Xiangdi had already excitedly hugged the gold brick, but with his strength, he couldn't hug it at all.
"Hey, that's not right! How could I forget that I can use my powers in the real world now!"
Yang Xiangdi slapped his forehead, then took out his staff and pointed it, and the top gold brick floated up lightly.
Qiao Yu also shook his head helplessly. Oh well, anyway, Ma Fei's family had a mine and wouldn't care about this little bit.
Qiao Yu reached out and easily lifted a gold brick the size of a human head.
It was just a pity for Zhao Ziyue. She was a healer and couldn't lift this thing at all.
Fortunately, Fang Biao Zhi waved his hand and said that just leave an address and he would send someone to deliver it to Zhao Ziyue.
After saying goodbye to Fang Biao Zhi and Yang Xiangdi and the others, Qiao Yu returned home alone.
"I'm back!"
Qiao Yu pushed open the long-sealed door of his house. As always, no one responded to Qiao Yu.
The sunlight shone in from the door, adding a bit of life to the empty house, and the dust that floated up was particularly clear in the sunlight.
Qiao Yu felt a little emotional. In the blink of an eye, it had been almost a year since he had been home.
Qiao Yu picked up the mop and rag and prepared to clean up.
Then his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he directly took out the staff of darkness.
"Summon Skeleton!"
A little skeleton wielding a rusty longsword crawled out of a magic circle, full of killing intent.
The ghostly blue flames of its soul flickered in its eye sockets, as if asking Qiao Yu who to kill.
As a result, Qiao Yu snatched the little skeleton's sword, and stuffed the mop and rag into the little skeleton's hands.
"Go! Clean this house!"
Little Skeleton: "..."
On this day, the little skeleton finally understood what a capitalist was. This man was unwilling to waste mana to summon a few more skeleton warriors to help, and made one skeleton do all the work.
By the time the little skeleton had carefully cleaned the entire house from top to bottom, the moon was already hanging high in the trees.
The little skeleton let go of the rag and mop with a sigh of relief. He felt like his bones were about to fall apart.
"Not bad! I'll call you next time I clean!"
Looking at the clean room, Qiao Yu, lying on the bed blowing the air conditioner and watching a movie, nodded in satisfaction. Then he snapped his fingers, and the little skeleton disappeared.
Qiao Yu played with the sword pellet that Ji Pingyang had given him, and felt a little helpless in his heart.
He originally thought that coming to Sucheng would solve many mysteries, but as a result, after coming here, there was nothing, and he hadn't even seen Bai Ze's shadow.
"Or, should I go to the Mechanical Labyrinth and fix the Mechanical Empress first?" Qiao Yu muttered to himself.
He was now level 30, and with the 30% bonus to all attributes from the Nibelungen Ring, he was confident that he could clear a C-level dungeon.
"Name: Qiao Yu

Overall Assessment: Ridiculously OP."
Just as Qiao Yu was about to enter the other world, his body suddenly stiffened, and then he directly stuck his hand into the socket.
The buzzing current flowed through Qiao Yu's body, but it couldn't hurt him at all.
As the wires short-circuited, countless sparks erupted, and the entire room instantly lost power and plunged into darkness that was impossible to see through.
"Huh? What's going on? Why did the lights suddenly go out?" A long-haired man with a ponytail frowned.
He was almost one with the darkness, and it was impossible to distinguish him without careful observation.
"Don't worry about so much, 796. It's easier for us assassins to perform when the lights are out. Just hurry up and grab the person and take him back to report," another person said, ignoring the long-haired man. 796 was the long-haired man's code name in Bai Ze!
"That's right, if I finish this early and catch this kid, I can go back to my hometown to get married sooner," 796 said with a smile and a nod.
Then he reached out and gently grabbed Qiao Yu's door, and the entire door was torn out by him like tofu, and the whole process was completely silent.
After 796 quietly placed the door on the ground, a group of five people walked into the house.
The auras of these five people were all high-level!
The house was obviously pitch-black, but they skillfully walked towards Qiao Yu's room, obviously prepared.
But what they didn't notice was that a pair of deep blue eyes, like a hunter in the night, were quietly staring at them.
