Chapter 93: Rewards & Undercurrents..
Hao Ren stood inside the parking lot with a smile on his face. Han Lingshi walked over to him, with a peculiar expression. The other staff members were aware of their relationship and did not mind the young couple. The lady embraced him as she asked in a low voice, "What is going on? What made you so happy?"
Hao Ren took out his mobile and then he showed her a picture. Han Lingshi watched the photo for a few minutes before she asked, "What is this?"
Hao Ren replied with some pride in his voice, "I just beat up Eden Dale, and this is what he looks like after I was done with him."
Han Lingshi was surprised and then she asked in bewilderment, "Does Ma know you are so cruel?"
Hao Ren almost choked when he heard this and turned around to ignore her. Han Lingshi looked at him amusedly and chuckled before she asked, "Alright, its fine. Now tell me, what should we do about the meeting with my parents?"
The young man thought about it before he said, "How about I answer you tomorrow?"
Han Lingshi asked, "Ummm, okay, also, I want to eat stir fried vegetable and miso soup today."
Hao Ren bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Excellency."
Han Lingshi nodded and sat down in the car with her head held high. Hao Ren sighed and smiled as he got in the vehicle before the two of them drove out of the parking lot.
...
The night was calm, Hao Ren cooked the food Han Lingshi demanded, and then Han Lingshi repaid him with a shoulder massage. She also told him to not engage in fights and act carelessly, after all, Eden Dale was a special forces person, his skills might not be as good as Hao Ren in terms of fighting, but his overall strength was not something that could be underestimated. Only on m v|le|mp|yr
Hao Ren did not argue and gradually fell asleep while resting his head in her lap. Han Lingshi smiled and did not disturb him. She sat with her back leaning against soft cushions as she slept while sitting. The young man in her lap was someone very important for her. He was pushing forward with all that he had to catch up to her. How could she disturb him?
Never have she ever felt this mixture of emotions. He was the only person in the world for whom she can give up everything she had. Unknowingly, she also fell asleep while sitting against the headboard.
...
In the morning, Hao Ren woke up and suddenly, the system notified, *Ding: Congratulations host, on reaching another level of relationship with your wife. Your actions over the time have struck a chord in her heart, and for the sake of your comfort, she even gave up her own comfort. The system rewards you with a lottery. We can begin whenever you are ready.*
Hao Ren opened his eyes wide, and sat up with a snap. His movements were so fast that Han Lingshi did not even sense anything. The young man was shocked to see this, he stood there like a statue as he watched Han Lingshi sleep. A few minutes, later, Han Lingshi frowned and then woke up.
She did not have quality sleep for the whole night and she was not used to this. Hao Ren immediately said, "Lay down, I will give you a massage. Your back will not hurt then."
Han Lingshi lay down properly and Hao Ren gave her a proper massage. He was very gentle in his touch and made sure that Han Lingshi did not have any pain. After half an hour, Hao Ren went to the workout and then freshen up.
While he was standing in the shower, he recalled the notification he had received from the system. He asked, 'System, what did you mean by lottery?'
*Ding: Host please close your eyes, and you will see a pinwheel with a lot of reward options.*
Hao Ren closed his eyes and after a few seconds a pinwheel appeared in his vision. This construct of his consciousness was clear and fine. He was surprised and exclaimed, "Whoa, these are some exciting prizes you have."
*Ding: Host, these are the things that are skills, technology, and talents that you might need. You can focus to find more details.*
Hao Ren looked at the rewards on the pinwheel carefully, there were a lot of things, but what caught his eye were clairvoyance. As he focused on tag, he learned that this talent can upgrade his yin and yang eyes.
Then he looked at another tag, mercenary king, this talent will upgrade his physique to another level and also give him the knowledge of survival. Hao Ren was fascinated and looked forward to getting such skills. Then he asked, "So, how do I trigger this lottery?"
*Ding: You should say start for the pinwheel to start spinning and then stop when you want for the wheel to stop. Before you ask me if the lottery is rigged let me clarify that it is not. The lottery is random and the reward is completely random. All the items in the reward panel are of the same value.*
Hao Ren smiled and said, "I understand system, why do you clarify it? When have I ever doubted you?"
*Ding: Host, are you sure you want me to answer this question? Even if you wish to throw away your shame, the readers are aware how much you have doubted me from the first chapter. Just because you are a fool does not mean others are too.*
Hao Ren held the wall before him as he rubbed his chest. He almost coughed up blood, after a few seconds he normalized and returned to his slightly shameless expression and said, "Start."
The pinwheel in his mind began to spin. The words on the wheel turned into a blur. After a few seconds, he said, "Stop."
Hao Ren did not pray for any special reward. Since the system had told him that the skills and the talent on the pinwheel were all of the same value. He did not care about whatever he got. His rule in life was the same, no matter what you get, make the best out of it and you will thrive.
The wheel slowed down and it came to a stop. The needle of the wheel gradually stopped before a tag which said, "Business Boost."
Hao Ren asked, "System, what is this?"
He did not check this reward earlier, and the system said, *Ding: Host, congratulations. You have received a business boost. For the next six months, your business will increase and the profit will multiply by ten fold. After six months, the peak profit will lock down as the base of your business income.
The boost will also provide you with the technological advancement, the people who work join your research center, will have a thirty percent higher chance of making breakthroughs in research.*
Hao Ren opened his eyes wide and almost cheered loudly, but he quickly calmed down and came out of the washroom wearing a set of clean clothes. His parents were home, and he decided to treat them with a hearty breakfast. He brewed three portions of spirit rejuvenation potion as well.
Just when he was about to call the people to dine, Xiao Mei said, "Boss, Lieutenant Xia Yun wishes to talk to you."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Patch him."
The call was brief and the other guy informed him that the deal was confirmed and they would be signing it publicly. Hao Ren did not mind, and asked them if they could do it in the noon.
Xia Yun told him that he would be calling him again to confirm this. After all, it was too quick for them, he had to make sure that the formalities are completed and they could go through. The Han nation government might be slow when it comes to other things but they always treated military issues with priority.
In the meantime, Hao Ren called the three people and served them with a faint smile on his face. When they were done eating, Hao Ren said, "Lingshi, if you want to, I can see your parents tonight."
Han Lingshi was surprised and then asked, "For dinner? Are you sure?"
Hao Ren nodded and looked at his mother before he asked, "Empress Hao, what do you think?"
Mrs. Hao did not mind his address and simply said, "About time you manned up. Go and if you face defeat, the palace will be closed for you."
Hao Ren rolled his eyes while Han Lingshi chuckled happily. She loved it when Mrs. Hao would banter with him.
In the noon, many news channels reported one thing, "Thunder Technologies venture into Military Contracts with their upgraded Robot Medics."
The Jade Capital was housed many snakes and they all had their own ideas. Some wanted to cling to the golden thigh of Thunder Technologies, while some wanted to chop it off with an axe and keep it for themselves.
The signing of the contract and the confirmation of this news meant the business circle of the Jade Capital will be changing too.
...
Hao Ren was in his cloakroom putting on a suit when Xiao Mei said, "Boss, I think you can use this as a wedding gift."
He looked at the details on the screen of his mobile and said, "Xiao Mei, you sure have a good taste. Good job."
...
