Capítulo 63: The Thief
Chapter 63: The Thief
Mu An also experienced for the first time what it meant to have three women in a play.
As Chu Youmeng and the other two chatted, they quickly became familiar with each other.
Before long, they were laughing and joking like close friends, even deciding to have a meal together later.
Mu An naturally had no objections and was just in time to see that little girl Youbai.
Her fortune was an astonishing 99999, which had always caught his attention.
A definite super large gold mine!
"Daddy!"
As soon as she entered the door, You Bai excitedly jumped into Mu An's arms.
Like a little octopus tightly grasping something she cherishes, she was unwilling to let go!
Mu An also readily picked up the little girl, his eyes instantly filled with a hint of indulgence.
"Did You Bai listen to Mama at home?"
"Yes! Hehe, You Bai is super obedient! I just helped Mama with housework!"
Gong You Bai giggled and seriously patted her little chest.
"Seeing you makes little You Bai very happy, emotional fluctuation +25, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +50]!"
Mu An's eyes lit up.
A fortune reward actually popped out?
It turns out that this little girl was worth the effort!
Should he work a little harder to earn more?
"You Bai is so good! Here, Daddy will treat you to a lollipop!"
Mu An suddenly remembered that he had a reward called [Super Popular Lollipop for Kids], so he took it out and used it directly.
"Thank you, Daddy!"
The little girl happily accepted it, as if she had received a rare treasure, unable to put it down.
"The thing I truly like is not the lollipop, but the lollipop you gave me as 'Daddy'!"
[Feeling your love, You Bai's happy emotional fluctuation +26, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +60]!]
[The lollipop is really sweet, You Bai likes it very much, joyful emotional fluctuation +30, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +80]!]
[Super Popular Lollipop for Kids] automatically takes effect, Gong You Bai feels close to you, affection level automatically +1+1+1+1+1+1... emotional fluctuation +40, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +100]!"
...
This series of fortune rewards almost dazzled Mu An's titanium alloy dog eyes.
He seemed to have realized something.
So this is the gold content of a super gold mine at the 99999 level of fortune?
Love it! Love it!
"Not even sparing little girls? You really are something!"
"By the way, I should warn you, our country has a complete criminal law system, especially regarding illegal copper smelting..."
Liu Ziqian, standing aside, began to speak in a strange tone.
The other party was so young yet had such a big daughter?
Her training as a police officer made her secretly alert.
Meanwhile, Chu Youmeng widened her beautiful eyes and slightly opened her small mouth.
She was clearly shocked by You Bai's sudden call of 'Daddy.'
However, she had been close to the Gong family for a long time and understood their situation well.
So, she quickly guessed that Mu An was probably not the real 'Daddy' of the other party!
She hurriedly pulled Liu Ziqian aside and quietly explained the situation of the Gong family.
After listening, Liu Ziqian felt a bit embarrassed.
After all, having been in the criminal police team for a long time, she had encountered many more bizarre cases.
Naturally, she subconsciously thought of some not-so-good possibilities.
[From Liu Ziqian's awkward emotional fluctuation +13, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +3 million]!]
Mu An was not one to suffer losses either, smilingly retorting.
"Officer Liu, our country indeed has a complete criminal law system, and I fully acknowledge that."
"So, your casual accusation of others, shouldn't you be careful of being sued?"
Liu Ziqian rolled her eyes but did not retort.
This time, it was her subjective misjudgment.
If she was wrong, she was wrong; she wouldn't, nor did she care to argue further.
As for apologizing, looking at the other party's smug 'face,' to avoid giving them an inch, she thought for a moment and decided to let it go!
At this moment, Gong Nanyan came out of the kitchen with a smile.
She had just gone to check what vegetables were in the fridge to prepare for everyone.
"What are you all talking about? By the way, is there any special dish you want to eat?"
"If there isn't anything at home, I will go out to buy some!"
Liu Ziqian and Chu Youmeng hurriedly waved their hands in refusal.
"Sister Nanyan, no need to go to so much trouble! We can just have some home-cooked dishes, no need for anything extravagant!"
"Oh, really... then let me think about what to cook?"
Gong Nanyan pondered seriously.
"You Bai wants to eat the dishes made by Daddy!"
You Bai suddenly raised her hand and shouted.
"Okay, okay, I will make it for you!"
Mu An affectionately ruffled the little girl's hair.
To be honest, even if it weren't to earn the little girl's coins, he still had a good impression of her.
Moreover, as the 'temporary father' of the other party, it wasn't too much to ask him to cook a meal.
Gong Nanyan's face also slightly flushed, seemingly a bit shy.
"Yay!"
The little girl cheered.
"From Gong You Bai's joy and happiness emotional fluctuation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +50]!"
"You can actually cook?"
Liu Ziqian looked at Mu An with a strange expression.
Previously, when she was at the police station, she had seen Mu An's personal information and naturally knew he was from a prominent family.
But would a pampered rich kid like him really know how to cook?
To be honest, she found it hard to believe!
"What's so strange about that? Shouldn't normal people know how to cook? What, you can't?"
Mu An shrugged.
Liu Ziqian's mouth twitched.
She couldn't help but think of herself, who had to eat takeout often because her cooking skills were so terrible!
So, was he implying that she wasn't a normal person?
[From Liu Ziqian's indignant emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Skill Level +2000]!]
Soon, Chu Youmeng and Liu Ziqian began to play with You Bai.
The little girl was not shy at all, laughing with the two women.
In an instant, the house was filled with laughter and a warm atmosphere.
Mu An also went into the kitchen to help and saw Gong Nanyan looking a bit dazed.
He hesitated for a moment but still pretended to 'skillfully' wrap his arm around her waist.
'Everything is for the sake of earning emotional rewards, this move is not too shabby!'
Mu An had already forgiven his 'offense' in his heart.
"What's wrong? You look a bit distracted!"
The man asked gently with a smile.
Caught off guard, Gong Nanyan let out a small gasp.
"Don't do that..."
'The emotional rewards are right in front of me, how can I give up halfway?'
Mu An grinned, deliberately showing that already skilled 'bad smile,' which made her face flush in just a few words.
And a large amount of emotional rewards came as expected.
[From Gong Nanyan's shy emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received [Cultivation Years +2 years]!]
[Happy emotional fluctuation from Gong Nanyan +20, congratulations, you have received [Fortune +20]!]
...
Under Mu An's superb culinary skills, all the dishes were prepared in no time.
The table was filled with a feast of colors, aromas, and flavors—seven dishes and one soup!
Although they were all home-cooked meals, they felt extraordinarily unique!
Liu Ziqian's first bite made her eyes widen in surprise.
'My God!'
'What kind of divine flavor is this?!'
To put it bluntly, compared to this, the takeout she had been eating for so long felt like... pig food!
"Did you really make all of this?"
She asked with a hint of skepticism, still feeling a bit unreal.
This also made her previous prejudices against the disciples of big families get slapped in the face!
"Who else could it be? Are you saying you made it?"
Mu An raised an eyebrow and shot back.
He was all about... never forgetting to brush up on each other's emotional rewards at any time!
"..."
But Liu Ziqian surprisingly did not retort, obediently closing her mouth and saying nothing more.
It wasn't that she didn't want to speak, but in just that short moment, everyone else at the table was frantically grabbing food to eat.
Among them, the little girl You Bai was the most enthusiastic about grabbing food!
One moment she was serving her dad, the next moment her mom...
If she took any longer, she might end up with an empty plate left for her!
[Deeply impressed by your culinary skills, Liu Ziqian was shocked, emotional fluctuation +19, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +9 million]!]
[Chu Youmeng really really likes the dishes you made, her understanding of you has deepened, and her feelings for you have also deepened, emotional fluctuation +22, congratulations, you have received the reward [Heartfelt Card *1]!]
[The little foodie You Bai's recognition and fondness for you increased again +1+1+1+1+1+1... emotional fluctuation +25, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +50]!]
[Gong Nanyan's heart is filled with love for you, emotional fluctuation +26, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation Years +6 years]!]
Watching the continuous stream of emotional rewards, Mu An couldn't help but smile slightly.
This was truly a great profit!
And all he had to give was just a table of dishes!
...
After the meal.
"Burp~ Sometimes I really don't understand you. You're clearly a disciple of a big family, yet your cooking skills are so good?"
Liu Ziqian lay half-reclined on the sofa without any semblance of a lady's image.
While patting her round little belly, she didn't forget to comfortably let out a satisfied burp.
After all, this meal was the best she had had in years!
"I'll take that as a compliment! But that doesn't excuse your laziness!"
"Look at my Youmeng, she's already sensible enough to go help wash the dishes, and you're still here slacking off!"
Mu An rolled his eyes at Liu Ziqian.
He was currently holding onto You Bai, who was reluctant to leave his embrace.
The little girl was fiddling with the TV remote, engrossed in a somewhat cliché animated love story set in a wolf-sheep prairie.
"Ahem~ I'm just giving Xiaomeng a chance to show off, right? Next time I come, I'll wash the dishes!"
Liu Ziqian coughed awkwardly.
Of course, she wouldn't admit it was because she was clumsy with housework.
Last time at home, she helped her mom wash the dishes.
As a result, out of ten bowls, nine were gloriously sacrificed (not afraid of being smashed to pieces)!
And one was in a semi-sacrificial state (she forcibly glued it back together with some brand of glue)...
[Embarrassing emotional fluctuation from Liu Ziqian +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +3 million]!]
[Feeling like a big waste when it comes to housework, Liu Ziqian felt a bit embarrassed, emotional fluctuation +18, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +3000]!]
"Do you want to come again next time to mooch off food and drinks?"
Mu An raised an eyebrow.
Although the other party's face and that heroic short hair were quite pleasing to the eye, he certainly wouldn't be happy if she was like a freeloader.
Of course, if she could shower him with gold coins, then there might be room for negotiation!
Liu Ziqian: "..."
"Can the act of a true love warrior promoting their doctrine while having a meal with someone else be called mooching?"
[Liu Ziqian was so angry she had nothing to say, wishing she could punch your dog head, emotional fluctuation +25, congratulations, you have received the reward [Plot Fragment *1]!]
...
Mu An's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He had 'exploited' the other party for so long, and this tool finally laid an egg (produced a plot fragment)!
He just didn't know which protagonist's plot this [Plot Fragment] was about.
"Ahem, by the way, didn't you show me your amazing pickpocketing skills before?"
"I've always been very curious about that! How about you show me again now?"
Liu Ziqian subtly shifted the topic.
And this topic wasn't something she brought up carelessly.
She genuinely wanted to know how he had stealthily stolen the bullets from the thug's gun!
If she could learn it or understand the principle behind it, wouldn't she be able to catch thieves with ease?
Maybe she could even 'take' dangerous items from criminals in advance, thus reducing the risks when capturing them!
"You want to learn? Hehe, I should have told you, this is a family heirloom skill, only passed down internally, not externally!"
"So, don't even think about it!"
Mu An saw right through her little scheme.
And looking at her punchable expression, Liu Ziqian wished she could land a solid military punch on him!
Saying something about passing it down internally, wasn't that just trying to force her... to marry him?
Pah!
As expected, he was a scumbag through and through, truly despicable!
She, the pure love warrior, would never marry him!
Never ever!
[The pure love warrior will never yield! You scumbag can't use this to force her! Emotional fluctuation from Liu Ziqian +19, congratulations, you have received the reward [Book: Complete Scumbag Training Manual]!]
Mu An: ???
Mu An was left speechless.
He had no idea what kind of nonsense the other party had just concocted in her mind!
"I don't want to learn, I just want to watch again!"
"Just steal something from me!"
"If I don't notice, I'll help you do something within my capabilities, but it can't be illegal, how about that?"
In the end, perhaps curiosity triumphed over anger.
Liu Ziqian's eyes turned, and she threw out a proposal.
Originally, she wanted to use money as a bet, but thinking about the other party's identity, he probably wouldn't lack money, so she changed the conditions on the spot.
"Although your condition doesn't sound great, I can still play along!"
Mu An smiled.
He seemed to see a whole bunch of emotional rewards waving at him!
Anyway, they all came to him voluntarily asking to be 'stolen' from, so he didn't have any psychological burden at all!
'[Special Skill: Sleight of Hand], activate!'
[[Special Skill: Sleight of Hand] successfully used, congratulations, you have successfully stolen the target item [Hairpin]!]
[Due to your strong desire to prank the other party, this skill use has resulted in a critical hit. Congratulations, you have received an additional reward [Clothing*1]!]
[Due to your even stronger desire, this skill use has resulted in another critical hit on top of the previous one. Congratulations, you have received an even greater additional reward [Clothing*2]!]
Mu An: ???
Mu An immediately sensed that something extraordinary had appeared in his system space.
He didn't know until he looked, but once he did, his expression darkened considerably.
And it seemed that Liu Ziqian had finally realized what she had lost.
Her pretty face instantly flushed red, and her beautiful eyes widened in shock for a moment.
Then she glared at Mu An fiercely, as if to say,
[Are you a pervert?!]
[Liu Ziqian is shocked by the item you stole, emotional fluctuation +23, congratulations, you have received the reward [Book: Cultivation of a Pervert Plus Version]!]
[From Liu Ziqian's shame and anger emotional fluctuation +26, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +4500]!]
...
Mu An: "..."
Although the process was a bit 'twisted', it seemed that he had still achieved his goal of pranking the other party...?
