Chapter 1157 Casual Chat Before Meal
Xia Shou continued to express his opinion: "Learning universal science is really not as good as learning a skill, such as painting, cooking, or repairing machinery. These are truly useful."

Baihe nodded slightly: "Yes, that makes sense."

Baihe did not want his nephew to become a superhuman. Although he did have the potential to become a superhuman, his mother would be more gratified if he could live a peaceful life as an ordinary person.

However, as a child who can also see abnormalities, it is impossible for him to live a normal life. And since he knows about the world of the extraordinary, the ordinary knowledge in school seems like a fairy tale to him, and he will find it less and less interesting as he gets older.

"Ugh, this is a real headache," Baihe said, shaking his head while pinching the bridge of his nose.

Xia Shou: "Although I know you don't want Gray Rain to be involved in this world, Brother Bai, but... maybe Gray Rain is interested? Why not let him choose for himself?"

“It’s not that we haven’t considered it, but if he’s really attracted to this lifestyle…” Baihe shook his head, “I’m not thinking about things too far ahead. In short, we’ll talk about this after he graduates from elementary school.”

"Old Bai, why don't you let your nephew come with me to the ninja village? Being a ninja in our village is actually pretty good, you know~ It's like living an ordinary life in a semi-supernatural way." The slightly chubby Kirigakure Goro rubbed his hands together and approached with a smile.

Shirakawa glanced at Kirigakure Goro and said, "Hey bro, can you please act like a senior? Don't borrow money from your juniors so often."

"I... I didn't even say I wanted to borrow money! Your reaction is a bit overreacting!" Goro Kirigakure hurriedly explained.

"Didn't you get that ninja tool? Didn't you win the money?"

"Well... um, right now the news is all over the place, the whole village is looking for it, and Miss Kamiya even asked me if I'd seen the dice and asked me to help her find them. If they find out I have the dice now, I'll be in big trouble. I wanted to have some peace and quiet for a while."

Xia Shou casually replied, "Then let's wait a while."

Wuyin Goro glanced at Xia Shou and chuckled, "Xia, you must have won a lot of prize money, right? And I see you don't usually spend much. Can you lend me some? Five million, just five million!"

"Xia, don't lend it to him," Baihe said calmly.

"Old White!"

"Gamblers are beyond redemption."

"I didn't do this for gambling! I did this to pay off my debts. Once I've paid them off, I'll go back to the village, get married, and have children. Are you all so jealous of me doing well? It's not like I'm not going to pay them back!" Kirigakure Goro stood up angrily, panting heavily, looking as if he had been greatly insulted. His face seemed to say: We've been through thick and thin together, yet you doubt my character!
At that moment, the door to the private room opened, and a girl wearing a cat-patterned hoodie, a burly man, and a thin man with arms that reached past his knees also entered the private room.

Xia Shou raised his hand in greeting and said, "Long time no see!"

The Ninja Wind Squad is always on missions, and apart from Kurosawa Yoru, who often acted as Su Yue's bodyguard, the other two are rarely seen. However, because they are very active in the casual chat group, they are actually quite familiar with each other.

Xia Shou's relationship with these veterans is somewhat like that of online friends who occasionally meet in person. They can chat freely online, but they are a little reserved when they meet offline.

Xia Shou racked his brains for a while before finally managing to connect their online names with their real-life identities.

The burly man's nickname in the department's casual chat group was "Ninja Killer," while the guy with arms that reached past his knees had the nickname "[Have you ever seen Kato Taka like me?]"
The former is Kurosawa Yoru's older brother, Kurosawa Hikaru, and the latter is Shiroko Junichiro.

Xia Shou's impression of them was that they spoke very abstractly in group chats, completely different from their serious ninja image offline. But inexplicably, they were very popular in the group. Xia Shou didn't have time to surf the internet intensively, but he knew that there were two senior members of their third division who had never returned and had a very good relationship with the Ninja Wind Squad.

Since joining the department, Xia Shou's only interaction with those two senior colleagues who were frequently away on business trips was the gift he received after returning from the Blood Dynasty.

The gifts included a CD, a calligraphy piece, and a vampire cosplay photo set.

Xia Shou already knew that the calligraphy was a gift from Mo Ying, but he had no idea who the senior who sent the CDs and photos was, as it seemed that people didn't usually mention it.

"Captain! Are you borrowing money again?!" As soon as Kurosawa Yoru entered the room and saw Kirigakure Goro standing there, he immediately guessed the truth and shouted, "Don't lend him any money!"

"Yo... what are you doing?" Kirigakure Goro looked flustered and stepped forward to push and shove, trying to pull Kurosawa Yo to the side, but Kurosawa Yo broke free.

"Let me tell you, we already made arrangements with Kamiya-neechan. If he's willing to stop gambling, we'll help him pay off his debts. But he's not willing!" Kurosawa Yoru revealed to Natsumi and Shiro. "That bastard captain still wants to gamble!"

With a loud roar, Kirigakure Goro immediately raised his voice: "What? You still want to gamble! You... how can you slander me out of thin air? I just don't want to bring the debt to Ms. Kamiya's side."

I am a man of integrity; how can I let my beloved wife share the burden of paying off debts with me?

"Don't you agree? As a man, as a ninja! Of course, I must pay off my debts in my own way and marry Ms. Kamiya cleanly!"

"You idiot! You still want to gamble! You rotten gambler! Shameless, you piece of shit! Trash!" Kurosawa Yoru pointed at Kirigakure Goro's nose and cursed, "Where did you spend the money we gave you as a gift!?"

"I...I just wanted to test whether the ninja dice could affect the extreme range."

Kurosawa Yoru and Kirigakure Goro were arguing fiercely, while Natsumi no longer paid attention to the matter and turned to look at Kehen and Moying on another sofa, who were chatting away about something.

Is this a topic for girls?

But it always feels strange when people like them talk about ordinary women's topics, especially Sister Ying. I always feel that her personality is even tougher than many men's, and her temperament is very similar to that of the minister.

Xia Shou's gaze moved upwards and landed on Su Weiyu, who was listening intently, so he asked, "Weiyu, what are they talking about?"

"Sister Ying was talking about the mission she went on with Brother Pang last time, and about the problems with her hair now." Su Weiyu casually picked up Mo Ying's dashing ponytail, touched the ink-like mist spreading at the end, and murmured, "How interesting."

Xia Shou became interested and couldn't help but prick up his ears to try and eavesdrop on the two people's conversation.

He carefully shifted his position on the sofa, took out his phone and pretended to watch videos, while listening intently.

Then he discovered that the two were chatting about some interesting everyday trivia.
