Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 162 Wu Man's Paranoia

"Xiao Wu, why are you going to buy groceries so early?"

It was just daybreak when Sister Wang went out and saw Wu Man coming back with a basket of vegetables. She immediately greeted him warmly.

Wu Man showed a warm smile to Sister Wang on her already delicate and fair face. She walked quickly forward and handed a killed chicken to Sister Wang.

"I had a dinner date with a friend today. I wanted to have barbecue, but my friend said she wanted hotpot. So I changed the menu temporarily and went shopping for ingredients. I ended up buying an extra chicken. Sister Wang, this chicken is not fresh after being left overnight. You can take it back and eat it."

"Oh, how can this be so embarrassing?"

The wrinkles on Sister Wang's face were almost squeezed into a ball due to her smiling face.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We're just next-door neighbors."

As he spoke, Wu Man stuffed the chicken in his hand into Sister Wang's hand, then pulled up Sister Wang's chubby little hand and put his fingers through Sister Wang's fingers.

Wu Man's fingers were very cold and her skin was very smooth. When she clasped her five fingers together, 49-year-old Sister Wang's heartbeat jumped to her throat in an instant.

"These hands are beautiful, full and round, with just the right proportion of fat and muscle, and plenty of elasticity."

Wu Man gently rubbed Sister Wang's palm with her fingers, her eyes becoming more focused, until she saw the rough wrinkles on the back of Sister Wang's hand, and suddenly a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes: "What a pity, the skin is a bit rough, it's a waste."

As he said this, he stuffed the chicken in his hand into Sister Wang's hand, then closed the door of his room without looking back.

"Boom!"

When the door was closed, Sister Wang woke up suddenly. She looked at the closed door with an increasingly lost look in her eyes. She looked down at the skin on the back of her hand and stood there blankly.

"Om..."

At this time, Sister Wang suddenly heard the door open and raised her head in surprise: "Little..."

But when she turned around, she found that it was her husband who stuck his head out of the door and looked at her with a puzzled look on his face. "Wife, didn't you go shopping for groceries? What are you doing standing here?"

Then he looked at the chicken in Sister Wang's hand and couldn't help but grin and said, "My wife is the best. Shall we have chicken for lunch?"

Looking at her husband's face, Sister Wang suddenly felt nauseous for no reason and threw the chicken in her hand at the man's face: "Get lost, I quit. I will cook whatever I want to eat in the future."

After saying that, she walked out angrily, leaving the confused man behind, not knowing what happened...

On the other hand, after closing the door, Wu Man had already forgotten about Sister Wang outside the door.

It's like food thrown into the trash can. No matter how high-end the food is, once it is classified as trash by Wu Man, Wu Man will never take a second look at it.

She took out the purchased vegetables and her white apron fluttered in the air.

His finger pressed the play button of the speaker, and as the familiar song "Anxiang" sounded, Wu Man couldn't help but frowned. He turned it off and changed to the next song.

"Zizzizi..."

"I treat every day as if it were my last day, and every minute and every second is so sad that I shed tears..."

When the familiar rock music sounded, Wu Man squinted his eyes and nodded, then turned and walked into the kitchen and started to get busy.

After a while, I heard the crisp sound of cutting vegetables coming from the kitchen to the rhythm of the music.

As the hands of the clock on the wall gradually pointed to 12 noon.

Under the beige light, the bright red oil in the pot has begun to slowly boil.

"jingle!!"

At this time, the glass door was gently pushed open. Wu Man looked up with anticipation. The smile on her face froze immediately. She looked at the cut on the corner of Xiao Ran's eye, and a cold light flashed in her pupils.

"Who did it?"

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the black swan brooch under the coat. He could feel the murderous intent in Wu Man's eyes, but the black swan brooch did not sound the alarm.

This means that Wu Man’s murderous intent was not directed at himself.

But it was obviously only me who was injured, so why was he more nervous than me?

"Don't mention it. I accidentally bumped into the table."

Xiao Ran waved his hand.

Thinking of the old man’s rage last night, he couldn’t help but feel puzzled in his heart, but the last two words his grandfather said made him even more confused.

"Enemy!"

As for what hatred or grudge does Li Jingqi have with their family? ?

Grandpa didn't say a word, leaving Xiao Ran completely confused.

Seeing that Xiao Ran refused to speak, Wu Man looked very unhappy. He pressed Xiao Ran down on the seat and said, "Don't move!"

Wu Man stared at the wound on the corner of Xiao Ran's eye and breathed a sigh of relief after a careful inspection. "It was almost there. If the angle had shifted a little, you wouldn't be able to save this eye, and the other eye would also be affected."

"It's not that exaggerated."

Xiao Ran was stared at by Wu Man, and he always felt that this guy had some ill intentions towards him.

"You know nothing. The brain and eyes belong to two independent systems. The brain is responsible for cognition and movement, while the eyes are responsible for seeing things.

Since the two organs have different functions, the brain is unaware of the existence of the eyeball.
If the eye is hit, the lens of the eye may rupture. At this time, the brain will detect the existence of the eye and mobilize white blood cells to attack the eye. "Wu Man explained science to Xiao Ran with a very serious look, and at the same time took out a bottle of medicine from the space and carefully applied it to the wound at the corner of Xiao Ran's eye.

"I have a friend who is a quack doctor. I will ask him to prepare some special potions for you in a while. They can protect your eyes and improve your visual ability."

"Ah? This... isn't good."

Xiao Ran was so concerned about Wu Man that she began to wonder if this guy was gay? ?
Just as I was about to find an excuse to refuse, Wu Man had already sat down; "It's okay, it's just a small bottle of potion, I can just treat him to a meal, but this guy is a bit picky, and I haven't found the right ingredients."

After saying that, she pointed to the plate of beef on the table with a smile and said, "Hurry up and try it. This is the lychee dried beef roll that I carefully prepared. It is made with lychee shells and salt, then dried, and finally smoked. I have been preparing this plate of beef for more than a month."

Faced with Wu Man's cordial invitation, Xiao Ran no longer refused and picked up the chopsticks to pick up a piece.

The beef is very thin, with alternating fat and lean parts. The pink slices of meat are interspersed with white fat like snowflakes. It only needs to be lightly brushed in the pan a few times and then put into the mouth. The beef is so tender that Xiao Ran feels as if it can be crushed by a single roll of the tongue. The aroma of the beef mixed with a faint flavor of lychee slowly spreads in the mouth, gradually covering up the spicy taste of the beef oil pan in front of it.

"good to eat!"

Xiao Ran just said it was delicious, but he didn't slow down at all. He picked up a big piece and threw it into the pot, then started eating it in big mouthfuls.

"By the way, I have some news. The Changchun Association has almost finished its preparations. After a while, they plan to go deep into the mysterious city to open up new land. Do you want to go with us?"

"The Changchun Society."

Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment; "Forget it, I don't plan to go in, at least not for the time being."

The Changchun Association's character of forming a group to explore new areas is unreliable no matter how you look at it.

Besides, Mo Ju had already reminded himself that a big net was slowly approaching the Changchun Association, so he should stay away from the Changchun Association to avoid being dragged into it.

So when he heard that the group would be held in Changchun, Xiao Ran immediately shook his head to indicate that he was not interested.

"Why don't you consider it? You know, this opportunity is rare. If you can find the spell pattern of a new profession, it will be a huge price."

The deeper you go into the mysterious city, the higher the level of the spell patterns that appear.

There are also many unknown new spells appearing.

These are what all beginners aspire to.

Moreover, in such a large-scale operation, if beginners cooperate with each other, they can even achieve extremely high achievements in the mystery city.

"Don't go, don't go."

Even if Wu Man said a lot of wonderful things, Xiao Ran didn't want to go.

You know what your level is.

Not to mention that he hasn't advanced to D-level yet. Even if he has advanced to D-level, he is still just a rookie.

Facing a Tiger like this, a double-D or even triple-D master is simply not enough.

The reason why he was able to kill the tiger and the spirit snake was because he relied on the talismans from the Wang family and the talismans he had accumulated, and used attributes that were several times greater than those of two people to create a crushing situation.

In the Wang family, he could call the tiger a scumbag, but when he walked out of the Wang family’s door and saw the tiger, what should Xiao Ran call?
Even if I shout for mercy, I don't think it will save my life.

Seeing Xiao Ran sternly refuse again, Wu Man had no choice but to say what a pity.

After dinner, Xiao Ran went back. Before leaving, they agreed to meet at the coffee shop on Guling Street two days later, which was next Monday at 2 pm. Then she would take him to meet the landlord.

As for whether he can rent the house, it all depends on Wu Man's own ability.

The reason for setting this time is that Xiao Ran will be able to teleport into Bone Spirit Street again tomorrow.

Considering that he needed to clean up the entire basement and arrange with the person on the third floor about renting a house before he could invite Wu Man in, Wu Man would have to come in the evening.

As long as Wu Man doesn't know that the industry belongs to him, the rest of the things will be easy. With the protection of the industry rules, even if the other party hides under his nose, he is not afraid of what tricks the other party can play.

If Wu Man really has bad intentions towards her, hehe, Xiao Ran doesn't mind learning his cooking skills.

Before Xiao Ran left, he took with him a lot of cat food made by Wu Man himself. After all, this trip might take a while, so he prepared more cat food to prevent the white cat from starving to death.

After Xiao Ran left, Wu Man sat on the chair and looked at the boiling hot pot in front of him. He felt a little regretful. "If this kid doesn't take the bait, do I have to wait? Damn it, I must protect those eyes!!"

"jingle!"

At this time, the bell on the shop door rang. Wu Man thought it was Xiao Ran who had returned, but when he stood up and took a look, it turned out to be Sister Wang.

"Xiao Wu, I just passed by Dr. Bai's beauty salon. He used essential oils to care for my hands. He said that if I do it a few more times, my hands will be as good as a young girl's skin."

Sister Wang walked forward and handed the hands she had just completed the maintenance to Wu Man.

Wu Man originally had a polite smile on her face, but when she saw the well-maintained skin on the back of Sister Wang's hand, her smile froze instantly.

"Xiao Wu, look at your skin. Doesn't it look much better now? This is very expensive. It's said to be a combination of essential oils and something called... a water-light injection. Ouch, it hurts. Come and have a look."

Sister Wang looked at Wu Man with hopeful eyes, but saw Wu Man stand up from the chair without a trace and walk to the door of the store.

He casually pulled down the roller shutter door outside.

As the light in the room gradually dimmed, Wu Man's eyes began to become cold and irritable...
