Zhou Hong woke up very late the next morning, having slept in late. He couldn't help it; he had slept too comfortably.

Especially as if it were due to the "physical enlightenment", I quickly fell into a deep sleep after lying in bed. I slept until late morning, and when I woke up, I was full of energy as if I had been reborn. All the negative emotions and physical damage of the past eighteen years were swept away.

Zhou Hong got up and stretched, but couldn't hear any cracking sounds in his joints. He shook his head, thinking, "I'm not Wong Fei-hung after all." He then went into the bathroom to take a shower.

After coming out wrapped in a bathrobe, he called downstairs, "Xiao Xiang, Ya Ya, come here, I need to talk to you about something."

When Zhou Hong returned to his study, the two little ones timidly knocked on the door and came in a short while later. They seemed to be quite flustered and frightened. Fortunately, they didn't have any big bumps on their heads, which was a stroke of good luck.

But when Zhou Hong stood up, Papa Ya was so frightened that she immediately covered her head.

Zhou Hong felt helpless; he had truly confirmed his status as a "pervert."

Once again, Yuzuki Tika appeared, her graceful figure clad in a light blue uniform skirt suit. Beneath the skirt, her snow-white legs were translucent, and her snow-white feet, painted with pink and white nail polish, stepped onto the thick carpet, exuding an alluring charm.

Papa Ya wore a knee-length yellow T-shirt, paired with smooth, slender legs and white socks, making her an extremely cute mixed-race beauty at home.

Zhou Hong coughed. Now, the two little ones' daily outfits are all decided by Yuzuki Tissot, and there's a reason for it.

Today's theme is uniforms paired with loungewear, creating different styles and adorable contrasts that are pleasing to the eye and evoke a strange feeling.

Especially when he thought of the romantic scenes from last night, Zhou Hong felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He quickly coughed and said, "I'll take you out shopping today. Change your clothes and get ready, and we'll get right away."

The two little ones nodded cautiously.

But when the two little ones came out of the study, as if they felt they couldn't hear them anymore, Tissin suddenly said in a very low voice, "Ya Ya, let me tell you, the big pervert might not be a pervert, he's just not very good. Let's find a way to make him good, and maybe we won't get beaten up."

Zhou Hong was stunned, his face contorted with rage. He really wanted to rush out and give this cunning woman a good beating.

Actually, Papa Ya couldn't understand what this scheming woman was saying. Yuzuki Tika's thoughts were probably just popping into her head unconsciously, and she was talking to herself.

But as they whispered and gestured, they eventually reached a consensus that they were the "sadists" that Yuzuki Tika was talking about.

Thinking about it, this actually makes sense. He doesn't engage in sexual relations, yet he hits the two of them very hard.

What am I getting out of supporting those two? Doesn't it seem like I'm the kind of man who's not very capable and needs to vent through abuse?

Thinking about it, Zhou Hong gritted his teeth again. It was all that scheming woman's fault. After she arrived, things took a sharp turn for the worse.

I used to really like Papa Ya; she's so pretty and cute, no man could dislike her.

How wonderful was the start of our first day together? I rescued this little girl from her suffering, pampered her like a daughter, and supported her education. Thinking about it, it was truly heartwarming and sweet.

Now, things have completely gone astray, all because of that scheming little woman.

Thinking about it, Zhou Hong shook his head, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

……

They left around 10 o'clock. Zhou Hongxian took the two to the "Da Huan Xi" restaurant for a meal, where countless passersby, including diners, continued to stare at them.

There was no way around it; both little girls were wearing snow-white dresses, with pigtails and cute hair clips, looking incredibly pure and adorable.

The height difference between them creates an adorable contrast, making it inevitable that they attract attention.

If it were more than ten years from now, someone would film it every second and it would go viral.

Only after entering the private room did Zhou Hong wipe the sweat from his forehead. Traveling with two such stunningly beautiful girls was both cool and tiring. He had to maintain a perfect posture the whole way, otherwise, what if someone took a picture of him picking his nose...

No wonder so many celebrities suffer from constipation...

But then, remembering something, she glared at Yuzuki Tika.

Seeing Yuzuki Tika greet him with a sweet smile only added to his speechlessness.

That's really saying one thing to someone's face and another behind their back.

Unlike Liu Ying, who's a "green tea" type, this woman seems to be born knowing how to charm men. You'll never know what she's really thinking.

If I weren't so perceptive, I would never have imagined that in her eyes I was a "pervert," and now, I'm even more likely to have been upgraded to a "perverted sadist."

Judging solely from her appearance, she is pure and sweet, extremely well-behaved and sensible, and also very perceptive.

How lovable! Who would have thought he had such a bellyful of hurtful and vicious words?

Of course, why should I stoop to the level of a sixteen-year-old girl?

Convincing himself of this, Zhou Hong ordered the food.

Like Linda's meal, they ordered roast duck and other dishes that people with different eating habits would not refuse.

Watching the two little ones eat their vegetables so obediently, Zhou Hong smiled and asked, "Papa Ya, did you drop out of school, or were you originally in school?"

"Mom said she won't give me tuition next year..." Papa Ya said softly, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.

"Oh, are you a local? Which school were you originally in? You were in 8th grade, right?" Zhou Hong asked again.

"She's a local, attends Rose Girls' School, and is in 8th grade..."

Zhou Hong nodded. The so-called 8th grade is the second year of junior high school in China.

It's currently March, and there's still a month until the Water Splashing Festival, similar to the Chinese New Year.

In the Elephant Kingdom, the new school year begins after the New Year (Water Festival).

The next year that Papa Ya mentioned is two months from now.

That means when school starts in May, Papa Ya will be in 9th grade, which is the third year of junior high school in China.

In Xiangguo, the current system is nine years of compulsory education. Once you enter high school, tuition and fees are no longer waived, but the ninth grade is still free. Meng Lile just doesn't want her to continue her studies.

It seems they plan to sell their daughter a year later and then marry her off.

In Xiangguo, the legal marriage age is 17, and it can be even earlier if the guardian consents, not to mention the traditional marriage age in rural areas.

In rural areas, girls usually get married after nine years of compulsory education, and many don't even complete three years of junior high school.

Although there are rumors that Elephant Country is planning to extend free education to 14 years (including two years of preschool education), it has not yet been implemented.

"After the Water Splashing Festival, you can go back to middle school," Zhou Hong said thoughtfully, unsure of how to define successfully rescuing her.

This was the second time Papa Ya had heard this promise from her older brother, whose intentions were unclear. She nodded gently, "Yes, thank you, brother."

Zhou Hong then looked at Yuzuki Teika, "And you, what are your plans a year from now? Will you continue to let your agency arrange things for you?"

Yuzuki Tessa lowered her head and whispered, "I don't know, I'll listen to you..."

Zhou Hong glared at her. He was full of malice, thinking the worst of people, but he acted very obediently and spoke very sweetly.

But there's nothing I can do. Looking at the system interface, I'm still speechless. The milestone rescue mission has changed to "rescue 2 people," but everything else remains the same, including the mission milestone rewards.

I discovered this system while taking a bath last night. It really doesn't play by the rules.

The system feels somewhat rigid; it simply follows a specific procedure. Let's call the one who created the system the supreme being.

The highest being probably didn't take this casually made little gadget too seriously.

As a beta tester, and being the only player with the system running for the first time, it's normal for some strange problems to occur.

To put it bluntly, this system is only a half-finished product.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Hong asked, "If you terminate your contract with your agency, how much will the compensation be?"

Yuzuki Tissot shook her head. "I...I don't know..."

Zhou Hongdao said, "Show me your agreement with the agency later."

"I have the photos on my phone..." Yuzuki Tika whispered.

Zhou Hong nodded: "Let's eat first. Come on, the roast duck won't taste good if it gets cold!"

I personally rolled up some duck meat in lotus leaf pancakes for each of the two little ones, and said, "Eat it like this. If you don't like scallions, just roll it up with cucumber!"

The two little ones nodded their heads busily. Zhou Hong put scallions in the lotus leaf meat rolls he made for them. They didn't know if they liked them or not, but neither of them took the scallions out and ate them in small bites.

Yuzuki Tissot, her pretty face still looked very happy.

Zhou Hong, that's funny. Who said you have no acting skills? You're acting quite well now.

……

Da Huan Xi Restaurant is similar to foreign-related service venues in China, and can directly accept US dollars.

The total bill was $172, but the bar rounded it down to $170.

Zhou Hong's mobile phone beeped with a text message: $170 had been deposited into his military bank's dollar account, along with some transaction fees.

As he got into the taxi, Zhou Hong also started calculating the reimbursement amount for the two little ones' "rescue milestone" reward.

There is a milestone reward for activating the rescue mission for the first time.

The cost of rescuing Papa Ya will be reimbursed, but not exceeding 100 days' salary.

When the mission is activated, you are a "commoner" with a daily wage of $2000, so your 100-day pay is $200,000.

The total cost, including renting the villa and prepaying for the resort, was US$10.

Papa Ya's adoptive mother, Mon Li Le, had $15,000, but she later paid an additional $25,000 as a deposit. It seems that even if Papa Ya were to be abducted by her, Mon Li Le wouldn't care about the $40,000.

After the deposit is paid, the system will also transfer the money, which is part of the reimbursement limit.

Thus, the bulk of the money spent on Papa Ya was $14.

In reality, I've now been upgraded to a "white-collar worker," and if calculated based on a 100-day pay, my reimbursement amount should be $400,000.

Is the system calculating the "hundred-day stipend" based on the latest "white-collar" quota, or based on the "commoner's" daily stipend when the task was activated?

There's also Yuzuki-sensei, who was inexplicably recruited into missions by the system while she was in the "white-collar" stage.

Should her aid amount be calculated based on "commoner" or "white-collar worker" status?

He shook his head. This was easy to test. He should use his unemployment insurance first. The limit would expire in a few days. He hadn't even used a few thousand of the $20.

Well, I'm not very knowledgeable, so if I really need to make a big purchase, of course I'll buy a house, and I'll buy it in Bangkok.

Hekou Province is not large. Its capital, Hekou, is only 25 kilometers away from Bangkok. It is part of the tourism area around Bangkok and can be considered a satellite city of Bangkok.
