Antique Shop Zero: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts

Antique Shop Zero, Study.

Jiang Chaosheng was looking at a document in his hand.

The document was clearly just a blank sheet of paper, yet there were words formed by shadows on it.

The characters are still forming, as if someone is typing them from a distance.

The original version of the document was created by Shirley.

Since there was no signal in the Zero Antique Shop, Yang Xiao used shadow tracing to transfer the words onto white paper.

"Yang Zhen..."

Jiang Chaosheng murmured the name on the paper.

The little boy wasn't nameless; he wasn't born from a stone.

His original name was Yang Zhen. His father was a gambler, and his mother left with another man.

Alone and helpless, he was fostered by relatives.

.....

Yang Zhen is having a really tough time.

I don't dare to put meat in my bowl while eating.

He was terrified that his relatives would make sarcastic remarks at the dinner table.

When guests come to visit during holidays, they always say he's a parasite.

In fact, Yang Zhen is very sensible. She started doing housework at a young age and cleaned the rooms of her relatives and their children.

He didn't want to be called a vampire.

When I was seven years old, a relative's child stole one hundred yuan from my family.

The matter was quickly suspected to have involved Yang Zhen.

Because he was the only one who regularly went to the adults' guest rooms to clean them.

Yang Zhen finally couldn't bear it anymore and ran away, becoming a homeless child.

......

"Helene... even the Crow's naming skills are inferior to mine."

If he wants to keep track, nothing about Zero Antique Shop can be hidden from him.

After reading Helian's documents, Jiang Chaosheng looked up at the ceiling, his mind wandering.

He brought Helian back not because Helian shared his tragic past.

Well... actually, Helena's situation is much worse than mine.

At least I had a very good mother before I entered the orphanage.

He brought Helena back mainly because of two things.

First, Daji said that Helian has great talent.

Secondly, Helian was eerily calm when she killed someone tonight.

Jiang Chaosheng muttered to himself:

"He's a talented person."

If Helian learned Daji's magic, Yang Xiao's cunning, and Xia Li's organizational skills, she would be a perfect asset.

Jiang Chaosheng's ideas are very realistic.

Just like what Xie Ya said to Jin Meiting: If you want to gain Jiang Chaosheng's favor, you have to become more useful.

Jiang Chaosheng has indeed been a bit sentimental lately, and he's trying to accept that sentimentality.

However, the fundamental logic of survival will not change.

Keep what's useful, discard what's useless.

It seems very cold and unapproachable.

However, from the moment he entered the orphanage, no one showed him any human kindness.

This simple and brutal survival rule is the secret to his continued existence.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Jiang Chaosheng got up and walked into the living room, where he smelled the aroma of dumplings.

He muttered to himself:

"Has Crow's cooking skills gotten so good?"

Jiang Chaosheng walked downstairs and came to the table in the main hall.

A plate of fragrant dumplings was already laid out there.

This was definitely not done by Evil Raven.

Oh, right, Evil Crow has passed the cooking task to Helian.

Jiang Chaosheng suddenly remembered that Xie Ya had told He Lian last night that there shouldn't be any random meat on the dining table.

What does this messy meat refer to?

Jiang Chaosheng felt that Xie Ya's gaze towards He Lian last night was strange.

Suddenly, he heard a noisy commotion.

Jiang Chaosheng looked towards the doorway.

Helian stood on tiptoe to paste the couplets.

Daji rummaged through the plastic bag for the horizontal scroll.

Little Whitey was sticking out its tongue and running around aimlessly at the door.

The evil crow stood on Little White's head and scolded Little White for being disobedient.

Jiang Chaosheng felt a warmth in his heart.

This scene is quite heartwarming.

Jiang Chaosheng put down the dumplings and walked out the door.

When Daji saw Jiang Chaosheng, she smiled and said:

"Husband, are you up?"

This morning I took Xiaolian to buy New Year's goods, and I also bought your favorite candied hawthorns.

As she spoke, Daji handed the candied hawthorns from the plastic bag to Jiang Chaosheng.

Jiang Chaosheng's smile froze.

Daji asked nervously:

"Does your husband not like it?"

Jiang Chaosheng took the candied hawthorn:

"like."

He does indeed like candied hawthorns, but nobody knows that.

So, how did Daji know that she liked candied hawthorns?

Jiang Chaosheng could guess that Daji's real husband, the human emperor, liked candied hawthorns.

He gave Daji a deep look.

Is Daji's memory starting to return?

If Daji were to discover that he was not her true husband, given her cruel nature, she would likely cause quite a stir.

If that time comes, the best course of action would be to eliminate Daji and leave only the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Pill.

But... I don't know if I can bring myself to do it.

Seeing that Daji was looking at him expectantly, Jiang Chaosheng took a bite of his candied hawthorn and said:

"sweet."

Daji then smiled radiantly.

Helian picked up the groceries she had bought from the ground and said:

"Let me cook dinner tonight! I'm an amazing cook!"

Jiang Chaosheng said with a smile:

"it is good."

The house is getting more and more lively.

......

noon.

A customer came to the Zero Antique Shop.

Liu Weiqian.

Upon seeing Jiang Chaosheng, he became noticeably more respectful, bowing deeply.

"Thank you for your guidance, sir!"

Jiang Chaosheng, sitting at the counter, closed his book and looked at him:

"It seems you've managed to extend your lifespan using your academic abilities."

Liu Weiqian said with a smile:

"I can live on as long as I want."

I believe the challenge of bacterial controlling leadership will be solved soon.

In this world, Liu Weiqian is the person who understands bacteria the most.

He dares to claim second place, but no one dares to claim first.

He was number one, and the second-place player was miles away from him.

After all, he can communicate with bacteria and even freely mutate them.

Jiang Chaosheng asked:

"Now that you've solved this problem, will you feel that lifespan is meaningless again?"

Jiang Chaosheng's lifespan is infinite, but he is only in his twenties now.

He wondered if one day he might also find life boring.

I'm tired of living like other managers.

Liu Weiqian said very seriously:

"Won't."

Jiang Chaosheng stared into Liu Weiqian's eyes, waiting for him to continue.

Liu Weiqian's eyes were piercing:

"After acquiring this flute, I realized how foolish and ignorant I had been!"

The world of bacteria is so vast; I have only glimpsed the threshold.

Bacteria appeared just as the ecology of Earth was beginning to stabilize.

Bacteria have a history that is much longer than human history.

Bacteria have witnessed the rise and fall of human dynasties.

After these days of research, I've discovered that bacteria seem to hold some kind of secret.

Jiang Chaosheng raised an eyebrow:

"A mystery?"

A fervent light shone in Liu Weiqian's eyes:

"Yes, I discovered an amazing bacterium."

That bacterium did not obey the control of the Beast Language Flute.

It seems that the Beast Language Flute is much lower in rank than its extraordinary level.

I continued to observe the bacterium and discovered that it was highly destructive.

After communication and observation, I believe it once resided in some kind of organism.

That was no ordinary creature!

It could very well be... an extraordinary being!

If we assume something even bolder...

Liu Weiqian's voice even began to tremble:

"It's possible that this bacteria originated from the gods!"

The thought of bacteria on God's body excites me!
