Excessive ferocity due to caution

[Symptom: Rebellious Personality (Mix)]

[Manifestations: A combination of rebellious and shrewish personality traits, possessing an extremely strong rebellious spirit. The individual will say no to everything others say, starting with denying close family members and eventually denying the entire world. During the personality fusion process, the host often exhibits negative emotions such as bloodlust, brutality, and anger. The higher the degree of personality fusion, the more severe these negative emotions become, potentially leading to behaviors such as attacking family members.]

[Mental Improvement Level: None]

[Note 1: You can reduce your spiritual hunger by consuming it, but this inferior ingredient obviously cannot enhance your spiritual strength.]

...

A few minutes later.

Zhao Yi opened the door.

Head held high, chest out, radiant with health.

Hu Aotian was standing outside the door smoking a cigar when he saw Zhao Yi open the door. He was clearly stunned for a moment, and then an incredulous look appeared in his eyes.

"Dr. Zhao...you..."

Zhao nodded.

"The treatment is over, Mr. Hu."

"From today onwards, your child will obey you unconditionally. He will reject games and anime, study hard, and inherit your family business in the future."

Hu Aotian was dumbfounded.

The warehouse ghost recommended his doctor... Is he that good?

Several doctors had come to their house before, all of whom were well-known in the town. However, after all that trouble, they were all eaten by their own son!

As a father, Hu Aotian knew perfectly well that his son was no weakling, and that a human of Zhao Yi's level would be no match for him!

Could it be... that he was really "cured"?

With a mix of disbelief and skepticism, Hu Aotian entered the room and watched as Hu Liangliang actually swallowed the computer whole and started using the table he used to play games at... to do his homework!

Hold the grass!

The sun is rising in the west!

Hu Aotian patted Hu Liangliang's head with trembling hands and said excitedly:

"My child!"

"You've made something of yourself!"

Hu Liangliang smiled sweetly.

"Dad, Dr. Zhao is right... From today onwards, I will study hard and strive to inherit the family business as soon as possible to share the burden for you!"

Hu Aotian was so excited he couldn't speak. He shouted "Good!" several times, then enthusiastically pulled Zhao Yi to stay for dinner at their house, but Zhao Yi politely declined.

"Regarding the storefront, is the boss still keeping his word?"

Hu Aotian hurriedly said:

"Count it! Count it!"

"Dr. Zhao, if you don't have enough money, you can pay on credit first."

[Congratulations to player Zhao Yi! Hu Aotian, the owner of Changsheng Mall, has upgraded your favorability rating from "Indifferent" to "Like"!]

Upon receiving the system notification, Zhao Yi was slightly surprised.

I never expected that this fat pig-like ghost would care so much about his son.

I only helped his son overcome his rebelliousness, and my favorability rating actually increased by one level!

But that's alright.

There are many unsafe places in Guxuan Town, so having more friends means having more security.

The clown contacted Zhao Yi through the system and transferred 15 ghost money to him. Zhao Yi then followed Hu Aotian to begin the handover process.

Soon, one of the underground shops in Changsheng Mall came under the ownership of the Clown.

The mall's traffic goes without saying.

There are so many ghosts in this small town, but there are only two shopping malls.

If the clown does the right thing in the underground mall shop, he can quickly earn back the 15 ghost coins!

After doing all that, the Joker sent Zhao Yi an email containing his private collection of artifacts.

However, this item requires Zhao Yi to be at level 5 to retrieve.

After finishing, Zhao Yi returned to the guild's headquarters.

The clown asked him what kind of shop would be best to open in Valley Hanging Town.

Zhao Yi replied:

"It definitely shouldn't be a general store; that kind of thing doesn't make any money at all."

"You could open a card room, or a board game room, or even a scenario-based killing game or something."

"These things can make you much more money than if you opened a general store."

The clown got excited and invited Zhao Yi to participate in the design. The latter readily accepted, but demanded 20% of the shares from the clown.

The clown had no reason to refuse.

If it weren't for Zhao Yi, he would never have been able to own such a good shop.

His long-cherished plan to revitalize the family business... seems to have seen a glimmer of hope!

Ever since his father handed the grocery store over to him, the clown had been eager to revitalize the family business. However, bound by the rules, he was unable to leave the abandoned station.

But now Zhao Yi has set up a storefront for him in Guxuan Town.

The rules then allow it to exist there.

Whenever the clown needs him, he can appear in Valley Hanging Town, in his own shop.

After some fiddling around...

Zhao Yi went to the butcher's meat shop again.

He told the butcher about Sun Baibai and asked the butcher about Zili Village.

The butcher narrowed his eyes slightly.

Long-forgotten memories gradually surfaced.

"Zili Village and Moye Village are different."

"That village has always been isolated. Although the railway has been built over there, there is no corresponding station."

"The village has always been isolated from the outside world, and people really dislike outsiders visiting the village."

"However... Bai Bai's mother, Hong Song, is from Zi Li Village..."

"When she wanted to marry me, everyone in the village was against it. Later, I eloped with her and settled in Moye Village."

"Later, not long after Hongsong gave birth to Baibai, she mysteriously disappeared... leaving only a note for me."

"The police searched the entire village but found no trace of the red pine..."

"It's as if she vanished into thin air..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi asked:

"Do you have the note?"

The butcher nodded, retrieved an old note, and placed it in Zhao Yi's hand.

The text consists of only three very brief lines.

...

Long, all my savings from these years are hidden in my pillow.

Remember, never... let Bai Bai get close to Zili Village!

Take good care of our daughter!

...

Zhao Yi glanced at the note and immediately realized that the accident on the D17 train that Sun Baibai was on, and even her mysterious disappearance, were all inextricably linked to Zili Village!

If he wanted to find Sun Baibai, he had to go to that village.

However, Zhao Yi was not prepared to go now.

Firstly, he's only level 4, so his strength isn't enough.

Judging from the description of the warehouse ghost, there is definitely an unimaginable calamity in Zili Village!

He needs to improve his skills.

Secondly, the tide of demons is about to arrive, and Zhao Yi must stay within the guild's territory and cannot wander around.

"Let's get through the demon tide first..."

"Let's find another way to get Sun Baibai!"

Zhao Yi put away the note and thought to himself.

PS: Third update.

Brothers, sorry it's too late. I'll try to write something during the day next time.

There are too many main and side quests in the world of Big World.

However, we won't delay any longer; the Demon Tide large-scale dungeon will open tomorrow.

I'm tired, brothers. Good night!
