Chapter 169: Chapter 127: Pipa, Why Are You Acting Like My Mom?!

Arrived!

Finally arrived!!

Shen Qiushan excitedly pumped his fist.

If the system hadn’t initially tempted him with this billion dollars, Shen Qiushan might not have been able to top the exams.

Even though there was a cheat, he still had to study hard and practice tirelessly every day, doing so for three months was quite a challenge for a 38-year-old man like him.

And whenever he felt tired, Shen Qiushan would think about the generous rewards from the newbie tasks!

With a billion dollars!

He’d instantly achieve financial freedom and could comfortably enjoy life afterward!

After all, Shen Qiushan had not yet moved past the stage of chasing money.

For now, earning money was still a top priority for him.

Ding!

Congratulations to the host for obtaining Advanced Blind Box*1

Ding!

Congratulations to the host for obtaining Skill Card*1

As Shen Qiushan was celebrating the billion-dollar prize, the system prompt sounded again.

Besides the billion-dollar cash prize, the newbie task also included an advanced blind box and a skill card!

Ding!

[Yes][No] Open the Advanced Blind Box?

(Note: The advanced blind box can yield cash or tangible rewards valued up to a billion dollars)

The system prompt sounded again.

Shen Qiushan hadn’t heard such a prompt in a long time; he had only obtained one newbie blind box and one basic blind box in the early days.

According to the system’s explanation, the basic blind box can yield cash and tangible rewards valued up to a million dollars.

And the advanced blind box directly raises the limit to a billion dollars.

If nothing unexpected happens, the middle-level blind box should be ten million dollars.

But Shen Qiushan hadn’t obtained one yet, so he couldn’t verify.

Yes!

It has to be!

Shen Qiushan quickly responded.

Ding!

Successfully opened the advanced blind box.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining [Electromagnetic Pulse Cocoon Breaking Pavilion]!

Uh??

What is this??

Shen Qiushan was completely dumbfounded.

He had thought that this advanced blind box would give simple cash rewards like the basic one before!

But instead, he got an Electromagnetic Pulse Cocoon Breaking Pavilion?

Just hearing the name sounded strange!

Curious, Shen Qiushan looked up this “Electromagnetic Pulse Cocoon Breaking Pavilion”!

Suddenly, it all made sense.

It turned out to be a lab founded by the famous physicist, Professor E Yuanhang.

And Professor E Yuanhang himself graduated from Sanjiang University, taught there for a while, and later went into business amassing significant wealth.

When he was fifty, he founded a lab named after himself, later renamed as “Electromagnetic Pulse Cocoon Breaking Pavilion”!

Half a month ago, Professor E Yuanhang just passed away at the age of 92!

This Professor E Yuanhang had no heirs, devoting his entire life and savings to this lab!

Upon learning about the Electromagnetic Pulse Cocoon Breaking Pavilion,

Shen Qiushan felt a sense of respect for Professor E Yuanhang; not taking a penny from the state and funding scientific research himself, he was indeed remarkable!

Ding!

[Yes][No] Redeem Skill Card?

Just then, the mechanical system prompt rang once more.

Yes!

Shen Qiushan responded again.

Ding!

Successfully redeemed the skill card.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining Extraordinary Level Chess Dao!

(Note: This chess dao encompasses all chess types, not limited to Go, Chess, International Chess, Gomoku, Checkers, etc….)

With the system prompt, Shen Qiushan felt like a mysterious power was injected into his mind, but the sensation was fleeting, only lasting about 0.5 seconds!

Wow!!

Shen Qiushan couldn’t help but marvel in silence.

Just as they say, acquiring more skills can’t hurt!

This extraordinary-level chess dao is enough to help Shen Qiushan sweep through all parks and even leaders like Lin Moxuan!

Of course, if he wants to, even those professional players won’t be his match!

After all, it’s “extraordinary level”!!

Just hearing the name, you know it’s beyond what ordinary people can rival!

Having claimed the newbie task rewards,

Shen Qiushan quickly went downstairs.

The postal guy was already waiting at the entrance.

“Brother Shen, congrats congrats!”

“Your family produced three university students, that’s incredible!”

Although he had been waiting for a while, the postal guy wasn’t impatient; having read about Shen Qiushan in the news, delivering the admission notices to him in person was an honor.

“Thanks, brother!”

“Here, take some good luck!”

Shen Qiushan handed the prepared red envelope to the postal guy.

The red envelope had been prepared by Shen Qiushan long before.

In ancient times, good news came with rewards!

Now that he wasn’t short of money, he thought of giving the delivery guy a little surprise for the admission notices.

“This…”

“There’s a red envelope too!”

The postal guy was delighted, even more so when he received the thick red envelope, which felt like a few hundred at least.

“Thanks, Brother Shen!”

“You’re generous, Brother Shen!”

“This top student should come from your family!”

The postal guy praised with a wide smile.

Shen Qiushan waved his hand with a smile, then took the three EMS parcels and walked toward the Wenjie M9 parked downstairs.

Shen Qiushan prepared to deliver the admission notices to his daughter and son so they could experience the joy of receiving them first-hand.

Meanwhile.

The postman rode his tricycle to the entrance of the station.

Earlier, he didn’t dare open the red envelope in front of Shen Qiushan. Now, after parking his vehicle, he couldn’t wait to take out the envelope from his pocket.

“Old Li, are you going to a wedding?”

Another delivery guy from Fangtong Express, who was also there to deliver packages, casually asked.

“No!”

“It’s from Old Shen.”

“You know Old Shen, right?”

“Old Shen??”

“The one from Jingxi?”

“Not a colleague. He’s this year’s top scorer on the college entrance exam!!”

The postman rolled his eyes: “He was so popular recently, about our age, and he topped the exams!”

“Oh, him!”

“I know!”

The Fangtong delivery guy realized but still wondered, “But why did he give you a red envelope?”

“Old Shen and his two kids received their university acceptance letters, and I went to deliver them!”

“After all, it’s a happy occasion, so Old Shen gave a red envelope.”

The postman said cheerfully.

“Whoa, just like that he gave a red envelope!”

The Fangtong delivery guy looked envious but quickly added, “It’s probably just a symbolic gesture, like sixty-six!”

If such good fortune didn’t land on him, the less money involved, the better.

The postman could roughly guess the other’s thoughts. Though he felt a bit uncertain too, it felt thick, but who knows, it might just be ten-bill notes inside!

If it is six ten-bill notes, that thickness is quite possible.

“No matter how much, it’s enough for a meal today.”

The postman said as he opened the red envelope.

And when he saw the red bills inside, he couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly, “Red ones!”

“Hahaha…”

He laughed as he took the money out.

Crisp new red bills!

A total of ten!

“Holy cow!”

“A thousand bucks!!”

The postman swallowed hard.

He never dreamed there would be a thousand bucks in the red envelope!

Previously, he guessed from the thickness it might be five or six bills, but the money was just too new.

Witnessing this first-hand, the Fangtong delivery guy’s envious drool was about to drop: “No way, just delivering a package got you a thousand bucks as a red envelope!”

“The Shen family must be crazy!”

“Old Li, with such windfall, you must treat us!”

The Fangtong delivery guy said with his mouth, planning in his mind to have a big meal.

“This is a reward from Old Shen!”

“Touched by the celebratory vibes, I need to save it for my son!”

The postman wasn’t misled. As he spoke, he quickly put away the envelope and hummed a tune as he went to deliver more packages.

“So stingy!”

The Fangtong delivery guy cursed with frustration and silently sighed in his heart: why doesn’t such a good thing happen to me!

Inside the cold drink shop.

It wasn’t the peak hour yet. Shen Yanran sat behind the bar, her long legs casually crossed, eyes glancing at her phone placed under the bar.

Xu Pipa stood behind her, holding a wooden comb, patiently combing her hair: “Yanran, are you sure you haven’t washed your hair for three days? It still feels pretty smooth.”

“I’m naturally beautiful. Not washing my hair for three days or even a week doesn’t matter!”

Shen Yanran replied with some pride.

It was clear that she, too, had the strong genes of the “Shen Family.”

Xu Pipa said nothing, continuing to comb Shen Yanran’s hair. After a moment, she spoke again: “Yanran, I think if you braid two pigtails, you’d also look great.”

“Braid pigtails? Two even?”

“I’d rather you kill me!”

Shen Yanran shook her head like a rattle.

“I can help you braid them.”

Xu Pipa knew Shen Yanran was just too lazy to bother, considering she didn’t even want to wash her hair.

“Huh?”

“Really?”

Shen Yanran’s eyes lit up instantly.

“Mm-hmm!”

“I can braid them!”

Xu Pipa nodded repeatedly.

“I remember my aunt always braided my hair when I was little!”

Shen Yanran whispered with a sigh.

“Then I’ll braid it for you from now on…” Xu Pipa added.

“Sure!”

Shen Yanran smiled with her eyes bent into crescents.

Her big eyes almost turned into crescent moons. Glancing at her friend standing beside her, she suddenly said with emotion: “Pipa, why does it feel like you’re like a mom to me!”

“Huh?”

Xu Pipa was taken aback, her face turning beet-red: “Yanran, don’t say that!”

Ding-dong~

Welcome!

Just then, the electronic parrot placed at the shop entrance suddenly chimed.

Clearly, a customer had arrived.

Leisurely sitting behind the bar, Shen Yanran quickly stood up, and Xu Pipa instinctively looked towards the entrance.

“Dad, why are you here!”

“Uncle Shen…”

The person who entered was Shen Qiushan.

With one hand behind his back, he walked up to the bar with a smile: “The most expensive ice cream in your shop, give me three!”

“Dad, there’s no need for that!”

“Uncle Shen, that’s really expensive…”

The drink shop they worked at took a high-end route, and the most expensive ice cream was 88 each!

While regular customers were free to purchase, naturally Shen Yanran and Xu Pipa wouldn’t let Shen Qiushan be such a big spender!

“I must buy them!”

“Only the most expensive will do!”

Shen Qiushan was determined, and as he spoke, he placed the admission letter he had hidden behind his back on the bar: “Because today my daughter was accepted into Sanjiang University!”
