Luo Jun wants to reincarnate.
But he has to admit, Qin Huai makes a valid point. Anyway, his memories are already in Qin Huai’s damn system, and Qin Huai is definitely going to look at them. Instead of letting Qin Huai look at them blindly and guess without understanding, he might as well give a brief rundown of the past.
Chen Huihong in the back seat was already sitting up straight, her head almost reaching the front row.
"Chen Huihong, are you turning back into a tree? I see you’re getting worse at reading people’s expressions," Luo Jun glared angrily at Chen Huihong.
"We’re all familiar with each other, no need to mind such trivial things," Chen Huihong said with a smile. "Mr. Luo, you’ve been in the human world for 92 years, you must have plenty of exciting stories. You might as well tell Master Qin a bit, and I’ll listen too."
"Then are you planning to come over to my house too later?" Luo Jun said grumpily.
"Since you’ve extended such a warm invitation, I’d be remiss not to accept."
Luo Jun took a deep breath and began to reminisce.
The more he reminisced, the more silent he became, until Qin Huai drove the car into the Yunzhong District underground parking lot and parked in Chen Huihong’s spot. As the three of them were about to get out, Luo Jun finally spoke slowly as he opened the car door, "When I first arrived in the human world, I transformed into a young man in his twenties."
Qin Huai handed the car keys to Chen Huihong and walked to Luo Jun’s side to support him. Luo Jun had indeed been out for quite a while today, and after seriously touring the entire orphanage, he had walked quite a bit. By the time he got out, his steps were somewhat unsteady.
Luo Jun was still lost in his memories and didn’t notice Qin Huai’s support. He continued walking slowly, talking to himself.
"According to the tribulation crossing strategy, I first raided a few groups of mountain bandits, robbing a lot of gold and silver treasures, and pretending to be a wealthy young master."
Chen Huihong, who was killed by mountain bandits in the first life: ...
Having divine power, Bi fang could indeed do whatever he wanted.
"Unlike these clueless plant spirits, when I cross my tribulation, I have to enter the world and experience human prosperity. After roughly understanding the human world’s rules, I set up a persona as a wealthy overseas-returned young master and went to Shanghai."
"Then... after spending a few years in Shanghai, a war broke out. Although I wasn’t really afraid of those firearms and artillery, wars are troublesome, so I went somewhere else."
"Wherever I went, wars broke out. Eventually, I got tired of running and decided this place was nice, so I settled down here."
"Have you always lived in Shan City?" Qin Huai asked.
Luo Jun finally noticed Qin Huai’s support and decisively pulled his hand away, distancing himself a few steps to walk alone.
"I’ve lived here for nearly 60 years. There’s not much to say about those 60 years, and you probably won’t see much either. Just a few years ago, when real estate investment was trending, I followed the trend and developed one."
"I’m one of the developers of this district. Otherwise, why would I be living here for no reason?"
No, that transition was way too abrupt!
How did showing off wealth come so suddenly?
Is this system food-oriented or a Yunzhong District strategy system?
Three profiles in total were unlocked: a property manager, a property manager’s daughter, and a developer.
Your wealth makes Qu Jing’s situation look really bad in comparison.
Chen Huihong also lived in Building A, and the three of them walked to the elevator and entered it. As the elevator ascended slowly, even though they couldn’t see the outside scenery, Luo Jun casually pointed in a direction.
"The landscaping in our district was designed by me."
The implication being: Isn’t it amazing? Isn’t it impressive? Isn’t it beautiful? Come on, praise me.
Qin Huai finally understood why the Yunzhong District had such vast green areas.
The first time Qin Huai went to the Yunzhong District, he secretly marveled in his heart: this high-end district really was different; the green areas were significantly large. The district’s vegetation was lush and vibrant. If space permitted, it felt like the developers would want to build a park right in the district.
Turns out it was designed by Bi fang.
Well, that makes sense. In the world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, with so many plant spirits, the vegetation coverage must be quite high. Luckily, the designer of the greenery was Bi fang. If another plant spirit developer stepped in, the residential buildings developed might have been treehouses.
Qin Huai followed behind Luo Jun to his doorstep and only realized when Luo Jun opened the door.
No, Luo Jun said so much, but not a single word was about the past events.
Just showing off wealth.
Luo Jun opened the door, and Zhang Shumei, holding a cloth, came to greet them at the entrance, "Mr. Luo, you’re back. Lunch is ready, and the Silver Ear Lotus Seed Soup is still on the stove. Would you like to..."
"Master Qin, Ms. Chen, you’re here too. Let me get you some tea."
"Don’t get the tea just yet. I’d like to buy a potted spider plant for the house. Go buy one for me. Not too big, not too small, not too green, not too yellow, not too expensive, and not too cheap. You can choose whichever one fits."
Zhang Shumei nodded, put the cloth back, went into the kitchen to pour out the Silver Ear Lotus Seed Soup for the dining table, and then changed shoes before leaving.
People have been sent away.
Qin Huai felt that Zhang Shumei truly had a tough job earning this salary.
"Mr. Luo, don’t you have anything else to tell me? I’m really about to start looking at the memories now," Qin Huai reminded him one last time.
Luo Jun pressed his lips together and said nothing.
Alright, I assume he doesn’t want to talk about it.
Qin Huai walked to the couch, sat down, and opened the game panel to select [A Memory of Luo Jun].
Spirits in their first tribulation certainly have grand entrances; instead of dreams, they get access to memories directly.
Just as Qin Huai was about to click "Yes."
Luo Jun suddenly spoke, "Being human is really annoying."
"Huh?" Qin Huai was bewildered.
"When I was Bi fang, even if only for a brief moment, if I wanted to remember, I could still recall a clear image a hundred years later. Now, as I’m about to reincarnate and pretty much become a human, I can’t even remember the exact looks of people from just seventy or eighty years ago."
Sorry, in this life I’ve only lived to 26, so it’s hard for me to engage in conversations that span seventy or eighty years.
"If you see someone named Liu Tao in my memory, help me remember her appearance, and later draw her for me."
Qin Huai withdrew the hand he was about to use to click "Yes," staring blankly at Luo Jun with writing all over his face, "I can’t draw."
"How can you not even know how to draw?" Luo Jun looked at him with disdain.
He was just an ordinary kid who grew up with nine years of compulsory education, born from an orphanage, and grew up in a Breakfast Shop. Isn’t not knowing how to draw quite normal?
He also doesn’t know music, martial arts, or any special skills.
"I can learn," Qin Huai said, "but recently I don’t have time; I have a lot to practice lately, plus tasks to complete, gaining favor to trigger tasks. I estimate..."
"How about starting to learn three years from now?" Qin Huai looked at Luo Jun, whose head seemed filled with writing, with an expression as wise as a husky’s.
"By the time you start learning three years from now, I’ll have reincarnated," Luo Jun waved his hand dismissively, "Fine, just look closely. After you’re done, tell me what she looks like; a description will do."
"Do you actually have symptoms of dementia? How about booking an appointment with Xiao Qu tomorrow for a thorough check?" Chen Huihong asked with some concern.
"You just woke up; what do you know? Keep quiet!"
Luo Jun began arguing with Chen Huihong again, and Qin Huai couldn’t worry about anything else and clicked "Yes."
