A wealthy person with a reading panel

Chapter 71 The Neighbor's Beautiful Woman Being Threatened (Please Read)

Half a million?
This figure caught his attention, and when he looked over, he saw them.

The sturdy man came in front of the woman and said something. His voice was even lowered and Zhou Qing didn't hear it. After he finished speaking, he got into a black Toyota car next to him and drove away.

The woman stood on the street for a while and was about to leave, but suddenly she received a phone call and stopped again.

Just then, the boss came over with a roasted lamb leg: "A delicious big lamb leg, handsome boy, enjoy it slowly."

Zhou chuckled and nodded.

This roasted golden lamb leg not only looks tempting, but also smells delicious.

The boss said it was a big lamb leg, but it was actually a small lamb leg, about two or three pounds. It had already undergone preliminary processing before he came. After he ordered it, the boss started the subsequent roasting. It took about seventeen or eighteen minutes to serve it and place it on the vegetable leaves.

Zhou Qing picked up the knife beside him and started eating.

I feel that the taste is different from the previous lamb skewers, and it is also very delicious.

After he took a few bites and turned to look at the woman on the side of the road, she was just finishing her phone call facing him.

Now I could see clearly that she was a beautiful woman. Due to her delicate makeup and the dim light at night, her exact age could not be determined, but she looked to be in her early thirties.

After she hung up the phone, she seemed to have suffered a great injustice and squatted on the ground and cried silently.

Zhou Qing looked around and saw a couple at the next table who had apparently noticed the woman crying on the side of the road, but they didn't do anything.

He didn't go over to ask the other party if he needed any help, but continued to eat his roasted lamb leg.

If the man who threatened her just now was going to hit her, Zhou Qing would definitely go over to stop him, but now, she was just crying alone - there were too many people in this world who were not living a happy life.

Moreover, in today's society, there are too many reversals. Without knowing the full picture of the matter, he never interferes.

Besides, she has a husband.

Eating roasted lamb legs and drinking beer alone was too monotonous and a bit greasy. Zhou Qing saw a Xiangxi pickle shop nearby, so he went over and ordered five or six kinds of pickles, which he brought to eat with the roasted lamb legs.

He likes leeks the most because of their sour and crispy texture. One leeks plus a bite of roasted lamb leg are a perfect match and taste even better.

When I had almost finished eating the roasted lamb leg and got up to pay the bill, I found that the beautiful woman on the roadside had left at some point.

"I don't know if it's the high-speed train attendant or the airplane attendant."

"Come to think of it, I've never been on a plane in my life."

After paying the bill, I touched my belly and felt a little full.

This would be his first time visiting the night market in this area, so he planned to take a walk and help digest his food.

After walking around, I saw someone selling grilled squid skewers, so I went over and bought some for ten dollars.

On the way back, Zhou Qing, who felt that he had a great meal tonight, thought that it was almost time for him to celebrate alone, so he started thinking about the third round of reading on the way.

"My main goal now is to improve my skills!"

"To master the technique, one must be at least very demanding. At the very least, one must read a long and intensive text. During this process, one will inevitably 'drop' some items that were previously acquired in reality. However, my primary goal is to master the technique."

"Judging from the Huangjing (Chinese ginseng root) I won in Journey to the West, 'My Power of Thought' might actually have some effect on the panel. I had previously suggested to myself that I would win 'Peaches, Ginseng Fruit, Golden Pill, and other edible items.' Although I didn't win the peaches, ginseng fruit, or golden pill in the end, the Huangjing (Chinese ginseng root) is indeed edible."

"I'd planned to do a third round of reading, choosing ten long novels to read through completely as a reserve for the next ten long novels to be read in depth. This was a good opportunity to test the specific effects of 'My Power of Thought'. Before each random selection, I'd hint at the general genre of 'Martial Arts and Fairy Tales'!"

Pass the security post at the gate and enter the Rongdonghai community.

The greening in the basement of the community is well done. As soon as you walk in, you are surrounded by green plants, which makes you feel better. After walking a few steps, you reach the bottom of the building. Seeing that there is no one in the pavilion over there, you go over and sit down on the wooden bench.

Anyway, he would be alone going upstairs to his residence, and it was cool in the pavilion, so he planned to start his third round of reading here.

After calling out the panel, I didn't rush to make a choice. Instead, I closed my eyes, enjoying the breeze that blew from time to time, while reminding myself: This time I will choose a long novel to read, and I must choose a martial arts or fairy tale novel!
After three minutes, open your eyes, "stare" at the "Reading" option on the panel, and think: choose to read the whole article.

The next moment, the panel changed——

Name: Zhou Qing

Currently reading: Old Goriot [Balzac, translated by Fu Lei]

Cumulative number of draws: None

Extractable items: a piece of Polygonatum odoratum, a bus, an entry-level astronomical telescope... a bottle of Quaalude, etc.

……

Although he was not "seeing" the panel with his naked eyes, his eyes could not help but widen subconsciously after "seeing" that the next randomly selected novel was "Old Goriot" by the famous French writer Balzac.

He immediately picked up his phone to search.

This is a story about an old man in France in 1819 who poured all his love into his two daughters...but in the end his love was easily defeated by money.

"This is really quite different from the Xianxia and Wuxia genres!"

Zhou Qing touched the back of his head and accepted the result with a smile - the power of my thinking is only to increase the probability of what I want, it is definitely impossible to get it right every time.

"It's only 150,000 words, and you can finish it in two days."

"Come to think of it, this is my first foreign novel."

He retracted the panel and used his phone to order the physical book on the shopping website. After paying, he stood up and decided to go back upstairs to buy the electronic version with his tablet computer and finish reading this foreign novel quickly so that he could continue to use the power of suggestion to choose the genre of fairy tales and martial arts.

I came out of the pavilion, entered the mezzanine floor, and came to the elevator entrance. Just as I was about to press the elevator button, I found that the elevator stopped on the 19th floor where I lived. Before I pressed the button, it showed down.

"Someone came down from the nineteenth floor."

Such a thought flashed through Zhou Qing's mind, but he still pressed the button.

He glanced at the elevator on the left again, which was on the 28th floor, and pressed the button.

After all, the elevator here is faster.

Take the elevator on the right to the first floor, wait a second, the door opens, and a beautiful stewardess wearing a plain water-patterned cheongsam and black stockings, a gray suit, a shoulder bag on one hand, a suitcase in the other, and delicate makeup, walks out.

The other party was very polite. When he saw Zhou Qing, he smiled and nodded at him.

When she smiles, her neat white teeth are exposed, which is quite friendly.

Zhou Qing was quite surprised.

This flight attendant turned out to be the one who was threatened on the roadside and cried before!

She came down from the 19th floor, so she is... a neighbor?
　Fellow Taoists, we have to compete for the Sanjiang quota. You must come to catch up in the next seven days. Please help us!

　　There is a new month coming soon, please vote for me!
