It's just a grocery store.

Chapter 17 The commission finally went through the normal process

I woke up slowly at midnight the next morning. The first thing I did was to check the time on my phone. There was still half an hour before the commission was due, so I was safe.

He jumped out of bed at midnight, leaped two meters to the edge of the bed, and then went to wash up tremblingly.

Following the system's navigation, I arrived at the client's door at exactly midnight and rang the doorbell.

The housekeeper who came to open the door was stunned for a moment. It turned out that the person behind the door was disguised as a homeless person.

Before the housekeeper could say anything, the gardener who saw the scene shouted to drive them away.

"Where did you come from, you stinky beggar? Get out of here, or you'll have something bad happen to you."

Ling Shi was not a dumb person who would suffer a loss, so he immediately made a statement.

"If you chase me away and start fighting, your master won't be able to invite me back anymore!"

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper knew the identity of the sloppy guy in front of him. He rang the doorbell at the appointed time and claimed to be the host's guest.

The gardener wanted to curse back, but the housekeeper coldly rebuked him:

"Go back to your job and don't do anything extra!"

Although the gardener did not understand, he had to leave in disappointment because of the housekeeper's great power.

The butler bowed and invited Lingshi in, but Lingshi didn't move at all, just looked up.

Ling Shi was still not satisfied. Don’t think he didn’t see that the gardener glared at him before leaving. I will definitely take revenge!

Seeing that the nobleman had a bad temper, the housekeeper could only blame the nosy gardener in his heart, but on the surface he still tried to coax him in a gentle tone.

"Sir, the master has been waiting for you for a long time. The gardener just now came for an interview. He will be notified to leave later."

He fired the guy straight away. What a straightforward housekeeper! Ling Shi was secretly amazed. He had originally planned to just have that guy's salary deducted.

Now that's good, people just quit their jobs right away. Fortunately, Lingshi has no morals and doesn't think there's anything wrong with him at all.

Ling Shi gave the housekeeper face, thinking that he still valued himself, so he got up from the ground and patted his clothes.

Zero Hour: "Let's go in and see your master."

Seeing that he was willing to get up, the butler quickly agreed to lead the way.

The house is not small, and this family is considered wealthy, so they will definitely make a fortune.

The butler led Lingshi to the innermost room on the second floor. He knocked on the door and heard Yunnuo's voice from inside.

The butler opened the door and let Dao Ge Lingshi in, then he closed the door and left.

When he entered at midnight, he saw an old man and a little girl lying on the bed. He stood still and did not approach.

The old man turned his head and was surprised for a moment when he saw Lingshi's outfit, but then he immediately regained his composure. He was probably a man who had seen a lot of ups and downs.

The old man continued to tell his own story, and Lingshi didn't intend to interrupt him, so he let him tell what Lingshi already knew.

The old man started from scratch and finally became rich, but his wife died young and his daughter was so tactless that she fell in love with a gangster. In order to make his daughter realize her mistake, the old man kicked the two out of the house.

The woman did not repent, and was eventually abandoned by the scumbag. The old man wanted to pick her up, but he only saw his granddaughter who was left behind.

The woman had long disappeared, and the baby was left alone at home. If the old man had not gone there, how could the child have survived?

At this point, the old man beat his feet and stamped his chest, appearing to be very emotional.

"I thought, since neither of those two bastards wants her, then I want her. She's my granddaughter!"

"But fate is unfair. My granddaughter got this disease and she won't live for many days."

The old man's eyes were already filled with tears as he looked at the girl on the bed. Lingshi just looked at her, letting the system calculate quietly in his mind.

System: Host, calculation completed, this transaction is worth 15 points and can be borrowed.

At midnight, I interrupted the old man's sorrow.

"So what do you want? Your granddaughter's health, your daughter's return, or retribution for this scumbag?"

The old man looked up. He didn't think about it so much. The most important thing in his heart was the girl in front of him.

"Just let my granddaughter recover her health. I ask for nothing else. She is my last bond."

Zero acted crazy and laughed, offering the old man a deal.

Zero Hour: "Come on, what do you want in exchange?"

Zero Hour: "I can exchange your eyesight, health, and money for anything."

The old man froze in place, feeling as if his worldview had been refreshed. If he hadn't been so eager to save his granddaughter, he would have definitely thought Ling Shi was a liar.

Without waiting for the old man's reaction, Zero Time came up with his own optimal trading equation.

Lingshi: "Old man, please exchange your eyesight for it, plus half of your property, it's just enough~"

After hearing half of the family property, the old man felt that the man was asking for too much, but if he could cure his granddaughter, he would give him all of it.

As for eyesight, the old man looked at his granddaughter and hesitated.

Lingshi was very humane and just explained one of the five senses to him. The old man said:

"Please take away my hearing. I still want to watch her grow up."

Lingshi agreed without hesitation. It was all the same to him anyway.

The transaction process was very simple and crude. He directly swiped away half of the old man's money and then made a fist towards him.

In a place that the old man could not see, a ray of light was taken away at midnight, and the old man felt that he had lost something.

At midnight, he turned around and touched the girl's forehead with his finger. Another ray of light sank into her eyebrows and came out again.

It became much dimmer and was taken back to the system for recycling at zero o'clock.

System: Wow, this virus, host, I will put it in a secret box!

Zero Hour: "Okay, your hearing will probably gradually disappear from now on. I'm leaving now."

The old man couldn't understand the operation of the zero hour, and just as he was about to chase after him, he saw the girl on the bed opened her eyes and was still calling for grandpa.

His granddaughter, who had been given a death notice by the doctor, woke up and was able to speak and call him. The old man excitedly went over to see her.

The girl seemed to have just woken up, and looked at the old man in confusion. When she realized that it was reality, she burst into tears and told him about her nightmare.

"I dreamed that I couldn't wake up and I would never see my grandfather again. It was so scary."

"It's okay, it's okay, grandpa brought you back."

The grandfather and grandson hugged each other and cried bitterly. Lingshi, who had already known about the situation, said that it was a good thing that he ran fast, because he could not stand that kind of scene at all.

And if the granddaughter knew what her grandfather had done for her, she would sigh and feel that the feelings in this world are the most complicated things.

At midnight, I stumbled out of the house and saw the gardener being driven out.

Security guard A: "Hurry up and leave. Don't blame us if you don't leave."

Security guard B: "Don't be so stubborn. The steward told me personally that you've messed with someone important and you can't stay here."

The gardener stared at the things unwillingly, and walked towards the gate with no interest at all. He went out, came in, went out, and came in again.

Despite people's puzzled looks, Lingshi turned his head and smiled at the gardener. The gardener, who refused to leave, was so angry that he left immediately.

Lingshi held his stomach and laughed out loud. This guy was really funny. He refused to leave just now, and now he had to wait for Lingshi to ridicule him before leaving.

Zero Hour: It’s rare for someone to stay and wait for me to come out and mock him, but I feel great~

At midnight, he skipped out of the door without looking back, so naturally he couldn't see the grandfather and grandson looking at him from the second-floor window.

System: Host, they are looking at you and are grateful to you.

Zero Hour: Don’t get involved. I’m not a good person. I’m a businessman who puts profit first.

Taking advantage of this homeless disguise, Zero Time hummed a tune and danced crazily, as if he was taking the opportunity to go crazy.

System: I can’t tell who is the homeless person, him or the homeless person two streets over.
