Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words

"Xuan Li, you know, there's never a shortage of orphans in New Aili. Hollow disasters, gang fights, power struggles, and all kinds of illegal elements fighting for survival are everywhere..."

"So even though many people are making efforts in this regard, orphanages are still far from enough."

"Older children, when they are able to support themselves or don't want to burden the orphanage anymore, will choose to leave."

"Let my younger brothers and sisters live a better life, or make room for other young children and leave them a way to survive."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Hearing these words, Xuan Li's expression was complicated.

Nicole was indeed right, as she told stories about her childhood, she left the orphanage when she was older.

She struggled alone in New Aili and tried many ways to make money, with both success and failure.

It wasn't until Ambi, Billy, and the Rabbit House that things finally settled down a bit...

"Hey, Xuanli, you don't have to have that expression. I'm working hard to improve this!"

Nicole turned around and looked at Xuan Li with a smile on her face.

"In the future, I will expand the orphanage, and then I can provide more children with their first home."

"Speaking of which, the land price here is relatively cheap. Development has been poor to begin with, and there's also a long-standing cavity disaster there."

"Maybe we can build one or two more orphanages."

Nicole is very confident in her inner plan and will not wait too long unless something unexpected happens.

Xuan Li stood aside and thought for a moment before offering his own suggestion.

"In fact, I think building a primary school is more valuable than expanding the orphanage."

"If children in orphanages cannot lead a normal life through education, their future prospects are very limited."

Xuan Li did not hide anything when he spoke. As Nicole listened to him, a thoughtful look appeared on her face and her eyes dimmed a little.

He was right. There were very few future options for children from orphanages.

In her memory, many of her companions died in accidents after becoming cave robbers...

"If they succeed in their studies, they can give back to the orphanage. This virtuous cycle is the only way to achieve a stable future."

After Xuan Li finished speaking, he knew very well that going to school was a luxury and a dream for the children here.

After all, there's no compulsory education here, and all those messy fees...

However, there must always be a goal.

Nicole felt the same way as Xuan Li did. She nodded and mentioned the dean and teacher whom Xuan Li had never met.

"In fact, the Dean and Teacher had the same idea, but he didn't have the ability at that time, so he served as both the Dean and the teacher. That's where the title of Dean and Teacher came from."

"Come to think of it, my ability in business was partly influenced by the dean."

Nicole had a smile on her face. Xuan Li glanced at her. Here, it was easy for her to lose herself in memories.

There's nothing she can do about it, this place holds so many memories for her.

Nicole seemed to have thought of something and her expression became depressed again. Xuan Li noticed this and said at the right time

"By the way, Nicole, Amby and Billy should know what's going on here, right?"

"After all, the Cunning Rabbit House is already so in debt, and internal expenses are also constrained in every way, but they have no objections and still remain steadfast in staying in the Cunning Rabbit House..."

Xuan Li didn't look at Nicole, but just silently focused his gaze on the children in the yard, his tone calm.

He didn't believe that if Nicole was really a greedy and black-hearted boss, Amby and Billy would still support her so much, even if they had to go hungry and their wages were nothing...

The call of "Boss Nicole" was not just a simple name, but a sincere recognition.

Nicole was stunned when she heard this, then she smiled.

"Well... they didn't know about it at first, but it was impossible to keep it secret, and then..."

Nicole's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but feel moist when she thought of the two people in the Cunning Rabbit House and the newly joined Nekomata.

Yes, for so long, Ambi and Billy have been silently supporting her, never saying anything about the comings and goings of funds, and even the new member Nekomata...

Even during the time when she didn't tell them at the beginning, Amby and Billy, who realized the truth, chose to remain silent.

If she hadn't chosen to confess later, the two of them would probably have continued like this.

"I have a great family."

Nicole said softly.

That’s right, in her heart, the Cunning Rabbit House is her home, and the people in the Cunning Rabbit House are her family.

Or rather, from the very beginning when it was named "Gentle House", Nicole already had other thoughts and aspirations in mind.

Xuan Li listened to these words, his eyes gleaming.

As a jack of all trades, Cunning Rabbit House has always ranked among the top three in the forum with the highest rate of negative reviews, and the most frequently mentioned comments are "the entrusted items were damaged" and "the damage caused exceeded the necessity".

Is it really because the Cunning Rabbit House lacks the ability?

There is no need to say much about Ambi's skills, and Billy, who has strong combat capabilities, is able to handle most of the commissions as long as there is enough ammunition.

It's not a lack of ability, nor is it carelessness. So many negative reviews can only mean one thing.

In Nicole's eyes, no matter what it was, even Dinny's commission fee was far less important than her companions.

It was only because Nicole tried her best to avoid Ambi and Billy from taking risks and not wanting them to get hurt that the entrusted items were damaged.

Nicole's emotions are often not expressed easily, but you can see them everywhere.

A responsible "leader".

A girl full of "hope".

"Nicole, what's going on with that kid?"

The children in the yard were all playing, but Xuan Li's eyes fell on a little girl who looked a little lonely in the corner.

He noticed this child while eating. She seemed to be a little eccentric, and he didn't see other children bullying her. It seemed that she was doing so on her own initiative.

"She..."

Nicole raised her head and saw who Xuanli was talking about. She sighed with mixed emotions.

"Her name is Pesci, and she's also a member of the orphanage. However... she's a little precocious and has a somewhat closed personality. Although she doesn't cause any trouble for others, others can't easily approach her."

“Over time, it became what it is today.”

Nicole looked into Xuanli's eyes and explained softly:

"Xuan Li, she's different from me and all the other kids here. Nicole was the name given to me by the dean, but Pei Xi is different. This name was given to her by her parents..."
