Chapter 111 Don’t do this to your Uncle Shen (5k)

Shen Cheng vaguely guessed something, got up and left the living room and went outside.

Xiao Qingque is secretly replacing Yan Qiuli's cards.

Her playing cards are as bad as her character.

Shen Cheng waited for a while and finally Pei Mu came down from the second floor.

As soon as the two looked at each other, Pei Mu knew that Shen Cheng had discovered something.

He explained helplessly: "Wait a minute, the child will ask to go with me, and I will have to take the initiative."

From this sentence, Shen Cheng could tell how dangerous this trip tonight was.

He wondered, "Why don't you just not tell her there's danger?"

Why just knock someone out?

Pei Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Her divination is already very good. She can tell if there is any danger at once. If she sneaks over without telling me, it will be even more dangerous."

His smile was somewhat helpless, but more so, it was vaguely full of pride, like an old father showing off his daughter's good grades.

Shen Cheng nodded and didn't say anything more. After all, this was someone else's family matter.

It was almost time to set off. Shen Cheng turned his head and looked at Xiao Qingque: "Do you want to stay here? Or go back to the base?"

We might encounter unknown enemies or unknown risks tonight, so it is not a good idea to bring her with me.

Xiao Qingque's eyes lit up. She had thought she would have to work for Shen Cheng all night, but she didn't expect to have a chance to rest.

But before she could speak, Pei Mu suddenly said, "Let her follow. It will be helpful to you."

Shen Cheng turned his head to look at Pei Mu, and met his gentle eyes.

Don't agree! Don't agree!
Xiao Qingque screamed in his heart.

"Row!"

Shen Cheng suddenly nodded: "Let her go with us."

Do not!
Xiao Qingque let out a scream in his heart.

The opportunity to slack off was gone.

She looked at Pei Mu as if he were a class enemy, and cursed him in her heart, saying that there would be no seasoning packets when she bought instant noodles, the price of vegetables in the market would go up, and there would be no toilet paper when she took a shit.

Pei Mu pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers and pretended not to see it.

It was almost time, Pei Mu closed the shop and prepared to set off with Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque.

The destination is not in Tailing City, but in a neighboring city, which can be reached by car in about an hour.

Pei Mu originally wanted to drive there himself, but Shen Cheng said there was a better means of transportation.

He turned his head and gave Xiao Qingque a look. Xiao Qingque silently used the blood control technique to create a giant eagle. She now felt like a cow or a horse. She had to pull people everywhere tonight and couldn't even rest.

The knowledgeable Pei Mu was not surprised by this. Instead, he was quite interested and even studied the giant eagle.

The three of them sat on the eagle's back and flew high into the sky in the night.

"Because the Stargazing Club does not allow outsiders, you can't just follow me in."

On the eagle's back, Pei Mu explained to Shen Cheng: "I will recommend you to participate in the assessment of the Stargazing Club. It won't take too long. After you pass it, you can join me."

Shen Cheng didn't expect that he would need to do some questions: "What if we fail the test?"

Pei Mu was more confident than him: "Don't worry, you will get through it."

Shen Cheng suspected that he was going to open a back door for himself and Xiao Qingque.

Although he had no interest in joining the stargazing club, he was very curious about this mysterious organization.

At first glance, this club seems to be just a gathering of astronomy enthusiasts, but no information about it can be found on the Internet.

The purpose is unknown, the goal is unknown, and the management is still very strict.

And its members are actually heavyweights like Tianxuanxing and Pei Mu. When the memory messenger Phalaenopsis took Shen Cheng to spy on the world's various secrets, the Stargazing Club appeared together with other mysterious organizations.

All signs indicate that this club is not simple at all.

The giant eagle flies extremely fast, far faster than real creatures, and it doesn't need to follow roads. A journey that would normally take more than an hour can be completed in just twenty minutes.

Under Pei Mu's command, the three landed in a remote manor on the outskirts of a neighboring city.

This is the retreat of an important member of the Stargazing Club. It is also the club's activity venue in several nearby cities, where gatherings are held regularly.

A uniformed servant was waiting outside the gate of the manor. When he saw Pei Mu and his men descending from the sky, he did not show any surprise.

He walked up and bowed slightly: "Mr. Pei, the other guests are waiting for you."

Pei Mu nodded, then introduced Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque: "These two are my friends, and they just happened to be here to take part in the club's assessment. Please make some arrangements for them."

"Okay, Mr. Pei, I'll make arrangements for the two distinguished guests right away."

Pei Mu then turned to Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque and said, "I'll go in first, come find me after you pass the test."

Shen Cheng nodded and watched Pei Mu walk into the manor alone.

The servant raised his hand slightly and made an invitation gesture: "You two, please follow me."

After entering the manor, the servant did not lead the two people through the main gate. Instead, he took a detour and brought them to another gate.

Along the way, Shen Cheng discovered that there were many guards hiding in the manor, and these guards were not slacking off or deserting their duties.

Either they are extremely disciplined or they know there will be danger tonight.

The servant opened the door in front of them and said, "You two can go in from here. The examiner is waiting for you inside. The examination will start at any time. Please pay attention."

It was pitch black inside the gate and I couldn't see anything.

Xiao Qingque didn't like this unknown dark environment, but seeing that Shen Cheng had already gone in, she had no choice but to follow.

The servant stood outside and closed the door. The lights inside immediately lit up. What came into Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque's eyes was not an examination room, but a large exhibition hall.

Various exhibits are placed in the glass display cabinets, and the styles are not uniform. There are historical relics, works of art, handicrafts, folk customs, religion, technology, and even natural landscapes.

If the servant's words had not been still ringing in their ears, Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque would have thought they had accidentally entered a large collection museum.

The two continued to walk inside, and a golden Buddha statue appeared before them.

Xiao Qingque clasped his hands together and bowed his head.

Although she didn't know whether she, a vampire, could get blessings by praying to Buddha and God, at least she was very serious about it.

Turning his head and seeing Shen Cheng standing aside indifferently, Xiao Qingque asked curiously: "Aren't you going to bow?"

Shen Cheng shook his head: "It's feudal superstition, there's nothing to worship."

He has always kept his distance from religion. Even if there are gods in this world, he will not pray for their protection, and the gods will not blame him for not worshiping them. Otherwise, there would be only believers left in this world.

Xiao Qingque admired Shen Cheng for being so brave. Anyway, she always had a bit of awe towards these mystical things - to put it bluntly, she was a coward!
The two continued to walk inside, and another statue appeared, it was the God of Wealth.

Xiao Qingque was about to walk around when he saw Shen Cheng clasping his hands together and bowing deeply to the statue of the God of Wealth.

Xiao Qingque: ▃?

She was numb: "Aren't you talking about feudal superstition?"

"I'm not superstitious."

Shen Cheng stood up and explained, "I just believe in it a little bit, it can't be considered superstition."

Xiao Qingque curled his lips in a disdainful expression. "You are clearly just after the money. You are so arrogant at first but so servile later, and you still want to be a knight-errant. Bah."

She complained fiercely in her heart, then put her hands together and performed a greater salute to the God of Wealth than Shen Cheng did.

The two continued to walk inside, passing through the entire collection hall. The lights around them gradually dimmed, but the lights above their heads slowly brightened, and a little faint light appeared.

These faint lights became more and more numerous, gathering together and becoming brighter until they covered the entire top of the head.

An extremely vast and beautiful starry sky appeared before their eyes.

Xiao Qingque looked up and was almost stunned, unwilling to look away for a long time.

The starry sky is sometimes dull and ordinary, but sometimes it can give people a shock that goes straight to the heart.

Xiao Qingque looked for a long time, and when she lowered her head, she found that Shen Cheng beside her was gone, and even the way they came was gone.

"Holy crap, is it haunted?"

Xiao Qingque was startled and quickly began to call Shen Cheng's name loudly, but her voice went far away and received no response.

Under this vast starry sky, she was alone, as if she was abandoned by the whole world.

However, Xiao Qingque quickly calmed down because she remembered what the servant had just said, that the assessment might have started without her knowing.

This may be the content of some kind of assessment.

Xiao Qingque didn't dare to run around and could only stand there quietly.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind him. Xiao Qingque thought it was Shen Cheng, so he quickly turned around and looked back.

The next second, she froze in place.

She saw two people appear behind her, one was Shen Cheng, and the other was actually her mother.

The mother held Shen Cheng's hand and looked at him with her face slightly sideways. The two of them smiled sweetly, like a couple in love. Xiao Qingque was dumbfounded: "You, you guys..."

Shen Cheng looked at her and said with a smile: "From now on, we will talk about our own things. You call me dad and I call you sister Que."

"My sister, what the hell!"

Even though Xiao Qingque usually submitted to Shen Cheng's tyranny, he became furious at this moment.

It’s okay if you just curse “fuck your mother” normally, but do you really mean it?

The furious Xiao Qingque rushed towards Shen Cheng, but Du Haijing suddenly opened his hands, blocked Xiao Qingque's way, and shouted: "Qingque, don't do this to your Uncle Shen."

Xiao Qingque:

No! !

It's fine if I'm bullied by him, but I don't want to be his daughter! !

Just when Xiao Qingque was so angry that his eyes turned red and his expression was distorted, a familiar voice faintly sounded in his ears.

"Wake up!"

Xiao Qingque seemed not to hear it and continued to stare at Shen Cheng.

Snapped!
The next second, she felt the familiar pain in her butt.

"what!"

Xiao Qingque covered her butt with both hands, subconsciously turned around and shouted to Shen Cheng: "Why did you hit me?!"

Then she was stunned and found that Shen Cheng appeared behind her.

She quickly looked back and found that the other Shen Cheng and her mother had disappeared. Behind them was the place where the two had just walked in from the collection hall.

Shen Cheng stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her: "Are you hallucinating?"

After arriving at this place, he felt that some kind of spiritual force was influencing him, but he was immune to it.

When he turned around, he found that Xiao Qingque was in a hallucination and could not be woken up no matter how he shouted. He could only give her a slap in the face of love.

I have to say, the feel is really getting better and better. Could it be that slapping can promote secondary development?

"Yes, yes, yes! I am indeed hallucinating!"

Xiao Qingque finally reacted, covered his chest with his hands, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I said, that kind of thing would never happen."

Shen Cheng asked curiously: "What did you see in your hallucination?"

Xiao Qingque didn't want to answer this question at all.

After all, her mother is still charming, and Shen Cheng is handsome and young, so it is not impossible for the two of them to be together.

The theme of a small horse pulling a big cart is a long-lasting one in pornographic literature.

Xiao Qingque had already been bullied by her mother and Shen Cheng. If these two were to be bullied together, she might as well delete her account and start over.

Seeing that Xiao Qingque was hesitant and unwilling to say anything, Shen Cheng did not ask any further questions.

This should be considered as part of the assessment, but it is not over yet because I haven’t even met the examiner.

Continue walking forward, and the vast starry sky above your head gradually disappears.

A door appeared in front of the two.

Shen Cheng pushed the door open with Xiao Qingque, and what came into view was a brightly lit room.

In the middle of the room stood a black table that looked a bit like a gambling table, and opposite the table sat a man in his thirties, wearing a uniform and a top hat.

When he saw the two people coming in, he took off his hat and greeted them.

"Good evening, everyone. I am your examiner. Please take a seat."

Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque looked at each other, then sat down on the two chairs in front of the table together.

"The fact that you two are here means that you have passed the mental assessment. Please forgive me if this causes any discomfort to you. Next..."

The examiner pulled out a deck of playing cards and said, "Just play a round of cards with me and beat me."

Shen Cheng finally understood why Pei Mu wanted to bring Xiao Qingque with him. Who would have thought that this assessment would include a card-playing session.

He frowned and said, "Can gambling be considered an assessment?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood."

The examiner raised a finger and shook it: "Gambling and playing cards are two different things. Please don't underestimate playing cards, because playing cards can exercise a person's thinking and logical abilities."

"well said."

Before Shen Cheng opened his mouth, Xiao Qingque couldn't help but interrupt.

Normally when she played cards, Shen Cheng always complained that she was not doing her job properly and wasting time. Now it was rare to see someone so sure about the benefits of playing cards, it would be strange if she was not excited.

She even glanced at Shen Cheng with pride - you see, playing cards is not a way for me to be idle, but a way for me to exercise my thinking and logical abilities.

Shen Cheng had nothing to say. After all, he now had to rely on Xiao Qingque to defeat the examiner.

"give it to you."

"Hey, it's very simple. I can solve it in no time."

Xiao Qingque raised his hand and hooked his finger at the examiner in front of him: "Come over here."

"From the look in your eyes, I can see that you are proficient in this."

The examiner praised him and started dealing cards to Xiao Qingque.

Shen Cheng just sat aside and watched, not worried that Xiao Qingque would lose.

We have known each other for so long that I can summarize Xiao Qingque’s simple life with a diary.

February 2: Playing cards.

February 2: Playing cards all night.

February 2: 7 minutes of coding, hours of playing cards

February 2: Xiao Qingque, oh Xiao Qingque, how could you be so depraved? Have you forgotten the writing plan you made before? This cannot go on!
February 2: Playing cards.

As a veteran card player who has been working on the chess and card platform for many years, Xiao Qingque's fighting ability in playing cards is unquestionable.

Three minutes later, Shen Cheng looked at her in shock, unable to believe it: "You lost?"

Xiao Qingque looked embarrassed: "Victory and defeat are common in the military, and losing is normal."

"No."

Shen Cheng almost choked up: "You stay at home playing cards all night every day, and now you tell me that you lost?"

Xiao Qingque lowered his head, lightly touching his two index fingers together, and explained in a low voice: "My liking to play cards is different from my card skills. No one stipulates that people who like to play cards must be good at playing cards."

That’s right, Xiao Qingque is the legendary green-handed but playful guy.

She is addicted to playing cards, but her card skills are very poor, and her nickname on the platform is "The Points-Giving Boy".

Fortunately, she only plays cards and doesn't gamble, otherwise she would have gone bankrupt long ago.

After hearing Xiao Qingque's explanation, Shen Cheng looked at her with a dangerous look in his eyes: "Why did you look so confident just now?"

Xiao Qingque was sweating profusely and looked away guiltily.

You have to have confidence when playing cards. If you are sure that you will lose from the beginning, you will definitely lose.

But she didn't dare explain to Shen Cheng, for fear of being hung up and beaten by him on the spot.

The examiner smiled and said, "You two should go back and practice your card skills. Come back next time if you have the chance."

He also didn't expect that this woman, who seemed to him to be under a lot of pressure, was actually a rookie. It was true that one cannot judge a person by his appearance.

After hearing this, Shen Cheng was not anxious yet, but Xiao Qingque became anxious first.

"Wait a minute, do you understand the rules of the poker table? It's not like you can just play one round and then end it."

Xiao Qingque put his hands on the table and said loudly, "Let's play another round. You coward, you're not going to run away just because you win, are you?"

"Who are you calling a coward?"

The examiner chuckled and didn't take Xiao Qingque seriously at all: "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. I will make you admit defeat sincerely in a best-of-five game."

It's not easy to meet such a rookie who is weak in appearance but stubborn in words. Shouldn't I give him a good beating?
"Come on, who's afraid of who?"

Xiao Qingque rolled up his sleeves, full of fighting spirit: "Which child cries every day? Which gambler loses every day? I don't believe I can't beat you."

Shen Cheng had lost all hope and even began to doubt the accuracy of Pei Mu's divination. Didn't he say that Xiao Qingque could help me?
Is it a hindrance?

The second game started soon, but again to Shen Cheng's surprise, Xiao Qingque actually won.

"Hahaha, you're nothing but that!"

The victorious Xiao Qingque directly confronted the examiner: "How dare you be our examiner with your level? Go back and practice for a few more years."

The examiner's face was a little grim: "We agreed to play best of three games. This is only the second game. Why are you opening champagne in this half?"

Xiao Qingque put his hands on his hips and said, "Just keep talking tough. I'll let you know that talking tough won't change your ending."
