Chapter 8, Making Friends

At once, Zhou Gang's heart became heavy with seriousness

Chen Hao took a deep breath, secretly resolved to work hard on his tasks, striving to attain enlightenment as soon as possible. Only in this way could he become a true master, relying on spiritual awakening to achieve wealth and prosperity

Caller ID shows Wang Jie, and the text message was also sent by Wang Jie; this is indeed the direct superior

I am in trouble, I have been preoccupied with tasks and rituals, and I forgot that I still have to go to work. Speaking of which, I skipped work for a whole day yesterday, and then today...

Chen Hao's mouth twitched

Zhou Gang twitched the corner of his mouth, rendered speechless.

Chen Hao immediately burst into laughter

It feels quite out of place for a police officer to say these things

However, upon closer inspection, one can discern the extraordinary nature of this jade Buddha. The sense of vitality it exudes gives him the impression that this jade Buddha is almost alive.

It's over, there is no hope left

Chen Hao moved away from his phone, and after the shouting had subsided, he finally spoke into the phone: "Sister Wang, I apologize, I encountered a bit of a situation, so..."

On the mobile interface, there were more than thirty missed calls and over a dozen text messages. Upon seeing the names, Chen Hao's mouth twitched slightly, realizing that something was amiss

Chen Hao suddenly realized and then sighed inwardly; there is not a single person who has successfully risen within the system without facing challenges. Someone like him, an outsider, need not worry so much.

The value of an item cannot always be assessed solely based on its intrinsic rarity

Chen Hao looked at the sky, his face filled with despair

Chen Hao said: "No matter how much commotion there is, this achievement is undeniably real, and it cannot possibly be wrong, can it?"

Moreover, having witnessed Chen Hao's remarkable abilities, Zhou Gang was completely convinced that this extraordinary individual was undoubtedly a person of great significance, who would provide crucial assistance to his future.

Chen Hao laughed and said, "What? After achieving such great merit, Brother Zhou is surprisingly so idle?"

Chen Hao agreed

Slowly, Chen Hao recalled what he had been doing before falling into a deep sleep, and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh: "Indeed, without proper skills, one cannot succeed; using mental energy to perform a spiritual illumination is too taxing on the body"

Ah!

Just like this jade Buddha, Zhou Gang knows that the intrinsic value may be quite low, at most only a few hundred yuan

It seems that this relatively good job is about to come to an end

Oh, my head hurts

However, in this world, money is not everything, and connections cannot be measured by their value

Brother Zhou, you are being too polite. The toy for my niece is just a cheap item, not worth much, so there is no need for such courtesy. Hmm, hasn't my sister-in-law returned yet? Little brother hasn't eaten since yesterday, and I'm already very hungry.

Chen Hao said: "For example, places where people have died and are said to be haunted, places that are rumored to be unclean"

After speaking, Zhou Gang took out a plate of oranges for Chen Hao

Very well, with the assistance of the Ghost Assistance System, this ordinary job has lost its significance, perhaps this is indeed an opportunity for liberation

Zhou Gang said: "Of course there is, your sister-in-law has already gone to buy groceries. You should come over now, and we can have a good drink together."

After hanging up the phone, I first took a shower and changed into a fresh set of clothes, then I left the house with two magical artifacts.

Hehe, I was just about to call my younger brother, but I didn't expect you to call first. What a telepathic connection we have. As soon as the call was connected, Zhou Gang spoke with a smile.

Oh, so many missed calls

Having committed this crime, I obtained two legal instruments, which was worthwhile

"Do not tell me that someone in your family has passed away, and do not say that you have offended someone or that you have been bullied; this is not a television drama. Chen Hao, if you do not want to go to work, just resign, and I guarantee I will approve it. Do not bring the bad habits you developed in school to the company." Sister Wang continued to roar, and then without saying another word, she hung up.

It was almost immediately connected with a sound, and then a woman's voice roared over.

Brother Zhou, I have prepared the things for my little niece. Do you have time? I can deliver them over.

Chen Hao picked up his phone and dialed a number

Zhou Gang said irritably: "At that moment, I acted impulsively; you have no idea how much commotion this caused, the upper echelons are in fierce contention over it"

Such a remarkable person, if a friendship is damaged due to some superficial politeness, it would be truly regrettable

Zhou Gang did not hide it either, laughing as he said: "There is definitely no mistake, it is likely that I will be promoted one level higher, but good things cannot be monopolized; we must share the benefits fairly."

Truly eloquent, as expected from someone who has navigated within the system

Zhou Gang chuckled and said, "Then let's start with some fruit. These are homegrown oranges brought from your sister-in-law's family, naturally organic and rich in nutrients"

Zhou Gang was not polite; he took it over and gave it a brief glance, his eyes revealing surprise

However, after observing Chen Hao's relaxed and carefree expression, completely disregarding himself as an outsider, Zhou Gang thought for a moment and ultimately decided to give up

While eating and chatting, Chen Hao suddenly shifted his gaze and asked, "Brother, you are a police officer, well-informed and experienced. I wonder if you could introduce some special places to me."

Chen Hao was also unreserved, peeling it and eating it immediately

"Here, this is what I have prepared for my niece. Let her wear it, and just make sure she doesn't take it off easily." Chen Hao took out the jade Buddha he had prepared and handed it to Zhou Gang

Chen Hao, what is the matter with you? Do you think you are still in school, and that you still have weekends off?

Chen Hao continued, "Brother, do not doubt me. I am not up to any mischief; I simply wish to accumulate some merit. In this day and age, cultivation is not easy, and it primarily relies on merit to enhance one's spiritual practice. Since you have just come out into the world, you cannot just waste your days like this. Otherwise, you will achieve nothing in the future, and that would be a great embarrassment to our ancestors."

Half an hour later, Chen Hao arrived at the residential community where Zhou Gang lived. As soon as he knocked on the door, Zhou Gang opened it to greet him, smiling warmly as if they were truly family, a stark contrast to the treatment he received the first time.

With a firm rub of his occiput, Chen Hao sat up and looked around.

Sighing, Chen Hao got out of bed and picked up two items that seemed to have gained a spirit after being consecrated. No matter how he looked at them, he liked them more and more, and a trace of entanglement in his heart also dissipated.

Zhou Gang felt the heat in his hands and was eager to make the payment

With his keen eyesight, he immediately sensed that this jade Buddha was not made of real jade

Outside the window, it is bright, and it seems that it is almost noon. My stomach is growling, clearly having been awakened by hunger

When Chen Hao woke up in a daze, he felt as if someone had struck him on the back of the head with a stick, a heavy and painful sensation that made his expression somewhat contorted

Chen Hao looked utterly speechless

Afterward, Chen Hao habitually picked up his phone and opened it, and was immediately startled.

Zhou Gang was taken aback and asked, "What is so special about it?"

However, with this dynamic feeling and the magical effect revealed by Chen Hao, the value of this jade Buddha can immediately increase a hundredfold, perhaps even becoming priceless.

"Then, I won't be polite, brother. Thank you on behalf of my daughter," Zhou Gang said earnestly

Hastily, Chen Hao opened his phone and returned the call to Sister Wang

Although a consecrated ritual implement is extremely precious, having been obtained at the cost of one's life, giving it away so easily feels too cheap
