Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1089 - 530: Professional Match
Qin Huai logically believed in Gong Liang's judgment, but only logically. Regardless of which generation the spirit is, there's always something a bit extraordinary about it, but if we were to judge based solely on this aspect, many people wouldn't seem human.
For example, Ouyang.
Qin Huai has always firmly believed that if one day the game system gave him a task related to Ouyang's wishes, he wouldn't be surprised, but it hasn't happened.
It seems the guy really is human.
Though he appears much less human than An Youyou.
Zhou Hu, through Gong Liang's analysis, also doesn't seem human, but what if? What if he's just a funeral industry worker who loves fortune-telling and also enjoys pulling small scams to earn some illegal cash?
As an outstanding system novel protagonist, Qin Huai feels one shouldn't worry about things that haven't happened. If Zhou Hu is indeed a spirit, then dealing with Zhou Hu should come after unlocking the Zhou Hu's illustration bar and discovering his side quests.
Qin Huai isn't currently in a taskless gap period; he has several tasks queued up waiting for him to complete.
The skill level in yeast is there, eagerly waiting for him to brush up on it.
"There's a possibility." Qin Huai first agreed with Gong Liang's finding. "Although I have Zhou Hu's WeChat, I don't have much interaction with him. Plus, given my current status, unless I need a funeral planning scheme, it's hard to closely contact Zhou Hu. The situation regarding Zhou Hu might require a lot more effort..."
Before Qin Huai finished speaking, Gong Liang smiled slightly, exuding a confident demeanor.
Gong Liang rarely showed this expression before; relatively speaking, Gong Liang's emotions have always been more outward. Qin Huai thinks it might be because Gong Liang has interacted too much with Cheng Gong recently and got influenced.
Honestly, this expression is quite pretentious.
"I've already found out."
Hearing Gong Liang say this, combined with Gong Liang's expression, Luo Jun instantly felt displeased. He already couldn't stand Cheng Gong, and now Gong Liang seemed like a mini Cheng Gong, causing Luo Jun's displeasure to escalate, reaching a point where he wished he could stuff two more mooncakes in his mouth.
"You've found out? How did you find out? Did you add Zhou Hu on WeChat? Do you have contact with Zhou Hu every day, and does Zhou Hu come to your house every day to introduce new drama troupes to you?" Luo Jun teased, "What do you mean you've found out? If anyone should find out, it should be me!"
Qin Huai: ... Bi Fang, let's not argue over who's doing the inquiries at this moment.
Qin Huai finds that sometimes Luo Jun's competitiveness can be maddeningly strong.
"Of course I didn't ask Zhou Hu directly, and I don't have his contact information," Gong Liang said with a smile. "These days, I've been chatting with Xu Tuqiang over a few plates of snacks."
"Mr. Xu?" Upon hearing this, Qin Huai reacted, "After I talked about the situation at the neighborhood entrance that night, you, Mr. Gong, noticed it? So, you specifically inquired Mr. Xu about Zhou Hu to arrive at today's judgment, right?"
Gong Liang nodded, subtly showing a hint of pride.
Upon hearing Qin Huai's words, Luo Jun was a bit displeased but said nothing. Skills being inferior, Gong Liang taking the lead to discover and act, he didn't have much to say.
"So, what's the situation with Xiao Zhou? Are their foxes good at fortune-telling? How's the skill level? If the skill level is good, I'd also want Xiao Zhou to do fortune-telling for me, to see if my Huihui can get into a key junior high." Chen Huihong became interested.
She and Zhao Cheng'an, realizing Gong Liang was talking about serious matters, quickly finished eating durian and ran out from the kitchen, being very supportive.
Qin Huai: ... Sister Hong, rather than having Zhou Hu tell fortunes, you might as well hire a few more tutors for Huihui. In this aspect, I recommend Gong Liang. The tutors he knows are of high quality, widely praised.
Zhao Cheng'an had been mentally absent for a while; suddenly awakened by Chen Huihong's loud voice, he was momentarily bewildered and asked, "Key junior high? What key junior high? Who wants to go to key junior high?"
Shi Dadan kindly handed Zhao Cheng'an a banana, signaling him not to speak, just eat. At times like this, NPCs with their background should remain silent.
Ignoring the two disruptors, Gong Liang continued, "According to my judgment, Zhou Hu should be a spirit in his final lifetime. If he really is a fox, his current profession and spirit attributes are overly compatible, leading me to suspect his profession, or rather his family background, might be heaven's last straw for him."
"Zhou Hu is a native of Shan City. His family is ancestrally renowned for Feng Shui and fortune-telling. His grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather were all well-known local Feng Shui Masters. It's said that his great-great-grandfather once advised on Feng Shui for numerous dignitaries, most famously selecting a grave site for the deceased wife of a wealthy youth surnamed Luo, earning 30 gold bars as a reward."
Everyone: !
Luo Jun: ...
"Luo Jun, it's fate! You and Xiao Zhou were connected long ago. His great-great-grandfather chose a burial site for your wife, and now Xiao Zhou is planning your funeral. Truly, it's fate!" Chen Huihong exclaimed.
Luo Jun: ...
Luo Jun gave Chen Huihong a fierce glare, gritting his teeth, "Chen Huihong, if you don't want to listen, you can leave."
Ignoring Luo Jun, Chen Huihong eagerly asked Gong Liang, "And then? Go on, Gong Liang."
"This matter is very famous in Zhou Hu's client circle, as it was the reason the Zhou Family prospered. Zhou Hu's great-great-grandfather used those 30 gold bars to buy a large piece of land and became a landlord. However, due to policy reasons, the Zhou Family's newfound wealth didn't last long, and their dual status as landlords and Feng Shui Masters led to their downfall."
