**[Symptom: Rebellious Personality (Mix)]**
**[Manifestation: A combination of rebellious personality and contrarian personality, possessing a strong sense of resistance, saying no to everything others say, starting with denying family members and eventually denying the entire world. During the personality fusion process, the host often exhibits negative emotions such as bloodlust, brutality, and anger. As the degree of personality fusion increases, these negative emotions become more severe, potentially leading to behaviors like attacking family members.]**
**[Category: Inferior Ingredient, Repeated Ingredient]**
**[Spirit Enhancement: None]**
**[Note 1: You can consume it to reduce the hunger in your spiritual world, but this inferior ingredient obviously cannot enhance your spiritual strength.]**
…
A few minutes later.
Zhao Yi opened the door.
He stood tall and confident, looking radiant.
Hu Aotian was standing outside smoking a cigar. When he saw Zhao Yi open the door, he was visibly stunned, and then an incredulous look appeared in his eyes.
"Doctor Zhao... you..."
Zhao Yi nodded.
"The treatment is complete, Mr. Hu."
"From today onwards, your child will listen to you unconditionally. He will reject games, reject the second dimension, study diligently, and inherit your business in the future."
Hu Aotian was dumbfounded.
The doctor recommended by the Warehouse Ghost... was this amazing?
Previously, several doctors with some fame in the town had come to their home, but after some effort, they were all devoured by his son!
As a father, Hu Aotian was clearly aware that his son's strength was not weak, and someone of Zhao Yi's level could not possibly contend with him!
Could it be... he was really 'cured'?
With a skeptical heart, Hu Aotian entered the room and saw Hu Liangliang actually swallow the computer whole and start using the desk he used to play games on... to do homework!
Holy cow!
The sun must have risen from the west!
With trembling hands, Hu Aotian patted Hu Liangliang's head, excitedly saying:
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
"Son!"
"You've grown up!"
Hu Liangliang gave a sweet smile.
"Dad, Doctor Zhao is right... From today on, I will study hard to inherit the family business early and share your burden!"
Hu Aotian was too excited to speak, shouting 'good' several times, then warmly pulling Zhao Yi to stay for a meal, but Zhao Yi politely declined.
"About the storefront, does the boss still keep his word?"
Hu Aotian hurriedly said:
"Of course! Of course!"
"Divine Doctor Zhao, if you don't have enough money, you can also take it on credit."
**[Congratulations to Player Zhao Yi, the favorability of 'Changsheng Mall' owner Hu Aotian towards you has increased from 'Indifferent' to 'Like'!]**
Hearing the system prompt, Zhao Yi was slightly surprised.
He didn't expect this ghost, who looked like a fat pig, to value his son so much.
Just by helping his son overcome his rebelliousness, his favorability increased by one level!
But that's good.
There are many unsafe places in Hanging Valley Town, and having one more friend means more security.
Through the system, Zhao Yi contacted the Clown, who transferred 150,000 ghost coins to Zhao Yi, and Zhao Yi began the handover process with Hu Aotian.
Soon, a certain underground shop in Changsheng Mall belonged to the Clown.
The mall's traffic naturally needs no mention.
With so many ghosts in the town, there are only two malls in total.
If the Clown manages the underground mall's shop well, he can quickly earn back the 150,000 ghost coins!
After finishing these tasks, the Clown sent Zhao Yi an email containing the Clown's private collection.
However, this collection requires Zhao Yi to be level 5 to retrieve it.
After everything was done, Zhao Yi returned to the guild's base.
The Clown asked him what kind of shop would be good to open in Hanging Valley Town.
Zhao Yi replied:
"Definitely not a general store, that doesn't make any money."
"You could open a card room, or a board game room, or even a murder mystery game."
"These things make much more money than a general store."
Hearing this, the Clown got excited and invited Zhao Yi to participate in the design, to which Zhao Yi gladly agreed, but he asked the Clown for a 20% share.
The Clown had no reason to refuse.
If it weren't for Zhao Yi, he wouldn't have been able to acquire such a good storefront.
His long-held plan to revitalize the family business... seemed to see a glimmer of hope!
Ever since his father handed him the general store, the Clown had been constantly thinking about revitalizing the family business, but he was bound by rules and couldn't leave the abandoned station.
But now Zhao Yi had gotten him a storefront in Hanging Valley Town.
The rules allowed him to exist there.
As long as the Clown needed, he could appear in Hanging Valley Town at any time, in his own shop.
After some tinkering.
Zhao Yi arrived at the Butcher's shop.
He told the Butcher about Sun Baibai and asked him about Zili Village.
The Butcher's eyes narrowed slightly.
Distant memories slowly surfaced.
"Zili Village is different from Moye Village."
"That village has always been closed off, although the railway was built there, there's no corresponding station."
"The village has always been disconnected from the outside world and doesn't like outsiders visiting."
"However... Baibai's mother, Hong Song, was from Zili Village..."
"When she wanted to marry me, the villagers were a thousand times against it. Later, I eloped with her to Moye Village."
"Later, after Hong Song gave birth to Baibai, she mysteriously disappeared... leaving only a note for me."
"The police searched the entire village but found no trace of Hong Song..."
"It's as if she vanished into thin air..."
Hearing this, Zhao Yi asked:
"Do you still have the note?"
The Butcher nodded, retrieved an old note, and placed it in Zhao Yi's hand.
It contained only three very brief lines.
…
**[Long, all my savings over the years are in the pillow.]**
**[Remember, never... let Baibai near Zili Village!]**
**[Take good care of our daughter!]**
…
Zhao Yi focused on the note and immediately realized that the incident with the D17 train Sun Baibai was on, and her eventual mysterious disappearance, were all inextricably linked to Zili Village!
To find Sun Baibai, he must visit that village.
However, Zhao Yi wasn't planning to go now.
Firstly, he was only level 4, not strong enough.
From the Warehouse Ghost's description, there was definitely unimaginable danger in Zili Village!
He needed to increase his strength.
Secondly, the Tide of Demon Spirits was about to arrive, and Zhao Yi had to stay at the guild's base and couldn't wander around.
"I'll get through the Tide of Demon Spirits first..."
"Then I'll find a way to look for Sun Baibai!"
Zhao Yi put away the note, thinking to himself.
PS: Third update.
Brothers, sorry for being so late, I'll try to write some during the day next time.
There are too many main and side quests in the big world.
But I won't delay anymore, tomorrow the large-scale secret realm of the Tide of Demon Spirits will open directly.
Thanks for your patience, brothers, good night!
