Su Shi did not get involved in what happened afterward, but before leaving, she reminded Holly Clark: "Remember, I'm the one who saved you. My name is Su Shi."
Holly Clark nodded silently, memorizing Sue's appearance.
Doing good deeds anonymously?
What a joke! Nobody does anything without expecting something in return. The only difference is whether it's a material reward or a spiritual one. Su certainly doesn't expect any material reward, but there has to be a spiritual one. You have to remember that I helped you on the 14th, right?
After leaving the police station, Eddie Monroe gave Sue a ride home, then went to find some of his close and harmless friends from the Vinsons to share the incredible news: their illnesses were cured. Cough cough cough… no, the problem that had been troubling them was now solved.
For example, he knew a spider demon who, due to her own condition, had to eat three men every five years, otherwise her body would age rapidly. The friend he knew was only 26 years old, but looked like an 80 or 90-year-old woman.
Because she didn't want to eat people anymore, didn't want to hurt others anymore, and was at the perfect age but could only live as an old woman, who could understand this kind of pain?
How many women want to become old ladies? Especially when they should be young.
Eddie Monroe's first choice was her, even though he hated spiders to some extent, especially the deadly kind.
-
The sun was warm and the sky was clear and blue.
Juliet Hill was off work today, so breakfast was delayed by almost two hours. It wasn't until close to noon that the two of them, having finished getting ready, went downstairs to grab a bite to eat and do some shopping.
“Uh, hi, Monroe.” Juliet Hill pushed open the door and saw Eddie Monroe standing in the doorway, about to knock, with an old lady standing behind him.
“Juliet, you…you’re not at work?” Eddie Monroe was a little surprised and replied awkwardly, glancing at Sue behind her. “Um…how are you feeling right now? If you’re not feeling well, I can come back another time.”
Juliet Hill glanced at Eddie Monroe, then at Sue, and finally at the somewhat nervous and expectant old lady. Suddenly, she smiled and said, "He should be in a good mood right now, I guarantee it."
Juliet Hill then invited Eddie Monroe and the old lady into the house, and then, with a smile, took Su's arm and said, "Although I don't know what happened, the old lady must have something she needs your help with, right? Her reaction was just like the people I saw in the hospital—nervous, apprehensive, and expectant all at the same time."
“That’s a veterinary hospital,” Su muttered to herself, glaring at Eddie Monroe’s awkward smirk before explaining to Juliet Hill, “You’re right, she’s probably here to see me.”
“When people are sick, they go to the hospital; when animals are sick, they go to the veterinary hospital; when Vincent is sick…” Su looked at the old lady Eddie Monroe had brought.
The old woman hurriedly said, "I, my name is Charlotte. Monroe said you can turn Vinson into a human completely, is that true?"
"what do you?"
"I am a spider." The old lady said, and was about to reveal herself when Su suddenly stepped in front of Juliet Hill.
Juliet Hill was taken aback for a moment, then said, "It's okay, I was prepared. Besides, I'd like to see him too."
Seeing that Juliet Hill seemed genuinely curious, Su stepped aside and casually put her arm around her shoulder.
The old woman named Charlotte then revealed her true form. Overall, she wasn't too terrifying. Apart from slight changes in her skin and a pair of strange fangs, she didn't look much different from a human.
Su remembered that there was indeed an episode that told the story of the spider demon.
"In an instant, the priestess transformed into an enormous spider demon, and the samurai found himself tightly bound in her web"—the Japanese fairy tale "The Spider Demon".
"Introduce yourself."
"I... my name is Charlotte, and I'm a black widow spider. A few years ago, I betrayed my nature," Charlotte introduced herself.
"Describe the characteristics of the man-eating spider."
Charlotte paused for a moment, then explained again: "Our true nature first emerges after the age of fifteen. Every five years thereafter, we undergo a transformation. To interrupt the decay process, we must consume three men within three days during the transformation."
"The decay process? What if... what would happen if it weren't stopped?" Juliet Hill asked in surprise.
"How old do you think I am?" Charlotte asked Juliet Hill.
Juliet Hill watched as she hesitated to voice her guess; she looked to be at least in her sixties or seventies.
"I'm 26 years old!"
Charlotte said a number that Juliet Hill could hardly believe: she was only 26 years old.
“The problem of rapid aging has always bothered us. Killing young men and draining their life force is not what we want, and we do not find it pleasant at all. Our hearts are crying, but no matter how much the guilt of killing torments us, no matter how many times we cry, we cannot stop.”
"Physiological instincts are almost inescapable."
"In addition, we would normally kill our partners, and we also like shiny things, although I don't know why."
“But you seem to be…” Juliet Hill looked at Charlotte, who was dressed very simply with no video on her.
“I resisted that temptation.” Charlotte finished speaking and looked at Su Shi: “I… I don’t expect to regain my youth. Even if I become an old woman, at least I won’t have to constantly endure that instinctive temptation. Can… can you really help me?”
"can."
Su gave an affirmative answer, and continued, "I can not only turn you into an ordinary human, but I can even restore your youth. The question now is, why should I help you? What makes you worthy of my help?"
“I…I’ll give you money, I can give you all my money!” Charlotte said excitedly.
Su raised an eyebrow and smiled at Juliet Hill, saying, "Give me money? I suspect she's insulting me!"
Chapter 188 You definitely won't lose out, I'll definitely make a killing!
“She probably didn’t mean that,” Juliet Hill replied with a smile, then turned to the bewildered Charlotte and said, “You probably don’t know him, I mean his other identity. He’s very rich, extremely, extremely, extremely rich!”
“You want to use money to sway him? It seems…it does seem a bit insulting to him.” Eddie Monroe muttered under his breath, “The car I drove here was a gift from him.”
"..."
Charlotte was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I can't think of anything else I can do to impress you, but if you want it, and if I have it, I'll do anything for you."
"You probably don't have a job, do you?" Su suddenly asked.
Charlotte nodded.
“I have a supermarket that’s about to open. You’ll work for me for ten years. During those ten years, I’ll only pay you the minimum wage. After ten years, you can leave if you want, or I can give you a raise if you want to stay.” Su asked Charlotte, “Do you agree?”
Charlotte was stunned.
After working for ten years, is the minimum wage still being paid?
Is this a condition? Is this a price to pay?
This is clearly an immense act of kindness and help!
Charlotte nodded repeatedly, so excited she was almost incoherent: "What... what do I need to do now?"
"Stand still."
Su took out his red fishing rod and swung it directly at Charlotte. This sudden turn of events surprised everyone present, but because of their trust in him, no one said anything.
Charlotte collapsed to the ground, trembling from the pain. Su Shi retrieved the fishing hook and casually refined Charlotte's chakra energy into a chakra pill. Then, looking at Charlotte, who was being helped up by Eddie Monroe, he said, "I'll give you a few days to adjust your mood. After that, go to the Show Club and find Fire Demon Ariel Eberhart. She'll make arrangements for you."
"This...this feeling is so wonderful. I feel so relaxed. I'm...I'm a normal person now? Then my youth..." Charlotte could feel the changes in her body, but she didn't look young again.
"The price of restoring your youth is too high; you can't afford it, and I don't know what you'll need to do to pay it. Anyway, you'll have to work for me for ten years, and if you make significant contributions during that time, I'll reward you as appropriate."
Helping her become human again would be a piece of cake; I'd get chakra pills and a ten-year employee—she'd definitely not lose out, and I'd be making a killing. But restoring her youth would require a huge amount of chakra pills. A small favor would be fine, but I couldn't accept losing out.
Offering a helping hand is a virtue, but to be willing to suffer a loss yourself to help others is foolish; he has no obligation to do so!
"I understand, thank you, thank you so much. I... can I tell other people about this?" Charlotte wasn't ungrateful; she had already been so helpful, asking for more would be asking for more. She would just work hard to repay the kindness in the future.
Su nodded and reminded her, "Just be mindful of the limits."
"Thank you, thank you. Well, I won't bother you any longer." Charlotte left, full of gratitude, her steps a little unsteady yet giving off a very light feeling.
“Me too, I’m leaving.” Eddie Monroe also prepared to leave.
"Don't you plan to become human?" Su asked him.
He hesitated for a moment and then shook his head: "I think I'll pass for now. I can control myself, and I need my abilities to do more."
“Next time this happens, call me in advance to make an appointment. Don’t do these surprise attacks.” Su glared at him, and Eddie Monroe apologized awkwardly before taking his leave.
"So you can turn those monsters back into humans?" Juliet Hill asked in surprise, clinging to Sue's arm. "Doesn't that mean you can completely eliminate these monsters? Monroe and Charlotte just now, they seem very gentle, but surely there are some monsters who don't want to become human, right? What if they find out? Won't they cause you trouble?"
"Why do you think I told Monroe I could do this, and why I helped Charlotte without stopping her from spreading the message?" Su said with a light laugh. "I don't intend to completely eliminate Vison, but I'm happy to have contact with them, whether it's good or bad."
"In fact, I've recorded a lot of information about supernatural creatures, and maybe one day I can publish an encyclopedia of supernatural creatures!"
Su said with a smile, "Open your mouth."
"Huh?" Juliet Hill was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously opened her mouth.
Su casually tossed the newly refined chakra pill into Juliet Hill's mouth. Juliet Hill smacked her lips, and then her body trembled slightly for more than ten seconds.
"What did you give me to eat? I feel like something...something is different," Juliet Hill asked curiously.
"Chakra Pill, a kind of pill that can increase vitality, restore youth, and grant special powers." Su opened her Byakugan to observe Juliet Hill's body.
It's obvious to the naked eye that she looks much younger, perhaps two or three months younger. She's youthful, radiant, and full of energy. Inside her body, countless cells are filled with trace amounts of chakra, but she probably can't extract this chakra unless she becomes a ninja.
As for special abilities, Su asked a few questions, and based on her answer, it was clear that she didn't have claws.
Although it's only a few months younger, for a woman even looking a day or two younger is incredibly exciting. Besides, regaining youth is just a manifestation; the real reason is gaining two or three months of vitality, which is equivalent to living two or three months longer. So…
Juliet Hill unilaterally canceled her planned dinner outing, and decided to share her excitement with Mr. Su to cheer him up.
Over the next few days, Su's life became very fulfilling. During the day, he worked as a consultant with Nick Hank and the others to handle several cases, such as the Queen Bee, the Rat Demon, and the Snake Demon. Occasionally, he would take on a few orders to change the fate of the Vinson Monster. As for the evenings, he would basically have dinner with Juliet Hill, watch TV, and then... then go back to his room.
It's worth mentioning that, in addition to Charlotte, the Su family also hosted a family of spider demons, all three of whom were man-eating spiders, and were the main characters in the episode about spider demons in the TV series.
Like Charlotte, the husband and wife would work for Sue's supermarket for ten years. Their daughter was still in school and hadn't yet shown her true colors. It could be said that Sue's appearance completely changed her fate and saved her from suffering.
What's noteworthy is that the spider-like creature is supposed to eat its husband, but this family didn't; she deeply loved her husband. Also, Sue recognized her appearance; she was the mother in the superhero TV series The Gifted.
They've hired a lot of employees, gained a lot of Chakra Dan, and received a lot of gratitude. Su believes this is the right way to promote positive energy.
Helping others also brings benefits to oneself; only in this way will more and more people be encouraged to help others and more willing to do so.
Chapter 189 Who will decide who will be the King of Mississippi?
Host: Su
Rank: LV7 (Trainee Ninja) (Earn $15 for each heartbeat)
Experience value: 0/150000
Points: 21120
With expenses for purchasing a house, the talent club, the school's power company building, and subsequent renovations, the points earned during this period were just enough to level up.
During this period, the Su family has been maintaining a state of running hundreds of shadow clones 24 hours a day, and currently still has more than 80 million in unextracted wealth. After the upgrade, the main body's heartbeat reward is 216 million US dollars per day, and running 100 shadow clones at the same time would be 218.16 million US dollars per day. After rounding down, that's 200 million US dollars in income every day.
