Chapter 376 Old Man Pan's Defense Breaks
Old man Pan took the gift package with a smile. It was a golden box with a bow on it, which was very ceremonial.
"It's good to be at your age, you're curious about everything.
By the time I reach my age, my heart will have been as still as water, neither happy nor sad. "
Song Anning:?
"These things are just external possessions. I don't care much about them. Since you want to see them, open them."
Old Man Pan pretended to be profound, stroked his beard, and asked Song An Ning to open the box.
The square box was quite heavy. Song Anning untied the bow and lifted the lid. There were only two small peace buckles inside. They were of average quality and did not look valuable.
When he saw what was inside, Old Man Pan paused stroking his beard, quickly snatched the box away, and stared at it with wide eyes.
"No, it's just this little thing, why do you need such a big box?
I work diligently, always thinking about the safety of the people, sleeping later than dogs and getting up earlier than chickens, and all you get are these two little things?
I'm not happy anymore! "
"..."
Song Anning suppressed her laughter and asked him:
"Where's your promise of a calm mind?
Neither happy nor sad? Unhappy? "
"..."
Old Man Pan straightened his clothes awkwardly and said proudly:
"This is different..."
Song An Ning laughed out loud. In fact, these two peace lockets had a great origin. After Xiangxiang's popular science, she learned that they were sound-transmitting jades.
Two people each hold one, and after they are bound together, they can use it to transmit sound, and it is not affected by weather, distance, or space. It is more convenient than mobile phones in previous lives.
Song An Ning relayed what Xiangxiang said to Old Man Pan, and his expression finally looked better.
Although the two peace lockets are a bit ugly, they are very useful. He kept one for himself and put the other in Song An Ning's hand.
"The system is so biased. It's clearly something for me, but it also takes your share.
Who else can I give this thing to except you?
It’s unfair, and the system doesn’t respect the elderly or the young…”
Old Man Pan's face was long and he kept talking. He walked quite a distance, tied the peace locket to Song An Ning's, and said stealthily:
"Hello? Can you hear me? Calling Aning, calling Aning."
"A Ning received it, any instructions?"
"Open your gift bag too, I want to see it!"
He remembered that the last time the system distributed gift packages, Song Anning got much less than him. This time, there was only the Voice Transmission Jade. This girl would probably only get a plush doll.
Thinking of this, he looked at the small cloth bag in Song An Ning's hand with glee. Such a small pocket could not hold anything.
Psychologically balanced!
But as Song An Ning untied the rope, there was a bang, and the pocket suddenly became bigger, floating in the air and things kept popping out.
Xiangxiang's voice was clear and loud, and she started sharing. At this time, Old Man Pan stared at the things on the ground, listening to the system explain the name and usage of each treasure, his heart aching.
"Ding, host Song Anning has completed the hidden mission 'Love Without Borders' and will refund all expenses incurred during the plague.
Rewards: 20 high-level puppets, a 5-level space upgrade, three triple-rate lottery cards, various elixirs...
Number of times the vessel was used...
Various cards..."
Song An Ning sat on the ground and took every treasure that popped out of the cloth bag. This time the system's rewards were comprehensive, doubling the treasures she had obtained before, and there were also several types of cards and high-level pills.
Happy and satisfied!
Finally, Xiangxiang said:
“The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the mountains are high enough for birds to fly.
From today on, I hope the owner will make good use of the treasure and live happily and freely in this world."
"Hey, I definitely will.
Thank you Xiangxiang! "
"You're welcome, Master. This is what you deserve."
Each person and their system were chatting happily, and old man Pan beside them was about to explode.
"Look at me!
I am not happy and I am not comfortable!
I also want so many treasures!"
Xiangxiang replied with some disdain in her voice:
"Ding, the system detected that Old Man Pan's contribution to this epidemic was relatively small, so he's only being given a consolation prize.
I hope you will continue to work hard, be down-to-earth, and avoid empty talk."
"Hahaha……
Aning, did you hear that? Your system says I'm hypocritical and empty, that I'm not down-to-earth...
How ridiculous! I've been working so hard for so many days and haven't had a good night's sleep! And she actually said that to me!
Before Song An Ning could say anything, Xiang Xiang retorted without any hesitation:
"Old Pan, think about it, ever since the plague broke out, it's been my master who's been buying medicine. That's a lot of money!
But you just talk and don't do anything, you didn't spend a penny, even going to Qingshi Village and using puppets was my master's idea!
My biggest contribution was preparing the medicine, and the herbs were provided by my master!
If you just say you won't give any money, isn't that just empty talk?
He's so old, yet he tricked a teenage girl into paying for medicine and then didn't mention it afterwards. Shame on you!
"Xiangxiang you..."
Song An Ning saw that Old Man Pan’s face was getting redder and redder, and wanted to stop Xiangxiang and ask her to stop talking.
But this time Xiangxiang was particularly disobedient. When she started to talk back, her little mouth was like a knife, stabbing into Old Man Pan's heart again and again.
Seeing that Old Man Pan didn't reply, she said again:
"Are you broken?
Xiangxiang would like to remind you: the system rejects all empty promises.
You must also be wary of the emperor and make him pay first before giving him medicine.
Don't spend money and effort to earn a plaque that says you're a compassionate doctor or someone who saves lives, and then just cry while holding the plaque."
"..."
It’s heartbreaking to kill someone!
Your own failures are terrifying, but your friends' successes are even more heart-wrenching.
Old man Pan felt extremely aggrieved. He never thought that after decades of dominating the martial arts world, he would be criticized like a grandson by the system today.
"How can I not pay? I didn't put in the effort!
Aning, just tell me the amount and I'll pay you right away!"
As he spoke, he took out a box of banknotes from the space, and without even counting them, he stuffed them directly into Song An Ning's hand.
“I’ve been busy these past two days, and I really forgot.
There are about 500,000 taels here, which should last for a while. I'll send you some more in a few days."
Song An Ning quickly refused. The system had already refunded all the money spent in the past two days, so how could he ask for money from Old Man Pan again?
And what happened to Xiangxiang? From what they knew, Xiangxiang was always well-behaved, but today she was particularly irritable, as if she had been possessed by a ghost.
"You just heard it, the system has already paid, how can it ask for another 500,000?
Xiangxiang has the temperament of a child, her temper comes and goes quickly, so don't take it to heart."
Old Man Pan was a little angry, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he was indeed wrong, so he didn't say anything else.
Song An Ning insisted on not taking the money, so he threw the banknotes into the space again, thinking that he would buy some gifts for the little girl later and not treat the child badly.
The atmosphere at the scene was awkward for a while. Old man Pan, who had just been scolded by Xiangxiang, said nothing and prepared to go back to town. Song Anning thought for a long time and didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere.
At this moment, Xiangxiang's voice sounded again:
"Ding dong, chirp chirp...
The host just passed the test, did not take extra money, had a strong will and good character.
Special reward: the number of treasures just obtained * 2.
Hey, Old Man Pan, I'm sorry. Xiangxiang didn't mean it! This is a hidden task in the system. I'm taking advantage of you a little bit.
But Xiangxiang is sincere about one thing: ask the emperor for money first, don't wait until the plague is over, because the emperor is prone to defaulting on his debts!"
Old Man Pan: ...
Is he a mean person? No, he is just a tool for Aning to get the reward, wuwuwu...
If he doesn't forgive, he will never forgive this stinky system!
Song Anning scratched his head in embarrassment. It was indeed a bit rude for a man over a hundred years old to have to endure such a heavy blow.
Old Man Pan's eyes welled up with tears, and the system also played a song at the right time: A broken heart is like shards of glass...
