Hope Coffee House - chapter 58
Wu Liang stretched his brows, heaved a sigh of relief, and began to check his system panel.
Hope Coffee House Seventh Owner: Wu Liang
Life Value: 41 days without illness and injury + 16 days lingering
task: No
supplies: Time Card 1
Hope Coins: 5893
Mall: Part of it is unlocked
Team: Wang Zhaozhao.
One and a half months have passed, and the relevant departments didn’t find out that Wu Liang was there when Gao Qi died, they didn’t find her body either. It was very likely that they had found other evidence to prove Gao Qi committed suicide.
Although he felt a little uneasy in his heart, Wu Liang was unwilling to spend 5,000 hope coins in exchange for a tracking card at the time to find Gao Qi’s body and trace the man behind the scenes who might be hiding in the dark. After all, the next mission would be released soon. If he only has 893 Hope Coins left in his hand, he would probably be more at a loss to complete the mission.
When completing this task, the man behind the scenes didn’t jump out and troubled Wu Liang. Wu Liang guessed that Gao Qi might have something else to do with the handsome man who was most likely behind the scenes, and the theft of Gao Qi’s body might not be the case against him.
Wang Zhaozhao helped a lot in the new mission. Looking at Wang Zhaozhao’s name in his team’s menu, Wu Liang felt warmth in his heart and asked the system, “System, I got 30 days of illness and no injuries on this mission. At the same time, does my team member Wang Zhaozhao also have this reward?”
“Yes.” The system simply replied.
“Then a person like Wang Zhaozhao who has a very long lifespan will first consume the free time given by the system, or will it consume her original lifespan first?” Wu Liang asked curiously.
“Prioritize consumption of the disease-free and non-injury time gifted by the system.” The mechanical system replied.
“Okay.” Wu Liang regretted.
It would be great if the disease-free time given by the system was consumed at the end of life. In that case, as long as Wang Zhaozhao does more tasks, in later life she would suddenly have a period of disease-free Time without injury and it would surely be a pleasant surprise.
“The first six owners of the coffee house are dead. Although I don’t know the reason.” Wu Liang was a little wary in his heart. Wu Liang was also unclear about how many tasks he could accomplish and how much time he can earn for his own life. He could only do his best.
The task was completed so smoothly, Chen Wei can be said to have contributed the most. Had it not been for the help of that great technical god, Wu Liang didn’t even know how to make a website of the award-winning event, let alone the Justice website. When he asked Chen Wei to build the Justice website , he told Chen Wei that he hoped that he would charge him according to the market price. But that matter was flatly rejected by Chen Wei.
Chen Wei said to Wu Liang, dissatisfied, “You, Wu Liang can pay out of your pocket and spend millions of cash to solve the complex and infinite problems caused by MLM scams. I, Chen Wei, am just here to contribute. How can I collect your money by doing my own part?” Seeing Chen Wei’s resolute attitude, Wu Liang had to give up his worries, and he was moved a little bit.
Chen Wei was the first person he met after he came to this world, the first guest he helped in the Hope Coffee House, his current friend, and a purely good person.
“Now I hope that no new helpers come to the coffee shop, now that I think about it, today is Sunday, Chen Wei does not have to go to work.” Wu Liang intended to bring Wang Zhaozhao and make an appointment with Chen Wei for dinner. The three would celebrate. Wu Liang first called Chen Wei, and the two quickly agreed on the time and place for dinner.
Thinking that Wang Zhaozhao should be with her family at that time, Wu Liang didn’t want to disturb her, so he sent a text message to Wang Zhaozhao and told her about it.
Wu Liang hadn’t had a good rest for many days, and now he was all light and free. Seeing that it was still early before dinner, he wanted to cover his head and sleep a lot.
Wu Liang slept peacefully.
After Wu Liang woke up, the time agreed with Chen Wei was already very close. It was getting late, but Wang Zhaozhao hadn’t returned to Hope Cafe. Wu Liang glanced at the phone, and she didn’t reply to the text message he sent her about the dinner at night.
“What is going on with her? Is it her mother who caused another problem? Or her grandpa’s condition got worse again?” Wu Liang was a little worried, so he quickly called Wang Zhaozhao. The phone went through, but no one answered. Wu Liang was a little anxious, so he called again. This time, the “beep” sounded twice, and Wang Zhaozhao answered the phone.
“My phone is muted and I didn’t hear the call. What’s the matter, boss? Any instructions?” Wang Zhaozhao’s brisk voice came from the other end of the phone, but Wu Liang seemed to hear a little hoarseness in her voice.
“It’s not a big deal. I sent you a message a few hours ago. Seeing that you didn’t reply, I called to check if everything was okay. What happened to your voice? Is something wrong?” Wu Liang asked concernedly.
“It’s okay, I’m so happy today, my voice is hoarse. I really haven’t noticed the message you sent, boss, what did you send me?”
“I wanted to take you to eat with Chen Wei and celebrate with dinner. Is it convenient for you now? If you come back now, let’s go together, and you will still be in time to your home.” Wu Liang asked with a smile.
“Um boss, can I not come for now? I’m waiting for my mother here. She has it a little hard to accept the fact that the extreme is down. I have to continue to persuade her.”
“Do you need my help? The corresponding policy has been introduced. Your mother can go to the vocational training school in Yucheng to learn skills for free, and then choose another job.”
“Well, the main thing is to persuade my mother to adjust her mentality. This kind of thing, boss, You can’t help.”
“Then you stay with her. I’ll call you next time when I ask Chen Wei to eat together.”
“Okay, by the way, boss, I might live with my mother tonight. I won’t go back to our hope coffee house, you don’t have to worry about me.”
“Well, good”
“Boss, my mother is here, I’ll hang up first.” Wang Zhaozhao hung up the phone. Wu Liang went to the hot pot restaurant he had agreed with Chen Wei, alone. The two ate the spicy hot pot and drank beer before they went home.
After Wu Liang returned to Hope Coffee House, he didn’t see Wang Zhaozhao. She probably stopped at her mother’s house. Wang Zhaozhao, who always likes to call his boss in the coffee shop, without her, it seemed a little deserted.
Wu Liang made himself a cup of coffee and sat in a daze in his chair. Suddenly, there was a sound of opening the door.
A new guest has arrived.
Wu Liang quickly got up, showed a warm smile, and greeted him, “Hello, the hope coffee shop welcomes you.”
A man in his 30s was standing at the door tiredly, and looked at Wu Liang blankly.
Basic task: Help Gu Donglin regain hope. (Hope value should increase to more than 60%)
Gu Donglin’s current status:
Hope value: -98%
Mission limit: Limited to 3 truth cards and 3 trust cards.
Task reward: 30 days without illness and injury.
The new task finally came, Wu Liang was relieved and felt much more at ease.
“Hello! Please sit down for a while, and I will make a cup of coffee for you.” Wu Liang said to the man named Gu Donglin with a warm smile.
Gu Donglin mechanically walked to the table and sat down, and his blank eyes turned to Wu Liang who was busy at the counter again.
Wu Liang quickly made a cup of sea salt caramel mocha, gently placed it in front of Gu Donglin, smiled and said, “Sir, please use it slowly.”
Gu Donglin picked up the coffee, looked at it in confusion, and fear suddenly appeared in his eyes. His right hand trembled and put the coffee cup back on the table. He pointed to Wu Liang and asked, “Is she sending you?”
Hearing Gu Donglin’s question, Wu Liang was a little inexplicable, but watched the fear that rose in Gu Donglin’s eyes. He roughly understood that he did not trust him and the cup of coffee he handed him.
Wu Liang quickly picked up the coffee in front of Gu Donglin and drank it all in one breath. Then he showed him the empty cup. He smiled and said, “This is the Hope Cafe. It is safe and the coffee tastes good. Drink, It will calm you down. Would you like one?”
Gu Donglin didn’t speak, but shook his head in silence, looking blankly at the empty coffee cup on the table. Wu Liang didn’t dare to act rashly anymore, and slowly sat opposite Gu Donglin, who was already soaked in cold sweat.
Just after he handed the coffee to Gu Donglin, his hope value quickly dropped from -98% to -99%. Wu Liang was so scared that he drank the whole cup of coffee again and proved himself innocent.
Gu Donglin’s fear gradually subsided, and his hope value returned to -98%.
Wu Liang wanted to try to redo a cup of coffee for Gu Donglin, after all, sea salt caramel mocha can effectively relieve anxiety.
But Gu Donglin simply shook his head and refused to make Wu Liang dare not act rashly.
Ten minutes had passed Gu Donglin entered the coffee house, but Wu Liang could only sit opposite him, silently watching him wandering into the sky, without even knowing why he was so desperate. In order to let Gu Donglin relax, Wu Liang kept smiling, constantly exuding his gentle aura worthy of being trusted.
After a long time, Gu Donglin finally said the first sentence, “I will be killed by my wife soon.”
