"Alice, do you still remember them?" Li Shanren asked softly to the little girl with silver hair and blue eyes, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Ah."

Alice nodded, obviously recalling that not-so-good memory, and hid nervously behind Li Shanren.

"Hey, over there, how about we come and chat?"

The scarred tramp hid the dagger in his sleeve and walked out of the alley with a smile. Big and thin tramps followed him to the left and right. They did not recognize Li Shanren. After all, Li Shanren was also a homeless man with a dirty face at that time. Han, no special features.

And a delicate and beautiful little girl like Alice is easy to impress, especially in the slums.

"Okay, let's talk." The smile on Li Shanren's face became brighter and brighter.

In fact, he is not the kind of character who insists on finding someone to take revenge after being offended, but he is not a generous person after all. It would be fine if these three guys never met each other, but now that they have bumped into each other, they will not take revenge for what happened in the first place. , that would be too kind.

"Hahaha......"

The three homeless men looked at each other and smiled, and continued to approach Li Shanren and Alice step by step. In their eyes, this thin civilian boy was already someone they could ravage. After all, they were three against one, and they came to the poor. In a place like the street, one must be aware that others will do whatever they want.

Li Shanren smiled, reached into his clothes, and with the help of the cover of his clothes, slowly pulled out the meteorite staff, raised it to his chest, and pointed it at these three guys who didn't know whether to live or die.

As soon as they saw the unusual cane, the three tramps immediately realized that they had offended someone they shouldn't. Especially when they saw the top of the cane begin to light up with a fluorescent blue light, cold sweat instantly flowed down.

Just a moment ago, the skinny tramp was thinking about how to beat this kid cleanly and then snatch the girl away, but now, he was only thinking about how to save his own life.

"Pfft."

Without hesitation, the thin homeless man knelt down directly, his upper body completely lying on the ground, making a gesture of surrender and begging for mercy.

"Yes... I'm sorry, Lord Extraordinary, it's... we were the ones who offended."

The identity of a transcendent is already quite a deterrent to civilians, but to these vagrants at the bottom of society, they are completely avoidable. Once accidentally provoked, the other party will kill him directly without any hesitation. Someone will take care of it and at most collect his body to prevent the spread of the disease.

When the other two homeless men saw this, they also lay on the ground in fear, trembling all over, as if they were facing a tiger walking out of the jungle.

Li Shanren was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect these three guys to be intimidated so quickly. He thought they had to use the magic stone to intimidate them first.

Seeing their terrified looks, Li Shanren suddenly lost his interest in revenge.

Perhaps it was because the local gap between the two sides was too big now, and he didn't pay much attention to the beating he received back then. If he hadn't bumped into each other today, he wouldn't have bothered to look for these people.

Li Shanren thought for a while, looked back at Alice who was hiding behind him, and asked, "Do you want to go up and kick them? Or punish them in the way you like?"

Alice shook her head slightly, maybe because she didn't want to care about it, maybe because she didn't dare, or maybe because she didn't want to dirty the new leather boots Li Shanren bought for her.

Seeing this, Li Shanren did not force her. He raised his staff, turned to look at the three guys in front of him, and said coldly: "Except for your clothes, hand over everything you have on you. Don't think about hiding it. I I can feel what’s on you.”

The latter sentence is a bluff. Although Li Shanren gave most of his attribute points to intelligence, his mental power is far from enough to reach the state of external release.

Having had homeless experience, he knows that although the things on a homeless person are inconspicuous, each item cannot be ignored. Once lost, it may affect his future survival.

When the three guys heard this, they hesitated for a moment, but they still gritted their teeth and dug out all the miscellaneous things on their bodies and piled them on the land in front of them. They had everything, including half a piece of leftover black bread and a handful of rust. There are stained daggers, several lock-picking tools, sharp broken pieces of porcelain, etc.

"Okay, go away, don't let me see you again."

Li Shanren glanced at the pile of garbage on the ground and said coldly.

"Thank you, Lord Extraordinary, for your forgiveness!"

As if they had been pardoned, the three homeless people immediately got up and ran into the alley behind. However, they did not notice that the meteorite staff in Li Shanren's hand had been condensing magical brilliance without emitting it.

After they ran a certain distance, Li Shanren smiled slightly and swung his stick. A curved arc of pyroxene spread out like water ripples from the dark purple pyroxene at the top of the meteorite stick, and in the blink of an eye he caught up with the people in the deep alley. Three homeless people.

They screamed almost simultaneously and fell to the cold ground, groaning loudly, but they did not die.

Because Li Shanren had calculated the distance required to cause corresponding damage.

However, they must have suffered serious injuries. If these injuries were not treated well, given the sanitary environment of the slums, they would probably have wound infection, and it would be difficult to tell.

It was Li Shanren's kindness that he didn't kill him directly. After all, he was not a devil.

"This way we don't owe each other anything. Let's go, Alice. This is just venting our anger for what happened before. Well...I don't know if you are satisfied with it?"

Li Shanren, who maintained a cheerful mood, picked up the few lock picking tools that might be used from the ground and put them away, leaving the rest of the garbage where he was. Then he led Alice along the street and continued to the Iris Hotel. direction.

After returning to the hotel, Li Shanren took Alice directly to Mrs. Marley's room, where the children were already sitting at the round table in the restaurant over there eating dinner.

Before Li Shanren went out, he told Mrs. Marley that if he came back too late, he would not have to wait for dinner.

"You're back, do you want me to prepare another one for you each?"

Mrs. Marley, who was knitting a sweater with her head down, heard the door opening and raised her head to greet Li Shanren with a smile.

"Thank you, no need, I'm not too hungry yet." Li Shanren smiled.

"What about...Alice?"

She looked at Alice, who was being held by Li Shanren, and smiled lovingly.

Alice shook her head slightly. She had eaten a lot while following Li Shanren.

However, Li Shanren disagreed with this. He knew that children eat less but get hungry quickly.

"Let's eat some more, um... and stay with them for a while. I may not be able to accompany you all the time. You need some companions, okay?" Li Shanren lowered his head and asked softly.

Although he clearly showed his preference for Alice, he did not want her to be disconnected from other children. She also needed some playmates of similar age.

Alice thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Prepare half a bowl of porridge for her, please, Mrs. Marley." Li Shanren raised his head and smiled at the kind old woman.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Mrs. Marley put down the stick and needle in her hand, got up and walked into the kitchen.

Alice obediently walked to the only empty seat at the round table and sat down, waiting quietly.
