Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

When Chi Yu returned to his residence in Beijing, the door happened to be opened from the inside.

His residence is a quadrangle with three entrances, and because it also has a garden, it occupies a large area. Usually when Chi Yu is not at home, someone needs to come and take care of it.

But the time is not right now. Excluding the option of a cleaner coming to the house, there is only one possible answer as to who is the person here.

So Chi Yu withdrew his hand that was about to open the door, and quietly watched the man with black glasses walk out from inside, expressing his surprise at his return with a slightly exaggerated expression.

"Military Advisor Chi, you are finally back. I haven't seen you for a while. I missed you so much—"

As Black Glasses spoke, he restlessly hooked his hand around Chi Yu's shoulder, took off the backpack hanging on him, and asked him with a smile: "How was it, did you have a good time in Guangxi?"

Chi Yu let Black Glasses take his bag away. After hearing the other party's question, he hummed: "The commission is not interesting, it's still the same. But I did see an interesting farce."

"Interesting farce?" The man with black glasses touched his chin, "Let me guess..."

"Last time you suddenly asked me about the Xie family, but not long after, the head of the Xie family turned around and took his people to Guangxi with you. Did you do something?"

Chi Yu glanced at him and said, "You ask even though you know the answer."

"So, the unlucky one this time is Master San, right?" As he said this, the man with black glasses laughed, "What a misfortune!"

Chi Yu was speechless for a moment, not knowing what this person was so happy about.

But he could never understand the overly eccentric thoughts of the man with black glasses, so he simply stopped thinking about it, pushed away the man's hand and walked inside.

Feeling that his hands were free, the man with black glasses immediately said "Hey", picked up his bag, and walked back with Chi Yu: "Speaking of which, I was just about to go out to buy some food, but since you're back, Boss Chi, why don't we go out to eat together?"

Seeing the man with black glasses taking the opportunity to hold his hand again, Chi Yu said expressionlessly: "I don't want to eat, let go."

Hearing this, Black Glasses sighed in disappointment. But he didn't really listen to Chi Yu's words and let go. Instead, he hooked his neck in revenge and shook it a few times.

"Boss Chi, you're not going to use your filling energy drink as a meal again, are you?"

...Wow, you understand him so well.

Chi Yu's eyes wandered.

But what's wrong with energy drinks? Energy drinks are great! Eating a meal takes at least half an hour, but drinking an energy drink doesn't even take a minute, and you can quickly move on to the next meal.

I dare to ask, is there any way in the world that is more convenient than this?

Thinking of this, Chi Yu asked the man with black glasses confidently, "Is it not possible?"

The man with black glasses understood the moment he saw Chi Yu’s wandering eyes, and when he heard his affirmative answer, he looked as if to expect it.

He shrugged and said regretfully, "I just think that Boss Chi, you have decorated the kitchen so exquisitely. It would be such a waste if it is always empty. Those kitchen utensils will be sad too."

"Will you be sad if you still care about the kitchen utensils?"

"I can't help it. I am just such a loving person, blind man."

The man with black glasses smiled, then suddenly lowered his head and sniffed Chi Yu's neck, "Come to think of it, Boss Chi, the feeling you gave me during your trip seems to be a little different."

What's different?

Chi Yu asked in confusion, "Hmm?"

The man with black glasses spoke very slowly when he said this. He seemed to be carefully identifying something from Chi Yu: "You gave me a very pure feeling before. I could feel the strong fire from you, but now..."

"The fire seems to be blocked by something, and there are more of them on you, as if you will be infected with ominous omen if you get close to it."

Having said that, the man with black glasses stopped and looked at Chi Yu seriously.

His brows furrowed slightly. "What happened to you in Guangxi this time? Did you get cursed by some weird thing?"

The man with black glasses rarely showed such a serious expression, so Chi Yu also stopped and turned to look at him.

Chi Yu recalled his own experience in Tianhu Lake, and thought about what happened afterwards, and finally came up with an answer in his heart -

The man with black glasses seemed to be aware of his newfound ability.

As early as on the way back, Chi Yu opened the permission seal belonging to Logos.

Logos believed that "without the corresponding knowledge to use this ability, the consequences would be disastrous."

Therefore, in addition to the operators' own abilities, Chi Yu also gained a lot of knowledge about the application of spells.

The other party's blood naturally mixed into Chi Yu's own blood as a part of his reliance.

The fire of the Teng Snake was vigorous in the perception of Black Glasses, but the mysterious part belonging to the banshee was like a curtain covering everything, making Chi Yu's attributes hazy and unclear.

Black Glasses always had enough sensitivity in strange places, so much so that in the short time since he reconnected with Chi Yu, he was able to sense the protection from the banshee surrounding Chi Yu.

Chi Yu thought calmly, but there was one thing that still needed to be corrected.

"It's not a curse." Chi Yu said.

As he spoke, the azure eyes gradually shone with a rose-red glow, "This is a blessing."

He pointed to his eyes: "Now, I can see the same world as you."

After all, before this, although Chi Yu's vision could capture more details than ordinary people, he still needed some light assistance to see things in dark environments.

Now, the blessing of Logos allows him to turn a blind eye to darkness, which is an ability commonly known as "night vision".

This also enhanced Chi Yu's own ability to move to a certain extent.

——At least in some extreme cases, he doesn't have to open the system interface to act as a light source that only he can see.

Why is Logos God?

Chi Yu thought devoutly: Because he is indeed a God.

-

Black Glasses had no idea what Chi Yu was thinking.

Listening to Chi Yu's words, he felt as if his heartbeat had missed a beat, and then a deep worry swept over him.

Everything has a price.

Just like after Black Glasses gained abilities that ordinary people couldn't understand, those negative influences also followed him.

Being able to see in the dark sounds good, but compared to himself, what has Chi Yu lost?

The man with black glasses fell into deep thought.

At this time, Chi Yu still used his usual calm tone, thinking that this was nothing to be surprised about, which made Black Glasses doubt whether his reaction really needed to be so intense.

Well, from Chi Yu's perspective, since this ability brings him more benefits than disadvantages, there is no need to distinguish so clearly whether he is suffering a curse or a blessing.

After all, if hurting himself could allow Chi Yu to gain more, then Chi Yu would definitely do it without hesitation.

——Because Chi Yu is such a person who puts profit above all else and can be cruel even to himself.

That's why Black Glasses is even more worried.

It seems that he has to add one more item to his action plan for Chi Yu.

Black Glasses thought about it, hiding the complicated emotions in his eyes, and said to Chi Yu teasingly: "So good? Then can we save some electricity bills in the future?"
