Chapter 1063 Money Flies Away
After finishing his sentence, Ancestral Master raised his chin high, waiting for Zhouzhou's admiring gaze.
One minute passed, but Zhouzhou's expression remained unchanged, and she continued to wait for him to elaborate.
Two minutes passed, and Zhouzhou's eyes started to show signs of confusion.
Five minutes passed, and Zhouzhou's expression turned clearer.
Ten minutes passed, and Zhouzhou yawned, standing up from the ground and preparing to leave.
Ancestral Master quickly grabbed her and pressed her back down on the cushion. He sat cross-legged next to her, his statue standing tall behind him.
He poked Zhouzhou's arm and smugly said, "Didn't expect that, did you? You must be jealous of my intelligence."
Zhouzhou thought for a moment, then shook her head and replied honestly, "I'm not jealous of Ancestral Master's intelligence, but I admire your confidence."
She stared at him with a serious expression and earnestly asked, "Ancestral Master, how did you make even a useless sentence sound so impressive?"
He had made such a big mystery out of something so simple, and she thought he was going to say something important, but in the end, was it just this?
Wasn't that just nonsense?
Doing big things earns more Merits; doing small things earns fewer Merits.
It's a very normal thing.
Even a three-year-old would understand this principle.
She didn't know why he thought it was so impressive. He had made it sound like some kind of secret, but it was actually obvious. She had learned her lesson — don't expect too much from Ancestral Master!
Zhouzhou shook her head and sighed deeply, looking at him with pity in her eyes.
It was over. Ancestral Master had gone mad over Merits.
Seeing that she didn't give him the reaction he expected, Ancestral Master was stunned for a moment. Then he noticed her little expression, and his face darkened. "No, no, think about what I said again," he urged.
"Look, when you do good deeds, like helping elders cross the road, the Merits you earn are almost negligible."
"And when you exchange the money you earned for Merits, it doesn't really amount to much."
"And the Merits you earn from casually saving someone are different from the one you earn when saving Qiu Guoliang. Have you ever wondered why?"
Zhouzhou thought carefully for a moment before replying, "Is it because the earlier ones were embezzled by Ancestral Master?"
Ancestral Master: "..."
Unfilial disciple!
Seeing that he was enraged, Zhouzhou chuckled mischievously and quickly smoothed things over, "Ancestral Master, you want to say that different things and different people earn different amounts of Merits, right?"
Hearing this, Ancestral Master's expression softened, and he nodded, "Yes."
That was what he meant. The little girl had clearly understood it already, but she was just messing with him on purpose.
But...
"My dad won't let me go after them. He won't even let me go online!" Zhouzhou pouted.
When she mentioned this, her cheeks puffed up in frustration.
It was too much. It was really too much!
"Ancestral Master, do you know how to use a computer?" Zhouzhou asked.
Hearing this, Ancestral Master looked down at his beard, squinted at her, and scoffed, "Do you think I'm someone who knows how to use these modern gadgets?"
He was an old man! How could he possibly know how to use something as fashionable as a computer?
Zhouzhou glared at him, "Then what are you talking about? You're useless!"
They didn't even know the list, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to find any information about those criminals.
It was just like knowing that there was money in the bank but not being able to take it out.
Even if they knew, it would be useless.
With that thought, she cupped her cheeks and sighed deeply.
She wanted to get rid of her bad luck with money too, but what could she do?
Ancestral Master, with a mysterious air, said, "Who said there's no way?"
Hearing this, Zhouzhou immediately turned her head and perked up her ears. "What way?"
Ancestral Master said, "Do you remember when your dad and the others had a meeting on the island?"
Of course she remembered. It was the meeting where they discussed making her training plan.
The next day, when she saw her father's strange expression, she felt something was off, but he wouldn't tell her.
"Did something happen?" Zhouzhou asked. If there was nothing important, Ancestral Master wouldn't have said this at this time.
Ancestral Master replied, "Zhao Xinghua suggested that you should go out and practice, and the targets are the criminals on the wanted list."
Zhouzhou's eyes immediately brightened. If she was given a mission, she wouldn't have to worry about researching information. She could just focus on fighting.
She'd get to fight, make money, and earn Merits — three birds with one stone!
But then Ancestral Master added, "Don't get your hopes up. Your dad rejected it. He doesn't agree."
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou's heart instantly sank, as if her money and Merits had flown away.
She touched her chest, her face scrunched in pain.
Looking at her dramatic expression, Ancestral Master couldn't help but laugh.
"Stop acting in front of me. If you have any talent, go act in front of your dad."
