In American TV shows: Get stronger by spending money!

Page 49

Anna was taken aback by the question and did not respond for a moment.

This convinced Pearl of her judgment, and she turned back to stare at Su Shi with an even colder gaze: "Then we must kill him even more."

"Mother, you can't kill him." Anna, unable to explain in time, wanted her mother to know how powerful Su was.

Little did she know, her words only fueled Pearl's desire to kill Su Shi.

The resentment sealed away for many years, the excitement of regaining freedom, and the unacceptable thought that her daughter might fall in love with a human made Pearl, who had not yet fully regained her senses or calmed down, even more manic and bloodthirsty.

Pearl was furious, Anna was worried, but Sue remained calm.

Well, Pearl's reaction was exactly what he expected. In the TV series, Pearl went through a lot of things after escaping her predicament before she could truly let go. Now, expecting Anna to calm her down with just a few words was impossible.

The only way to calm her down now is to help her rediscover that familiar feeling.

"Snapped!"

Without warning, Su appeared behind Pearl and grabbed her shoulder. Flying Thunder God Technique, Hollowfication, and in one fell swoop, Pearl realized that she had been... back in the dark tomb that had been sealed for many years.

……

P.S.: If this were the old style, pearls... well, you old guys know what I mean. A loss.

Chapter 91 I could have tolerated the darkness if I had never seen the sun.

"No... impossible! How did I get here?! I clearly left this place, it's impossible, impossible!"

Pearl broke down the moment she found herself back in the nightmare. Her face contorted, and she screamed hysterically, as if seeking answers from someone and expressing her resentment.

The hoarse voice in the darkness gradually subsided. Pearl, kneeling on the ground with lifeless eyes, suddenly remembered something and looked up sharply at the figure that had been standing quietly in the darkness.

It's that human!

It's him!

He saved me, and he also brought me back here.

"You...who exactly are you? I can sense that the seal here hasn't disappeared. Why can you bring me in and out of here freely?" Pearl knelt on the ground without getting up, looking up at Su Shi.

“I am Anna’s boss, friend, companion, and also the one who saved you from this predicament. Considering that you are Anna’s mother, I’m just sending you back here to calm down. Are you… calm now?”

I could have tolerated the darkness if I had never seen the sun.

A brief departure from this place is like the sun for Pearl; having seen the sun, she simply cannot bear to return to darkness.

“Yes, I’ve calmed down, and I apologize for what I did.” Pearl slowly lowered her head.

This is a gesture that expresses submission or surrender.

Pearl did calm down, but admitting defeat and surrendering was nonsense. It wasn't that this old vampire was devoid of human emotions; it was just that her long-standing vampire identity had long since changed her way of thinking.

The law of the jungle is the mindset and survival rule of vampires and most supernatural creatures.

She wouldn't feel ashamed or angry about submitting to the Su family in this situation, because it was the most basic rule of survival.

If given the chance, and if she felt she was stronger than the Su family, she would definitely turn around and kill the Su family or force them to submit, and she wouldn't consider it shameless to do so.

For the Su family and most people, their attempt to show off backfired, and they were forced to submit to the other party.

That's absolutely impossible!

A scholar can be killed but not humiliated; one must still value face and dignity.

Su didn't want to subdue Pearl, nor did he want her to become his subordinate. He just wanted Pearl to calm down and do whatever she wanted as long as it didn't affect him.

Blur out, activate!

Ripples surged and the invisible space visibly spun and twisted rapidly. Pearl, with her head down, felt a tremor in her body, as if the ground beneath her had changed. Then she was grabbed by the shoulder and whooshed back to her daughter Anna.

"Mother."

Anna, who was originally anxious, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her mother being brought back by Su Shi. She quickly hugged her mother to prevent her from doing anything rash.

"You two talk. Call me if you need anything," Su said to Anna before disappearing.

Su didn't really care what Pearl and Anna would talk about, or whether they would choose to start a new life.

Back home, Su took the verbena to the attic, casually picked a stalk, and prepared to crush it into juice to apply to senbon, kunai, and shuriken as a special poison to deal with vampires.

Sometimes we can't be too narrow-minded. Ninjutsu can have different effects on certain things in this world, and conversely, certain things in this world may also have different effects on ninjutsu.

The silver kunai was just a small beginning, and the verbena poison was merely a step-by-step solution, far from being groundbreaking. But as the saying goes, once you start something, you'll start doing something else, and a breakthrough will come sooner or later.

For example, why did the Su family keep the corpse of the Yellow-Eyed Demon?

It has collectible value on the one hand, and it is also for future research purposes on the other.

He had already figured out the direction.

For example, cell transplantation and cloning?

For example, the Oni-Garra Technique and the Earth Grudge Fear, are attempts to seize the Yellow-Eyed Demon's abilities for themselves?

If all else fails, there's always the puppet technique, which can turn the Yellow-Eyed Demon into a puppet that retains his bloodline limit, or abilities, from his previous life.

"Ding!"

Don't get me wrong, it's not a system notification sound, but a message from Su's phone.

This appears to be the first text message he received; the sender was Elena.

Before even reading the content, Su laughed. "Wow, girl, you've achieved two accomplishments in less than a day!"

The first human that Flying Thunder God brought, and the first text message he received.

"have you slept?"

These three simple words, if this were before time travel, would probably be criticized for being too blunt, right?

Have you decided where you want to go?

Skipping over dry, meaningless pleasantries like "Aren't you asleep? What about you?", Su directly started the conversation.

"No, have you been to many places?" Elena, as expected, didn't dwell on whether she had slept or not, and directly launched into a long conversation with Su about countless other topics...

Su found the old-fashioned text messaging method very inconvenient; it didn't allow voice calls, video chats, or voice chat, and she couldn't even see the other person's input status.

Su felt it was necessary to let this person, who had reached the age of this world, know that times had changed!

It's just an instant messaging chat software, so just spend money on it. Even if it's not about changing the times, it's convenient for yourself and the people around you to use.

We can talk to Arthur later. He can make software to monitor demons, so instant messaging chat software shouldn't be a problem for him, right?

Oh, and you can also look for other computer experts in American TV shows. There aren't any in supernatural shows, but there are plenty in everyday dramas.

While studying verbena, Su chatted with Elena via text message until dawn. Elena didn't reply for a long time, so Su used the Flying Thunder God technique to make sure Elena was asleep before going back to her bedroom upstairs to rest.

Silent all night.

When Su woke up the next day and opened the door, she saw an acquaintance.

It wasn't Elena, it wasn't Caroline, it wasn't Stefan, it was Vicky.

"Good morning," Su greeted her.

"morning."

Vicky asked Su evasively, "Do we still need to pay today?"

Su realized he had overestimated Vicky. He thought Vicky would wait at least a few days or need money again before continuing to sell blood to vampires, but she came the very next day.

"Can't you come at night? Why do you have to show up in front of his house in broad daylight so everyone knows you're rich again?" Caroline's voice chimed in.

Then, Caroline, dressed in a little red dress, appeared before Sue and Vicky, arm in arm with Elena, who seemed to have slept poorly, and Bonnie, who said it was none of her business.

Vicky glanced at Madam Su, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, without offering any rebuttal.

"The early bird catches the worm, and mornings are when our appetites are at their best." Su smiled, took out her wallet, pulled out a few US dollars, and handed them to Vicky. "Anna isn't home, so could you please run a errand and buy a few breakfasts? Don't forget yours, and the rest is your errand fee, okay?"

Chapter 92 Stefan, please begin your performance!

"Do you have any dietary restrictions?" Vicky asked Su Shi as she took the money.

Su shook her head first, then asked Caroline and the others, "And you?"

"You're going to treat us to breakfast?" Bonnie asked in surprise.

Su shrugged: "Obviously, yes."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Caroline and the others didn't have any dietary restrictions, so Vicky didn't ask any more questions and turned to run errands to buy breakfast.

Sue didn't count, but it was at least seven or eight hundred US dollars. Breakfast for several people in the small town wouldn't cost that much. Giving Vicky a delivery fee was actually telling Vicky that even if Anna wasn't there today and she didn't need to sell her blood, she could still get benefits from her.

This is a simple, low-tech tactic. If you want people to work for you, you can't just offer benefits when there's a problem. Small favors and small acts of kindness in ordinary times are the foundation for people to be willing to follow you and do things for you.

For a few hundred dollars a day, you can get a safe and reliable blood bag and a errand boy. This reduces unnecessary trouble, saves time on trivial matters, and provides a fixed expense. Why not accumulate wealth little by little to become stronger?

Su was very satisfied, and so was Vicky. As for what others thought, it didn't affect Su, and Vicky didn't care.

Vicky even had a sense of superiority, as if she were the only one who was sober in a world of drunks, since 'only' she knew what kind of 'people' Sue and Anna were!

For the next few days, Vicky appeared in front of the Su family's house on time every day. Sometimes she would run errands to buy breakfast, and sometimes she would go inside and leave weakly half an hour later.

Vicky received more and more money, and her spending increased as well. It's worth mentioning that she spent all her money on dressing up and supplementing her nutrition, which reduced her previous habit of drinking and taking drugs.

The reason for the change was rather absurd: she wanted to earn more money and therefore needed to supplement her nutrition, but alcohol and drugs might affect her health and thus her blood, and she worried that Anna would be dissatisfied and lose her job.

As for dressing up? The reason is even simpler: the money she earned from the Su family changed her life, allowing her to naturally emerge from her previously difficult and hopeless life of decadence.

Vicky's family is indeed quite troublesome. She doesn't remember what her father looks like, and her mother is often drunk and often hangs out with ghosts on the beach. So, at a young age, Vicky has already lost all hope for life and destiny.

Things are different now. She has a 'job' and a 'salary' that many people can't earn. In order to do this job better, she has so much time and energy that she has no time to care about her previous hobbies.
