I Have a Dice Left by a God-Chapter 441 - 33: Sugar Cake

Meng Po and Li Xin sat at the door, Meng Po looked at the child with a bit of affection: "His reactions are somewhat sluggish." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Li Xin knew this wasn’t a matter of sluggishness, "What’s his name?"

"Tang Cake, poor little fellow, no one looks after him." Meng Po calmly smiled, "He’s very well-behaved. Even if something happens, he stays in his room alone, doesn’t run around, nor cause trouble."

"Congenital or acquired?" Li Xin asked.

Meng Po shook her head, took a sip of coffee, and slightly wrinkled her brow, "Tsk tsk, what’s so good about this stuff?"

"Haha, I thought the same at first, but later I got used to it. It’s good for refreshing oneself and convenient for everyone needing it."

"Everything introduced by Grand Governor Luthor, no matter how strange or fresh, eventually becomes popular." Meng Po sighed, although she couldn’t quite get used to it and didn’t want to waste it, she took another sip, seemingly not much better than the first sip.

"What challenging case is Shadow Owl facing at the moment?" Li Xin asked, since Meng Po was in charge of the archives and spent all her time at Shadow Owl, she must know about its condition.

Meng Po smiled, "All are in process, Tang Yinxiao may have a cold personality, but he’s a top hand in handling cases. Since he’s been here, many difficult cases have been solved, some long-standing cases probably aren’t wanted to be reopened. Actually, if there’s any urgent matter, Jiang Jinxiao would surely find you."

"What abilities do Tang Yinxiao and the other brothers have? I wonder if it’s convenient to know, so we can have some clues in future cases and avoid making jokes." Li Xin asked.

"I, this old woman, walk the path of a Life Master, a branch of the Law Enforcer, can make judgments on some information," Meng Po placed the coffee aside and picked up a sweater to knit, "Old Tuo is a coroner, this old man seems to have necrophilia, always dealing with corpses and even sleeps with them, but he has real skills, so even if he’s not used here, he’s busy elsewhere. Snake Skin is a Puppet Master, a jack-of-all-trades, can do a bit of everything, and the Drunkard excels at tracking. Broken Gong is a Curse Master and a half-baked Alchemist, he’s busy as well. Sometimes we even have to rely on him to earn extra money."

After speaking, Meng Po peacefully lifted her head and squinted at the sun, "This child is pitiful with no parents, and is plagued by illness, alas."

"What’s Tang Cake’s situation, Sister Meng? Why don’t you tell us, if there’s a way, we’ll definitely help him recover." Li Xin glanced at the quiet little boy, the milk was already finished and quietly placed aside, then he slowly fiddled with his blocks.

"His parents were also Night Patrol, during that time in Celestial Capital, there was a troublesome cult called Blood Source Cult. They went undercover and finally found the lair, but unfortunately implicated their child to be a sacrificial offering. When we arrived, his parents had died, and the child was lucky to escape with half his life, but his soul is missing, so he’s become so dull-witted now." Meng Po sighed, "I, this old woman, am a solitary person, couldn’t bear to see him enter the orphanage, so I adopted him."

"Night Patrol has many capable people, isn’t there any way?"

"There is a way, this kind of thing isn’t the first time. A Curse Master can be found to recall the soul, but when the soul returns, it can’t fully integrate with the original body, needing Magic Potion as an aid. However, the potion requires two precious secret materials: Tears of the Dead and Flame Beetle’s eggs." Meng Po looked at Li Xin, "I wonder if Li Yinxiao knows about these two things?"

"I’m unfamiliar, first time hearing," Li Xin said, seeing Meng Po’s disappointed expression, he continued, "Sister Meng, don’t worry, since these things exist, they surely exist somewhere, I’ll ask around."

"Tears of the Dead and Flame Beetle’s blood are extremely rare Magic Potion materials, inherently scarce, and even if they appear in the market, they’re priced sky-high." Meng Po reminded, she hoped Li Xin could accomplish it but was more afraid of giving unrealistic hope.

"No matter how expensive, it’s insignificant compared to a life. I may not have great skills, but I know some truly skilled friends. Though I can’t guarantee it, I can try." Li Xin pondered for a while and said.

Meng Po saw Li Xin speaking so seriously, in her judgment, Li Xin at least wasn’t talking nonsense, but she didn’t have high expectations, she just didn’t want to miss any opportunity.

"Li Yinxiao, if you can restore this child’s health, this old lady’s life will be yours!" Meng Po said.

Li Xin quickly waved his hand, "Sister Meng, no need for that, I am also a Night Patrol."

"Jiang Jinxiao and Tang Yinxiao, Jiang Jinxiao is skilled in disguise but originally comes from a Knight background, you probably know. Although Tang Yinxiao is cold, he’s actually a highly righteous and clear-cut person, their skills stand out among all teams. Beyond this, it’s not good for this old lady to ramble." Meng Po said.

Li Xin smiled and nodded, finished his coffee, and chatted for a while, then went back upstairs to review the case files. Meng Po glanced at the child, helplessly shook her head, treating a dead horse as a living horse.

On the other side, at the gate of Celestial Principle Academy, Lin Fei was very patient, not hasty nor rushed, waited for more than three hours. Finally, a Scholar who knew her escorted someone out, Lin Fei quickly approached, and that Scholar saw Lin Fei and stopped with a smile.

"Reporter Lin is really persistent." Zhuang Zhidong slightly smiled.

"Scholar Zhuang Zhidong, the early bird catches the worm, I wonder if I have the honor to get an interview opportunity?" Lin Fei smiled slightly and said, this Scholar Zhuang is the most gentle; other scholars might mostly ignore her.

Seeing this elegant reporter, waiting here persistently for several days, Scholar Zhuang Zhidong smiled and nodded, "You really waited, we do need an interview to fully explain our Celestial Principle School to Dragon Capital, and even the entire Li Long United Kingdom. It’s not a simple interview, but a long-term collaboration."

Lin Fei suppressed her excitement, knowing her judgment was correct, "I wonder what requirements you have?"

"In Dragon Capital, Justice Daily, Citizen Daily, and Flying Bird Daily are three fierce competitors. Flying Bird Daily is excluded due to stylistic reasons, we will choose between Justice Daily and Citizen Daily. Currently, we lean towards Justice Daily, but I’ve told the Grand Scholar about your persistence, so tomorrow morning at nine, the Grand Scholar will personally make a choice, is that convenient for you?"

"Convenient, very convenient, nine o’clock sharp!" Lin Fei controlled her excited mood, knowing that if she missed today, she’d really miss out, "Thank you, Scholar Zhuang!"

Scholar Zhuang Zhidong waved with a smile, returned to the academy. The arrival of two Three-star Grandmasters had delighted Dragon Capital Celestial Principle Academy, what they learned here was second-hand and lacked advanced top Grand Scholars for explanations. This time two Three-star Grandmasters arrived, and among them was the chief Three-star Grandmaster Mordo.
