Chapter 74: Tiezhu Seeks Help!
The divorce rate in Ke Chen City has plummeted!
This is thanks to the "efficient" operations of the Ke Chen City Management Team...
This is thanks to the strong administrative intervention of Ke Chen City...
Causing the divorce rate, which suddenly soared in Ke Chen City, to drop to—
0!
"Divorce cooling-off period?"
"No, you explain to me, what is a divorce cooling-off period?"
"Just earlier, the person in front of me could get divorced, why can’t I get divorced now?"
"You civil administration folks can get divorced, but I can’t? Is this a privilege?"
"..."
For the many couples arguing in the middle of the night, arguing with their spouses, parents, their spouses’ parents, and even neighbors... who argue all the way to the civil administration office, lining up overnight to get divorced, it’s almost their turn, but they can’t?
Calm down?
How do you expect me to calm down?
"Everyone, don’t worry, it’s not that you can’t get divorced. Now, everyone registers first, and after a month, if you still want to come back, you can get divorced immediately!"
After the staff finished speaking, they clapped their hands, and from the backstage, someone came with a thick stack of pamphlets and started distributing—
#Divorce is to reduce unhappiness, so be more cautious#
#Guard the battle for family marital happiness#
#Divorce shouldn’t be impulsive#
#...#
But such measures do not solve the problem in essence.
...
As the essence and source of the problem, the Pure Love Minotaur Warrior is outside the civil administration office in Hanchen District, at the entrance of a noodle shop, stir-frying noodles for himself.
This shop is a couple-run shop, a small diner.
As for why the Pure Love Minotaur Warrior is stir-frying noodles himself, it’s because the shop’s couple is currently not here.
If you’re willing to take a serious look, you’ll find...
Look, the couple from this shop are lining up to get divorced on the opposite side!
Stir-frying the noodles and observing the stir in the divorce line, he heard a familiar term—
"Divorce cooling-off period."
"Looks like Ke Chen City can’t come up with any new tricks, again with the divorce cooling-off period, but...
It’s useless?
My power isn’t torn from divorce itself, but from emotions."
For the divorce cooling-off period, people of Ke Chen City are unfamiliar, but the Pure Love Minotaur Warrior isn’t.
After all, the Pure Love Minotaur Warrior has been to many cities, and there are always cities that want to suppress his power, one of the ways is to implement a divorce cooling-off period.
However...
Those emotions exist inherently, they are merely "called upon" due to his arrival.
Such measures to prevent divorce might seem effective in the short term, but in reality...
The Pure Love Minotaur Warrior closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and the aroma of fried noodles and the oppressive emotions in the air flooded his nostrils.
Huh?
The negative emotions decreased?
Right then, the couple from the noodle shop returned.
Although the couple didn’t seem to get along perfectly, it was a lot better than arguing before.
The owner saw a guest stir-frying noodles himself and stepped forward quickly:
"Guest, let me handle this."
The owner’s wife whispered to the owner:
"After frying this guest’s share, let’s go to the cinema! You’ve been saying you’ll take me to a movie for years! With these free movie ticket vouchers from the civil administration, you can’t skip it anymore!"
"Alright, alright, don’t say it in front of the guest, go change clothes at the back. By the way, at the top of the wardrobe, there’s a lipstick I bought online, not sure if it looks good, but it sells well. Was planning to give it to you on our anniversary, go try it on."
"..."
After the owner’s wife went to the back, the owner took the spatula and pan and apologized to the Pure Love Minotaur Warrior:
"Sorry, guest, you know how women are, sometimes thoughtless."
"No problem."
The Pure Love Minotaur Warrior returned to his dining table, and soon, a person sat across from him.
On a closer look, it’s none other than the fellow who dared block his way?
Pure Love Minotaur Warrior: "Is this your doing?"
Yadan: "Yeah."
Pure Love Minotaur Warrior: "Interesting, actually thought of sending movie tickets, is there any other trick?"
Yadan: "What’s it to you?"
Pure Love Minotaur Warrior: "Real guts, I’m liking you more and more, why not join us now?"
Yadan: "I just want to ask when you’re leaving, I’ll follow you until you leave."
Pure Love Minotaur Warrior: "You’re not afraid of me?"
Yadan: "I’m single, no girlfriend, your passive ability doesn’t affect me, besides, you’re under Lazy Legislator, you rarely strike directly, why should I fear?"
Pure Love Minotaur Warrior: "Oh, a singleton huh."
Yadan: "..."
Just as Yadan was about to retort, the Pure Love Minotaur Warrior’s fried noodles were served. The owner handed the dish and chopsticks to the Pure Love Minotaur Warrior, then looked at the newly arrived Yadan, rubbing his hands apologetically:
"Guest, sorry, I need to take my wife for a movie later, promised her, can’t make another dish."
"No worries, I’m friends with this guy."
Saying that, Yadan helped himself to some utensils and chopsticks, and took some noodles from the Pure Love Minotaur Warrior’s bowl.
Pure Love Minotaur Warrior: "...You’re really not shy, and truly not afraid I’d strike?"
Yadan: "Won’t happen, current environment isn’t most conducive for you, Minotaur Warrior, do you really want to die in Ke Chen City? You’re here merely to save face for the non-biological son’s death, why take yourself down too? It’s not worth it."
Meanwhile, in a command vehicle several hundred meters away from Yadan...
At this moment, over a dozen psychology experts are conducting [Thought Sharing] with Yadan—
Every word Yadan says, every action Yadan takes, and every move of the Pure Love Minotaur Warrior that Yadan sees, are synchronized in the mental realm.
The conversation Yadan is having with the Pure Love Minotaur Warrior, is all from the thinking discussions among the experts—
The best solution.
When talking to the Pure Love Minotaur Warrior, adhere to a few principles:
Do not pity or sympathize with the other party’s experiences...
Speak naturally as if among friends...
Showcase the unafraid stance of Ke Chen City in fighting them...
And give the other party a way out...
...
Amidst the collective outbreak of marital conflicts in Ke Chen City, Mr. Hua, hauling a suitcase, found Lin Hao.
City Management Team.
Leisure and Entertainment Zone.
"Bro! The goods your friend provided are really great! So exciting!"
Lin Hao looked at Mr. Hua, who was full of excitement, and asked:
"Selling some black stockings, is it really worth getting this excited?"
"It’s not just about selling black stockings, hahaha, you wouldn’t know!"
Mr. Hua straightforwardly explained how he was directly charged a room fee at the Paradise Entertainment Club:
"My family had an issue just for one day! I didn’t even say I wouldn’t pay, but they thought I couldn’t afford it and would skip out on the bill. It made me feel so annoyed!
Fortunately, there were goods from your friend! Hey! When I sold them, guess what happened?"
"What happened?"
"Among the goods your friend provided was a kind of stocking, supposedly to promote marital life, called ’Temptation to Go Home.’ I showed it to the customers and the young ladies...
After buying them, they all went home separately.
They went home separately, you know~
It’s hilarious, this morning, it was the worst day for business at the Paradise Entertainment Club!"
Just as Mr. Hua was about to share his first-day business experiences, Tiezhu arrived outside the Leisure and Entertainment Zone.
The moment Tiezhu arrived outside, he was already sensed by Lin Hao’s Divine Thought.
...
Tiezhu is the main combat faction in Ke Chen City.
He utterly looks down on Extraordinary who lack direct combat power...
But this time, he realized that combat isn’t always about fists hitting flesh. With Ke Chen City’s chaotic divorce situation, even if he wanted to throw a punch, there was no strength to exert directly.
Unless Tiezhu’s iron fists could smash through the Extraordinary Universal School with one blow...
"Sigh! I don’t know how the team leader planned it, but they got me to find the Milk Tea Master."
Within the City Management Team, ever since everyone fell in love with the Happy Milk Tea made by Lin Hao, Tiezhu has been avoiding Lin Hao.
Who can blame him for blocking Lin Hao on the first day he joined the City Management Team, calling him a ’laissez-faire individual’?
But the task was assigned; complaining wouldn’t help.
Now what Tiezhu had to do was organize his words at the entrance of the Leisure and Entertainment Zone:
"Ahem, Milk Tea Master, we from the [Combat Team] would like to invite you."
"Milk Tea Master, we need you to lend a hand with something."
"Milk Tea Master, please come with me."
"..."
All of this was sensed by Lin Hao’s Divine Thought.
This person, not only is he stubborn, but also a bit funny.
Having lived in the City Management Team for some time, Lin Hao had heard that Tiezhu wasn’t always like this. It was just during one field assignment, a partner from the [Logistics Team] happened to be free and went out on the mission with him.
That day, Tiezhu returned to the City Management Team to hand over tasks.
His partner from the [Logistics Team] never returned.
From that day on, Tiezhu changed.
He became someone who ’looked down’ on Extraordinary without direct combat power, and wouldn’t allow Extraordinary without direct combat power to be on-site...
After pacing hesitantly for a long time, Tiezhu glanced at the office group. Seeing that everyone’s work tasks were progressing in an orderly manner, he finally stepped up to the entertainment area entrance, and loudly spoke:
"Milk Tea Master, we have something we want to ask for your help with! Please!"
Having said this, Tiezhu bowed ninety degrees, braced for Lin Hao’s mockery.
As long as Lin Hao agreed to help...
He even anticipated the mockery Lin Hao would utter —
Like "Aren’t I a laissez-faire individual?" "Don’t I lack combat power?" "Don’t you, Tiezhu, look down on me, so why are you asking for me?"...
But it’s nothing, Tiezhu’s pride doesn’t matter.
Lin Hao: "What’s the matter, lead the way."
Tiezhu: ???
It was all overthinking!
Lin Hao: "Don’t waste time."
Tiezhu: "Ah, yes, yes, yes, let’s go, I’ll explain as we walk."
Seeing Mr. Hua beside Lin Hao about to follow, Tiezhu instinctively said: "Laissez-faire individuals don’t..."
Before he finished his sentence, Tiezhu felt a fierce aura emanating from Mr. Hua.
This feeling...
Tiezhu was familiar with it; it was a power specific to the Extraordinary Families in the Chenxi District.
The strength of those Extraordinary Families doesn’t come from uncontrollable Superpower Awakenings, nor from Contained Objects from dungeons descending into the world, but from their orderly inheritance.
Their strength is called —
Inner Power.
This group of people is called —
Martial Artists!
However, these Martial Artists prefer to call themselves ordinary people.
When not utilizing Inner Power, it’s indeed hard to differentiate them from ordinary people.
"This Martial Artist sir, there was no invitation for you in the task I received; please don’t make things difficult for me."
