2 Chapter 2 Visitors from the Small Town
Dennis had little appetite due to the hot weather, and almost all the food he took out went into Mike's stomach.
"Dennis, we don't need to be in such a hurry. If I remember correctly, your employer should have granted you more than a week's leave for this official business trip, right?" Mike chatted aloud after finishing off the big burger in his hand.
"If I can get you settled earlier, I can go back earlier and stay with your Aunt Kelly for two more days." Dennis responded while collecting household garbage.
"Hey, what you said is so disgusting..." Mike pretended to shake the goosebumps on his body, then drank the beer at hand in one gulp, and then threw the empty bottle into the distance with all his strength.
...
As Dennis complained, Mike picked up his travel bag and ran happily to the RV.
"You brat, your personality is getting more and more cheerful!" Dennis looked at Mike's back with a smile on his stern face.
Four years ago, after Mike's parents died in an accident, Dennis became little Mike's legal guardian.
Due to family reasons, little Mike had always been a bit "introverted" before.
Originally, Dennis was worried that Mike would become more silent after experiencing the "Jennifer" incident.
However, judging from Mike's current behavior, he seems to have stepped out of Jennifer's shadow.
This situation actually gave Dennis a sense of relief that "his child has finally grown up."
After sighing like an "old father," Dennis also carried a garbage bag and walked towards the RV.
Not long after, the little broken car started making its way again.
Mike lay back on the back seat again, covering his face with a cowboy hat. He looked like he was sleeping, but in fact, his consciousness entered the system.
Yes, as a time traveler, how could Mike not have the system by his side.
[Host of the pickup system:
Mike Quinn
Intelligence: 128+ (Normal 90~110, Excellent 110~120, Very Excellent 120~140, Genius 140+)
Physique: 107+ (100 for ordinary adult males)
Skills: Driving lv3 (67/10000), Shooting lv2 (233/1000), Cooking lv2 (191/1000) ...
(Skills are divided into five levels/more skills can be displayed.)
Characteristics: Demonic Body (1 , Immortality. 2. Eternal youth. 3. Rapid healing.)
(Note: The "immortality" here does not mean immortality. If the brain or heart is "severely injured", it will still die.) ( Similar characteristics can be superimposed and fused.) ]
After about a month of exploration, Mike has almost figured out his system.
That is, by changing the emotions of others, attribute points, skill proficiency, and various characteristics will be randomly dropped.
Simple and crude.
Moreover, according to Mike's preliminary guess, the "protagonists" of this world seem to be more likely to drop good things.
Just like [Devil's Body], it was accidentally picked up by Mike when Jennifer died.
After system optimization, Mike's demon body can be used by just consuming normal food, but it does not need to eat people like Jennifer.
...
"Hey~"
Just as Mike was observing the system, the scratching sound of the RV body "awoke" him.
Fortunately, a slight collision did not affect the use of the RV. The scratching sound just now must have been the car hitting the curb.
Mike looked up, and sure enough, Dennis' troubled eyes appeared in the rearview mirror.
"Hey~, Dennis! Why don't you take a rest and let me drive." Mike said seriously.
Dennis came to his senses after being called by Mike, and his head started to work again, and he refused: "No, you are not old enough to get a driver's license, so it is against the rules for you to drive."
"Dennis, think again, you just drank before, which is considered drunk driving. Driving all night until you are delirious is considered fatigue driving... Do you want me to call the police for you?" For the safety of the two of them, Mike retorted.
The two people's eyes met in the rearview mirror, and Dennis finally lost the battle, stopped the car, and said: "Okay, you are right...you drive, I will watch for you from the passenger seat."
Mike drove the RV as he wished, and with his level 3 driving skills, the car naturally drove quickly and steadily. Dennis leaned on the passenger seat and originally wanted to mention Mike a few words. It was just that Mike was driving steadily, and after a while, he was snoring in his chair.
There are not many forks on the interstate highway. More than three hours later, Mike followed the road signs and arrived at the small town of Telford.
This town looks small in scale, and under the reflection of the setting sun, there is a simple rural style everywhere.
Mike asked for directions several times along the way and then drove the RV to the door of Housing 5502.
At this time, the door of this independent apartment was closed.
But the apartment with 5501 hanging on the opposite door was very lively.
"Missy, go see if our "guest" has arrived." Father George, who was lying on the sofa watching sports events, heard the movement outside the door and said to his youngest daughter.
A little girl holding a doll ran to the window, looked out, and exclaimed: "Wow, there's an RV parked in front of our house!"
"It's our little Mike. Are you ready?" A fashionably dressed old woman poked her head out of the kitchen, a look of anticipation on her face.
She is the person to whom Mike will seek refuge - Grandma Connie.
Connie: "Mary, don't be busy yet. Our little guest is already waiting outside the door."
George: "Missy, go to the room and call little George out~"
George: "Sheldon, I'll see the guest later. , don't say weird things!"
Sheldon: "I know, isn't it because someone is going to stay at Grandma Connie's house? Why are you all so excited?"
...
After a while, the George family and Grandma Connie , neatly appeared at the door.
Mike had just finished packing his clothes at this time and stepped out of the RV.
"Oh~" Grandma Connie came up to him. She was first surprised by Mike's height, and then looked at Mike's face again and again, as if she was identifying something.
Finally, she smiled and said enthusiastically: "You should be little Mike. Your eyes are so similar to Elizabeth's, and they are equally charming." The
Elizabeth she spoke of was Mike's late grandmother.
Mike had already guessed, and was not too surprised to see that it was really Little Sheldon's family and Grandma Connie. He politely said: "I am Mike, Mike Quinn. Are you Connie Tucker?" "
Yes. Me, you can call me Grandma Connie or Grandma Connie..." Grandma Connie said, remembering that Mike no longer had a family, she moved forward and hugged him, and said: "What a poor child~"
Okay, Mike, who is tall and strong, is actually nearly a head taller than Grandma Connie, who is over 1.6 meters tall.
Moreover, Mike still has a farm
in his name that he can inherit. No matter how you look at it, he is not actually pitiable.
...
Missy in the back was already fascinated by Mike's handsome face, and happily asked Mary: "Mom, can I marry Mike?"
Mary was moved, and her eyes widened when she heard her little daughter's question. Explained: "Of course not, you are still in elementary school."
Missy: "Then after I enter junior high school, can I marry him?"
Mary said with a straight face: "Not even in junior high school!"
Missy: "Then..."
Mary: "Not even in high school!"
What she wanted to say was predicted by her mother, and Missy let out an unhappy "hum".
Then, she held the doll and quietly moved two steps towards her father George to show her protest to Mary's mother.
