8 Lock
For the next few days Wang Wei submitted peas, beans, sunflower seeds etc.., but he didn't receive any high energion items. But Wang Wei has not disappointed because by continuous submitting and burrowing, he mastered navigating through the system.
Though Wang Wei thought of earning money by using system items, he didn't particularly receive anything that he can make money from. Other than spending some time on system, Wang Wei continued doing his previous part-time jobs working day and night.
As always, Wang Wei laid on his bed and started summarizing his theory on how Unlimited Borrowing System works. Wang Yong skipped the school today, as today is the day the brothers will receive money from Uncle Li.
"First, I can submit anything, and depending on its value, the system will curate a list of items that I can burrow. In every burrowing list there will definitely be a weapon. Second, there is no guarantee that the system will show same products to burrow when submitting similar items" he thought.
Because by his trails of submitting a low energion peas every day, Wang Wei received completely different items every time. But things like poison pea and pea bomb are listed regularly. So he came to conclusion that system picks the items randomly, which has a value close to the items he submitted.
"Third, the system awards system points depending on the how I used it and there is no upper limit to it. But I personally think system randomly gives the system points. So this point should be verified" he said
"Okay, Mr. Wei" said Genesis, jolting down what Wang Wei is saying in a book. Wei wants to use this as an observation notebook. But as it is time consuming to try by himself, he assigned this task to Genesis.
"Fourth, I need to level up as fast as I can" said Wang Wei, groaning
"Level up? In which game?" asked Wang Yong, hearing Wang Wei's voice.
"Nothing" said Wang Wei startled, he forgot that Wang Yong is in the apartment
"Anyway brother did you know, that guy who always comes to our house is dead" said Wang Yong excitedly because he remembers that every time Alphonse takes his brother away, Wei comes back beaten up. So he is thrilled that Alphonse is dead.
"Really?" asked Wang Wei nonchalantly
"I heard that, when he fell from stairs some of his old injuries opened up and because of excessive blood loss he is dead" replied Wang Yong
"What a poor way to die" said Wang Wei, shaking his head side to side. Well, Wang Wei already expected that much because the system awarded him 50 points for using quantum cutter.
"Bro, you are acting suspicious these days tell me, what are hiding from me?" asked Wang Yong staring at Wang Wei intensely as he saw Wang Wei is less surprised
"I'm not hiding anything from you. It's just that I'm thinking about the what to do if Hugo bullies us even after we pay him back" said Wang Wei. Because other than burrowing from system and working, he is thinking about how to counter boss Hugo's next move on them.
Wang Yong thought his brother is seeing a girl and felt embarrassed hearing what Wang Wei said because when his brother is thinking about how to save both of them from the hands of Hugo, he is thinking about superficial things.
"So brother, do you have any ideas?" he asked, this time humbly
"I have two to three ideas. We will see when it comes to it because we still don't know if boss Hugo is intentionally attacking us. In the worst case, we will k-" paused Wang Wei in the middle.
"We will, What?" asked Wang Yong
"No. Nothing. I haven't thought till there yet" lied Wang Wei. Actually, Wang Wei already has a plan that is to kill boss Hugo, but he doesn't want to involve Wang Yong in this matter.
"Whatever. When are we going to uncle Li's?" Wang Yong believes his big brother. So he didn't ask him more.
"It's 10'o'clock now. So let's leave in half an hour" said Wang Wei and opened the system panel to check the status.
Name : Wang Raymond Wei, Wang Wei
Location : Jinhua city, Zhejiang Province, Eastern China, Asia Zone, Earth Federation
Status : Level 1 (300 / 500)
Assistants : 1 ( 1 / 1 )
Items Borrowed : (0 / 5)
System points : 181.3
"I'm just 200 exp away from leveling up. I will level up in 3 days if I keep up the same pace" thought Wang Wei within himself and closed the system panel.
Uncle Li's house is in the nearby neighborhood and it will take 20 minutes to a walk from the Wang Wei's apartment. The brothers stopped by a fruit stall and bought some fruits as a gesture for thanking the old man.
Wang Wei and Wang Yong stood outside Uncle Li's house and rang the bell.
"Uncle Li, it's me Wang Wei" as uncle Li will be in the study most of the time and ignores the calling bell. Wang Wei shouted so that the uncle Li will know that it's him and opens the door.
But surprisingly, Uncle Li's neighbor came out of her house
"Wei, are you looking for old man Li?"
"Yes auntie, is he not home?" asked Wang Wei. Most of the people in this neighborhood know Wang Wei very well, as he also works part-time jobs like cleaning or cutting grass in their houses.
"Old Li moved out of here 2 days back. Didn't he tell you?" she said.
The Wang brothers are surprised hearing what that lady said
"No. He said nothing to me" said Wang Wei still in daze
"Strange. He told me to give you the keys if you come by. Anyway, wait here I'll bring the keys" she said and went into her house.
"Brother, what is happening? If uncle Li is moving out, then why did he tell you to come?" asked Wang Yong
"How would I know?" said Wang Wei. As he busy with the system and working on other part-time jobs, Wang Wei didn't meet uncle Li in the past week.
"What if boss Hugo came to know that old man Li is helping us and did something to him?" said Wang Yong, trembling
"No one other than uncle, me, and you know about this. It is highly unlikely that boss Hugo knows this" said Wang Wei. Uncle Li rarely speaks with people, so there is no way someone heard about this he and the brothers also kept quiet. So Hugo can never know about this.
"Here" said that lady and gave the keys to Wang Wei. He thanked her and immediately ran to uncle Li's house, followed by Wang Yong.
When Wang Wei opened the door, there is nothing in the house. Previously Old Li's house is filled to the brim with antiques but now there are nothing. Wang Yong went to check other rooms.
Wang Wei went near the study room and found that it has a combination padlock to it but there is no key to that room in the keys given by the auntie next door
"It's empty. Old Li scammed us" said Wang Yong, searching the remaining rooms.
"Here, look. This room is locked, " said Wang Wei.
"It is 6 digit combination. It is will take us 2 days to open it. Let's break it" Wang Yong got annoyed with this situation.
"Did you forget? That old man is an expert in traps. There must be a reason why he locked this door and gave his house keys to me. Let's be careful opening it" said Wang Wei, thinking for some time because of all the people other than his father, Wang Wei knows uncle Li the best.
But suddenly he saw a system window opened before him
