Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group
Chapter 1246 - 1221: Paranoia
In front of him was a small house, with gourds growing in the front yard, and seven gourds of different colors hanging from the vine.
No need to think to know where this is; this scene is a childhood memory.
Ye Chen did not rush over but parked his motorcycle aside, observing everything in front of him.
The seven gourds were not quietly sleeping; instead, they were shouting, "Grandpa has been captured, we need to rescue Grandpa."
They were swinging back and forth on the vine, all wanting to come down.
Ye Chen knew from the plot he had seen before that these gourds would eventually come down one by one.
The Snake Spirit and Scorpion Spirit captured them one after another, intending to refine the seven children into Golden Cores to achieve immortality.
As Ye Chen was recalling those storylines, a red gourd ripened, fell to the ground, and instantly transformed into a little boy with a gourd on his head.
"Big Brother, hurry and save Grandpa." The other six gourds said in unison. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"You all wait for me. I’ll capture those fairies and bring Grandpa back." Red Child declared confidently.
Ye Chen knew this was the courage of a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger.
These gourds, although each possessing skills, had never succeeded in rescuing that grandpa.
Since Ye Chen was here, there was no need for Huluwa to step in. After all, he was idle, so he might as well rescue the old gentleman and gain the goodwill of Huluwa.
Ye Chen discovered through his recent deliveries that the higher the customers’ goodwill toward him, the more significant the rewards he received.
Seeing Red Child about to leave, Ye Chen hurriedly rode over to stop him.
"Kid, here’s your delivery." Ye Chen handed the bag in his hand to Red Child.
"Who are you?" Red Child frowned, looking at Ye Chen.
The Ye Chen in front of him was dressed in yellow clothes, which looked very strange.
"I’m your deliveryman." Ye Chen replied with a smile.
"No need; I must hurry to rescue Grandpa. I can’t let him suffer with the fairies." Red Child pushed the bag aside.
One has to say, this child is indeed very filial; if kids nowadays were half as filial, it would be great.
"Kid, you don’t need to go. Leave this to me." Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Leave it to you? I don’t even know you; why would you help me?" Red Child looked at Ye Chen and asked.
In his impression, he had never seen a person wearing a yellow robe, yet why did this person want to help him?
Moreover, rescuing Grandpa was an extremely dangerous task. Why would this person do it?
"I’m moved by your filial piety, but I won’t help you for free; there’s definitely a condition." Ye Chen said with a mischievous smile.
Seeing Ye Chen’s smile, Red Child suddenly realized that this person wasn’t a good person at all.
However, he truly misunderstood Ye Chen. Ye Chen said so to ease his guard.
"Go ahead." Red Child said.
"I just want you to eat the food I delivered and then give me a good review." Ye Chen pointed at the bag in his hand.
"That simple?" Red Child didn’t expect Ye Chen to say that.
He initially thought Ye Chen wanted something from him, but he didn’t expect Ye Chen to say such a thing.
"Of course, it’s that simple. What else would it be?" Ye Chen said grumpily.
He thought this little one seemed small but was quite clever.
"How about it? If you agree, I’ll go and help you rescue the old grandpa right away." Ye Chen said again.
"Alright, I agree." Red Child nodded.
"Big Brother, don’t trust him. He must be a bad guy, trying to trick you. He’s certainly not going to rescue Grandpa." The other six gourds urgently shouted.
"Little gourds, have you been tricked before? Why do you all have a persecution complex? What would I gain from harming you?" Ye Chen said irritably.
"Brothers, don’t worry. If he tries to harm me, I’ll definitely crush him like a pancake." Red Child consoled his other gourd brothers.
Ye Chen knew Red Child was very strong, with tremendous strength, and couldn’t help but shiver at what he just said.
"Okay, hurry up and try the delivery." Ye Chen urged.
Red Child, half-believing, opened the bag, took out a bottle of yogurt, and began to drink. He couldn’t deny that the cold, refreshing taste was delightful.
Usually, they only drank water, so they had never tasted something so delicious.
The other six Huluwa, seeing Red Child’s satisfied expression, instantly felt a bit envious.
"Big Brother, give us some too." The six gourds shouted loudly.
Ye Chen thought, they were just calling me a bad guy, and now they find my delivery delicious. What kind of kids are these?
Red Child took out the remaining yogurt and shared it with his brothers.
The gourds, too, looked full of enjoyment—this truly was a human delicacy.
"How about it, kids? I wasn’t lying to you, was I?" Ye Chen said with a smile.
Red Child didn’t respond but opened a bag of potato chips, took a piece, and gently bit it, making a "crunch" sound.
The gourds on the vine were drooling at the sight.
Ye Chen thought it was raining and looked up to the sky.
At this moment, the sky was clear, blue skies and white clouds, with no signs of rain. Looking back at the drooling gourds on the vine, Ye Chen thought they were utterly spineless.
Red Child was utterly absorbed in his eating, ignoring his brothers’ urging screams.
The gourds on the vine felt like they couldn’t take it any longer and were itching to come down from the vine.
Only then did Red Child come back to his senses from the deliciousness, repeatedly praising, "This is so good."
He then shared the remaining chips with his brothers.
"So, are you satisfied with the delivery I brought?" Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Not bad, really not bad." Red Child nodded.
Then he opened the other bags, not only eating himself but also sharing with his brothers.
These kids’ battle power was indeed super strong, devouring all the food in the bags in no time.
Ye Chen had bought a full bag of snacks, enough for even an adult to eat for a while, but these little guys had eaten so fast.
"Is there more?" Red Child asked, looking at Ye Chen.
"No more, you eat too much." Ye Chen rolled his eyes at him.
"Next time, can you bring us more?" Red Child said with a disappointed look.
"Sure, no problem." Ye Chen said with a smile.
Although he said so, Ye Chen knew he didn’t know when or if he would see them again, as Worldwide Delivery was assigned randomly by the system.
Each world he visited was different, and there was a small chance of visiting a world he had been to before.
