Chapter 107 Economic Pressure

Hu Li was very obedient and didn't ask any questions after hearing Yu Sheng's instructions. He picked up Irene's oil painting, stuffed it into his tail, turned around and walked out of the room, running towards the attic.
Irene stayed in bed still harboring fantasies: "Hey, Yu Sheng, do you think something strange will happen..."
Before they finished speaking, the two little dolls' eyes went dark at the same time, as if the power had been cut off, and then they fell straight on the bed.
Yu Sheng looked at this scene expressionlessly, then looked at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle: "It doesn't look like that."
A few seconds later, he shouted outside: "Hu Li! You can come back!"
There were hurried footsteps outside the door, and Hu Li quickly ran down from the attic. After entering the door, he took out the oil painting frame from his tail and handed it to Yu Sheng: "My benefactor! Here you go!"
The two little dolls "Teng" on the bed sat up all of a sudden, looking a little dazed in their eyes.
Yu Sheng conveniently hung the oil painting on the back of one of them, turning her into P1 Irene.
As a result, when Eileen "woke up", instead of immediately lamenting that a miracle had not happened, she looked at Hu Li blankly: "Can't you clean up the inside of your tail?"
Yu Sheng was a little curious when he heard this: "Ah? Did you see the inside of her tail? What's it like inside?"
He felt strange when he said this. He had a feeling that it would be a bad sentence in any other situation, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't find the problem at all - he could only blame the rocket boost.
The raccoon dog's tail is so strangely drawn that when you describe its function, it feels like you are going crazy...
"It's dark inside. I don't know how big it is. I can't see the sides. There's a pile of stuff like a mountain of garbage in the middle. The top is full of food and leftovers," said Eileen.
He introduced the scene he saw to Yu Sheng with gestures, "As soon as I opened my eyes in the oil painting, I saw half a box of instant noodles in front of me, and there was a half-eaten roast chicken inside..."
"I, I didn't steal it," Hu Li quickly explained, looking very nervous, "I told my benefactor, the same goes for those leftovers. It would be a pity to throw them away, so I took them.
It won’t be bad if it’s in the tail.”
"Then you should clean it up! There is nothing piled up like a mountain of garbage! If not, the next time you go out to buy things, you can just buy two shelves and stuff them in the back. The shelves like those used in supermarkets are very cheap."
Yu Sheng heard this topic getting more and more weird, and finally couldn't help but interrupt: "... Let's talk about Irene."
The puppet and the fox girl then ended their discussion on "whether it is food safety to mix passengers and goods in the tail, and whether raw and cooked food is mixed" and "should we stuff two shelves into the fox demon's tail?" and focused their attention.
On Erin's two bodies.
"Ahem, now it's confirmed that at least one doll body must be kept within five meters of the oil painting, otherwise they will all be disconnected, and Irene's soul will return to the oil painting," Yu Sheng cleared his throat and began to make arrangements.
The next test is, "Next let's try to see how far away the 'auxiliary body' can go when the 'main body' is carrying the oil painting."
"How to try this? There may not be enough space at home," Eileen thought for a moment, "Going out for a trip? To the city? But you have to hide away from ordinary people to do this kind of test, which feels very troublesome..."
"So there is a more suitable place than the city." A smile appeared on Yu Sheng's face.
Then before he could continue to speak, Irene reacted immediately, and the two dolls said in unison: "Valley!"
"The scope is huge, it's far enough from one end of the valley to the other, and we definitely don't have to worry about anyone disturbing us," Yu Sheng nodded, "But before we go there, we still have to go out and I can buy some things."
When it came to shopping, Irene seemed particularly excited for some reason. The two of them moved to the bed together: "Hey? Going shopping? What to buy? Clothes? Food? Or are you finally going to buy me something?
What's wrong? Actually, I really want to change into new clothes. I've changed
Although this outfit is pretty good, sometimes I want to change it... Hey, don’t you know? I can change my clothes! I don’t have anything else to wear... You also need to buy a new coat.
Your body was covered in blood yesterday, and there was such a big hole, so I definitely can’t have it..."
The two puppets chatted a lot, and Yu Sheng didn't think anything of it at first, but when Irene gradually developed from "speaking with the same voice" to "each saying his own thing," he began to feel that something was wrong. This little puppet was obviously
She was quickly adapting to the state of two bodies. She began to speak with two mouths in turn. After a while, it became two mouths speaking at the same time but saying different contents...
Yu Sheng finally realized belatedly that his "research spirit" might... cause trouble.
Now there are two noisy Bibijis!
"You speak with a body! Don't keep talking!" Yu Sheng quickly stopped the noise of the little doll, "My head is already big - and it will be in the future! Don't be so noisy!"
"Hey, I was just about to say that I found it very efficient to talk like this." Erin, who was carrying the oil painting on her back, suddenly curled her lips, raised her head and blinked, "Then you haven't said what you want to buy yet."
"First go buy more food, batch two boxes of instant noodles and plastic-sealed chicken legs for Huli to use as 'reserve', and then buy some vegetable seeds. Well, after all, I also need to buy some farm tools and so on," Yu Sheng began.
He made his own shopping list in the same way, and as he spoke, he made quick calculations in his mind, "Ah, by the way, I still have to go to the building materials market... Why don't you take it easy, the cost may be a bit high."
Speaking of this, he looked a little worried. After another big purchase, his savings were really going to bottom out. Now his new manuscript has not been released yet, and the "hotel" has not opened any serious business. Yesterday he went with Little Red Riding Hood
After executing a commission, I still don’t know when the reward will be distributed. Although the other party said that the payment would be received as early as today, they also specifically emphasized that it was “the earliest”.
These days I can't make ends meet - there is no "in" at all, only out.
Moreover, most of the expenses are spent on Hu Li. Clothes and daily necessities are a one-time consumption in the short term. The expenses to feed her every day are not ordinary.
But Yu Sheng had to admit that every penny spent on Hu Li's food was really not in vain. After all, twenty chicken legs and one tail may sound like a lot, but to put it another way, twenty chicken legs and one cruise missile
Where can I find the price?
Now give him a chicken farm, and he even thinks he can let this girl cover the entire old city with firepower...
On the other hand, Erin's expenses at home are really close to zero.
In addition to the consumption of materials to reshape the body (all of which are cheap materials), I have never bought her clothes or given her anything to eat. I have just bought her a small red hairpin these days.
Little Red Riding Hood bought it for her when she was taking her shopping. It was a "little thing" that looked like a children's toy, and it made the doll so beautiful that she was so happy all day long...
Thinking about it this way, Yu Sheng even felt that he felt sorry for this doll.
She is noisy, has a bad temper, beeps, climbs on the pole, dances and dances - but she is really good at things.
"If it really doesn't work, we can only use the 'disaster recovery funds'. If we really can't deal with the problem, we can contact the Secret Service and see if we can sell the 'iron lump' we found last time to them directly..."
Yu Sheng muttered, which made Irene beside him a little curious: "What did you say?"
"It's okay, just pack up and get ready to go out," Yu Sheng waved his hand and said as he stood up, "We don't have to go far this time. We should be able to buy everything at the farmer's market on the edge of the old city. Besides, you'd better let
Hu Li, please go out and do some 'disguise' - take the oil painting with you, don't get disconnected on the way."
"Oh," Erin nodded, controlling her other body to sit next to her on the bed, and then very unfamiliarly controlling herself to climb down from the bed with the "subject" of the oil painting on her back, and sit on the floor.
After walking a few steps unsteadily, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay. If the other body stays still, it will be much easier to control this side alone. By the way, how do we get there? Can we take a taxi?"
"...There are no coordinates there, otherwise I would just open the door and save some taxi fare," Yu Sheng sighed, "I can only take a taxi there."
Ten minutes later, Yu Sheng took Fox, who had transformed into a long straight black girl, to the intersection closest to home, waiting for the online car-hailing service to arrive.
"When we get rich, we still have to buy a car, right?" Irene's voice sounded from the bottom of Yusheng's heart, sounding with expectations for the future, "We can't always squeeze in online ride-hailing..."
Yu Sheng turned his head and glanced at Irene, who was held in Hu Li's arms, and raised his eyebrows: "What if it's the Secret Service car again?"
"...It's better to hail a car online."
Yu Sheng grinned and couldn't help but think a little: "Actually, I think we can just buy a battery car. It's bigger and can take one person. When the time comes, let Hu Li sit in the back and ride normally in the city. When we get there,
Where there are people, let her open her tail and use the nine-tail rocket to boost the electric donkey. It consumes 2 cents of electricity and three steamed buns per 100 kilometers. It would be better if the battery car can drive energy recovery, and the electricity bill can be repaid..."
"You have a very rich imagination," Erin muttered, and then she reacted, "Oh no, where should I sit?"
"I'll put it in the front basket for you."
"...Yu Sheng belongs to your uncle!"
While he was talking, a small car with smooth silver-gray lines suddenly came into Yu Sheng's sight. Irene, who was about to bite someone when no one was around, calmed down in an instant and continued to lie in Hu Hu's arms with her limbs drooped.
"camouflage".
With a creaking sound, the car stopped in front of Yu Sheng.
Hu Li came to Yu Sheng's side and asked curiously in a low voice: "My dear friend, was it you who called for the car? It's here so soon?"
Yu Sheng was also stunned for a moment, glanced at the taxi app on his phone, and compared it with the license plate number of the car parked in front of him: "...No, the car I ordered is still waiting at the red light two intersections away.
"
He was wondering, the window of the silver-gray car had been lowered.
Good news, this is not Xu Jiali's old Xiali that trembles when driving.
Bad news, the person who showed up when the driver's window rolled down was an acquaintance, and it was an acquaintance who gave Yu Sheng a little headache.
Chapter completed!
