Chapter 620 A few things about the Lanqi family

 The next day.

 In the eastern part of the city-state of Icerita, Wilford's new house.

In the spacious and bright restaurant on the first floor, the morning sunlight shines through the window lattice, carrying the outline of the leaves outside the window, and softly falling on every corner.

 In the courtyard, the occasional summer morning breeze blows, bringing with it the elegant fragrance of various flowers in the distant garden.

 The breakfast at Wilford's house today is different from the past.

 On one side of the dining table, besides the owner Noe, there is a special figure.

 “Dad, can you give me some money?”

 “No!”

The head of the family, Noe Wilford, who was sitting at the head of the dining table, had the same expression as usual. When his eyes fell on Lan Qi, he unconsciously showed some complicated emotions.

Noe was angry when he thought about it. Because of this kid, his account number has dropped sharply this year. Now the company's cross-border trade has shrunk by more than half, and the purchase of a new house in Icerita has cost another large amount of money.

If it weren’t for Lan Qi’s academic excellence, he would be no different from that kind of prodigal gangster!

"All right."

Lan Qi knew that he had collected a lot of money from his father this year, and finally he could no longer collect it.

 But he is really short of money now.

In addition to a bonus from the Southern Continent Shadow World Management Association after the completion of the Seventh Level Shadow World, and a small amount of savings left before, he actually had no other money.

He did bring back a lot of rare-quality sealed magic cards from the Northern Continent, but he did not declare them when passing through the Southern Continent customs. They defaulted to personal use. If they were used for trading, not only would it be very troublesome to put them on the shelves, but they would also require Pay huge back taxes.

 What's more, these cards are indeed his backup fuel. He will go to the Creation Empire soon and doesn't want to sell them.

Next, he went to the Posen Kingdom. He wanted to buy the production auxiliary materials of [Kaliela's Shadow Weaving Record], which would cost a lot of money.

Although I have a lot of salary and privileges as a platinum card maker invigilator, and I also get extremely high discounts when purchasing materials from the Southern Continent Card Maker Association, before going to Posen Kingdom, it is best to have as much money as possible.

You can’t go to Hyperion and tell her, “Huberion, I’ve run out of money, please lend me some money to spend.” This feels too wrong.

Her Duke's family does have money, but the money is all in Duke Miya's account and cannot be withdrawn before inheritance. And her own money was saved by frugality since she was a child. It can be said that she lives better than most people. Most aristocratic ladies must be frugal.

 In order to make money, Lan Qidu began to accept card production commissions.

Of course, the remuneration given by the president's sister is quite generous, which is completely worthy of his price as a platinum-level card maker.

 But there are not many such lists, and if he is not a familiar person, he will not casually help make exclusive cheats such as transformation cards.

The dining table is carved from fine mahogany, and its surface is coated with a light layer of lacquer, reflecting the silver tableware, wine glasses and Ranchi's thoughtful expression.

While he was thinking, the breakfast dishes brought from the kitchen gradually enriched the dining table.

 “How have you been at school lately?”

　　Noe signaled Lan Qi to eat, picked up the tableware in an orderly manner, and asked Lan Qi.

“After the second grade, I have become a lot more relaxed in general. There are not so many affairs in the student union. I only need to go to Professor Borao’s workshop to study with the professor every day. I may have been a little busy in the past few days.”

Lanchi put his fork towards the Wilford family's dishes and said.

 Today is Friday, and tomorrow is the weekend.

Yesterday after I got home, I helped Miss Florence make a card to transform into a teenager. When I go to the old liberal arts building later, I just need to go to the third floor and leave the card in the student union room.

 After returning from the Shadow World, Lan Qi has not returned home yet. Dad and the others moved from the border of South Wantina to the royal capital of Icerite for temporary residence. Their residence is located further east of the Cat Boss Restaurant, closer to the Erica Magic Tower and Hutton on the east side of the royal capital of Icerite. The commercial area of ​​the Southern Continent Card Creators Association is near the pedestrian square.

 So after Lan Qi left the student union room last night, he went directly back to Wilford's house.

Since Professor Pollao told him that he could arrive at the laboratory before half past nine, Lan Qi could have breakfast at home leisurely and go back to school later.

As for the great love poet, she has the key to Lan Qi's dormitory. She did not leave the school with Lan Qi yesterday. After getting off work in the laboratory, she went directly back to the card-making workshop in Lan Qi's dormitory. She must have gone to Magic Works early this morning. Hospital.

“Very good. Seeing your current state really makes me sigh.”

Noe glanced at the side of the restaurant and couldn't help but sigh.

After seeing that Lan Qi stopped drinking, a new wine cabinet was installed in the dining room of the new home, which displayed fine wines from all over the southern continent.

Whenever this **** drank too much and had no memory at all, I heard Hans say that he was very happy when he shot a pigeon that day. He also accidentally broke into the Church of the Goddess of Destiny, accidentally knocked a gem from the statue, and gave it to the priest. They caused a lot of trouble.

 Fortunately, the kind and noble priests did not care about his fault and said that this was a kind of fate.

While the father and son were chatting, a new program sound came from the household magic device that Noe had previously opened in the restaurant.

“Hutton Times Channel, the good morning sound brought to you today is a song by the newly signed artist Lanf Wilford of the Magic Engineering Institute of Eclita College.”

The spoon in Lan Qi's hand trembled.

Subsequently, the familiar and sweet voice began to sound in the Wilford family’s dining room—

 "My dear, you are so cute today~"

“You’re so cute that I want to eat you instead of breakfast~”

“Words that are difficult to express can now be conveyed to you without reservation~”

“Wilford, isn’t that the same as our last name?”

At first glance, Noe thought it was Ranch Wilford.

"Is this kind of song popular among young people nowadays? But the voice sounds a bit like Miss Tata."

 Noe listened to a few words and commented.

“Just by being close to you, my heart beats faster and I can’t help but be swept away by sweetness~”

“I am intoxicated by your cuteness. Before the memory begins to fade, I want to stay with you forever like a lucid dream~”

"It's unlikely. Miss Tata's tone of voice is completely different from this."

Hans, the butler who came over with a plate, frowned slightly and answered after listening for a while.

 He was just passing by.

 Put down the plate and leave again.

“Oh~I feel like I’m about to suffocate, but you are like air, I can’t wait for a moment~”

 “I think it’s Miss Tata’s voice.”

Noe put down the tableware, closed his eyes and finished tasting it, and then said.

 “Lan Qi, why don’t you speak?”

Noe suddenly looked at Lan Qi, who was sitting at the dining table, his movements stiff.
