Chapter 18: The Old Mother's Smile

"Xiao Lei, will the weirdo juicer break down?" Leto asked the system at this time. He felt that the problem did not seem to be with the device, but was likely due to other reasons.

"The juicer will only change when the battery is low, but it has nothing to do with the taste." Xiao Lei replied.

"What causes the taste change?" Leto asked.

"There is only one possibility, that is the change in the weirdo's psychology."

"The change in the weirdo's psychology?" Leto said with some surprise: "What does this mean?"

Xiao Lei continued: "It's like a person with depression, everything is gray. It was originally a good thing, but in his eyes, he didn't feel anything, and he couldn't feel happy. Their hearts were full of despair and sadness. Such people naturally couldn't be sweet, but only bitter."

"You mean the strawberry weirdo has depression?" Leto said in surprise.

"You can understand it that way." Xiao Lei said.

Leto had seen it for a long time. The weirdo actually got depression. Didn't he just squeeze the strawberry weirdo a little more? How come he actually developed a world-weary mentality?

Since Xiao Lei told him the reason, Leto almost knew how to deal with it.

So he looked at the strawberry monster: "What's that expression on your face? I'm not saying I won't let you go. As long as you turn over a new leaf, I'll still let you go."

"Really?!" the watermelon monster asked excitedly. They actually have a chance to see the light of day again?

"Of course it's fake!"

Leto would never say this, otherwise everything would be in vain. There's a saying that goes, to make a person despair, you must first give him hope.

Facing the fruit monsters, he had to keep giving them hope, but he just wouldn't let them go. Stop it, if he let them go, how could juice be produced?

It would take time to find other fruit monsters, and there weren't so many fruit monsters in Z City.

"Shut up, I'm talking to the strawberry monster now." Leto pointed at the watermelon monster.

Some hope appeared in the dead eyes of the strawberry monster, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. As long as you perform well, I will definitely let you go. Don't worry, it's just squeezing some juice, I won't let you die." Leto patted his chest and assured.

"Can you squeeze me less? I don't want to be squeezed dry at such a young age." Strawberry Monster's eyes were full of hope. There was no other way. He was locked up here and could only believe in hope.

"No problem, I'll squeeze watermelon juice now." Leto was very happy when he saw that Strawberry Monster had recovered his mood.

Next, he couldn't target Strawberry Monster anymore, otherwise the next time he was depressed, it would be more serious than this time, right?

When Watermelon Monster heard that Leto was going to squeeze him, he was horrified, but if what Leto said before was true, it was okay to suffer some grievances. As long as he could get out, he would pay some essence.

After Leto's operation, the watermelon juice was squeezed. Looking at the somewhat weak but hopeful Watermelon Monster, Leto showed a kind smile like an old mother in his eyes.

What he said before was not only for Strawberry Monster to hear, but also partly for the other fruit monsters to hear. After all, he didn't want to enlighten every monster, so it was better to apply eye drops directly.

"Try the taste of watermelon juice." Leto handed the watermelon juice in his hand to the video game hero who was playing the game. At this moment, he had reached a certain level of Lao Wang.

"Wait a minute, let's finish this level first." The video game hero operated with a focused look on his face, and the joystick kept moving. The skilled operation made Leto's eyes sore.

This level of proficiency is almost as good as King.

"Hahaha, I passed the level." The video game hero laughed, took the watermelon juice and drank a few sips, praising: "The watermelon juice is good, sweet and fragrant, much better than strawberry juice."

"It's good to taste. By the way, you are also very fast. King played Metal Slug for nearly a day before he finished the level. You have already completed half of it." Leto praised. His game hall needs such people to patronize.

"What, Mr. King has already cleared Metal Slug, and it's been less than a day?" Video Game Man was shocked, as if he had unlimited motivation, and said confidently: "It seems that I have to work hard to catch up with Mr. King!"

"Haha, work harder, you can play here as long as you want. By the way, are you sure it's okay to play here all the time and not do what a hero should do?" Leto likes the character of Video Game Man, who never gives up and never admits defeat. He is full of blood.

"Ah, I have reported the news to the association today. I don't have to do anything this week." Video Game Man laughed, drank all the watermelon juice, and then started playing.

Leto chatted with him for a few words and returned to the front desk. After sitting down, he turned on the computer and began to check the task list of the game hall.

If you want to upgrade the level of the game hall and increase its scale, you need to complete it by completing tasks. Before, you didn't have much time to study. Now that the game hall is ready, he can study some tasks.

Leto clicked on the game hall task list with his mouse, and the task appeared immediately.

C-level task: The game hall has 10 registered members.

Completion reward: Arcade size + 1 game machine + 5 experience points + 200 cash + 2000

C-level task: Get the juice of five vegetable monsters.

Completion reward: Arcade size + 1 monster juicer + 3 experience points + 300 cash + 4000

C-level task: Register 20 members in the game hall.

Completion reward: Game hall scale +1 game machine +10 experience points +300 +6000

The task list is all C-level tasks, and there are no B-level tasks at present, probably because of the level of the game hall.

However, it is not bad to complete the C-level task. Leto thinks it is relatively easy to complete the registration of 10 members at present. The current members are King and Video Game Man, which are two. If there are 8 more people, the task can be completed.

Therefore, Leto puts his hope on Video Game Man. Although he does not have high expectations for Video Game Man, it is also good to attract some gamers, which can make some contributions to his "GDP".

"Boss, I received news that I have to go out for something. I will bring someone over another day." Video Game Man hurried out after receiving a call.

Leto picked up the broom and swept the floor, and then mopped the floor for a while, although the floor was quite clean.

To be honest, if the Thunder Game Hall was not located near the uninhabited street in Z City, this kind of life would be very comfortable, at least there would be no need to worry about food and clothing.

There would be no need to worry about monsters attacking the game hall every day, so there would be more customers, but the system chose this place. I don’t know if it was the system’s choice, maybe the system is helpless?

In short, everything is slowly improving, Leto is not impatient, good days are still to come.
