NPC's Poverty Story

Chapter 12 The Mysterious Past
An Mio was also very helpless to meet such an old man, and finally spent money to buy some food.

Seeing that it was almost noon, An Mio decided to buy lunch for herself, and she spent a total of a dozen star coins, An Mio felt distressed for a while, and the old man looked contemptuous.

However, the old man still kept his promise and told some news about the Ross repair shop.

According to the old man Li, he has opened a shop here for some years, and the Ross repair shop only opened about 15 years ago. Before that, the shop was a restaurant.

Old Rose, the owner of the repair shop, also suddenly appeared in this city 15 years ago. No one knows where he came from, and no one knows what his full name is.

However, he is very kind, proficient in mechanical technology, and is the only repair shop here. Over time, everyone accepted such an outsider and began to call him Old Ross.

"That's all? Nothing else?"

Old man Li stopped after he finished speaking, and An Mio was a little anxious. It sounded like this old Ross was indeed a bit mysterious, but no conclusion could be drawn based on this information.

"Shopping." Old man Li smiled kindly, took a sip from the water glass on the ground, and then began to pack up the chess pieces on the ground.

"Okay, you talk first, and I'll buy it after I'm done, anyway, I'm right across from you, so I can't run away." An Mio's teeth itch in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Even if she asked Sophia about these things, she might not be able to find out anything. Firstly, Sophia was still a child at the time, and secondly, it was her privacy, so it was not easy for her to ask.

"The little girl has a great future. If you have any questions in the future, just come to me." Old Man Li seemed to think it made sense. He nodded with satisfaction, and then said mysteriously:
"What I told you before is public information, and everyone knows it, but I also know some information that others don't know. In view of your sincerity, I will make an exception and tell you."

When old man Li said these words, An Mio had a strange look on her face. She always felt that this scene was like the aunt in the vegetable market telling others some gossip.

But looking at old man Li's complacent look, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. An Mio felt that his associations were too rich, so he said seriously: "Just say it, I won't tell others."

Unexpectedly, old man Li glanced at her lightly and said, "It's okay if you tell others, it's not a secret that you can't tell."

"..." Then what were you doing with that mysterious look just now?An Mio gritted her teeth secretly, this old man doesn't play cards according to the routine at all, should I turn a blind eye to match your performance?
Ignoring An Mio's displeased expression, old man Li fell into memories: "It was a stormy night, and there was a knock on the door of my house in the middle of the night. I put on my clothes and opened the door with some doubts, thinking that it would rain so much You came to see me, it must be something urgent.

As a result, when I opened the door, I saw a man I didn't know, holding a little girl in his arms.

Seeing me open the door, the man seemed to be grasping at straws and begged me to let them stay at home for the night.

At that time, there was no room in my house for a stranger to live in, and besides, I was not a very kind person, so I rejected him.

But the man didn't give up. He knelt down in front of me and begged to stay just one night, and let them live anywhere. His daughter was seriously ill and couldn't get in the rain.

It was only then that I noticed the little girl in the man's arms. Although the wind and rain were blowing, the man's body was like a safe haven, and the little girl wasn't much wet from the rain.

I am also a person who has a child. After seeing this scene, I couldn't bear to refuse him again, so I agreed to let him live in my room.

The man told me that his daughter was seriously ill and might never wake up, and he came here to find a way to save her.

I'm noncommittal on this because I know the odds are slim, but I don't want to beat him.

I asked the man to put the little girl on the bed, and he and I made a bunk on the floor overnight.

When I woke up the next day, the man and the little girl had left. "

"That man is old Ross?" Mio asked eagerly.

"That's right, when I saw him again, he had already bought the store opposite me and opened a repair shop. What's even more amazing is that her daughter has woken up, and according to old Ross, she has fully recovered , but I asked him how he was cured, but he always avoided answering." Li old man said.

After An Mio got this information, she chatted with old man Li for a while, but unfortunately there was no valuable information other than these.

The only information of any value is that old Ross is basically away for a while this time of year.

Whether it is the mysterious past of old Rose or the mystery of Sophia's recovery, these have provided some ideas for Mio to complete the task, and the previous infiltrator's goal is likely to be related to this.

An Mio did not break her promise after receiving the news, and bought some things at old man Li's grocery store before returning to the repair shop.

An Mio who returned to the store was thinking about a question while eating, that is, according to old man Li, old Rose will be back in two days, how should she stay in the store then?

Because the old Ross has a fixed time to go out and come back every year, and the time she agreed to work here is until the old Ross comes back.

She can't lose this job no matter what, not only because of life problems, but most importantly, her current task is related to this repair shop.

But An Mio quickly gave up thinking about it, and thinking about it now doesn't make any sense, this matter can only be figured out after old Ross comes back.

There is another thing that makes An Mio strange. Old man Li said that before the old Ross left every year, he had not recruited shop assistants, and this was the first time he recruited people this year.

Mio originally thought that this was a welfare position for players, but she denied this idea after knowing the time when the old Ross would return, because the old Ross would come back before the game's public beta, and players did not exist at that time.

Of course, the possibility that the old Rose suddenly changed his mind cannot be ruled out.

After eating, An Miao started her work. She should be able to complete all the orders this afternoon.

But now there are no customers at all, and I will work very leisurely in the next few days, but this is not the situation that Mio wants to see.

This is a waste of time for her. There are only ten days left before the public beta, and her time is precious every day.

It seems that it is necessary to advance some wages to Sophia. After there is no order, she needs to use the materials in the workshop to improve her professional level.

An Mio decided to go to Sophia at night. The salary advance was one aspect, and the completion of the task was another aspect. According to the task prompt, she needed to find relevant personnel to understand the situation.

After she inquired about the situation with old man Li, she didn't get a reminder to complete the task, so old man Li was not the so-called relevant person.

Obviously, the only people involved in this task are Sophia and old Ross.
