Heroic Death System [BL]

Arc 8: Covenantor (XIX)

Lu Xiufan gave Shang Ke a tour of the entire villa. Both the villa and the mansion had similar styles. The most surprising thing was that the laboratory was currently under construction. It would mainly be used to research drugs, diseases, medical equipment, and other projects such as the mental virus which was a plague that lasted for hundreds of years. This project was originally put on hold for a while, but Lu Xiufan had recently restarted it again.

He had brought Shang Ke to this villa so that he could recover at a faster rate as well as recover from the side effects of his surgery.

Once Shang Ke noticed the laboratory, he felt as if Lu Xiufan had answered his prayers.

The System had given him the task of researching drugs. Lu Xiufan provided him with readily-made research equipment and all the experts in the field. Even though he couldn't just hand over the brain repair serum, he could consult with these professionals whenever he needed assistance.

The mission of this world wasn't as difficult when Liu Xiufan helped.

Shang Ke gave Liu Xiufan an intent stare until the other wrote a response on an electronic tablet, 【What's wrong?】

He suddenly had a feeling that they might be able to live together until they reached a ripe old age.

Shang Ke shook his head and didn't say anything.

The events that occurred at the distribution center were passed on to an agent hired by Liu Xiufan. The Yue family had already arranged a new successor. This gave him more time to relax at the villa and conduct scientific experiments.

Surrounding the villa, there were several medicinal gardens which contained rare herbs. Shang Ke's room faced these medicinal gardens, so he could smell the fragrance of these herbs. The purple flowers in the garden swayed gently and looked like surging waves.

Shang Ke took one glance at the room and already fell in love. He felt happy as he enjoyed the view outside his window.

At that moment, the housekeeper knocked on the door. Shang Ke looked at the doorway and saw him bring in a white dog that was half his height. He saluted Lu Xiufan before he knelt to remove the dog's leash.

The large dog tilted his head. He slowly wandered over to Liu Xiufan's side and rubbed himself against Liu Xiufan's leg. He gave Shang Ke a look of assessment.

Shang Ke briefly looked at the dog's face before he held his hand out towards it.

The large dog gave him a reserved look before he extended his paws to touch Shang Ke's palm as acknowledgement.

Lu Xiufan's eyes briefly held a smile in them as he patted the dog's head with one hand and touched Shang Ke's head with the other. He felt that both were praiseworthy.

Shang Ke and the large dog both looked at Lu Xiufan with shockingly similar looks in their eyes.

Lu Xiufan, 'I suddenly get the feeling that life is very enjoyable.'

The large dog's name was Snowball which didn't seem to match its noble appearance. Due to his pure white color, he would look invisible if he walked across the snow. When Lu Xiufan wasn't around, Snowball would mainly stay at Shang Ke's side.

"Where's Xiao Ze?" Lu Xiufan asked when he returned to the villa soaked with rain. He didn't notice the man that he was expecting to greet him.

"Young Master Ze is in the fifth laboratory," the housekeeper answered while taking Lu Xiufan's coat.

"In the laboratory?" Lu Xiufan remembered that Shang Ke had applied for a laboratory job to research the mental virus not long before. Lu Xiufan didn't refuse him and assumed that he wanted to compensate for the time he couldn't work.
