Chapter 520: Star Salesperson

Mischievous Monkey remembered immediately. “You’re...the salesperson?”

“You got it. That’s me.” Hong Xiaoxiao was still smiling. She leaned forward and craned her neck to take a look into the room. What she saw made her jump. “Whoa! That bad?”

Mischievous Monkey asked darkly. “You’re an awakener?”

“Don’t worry, Sir Monkey. I’m on your side.” Hong Xiaoxiao walked into the room and jumped around on her toes, making it across the debris on the floor. She turned to Zhong He, her gaze nervous. “Please leave the room for a moment, Cutie. Let me help them first before I explain everything.”

Zhong He hesitated. He didn’t really trust the woman, but things couldn’t get worse than they were now. He quickly left the room.

Hong Xiaoxiao walked up to the large hole in the wall. The bed was gone, but half of the nightstand remained. With its other half corroded by green deadly rays, the nightstand toppled to the ground, and the box of skin care products Hong Xiaoxiao had sold Officer Huang rolled to the corner.

“It’s a silver lining.” Hong Xiaoxiao sighed in relief. “If this were gone too, there would be nothing I could do.”

She knelt down and placed her hands on the box of skin care products. The box disassembled immediately, and the cans and bottles inside scattered, revealing a Mobius strip hidden among them. It was about the size of two rings combined, and it flew onto Hong Xiaoxiao’s palm with a whoosh.

Putting her two thumbs through the Mobius strip, Hong Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and breathed deeply.

Hum. The Mobius strip flickered a strange white light, and its texture changed, the strip turning into a flexible white rubber band.

“Time Reset!” Hong Xiaoxiao declared softly, pulling the strip to two sides like she was playing cat’s cradle.

White energy weaved amid her ten fingers before quickly splitting into countless white strands. The white strands flowed and spread quickly like seaweeds, filling the room in no time and beginning to restore everything.

It wasn’t rewinding like a video tape, but resetting in its truest sense. Without discriminating between targets, everything and everyone in the room was being reset all at the same time.

The walls, bed, furniture, curtains, and Su Xi’s body reemerged in the form of white energy first before slowly being revealed. Su Xi returned wholly intact. The same happened to Officer Huang’s body. He was first enveloped by energy, and the blood on the floor quickly disappeared.

Everything reverted back to normal in thirty seconds.

Zhong He came to a realization. “So you were loading a save, making everything in this room return to its previous state three minutes ago?”

“Yeah.” Hong Xiaoxiao smiled. “I got lucky. If Officer Huang hadn’t killed himself inside the room, or if he hadn’t bought the skin care products from me, I wouldn’t have the chance to mark the room and have a save to restore to.”

Zhong He sweated. That was way too close. It was indeed incredible good luck on Hong Xiaoxiao’s part. Could it be beginner’s privilege at play?

“Still, I won’t be able to use the ability on them for the next three days. I’ll have to rely on you to protect Ms. Su during this time.”

Zhong He nodded and went up to help the unconscious Officer Huang up, placing him on a chair. Then he turned around and held Hong Xiaoxiao’s gaze seriously. “I owe you one, Hong Xiaoxiao.”

“Oh, it’s nothing. It’s my job.” Hong Xiaoxiao brushed away the bang covering her eyes. “Oh, would you like to try our skin care products?”

Zhong He paused.

Hong Xiaoxiao stood on her toes and leaned toward Zhong He. “Although your skin condition is good, it’s a little on the dry side. You’ll get wrinkles as you grow older. It’s necessary to take care of your skin.”

“We happen to sell a hydrating sheet mask that’ll be perfect for you. Combined with other skin care products, it’ll...”

“I’ll buy three sets. Once I use them up, I’ll contact you.” Zhong He didn’t want to hear the whole spiel. He took out his phone and opened the payment app.

“Huh?”

“How much do three sets cost?”

“Oh, right, right. I’ll take them out. With three sets, you’ll get a twenty percent discount... Let me see. A moment.” Hong Xiaoxiao hurriedly rummaged through her satchel.

She was celebrating in her mind. He bought three sets before I even finished introducing the products! Another saint!

I’m so lucky...no, luck is part of my strength. I’ll be a star salesperson in no time!
