Chapter 1653: Strike up a conversation
Harold, the manager of [Desolate Store·Eighth Branch] is undoubtedly a person with super ability. In less than two minutes, he personally helped Mo Tan and others set up a table outside, bowed slightly and then left with a smile, not even leaving a menu for everyone.
Obviously, although this person is very cooperative with Mo Tan and others' low-key ideas and does not give any special treatment on the surface, there is a high probability that this meal will not cost the money of the Wangwang team. Then The same goes for the three rooms that were vacated by God knows how.
"How should I put it..."
Looking at Harold's back helplessly, Jadeka smiled dryly and twitched the corner of his mouth, sighing: "He is indeed a Wanderer. People from the hostel, it’s okay for Mo to be famous in Academy City before, why can he even recognize me?”
Mo Tan chuckled, waved his hand and said: "Old Jia, you are wrong. No matter what people think, I am here for you. I am just a dispensable addition. This should be within the gold rush triangle and about 100 meters away from Caselo." The closest place to the grassland, even though it is separated by the Principality of Freya and the state of Toril, the influence of your Diesel family can still be radiated, so we can get this treatment mainly because of your face. "
"Wandeka!"
Ya patted Jadeka on the shoulder hard, then gave him a thumbs up, nodded vigorously and said: "Wangdeka!"
< br>Lujiang held her little face in joy and sighed softly: "Ah~ Is this the happiness of relationship households? Suddenly I began to understand those little girls who like to find older men with successful careers."
"Calm down, Lujiang, you are a boy!"
Ji Xiaoge slapped Lujiang staggering with one wing, and then sighed: "It's really amazing, this is the so-called multifaceted businessman."
As a result, the old mage snorted softly. With a sound, he stroked his beard and said angrily: "I don't think that Harold is very smart. If you think about it carefully, you will know that although I His surname is Diesel, but he has nothing to do with the family. If he were smarter, he shouldn't fawn over me."
"Oh, Lao Jia, please stop being awkward."
< br>Ji Xiaoge winked at Jadeka narrowly and said with a smile: "I still remember it. You were just following us before. In the past few days, that uncle Darien specially asked someone to build a mage tower. It was the same in Academy City. The entire Diesel delegation was respectful to you and they didn't want to fawn over you. Who are you fawning over?"
Mo Tan also nodded and echoed a fair statement: "And since we accept their favor, you can return it. After I went there, I had to mention it to Mr. Darien, even if it was just a casual mention. The benefits to this [Desolate Store No. 8 Branch] and that 'Supervisor Harold' would be worth not knowing. How many meals, how many rooms, after all, this is a business managed by others, how troublesome is it to let us have a free meal and a free night.”
"Those grandsons who are doing business are all smart. One by one, they all have ulterior motives."
Wang Badan, who was lying between Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge, curled his lips and said in a loud voice: "So we can eat and sleep as much as we can, and don't forget about him. When we meet Mr. Jia's grandson later, we will tell him that the brothers were robbed in this store, and ask him to lead someone to take over the place. "Copy... Ouch!"
Wang Badan, who was kicked on the left and right sides of his face by his eldest brother and eldest sister at the same time, let out a cry and retracted his head into his shell in frustration.
"In short, this is a good thing. After all, the problem of food and lodging tonight has been solved."
Mo Tan gave Wang Ba another courageous kick and looked at Jadeka who looked a little awkward. He smiled and said: "You, stop insisting on drawing a clear line with your family. You should have thought about this a long time ago."
Ji Xiaoge immediately nodded his head and echoed: "That's right, Lao Jia, think about it for yourself, everyone in your family, from the head of the Darien family to the juniors like Leah and Scarlett, likes them all." As a great grandfather, even your parents will definitely hope that you can return to your roots. Is it your own decision to run away from home? Did anyone say that they would not let you go back? "
"Oh, this...isn't the case. ..."
Jadeka opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He just tried weakly to refute.
"It's just hypocritical."
Wang Ba, who was huddled in his shell, muttered a word, and then added the second sentence in a nonchalant manner: "It's just cheap!"
Boom!
"You are the least qualified to call others mean."
Ji Xiaoge angrily kicked Wang Badan's shell, then turned to Jadeka and shrugged: "But What he said is not entirely wrong. Lao Jia, you are indeed a bit hypocritical."
Mo Tan Dian. Head, last hit: "And the reason why you proposed to go back to Cassero Grassland this time, I can't say 100%, but it is definitely because you want to go back and have a look to a certain extent, right? Don't be harsh, we are not outsiders, there is nothing bad to say ."
"Alas..."
In desperation, Jadeka sighed again, shook his head and said: "Probably, I don't actually know, but...how to put it, I do feel a little homesick."
"That's it. By the way, no matter how you came out, it is your home after all."
Mo Tan chuckled and said with a smile: "In addition, there are still many family members who care about you. Everyone wants to go back and visit often. If you ask me, you might as well stay at home for a year and a half...Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore, you can make your own decision."
Zai Jia. Under Deka's glare, Mo Tan didn't finish his words after all. Obviously, it was a huge improvement for the old man to admit that he was homesick. He wanted him to stay there and enjoy family happiness. Now It seems somewhat unrealistic.
“Change the subject, change the subject.”
Jadeka knocked on the table with a red face, as if he couldn't bear it anymore.
But no one continued to embarrass him, an old comrade. After laughing a few times, they casually changed the topic and started chatting all over the place.
The food was served very quickly. I don’t know if it was because of the special instructions from supervisor Harold. Anyway, less than a quarter of an hour after everyone sat down, several waiters came over and said, "Swish, swish, swish." The table was piled full of wine, meat, vegetables and soup, and although some of them looked ordinary, Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge and others knew that these things were not simple when they took a look at their chopsticks.
There is no other reason. These foods are all considered 'items' and are explained on the panel. Therefore, even if they can fool a layman, they have no clue about the existence of players who can ignore the appearance until the essence, so Mo Tan simply ate around and took a little of each dish, and then he roughly judged the value of the dishes on the table.
A conservative estimate is that this dinner, which they are destined not to pay for, is at least three hundred gold coins. And those tasks that are more suitable for the strength level of the Wangwang team will be difficult for everyone to pay after completion. Three hundred gold coins.
Therefore, the person in charge must have spent a lot of money. Although he did not make the scene particularly glamorous, and some of the valuable hard dishes were even deliberately made unsightly, the core was very high-end. Completely in line with the 'understated yet luxurious concept'.
Not only that, Mo Tan, who has studied the description of the items in detail, is even more keenly aware that the dishes that fit the above description are all types closer to Caselo. In other words, although they are similar to his own Such a 'layman' would probably not be able to tell that this is a good thing without using the system panel, but Jadeka Diesel can definitely taste it, which makes people have to sigh at the high level of supervisor Harold. There is no benefit in doing good deeds without leaving your name, so the best way is to leave your name in a less obvious way.
This approach may be a bit philistine, but it is not annoying. After all, you are not the second uncle of the family. If you don’t want anything, why should you be treated specially?
All in all, a few people were eating and drinking happily. Mo Tan, who currently doesn't like alcoholic drinks, even had two drinks with Lao Jia. Everyone was eating food and drinking wine. , talking nonsense, bragging, the atmosphere was great, just like a normal adventurer team.
But...
Everyone who understands knows that the development of things is actually not right.
The reason is simple. This is so smooth and normal!
For others, this can almost be said to be 'daily' and 'normal', but for Mo Tan and the others, it is a bit like a supernatural event.
In Wang Badan’s words, it is—things force one’s constitution.
Of course, this kind of feudal superstition was naturally scorned by Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge, but in fact, these two people occasionally became frightened because the painting style around them was too normal. They always felt that God knew when Bo Da would come. .
For example, the time they went to the Golden City before, just two minutes after the painting style got on track, they were involved in a series of incidents. In the end, not only did they visit the ruins of the Sun Dynasty, they almost Let A Liang marry a certain kobold chief, and even witness a magnificent dragon battle.
So except for Lujiang, although everyone didn’t say anything, they actually started to be wary in their hearts. Even Yaya, who was still feasting, had already prepared that there would be something in the next second. He was not ready to let anything fall in the air and smash the dining table. At this moment, he was staring closely at a few of his favorite meat dishes, preparing to rescue him as soon as possible in case of emergency.
Facts have proved that everyone’s vigilance was not unfounded——
About half an hour later, after Mo Tan and others had eaten and drank, only Yaya and Wang were left. While Ba Dan was cleaning the final battlefield, a drunken voice suddenly sounded close to him.
"Miss~"
Without any warning, a handsome blond elf appeared beside Lu Jiang, casually inserted a blue lantern flower that could be seen everywhere in a radius of more than ten miles into her ear, and raised it The cup in his hand smiled and said: "Is it my honor to have a drink with you?"
< br>The somewhat dazed Lujiang blinked and reacted for a while before letting out a dull voice: "Huh?"
Ding~
The visitor is minding his own business. He knocked his wine glass against the drink in Lujiang's hand and smiled: "Cheers to your beauty."
"Ah?"
Lujiang was stunned again. Seeing that the other party drank the glass of wine in his hand, he shook his head helplessly and raised his own drink: "If you want to strike up a conversation, You have found the wrong person.”
“Miss, I am just shocked by your beauty.”
The handsome elf man chuckled and then raised his head to the side. He raised his chin and smiled: "Just like my friend who has been attracted by your friend and wants to come over and bother you no matter what."
Lujiang followed his gaze. I went there and found another rabbit boy who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, with beautiful white curly hair and a pair of long ears standing on top of his head, standing next to Ji Xiaoge with a red face, holding a cup awkwardly, and looked at It looks like a cute little milk dog...er, a little milk rabbit.
"Who are you?"
Ji Xiaoge, who looked a little lazy because he had eaten too much, turned to look at Little Milk Rabbit, and said that although he was gentle and polite, Mo Tan knew it was business-like as soon as he heard it. He asked in a tone of voice: "What do you want from me?"
"I...I, I, I..."
The half-orc boy from the rabbit tribe was trembling with a red face. He kept looking at the elf man next to Lu Jiang not far away for help, but he was ignored by him. Completely ignored, and finally had to bite the bullet and said: "I ...I just said that I wanted to make friends with my eldest sister, and then Brother Chengfeng brought me here, right...I'm sorry!"
I have to say that this boy's temperament is indeed very cute, plus His lovable appearance and contrasting cute tallness With her figure, if she were an ordinary big sister, she would probably be bumped into for a few moments if she was hit like this unexpectedly. As for the negative impact of the conversation, the main responsibility is attributed to the blond elf who seems to like to play pranks. Reduced to the lowest level.
All in all, in this case, most girls will instinctively have a favorable impression of at least ten percentage points. This has nothing to do with superficiality or anything. Since ancient times, good-looking people have meant that it is easy to win the favor of others. Because the yearning for beautiful things is the instinct of all intelligent creatures.
But unfortunately...
Ji Xiaoge, who was accosted by this little nanny bunny, is the ultimate embodiment of the concept of 'beautiful things', even the ultimate representation. , so her resistance to similar things is really strong. If it's a girl, it's fine, but if it's a boy... To be honest, the one who can make this girl have psychological fluctuations with her appearance must at least be Ultraman or Brother. Silla's level.
So——
“It doesn’t matter.”
Ji Xiaoge smiled tenderly at the little nanny in front of him and said with a smile: "I forgive you. Let your brother take you back quickly. Children may be in danger if they come out so late."
The young man blinked and asked very innocently: "Danger refers to... beautiful people like you, big sister?"
"No."
< br>Ji Xiaoge shook her head, then raised her little hand and pointed under the table with her white and slender index finger -
"For example, the bastard raised by my eldest sister likes to bite children. Crotch~”
