Chapter 635: Collecting "Rewards"
Chapter 635: Collecting "Rewards"
Under Zheng Shu's instigation, Leo finally plucked up the courage to help Xiaobai "run away from home."
After using pillows and quilts to disguise themselves as sleeping people on the hospital bed, he took Xiaobai and hid from the doctor's sight and ran to a square outside to watch a funny movie playing in the square.
Of course, their luck wasn't too good. This movie should have won a family comedy award. It's a funny story about a superhero brother and his ordinary brother.
As the movie played, laughter could be heard from other audience members from time to time, but both Xiaobai and Leo were watching it very seriously.
Because they both saw the shadow of their own families in the two protagonists in the movie, Leo thought of himself who had always been like a loser and his sister Michela who was originally a favored girl.
Obviously, Michella was braver and more capable than himself, but she became disabled in both legs due to a car accident, and when she came to visit Hersharemz, she was deprived of her sight because of the Eye of God.
Watching the movie again, in lines that other viewers found funny, Leo could feel the deep irony and helplessness of being an ordinary brother in the movie.
Xiaobai needs no explanation. While watching the movie and recalling his brother who sacrificed his body to save him, although he did not move, tears unconsciously flowed from his eyes.
"Are you okay?" Even though Leo felt upset, he still chose to comfort Xiaobai first.
"Sorry." Xiaobai wiped away her tears, but she was obviously in a depressed mood.
The two of them stayed in the square in this mood that was completely incompatible with a comedy movie, until the movie ended and the crowds dispersed.
Touched by his heart, Xiaobai unconsciously moved closer to Leo, and the original gap between the two gradually disappeared.
……
……
Of course Zheng Shu didn't care about these things. After seeing the young couple sneaking out of the hospital, Zheng Shu, who had been fed up with dog food, put his hands behind his back and strolled back to the room slowly like an old man.
In the next few days, Zheng Shu's life returned to normal.
After dinner every day, he would study the newly acquired materials. With the elder-level blood realm followers as experimental subjects, Zheng Shu's research progress was accelerated again.
Most importantly, after so many completely different studies, Zheng Shu suddenly had new ideas about the original inspiration.
Looking at the space bubble that appeared slightly on his hand and then burst like a soap bubble, Zheng Shu nodded with satisfaction.
"It's very likely, but the accuracy of the experimental equipment here is not up to par. I'm afraid only Feimto's experimental equipment can help me."
Zheng Shu felt a headache when this was mentioned. Ever since meeting the King of Despair, Feimto had locked himself in the laboratory, and no one knew what he was doing.
Zheng Shu remembered that in the original novel, this guy should not have been prepared for too much in the chaos caused by the King of Despair.
"I don't know what he's doing... Hey, that's not right. This guy hasn't come out recently. Doesn't that mean..."
Thinking of a certain possibility, Zheng Shu couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
But it's still early now, so we can't verify the idea for the time being.
After Zheng Shu thought of this possibility, he no longer had the heart to continue researching it, and simply went to Libra with his hands behind his back to get some dessert.
Arriving at the headquarters of Libra with familiarity, I saw Stephen and Jane concentrating on discussing intelligence in low voices. Klaus beside them was typing on the keyboard, and the slight noise made the hall seem particularly quiet.
Zheng Shu looked at the peaceful hall in front of him and touched his chin involuntarily.
"Hmm... Is it my illusion? I feel like this is too peaceful in here?"
Leo, who was sitting on the sofa with a cup of black tea, turned his head peacefully after hearing this: "That's true, Mr. Zheng Shu, have you forgotten? When I came here before, I often saw such things happening..."
……
……
Every morning when he came to the society, Zapp would rush towards Klaus, who had his back to him, in a very arrogant manner.
"Prepare for death, boss. I will definitely kill you this time!"
Klaus was pouring champagne at this time, and both hands seemed to be occupied by fragile glass objects, which seemed to be a perfect opportunity for Zapp.
However, Klaus did something that no one expected: he directly let go of the hand holding the wine glass, and used the extremely short time that the wine glass was in the air to punch Zapp continuously to defeat him. He also kicked out to catch Zapp's "corpse", and then firmly held the wine glass that was about to fall.
Not even a drop of wine was spilled from the glass. His movements were so swift, elegant and skillful that even Zheng Shu couldn't help but applaud.
……
……
The memories ended here, and Zheng Shu also understood the reason.
"…This kind of thing used to happen frequently, but recently Mr. Zapp has stopped attacking Mr. Klaus." Leo picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
"Could it be that..." Zheng Shu touched his chin and came to a conclusion, "This guy was finally beaten to death by Klaus?"
"That's not the case!" Cold sweat broke out on Leo's face involuntarily.
Stephen also took a sip of coffee with a calm expression: "However, Zapp hasn't attacked the boss much recently. It seems that the boy has grown up."
Jane raised a finger. "I think he couldn't handle the setbacks and had given up hope. He's a lost dog. No, a lost monkey! Hahahaha, how funny."
Even Gilbert, who had been standing silently by the side, nodded involuntarily.
"But it feels a little deserted," Leo said.
Zheng Shu, who had just sat on the sofa, smiled when he heard this: "Oh, I didn't expect you to be so bold, young man. I didn't expect that."
"Ah! I'm so sorry." Leo scratched the back of his head shyly, "But it's a good thing that he doesn't act up and cause trouble for others anymore."
Stephen smiled slightly: "He has failed so many times but still perseveres. He is really an excellent employee who keeps the company's motto in mind. I used to admire his efforts..."
Beep, beep, beep!
Leo's phone rang, and the caller was the "Zap" they had just been discussing.
Leo suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but his hands moved faster and he had already pressed the answer button.
The video call was automatically answered, revealing Zapp's crying face. There were many guns and swords aimed around his head, and a knife was even stuffed directly into his mouth.
“Wuwuwuwawa! Is the boss over there?! Boss! My life is almost in danger, come and save me!”
"..."
Although Leo hung up the phone quickly, Zapp's screams were so miserable that even without the speakerphone on, they were loud enough to echo in the quiet hall.
Everyone present involuntarily turned their eyes to Klaus. After Leo put down his phone, he found that Klaus, who was playing on the computer just now, was looking at him.
"Are you going?! Are you really going?!"
Before Leo could say anything, he was forced to sit on his own scooter the next second, with Klaus's huge body huddled on the back seat of the motorcycle.
Although he wanted to say something, he didn't dare to disobey his boss. Leo reluctantly stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the car quickly disappeared in the surrounding speeding traffic.
"Tsk... don't you want to remind Klaus? Judging from Zapp's personality, this kind of thing is 99% likely caused by him."
Standing on the building and watching the disappearing scooter, Zheng Shu took a sip of black tea with an indifferent expression.
Although Zap is a scumbag and unburnable garbage, he is so scumbag that he can be peed on and hung in the Louvre for people to visit.
But Zheng Shu also had to admit that this guy was indeed a genius. Not only was he powerful in combat, he also had a strong reaction ability when faced with all kinds of messy situations.
Not to mention that this year he was just threatened by gangsters. As far as Zheng Shu knew, under normal circumstances, it should be the gangsters who were threatened and blackmailed by him.
"No way, let it be. The boss won't listen to this when he gets serious." Stephen sighed, not sure whether it was directed at Klaus or Zapp.
Recalling the plot in the original novel, Zheng Shu chuckled:
"That's fine, I hope Klaus can have fun."
If Zheng Shu remembered correctly, Zapp did this because he owed money in an underground fighting arena, so he decided to trick Klaus into fighting in the arena to pay off the debt at the same time.
Zheng Shu remembered that the boss of this underground arena was actually an elder-level blood realm follower in disguise. This guy was an avid hand-to-hand combat enthusiast, but because he was transformed into a blood realm follower, he could no longer experience the thrill of hand-to-hand combat.
However, although this guy is an avid hand-to-hand combat enthusiast and the owner of an underground boxing ring, he is not a bad guy.
His underground arena has very skilled doctors and emergency teams, and the fights in the competitions are not fights to the death, but rather fight to the death. Even the bodies he disguises himself are not killed by himself, but the corpses he picks up.
If Zheng Shu had not obtained another elder and a blood realm family member before, he might have felt a little conflicted, but now he doesn't have to worry about it. After all, one experimental subject is enough.
After quietly drinking morning tea and praising Gilbert's cooking skills, Zheng Shu saw that the time was almost up, so he stood up and greeted the others.
"It is a perfect tea, Mr. Gilbert. Well, everybody, I will be leaving for the day. Good-bye."
"It is my honor to receive your appreciation. I wish you a safe journey," Gilbert replied with an elegant salute.
……
……
Deep in the thick fog near the center of Hersharemz, a huge aerial fortress is suspended.
The road in front of the building was covered by thick fog and cut off in the void. Without a familiar customer to lead the way, it would be extremely difficult to even find the way in.
When Zheng Shu arrived at the castle gate, someone was already waiting there.
The triangular skull looked like a torch with a glowing flame burning in the center. Judging from its position, it looked more like the other person's eyeball.
The other person was wearing a decent suit, and even though he was a ferocious-looking alien, one could still feel elegance and respect from his movements.
"Welcome, come and experience the wonderful taste of the new alien cuisine restaurant - Mozzo Guazza." The deceased who was welcoming guests bowed to Zheng Shu who was walking towards him.
"Excuse me, do you have an appointment?"
Looking at the top-notch restaurant in another world that he had visited several times, Zheng Shu's eyes were filled with emotion and excitement.
With his current income, eating at Mozoguaza every now and then is not a burden anymore, but unfortunately, after his income increased, the frequency of eating here became less.
The reason is very simple, there are not enough reservation spaces.
The restaurant became popular so quickly that by the time Zheng Shu realized what was happening, reservations had already been scheduled for a year later.
The chef invitation ticket in Zheng Shu's hand can give him an opportunity to make an advance reservation once a quarter, but only once every three months.
You can only eat delicacies like this once every three months. It’s more of a torture than good luck!
But today, Zheng Shu suddenly thought of a good way to increase the number of times he eats.
With so many things on his mind, Zheng Shu's expression did not change at all, and he answered very naturally: "Use Feimuto's reservation qualification for this week."
Since Fimto was one of the first official guests of this other-worldly restaurant after its opening, and he also helped it solve many problems, plus he would visit regularly every week, it was natural for him to have a fixed number of dining spots at Mozoguaza every week.
It was precisely because he knew this that Zheng Shu would often follow Feimuto and eat for free. Occasionally, when Feimuto was late for experiments, Zheng Shu would come early to order food for him.
Over time, the restaurant staff here have become accustomed to the two of them appearing together, and they don't have too many questions about Zheng Shu's request.
"Understood. Then please follow me."
The waiter pushed open the door for Zheng Shu, revealing a wide corridor leading to the depths of the palace.
Looking at the luxurious sculptures in the corridor in front of him, Zheng Shu had a blank expression on the surface, but he was smiling extremely arrogantly in his heart.
"Wahahaha! Fimto, you're doing well in seclusion, you're doing well in seclusion!"
Zheng Shu didn't feel guilty at all about snatching the dining spot at Feimuto. He heard it when he was tracking him some time ago. The bastard was planning to ask him to help clean up the mess, so Zheng Shu naturally didn't mind getting some compensation in advance.
"I haven't heard from Feimto for almost ten days. I didn't think about this last week and wasted my dining privilege.
It seems that I can come more frequently in the future..."
"Ah chirp!"
Femto in the laboratory suddenly sneezed, his hand trembled, and the biochemical beast he was making in front of him collapsed and died.
"Hmm? Am I too tired? Looks like I need to go to Mozoguaza for a good meal after the experiment."
After looking around in confusion and finding nothing wrong, Feimuto could only cheer up and continue with the work in his hands.
